Hello there!
I am looking for a beta, so if anyone is reading this story and is interested in helping me, please sent me a message or review :)
Danielle's POV.
"Okay Belle, this is the last house we are going to search". We decided that before we went to sleep, we wanted to find the tools to make our new 'home' safer. In the first house we only found a walker family and a small generator. We had to put them down because Belle was scared they would come to our shelter if we left them here. I agreed with her and we killed them. Well in fact they are already dead, but they're still walking so I never know what to say. When we were done we brought them to the backyard and buried them. I'd get the generator later. In the third house we found a couple wooden planks and a hammer, so we only have to find some nails. We arrive at the last house. It is a really big house. "Oh I always wanted to life in a big house like this" I hear Belle whisper. "No thanks" I whisper back. "Why not?" "I always liked the cozy houses" I say with a smile. It reminds me of my grandpa. After grandma died he moved to a small house at a lake. It was a beautiful house made out of wood. I always loved to sleep over at that house. We would play and swim all day and in the evening he would make chocolate milk for us and watch a kids movie. "Well I love big houses, I used to always watch cribs on MTV. I loved that show" Belle snaps me out of my thoughts. "Maybe we can find some dvd's so we can watch them on the tv. There is a small generator in the first house" "Oh that would be great!" Belle says and gets big eyes. "But first we go in the garage to find tools we need" I say and turn towards the garage."Alright, let's do it" Belle agrees and follows my lead.
I walk towards the garage door and put my ear to the door. I hear nothing. I reach for the door knob and slowly open the door. There is nobody in the garage. I look around and see a big workbench. I walk to it and see all kinds of tools. "Wow, well what do we need?" Belle stands next to me and opens some drawers. "Well first we need a lot of nails, take as much as you can find. And if you see something you think might come handy you take it" Belle nods and looks around. I look to the tools on the wall. So many tools and from the half of them I don't even know what it is for. I grab some screwdrivers, a saw and a garden scissor. "What's that for?" Belle walks back with a plastic bag in her hand and starts to put the nails in it. "I thought maybe we can take it apart and then we have two big knives" I answer and look what tool I need to do that. "Hmm, smart". After a couple minutes we have put everything in our backpacks and move to the door that leads to the house. I take my katana in my hand and open the door. We enter a kitchen. It's a big mess. "I think someone came here first" Belle whispers and walks to the next door. She opens it and we see a walker in the living room. I look to the hallway and see there is another door leading to that room. I start to walk through the hallway without making any sound and let Belle know she has to go to the walker. I see the walker though a glass door that splits the living room in half. I walk to the door and knock on it. The walker sees me and walks to the glass door. Belle follows it and just before the walker reaches the door Belle kills it. The walker falls on the ground. I open the door and help Belle with dragging the body to the garage.
"Good job" I compliment Belle. "You too" she answers and walks back to the hall. We went upstairs but didn't find anything there. No walkers, no nothing. I walk back to the garage and exit the house. Belle walks besides me and we head home. Belle found two James Bond films but we decide we can watch those later. I take out the tools and the wooden planks. I secure the front door and windows first. After the fourth window I'm out of wood so I go back inside.
I walk down to the basement and see Belle concentrating on taking the garden scissors apart. "Hey" I say and sit down next to her. "Hey" she says back and puts the scissors aside. "We make a really good team you know" she says and turns to look at me. "Yes we do" I say back with a smile. "Do you want to talk about the nightmares you keep having?" I say and look her in her eyes. She looks down and starts fumbling at her shirt. "Yeah, I'd like that". She takes a deep breath and looks up. "They are about my dad. I told you that my camp was killed, my father was there too. We had an asshole in our group and he would always get drunk. One night he got into a fight with someone and started to make a lot of noise. He threw stuff around. In just a couple minutes walkers came from everywhere. We were surrounded and people started panicking. They shot around on everything that moved. They shot my dad." She took a break and I gave her a bottle of water. She takes a few sibs and continues. "I dragged him outside the camp and tried my best to nurse his wound. I keep dreaming of the part he tells me to leave. It starts with me helping him and then he shows me he got bit. He tells me to leave and.." She stumbles over her words and tears walk down her face. She comes closer to me and I put my arm around her shoulder. "I did. I walked away and heard his screams. And I keep hearing those screams. It is horrible" She puts her head on my shoulder. "I am so sorry that happened to you" I say and a tear escapes my eye. "Me too" Belle says and lets a big sigh escape. We sit in silence for minutes. I feel Belle relax in my arms and I see she fell asleep. I close my eyes and fall asleep as well.
