Daryl POV

I looked behind me because I heard gasping. It was Layla. She was leaning up against a tree fighting for air.

"Layla?" I asked concerned. I ran over to her and bent down to see her face. It was milky white pale. I placed my hands on a shoulder each of hers trying to get her to speak to me.

"Layla? What's going on? Are you ok?" I concerned as I inspected her all over. Was she hurt? As I looked into her eyes I saw them begin to roll back into their sockets. The whites of her eyes turning red and bloodshot.

"Layla? What's going on?" I could hear my voice shaking with worry. Her almost completely white eyes staring into mine like she could hear me, but couldn't answer.

"Layla? Please! Answer me! Layla?" I raised my voice before I watched her eyes flicker shut. Suddenly, I heard a twig snap behind me. I quickly turned my head behind me and saw the girl I had knocked out trying to sneak past us, holding her shoulder that I had pierced with the arrow when I shot her. I turned my attention back to Layla for a split second only to see the boy I have knocked out behind her! He had a rock in his hands, high above his head. He smashed it down, hitting Layla on the back of the head, knocking her out for sure. He tried to grab her after dropping the rock but as he did, I pulled her in close, knocking me off my balance.

I was now sitting on the floor with Layla practically on my lap, unconscious with whom I assumed was Rob pointing a gun at me!

"Calm it. We ain't gonna hurt either of you." Announced Rob gesturing to the girl who I though was Lacey. She was still keeping her distance.

"What the hell?! You hit her over the head with a rock! I'm sure that bloody hurt her!" I argued raising my voice. I had my one arm around her neck with my hand on her head where she had been hit. My other hand reaching for my knife. He frowned at the comment but shrugged and carried on.

"Look, I'm sorry about your girl. It was necessary really. So let me rephrase myself. No one is gonna hurt either of you, from now on, unless you cause a fuss up." He smirked, the gun still pointed at my head. I just sat silently, death staring him.

(a/n) Rob does not represent Dwight (who is holding the gun in the picture above) Rob, Lacey and Jae are completely different characters I made up, the picture is just relevant to the chapter xxxx
