10 Chapter 10

After driving for a couple hours you pulled over at an old church to camp for the night. "Get some sleep. I'll keep watch." Daryl told you opening the truck door. "Wait! Please stay I don't want to be alone." You say. After what had just happened you didn't feel comfortable staying alone. Almost being blew up kinda messed you up a bit. "Yeah, okay. I'll stay right here." Daryl said getting back in the truck and shouting the door. You laid down putting your head in his lap and falling asleep easier then you thought you would.

Daryl didn't know what to do when you laid down with your head on his lap. He couldn't help but stiffen up at first but after a little bit he loosened back up and relaxed. He tentively started running his fingers through you H/L H/C. He started having that weird feeling again in his stomach and his pulse was picking up. He could stay like this forever.

Morning finally came and you woke up. Noticing again Daryl was gone. You sat up to see he was outside talking to Rick and Glenn. They looked to be looking over a map you guessed trying to figure out which way to go. It had been decided to try for Fort Benning. You weren't really sold on that plan either. If the military couldn't protect the CDC or the city then you doubted there was anyone left at Fort Benning either.

You got out of the truck stretching your limbs. "You sleep okay?" Daryl walked over to you and asked "As best I could on the seat of a truck." You said smiling a little humor in your voice "Did you stay up all night?" You asked him "Nah, I got a little bit of sleep. I didn't want to wake you tho." Daryl said. "You could have. I wouldn't have minded. So what's the plan?" "We're going to down size only take the RV, Carols Cherokee and The bike. And try for the highway to Fort Benning." "Okay, am I still allowed to ride with you?" "If ya want. Ya ever even been on a bike before?" "No, but I'd rather ride with you then be stuck in the RV. All I gotta do is hold on tight and follow your lead right?" You said smiling. "Mmm hmm." Daryl hummed he couldn't believe he was going to get to feel you with your arms around him.

Once the gas was siphoned from any cars that weren't being used. You put your bag in the RV and got on the back of Daryls bike. "You'll want to hold on tight." Daryl told you. "I plan on it." You whispered.

Daryl felt you wrap your arms around high waist leaning forward a little to put your chin on his shoulder whispering in his ear "Ready" he started getting that weird feeling in his stomach again and his heart rate picked up. He could feel himself getting hard too. He couldn't help it the thought aline made him hard but now it's actually happening and you actually are behind him holding on to him. What did it in for him was when you laid your head on his back at first he stiffened but forced himself to relax. "Maybe she does feel the same way." He thought

You were enjoying the view fly by and the wind in your hair and you held onto Daryl as you flew down the road. It was almost freeing and you could almost forget the world had gone to complete shit. But that all went out the window when you came to a huge traffic jam on the highway. There were cars and trucks everywhere and a big tractor trailer turned over. You could see dead bodies still in the cars. Doors swang wide open, personal items all over the place. It just brought back the memories of the very beginning.

Daryl turned the bike around pulling up along the drivers side of the RV. "Do you see a way through?" Dale yelled out the window. Daryl nodded his head gesturing to follow him. You were weaving in and out of cats when you heard the RV break down. You tapped Daryl on the shoulder to let him know and he stopped. You got off the bike to see smoke pouring out of the RV. Dale, Glenn, Shane, and Andrea got out coming around to the front along with the rest of the group. "I said it. Didn't I say it? A thousand times. Dead in the water." Dale said. "Problem Dale?" Shane asked walking over to Dale. "Just a small matter of being stuck in the middle of nowhere with no hope of-- Okay, that was dumb." Dale said "If we can't find a radiator hose here..." "there's a bunch of stuff we can find hete." Daryl said going through the back of one of the cars. "I can siphon more fuel from these cars for a start." T-Dog said "Maybe some water." Carol says "Or food." You said "This is a graveyard. I don't know how I feel about this." Lori said you All looked at her. You just rolled your eyes and started walking towards one of the cars to see what you could find. "Come on, y'all. Just look around, gather what you can." You heard T-Dog say.

You were going through a car when you felt someone wrap there arm around you waist and a hand over your mouth. You started panicking until you heard that voice that made you tingle all over. "Stay quiet, there's a herd of walkers get in the car on the floor lock the doors and don't say anything." You got in the car laying on the floor locking the door. Daryl made sure the other doors were shut and locked before going off somewhere else. You could tell your anxiety going up. It felt like hours had passed before Daryl knocked on the window. You unlocked it and let him help you out.

Once you got back to the RV where everyone else was you noticed that T-Dog was bleeding and Carol was crying. "What happened?"you asked Daryl. "The little girl, she got chased into the woods by two walkers. Rick went after her." "That horrible!" You said. You could only hope that Sophia returned safe and sound.
