Ch- The Silent Game

~Daryl~

I woke up to see Beth changing by the wardrobe. She was currently in jeans and just a bra. I smirked and covered my eyes, before I coughed quietly. She looked over and whisper shouted,"Oh my god!" She covered herself with her hands.

I than notices the moans and groans from outside the house, I put a finger to my mouth. She scowled at me, before slipping on a blue tank top than walking out the bedroom door to Carls bedroom. She knocked quietly, than opened not hearing an answer. Carl was on his bed reading comics.

"What," he asked. I almost laughed hearing his voice crack.

I heard Beth stifle a giggle too, and I whispered,"Someone is going through puberty." He covered his mouth.

"Shut up," he almost yelled. I fought off laughing, putting a finger to my lips and pointing outside. He looked out of the window and looked back at us.

"Whoops," he whispered. You could still hear his voice crack. Beth turned around to muffle her laughing into my shirt, while I covered my mouth with the back of my hand. He rolled his eyes and got out of bed. Me and Beth sort of gasping for air. We walked out into the loft sort of thing upstairs, where the door and staircase to downstairs was. We put a cabinet and couch up against that too, just in case.

"We should play the silent game," Beth whispered. Carl nodded with a smile, turning back to his comics.

"That's a kids game," I muttered. She shook her head and held up a king size pack of Mamba. The little juicy candies which I believe came before starbursts. I remember them never getting old.

"Not when you are playing for this," she smirked. She put them in the center of the pile.

"Fine. I'll play," I mumbled.

Carl nodded,"Already playing."

"Kay. Ready. Set. Go," she whisper shouted.

We were sitting in a circle, our legs crossed. We all stared at each other intently. I had felt Carl's eyes looking into my soul, while mine were looking right into his. I smirked, sticking out my tongue. He covered his mouth to stop from laughing, but recovered quickly. Beth was sitting back, smiling slightly at our stare off.

I looked him in the eyes, then shifted my eyes to Beth. He looked confused at first, but then nodding at what I was getting at. I held up my finger. 1...2...3! We both quickly shifted our eyes to Beth, and she was so surprised and quickly covered her mouth to stop a giggle. I roll my eyebrows at her, and she bites the back of her hand to hold back laughter, while Carl does all these weird motions with his hands.

I look over at him, and see him point to Beth, then stick up his middle finger, then point to me. I looked at him for a minute, then back at Beth. She looked me in the eye, because Carl still hadn't noticed I had seen him. I tap his shoulder lightly, and he slowly turns his head towards me. He gives a sort of 'haha whoops' smile and I smirk. I mouth as I point,"you wanna fuck Beth?" I point at him, then flip him off, then at Beth. He shook his head, and I could see fear on his face.

He than whispered,"Okay. Okay. I give up." I smirk, giving him a thumbs up sign, before him returning to his comic book.

I turned my attention to Beth, picked up the candies and handed it to her. She looked confused,"You giving up?"

I smirked," Nope." I grabbed the candies from her and stuck out my tongue. She looked shocked, and I smiled at her, grabbing a mamba and popping it into my mouth. I turned to her, tossing her one, than one to Carl. He smiled, as if saying thank you.

We were silent for awhile. Carl eyes were still glued to his comic book, and Beth was eating a back of chips, while carving something on the wall. "How long you think we have to wait," she asked in a very soft whisper.

I shrugged,"Dunno. Maybe a day or two." She nodded, and I walked over to her. She was carving names, our names, into the wall.

First she started off with Herschel, than underneath she put Maggie and Beth. She put an 'x' by their names and wrote Glenn next to Maggie's and Daryl next to hers.

She then moved over a bit, and carved 'Rick x Lorie' then underneath put Carl and Judith. She smiled, than wrote Carol's name and Sophia underneath it.

She than stopped and asked,"What was Andrea's sister's name?"

I thought for a moment before answering,"A-Amy? I think." She nodded, carving that into the wall, along with Andrea and Dale nearby. Beth than carved in Tyrese and Sasha, and next to Sasha she put 'x Bob'.

"How do ya know they were together," I questioned.

"Saw 'em kissing at the prison," she whispered a smile forming on her face. She then carved T-Dogs name and Shane's than sat back admiring her work.

"Di' I forgot anyone," she whispered.

"Not anyone you should know... But," I grabbed the knife from her hand. I carved in Jim's name, than Morales and his family. I thought for a moment, not thinking I forgot anyone, than remembered Michone.

"Forgot Michone," I mumbled, squeezing her name to the right of the Grimes area. "Now..." I muttered, and put a small slash by T-Dog's name. Than by Shane's, by Dale's, by Sophia's, by Jim's, by Andrea's, Amy's, and Dale's. I hovered over Lorie's name, before putting a slash, and then I looked at Herschel.

I felt Beth hug me, and then her head pressed against my shoulder. I heard her sob and quickly whispered,"Can't cry now." She nodded slowly, getting up and walking away. I turned around, to see her go into our bedroom before closing the door.

I hovered my knife over his name, than after what seemed like forever, a put a little slash by it. I put a ? by Morales family, because we weren't really sure where they went.

Carl came up behind me and sighed,"I miss em all." I nodded in agreement. It was silent, until I heard a bang from the bedroom, and a quiet scream. Me and Carl both jumped up, running towards the door.

When we busted in, I was surprised to see Beth, pulling a knife from a walker's head. She was gasping for breath, and I walked behind her, pulling her in for a hug.

"Are ya alrigh'" I whispered, holding her tightly in my arms.

"Y-yah," she panted out,"But now we gotta go, it ain't safe. They know we are here." As if on cue, I heard glass breaking downstairs.

"Grab the stuff c'mon," I whispered.

We grabbed everything we needed, and left a note in the bedroom for Rick and Michone.

Walkers got in

Not safe

Head on Railroad Tracks

It was disgusting, watching Carl write it in blood from the dead walker. He finished signing it, than we climbed out the window. When we were out, I noticed a little hill in jumping distance.

I shared a glance with them, then nodded. "We jump, and when we land run like there's no tomorra," I said. They both nodded.

I took a running jump, landing about a foot into the hill. Beth went next, jumping and landing right on the edge, I had to grab her arm and pull her up. "Ow," I heard her murmur, rubbing her scar.

"C'mon, Carl," I whispered to him. He threw us the duffle bag and his backpack, then jumped. He ended up right next to Beth. Then we all sprinted behind us into the forest, as fast as we could, hoping to avoid the walkers.
