CHAPTER SEVENTY !
☆
In the morning, estella woke up in an empty bed. she did fall asleep alone after daryl had told her she needed to get used to sleeping on her own. she woke up in the middle of the night, just screaming and crying with a nightmare, though, so daryl took her into his bed. she as finally able to sleep properly when he did.
she sat up, getting out of the bed. she opened up her backpack and picked out some clothes she'd got from the kingdom. she put on a white t-shirt with a grey jacket and some blue jeans, and put on her boots and hat. she put her new knife in her belt, and walked out of the room, making her way over to the cows.
estella had never been a big fan of cows, she always thought they were too big. they were cute when they were babies, but they just grew unnecessarily huge. the ones at the hilltop were cute, though.
"moo!" she heard daryl say as he grabbed a hold of her shoulders.
"was that supposed to be a funny way of saying boo?" she asked, turning around to look at him with an unamused face.
"no..." he trailed off, she laughed loudly.
"that was such a bad joke. you're terrible at jokes. leave them to me, okay? i'm funnier than you." she answered.
"i'm offended." he said, sitting on one of the benches.
"i'm offended by how bad that joke was." she said, sitting oppsite him. he pulled an apple from his pocket and gave it to her.
"i got ya this," he said, she smiled as she bit into it.
"thanks, dada." she replied.
"ain't a problem." he said, going to ruffle her hair, but realising he couldn't because of the hat. "damn, ya turnin' into carl."
"he gave me it as a gift. i like to wear it." she said with a smile.
suddenly, a bell began to ring. the two of them looked up in confusion, to see the man at the gate ringing the bell. "the saviours are coming!"
at those words, estella felt her entire body begin to shake. her palms felt like they were getting sweaty, her head felt like it was pounding, and her breath was getting stuck in her throat. she clung to the side of daryl. she didn't want the saviours to take her back.
"we have to get maggie!" enid said as she ran over.
"where is she?" daryl asked, getting up. estella got up, too.
