ANDDDD THE SECOND ONE TODAYYY! Please review :)

Chapter 6

They reached the CDC a little before darkness would hit and every exited their vehicles as quickly and quietly as possible, not many corpses where around but a lot of dead bodies where piled everywhere, Brooke gagged pulling her bandana over her nose with a quickness, it only helped a little. Getting to the roll down doors quickly they began to look for a way inside. "there is no one here" Shane cuts Rick a dirty look " then why are the shutters down huh?" Rick retorts , everyone is on edge and nervous being close to the city. " Walkers!" Daryl yells and Brooke turns with him to begin shooting at them silently with her cross bow. " You led us into a fucking graveyard!" Daryl said advancing on Brookes uncle, she grabbed his shoulder but he just yanked away from her " He made a call Daryl" Brooke defended only to have Daryl wheel around on her " Was the wrong damn call!". Brooke didn't back down she cut him a look as everyone was going into panic mode trying to think of a what they where going to do, they decided to find a place for the night when something caught not only ricks eye but Brooke as well.

" it moved!" Brooke calls , looking at the camera, " She right the camera moved" Shane walks back to Rick grabbing him . " come one man we gotta go, it was nothing you two are seeing thing" Brooke scoffs and walks up to the door. " Please we have women children, no food or fuel, we need this place please" she started to beg and beat on the door but Daryl's strong arm wraps around her waist but she struggles as she hears Rick calling out to the camera " Your killing us! your killing us!" and as they all turned to finally leave the door opened and white light flooded her vision. Daryl let her go slowly and they all hesitantly walked towards the door. inside a man was standing with a gun in his hand " Any body infected ?!" he calls. Rick explains that Jim had been infected but hadn't made the trip, Brookes eyes widened she hadn't known Jim had died she must have slept through all of that. She felt bad that she hadn't been able to say goodbye to the kind man, he had been a great person and she was now pissed no one had told her or even bothered to wake her up. Turns out the price of admission into this place , was a blood test. A price everyone was willing to pay, they grabbed their things from the cars quickly before heading down an elevator , Jenner said the doors wouldn't open again so Brooke made sure to lock up her r.v and get as many of her books and personal items as she could carry. the blood test went quickly and soon after everyone was sitting down and eating their dinner and drinking wine or in Daryl's case a nice bottle of whiskey, the only thing that sucked about coming to the CDC was that this Jenner fellow was the only scientist left standing. This place may be safe but they hadn't found the one thing they had wanted, answers.

Rick and everyone where enjoying wine when carl says he wants some of the wine and after everyone kind pleaded his case with Lori he was allowed a sip. " Ewww " he exclaimed and handed it to his mother " That my boy" she snickers as everyone laugh's at the disgruntled look on his face " Brooke downed her fourth cup of wine, Reba on her sixth, they had bother always been able to hold their alcohol well but the months they had gone without it made them a little more buzzed than usual but nothing they couldn't handle, But of course Shane couldn't handle the jovial mood of everyone in the room and started in on Jenner for answers, effectively depressing everyone in the room. " Your such a buzz kill man" Glenn grumbled. Jenner lead everyone to an area they could sleep in , telling them about a rec room for the kids and more things they could use . " but don't plug in any of the machines kids, and that goes for showers too, go easy on the hot water." . Brooke got so excited " Hot water!?" she squealed. " That's what the man said" T-dog chuckles .

Soon everyone was enjoying the hot water, Brooke was in her shower and had just finished washing her hair when the door opened " Reba go take a shower in your own room" she joked she peeped out of the door to see Daryl, his face was beat red " thought this room was empty" he turned to leave. " No wait" she stepped out pulling a towel on her, he tensed up and his eyes roamed her body unable to help it. " why don't you stay with me, i need someone to help wash my back" she said, the alcohol helped make her braver, she really wanted him, needed his rough hands to touch her. she stepped closer cautiously and when he didn't step away she grabbed his hand. " Why ya want me for anyhow?" his voice was thick as he spoke but he let her pull him closer. " because your a good man, i've always known that" she mumbles placing his hand on her towel covered waist. His breath hitched as she leaned closer to him , he didn't pull away and just as he felt her lips feather a crossed his own the door snapped open " Hey Brooke you wont bel- Oh! oh sorry shit sorry" Reba's voice filled their embarrassed silence and the door snapped shut. Daryl as if snapping out of a trance pushed her away as gently as possible and left without a word. Brooke let out a frustrated sigh and finished her shower quickly before heading to the rec room, But upon approaching the room she could hear someone crying and things moving. " pulling the door open she see's Shane trying to basically rape her aunt and she see's red, she walks up and taps his shoulder and when he turns around punches him so hard in the nose it knocks his drunk ass to the ground. She pulls her hunting knife from its holster and bent down holding it to his throat " I told you to stay the fuck away from my family, touch her again and you will lose your fucking balls" she draws back kicking him in the gut for good measure. She helps a shaking Lori out of the room shutting it behind them. " Don't tell rick please" she whimpers and Brookes heart breaks for her " I won't but you should try one day, he would understand". Brooke left her in her room with carl and then went back to her to sleep only to find Daryl passed out on her couch asleep. She shrugs and get on the couch next to him pulling a throw blanket over the both of them.

Earlier after Reba had walked in on Brooke she had scampered red faced back to her room only to find Rick waiting for her there, no sooner had the door close was he on her, he kissed her passionately, and she could taste the alcohol on his tongue, he was drunk and she knew that. " R-rick stop your married this isn't right" she said as he kissed down her jaw line and her neck. " I just want you so bad" he mumbled next to her ear, just as breathless as she. " I want you too but we can't , you know that" , she hates saying it but she just wasn't this person, he looked up at her sadly " Just one more then" he says in a gravely voice before pulling her face to his and kissing her senseless, his fingers threading through her hair. As quickly as he had kissed her , he left soon after , longing present in his eyes. Reba sank down onto the couch on shaky legs, falling to sleep was a bit difficult that night but she managed, having many wet dreams about how she could have just let him take her, if she hadn't had any morels.
