Chapter 7:
Killer Within
She ran as fast as she could, Crimson blood poured out of her forehead, almost soaking her face in a thick coat of blood- her blood. She stumbled around in the darkness, the moonlight guiding her throughout the tangle of trees and shrubs. Her lungs gasped for air, her legs was aching to take a rest, but she couldn't stop.
Not here, not now.
She kept her hand pressed over her wound on her forehead in an attempt to stop the bleeding, but it didn't seem to be doing much good. She could still feel the warm liquid leaking through the gaps of her fingers. She stopped when she reached the side of a road and looked behind her and sighed when she see no walkers, but she can still heard them
"Hey!" looking in front of her, she saw a truck stopped just right in front of her. "Hop on!" She hesitantly eyed the truck and glancing between the forest and the truck. She finally rushed over to the truck, the door opening for her to jump in. She slid in and slammed the door before they drove off.
Her rescuer was a man, probably in his early thirties. His hair was dark and shaggy, his face covered in stubble, his eyes were dark brown. He was tall and well-built. He looked over to her, his eyes searching her figure
"You bit?"
She shook her head.
"What's with the blood?"
"Fell over when the walkers chase me and hit her head"
"Walkers? That what you call them?" he smiled, seems a little bit amused.
"Well what do you call them?"
He kept his eyes on the road now. "Bitters" he shrugged. "You got a group?"
She nodded. "But we were separatted" she explained
"Is that so...?"
"How about you?" she questioned "You got a group?"
"Yeah, there are many of us, some families... children, women, men and many more" he shrugged, without her knowing, he smirked silently
He stopped the truck by a camp site, a group of men were around a fire."I thought you said there are children and women?" She asked cautiously, still sitting in the car as she eyed the man
He opened the door and got out. "Yeah, we were scouting. The rest are somewhere else." he told her before closing the door.
With a deep breath she got out, following the towards the rest of the guys "Well, well, well, Drew" one of the men stood up, looking towards them "You brought a friend?"
"Found her at the side of the roads, maybe chased by bitters. Saved her."
Their eyes were staring at her in a way that made her shift uncomfortably. "Saved her huh?" another man stepped forward. He lifted her chit with his finger "Think she owes you"
She quickly stepped back in alarm. They all laughed as they started to circled around her. One grabbed her from behind and as she struggled against him another grabbed her legs. "Let me go!" she screamed thrashing her body around.
It was no use.
There were three of them and she has no power left in her. They were holding her tightly "Tie her up." Her eyes started to filled with tears as they started to tie her up and gag her. They tied her hands together, tying the rope onto a branch of a tree, her arms above her head.
"Who wants first shot?" one of them asked, all of them looking down at her with hungry eyes.
The person who saved her stepped up first and he grabbed her shirt and used her knife to tear it, exposing her soft skins. Leaning forward he licked her neck down to the valley of her chest "How does she taste?"
"Hurry up, I wanna go next."
All the men cheered and yelled behind him.
"Please stop" she begged "Please" she cried
"Rosalyn!" A voice screamed, echoing in her head
"It won't take long, don't worry" the man huskily said as he pulled his pants down. He reached out onto her pants and started to unbuttoned the buttons.
"PLEASE!" she screamed loudly
"Rosalyn!" It screamed again, this time closer and louder. She could felt her body being rocked by somebody. Rosalyn continued to whimper as her breath turn into short pants "Wake up dammit!"
"Rosalyn!"
"Please stop!" Rosalyn jolted awake and her eyes shot open too see Daryl towering over her. His icy blue eyes filled with concern as he continue shaking her shoulder in an attempt to wake her up. While he didn't let it show, he was worried. He didn't remember her ever being such a heavy sleeper.
As soon as she recognize him, Rosalyn threw her arms around him and pulled him into a tight hug as she sat on his lap and silently sobbed. His muscular arms wrapped around her protectively as she continue to cried into his chest. He rested his chin on the top of her head and he gently rocked her back and fourth.
"Calm down, it's only a dream." He whispered.
Daryl pulled her trembling body back closer into him and caressed her hair slowly. The sound of hurried footsteps caught Daryl's ears as he looked over to their shoulders towards the doorway just as Rick, Lori and Nicole arrived.
"What's goin' on?" Rick questioned Daryl as he glanced at Rosalyn who's still weeping in his arms
"She had nightmare..." Nicole muttered the answer before Daryl could say a word "Didn't she...?"
He frowned before nodding slightly
"It's alright..." Nicole nodded to Rick and Lori "I'll take care of the rest"
"You sure?" Lori asked worriedly
"Yes" Nicole nodded as Lori and Rick exchanged look and nodded at each other.
"Tell us if you need anything" Rick said
Nicole nodded as Lori and Rick started to walk off. As soon as they were out of her sight, she went to Rosalyn side and patted her on the shoulder "Rosalyn... It's okay, they are not here anymore... they won't hurt you... plus Daryl is here, he won't let anyone to touch you again, alright?"
'Again? What does she mean by again?' he thought. Rosalyn is still sobbing and her body was still trembling in fear as she continued to grip on Daryl shirt.
"Daryl, you stay with her, alright?" Nicole asked him as he nodded "You'll know what happened soon... If you need me I'll be in my cell"
Nicole gave a relieved sigh as she removed her hand from her shoulder and patted Daryl's shoulder in encouragement "I'm counting on you" she muttered as she walked out of the cell. After minutes of crying into his chest, her sobs finally died away leaving her sniffling and wiping her puffy eyes.
"Well.. you okay?" he asked, breaking the awkward silence that had fallen over the cell.
"I'm fine... more or less" she muttered. She ran a tired hand over her face. She slowly got off of his lap and tossed her legs off the bed so that she was sitting on the edge and leaned forward so that she was supported by her forearms "…I'm sorry you had to see that."
"It's alright" he nodded before pausing for a moment "Did something bad happened when you were out there?"
"Yeah..."
"Wanna talk 'bout it?" Daryl asked
"Not really..." she muttered as she breathed out "But you could say I'm suffering a trauma... a really bad ones"
"Is it that bad...?" he asked "You know... walkers?"
"No... worse" she bit her lip "I almost got raped..." she finally admitted heavily. Daryl could feel his heart sank into his stomach. A part of him almost died when he heard her words, he looked over to her who's looking at the ground
"W-Who- what-" Daryl took a deep breath as he tried to calm his angered breath "They... didn't get to do anythin', right?"
Rosalyn nodded slowly "They just manage to took my clothes off..." she muttered as Daryl's blood boiled in anger. He finally sighed heavily and hung his head low and his shoulder trembles slightly "I'm sorry..." his voice almost broke
"Daryl..." Rosalyn muttered sadly
"I shouldn't have left ya..." he buried his face into his hand as he continued to mutter "Sorry... It's my fault"
She looked over to him and took his hand which making him to look up to her "No Daryl... It was my choice... remember?" she shook her head and smiled gently at him "It's not your fault... don't you ever think it was your fault... okay?"
"But-"
Rosalyn boldly cut him off by sealing his lips with hers. As they part away, she rested her forehead on his "No buts Daryl... Just this once, alright?" she muttered as Daryl paused for a moment. He looked into her constellation-blue eyes and nodded slowly
"I told ya... you're not invincible" he mumbled which making Rosalyn to pause and laughed lightly
She pecked him on the lips once more "You're so sweet, you know that?" she grinned as she pulled away from him
He scoffed at her "Shut up" He blinked, seeming to remember something. "Anyway..." He reached into his shirt for the tags that were still around his neck and pulled the chain from his neck and hold the necklace out to her. "Here."
She blinked several times "No you can keep them" she smiled
"You sure?"
"Yeah..." she paused and blushed "I was planning on giving it to you anyway..."
"What?" Daryl asked almost bashfully before frowning in confuse
Rosalyn hesitate for a moment before taking out the same necklace-except hers was a lock not a key- from her pocket and held it out to him "Um... so my family has a... thing for-uh... couple necklace..." she paused to look at Daryl who still frowning at her "So I want to give you one... and it was actually a message for you- I engraved it myself"
Daryl looked at the necklace "Thank you for being beside me?" he questioned with a frown "Seriously?"
"Mm-hm" she nodded as she averted her eyes from his. His expression had turned serious again, but there was still amusement in his eyes.
He suddenly flicked her forehead and looked away from her "I should be the one who write that" he mumbled
"Ow..." she pouted as she held her forehead "You're so mean"
He snorted at her comment and took the necklace from her hand before he took out a nail(not the one from your fingers, alright... Don't think it was a nail from your fingers... just don't) "You got nails in your pocket..? Seriously Daryl?" She raised her eyebrow in amusement
"Shut up" he mumbled as he started to engrave something on the plate of the tags
"Huh?" Rosalyn frowned as she leaned towards her only to be blocked by his hand "I want to see"
"No" he grunted as she pouted and leaned back before she sighed. She just watched him with an amused look on her face as he seriously stared at the tags. Suddenly he stopped and slid the chain into her head before tucking it into her shirt
"What did you wrote?" she asked, reaching out to see the necklace, but Daryl stopped her
"Not now" he mumbled embarrassed
She blinked "Why..?" Rosalyn almost laughed at Daryl's annoyed look as she nodded in understanding "Fine"
"We are getting ready to go out and get everything settled" Daryl informed her as he got up"Get your ass out there after you change"
He pushed himself to his feet and pushed her forehead with his hand before he walked out of the cell. "He's so mean" Rosalyn shook her head and smiled at his retreating figure.
She took out the necklace and read tag, it was a sloppy writing, but she can still read them 'The world has changed since I met you, Idiot'-Daryl Dixon' Rosalyn laughed at this and smiled "He's still trying to be mean when he is so sweet" she muttered
Rosalyn stared at the tags once more time lovingly before tucking it into her shirt.
