Kayla's pov
We were at the front door and Rick turned,
"stay in formation."
We all nodded and daryl grabbed my arm from the back. I turned to him and he looked in my eyes and nodded. I smiled and nodded back. He walked up towards the front with Rick. Glen was in the middle, leaving me and Maggie in the back. The first door we went through was leading to cell block c. After clearing it we went and got the others.
"home sweet home" Glenn said.
"is it clear?" Lori asked.
"this block is." Rick replied.
daryls pov
Home sweet home" Glenn sighed.
I smirked a bit and threw my crossbow down while the others piled in. Rick explained,
" this will be our new home. Stay in this cell block. The others are not cleared so stay here. Now everyone pick their cells. We may need to share so Carl with Beth, carol with t dog, Maggie with Glenn, daryl with"
I interrupted, " I ain't sleepin in no cell, I'll take that perch."
"Looks like I got the perch to." Kayla said.
I looked over at her and gave her a smirk. Damn this girl did things to me and I accepted that. We all began to put our things up. I grabbed two mattresses out of a cell and put them side by side so it would make one bed. I looked up to see my girl standing there smiling. My girl. I loved that. She placed her bag down and sat on one of the mattresses. She sighed, holding her locket. I sat down nest to her,
"what ya thinking about?"
"Justin, dad, everything that's happened. Could we really be safe now?" She asked.
i lifted her chin up so she was looking in my eyes,
"ya ain't got nothin to worry bout. I want ya to stay here, take care of Carl till we get back."
She surprisingly didn't object, she just nodded. I smiled at her and kissed her forehead. As I began to walk away I heard,
"daryl?"
i turned to her,"ya?"
"be careful ok?" She whispered.
I nodded,"always am."
i started walking towards Rick and Carl who were arguing cause Carl wanted to come along.
"hey Carl, ya keep an eye on kayla for me?"
he smiled that smile that he only gets when kayla is mentioned,"ya! Where is she?"
i pointed towards the perch and he ran up to her.
rick looked over to me, "thanks"
i nodded and we started off into the other block.
(an hour later) Kayla's pov.
me and Carl have been playing cards for a while. I started getting worried about daryl. Plus Carl was kicking my ass.
"I win again!" He shouted.
"dammit Carl! Ya gotta be cheating some way!" I playfully punched him.
He just laughed. Then we heard screaming from downstairs. Not just any screams. screams of pure terror. we sprung up to our feet. I looked at Carl who had fear in his eyes,
"you stay here you hear me? Do not come out until someone comes to get you!"
He nodded and I ran downstairs unaware of what horror I would find.
