Can Skylar survive the challenges that come along with the new post-apocalyptic world? Or will it break her to a point of no return? Even though she might have family and friends that she would die for and who keep her company, can she handle the pr...
It hurts, seeing the people I once called family giving me nasty and hurtful glances. I look down and then at Dallas who is smiling brightly. "Well, here we go again." I mumble under my breath and give Dallas a kiss on his forehead. "Mom-my?" He can barely say the word which is just too adorable, so I reply with, "Yes Dallas?" I ask softly. He then points to the left and I spot a huge tiger that happens to be drinking from the pond nearby, but he's attached to a chain that a dark skin man is holding. I smile and point with Dallas, making him giggle, causing my heart to melt. As I keep walking deeper through the comunity and crowd of people I finally get to my old house. I walk in and find a new couple and what looks like a ten year old child living in the new house with their dog. "Oh...I'm sorry." I say after walking in without knocking. "Who are you and why are you barging into my house?" The woman asks. "I'm Skye, and I was just checking to see if my old house was still here." I say almost losing my temper because of the tone she was having with me. But to be fair I did leave so I shouldn't be like this. "Bye." I leave before I blow up, and walk over to the tiger because Dallas kept trying to ask with the cute baby voice he has. I tap the man's shoulder and when he turns around I can't not notice that he's attractive. "Uhm...My son Dallas would like to play with your tiger." I say sweetly, looking down at the orange and black furry animal. "I'm King Ezekiel. This is Shiva, and yes he may." He smiles and looks at Dallas. King Ezekiel? I wondered why he would call himself that as I placed Dallas on the floor and watched as the friendly tiger licked his face. I smiled. "Is he really yours?" Ezekiel asks. "No, found him today. Had to adopt him because his mother died right in front of me and the poor boy." I explain, getting a nod from the dark man. I notice Dallas yawning after a couple minutes of chatting with Ezekiel and Dallas playing with Shiva, so I pet the tiger and scoop Dallas up in my arms and say goodbye to them both. I wave and soon am walking to Rick's house. I knock a few times with my free hand since my arm is holding up the sleepy child. "Hey Skylar. Need something?" He says kindly. "Yeah, do you have anywhere I could stay? Since y'know my old house is taken?" I say with a bit of annoyance and fatigue. I was too tired to argue so I just went upstairs and looked in each room until I found a nursery and thankfully a bed that I can sleep in. After I changed Dallas' clothes and diaper, I tucked him in and planted a kiss on his forehead. "Goodnight son." I say in a motherly warm way. I find a dresser with some clothes and change, and after climb into the small yet combfy bed.
*Dream* (kinda gorey) I was standing at the edge of the cliff, where everyone I missed is in front of me and giving me a look of disgrace. I look down and next thing I know I'm falling through the air. I lose all air in my lungs and a sharp pain ripples through me, so I look down and notice that I've been impaled by a huge metal spike. I scream loud and look up, and see a bunch of walkers falling onto me. One bites my cheek off, another bites a few of my toes and fingers off, and the last one is tearing my guts apart. As I'm crying and screaming in absolute pain, I look to the right and see Ollie being torn apart, and look to the left to get away from the image but I get hit in the face when I see Dallas screaming for me while getting torn apart as well. I looked up and suprisingly, all of the pain was gone. I looked down at my body and all that was there was soft sand. I lookes to the left and right only to find Dallas and Ollie running/ crawling over to me. But then they switch into walkers and start to eat me, but I can't get away because my bones feel broken. "Please! Let this nightmare end!" I scream in agony.
*End of Dream* (sorry if I scared you)
"Please!" I scream and wake up in a pool of my own sweat, drool, and tears. I look around and see that I've woken Dallas, and now he's starting to cry for me. "Mom-my." He says, almost in a tired whimper. I rub my temples to stop myself from going crazy and I look back up to see that he's still normal. I walk over and pick him up, and sit in a rocking chair in the corner of the room. "Shh. Shh. It's okay, mommy is here." I felt bad calling myself his mom, but I just want him to know that he has a family. I rock him and whisper lullibies into his ear, calming down and putting him back to sleep. I tuck him back in and try to sleep myself, but can't so I just pace around my room until I decide to take a shower. I take everything off and step in the hot water. It's until this point that I've realized that I'm sunk onti the floor with my knees to my chest and my eyes are flooding with tears. After I sit in the shower for a few minutes I wash my hair and body, while letting small tears down my cheeks and thinking about my nightmare. After I'm done I step out and wrap myself in a soft fuzzy white towel. I blowdry my short hair and let it loose, and dry off, I put some undergarments on and decide on a not too hard outfit.

I look out of the window and notice that it's morning, so I go downstairs with red puffy eyes and a sniffly nose. I see Rick, and make my way over to him. "Sorry, I just had to crash here because if I didn't me and Dallas would be sleeping outside." I apologize. "It's okay, I understand. You have to do what you have to do." Rick says nicely. "But seriously though, I need a place..." I lift my eyebrow at him and he tells me to follow him. I grab my pistol just in case there are any walkers. Rick directs me to a big two story Grey house, and I thank him for it. "Watch over Dallas while I go check this place out. Please?" I ask and he nods walking away. I open the door and look around, and notice a bowl of fruit on the table. I eye it doen for a few seconds before aiming my pistol around and making sure that nothing is in the house. I go upstairs and check every room, nothing. After I've checked everything I go back over to Rick's and Grab Dallas and bring him to our home. Once we're inside I go to the basement after setting Dallas down and grabbing the baby stuff that I saw in there earlier. After I set up the baby toilet, high chair, and crib and toys in Dallas' seperate room, I put Dallas in his room and allow him to play woth the toys after wiping them down along with the other baby stuff. I go into my room which is right next to Dallas' and I tidy it up. I fold clothes and put shoes in the closet where they belong, and hang up a bunch of stuff. I do this to the rest of the rooms just in case I have guests, and go downstairs and clean up down there too. All of a sudden I hear a motorcycle and two cars coming into the driveway, and I look out to see Michonne, Carl, Judith, and Rosita getting our of one, and Glenn, Maggie, Abraham, and Tara getting out of another. And of course, Daryl is on his bike. My eyes light up when I see a puppy getting out of the car, and Maggie leading it to Rick, who leads it to me. I open my door excitedly, and look down at the small dog. "This- is for me?" I say tearing up. "Yeah, I'm not good with dog breeds but I'm pretty sure he's an Airedale Terrior." Maggie says happily.

I squeal and pick the puppy up in my arms. "Thank you guys so much!" My eyes are tearing up now and I just couldn't believe they we're doing this for me. Maggie handed me a White collar that said, 'Simba'. I loved it! "Thanks Maggs!" I say and hug her and Rick.
