Don't mention it (Daryl x Reader)

|~Do You Remember?~|(39)

Yall are going to have to bear with me, my laptops broken so I've written this on my phone so it might have like alot of spelling errors

"Y/n! Watch out!" Daryl yelled as something came toppling over above me, a harsh pain hit my head, falling to the floor, my vision went black...

"You packed up then?" Glenn asked me as I placed my suitcase on my bed, he stood in my doorway, leaning against it, watching me pack, not helping, watching.

"Yeah, my dad wants me back home, says he has 'exciting news' " I explained to Glenn, passing him my suitcase, smiling smugly.

"I'll take this to the car then" He grumbled, clearly displeased I made him take it "Hey where's your dear old hubby?" He asked, I froze slightly.

"Away on business" I lied, following him out my apartment and down the gorgeous and extremely fancy marble hallways.

Arriving at my car, we placed the bags inside, I drove a gorgeous black 67 chevy impala.

"Thanks Glenn, hey, I'll call you when I get to my parents" I smiled at my best friend, kissing him on the cheek before I got into my car.

Fucking stupid traffic, I'd been stuck, not moving for almost a bloody hour now, why was Atlanta so busy?

I flicked my car radio over to the news to see if there had been an accident or something and that was causing the traffic.

"Virus running rampage through the country, it seems to be spurting rage into it's victims, they seem to be biting other people" The radio spoke, I rolled my eyes, turning it back to music.

"Fucking over dramatic bullshit" I mumbled, grabbing my phone, I decided to call my parents, telling them I wouldn't make dinner.

"I'm sorry, the number you called is no longer in operation, or the device has been destroyed" The woman on the phone spoke, I was slightly confused but shrugged it off.

Suddenly, a knock came from my window "Can I help you?" I asked the man standing outside it, rolling the window of my car down slightly.

"Hey, you know what's happening sweetheart?" the clearly older man asked "My grandkids are in the car scared shitless" He mumbled.

"The news is spurting some bull about cannibalism, and some virus, but don't worry sir, it's probably just an accident further up the road" I comforted the old man, looking over to the car next to me, I saw he had 3 little kids in the car and what looked to be his wife "Are they hungry? I packed some snacks for myself. " I offered the old man.

I ended up giving the kids some breakfast bars and getting to know the old couple, they were babysitting their grandkids and they were driving them back to their parents when they got stuck in this massive queue of traffic.

"Thank you Anna" I smiled at the wife as she handed me a bottled water from a massive pack she had in her car, we soon got to gossiping about random things as the kids fell asleep in the back, they had a baby a toddler and what looked to be a 7 year old, her husband who I'd learnt to be George was asking around to see what had happened.

A man with short grey hair was walking around, he wore a tank and a sleeveless leather jacket and a shit eating grin on his face.

"Hey sugar" He greeted with a smirk, scoffing slightly I rolled my eyes "Don't roll your eyes darlin' I got some nice 'candy' in my bike we can share, maybe bump some uglies, pass the time" He asked, since I had no interest in him or snorting drugs, I waved him off politely before retreating back to my car checking the radio again.

Static just came through, I started fiddling with the dials trying to find a station that wasn't static but they all seemed to be coming through as static.

I felt a presence behind me, turning I saw George, his arm was covered in blood, he reached for my arm, grabbing it, horrified, I pulled my arm, horrified at his sudden violence, I kicked out before slamming my car door closed, locking myself in the car.

I stared in horror as he continued banging on my car window, growling.

What. The. Fuck.

"George what are you doing?" Anna, his wife came up behind him, tapping him gently on the shoulder.

I screamed as he turned around grabbing his wife, and biting into her neck, blood and screaming came next as she tried to pry her husband's mouth off her neck.

My hand was clasped over my mouth as I watched the man rip his wife's neck apart, eating her as she let out shrill screams of pain, suddenly she started shaking before going limp and silent.

They both fell to the floor, the husband eating his wife.

I just watched in horror shaking slightly.

"Hey, come on" A man I didn't know opened the passager side of my car, trying to drag me out

"T-The kids" I stumbled over my words, the event I'd just watched imprinted on my brain "The old couple, they had 3 kids, we can't leave them" I mumbled.

"Fine, fine" The man grumbled, pulling me out of the car, we snuck around to the old couples car, I stared at the ground not wanting to look at the man still eating his wife.

We got to the car, opening the door, I saw the seven year old looking traumatised, holding a hand over her little brothers eyes while the baby slept.

"Hey, hey, come on sweetie" I told the seven year old, trying not to cry "I'm Y/n, okay, we're going to get you and your siblings out of here" I told her

She nodded weakly, what happened as freshly imprinted on her mind as it was mine.

"I-I'm Kori, that's Ben, and she's Odetta" Kori mumbled introducing me to her siblings, I nodded.

"We don't have time for this, we have to go" The man ordered, I helped Kori out the car and she grabbed Ben, holding his hand, I then unbuckled the baby, lifting her gently.

"Let's go" I nodded to the man, carrying the baby on my hip.
