Hello everyone! I am back with a new story since I have already updated my latest story. I haven't seen a story like this on here, and I am kind of surprised there isn't one. This is set right after everyone has come back in the Suicide King except for Daryl, who has left with his brother. Well without further ado, here is the first chapter of Things Gone South.
Things Gone South Chapter 1: Daryl's gone?
Carol's POV
"He's gone? Daryl's gone?" I asked Rick while trying not to cry in front of him.
"He said you would understand." He said trying to comfort me.
"Is he going to come back?" I asked. Rick just shrugged his shoulders. I turned and started to walk off because the tears had started flowing, and I didn't want Rick to see them. He wasn't going to let me cry on my own though. He grabbed me and pulled me into a hug, and I hugged him back. I still needed to be alone though. I pulled away, but Rick still kept an arm around me as he led me back to the prison as Carl shut the gates. Rick led me back to my cell. We had a nice conversation about everything but Daryl to get my mind off of him. By that time it was time to start supper, and I had to go down to the kitchen to fix some. I didn't eat any despite everyone trying to get me to. I just didn't want to eat anything. After supper, I went to a more secluded part of the prison and just sat to think for a while. Inevitably, I started thinking about Daryl and started crying. When I got up to go back to my cell, I swore I saw someone outside the fences. I just shrugged it off thinking I was just seeing things.
For the next few days, I did the same thing. I kept on thinking I saw someone every day, but I kept thinking that the same thing that happened to Rick when Lori died was happening to me. I didn't want to bother people with problems. I would've told Daryl, but he's not here.
Martinez's POV
"Sir, I think I have found a way to make them talk." I said coming to the Governor. He turned to look at me. He was mad and was out for blood.
"What is it?" He asked in a gruff voice.
"You know how I kept hearing Merle's brother saying a name over and over when he was unconscious? Well, I think I found the woman. She's been out by the fence every day at the same time. She just sits there and cries. She says his name repeatedly. I could easily take her. That will force them to play their hands. That Dixon boy seemed to have some power.
"A way to get that traitor, Merle, back and bring the woman who did this," he points to his bandaged eye, "to me. It would be killing two birds with one stone. That's a wonderful idea. Do it. Come and get me as soon as you bring her back." I then left the Governor and headed for the gates of Woodbury. Those prison people don't know what's about to hit them.
