CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN !

☆

       ESTELLA WOKE UP IN a cold sweat. she'd had a pretty bad dream, it was horrible. she had a dream that her mom had come back as a walker despite estella shooting her in the head, and attacked people in the cell block, killing the people she liked. daryl, rick, judith, carl, issy, patrick... a whole lot of people that deserved anything other than death. just as her mom was about to bite into her rib cage, that's when she had woken up, breathing heavily as she stared up at the ceiling.

she sighed, gripping the front of her hair and running her hands down her face, feeling the sweat on her forehead. she was thankful it was all just a dream. her brows furrowed when she heard heavy footsteps dragging along the floor, and groans.

maybe she was still in her nightmare.

she furrowed her eyebrows tighter, getting up off the bed and slipping on her boots, grabbing a flashlight from her night stand. she turned it on and walked out of the cell, tiptoeing down the stairs, following the noises.

they lead her to D block. she followed the wet footprints on the ground. who was up at this time, and why were they wet? it was a strict order that kids weren't allowed out of their cells past ten pm, and the footsteps were small, like a kids. estella knew she wasn't supposed to be out of her cell, but she kind of wanted to catch maddy out of her cell and sneaking out so she could get her into trouble, or oliver so she could black mail him just like he had done to her.

when she didn't see anything, she just rolled her eyes and headed back to her cell, in C block. she took off her shoes, and laid back down, going to sleep.

she woke up maybe around an hour later, hearing the common sound of rick's alarm clock. she pulled herself back out of the bed, putting some clothes on, along with her boots, and made her way down the steps, where she saw rick, judith, and beth.

"morning." rick said to her with a smile.

"good morning." she replied, sitting down.

"did you sleep okay?" beth asked her, she shrugged.

"hm, a little. i had a nightmare, but it went after i went back to sleep maybe an hour ago." estella explained.

"nightmares are the worst." beth said, taking judith from rick's arms.

"i know." estella replied, hopping off the chair.

"what are your plans for today?" rick asked her.

"i'm probably gonna hang out with charlotte a little. she's been wanting to hang out with me since i got back from the run but i haven't been up for it. figured i can't leave her waiting much longer." she said back.
