As I get up the next morning I slide my tank top and my camo trousers before I start to walk downstairs grabbing my silenced 1911 , my 50 cal , M4 and a few pistols ,knives and rifles to train Beth . I throw the assorted items in the back of the car sliding my pistol and Bowie knife into their respective sheaths and holsters .
As I'm waiting I see Beth walking out with a bag over back being followed by Maggie , she looked happy for the first time in while . I grab her back throwing it in the bag and kiss her smiling "morning princess " I say as she giggles hugging me before climbing in my car .
As we start the drive towards my cabin I smile to Beth "it feels good getting away from the prison for once , just a few days with me and you " I say smiling as she nods ."now we will get settled in and I'll teach you a few knife trick and where to stab the walkers that will kill them instantly " I say as she lays her head back against the car's headrest
"Yeah sure Dom you're the expert " she says as I see her looking at my arm .
"Are you looking at the scar on my arm " I say flipping my arm over on the gear stick to reveal a huge scar going down it .
"Yeah how the hell did that happen " she asked smiling .
"Well an RPG hit my squads humvee and a huge bit of shrapnel got embedded in my arm " I say as I see her run her fingers along the stitching
"Jesus ,you and getting hurt " she giggles shaking her head .
After I pass the marker showing me we are halfway to the cabin and that we have been driving for half a day , I look over at Beth smiling as I see he asleep her chest rising and falling calmly "damn , how did I get so luckily " I smiling looking over at her before continuing the rest of the drive to the cabin .
As we arrive at my old camp I see not much has changed , I kill a few walkers that are impaled on the spikes before driving the skyline next to the cabin getting out noticing Beth is still asleep , I walk round her passenger side door opening it and shaking her leg "Beth babe " I say as suddenly see her eyes snap open and her knife against my throat "well that was a surprise " I say giggling as I help her out the car .
As we start to unload the stuff I hear a whimper coming from the cabin "hey Beth stay here " I say as I pull my M4 out of the boot of the car passing Beth my 1911 , I slowly step into the cabin opening the doors till I see laying next to my planning board is the wolf that kept watching me the past few months .
I lower my rifle as I see it's hurt , the first thing that catches my eyes is the huge gash down its leg . As I call Beth in I get sometime to get the first look at him , he has black fur all over and white paws just like my grandfather's pet wolf shadow .
As Beth walks in, I see her lock her eyes on the wolf as soon as she walks in "can you help him? , he's hurt and to be honest I don't know shit about cleaning and wrapping up the gash " I smile as I give the wolf's belly a scratch "wonder why he kept following me " I announce .
"Sure Dom , he's cute " she responds smiling as she walked back out to the car to get medical supplies . After half an hour Beth walks back into the kitchen "I have cleaned , stitched and wrapped up his leg , he should be fine as long as he rests she announced as she sat next to me .
While Beth had been helping shadow as I was calling the wolf now , I had moved the mattress back into the normal bedroom on the bed frame and out of the backroom on the floor where I had slept before .
"So we have beans for dinner " Beth says as she opens a cold can of beans giving me a bowl , as I start eating Beth looks at me.
"What ?" I ask smirking
"I always meant to ask , do you have a family back home in Britain dom ? " she asked smiling as she came and sat on my lap .
"Yes I do " I say as I pull a folded up picture out of my pocket putting it on the table .
The picture even though it's old and torn shows the cable family , Dominic is standing in his military uniform with his dad on his right who looks in his 60s and has jet black hair and brown eyes , on the left of Dominic is his mom who looks in her 50s with blonde hair and blue eyes . In the centre of the picture on top of Dominic's shoulders is his younger sister , she looks about 12 with her mums blonde hair and her dad's brown eyes .
"This is my father Damien on the right , my mother Amanda on the left and my little sister Jessica " I say smiling as I look at the picture sighing .
"Your family looks cute Dominic , when was this taken ? She asked .
"This was taken when I first joined the SAS " I say as I hook my arm round her waist placing my head on her shoulder .
"Well let's go to bed " I say as I point the bed out to her and go to walk into the back room happy to sleep on the floor
"Dominic where you going to the bed is over here " she says smiling .
"I-I ummm , you know what never mind " I say smiling as I slip my tank top off and combat boots slipping into bed behind Beth my arm wrapping round her waist protectively .
The next morning I roll over and suddenly jump up realising Beth's not in bed behind me when I see her sitting on the floor stroking the sleeping form of shadow , I quietly slip on my boots and tank top walking over as I tap her on the back and laugh seeing her jump .
"Not funny Dom!" she says poking me chest as I laugh .
"It is !" I say laughing as I kiss on lips before grabbing a few weapons out my backpack for training today .
"How is he ? " I question smiling as I sit next to her .
"He's healing fine , but he came out whimpering so I change his bandage and he fell asleep in my lap " she says smiling as I begin stroking him hearing his low growls as he slept .
"Ready to begin training?" I ask as she picks up shadow placing back in the room before walking outside to meet me next to one of the spikes with a walker impaled on it .
"Now you always want to aim for the brain , there's a few different ways , like this " I say as I pull his head up by the hair and slam my Bowie knife into his skull and then brain "that's a direct way try it " I encourage pointing to a walker impaled a bit down .
As we walk down I hand her a knife from my pack , I watch as she pulls its head up and thrusts the knife in the head killing it "good Beth " I encourage smiling "now let me show you a more close and personal way of killing them " I added as we walked out into the woods .
As we got out into the woods I spot a lone walker "perfect" I growl as I walk up to it "now Beth watch " I say as I walk up to it thrusting my through its chin into the brain "now doing this the blade can get stuck so use some leverage or do this " I say as I kick the walk so my knife slides out its chin and it falls back .
"Your turn" I encourage seeing another walker stumbling towards us , I watch as Beth walks toward it and it grabs her but she uses her weight against it thrusting her knife through its chin and into the brain before kicking it back . She turns round smiling at me before jumping In my arms .
"I'm happy you can protect yourself against walkers but humans is a different thing and for another time " I say kissing her head before pulling the stock m4 off my shoulder.
"Now Rick told me at your father farm you was decent with a pistol, so I thought I'd teach you how to use a M4 like I use " I say as I walk over showing her how to hold and putting the stock against her shoulders standing behind her as I help her look down the sights "now we are going to keep it on single shot for now " I encourage.
I nod to Beth as I stand behind her and watch as she pulls the trigger and watch as it kicks back into her shoulder "good, good now you have the hang of it let's put it up to automatic " I say switching firing modes and standing behind her "now pull the trigger don't worry I'll be here so if it kicks back too much I'll stop you" i say as I nod to her and she pulls the trigger , the rifle kicking back into her shoulder before she stops .
"Awesome Beth " I encourage as I walk over taking the rifle from her hands and kissing her , as we are kissing gunfire and shouts can be heard in the distance "shit the prison " I say my eyes widened as we ran back to the cabin throwing everything in the car , I watch as Beth loaded the car . I ran indoors leaving some food and water out for shadow .
I walked into shadows room petting him "sorry boy me and Beth have to go home , stay here as along as you need " i apologised before running out to the car throwing my guns on the back and began to drive home at a faster speed than before .
As me and Beth approached the prison we saw Rick talking to some of the group , while a truck was loaded up with bodies "Jesus , what the hell happened Rick " I called out before he told to stay back .
"There's a disease going around killing people , one of the cell blocks was compromised " he sighed looking at us .
"Fuck , can't we get a break " I snarl before I tell Beth to go to the area with the rest of the people at risk .
"Beth , look i'll come get you after " I say as I kiss her seeing her hesitant look in her eyes before she walks towards the admissions area .
"You shout go there as well Dominic , you not infected " Rick announced looking at me .
"Fuck that , I'll be more help out here if governor comes back plus good luck getting me to go in there " I say as I walk over to my tower pulling my balaclava over my face to give me some more protection against the disease .
I go to the council meeting hearing that they are moving all the infected into death row , listing to them say about finding a hospital or a some place to get medical supplies "i'll take all the watch and fence clearing shifts " I say as I look at everyone and nod walking out to go back to my tower and vowing not to let this prison fall on my watch …...
