Holding On {Daryl Dixon}

Nightmares

Chapter 8- Nightmares

I keep running, I had to. These damn walkers are everywhere. I ran out of arrows and my knife is lodged into one the walkers head.

"RoseAnn!" Daryl's pained voice flooded my ears. I stopped and looked back, there was Daryl on the highway road trying to kick away the walkers that were at his feet trying to bite his legs. I grabbed one of the pipes that were lying on the ground and tried to fight off the walker but it was too late Daryl was bitten there was no saving him. I stabbed the last walker in the head with the pipe and fell to the ground.

I sat on my knees and put Daryl's head on my lap and held his hands. I started to cry.

"Don't cry, beautiful, I'll be okay." He said weakly. Shook my head tears falling from my face and onto his chest.

"I just need to rest my eyes....I'll always love you RoseAnn." He said so weakly I could barely understand him.

"No, please. Please don't die. Please? no!" I was crying holding onto his dead body. Crying.

"Ro? please wake up beautiful." I heard a voice I looked around. Who could that be?

"Beautiful, please wake up. It's just a dream." Daryl's voice told me. Daryl's? It was just a dream! my eyes snapped opened. I was on Daryl's chest on my side. I looked around it was still dark out then I looked up to Daryl worry written all over his face.

"Are you okay? you were scremin' and I was thinking you wer-" I cut him off by kissing him on the lips passingly.

"It was just a nightmare. You're alive and it's okay." I told him softly. He looked at me and kissed my forehead and then put his head on my breast and held me close by gripping my waist as I put my hands through his dirty blonde hair and fell asleep once again.

*Carl's point of view*

I sat awake, it had to be around 2,3 o'clock in the morning. Kyla started moving alittle in her sleep I watched her. I had a crush on her when we were in school. I never would have imagined her holding onto my shirt lightly almost like she's afraid to let go.

"Nfkago" Kyla mumbled in her sleep.

I light out a little laugh. Her forehead then scrunched up lightly and she started kicking. She's going to hurt her ankle worse if I don't wake her.

"Kyla? wake up. You're having a nightmare." I told her into her ear, shaking her lightly. She started to cry softly and quietly, this made my heart break.

"Kyla. Open your eyes it's just a dream." I told her a bit louder.

Kyla's eyes suddenly snapped open and she gasped and sat up. She looked around, then at me. She hugged me tightly. Crying softly into my shoulder.

"It's okay, I'm here. nothing will happen to you. I promise." I told her quietly, while rubbing circles into her lower back.

"Thank you Carl." She thanked me quietly her voice shaky.

"Anything for you. Now let's go back to sleep." Kyla nodded and laid back down. She fell back asleep quickly and nuzzled her head into my shoulder. I sighed she needs to know my feelings about her and soon. I fell into a dreamless sleep like most nights.
