A Dixon Sister?

Chapter 17

Daryl POV

I road on the motorbike with Emma gripping onto me..... She was probably asleep. We carried on riding until someone honked their horn. Emma quickly woke up as we slowed down.

"What's going on". She asked yawning.

"Someone's run out of fuel I'm guessing". I pulled up the bike on the side of the road and we both got off. Emma stretched and rubbed her good eye. I still had no idea what had happened.

"You all out". Herschel asked Rick as they both got out of there car.

Rick slammed the car door in anger. "We're running on fumes". He sighed.

"We can't stay here". Maggie said.

"We can't all fit in one car". Glenn stated the obvious.

"We'll make a run for gas in the morning". Rick said.

"Spend the night here". Carol asked cautiously.

"I'm freezing". Carl moaned.

"We'll make a fire", Lori confirmed as Rick took of his jacket and gave it to Carl.

"I'll go looking for fire wood". Emma said.

"Wait I'll come with..... Rick stay close..... I only got so many arrows how you doing on ammo". I asked as i pulled my crossbow from the bike.

"Not enough". Rick answered and started pacing around.

"Well we can't just sit here with our asses hanging out". Maggie spoke up.

"Maggie watch you mouth..... Everyone stop panicking and listen to Rick". Herschel told everyone.

"Right so we set up a perimeter. We search for Gas and supplies in the morning and then we keep pushing on". Rick ordered.

"Glenn and I could go and scrounge up some gas". Maggie questioned.

"No we stay together we don't want anyone the end up getting stranded without a car". Rick said.

"Rick no offence or anything but we're stranded now". Emma spoke with a bit of an annoyed tone.

"I know it looks bad and we've been through hell and worse. But at least we found each other. I wasn't sure I really wasn't but we did. We're together lets keep it that way...... we'll find shelter somewhere...there's got to be a place". Rick looked around. He was being put under a lot of pressure and I don't think any one really noticed.

"Rick look around there's walkers everywhere.... there migrating or something". Emma spoke. She was definitely getting annoyed. I went and stood by her. She looked a bit more relaxed.

"There's gotta be a place... Not just where we hold up but were we fortify, hunker down, pull our selves together, build a life for each other. i know its out there we just have to find it". Rick raised his voice,

"Even if we do find a place that's safe...... we can never really know for how long..... look what happened at the farm. We fooled ourselves into thinking that that was safe". Maggie spoke in a calming tone.

"We won't make that mistake again". Herschel sighed. I felt sorry for him... He had lost his home to those things and he was still holding it together. I would be shouting and hitting things if it was me.

"We'll make camp over there tonight". Rick nodded to what was left of a house. "We'll get on the road at the break of day". everyone looked over to see what he was talking about.

"Daryl... Does this look right to you". Carol asked clinging onto Sophia.

"What if a herd of walkers walk through or another group like Randall's". Beth asked.
