their feet create a loud echoing noise throughout the hall, the quiet of the night washing away as their -his- feet advance towards my room, the sound of his work boots causing my skin to crawl as i clutch the blankets between my nimble fingers.
"perth~" he sings through the door "let me in baby girl"
"no, please don't" i hear my mother whimper back.
"back off lucille!" my dad yells "c'mon baby, come say hi to daddy"
i sob loudly and tuck my head under the blankets.
"ahhh, so you are awake" he chuckles "doesn't daddies little girl wanna come say hello? peerth~"
"please, neg-" my mother pleads only to be cut off by my father.
a loud 'slap' fills the hall.
"daddy! please stop!"
"c'mon perth!" he cackles, somewhat like an insane witch.
"perth~"
"perth.."
"perth!"
"PERTH!"
i sit up quickly, tears running down my face as daryl stands over me, hands resting on my shoulders.
"d-daryl?" i sob.
"yeah it me, shh, it's okay baby girl" he holds me close.
"where are we?" i ask, my thoughts still muddy from the nightmare- memory.
"we're still at the cdc, kid" he mumbles into my hair as he rubs my back.
"try to rest, okay?" he holds me close "i'll be right here"
i nod shakily, resting into his arms.
~~~
i rub my eyes sleepily, pushing my hair from my face.
i get up, limping over to the mirror as i look at the silver chain around my neck.
i have a strong feeling that daryl got it for me, only he calls me 'kid' and 'girl'.
i shut my eyes briefly, breathing through my nose carefully.
when i open my eyes there stands beth, a tray of food in her hands.
"hungry?"

"split up, look around, ya might find somethin' useful" shane says to the group, gesturing to the cars.
i hike my crossbow up my shoulder even further, holding the strap in place as i walk to a car, pushing the trunk open.
"hey, daryl!" the kid- perth, runs up to me "what ya doin?"
"lookin around" i said, waving towards the car "you can go look around too, just stay within my sight, girl"
"okay!" she smiles brightly "see you in a minute!"
"wouldn't want somethin' bad happenin' to ya" i mumble to myself.
i look up being met with the curious gaze of rick grimes himself.
"what?" i growl.
"nothin, you just seem to care about that girl a lot, don't ya?" rick smiles to me, stepping closer.
