Chapter I: Days Gone Bye (Part 2)

I stared into his eyes and I couldn't draw my attention away from them. They were to beautiful and they kept me there in that awkward position. It was as if I was in a never ending hazy dream. I could have looked at him all day but he pushed me away blushing. "Dumb bitch, watch where your going," he said before slim ding his crossbow over his shoulder and wandering off into the woods.

Someone tapped on my shoulder and I realized I'd been watching him leave and flushed with embarrassment. I turned back to Lori who was watching me with amusement. "That was graceful," she said sarcastically. "Shut up," I replied and gave her a smile. "Who was that man," I asked curiosity getting the best of me.

Her smile disappeared and she probed my face for my thoughts. I had always been told I was an open book and it was absolutely impossible for me to keep my feelings from showing, and I was embarrassed about my instacrush as I called it. "That's Daryl Dixon, him and his brother Merle are trouble stay away from them," she said sternly.

I had about a thousand questions about my mystery man but I her face told me that was all on the subject she was going to talk about. Lori led me into the RV and made me a cup of tea. We sat on the table in front of the window and Lori began the rain of questions. "How did you get out of Kentucky," she asked sipping her tea.

I sat in my classroom starring up at the old man down at the bottom of the somewhat stadium like room. He was going on about something called the string theory, I was never much into science. Being an graphic design major there wasn't much use for it in my area of expertise but I had to pass the class in order to graduate so I absentmindedly copied notes into my notebook.

The doors behind me opened and Gregory Dorian came into the classroom sweating horribly, he had nasty size scratch on his right arm that seem to be infected. "Gregory your late," the teacher called up to him. "Sorry, professor," he replied embarrassed by his sudden attention. He then walked over and sat down in his assigned seat next to me. "You should have that place checked out on your arm," I said starring at it. "Thanks," he replied. He took off his jacket and placed it around the back of his chair and got out his notebook. He then laid his head down on the table and groaned. He never moved again.

After several hours I tapped him on the shoulder and he groaned again this time with more malice. "Are you alright," I asked tapping him again. He sat up foam coming out of his mouth and he slowly turned to me. His eyes were demonic and it felt as though he had no soul. He pounced on me then and I fell backwards onto the floor sending Lindsey Mark with me. "Get off me," I screamed as he tried to reach me his teeth chomping as though he was trying to bite me.

Suddenly he was being lifted off me and I sat up. Todd Malay, the star football player had picked him up by the back of his shirt. "What's wrong with you man," he said before Gregory bit into his neck. Todd let out a blood curdling scream and then all hell broke loose. Everyone went everywhere screaming in an effort to leave the building scrabbling to the exits.

I put my notebook in my backpack and exited the building along with others walking passed the now deceased Todd and Gregory chomping on his remains. I covered my mouth in an effort not to cry, but the tears came anyways. As I exited the building I almost stopped breathing there were hundreds on them. Students eating other students .

I ran around the back side of the building only to run into another one of them. A girl I knew from my Spanish class Chelsea I think her name was. I maneuvered around her but she fallowed me. I ran towards the entrance of the building and rammed her head into the door. Blood went everywhere and she fell unmoving on the ground.

When she didn't move again I looked up from her into the hallway. There was a fire axe behind a glass case secured to the wall and I ousted it with my door removing the axe and exiting the building for the final time. As I made my way across campus I decapitated the ones that got to close for comfort. I was for the hundredth time glad that I rented an apartment across from the college, but for this time not because I was late but because I didn't have far to go.

I checked my watch 3:45. Jacob would be home bye now and in the apartment. I would have never made it to his school across town and gotten him in time. I slipped up the apartment stairway and took out my key unlocking the door.

"Lillie your alive," Jacob said rushing into my arms. The back door was open onto the porch and he had obviously been watching the horrible scene on campus. "Yeah I am, alright buddy grab your things we gotta go," I replied. He didn't argue and went off to his room.

"The last month has been the worst thing ever," I said sipping the last drops of my tea. I leaned back against the seat and suddenly remembered the axe that was strapped to it, i took it off and leaned it up against the seat "I bet," Lori replied. "It's been a nightmare, after loosing Rick we barely made it here." The conversation grew to a close as Amy burst into the camper.

"Lunch is ready," she said. I leaped to my feet at the prospect of food. Me and Jacob had been living on crackers and peanut butter for the past week and my stomach growled. I followed Amy out of the camper and joined the others around the small unlit campfire. It was perhaps a bit early for lunch but I didn't protest as I smelled the meat.

Lori said that it was squirrel I was somewhat grossed out but meat was meat. Jacob came running up to me and threw his hands around me and then sat down on the long next to me. I enjoyed the constant chatter of the camp. "So what's your story," Dale asked me. I relayed to them my story. "I heard that Atlanta was the safest place to go, but now I know different," I said looking at Lori.

"Yeah it's overrun by geeks, it's hard to get in and out without being eatin, "Glenn said taking a hefty bite of meat. "Speaking of going in and out," Andrea spoke up," We're running low on supplies." "We need to make a run," Shane said eyeing the camp. "Fine," Glenn said nervously. "Nothing against yah Glenn but your going to need to take others this time around we need more than you can carry," Dale said patting the young boy on his back.

"But I'm faster by myself," Glenn argued. "Dales right," Shane said, "Are there any volunteers." "I'll go," Andrea said raising her hand. Amy looked at her in surprise and tried to talk her out of it but Andrea refused. T-Dog also raised his hand and Morales.

"I'll go," a voice from behind me yelled. It was a deep throaty drawl kind of voice with a hint of sarcasm that sounded as though it never left. I turned around to see his owner and instantly knew who it was by his appearance. The man was older than Daryl but had the same red neck look about him. This man could only be Merle Dixon. "Are you sure Merle," Shane asked halfheartedly.

"Damn sure, can't have all the fun without me can you now officer friendly," he replied saluting him. I was suddenly disgusted with him. He was different from his brother, he was somewhat less calm and gentle. "Then it's decided," Shane said bringing me back to the conversation.

"If you leave in an hour you will make it back before dark." The group dispersed after this and I felt a pair of eyes boring into the back of my head. I turned to see Merle starring straight at me with lustful eyes. "We'll whats your name sugartits," he asked licking his lips. "Non of your damn business," Lori said lifting me up and leading me into the camper. He let out a deep throaty laugh and replied something that I didn't catch because of the RV door slamming.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Damn," Amy said coming in the camper and slamming the door. Our people had left hours ago and I was beginning to become worried. "What," I asked lifting my eyes from my game of Solitaire? "There was a guy on the transceiver heading for Atlanta, we couldn't catch him to warn him," she replied. "That's a shame," I said.

"Yeah, what are you playing," she asked trying to distract herself. "Solitaire, you wanna play something," I asked? "Sure." We played several card games till the sun went down and they still did not return. "I'm so worried about my sister," she said finally after a long period of silence. "She'll be fine!" "I hope so." Me and Jacob slept in the camper that night and it was the best sleep I had in what seemed like ages.

When I woke it was early in the morning and everyone else was still asleep. I silently got up and took a pair of cloths that Amy had let me barrow and slid into the small bathroom to change. It was a pink shirt and a pair of short white shorts.

I slipped out of the camper and into the cool morning. Carol sat stirring a pot of what looked like instant oatmeal. "Good morning," she said. I noticed a forming bruise under her eye but didn't mention it. Ed was over at the other side of the camp smoking a cigarette and starring me down. I knew it was him that had some it but I didn't say anything. "What's that," I asked drawing my attention to the pot.

"Oatmeal," she said giving me a bowl. I eat my breakfast quietly afraid to wake the sleeping campers. Daryl Dixon emerged from the woods carrying two rabbits and a couple of squirrels. He stopped suddenly when he saw me and we looked at each other for what felt like hours.

Until he grunted a hello and the handed Carol his catch. She took them excitedly and began to skin them using a long kitchen knife. I watched him walk towards his tent and for the second time I found myself starring to long.

How does everyone like the story so far? I know there hasn't been much about Daryl yet but ill get there I promise! Daryl and Lillie's relationship is a big part of my story and I wanted to make it as real as possible and I want them to grow naturally. I feel that Daryl isn't the kind of guy to fall in love at first site and I want to play with his character a little bit. Questions? Comments? I would really like to have some feed back and if you have any ideas I'd love some!
