Chupacabra
Daryl smirked and looked at her as they made up camp for the night. Beth was wearing glasses, something he found incredibly sexy as he started the fire. "So, what are we looking for?" she asked.
He sighed and started the fire. "Well, they like goats."
"We don't have a goat," she pointed out.
"I'm aware." He smirked and looked at her. "We're going to make dinner and sit here, and be quiet, and listen." She huffed and sat down beside him as the fire started to warm them up. He chuckled a little and put his arm around her. When he had mentioned going after the Chupacabra he hadn't expected Beth to agree to go with him, but yet, here she was. He kissed her head. "Don't worry, if it is out there, we'll find it."
She sighed a little and leaned in closer. "You're not planning on going after the Loch Ness monster too are you?"
He chuckled. "No, just Big Foot." When she looked at him like he was crazy he laughed. "I'm kidding. Just think of this as a camping trip. I don't actually think we're going to find it."
They both jumped when they heard a loud strange noise not far away. "You were saying?" Daryl grabbed his crossbow and got up.
"Stay close," he told her as they headed towards the noise. It was getting dark as they started to head in the direction of the noise. Beth stayed close to him and jumped when they heard the sound again. It sounded like a cat was dying beside a moose in heat. He narrowed his eyes as they got closer to the noise.
"What was that?" Beth screamed as something ran across the path in front of them.
Daryl shook his head. "I don't know." He aimed his crossbow at the bush it had ran into when they heard a dark, high pitched growling.
"I take it back, it's real, can we go now?" she asked. Daryl was about to drag her ass back to camp, pack up, and get the hell out of the woods when she screamed, whatever was hiding running out at them. Daryl shot it, pinning it to the ground.
He sighed and lowered his bow. "It's a fox, it's got rabies." He pulled his arrow out and threw the fox into the bushes. He turned and pulled Beth into him. "You okay?"
She shook her head. "I want to go home. Now."
Daryl nodded and led her back to camp. He was over his little thrill with the supernatural.
