Broken Wings (Daryl dixon x Reader)

Chapt 4. CDC

"Y/N, wake up we're here" Tyler said getting out of the van. I opened my eyes seeing the hundreds of dead bodies.

It was like something out of a horror movie, seeing the flies buzzing and the smell was awful. Of course the whole world was a horror movie now.

Lori and Carol both were trying to keep their children close to their bodies hiding them from the horrors that happens here. I walked behind Tyler, one arm covering my nose and the other holding my knife out. It was one of those time I wished for some Vicks vapor rub. That was my savior in the early days of my apprenticeship, especially with decomp. cases.

"Keep moving" I heard someone say

The sun was setting and I hoped that Rick was right about this, it wasn't just walker we had to worry about now it was people.

Suddenly I tripped over one of the dead, I was too distracted by my own thoughts and wasn't paying attention. I felt someone grab the back of my shirt keeping me from falling. I looked back and seeing it was Austin.

"Watch it." I heard Daryl say. I just glanced at him. Austin on the other hand gave me a smile.

"We're almost there keep it together" I heard Shane say.

We finally arrived at the doors which Rick rattled. I was to distracted by the bodies to look at the doors. I saw that each of them had some type of injury to the head. The only way to kill them.

Shane and Rick began pounding at the door which attracted a few walkers.

"There's nobody here" I heard T-Dog say.

"Then why are these shutter down?" Rick asked. I watched the walker coming up to us

"Walkers!" I heard Daryl yell. "Thanks for the warning asshole" Daryl whispered to me. I just kept quiet. I heard the children behind me begin to cry. They were scared, terrified even.

"You led us into a graveyard!" Daryl yelled at Rick.

"He made a call." Shane defended

"It was the wrong damn call!" Daryl said obviously ticked off. I wondered if he was actually just scared.

"Just shut up" Shane said getting into his face pushing Daryl back "You here me? Shut up!"

"Rick this is a dead end" Shane said turning to Rick

"Where are we gonna go?" I heard Carol ask.

"She's right we can't be this close to the city after dark" Lori said, she was scared too, her voice was shaking.

"Fort Benning, Rick, still an option." Shane said. I turned around looking at the doors and at a camera staring at it.

"On what? No food, No fuel, it's a hundred miles" Andrea said.

"125, I checked the map" Glenn said.

"Forget Fort Benning we need answer tonight!" Lori said I heard a someone cock their gun. Austin was standing beside me aiming his gun ready to fire at the dead, must of been him.

"We'll think of something" Rick said

"Come on let's go, let's go" Shane said beginning the gather everyone to leave. I was still staring at the camera, when suddenly it moved.

"The camera. It moved!" Rick said.

"It did I saw it" I said, we were both still holding onto hope.

"You imagined it" Dale said.

"It moved." Rick and I said in union. Rick stepped closer looking at the lens.

"Rick it's dead man, it's an automated device, man it's-it's gears they're winding down. Now come on" Shane said grabbing at Rick's arm.
