Daryl's Girl

Chapter 67

"What is it?" Tdog whispered as he slowly started to make his way back over to me.

"I don't know. I can't see." I whispered back. But whatever it is, it's kicking up a lot of dust. Do you have any binoculars or something?"

"No." Tdog shook his head. I guess we just had to wait for whatever it was to get closer so we'd be able to see it.

We both continued watching as the dust cloud got closer and closer. As it did, I began to get some sort of idea on what it was, but as it was dark I couldn't see. That and I don't think anyone was willing to be running round at night, again. Then again it wasn't safe for us to wait until the last possible moment. We'd made that mistake before which was why Rick wanted someone on watch at all times. The rule was, you see a walker we get out.

"Should we tell the others? We might be lucky and whatever it is might pass us." I squinted through the trees, glancing over at T. I thought it best to get his opinion.

Tdog didn't reply so instead we stayed knelt down for a moment just watching the dust cloud. Then I saw something move. Tdog must've seen it too as all of a sudden he straightened himself up looking in the same direction I was. "Look." He pointed. Then there was more movement and we could both clearly see what awaited us. Walkers and a shit ton of them. "What do we do?"

I glanced over at him as we both stood up and looked at all of the dust they were kicking up, getting closer and closer. "Come on." I gently tugged on his arm and made my way over to the ladder, then stopped. "Go down and tell the others. I'll stay up here and keep watch." I ordered. I still had to decide if I was gonna go with them.

"You can't stay up here on your own. We need to get out now and we're gonna need your help." He refused, gently pulling me with him. "If you're worried about Daryl, don't be. You can climb into the back of my truck if you want and Carol or someone can ride with him." He insisted. "I'm not leaving without you."

"T..." I sighed and glanced back at the walkers growig ever closer. I had an uphill battle that I knew I wouldnt win. Tdog wasnt going to leave unless I was with him. "Fine. Go."

Tdog nodded and began to climb down the ladder. I then did the same feeling the cold metal on my hands from when I first climbed up. We then crept back around to the front of the ware house where we found it all clear for the time being. There was a clear shot through the fence to the vehicles but we had to go now. This was our only chance.

Together we both ran towards the entrance where I swung the door open, not thinking twice about the sound it would make. We then quickly ran in and into the room where everyone else was gathered. "We need...to go...now! Big...herd of walkers heading this way!" Tdog panted.

Almost immediately everyone started to pack up their belongings and grab the bags. We all then made a break for the gap in the fence and over to the vehicles. Rick, Lori and Carl ran to the first to be followed by Hershal, Glenn, Maggie and Beth. Daryl ran to his motorcyle and I think he half expected me to jump on the back with him, but I didn't. Instead I jumped into the second car with Tdog, Briana, Norman, Carol and my dad.

I didn't like being in the car with Norman but luckily we were sat as far apart from each other as it were phisically possible with me in the front besides Tdog and him in the very back. I don't think anyone in that car would've let Norman anywhere near me, especially both Briana and my dad.

As soon as Tdog started the car the walkers began to emerge from the trees. We were out of time. Daryl drove off first and I turned my head out of the side window so I didn't have to see him as we then followed on behind with Rick just in front. We couldn't afford to stop.
