Visions. Chapter 3.
They have stopped next to a mall, they wanted to get some supplies and they have seen what it looked like a message from the others. It looked like Tara's message and they were going to the East as Carol has said.
The mall looked safe enough, it wasn't so big. Morgan and Henry have stayed in the truck while Rick,Carol and him investigated the place. It looked good, they haven't seen anything weird.. apart from the fact that there were no walkers.
He didn't know if they should consider it a fucking blessing or if they should be worried about the fact that walkers have dissipated from the world.
- Oh my God..- said Carol as she reached the center of the Mall.
It was destroyed. There was a glass skylight, it had been there once.. it was clearly destroyed. And it looked like that thing has been walking and decided to put a "paw" inside the mall, destroying the skylight and a big part of the shops in the mall.
It looked.. like one of those fantastic movies. It looked sublime.
They could see the sky from inside the mall and they could see some rest of the glass up there.
- That thing again..- whispered Rick- I wonder what it is.
- I would say something from another world.. so big, so enormous- said Carol looking at the sky
She looked scared. And he knew why
They could hide or defeat walkers but how were they going to hide from something that could just crush them?
…..
- What did you see?- asked Morgan as they got into the car.
- There was nothing.. nothing left- said Rick as he started the motor of the car.
Morgan looked at them knowing they have seen something but he didn't ask anything. He just hugged Henry and looked through the window.
They were driving for hours when Carol spoke.
- Have any of you seen any bird? Since this.. started?- she asked them
They all stayed in silent.
- Any other animal?- she asked them again
Silent again.
No one dare to talk after that.
…..
The sky was darker, they couldn't see that big dark cloud which always accompanied that creature. But the sky looked darker and it wasn't even midday.
There was no sun, no clouds. Just grey everywhere.
The trees looked so dead, like they couldn't even breath and there was a weird arome in the air. Something he hasn't smelt in his life.
They coughed a little, he was sure it was because of the cold. It was freezing. He just hoped they would find a safe place soon.
- Daryl?- asked Carol as she put her head in his shoulder.
- Yeah?- he asked her
- I'm so cold- she said- It's so cold, too cold.. don't you think?
He just looked at her and he took off his vest to give it to her. She looked at him trying to reject it but he just looked through the window.
He noticed her falling asleep.
He didn't tell her he saw another one of those things in the other side of the lake they were passing by.
….
They have found a destroyed cabin when it was getting even darker. They really didn't know if it was already night or if the sky was just getting darker because of these new hellish creatures.
There was a basement. It was safe. They decided to spend the night there.
Carol and him have choosen to sleep in one of the corners, they were hiding behind some boxes full of books and old photograph books. They were lying in the floor and looking at each other.
- I had another vision in the truck- she whispered as she caressed his jaw
He couldn't stop looking at her lips, her mouth. He wanted to taste it so bad.
- Are you gonna tell me about it?- he asked her although he knew the answer already.
She wasn't gonna tell him
So, she leaned to him and they kissed slow and deeply.
They spent all night kissing, loving each other.. they didn't take off each other clothes but they consummated their love as he has always dreamt of doing.
He kissed her while making love to her, he kissed every moan and sigh that was coming from her mouth as he slowly thrusted into her.
And when they came, they came together.
They didnt sleep that night, he wasn't gonna waste time sleeping when he could kiss every part of the body of this woman, of the love of his life.
But they had to leave that place and continued going to the East with the others.
- Do you think it's worthy?- she asked him
It was worthy? To keep going even when they knew this was probably the end?
It wasn't.
But he still had some hope.
And he wasn't gonna let her give up.
So, they went into the truck and continued going to the East
They coughed a little more than they day before.
To be continued.
