Beth was off in her own little world, and she found herself enjoying quite the wonderful dream. In it, she was simply cleaning up after what appeared to be lunch with her mom. It was all normal, and they were chit chatting like they always did. Her mother thanked her, Beth welcomed her, and then Beth went off to explore the farm. After heading off to the stables to greet her favorite horse, Hollie, who was a caramel colored stallion, she decided to roam back out to the boulder underneath the willow tree where she once spoke with Daryl. She could see him from where she sat, working hard like he always did in the blazing sun. She smiled, remembering the small chat they had while they sat there. As she looked up to the clear sky above, she found herself wishing that things would always be this way. Peaceful, serene, and filled with nothing but happiness and joy. After a moment of being this way, she could hear her brother Shawn calling out to her.
"Hey, Beth!" He waved over to her, jogging to meet with her. She still had a smile on her face, but it faded as soon as she saw the expression on his own. "Shawn? What is it?" She questioned, for she could now see how wide his eyes were. He looked completely terrified. "I-It's mom," he stammered, pointing back to the house. "S-She--" he continued to say, though Beth didn't need to hear anymore. The entire place was crawling with the undead - the walking corpses that she saw on the news. "Mom!" Beth shouted as she made her way back to the house. However, it was too late. All she could make out was the kitchen floor covered with her mother's blood. Pieces of flesh were scattered about, and some of the undead were eating it. Meanwhile, her mother lied there, motionless and tattered. "M-Mom.." Beth began, completely frozen in shock. It was then that she felt her brother roughly push her aside. "Beth, watch what you're doing!" He shouted.
There were zombies all around them.
"Shawn!" She cried out, but all of the walkers around focused their attention on him upon pushing Beth out of the way. They got a hold of him, and he didn't have a weapon. She watched as they literally bit him, as though he wasn't human, but just one chunk of meat. "Shawn!!" She continued to cry out, but then her father came inside and dragged her away. "We have to leave, Beth! Come on!" He ordered her, but she felt like a lifeless rag doll as he pulled her out of the house. They began running, but Beth was so out of it that she ended up tripping. "Beth!" Hershel cried out, and Beth just looked behind her helplessly as she was suddenly surrounded by walkers. No.. She thought, feeling her entire body seemingly grow cold. No.. She shut her eyes tightly as one of them grabbed her by the arm roughly. Tears began welling up in her eyes, and the last thing she remembered seeing was the grotesque, pure white eye balls staring her down.
Thankfully, that sight was soon replaced with Daryl's handsome face.
As he gently shook her awake, she took note of that soothing sensation rather than the one she imagined whenever the walker took a hold of her. She slowly looked down at his arm that gently shook her, taking note of the comforting rugged texture she found herself developing an affinity for. She didn't even realize that there were tears actually welling up in her eyes until she blinked a couple times, and they fell down her cheeks. "O-Oh," she stammered out in surprise, wiping them from her face quickly. She hoped that Daryl hadn't seen them, though he probably had. Forcing a smile back unto her face, she attempted to push the gruesome nightmare she just had aside. It started off so nice, too, she thought to herself as she let out a soft sigh. "Is it time to go?" She called out, her voice still slightly fatigued because she just woke up. She let out a soft stretch, brushing some of the blonde hair that had come loose from her ponytail in her sleep aside.
"Was I asleep long?" She questioned, slowly sitting up as she gazed over at Daryl. She felt refreshed thanks to the nap, though the dream she had unnerved her quite a bit.
