Two Opposites | Daryl Dixon

Chapter 40: Lines and Letters

Alexis jolted upwards taking in big breaths, she frantically looked around and realized she was just dreaming, well more like having a nightmare. Alexis noticed that everyone else was sleeping still, when she stood up she felt slightly dizzy. Alexis grabbed her head with a sigh and looked down at the boy and mother who were sleeping peacefully, when she thought back to her nightmare she thought about the events that happened, somehow the group got jumped by walkers and Trisha and Ethan got trapped, the walkers getting to the two, but it was just a nightmare, it wasn't real.

All of the sudden Alexis felt a sudden sickness hit her, she ran to window trying to climb out as fast as she could, the group made makeshift steps so that helped more, when she hit the floor she immediately got sick into a bush. Alexis groaned as she sat there for a few minutes getting sick into the bush, what could possible make her do that? A hand grabbed her hair and pulled it back, Alexis looked up and saw Dylan standing behind her. "You okay?" He asked, the hint of him being worried shined in his eyes.

Alexis smiled, "Yeah, don't know what happened. Just felt a little sick for some reason."

Dylan helped her stand up and the two looked around, "You think we'll find anyone else from the group soon?" Dylan asked.

Alexis frowned, "I hope."

"Hey I'm sure Daryl is fine, he's a fighter." Dylan said, as he smiled down at the worried women.

Alexis sighed and put on a fake smile, "Yeah, I know."

The two climbed back through the window and noticed that basically everyone except for Ethan was awake. Everyone seemed to be eating some type of food for breakfast, Trisha walked over and handed both Alexis and Dylan a water bottle and some type of granola bar. "Here you guys need to eat before we leave."

"Leave? Where are we going?" Alexis asked, she looked around confused.

"There's a small town a few miles from here. We figured it wouldn't hurt to check it out, maybe some of you group is there." Samantha explained.

Alexis made an 'oh.' face before she took a bit of her granola bar as she took a small glimpse at the boy that laid on the floor. "You letting him rest till we leave?" Alexis asked the mother.

Trisha looked down at Ethan, "I woke him up a few minutes ago, he must've fallen back asleep. Ethan wake up." Trisha scolded the boy, making him shoot up real quick.

"I'm awake." He said, which made everyone laugh.

"Sure you were buddy." Nathan patted the boy on the shoulder before grabbing his own bag and putting it on his shoulder. "I'm going to check to see if the coast is clear, Dylan you mind joining?"

Dylan nodded, grabbing his own stuff before following the other man out the window. The rest of the group hurried to finish their breakfast before grabbing their belongings and heading out the window. They walked to the front of the building where Nathan and Dylan stood waiting, two walkers laying next to them. "We good?" Sam asked.

Nathan nodded, "Yup, just these two."

Everyone grouped together on the road, staying close as they made their way toward the town. After walking for a few minutes Alexis groaned in pain as her hand held onto her stomach. Dylan looked at her, "You feel sick again?"

Everyone stopped and looked at the women with worried expressions. Alexis shook her head, "No I'm okay, let's keep going." Alexis replied, holding onto her stomach while she walked forward.

Trisha looked at where Alexis's hand was and frowned, 'She couldn't be.' Trisha thought while looking down at Ethan who was also looking at Alexis. Dylan told Trisha about what happened, he said that he was awake before her and watched her almost fall over and then she got sick outside. 'Could she?'
