Lovely Nightmare (Carl Grimes FanFic)

Chapter 2: Found

I can't believe I found Daryl.

He helps me up.

I feel a tap on my shoulder.

I turn around to see a man who needs to shave.

"Hello, you must be Daryl's niece Emma, I'm Rick." The man says.

"Helloooooo Rick" I say with a smile

He smiles back.

"Where were you? on the day everything broke out? Me and Merle came home to get you but you were gone." Daryl asks.

"I knew I needed to leave. I didn't wanna die." I say.

"I'm just glad I found you" he says.

"you too" I say back.

"Emma, you wanna come back to our place? It's a prison and there are a whole bunch of people" Rick asks.

A whole bunch of people. I've been alone for so long.

"Okay I'll go. But I may be a but overwhelmed because I haven't made human contact in the last 2 years except... never mind" I say.

Even the thought of Gunnar just scares me.

"Okay let's go" Rick says and we all start walking.

They take care of any walkers we pass even though I beg to do it.

"I got this one" I say.

But before I can do anything Daryl shoots it.

"Ugh Darylllllll! I can do it! Do you know how many walkers I've killed with my sword!?!? I've killed small herds easily! I've never had to use my knife or gun in the last 2 years." I yell.

"shhh! you're gonna attract walkers!" Daryl whispers.

"GOOD!" I scream.

Then in front of us a small herd of about 20 walkers comes and Daryl and Rick pick up their weapons.

"DONT SHOOT!" I scream.

"Let me handle this" I say.

I run up and chop 5 walkers heads off at once.

Then I hear 3 come up behind me so I turn around slash the top of their heads of individually.

Then I chop 2 others heads off and that leaves me with 10.

It's the weirdest thing, they are all standing in a line walking towards me.

What the heck.

I take this chance and chop off all of their heads at once, which was pretty darn cool.

I put my sword back into the holder and look at Daryl and Rick.

"Now do you believe me?" I ask.

"I should known", Rick says while putting his gun up, "You are a Dixon".

"Ha. Peasants." I say and start walking.

We walk for a few more minutes until we reach the huge prison.

"We just moved in here last week" Rick says.

We walk in the gate, which was opened by a lady with short gray hair.

"Carol! Come Here!" Daryl yells.

"Who is this?" Carol says walking up to us.

"Emma" Daryl says.

"Your niece?" Carol asks.

"Yup" I say.

"Daryl used to look for you all the time!" She tells me.

"Aww did wittle Daryl miss me" I say and nudge him.

"I wasn't gonna tell her that" Daryl says and eyes Carol.

"Let's go inside" Rick says.

I walk in and I see 2 young adult looking girls.

They look up at me.

"Who's this?" They ask.

"Emma" Daryl says.

"YOUR NIECE?!" they ask excitedly.

"Yeah yeah yeah" Daryl says and walks away.

"He used to look for you a lot" They tell me.

"Haha yeah so I've been told" I say.

They have cute little country accents.

"Beth, go take her to see everyone and to an empty cell." one of the girls says.

"Oh and by the way I'm Maggie" the girl says.

"This is Emma, Daryl's niece, dad" Beth introduces.

"Hi Emma, you can call me Hershel" He says.

That guy needs a haircut and to shave bc that's getting ratchet.

Wait what am I saying this is an apocalypse.

Next we walk up to an Asian man.

"This is Glenn" She says.

"Glenn this is Emma, Daryl's niece" she says.

"Hi" Glenn said with a smile.

Finally we walk up to a boy my age holding a really cute baby.

"Be careful he has a temper" Beth whispers in my ear.

"Carl?" Beth asks.

"Yeah?" he looks up.

"This is Emma, Daryl's niece. She is your age" Beth says.

"Cool" he says with a blank face.

"What's the baby's name?" I ask.

"As of now Little ass kicker, she doesn't have a name yet" Beth says.

"Where's the-" Beth gives me a stare saying 'shutup'.

So I don't ask.

"Okay Emma follow me" Beth says.

We walk to an empty cell.

It's disgusting.

"This is your new home" she says.

"Do y'all have cleaning supplies?" I ask.

"No" she says.

"Okay I'm going to that walmart down the road." I say.

"alone?" she asks.

"Yeah..." I say.

I walk out the door.

"Emma, where are you going?" Daryl asks me.

"To the store" I say.

"Not alone" he says.

"Daryl! I was alone for 2 years I think I can handle going down the road 20 minutes!" I yell.

"Fine" he says.

"Can I go?" I hear someone ask.

I turn around and it's Carl.

"I need a new shirt this is disgusting" he says coldly.

"Are you aloud to go alone?" I ask.

"Dad can I go with Emma?" he yells in a deep voice which is very sexy.

"Yeah. But I wouldn't let you go with anyone else because no one else knows how to take care of themselves like her" Rick says.

"No talking" I tell Carl.

"Not a problem" he says and slams the door open.

This is going to be interesting...
