burning love

Chapter 6- The run

-Bella's POV:

           I lead Daryl through the camp and past dad. As I walked past dad grabbed my wrist. "That redneck trash won't be here forever to save your weak ass." Dad warned. Daryl grabbed his hand removing it from my wrist. "No, but while I'm here, I will make sure you don't touch her." Daryl said, each word dripping with venom. We finished walking to my tent. I pat the spot in front of me signaling it was OK for him to sit down. Daryl sat down in front of me Indian style. I reached into my first aid kit and grabbed some alcohol pads. With my other hand I grabbed his hand in my, he flinched when I did. He relaxed a little bit after a few seconds. I gently dabbed his bloody knuckles gently. After that I took out a ace bandage and wrapped his knuckles and did the same to his left hand. I looked up at his face for the first time since we meet. I took in his beautiful features. He had killer gorgeous blue eyes that would light up the sky. He had nice dimples and a nice pink plum lips. I looked in his eyes and they locked. I opened my mouth to say something, but couldn't because I was so mesmerized. I looked away finally and grabbed another alcohol pad. I grabbed his chin and moved his head were I wanted it. I started to gently dab at his cheek. He suddenly grabbed my wrist. I gasped out of fear. "Sorry." He says. He slowly and gently let's go. I go back to my work and in five minutes I'm done. I put my first aid up and offer Daryl a hand which he hesitantly takes, but then I help him up. We walked out Shane and  Merle still talking over the map. "So who are you taking with you?" Shane ask. "How about the black guy he looks like he could pull some weight, the Asian, the pretty older blonde, and Bella." Merle say pointing lastly at me. "So the black guys T-dog, The Korean is Glenn, and the blonde is Andrea and Bella." Shane explains. "OK, you guys will be going on foot you leave in twenty minutes." Shane instructed

- Twenty minutes later

             "OK, remember to get vehicles and any supplies." Shane reminded us. We started walking down the hill. We arrived at the city of Atlanta in one and a half hours later. Glenn took us to the department store and we went through the ally we were on the roof when we heard a commotion in the streets. Glenn looked through the binoculars and mumbled dumb ass. Glenn looked through the binoculars and waited till the man was in the tank. "Hey. Hey you. Dumb ass in the tank." Glenn said into the radio. "Yeah?" a raspy voice said through the other side. Glenn explained to the man how he was going to get out alive. "So who's going to get dumb ass?" Glenn asked. "I will." I volunteered. Glenn looked hesitant, "Oh alright fine." We walked down stairs and and I walked out into the ally a few streets down. The man came around the corner gun raised. "Don't shoot! Come on let's go!" I shouted. When ran down the streets and stopped at a fire escape ladder we raced up we got to the fist platform. We looked up."At least, it'll be the fall that kills you." I said then started climbing up. When we got up to the top of the building, we ran across it down some stairs to our ally. We went in side only for Andrea to put her gun in his face and scream at him. "Lay off, Andrea."Glenn shouted. We all settled down when we heard Merle popping rounds off on the roof. We ran up the stairs. Rick tried to disarm  him only to have the butt of the gun connect with his jaw. Merle started to punch T-dog in the face. "Merle knock it off. Please. Stop." I scream at him to stop. Rick comes up behind him and knocks him out with the gun. Rick cuffs him to a steel pipe on the roof and gets in Merle's face "There's a new person in charge, its called me officer friendly." Rick says angrily. We follow Rick to the other end of the roof away from Merle. "So whats the plan officer friendly?" Glenn ask Rick. "Call me Rick. Its up to you, you look like the one in charge." Rick says shaking Glenn's hand. " While I don't know what to do." Glenn says putting his head down. "Rick and Andrea, you guys watch the doors in the department store, they look like they could any minute. T-dog you stay up here with Merle. Glenn follow me." I say, taking charge. Andrea, Glenn, Rick and I walk down the two flights of metal stairs. Andrea and Rick go to the department store,  while me and Glenn go in the back room. "So what are we doing back here?" Glenn ask. "See that hole?" I ask pointing right in front of us. "Yeah." Glenn says. "Well that's the sewage system i'm going done their and i'm going to see if their is a way out of this store." I jump down in the hole with Glenn behind me. We walk as far as possible before their is a gate in front of us. "Well, shit. There went that plan." I sigh. We had back up to the roof with Andrea and Rick. "So, the walkers have already broke through one set of glass doors, it won't be much longer till the second set break." Andrea says giving us her full report. " I have an idea!" Glenn shouts.  We walk over there to him. He is standing there pointing out in the air like an idiot. "What?" I asked confused. "OK so here the plan. Bella and I will go in the ally and get one walker. Bring it back inside, then cut it up. " I can't help, but make a disgusted face. "Put some gear on us and then rub walker guts on us, then we can drag some weapons with us too. Make our way to those vans and steal one." Glenn says all finished and excited. "Why the guts?" I ask. "Because walkers are attracted to smell of living human flesh, we will smell like one of them." Rick explains. Rick tosses T-dog the key and tells him to be ready when we get back. The rest of us rush downstairs and grab a walker from the ally. Rick starts to cut it up when he stops and says the guys name and age. "He had twenty dollars in his pocket when he died." Rick says the cuts him up. Glenn and I suit up. We stand with our hands and legs spread while Andrea and Rick spread guts on us. We walk out onto the streets covered in guts. We are almost their when it starts to rain. Glenn and I run faster killing zombies as we go. We get to the fence and jump over it. We get the keys to a van an hop in. We drive around the block till we find a red sports car we sound the alarm and Glenn distracts the walkers while I return. We load up and Glenn is way a head of us hooting and hollering. I look back and realize that we don't have Merle. "Where's Merle?" I ask. Everyone looks to T-dog. "I dropped the key." He says. "Couldn't you have picked it up?" I asked him or irritated. "I dropped it down the drain." He replied quietly. well shit what are we going to tell the other Dixon.
