Fearless: Daryl Dixon Love Story

Chapter Ten: Chupacabra

┏━━━━━━Day One Of The Turn━━━━━━┓

I just can't stop crying. Dad's dead. He was a father. My Dad was my everything. He always was there for me. Running my hand through my hair, I knew I had to collect my thoughts soon or I would go crazy. He came to kindergarten graduation, talent show, and even was the best at my sweet sixteen.

Now I knew that. At the time, I was embarrassed by him, but now I would do anything to see him dance horribly. I would do anything to join him laughing and having him alive. I wiped my tears knowing I couldn't be like this. For one, He wouldn't want me to be and we also had to be level headed now.

Something was going on in this world. Carl was outside with a new girl who I learned to be Sophia. Shane was in the front with Mom looking for radio channels. That's when the sound of helicopters was heard flying over the highway. I got off of the hood of the car and started running to the woods hearing some distant explosions.

" Kayla !" Shane yelled, but I just keep going.

I looked at the city and see them throwing bombs despite there being people. Mom and Shane finally made it and see the destruction like I had. Mom started to cry on Shane's shoulder, watching our hope slowly slip away. I turned around and just walk back to the cars when I tripped and cut my knee.

" Shit !"

" Need help ?" I heard and look up to see a man with an angel vest and a crossbow. He was charming with his blue eyes. He must have noticed I was staring because he made a weird face.

" Y-yeah, I'm sorry. I'm Kayla. Kayla Grimes." I said, and extend my hand.

He nodded, taking my hand and shaking it." Daryl. Daryl Dixon."

I woke up from the odd memory, surprised I wasn't back in the dark woods. It felt so real, and I really thought I was back in the beginning. I rolled over and saw Daryl was already gone, so I groaned and got changed, still wearing Daryl's flannel. I left the tent and observing Glenn a bit pale and not very himself.

" Hey, Glenn."

" Hi, Kayla." He said in a monotone voice. I frowned, catching up with him a bit since he was wandering a bit quickly." Glenn, what's wrong? Lost your baseball cap?"

" Busy."

" Glenn, wait." I said, grabbing his arm and stopping him from walking." You have been different since you went on the run for my Mom. Is everything okay?"

Glenn's face turned a bit red before he turned around suddenly and walked even faster then he did before. I shook my head and went to the horse ranch seeing Daryl take Nelly out of the barn. Nelly's big brown eyes saw me and placed her head down for me to pet.

" Hey, Nelly." I said, petting the horse before turning to Daryl." Where are you going ?"

" I'm going out to look for Sophia a bit deeper in the woods."

" Here, I'll come with you."

" No, you're still recovering." He said, getting on the horse and positioning his crossbow over his shoulder." Don't worry. I'll be back before you know it."

" Just be careful and find that little girl."

" You got it, chief." He said before allowing the horse to run off into the woods.

I smiled and walked to the campground only to see Maggie and Glenn in a little argument. Maggie had said something that left Glenn in his place, sadly watching her leave.
