Don't mention it (Daryl x Reader)

|~The new arrival~| (1)

The timid gray sky shone shyly over the messy green grass of the field that bordered the forest. The leaves rustled lightly in the winter wind. A figure stumbled out, brushing past the leaves and the twigs, the figure began to grumble as if trying to remember words.

The thing growled, bearing its grotty teeth, blood stained them as small bit of flesh and skin wedged themselves between the teeth. It's eyes dull yet bloodshot, no life flickered in them, no remorse or guilt was shown in them.

The skin was clumped and in wrinkles, it hung loosely round the bones of the creature, the clothes shaggy and tatted. Its hair was almost gone, only a few clumps of messed up brown hair remained on the deceased scalp, and even that was matted beyond repair.

Suddenly, the decrepit human like creature was budged to the side as a girl  ran past, the zombie like creature took a moment to register before reaching out to grab the girl, it reached it decrepit creeping hands towards her.

"No you don't" She said slipping out of its way before its scaly unclean hand could wrap around her wrist.

The girl wore a baby pink floor length dress, the tool of the skirt made it fluffy, the bodice was in the form of a corset with silk flowers scattered along, the sleeves fell loosely onto her shoulders, a couple flowers in shades of pastel yellow and blue were scattered across them. Her hair was in an elegant bun that had become slightly messy due to her running frantically.

She held her dress up slightly so she could run better, her feet bore no shoes or socks, she most likely wore heels before she discarded them. She ran quickly, a couple of those snarling creatures followed her.

Dust from the road whirred around as bike tires sped down, the engine's loud roar shut off suddenly. The man who sat on top the bike slowly and cautiously got off, raising his weapon, scanning the area. 

The rugged man currently stood at the edge of a forest on a road, just after that forest lay the meadow the girl in the formal ball dress was sprinting across.

The gruff man lay his bike down gently before covering it a large branch that had been abandoned at the side of the road. He made his way into the lush green forest, the birds sung sweetly distracting people from the messed up human like creatures inside.

The tall gruff man began to walk carefully through the woods, scanning the floor as if looking for something, suddenly his eyes landed on a rabbit that was laying limp, caught in a trap

"Well hello dinner" He said keeping his frown as he stared at the dead animal, his voice deep and rough.

Snap

A twig broke in the distant followed by leaves rustling quickly approaching the man who now rose his weapon pointing it in the direction of the fast approaching thing.

A girl ran through the bushes, the bottom of the dress turned brown due to mud, ignoring the mans presence, she bumped into him 

"Sorry, but I gotta run" She spoke quickly pushing past, he turned still shocked grabbing her wrist 

"Hey!" He said annoyed "Why you dressed like that" Looking her up and down he noticed the ridiculous clothing choice.

"Zombies. People. Bad." She said frantically trying to remover herself from the mans grip, suddenly growling came from behind the two, giving and annoyed look he dragged the girl to the left and back towards the road

"Come on, you need help" He said annoyed dragging her towards his bike, she looked in protest before giving a look of 'it's better than here'.
