Glaggie-What Is Home

Ch. 4 Nightmares

Glenn's POV

Dark soon falls, and a full moon peaks out from behind the clouds. Maggie leans against my shoulder tiredly, most everyone sits around the fire. There of course are the few that sleep in the trailer already who had retreated to sleep. Abraham is sharing a war story, something about a camel. Carl lies on his side beside the fire, plucking meat off a bone and eating it. Rick holds sleeping Judith, sitting across from us. Jessie had retreated to the trailer and is sleeping with Sam in her lap. Enid sits next to Carl with her knee propped up, eating meat. Ron lies over in the grass, messing with a knife. Terra and Rosita sit with Eugene listening to Abraham. Rosita interrupts Abraham and says "we've heard this story a hundred times Abraham."
"Maggie." I ask looking down at her. She glances up at me and says "yeah?" I say "you should sleep hon." She nods knowingly and says "I know. About to" I kiss her forehead and continue to listen to Abrahams absurd story. I listen to her soft breathing and wrap a arm around her protectively, and she falls asleep. I smile to myself and then as Abraham finishes his story, Rosita says "please someone else go already. Before this bastard thinks of something else" she looks to me and says "you. Glenn. go. Tell us something we haven't heard" I shake my head with a small chuckle and say "no. No. I have nothing to say" Abraham says "looks like your stuck with me" and starts a new one.

Maggie POV

As I fall asleep, nothing happens. Nothing but a mindless pit, but soon that black space turned into living hell.
*30 minutes later*
I lie on a table, not able to move. I am chained, the metal under my back is cold, only to realize I am naked besides the towel that lie over my body. I try to struggle and stand up but can't even move my head. Then I hear the groans of the dead. And I blink.
I was now able to move but caged, and saw Glenn and Nicholas in a cage across from her. She called 'Glenn!' He looked up at her with a sad look and the groans of the dead grew louder as they started to surround his cage. She screamed trying to get there attention, banging on the bars with her fist. It didn't do anything, and Nicholas tried to get to the center but his shirt got caught by a walker which pulled him back and started to tear at him. Suddenly, the cage was covered by walkers yet she could still see exactly what was going on. I stared in horror and yell 'no no no Glenn!!' He gets caught and pulled back. A walker rips at his face and she screams sliding down the edge of the bars with her hand reached out 'no!' I started to sob violently 'no please god no'

I suddenly wake with a jerk in my body and sit up almost knocking Glenn over who looked to be dozing off. "Maggie? What's wrong?" He asks worriedly. I feel my hands shaking and grip one in the other tightly. I felt the off silence and realize everyone's eyes were on me. "N-nothing's wrong I'm fine" i say looking around. "You screamed" he says pulling her face back to look at him. "Please you need to tell me" I felt my face grow red as people continued to stare and say "I, I um. I'll be right back" I pull myself from his hold and walk into the woods.

Glenn's POV

Most everyone at the camp watched her as she walked off and I stand up following after her "Maggie?" I hear Abraham mumble "relationships" I ignore him following her into the woods where she went to a small river and stopped. "Hey what's wrong hon?" I ask. She stood at the edge of the river staring down, and breaks down crying. I move towards her "Maggie?" I crouch down beside her and pull her close "nightmare again?" She shakes her head slightly and says "I-I'm sorry for being so emotional it's so stupid to cry over but it felt so real Glenn" she cries into my shoulder and I say "it's not stupid" I run my hand down her hair and she says "i couldn't take it with everyone staring like that...its embarrassing and they don't understand..." I kiss the side of her head "I'm pretty sure they understand what nightmares are" she shakes her head pulling back and says "no I mean the other thing" I smile gently and say "maggie...there's a million other things. Your going to have to be more specific" she looks down folding her hands across the small bump that was there. "They don't get why I'm acting like this..." I nod understanding and say "it wasn't embarrassing. I promise. You just screamed a little and jerked upright. I thought something was happening that shouldn't" she leans against me and I wrap her in a embrace and she rests her head on my shoulder. "Ready to head back?" I ask kissing her cheek. She wraps her arms around my neck and says "can we stay here for a bit longer...I just want to gather myself" I nod gently and say "of course" we sit there for another 30 minutes or so and then she leans back and stands up. "Alright I'm good" I smile and stand up "are you hungry?" She shakes her head and says "no." I sigh a bit worried and say "oh um. Alright..." She looks at me and immediately detects that there's something wrong. "What's wrong?" She asks stepping in front of me as we walked towards camp. She stopped us and I say "just worried about you. And him/her" putting my hands on her stomach gently for the first time. Maggie smiles and looks down
