burning love

Chapter ten- CDC

-Bella's POV:

We all silently went to our tents. I walked to my tent before mom and Sofia came. The scene before me was horrifying. My dad laid on the ground with dead surrounding him. I heard a growl coming from him. "See you in hell." I said before I shot him in the head. Everybody came running over Mom saw the scene and started to cry. Sofia sat their with a cold look in her eyes her face emotionless. "How could you. I loved him. You sorry son of a bitch. I should have just let him keep you in the box you would be dead and I wouldn't have to look at." My mom said each of her words dripping with venom. "I HATE YOU!!!" She screamed at me. She charged at me. Her fist were balled. Daryl grabbed her in a tight grip before she could do something. I walked up to her. "You only loved him when he filled your pleasures needs, you whore." I spat in her face. "Bastard got what he deserve." I said "you weep what you sow." I walked away and went into the RV and grabbed a blanket a pillow and a lantern. I grabbed my bow and walked to the woods. I walked not far but far away from the group. I came to a good looking tree and climbed up it. I put the pillow behind my back and covered up with the blanket. I tied myself to the tree to keep from falling. I hung the lantern on a branch above me. I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep.

-Dream

The camp just got attacked as I came back from a run. I was killing anything that wasn't living. I saw somebody laying on the ground. They person walked towards me with a limp. They had a huge object in their hands. The person got closer and I could hear it growling with hunger. It wasn't a person, it was a walker. I ripped the hood off the hood walker so I could get a better aim at the person's head. I looked up to see Daryl. We weren't killing walkers anymore instead we were in a nice room and he was leaning into kiss me. I leaned in a closed my eyes. I waited for the kiss that never came. I opened my eyes thinking maybe Daryl was teasing me, but when I opened them he was a walker again. Before I could react he bit me. I screamed in agony.

-End of dreams

Jumped up in a cold sweat. I was still shaken up about my dream. I felt so real. I will do everything in my power to keep this group safe. Even if that means leaving. I looked down at my watch and saw that it was 5:45 AM. I untied myself from the tree. I jumped down and and folded my blanket twice I rolled my lantern and pillow in my blanket and put the rope through the middle of the roll and tied it to my belt loops on my jeans. I grabbed my bow and started walk through the woods back to camp. I decided to take the scenic route back, and hunt. I caught about three squirrels and two rabbits before I saw a figure walking back to me. I set my stuff behind the tree and climbed up it. The figure stopped right below my tree and looked through my stuff. I took my chance and jumped down on top of the figure. I pushed the to the ground and had my bow drawled back in their face about to shoot till I saw it was Daryl.

-Daryl's POV

I woke up at shortly after six, deciding that before anything important happened today I'd go hunting for some food, hopefully bring back a deer. As I started to walk to the woods I was stopped by Rick. "Hey Daryl can you do me a favor?" "I ain't no earn boy."I spat back. "Fine, I guess we can leave Bella behind, she can try to survive by herself. You think she is tough enough?" This really got my attention. "Fine what do you want?" I asked signing in defeat. "Can you go out in the woods and see if you find her. I don't know where she went, but if she's not far I'd like her to come back." "Sure I was going hunting anyways." Rick smirked knowingly. I stocked off to the woods in search of food and Bella. I walked a little ways before I came across a roll of stuff. I stopped to examine it. It was the stuff Bella grabbed last night before she left. Panic started to rise in me I looked around frantically, not seeing anything. Their was rustling in the tree above. Just as I started to look up Something dropped on me. It shoved me forcefully to the ground. I looked up the sights of Bella's bow. She was breathing heavy and had three squirrels and two rabbits on her shoulder. She was about to release the arrow when she relaxed and pulled back her string slowly as realization dawned on her. She reached her hand out to me and I grabbed her arm she helped me up. For such a small fragile girl she sure was strong. "Sorry." She mumbled "It's alight." I said I handed her the roll she had. "That's quiet a bite of meat you have their." I said trying to start conversation. I started to rub my neck and shoulder from where she fell on me. She looked up and saw me doing this. She sat down her roll and bow. She walked up behind me and grabbed my arm. I instantly tensed up. "It's okay relaxed." She whispered in my ear, sending chills down my body. I relaxed after a while. She started to rub my neck and shoulder. I felt so relaxed in that moment. I gently grabbed her hand sending sparks wherever her skin touched. I slowly turned around. I started to lean in. I kept looking between her eyes and lips. She looked up down with tears brimming her eyes. What did I do? Did I do something? Did I hurt her? She looked back up at me with regret and guilt. She looked distance as if she was remembering something painful. I slowly backed away and once again handed her the roll and her bow. We started walking back to camp in silence. When we got back to camp Glenn was freaking out because T-dog put one of our people in the burn pile. Me and Bella Immediately started helping. Bella walked over to where Carol was with an Axe. Carol was crying hard, every time Carol brought the axe up she couldn't bring it down. Bella walked up to Carol and took the axe down. "You stupid." Axe to the face, "Sum of bitch." Axe to the face. "I hope." Axe to the face. "you rott." Axe to face. " In hell." She brought the axe down again. With each blow to the face Carol cried harder. Bella had a crowd by now. T-dog was holding Carol. Bella started to cry. She dropped the axe and started to kick the walker repeatedly. I walked over to her and grabbed her from behind. She was fighting against me. I dragged her to the back of the RV away from everyone. We sat down on the ground me holding her. She finally quite fighting. "Are you okay now." I asked loosening my grip. She nodded her head curtly. She got up and looked at me with an emotionless face and a cold stare. She's broken. Instead of helping me like she usually does she just walks away. She walked up to Carol. "I did what had to be done being weak in this world gets you nowhere she spat." She walked off. I quickly followed her. "What the hell was that?" I asked mad. "Last time I checked I don't have to answer to you or anybody. Being weak makes you vulnerable. It almost gets you rapped like me. Some guy like Shane, a pig, could take advantage of her." She spat at me. "That doesn't----" I was cut off by T-dog. "Guys, Rick would like to see us all." He said awkwardly and walked away. We followed behind T-dog. "Alright everybody since it's obviously not safe her we need to move on. We are going to the CDC to see if anybody's their or not and if they can give us some answers." Rick stated. "We leave at first light everybody." I finally realized that it was dark. I went to my tent and quickly fell asleep.

-Bella's POV:

"I will take first watch." I told Rick he nodded his head and went to him and his families tent. I climbed top the RV and sat in Dale's lawn chair. It was eleven o'clock, so that means some one will come to relieve me at two. I sat on the RV thinking about life before the world went to shit.

-Two in the morning:

Daryl came up the ladder to relieve me.  I got up from the chair and sat beside it letting him sit down."I think I want to leave." I stated bluntly. "What do you mean leave." He asked looking at me suspiciously. "I mean leave camp try to make it on my own. I have no reason to stay no that Ed's gone and all." I explained. "What do mean now that Ed's gone and all?" He asked yet again."I only stayed out of fear that I wouldn't make it far and that he would have found me." I said looking up at the sky. I could feel him staring at me as if I was a puzzle. "I have nothing to stay for." I said yet again. "You have Sofia and your mom." He said trying to convince me. "If I leave it will only be easier on Sofia, she wouldn't have to see me die. My mom has already said she hates me. I don't know what to do. All I can think to do is leave and try to survive or just end 'it'." I said boldly. "You can't just leave." Daryl said. I got off the RV and grabbed my bow and some rope. I walked to the woods. "What do you think you're doing." Daryl said worry thick in his voice. "Don't worry Dixon, I won't do it now." I walked to the edge of the woods were Daryl could still see me and climbed a tree and tied myself to it and quickly fell asleep.

-The next day:

I got up bright and early and packed up my things and waited for Rick to say it's time to go. "Who do you want me to ride with." I asked Rick. Shane walked over and I could see Daryl watching from the RV. "She could ride with me." Shane offered."No thanks, I'd rather be eaten by the walkers." I said slightly annoyed. "I will ride with Daryl." I said. I threw m,y bags in the back of his pick up. "Come on Dixon, quite changing your make-up and get here they're about to leave." I yelled causing everyone to laugh. Daryl came mumbling something. We jumped in the truck and started on our journey.
