Love is Blindness- A Bethyl Story

Chapter 4

I wake up on the floor of the barn. As i pan around the room i see that everyone must have been thrown of something after the huge lightening strike. They are all scattered and asleep and i am the only one awake. Hesitant to look outside i inch my way toward the barn door. Something must've stopped the walkers from getting in and if it wasent us then what was it? When i look outside i see a lot of trees strewn across the woods and hear the groaning of walkers.  See this right here was a miracle. The storm saved us from being served at the dinner table.

"kmmhmm" I turn around to spot Daryl staring at me. Trying to be quiet i whisper," Sorry i didnt mean to wake you..... I just uh was curious." "Nah your fine i was awake anyway." "Do you think we should go out and kill em so they dont bring more?"  "yea sounds good you comin with?" I nod and grab my knife.

Most of the walkers are impaled by the fallen trees others are just walking around enjoying the sun. Most would call it the calm after the storm. We walk around looking for the walkers that got stuck first and after them we go for the ones near the barn that are just walking around. "Hey maybe we should clear the trees a little, make it easier for us to get out when we leave." Daryl says. To the sound of his words i start heading for a medium size tree to move. "Hey dont strain yourself ill handle the bigger ones." "I think i got this one its not too big." It only takes us about 30 minutes to clear the area so we just sit outside and enjoy the view. 

I hear light footsteps approaching us. "You want me to take care of it?" I say. Daryl just keeps looking up at the trees so i follow the noise. "Hi im Aaron i was just wondering if i could talk to your leader? Rick right?"The guy named Aaron walks closer with his hands above his head. "H-How did you know his name or than i was with anyone?" "I have a place not too far from here its safe. No roamers we have walls, a doctor, food, theres even kids there." "you didnt answer my question." In this moment i start feeling scared. i dont know who this man is he could be lying but then again he could be trying to help. I guess Daryl heard the commotion because he starts walking toward us. As soon as he notices in not alone he lifts his gun and i see anger in his eyes.

"Who the h**l are you?" "im sorry im Aaron. Are you Rick? I have a community that has walls around it you guys could find refuge there." Daryl looks back at me as if to see if i beleive the guy. A part of me wants to but we have run into so many people trying to either use us or hurt us.  "Daryl lets just take him to Rick im sure we can figure out a way to know if hes telling the truth maybe he is." I can tell Daryl doesnt want to out of safety for our people but it seemed as if he couldnt tell me no. "Alright come on. mind if i search?" He says referencing to the bag. "No perfectly fine go ahead but i have to warn you the knife and gun are for the roamers and the flare gun is to communicate with my community. Scott and i both go out and look for people to help and bring them back." Daryl just nods and searches the bag not finding anything else of harm. He puts Aarons bag over his shoulder, takes hold of Aaron, and we walk back to the barn.
