[squirrelhunter]

Who: Daryl Dixon (squirrelhunter) an Open
What: Nightmare plot
When: Now
Where: The murky forests of Daryl's mind
Rating: Certificate 15. Warning for blood, gore, zombies and other nasty stuff.

You find yourself running through a forest at night. The air is cold, almost frigid, your breath crystalising in front of you as you run. There's the sound of shuffling behind you, as well as snarls, growls, moans... And they sound hungry.

There's a clearing up ahead, a man standing in the clearing, a crossbow out as he fires a bolt into the head of a shadowy figure shambling out of the woods on the opposite side, a pair of bloodied axes lie at his feet...

The path splits into several ways. Which path do you choose?

((OOC: There will be a nasty surprise per path, so the more people who choose, the more poor Daryl gets tortured. Go nuts!))

Daryl! [Katniss is getting surrounding, and they're both being cut off from one another.] Daryl we need to get to them and get out now! We can't hold them off, there's too many!

[squirrelhunter]

I know! Damnit!

[He's going to keep trying to fight his way to Dale and Andrea, but the Walkers are cutting him off at every turn, their screams echoing around the clearing...

...Before it stops.]

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss is fighting for all their lives, now, and she manages to hack through the ones keeping her from Daryl ... just as the screaming stops.]

Shit.

[She stares at the spot where the two people aren't anymore.] ... Daryl, we've got to get out of here. Now.

[squirrelhunter]

Fuck... FUCK.

[He turns to leave, knowing he can't get to them, but looking torn.]

That way! Go! [He points.]

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss spins in the direction he points, and starts to make a run for it, kicking away a zombie as she struggled towards freedom.]

[squirrelhunter]

[A zombie gets an axe to the head as it tries to get too close, but they're still cutting Daryl and Katniss off from one another.]

Fuckin' geeks! Bring it on!

[the_effect_she_has]

God! Damn! Get off!

[Katniss growled, kicking and swinging her axe, but she was getting pushed ahead of the crowd and they were all grabbing at her.] NO! LET GO!

[She was kicking now, fighting them, but they were dragging her down.]

[squirrelhunter]

KATNISS!! Fuck! No...NO!

[Not another one. He's going to start fighting to get to her now. He's not losing another one. Not this soon!]

[the_effect_she_has]

DARYL! DARYL RUN!

[She was not going to have him go down with her. She screamed at them, her axe swinging like she was a Valkyrie.] IF I'M DYING YOU'RE ALL GOING WITH ME!

[squirrelhunter]

[And he was going to be a stubborn ass and not let her go down at all.

He's still fighting his way through the throng to get to her, despite a way out showing behind him.]

[the_effect_she_has]

[The Walkers were already grabbing her arms, her hair, and they were going for her soft flesh. She screamed as they started tearing into her, still fighting even as the blood started to spurt out of her body.]

[squirrelhunter]

NO!! No...!

[But there's nothing he can really do. He's doomed to watch and he does for a moment, before realising that he... Can't do anything...

So, he turns and runs, the Walkers distracted enough by Katniss' corpse to let him escape...]
