The Walking Love Story (The Walking Dead fanfic)

Chapter 4: The Herd

The next morning I woke up to the sound of Daryl's voice he was gently shaking me back and fourth tell me to wake up. I slowly sat up and raised my arms in the air to stretch and left out a tiny moan that signaled my good night sleep. This caused Daryl to smile and chuckle a little bit.

"Come on get dressed Rick is wanting to talk to all of us". Daryl said

"Okay be out in a few okay". I told him

"Okay see ya in a few". Daryl said before leaving the tent

I got dressed into a new pair of blue jeans that had holes up toward my front pockets and then on my right knee, with a baby blue half sleeve shirt that tied above my belly button. Which left my sterling silver diamond belly button ring shine in the sunlight. I then slipped my brown belt through my belt loops and attached my one pistols holster to my side and the other to my leg. It was to hot to wear my black jacket so I left it on my sleeping bag. Before I headed outside I put both my pistols in the holsters and then put my one buck knife in my front pocket. And I know it may seem weird to keep a watch on you now since the world is gone and nobody really has a schedule or anywhere they need to be since the walkers took over. But I like to be able to know what time it is it makes me feel less um I don't know like the world has went to hell and is still a little normal. After slipping the watch over my wrist I walked out side my tent and zipped up the front of it. I then turned and walked toward the front porch of the house. I opened the old creaky screen door and walked inside the front room of the old farm house. Turning to my right I walked through a small room that held a large china chest which held a set of beautiful dinner plates and glasses. I then walked through the door way which lead to the living room where everyone was sitting.

"Okay good your here". I heard Rick say

"Hey Riley come here I saved you a seat". Daryl told me as I walked over to him

"Okay as you all know we are running out if supplies and I think we need to send a small group on a run. Does anyone wanna volunteer to go? I would offer to go but I'm gonna do some things around here. I thought about sending two groups out because some of the supplies we need is in different locations. So who wants to go?" Rick told us all

"I'll go" Daryl said

"Wait um I told you I would pull my own weight so I'll go with Daryl". I told Rick

"Great that's good". Rick said

"Hey Riley and I could go by ourselves just us two that way we can find some other stuff". Daryl said

"That's a good idea." Rick said "You two can both go and look for anything you think we can use you guys can head out now if you like."

"Okay well take the black Chevy Silverado be back in a few days". Daryl said walking out to the truck with me it was the truck I had when I found Daryl so both of our weapons were inside the truck laying in the back seat.

"So where do you think we should go and look first?" I asked Daryl

"Um I think there is a small town nearby. We could check there." Daryl said

"Okay then sounds good I said making a right at the stop sign." I said

We drove for maybe a half and then arrived at the small town which was called Debriefton. It was small and looked pretty remote so we shouldn't be bothered to much by walkers. I then parked the truck and we hopped out and grabbed our weapons.

"Okay I think we should split up". I told Daryl

"NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! I'm not letting you out of my sight I care about you to mu......" Daryl said "My point is no were not splitting up okay."
