Will He Fall?

Chapter 4

Georgia's POV

I woke up alone. Daryl was most likely out hunting or what ever he does out there. It was strange how he knew how to act in a world like this. He could track, use weapons, shit like that. I had to learn on the run. I know the basics of hunting and I'm not too bad with a gun or knife.

I got up and went into the kitchen seeing a half eaten squirrel, Daryl's breakfast. There was no way in hell I was eating that. I found an old bag of fruit loops and started eating them.

After that I decided to look around the house, maybe there would be something useful. I found a hiking rucksack upstairs and started putting a few shirts in there, some wire and other crap. I went into the bathroom and opened the cabinets to find some painkillers. I took one to block out my stomach. I took the bag down stairs and sat down for a bit, reading a book.

I could hear a voice coming from outside. I crawled into the kitchen to see who it was. I couldn't see anyone. It's Daryl I said to myself. I saw a shadow near the door. Great he's back, now things can get awkward like they always do.

But wait. There was a few other men with him. Could he have found another group? They slowly opened the door. "Daryl quit messin' around." A couple of men rushed inside, all pointing guns at me. "Sorry sweetie, your boyfriend isn't here"

Daryl's POV

Damn walkers. They always scare off the squirrels. I found a deer but it had already been attacked by a walker. Shit. It started to get a bit dark. I could stay out and hunt some more, nah I need some rest. I started heading back towards the house. I was about an hour away so I'd be back just after it went dark.

I took out a few walkers on the way. Something seemed different though. There was a fresh walker just outside the house we were staying out. What the hell is she doing outside. I told her to stay put. She's gonna get herself killed. I went around the back. There was a light on inside. She might be a dumb bitch but she isn't stupid enough to keep a light on when it gets dark. Something isn't right. "Georgia" I whispered. I sae some shadows move. "Hey Bill, did ya hear that?" Who are these guys? "Yeah, go take a look around the back?" I pointed my crossbow at the door waiting to kill this sun of a bitch.

I felt a breeze to my back and a cold trigger to my neck. "Now hold up there fella, you betta but down your weapon before someone gets hurt." I shrugged him off and pointed my crossbow at him. "Shut yer mouth" He held his hands up. "Hey we could use a man like you. Just put it down. We got us some spice in there, c'mon" He walked around me and back into the house. I slowly followed.

"Billy, found us a new guy, could be pretty useful." He opened the door and made me walk in. There were four men sat on the couch all staring at me. "Hmm I don't know Kyle, we just picked someone up today." He looked my up and down. "Yeah but that fine piece of ass won't last two minutes after I'm done fucking her ." I still held my crossbow up. "Ok Kyle, go see what she's doing. I guess you can tag along, I'm Billy, what's your name?" He extended his hand out to me. "Daryl" I left him hanging. "Ok then Daryl. Make yourself at home."

I followed this Kyle guy into the other room where there was someone tied up with a bag over their head. "Who's that?" I pointed to the person. "Just some chick we found, a youn one too, she'll come in handy tonight." He lifted the bag off her head. It was Georgia. Shit. She just stared into my eyes. She looked lost, hopeless and broken. Her left cheek was swolen and had a shallow cut on it. Her eyes were red and puffy, she'd been crying.

Kyle went up to her and touched her cheek with the back of his hand. She flinched away. He laughed. "C'mon babe, don't be like that." I just stood there not knowing what to do while she looked deep into my eyes pleading for me to help her. His hand went to her inner thigh and she closed her eyes tight. I raised my crossbow. "Get away from er" He pulled back. "There's no need to be like that, you can have her anyway. Just don't make too much noise." I shook my head. "Let er go" he stood up in front of me. "Now why would I do that. Hey Billy, I think this guy could be her boyfriend, the one she called out for" The rest of the men came in. "Is this true Daryl. Is she your woman?"
