I And Love And You

Chapter 18

Beth's P.O.V

I walked around the prison for a little. Just to get used to the place. I was walking down a hallway when I found a library. I love reading. It always helped me pass the time. When I didn't wanna do anything, i just opened up a book and read. I started to go through the shelfs when I found something. I almost started to laugh. I found the book Alice in Wonderland. "Oh my gosh." I whispered. I found a couch and started to read it. About halfway through the fifth chapter I heard something creak. You know when you move into a new house and everything is different, the first night you stay there you think you hear or see something. That's how I'm feeling right now. I reached for my knife but it wasn't there. Damn it. I left it back at my cell. I heard footsteps. I quietly ran to hide behind a shelf and raised my book high over my head. The person was getting closer. Someone was in here. It wasn't my imagination. They were nearing where I was then I quickly swung my book and made contact with a face. "GODDAMNIT!" Someone yelled. It was Daryl. Great. "Oh my gosh! I am so sorry!" I yelled. "You should be!" He yelled holding his forehead. "Let me see it." I whispered. He slowly removed his hand and I could tell it was gonna bruise. "What the fuck did you hit me with. Moby Dick!" He yelled again. "Actually it was Alice in Wonderland." I giggled. He looked over at me. "So you actually found it?" He said getting up. "Yeah, now you need to read it Mr.Dixon." "I will when I know everyone is safe." He mumbled. "Daryl. We are safe for now. You need to actually..." "Actually what?" "Oh I don't know LIVE! It isn't all about survival now that we have this place. We, can live." He was quiet for a little bit. Please don't yell at me, I don't wanna scream back at you. I thought. He looked up at me. "Give me the damn book." He mumbled. I smiled and handed it to him then he was off.
