Chapter 14
Here is the latest chapter :) enjoy! xx
The Sun had gone down, and the sky filled with millions of stars. An eerie silence fell upon the farm, as a strange mist descended. Forcing the survivors inside.
Lori and Carol prepared dinner for everyone, whilst the rest divided into different activities. For example, the kids both engaged in a chess game that was lying around on the living room table. Shane and Rick spoke about their previous years working as cops, while Dale read a book. Andrea kept to herself, thinking about her recently lost sister, Amy.
Glenn listened to Brooke, as she described some of the photo's and memories of her past.
"You sounded like a very strange child," Glenn joked, taking a swig of beer from the bottle he had in his possession.
"Sounded like?" Brooke laughed, holding her wine glass loosely. "I still am, haven't changed. Well, despite everything that's happened I may not be as crazy as I used to be."
"Yeah, that's a given," Glenn gave a small nod, as they both gave a small laugh.
"The weather looks horrible outside," Brooke commented, noticing the dark gloomy weather outside the window. Glenn turned and shivered slightly in fear, but tried to keep it together in front of Brooke, not wanting her to believe he was a coward, even if he knew he wasn't.
"Good thing we're inside," he shrugged with a cheeky smile. Brooke brushed her hand back through her hair, before seeing Carol had a plate in her hand.
"Just going to take this to Daryl," she smiled. Brooke immediately put down her wine glass.
"No, that's okay, I can take it," Brooke insisted, a little too enthusiastically. Which formed a grin on Glenn's face. "What?"
"Eager," he laughed, which Brooke felt her cheeks heat up from.
"I am not," she held up nose up high dramatically, taking the plate up the stairs. Glenn gave an amused laugh to himself as he and Carol went to the dinner table.
"Daryl?" Brooke knocked on the door. There was a slight pause before she heard a groan like reply from the inside, so opened the door to see Daryl fiddling with some string he found. This amused Brooke as she brought the food to his bed, noticing Daryl didn't even take his eyes off the string he was fiddling with. "Dinner," she chirped, happily, placing the food on the bed side table.
Daryl took a second to take one look at the food, then back at his string.
"Thanks," he muttered.
"You alright?" Brooke asked, starting to wonder why he was being so quiet.
"Bored as hell," he muttered again. Brooke started to feel bad that he was left out, or not able to do the usual things that kept him entertained.
"Well, how's your leg doing? Can you walk?"
"Yeah, ya' seen me walk."
"Want to come downstairs then?" Brooke offered, which Daryl immediately rose from the bed to.
"Well, if I have ya' permission," Daryl mocked, his smirk finally returning. Which pleased Brooke. She picked up the tray once more and walked with Daryl down the stairs, the rest shocked to see him up and about.
"Ya' leg's all better, I'm guessin'?" Rick asked from across the table, where Daryl took a seat.
"S'fine," Daryl replied. "Would take a lot worse to keep me down."
"I wouldn't put all ya' faith on that," Shane muttered, but loud enough for Daryl to hear, and frown at. Brooke placed Daryl's food in front of him and sat down opposite him.
The dinner table had an awkward silence, all that was heard was the clanging of forks as they picked up the food.
"What was that?" Glenn asked, sounding freaked out. Everyone's attention obtained from this random outburst, they saw the fear in his eyes.
"What was what?" T-Dog asked, trying to follow his gaze, which was staring at the window.
"I-I saw something move outside," Glenn stuttered. Brooke looked at everyone, then down at her plate.
Carl looked a bit scared as Lori placed a comforting hand upon his, Lori's panicked eyes locked with Rick and Shane, who both got up and looked out the window.
All felt their heartbeats pick up the pace, wondering and praying that Glenn just imagined something. Both cops looked, but the weather made it very difficult to see.
"See anything?" Daryl asked, making sure he could locate his cross bow in case needed.
"Too dark," Shane replied. "Nothing movin' though."
A creak at the front door, stopped everyone's heartbeats for a second. Rick held his finger to silence everyone, as footsteps were heard, stepping down the hallway, slowly.
Brooke watched, she knew something bad was coming but didn't want to frighten the kids more than they already were. She saw Carol hug Sophia closely, and the fear in everyone's faces. It tore her apart inside.
Around the corner, a strange sound was heard. Like a squelching sound. A putrid smell followed, which could only mean one thing. The answer revealed itself as a Walker limped into the dining room area. Causing Sophia to scream in fear, setting the Walker off, as it growled approaching the table.
Everyone scattered, Rick and Shane grabbing the chairs and using them to bash the Walker back away from everyone, letting them escape. Daryl picked up his cross bow, and steadily aimed it.
"Come on!" Lori cried to the remaining males. They made sure the Walker was down long enough for them to get far enough away.
Brooke froze in place, staring at the down Walker. More started entering after it, which Brooke widened her eyes in fear at. It was only until Glenn grabbed her arm that she finally moved. As they both ran to the others who were exiting through the back door.
Daryl tried to mind the rear, but Carol pushed him forward, not wanting him to risk anymore injuries. The kids were kept in the middle, so they were safe.
"Rick! Where do we go?" Lori cried, growing hysterical at their situation. Rick assessed the situation before coming to an conclusion.
"We need to get out of here! Get to the cars!" Rick commanded, having to shoot a fast Walker who was gaining on them.
All made a quick dash to their vehicles, Brooke almost dropped to the ground, if wasn't for Glenn pulling her, she probably would have. Her body couldn't grasp what was happening, the panic screams of the kids and commands coming from the males, it seemed if everything was going in slow motion. Thankfully everything was in the RV, or they would have had to leave quite a few things behind.
As all got into the vehicles, they all quickly drove off. Not looking back.
In the RV sat Dale, who was driving, Glenn, Brooke, Daryl, Andrea, Carol and Sophia.
"Where are we going to go?" Glenn asked, trying to catch his breath. As the others discussed this, Brooke remained silent, staring at the ground. Daryl looked round and noticed her looking troubled, as he was about to ask her something, Andrea swooped in.
"What the hell was that?" she snapped down at Brooke.
"What?" Brooke looked up confused, but frowning at Andrea's tone.
"What do you mean, What?" Andrea spat. "You lied to us! You said no one ever went there, you nearly got us all killed!" Brooke looked down and scoffed at Andrea, which angered her. "Answer me!"
"What do you want me to say?" Brooke stood up to Andrea. "What are you expecting me to say to you, about all of this?"
"I would like to know, why the safe farm, wasn't all you said it was." Brooke kept silent, not knowing how to answer, this angered Andrea, she began pacing in anger.
"Andrea, I know you don't like me much, that's probably because Amy died when I got here-"
"Don't you dare bring Amy up!" Andrea barked, striking Brooke around the face, shocking all in the RV. "You have no right to bring Amy up! She had nothing to do with you!"
"Calm down!" Dale barked back from the driving seat. "Andrea, back off! Just leave each other alone until we reach a safe spot!"
Andrea scowled at everyone before heading off to the other end of the RV. Brooke was still in shock. Daryl didn't know what to say to Brooke after that, he could see something was wrong with her, so was best to leave her alone.
