like its the end of the world

“Being cheerful is pretty hard when so many people are mood blowers.”

“Tell me about it, it’s hard enough getting through this let alone having people being debby downers all the time.”

He reached the end of the hill about the same time she did; the selfish little child in him wanted to laugh at the sight - but he removed any sign of amusement from his features in a rare attempt at being considerate. It had to be kind of embarrassing. Garth extended his hand to her without really thinking much about it; doing a little good thing to pay back for all the harm he would cause. Sometimes it was a good workout to act the hero. “Think ya’ can get up?”

Danielle could hear a voice above her but didn't want to move, if anything all she wanted to do was curl up into a ball until the aches and pains went away. Knowing that wasn't an option she lifted her head up to look at him with great difficulty, biting her lip to contain the groan of pain that wanted to escape. "Can't say I've thought that far ahead." She replied, before taking his hand and attempting to pull herself up.

“Fucking hell! You alright?”

Danielle groaned, and rolled onto her back. “Ow...Fuck”

“Is anything broken.” she felt so bad for the girl, watching her tumble.

“I hope not.” She muttered trying to push herself up.

‘’No problems,’’ He gave a smile in return. Rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably at her next question. He had no idea where to start or how to answer it. ‘’The same I guess, a little bit of everything. Hunting, scavenging, scouting the perimeter, just walking-getting some quiet time.’’ He didn’t like to admit it but sometimes he needed it- Old habits of wandering apparently didn’t break.

"Have I hit a nerve?" Danielle looked sheepish, she hadn't meant to make him uncomfortable. "Ohhh, is that the problem? Am I intruding? Crap, sorry I didn't mean to."

‘’Well It looks clear-’’ Nate muttered, glancing around at the wide expanse. But that didn’t mean anything, the walkers-they were faster, stronger in a way and even more unpredictable. ‘’I wouldn’t suggest you let your guard down though-What are you doing out here anyway?’’

“Right, okay thanks.” Danielle replied with a smile. “I’ll try not to” She told him before adding, “I’m looking for food. What about you?”

Matt nodded in reply and hurried over to the drawers,pushing one and then the other against the door. He backed up and wiped hishands on his pants, looking at the drawers with uncertainty as they shudderedfrom the undead ramming against it. “We need to find a way out of here, I don’tthink that’s going to hold forever.”

Danielle groaned bracing her feet against the floor trying to gain better grip to stop her from slipping each time the undead shoved against the door. She couldn't help the sigh of relief escape as she was able to move away once the draws had replaced her. "You're right but I'm not sure how we're supposed to do that considering the only escape I'm seeing is the windows and that's going to create more noise attracting them."

Garth scurried ahead, eyebrows rose in the surprise of seeing a familiar figure – a familiar figure which currently seemed to be falling. “jesus, that was a bit of a trip. you alright?”

When she finally reached the bottom, Danielle groaned and brought a hand to her head. It was only as she pulled it back that she noticed the blood. She rolled over onto her back, not trusting her legs to help her up just yet. "Been better. Can't say it was one of my finer moments." She mumbled scrunching her eyes closed in pain.

“Oh my god..” she ran over to the girl as she watched her fall.

As Danielle eventually reached the bottom she couldn't help but let out the groan of pain she had built up as she hit each rock and bump.
