Starved

chapter 10

I turned around quick. "Woah baby it's ok we aren't going to hurt you...if you cooperate." A tall muscular man said. There were to other men next to him. They looked like they where from a biker gang and had to all be in there thirties. My heart pounded and I breathed heavy in fear of my life. I looked you at him with a wide eyed expression my lower jaw hanging in shock. He still had his hands on my waist.
"What are you going to do?" I say in a high pitched innocent voice.
"That depends" the man on his right said in a deep gutted voice.
"On what?" I questioned still trying to sound polite. The two man from the back look at each other with a chuckle then look back at me. The middle one finally answers.
"Well how do you like it?" He says with a disgusting smirk on his face. I was pissed but had to remain calm.
"Sir I'm only 15 please let me go"
"Hmmm, I thought you were older. But hey I always kind if liked them young." He said with the same smirk on his face. That was it! I grabbed his shoulders and drove my knee right in between his legs. When he bent down in agony I stabbed in the eyes with my two fingers (my dad taught a self defence class). I looked back at the two men and ran away as fast as I could.
"KILL THAT GIRL!" The middle man yelled. I ran though bushes and thorns I hoped fallen logs and streams. Anything to keep me from the horrifying fate that I would have faced. I ran and ran and ran I couldn't hear them but I was to afraid to stop. When I finally broke out of the forest and found the road I was worried. What if they found me again? They would do far worse then what they had planned. I wanted to go back to Rick and Carl they could protect me but I know that I was unwanted there. I walk fast down the road hoping to find shelter, and I did it was a town I think. I ran faster up to it. It had huge walls.
"Hello I need help!"I yelled banging on the wall. No answer. "Anybody?!" Then the doors began to open up. There standing there with a darkened silhouette.
"Eleanor?"
"Daryl!" I scream running to him in tears thankful to find them again. I throw my arms around his shoulder.
"So how you been sunshine?"
Daryl leads me into the town. His arm is wrapped around my waist and I have my arm just barley around his shoulder do to my height. I was out of it and dizzy, I think he could tell. Although my eyes were barely open it felt as if the apocalypse had never happened and I was being carried home after a long summers day. The aroma of a cookout filled the air and Daryl actually smelt nice. I could hear laughter and glasses clinking together. Was I dreaming? Was it possible that I would wake up cold, alone and hungry? The thought worried me. I tried to stand up on my own but Daryl held me closer when I struggled. I couldn't find my voice, all that came out was a slight muffled moan.
Daryl brought me inside somewhere; it smelt like cotton and lavender. He laid me down and wiped my forehead
"sleep tight sunshine." he whispered softly before leaving the room. That was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep. -
I woke up well rested but starving. I sat up on the bed and peered around the room, nothing but a dresser a tv a night stand a chest and a bed. I knew the tv wasn't working and I was too hungry to investigate the rest. In the room there were three doors. Behind one door there was a small closet behind the other a bathroom. On the toilet there was a folder pair of close clean socks and brown combat boots. It was a pair of black silky leggings and a long blue buttoned up blouse with lace. The outfit was nice but it still needed something so I walked over to the edge of the bed and put on my leather jacket "much better" I thought to myself. I went out the third and final door which lead to a hallway. Walking slowly down the empty hallway I felt nothing. No more hunger. No more curiosity. No feelings at all as if something had just taken over me. Everything, every feeling, every thought just went away. When I reached the end of the hallway I was greeted by a pair of wooden stairs then I snapped back into reality. Once again I felt an overpowering hunger and I rushed down the stairs wondering how Daryl managed to get me up here. I reached the bottom of the staircase to find nobody. The place was unusually quiet. I ignored everything else and ran straight to the door. When I opened the door I was shocked. All I kept think was "I must be dreaming."
