A storm over head (Daryl Dixon fanfic)

A boys life

Carl had helped his dad and was making his way back to Alexander when he heard leaves crunching , he thought " for fucks sake ", but instead of a walker emerging out of that tree line was something far from a walker it was Tamara . 

"hey shithead " carl smiled , Tamara nodded to the man he was with and the man entered the gates .

"hey " carl replied back 

"what are you doing out so late"

" dad wanted me to check over something ready for tomorrow ."

"ahh right , you should probably get in "

" can i tell you something that you mustn't tell anyone about "

" of course what is it "

carl lifted up his shirt , that when tamara heart dropped and the pain kicked, he was bitten . 

"carl you got to tell you dad "

"not yet " 

"carl ,how "

"a heard of them came through , not a big heard but it just happened all so quick "

" oh carl " tamra said closing the space between the hugging him tightly "you survived so much you cant die from a walker bite "

" the fever already kicking in and to be honest im scared " 

" don't be , your such a strong boy .  when you were born i remember the call i got you mum and dad were so happy that they had finally had a baby . you had the most gorgeous blue eyes and the first time i held you , you smiled up at me .  at the time i was heavily pregnant with tamara , and i had almost died when giving birth , it was such a crazy week. 

the first night home with katrina  , you mother called she was crying into the phone saying that you had stopped breathing and that you were now in intensive care.  i  rushed down , with my own baby even claiming that i was your mother's sister so i could see you. there you lay your blue eye looking up at me and you smiled , something in that moment told me you where going to be just fine . you were stronger than all the other kids . 

at the age of five you and tamara  where best friends and whenever somebody picked on her you were always there to tell them off. 

and maybe just maybe you will have the same thing as me maybe " she cried .

" i don't think so , i already feel so weak and so tired .like i just want to shut my eyes "

"okay carl , you do what you feel has to be done i will support you know matter what "

"can you tell me how mum and dad met , just to get my mind off of things "

" they never told you "

"no"
 

"well as you know me and you father went to school together it was after you dad helped me pack for college , i was going to learn nursing .  we were in the college dorms unpacking and this women walks in , you father stood frozen in his place . this women asked if this was  room 245 , i told her it was . she smiled at me and then asked who this man was , i told it was my friend she smiled at , she stuck out her hand and said im lori . you father took her hand  . 

shane came up the stairs , hello he said" im shane"  he felt the need to kiss me on the cheek , rick asked your mother her number and that was history . 

your mother did not finishing nursing school , i did and went on to police force . 

your mother became a housewife that's how they met , hardly romantic " 

carl smiled up at her ," i best get back in to alexander "

" farewell carl , i hope to see you soon"

carl kissed her cheek and hugged her tightly , " i love you aunty T"

" i love you carl grimes"

they walked off in there separate , ways both of them silently sobbing .

then tamara was filled with this amount of rage that she hasn't felt in a long long time . but instead of using it to kill like she had done before , she thought what had nursing school taught her . instead she didn't go back to her camp , she kept walking .

she had found a place not to long ago where it looked as though people had been trying to use it to find a cure there was everything you would need . so she sat down , there she removed some of her own blood she knew that she had some sought of antibodies that prevent her from turning into one of them . 

she didn't know if she had the brains to figure it out but it didn't hurt to try right , carl was only a boy and his life did not deserve to end so quickly .  so she spent her time , before it she knew the sun had appeared over the hirson .

she had a small vial she hoped that it would be able to reverse the virus , it was possible. please let it be possible . 

the trip took to long to alexander and by the time she had arrived she had found that it was far to late , rick was crying  reading a letter and carl was now where to be seen . 

carl was dead , and she was too late , as she walked back to her camp she realised that it her camp was ransacked . like a heard had come through but she knew far better then that , this was not the doing of the walkers .

this was a group, she heard crying as she wandered through some of the dead she came across cassie , there she lay bleeding out. blearing awake . 

"oh my god cassie , "

" i tryed to get them all out "

"shhh shhh dont talk "

" i ----------i----------- tried "

"it okay i know know "

"  most of them got out "

" it okay be quite , it all okay"

Im ---------so-sorry , put a gun to my head "

"i cant "

"you--- have to----im to far gone ----- i cant be saved ."

"i cant" tamara cried 

"please , i  cant be one of them, dont ------- let me become one of them"

"you want i wont let it happen , well get you stiched up,"

" please ,"!!

"okay , okay , but can you tell me who it was"

"they came all to quickly , we couldn't see who they where they  came in the ,night --------but it happend all ..."

and then her eyes closed for the last time and slowly but steadily Tamara stood pointed her gun at cassie head and fired.  

this was not the making of her twin brother this was the making of a different threat and they need to be prepared for it .
