there won’t be anything that either one of us can do.”He rubbed his hands together. He didn’t think that she was aware of what would happen. He laughed a little. “Don’t worry, dear. I have a lot of experience hiding, remember?”She nodded and then hugged him tightly. “Bye, daddy.”“Bye, honey. Take care of your mom, okay? I love you.”She let go of him quickly and walked to the living room window where her mom was sitting. “Love you, too, dad. See ya.”He smiled and then walked towards the elevator and rode it all the way downstairs. The doors opened, revealing the parking garage. He walked out to his car and got in. He checked his phone for any messages and then pulled it away from his ear as it vibrated violently. He looked at who was texting him.‘Hey! It’s me, Alex. You haven’t shown up at school, and no one knows where you went either. Have you forgotten our date tonight?’ ‘Damnit, man!’ he thought. ‘What the fuck am I supposed to say, Alex?!’‘Tell me your plans, then!’‘No w
Carol decided to take a quick shower, to try and relax herself. While she was standing under the warm water, trying to get rid of some of the grime from the past few weeks, she reflected on what Daryl had told her about her brother and sisters. She couldn’t imagine what a hard time they must have been having after so long. But somehow, he still kept his head held high. Every day when she saw him doing chores around the camp, she was surprised that he could still be so strong and determined despite everything he had been through. She wished she had more confidence in herself.***About half an hour later, Carol walked out of the bathroom and into the main room, drying her damp hair with the towel. She stopped in surprise when she realised that there was now a second person in the room, sitting on the sofa watching TV with his back turned towards her. Upon hearing her footsteps, he looked over his shoulder at her. Carol couldn’t believe her eyes. There sitting opposite to him with his b
The decision was made for him when another knock was heard at the door. He froze, not even daring to breathe as he listened to see what was going on outside. Another knock followed shortly thereafter and he cursed under his breath angrily before making his way to the door, opening it to reveal Carol. He raised an eyebrow in confusion upon noticing her. “Uh, hey. What are you doing here? Thought you were supposed to be asleep or something,” he remarked as he allowed her into his apartment.“You were right. I guess I did fall asleep, but not until very late at night. Did you call me at this hour just because you wanted to tell me goodbye?” Carol inquired with a slight tone of amusement in her voice. Daryl shrugged indifferently. “Well, if that’s true, then why don’t you come with me for breakfast? We can go somewhere after your shift ends,” Carol offered.At her words, Daryl suddenly became aware of how hungry he was; his stomach growled quietly in response. ‘That was qui
“We’re here,” Carol informed him, pointing ahead to their destination.Daryl stopped momentarily, glancing up at the building, trying to process everything at once. A restaurant, a small restaurant called ‘Fancy Dan’, sat in front of them. He had never been there, but apparently his mother and aunt would often take their meals there.“Uh…” He trailed off as he tried to search for the right words to say next. He didn’t know what to say; he didn’t know what to do. He had already decided what to do when he arrived at Lori’s apartment and made up his mind to tell her everything about Carol, about the baby, about what had happened in his apartment that morning. Yet now that they’re here, and standing in front of the restaurant that he would soon begin living in, Daryl didn’t know what to say. All he knew was that he wanted to say something, anything; that he wished he hadn’t left.Carol cleared her throat to snap him out of his thoughts, causing him to turn his head to her and stare in her
555 – J.R’. She looked up at the sky for a moment and let out a sigh. She supposed that it was now or never. As she stood before the bunker, preparing herself mentally, she could hear some sort of faint noise coming from somewhere inside. She took a deep breath before knocking softly against the door with a hesitant, timid fist. Within seconds, she heard footsteps approaching; whoever was there paused for a brief moment before the door swung open silently. She looked into the face of a woman, dressed in overalls, holding a gun. "Can I help you?" She asked, staring down curiously at Carol. "Yes. My name's Carol." Carol responded hesitantly. The woman nodded her head slightly. "I need you to tell me where Daryl Dixon is."The woman’s brow furrowed and she lowered her gun slightly, lowering her head slightly as though confused. “Are you…are you talking about the boy in the bunker?” She asked Carol, her tone hesitant, not quite certain whether or not she should give h
Eric stood in the dark hallway with his heart beating faster by the silence that surrounded him. He knew one thing, none of this was real. He starts to explore the dark hotel hallway and he walks past two doors on the left and right. A strange feeling comes over him as he reaches the end and he opens the door closest to him and steps out. The room is a little bigger than the rest and has three other doors along the left and right walls. There’s another small door on the back side, which Eric assumes will lead to the bathroom but there’s no knob or handle on this door so he doesn’t try opening it. Eric goes into the next room, the last door on the left-hand wall. This room too is a lot smaller than the others so when he gets inside he sees why it had been locked. It looks like a cell with a cot, toilet,t, and sinks in it, only this cell isn’t made entirely of brick, there’s a metal frame on each corner and it looks like this place is built in an industrial setting. The lights are turn
The moon shines upon the garden of the orphanage, while Emily sits on the bench watching and feeling the rhythm of the night breeze. She feels alone, but not lonely. The sound of chirping birds reminds her that there is more than one way out of this place—and she will get back to it. She can’t stay here forever. But how does one escape from a cursed place? She tries to imagine what would happen if she tried walking away from it with everyone else. How could she ever get away with leaving this place behind without the help of an exorcist or witch? She knows it won’t work like that for any of them, not even for her. If she were to walk away right now, then all hope would be lost. And she couldn’t bear to think about leaving anyone behind who isn’t willing to give up their lives to make sure that she succeeds. She’d do anything for us, but it’s hard to see how she could ever accomplish something with no one supporting her. So she needs to get out somehow and figure this out first. But
“Sorry girls, I just need to be alone for now" she replies in a broken state while looking at the none resistant eyes of the little girls. She was trying not to cry but was failing miserably by the end. She walks through the halls aimlessly, her head low and her mind in turmoil. She needed time to sort out what the hell had happened but she knew that wasn’t an option here. It would just mean more time away from these children’s concerned eyes. She stops at one of the windows to look outside; the moonlight was falling heavily as usual in this part of town. There was nothing special about this particular window though, it looked exactly like all other ones around her. However, she noticed something different this time around. The trees were swaying back and forth slightly; almost like there was some kind of wind coming from behind them. It was odd enough for her to have stopped to look. “Everything we dreamt and built together is all crumbling," she says while holding her locket
