Strange Desires (Rick Grimes & Daryl Dixon Love Triangle)

Chapter 5: On The Road Again

The wind is refreshing as it blows past me in such a rush. I can feel my hair blowing through the air as my arms are wrapped around Daryl's torso. Daryl would casually swerve across the road because he got bored always driving in a straight line. We drove out of the city, I can hear the sound of the other engines behind us. Letting me know that we are safe.

I feel us slowing down. I peer over his shoulder to see a line of cars. I curse under my breath. Daryl pulls up to the side of the RV.

"Can we get through?" Dale asks.

"I'll go and check it out." He replies. He swerves around cars as we try to think of a way around this.

"We could push those two cars over to the side and that should make enough space." I gesture with my fingers. He nods. We hear a loud hissing sound making us turn around. Smoke is coming from the RV's engine. Lovely. Dale comes out accusing everyone and saying he warned us.

"You never know what you can find here." Andrea points out. "We could find a hose and supplies."

"This is a graveyard." Lori makes a disgusted face towards Andrea.

"Yeah. But we do need some supplies. It isn't like we are taking their bones or personal items. We just need food and water." I reason.

"I don't know what I think about this." Lori shakes her head. I can see where she is coming from. She wants these people to rest in peace.

"Its okay." I give her a small smile before spinning on my heel. I walk down to the far end of the car line. I open up the doors to a green mini van. There isn't much, just a little bit of food. I grab the food and shove it in my bag. Carl runs up to me.

"Abby! Look what I found!" He reveals a bag full of knives and hatchets.

"Wow! Good job!" I smile.

"Do you think my Dad would let me keep some?" He asks.

"Go and find out." I smile. He runs off to the RV. I am about to open another door before getting grabbed from behind. The person covers my mouth and holds me against their body. I try to fight back, frantically flailing my arms.

"Shh. Its me." Rick whispers in my ear. "Get under the car." I follow what he told me. I climb under the green mini van. Rick is under a different car. After a few seconds I start to see dirty feet walk by me.

I look behind me to see Carol and Lori huddle together. Lori is trying to keep Carol quiet and calm. I look off to where she is staring at, Sophia is laying down all alone. Carl is beside her but under a whole different car.

The last pair of feet walked by. I hear an ear piercing scream. I roll out from under the car and spot Sophia being chase over in the woods. I immediately run to her. I jump over the railing of the road and run down into the woods.

I try to follow my tracks back to the group. It is pitch black outside. I can't see my hand if I put it to my face. You do not want to know how many times I have fallen over a fallen tree or a stump.

I hear footsteps. I feel around for a tree. I quickly hide behind it. There is a faint light.

"Hello?" I whisper to the light. The light flick over to my direction.

"Abby?" The deep raspy voice calls out. I step out from behind the tree. The person holding the flashlight approaches me with a grim face.

"Daryl." I smile. Usually he would smile back but not this time. "What's wrong?"

"You fucking ran off! What the hell was your issue?" He yells. I gesture with my hands to tell him to quiet down. He rolls his eyes at me and crosses his arms over his chest.
