(Contains Swearing)
From the start
"I don't care if ya did or didn't do it. Ya not leavin'" Daryl said pushing his body closer to the cell railings.
He watched Carol small body sat on the edge of the bed in the locked up cell. God, all he wanted was for her to look at him. She couldn't have killed Karen and David; she just didn't have that in her. Daryl knew she was coving for someone.
"Why are you so worried, Daryl? Rick said it was best if I just left, and it is" Her soft voice said that sounded and little scared.
Daryl felt more anger rush through him at the thought of Carol being scared.
"Ya where with us first. I'm not lettin' it happen"
Seconds later Daryl turned his head to the exit to see Tyrese stomping towards him with Rick not far behind. Daryl knew exactly what he was coming for and he wasn't going to let it happen. Daryl flipped out his gun and aimed before Tyrese got any closer.
"I'm going to fucking kill her" Tyrese shouted and walked straight passed Daryl. Before he could touch a single railing Daryl held hard onto both his shoulders and pushed him back. Rick then got in front of Tyrese and helped Daryl push him away.
"I'm not finished with you! You killed my family!" Tyrese pointed to Carol before he got taken away. Caro listened to his angry threatening words fade as he disappeared.
Her eyes started to sting with hot water and she let out a big unsteady sigh through her mouth. She looked up for the first time that felt in ages and spotted Daryl gun on the floor just outside her cell. She looked at it for a moment; she then felt her body stand up to walk towards the railings. She scanned the area and only could see Maggie sat at the table sobbing about the infection Glenn has.
Flashback:
"Glenn!" Maggie shouted while being pulled back by most of the group. The group especially Daryl where surprised by her force pulling away from them.
"It's okay. I'll be fine" Glenn said nearly crying while walking away with Hershel.
He didn't want to look back and see Maggie the way she was. He just wanted to hold her and protect her. But now that he has got the infection and could be a walker any minute, he had to stay away from Maggie. He didn't want to kill her or even pass on the infection. Maggie fell to the cold concrete floor and hid her face.
"He is going to fight this" Rick said and knelt down. Rick could hear her small mumbles "He goanna die" over and over. After a couple of minutes she ran away to her and Glenn's tower.
Carol knelt down and picked up the gun just in time she shoved it down her pants while the banned kept it up. She covered it with her top just before she felt Daryl existence. Daryl watched as Carol turned to him and looked at his eyes for the first time. She walked towards the railings but keep a slight distance. Daryl felt a wave of coldness as she moved.
"You said that you would shoot who ever killed Karen and David in the head" Carol said remembering the cold words he said that day. Daryl felt a shot of pain in his heart at hurting Carol so harshly himself.
"I didn't know then" Daryl shook his head.
"That makes no difference"
"Yes. It does make a fucking difference. I didn't know ya had that in ya, woman" Daryl said smacking the railings that made Carol flinch. Daryl then felt lighter then before. He felt like he was missing something.
Gun.
It rushed through his mind like his arrow firing from his crossbow. He knew he dropped it and now she has it.
"I did it for the group" She said putting her hands on the railings. Daryl sighed and looked behind to find Maggie not there. He wondered for a moment at where she could of possible gone to. Maggie has changed so much without Glenn, the group knew that.
"I did it for Glenn" Carol continued making Daryl forget about Maggie. Daryl moved his upper body again to face her. He was struggling with words. He knew she was right, Glenn might not even be here today if she hadn't of killed Karen and David as it would have passed to even more people of the prison. Daryl then moved his head to the exit, making sure it wasn't Tyrese but in fact it was Rick.
"Is that Rick?" Carol whispered and walked back a bit.
"She packing and going tonight" Rick said walking towards the door. Carol walked back to the end of her cell and slid down to the floor. Daryl watched her and then turned to Rick.
"She fuckin' ain'!" Daryl threatened. He knew he would be the only one who would stick up for Carol. She has lost so much that he just felt like he had to be the one to protect her, and secretly he liked it. Before Rick could reply they heard a scream.
"We can't find Hershel. Carol your going to have to help" Carl said quickly pulling Maggie through the door. Everyone spotted her hand full of blood. Rick took the medical bag from Carl and a chair and put them on the floor next to Carol cell. Carl helped Maggie sit on the chair as Carol was already up getting bandages out. Daryl watched as the girl can't keep still from the shock.
"Where you bit?" Rick asked quickly.
"No, no, no. I found her in the tower like this with a knife" Carl said for her. Rick put his hands on his head, knowing Maggie did this to herself. For the past couple of weeks Maggie has been acting strange thinking Glenn will die. Carol wrapped the bandage around the wound through the railings and finished up quickly.
"There. You need to stop doing this to yourself" Carol said still holding Maggie's hand. Daryl noticed Maggie wincing. He knelt down to her level and looked at her top, covered in blood. Daryl lifted her top a little to find a big wound in her stomach. They all knew then she stabbed herself too.
Rick unlocked Carol cell and helped Maggie onto the cell bed.
"Daryl can you get her some pain killers please" Carol asked quickly dealing with Maggie stomach. Daryl didn't have to be asked twice and quickly and gave them to Maggie not long after a bottle of water. After a couple of minutes of treating the wound Carol was again finally done.
"Anywhere else?" Carol asked and Maggie shook her head.
"Okay. Carol you need to start packing" Rick whispered as she got up. Maggie got up slowly and sat on the edge of her bed.
"Where she going?" Maggie asked. Everyone face turned to her.
"Somewhere away from here" Rick said looking at Carol.
"Well if that is the case. I going too" Daryl said and Rick face turned shocked.
"You are staying here. We need you" Rick said leaning into Daryl. Rick knew he couldn't win over this one. Carol felt a slight happiness.
"I'll go too" Maggie said standing up.
"You are in no condition" Rick remarked her.
"I don't care. Carol has been with us from the start" Maggie said nearly in tears.
"She killed Karen and David" Rick shouted. Maggie felt anger rise. How dare he just kick out someone who has put in heart and soul for this group.
"She cared for us!" Maggie shouted. Rick looked back to Daryl who looked about ready to leave with Carol. Rick knew if he left, they would suffer.
"She can stay for a couple of days. But she stays in here" Rick threatened Carol. Daryl moved Carol away from him a bit but Rick disappeared. Maggie then followed and walked out.
"Oi" Daryl said making Maggie turn to face him and He held out his hand. She rolled her eyes and gave him the knife and walked away.
"I will go with ya" Daryl said a couple of minutes later
"Daryl you don't have to"
"No, I am" Daryl looked into her worrying but beautiful eyes.
I'm going to go and inform Glenn" Daryl said taking steps away from Carol. He stopped and hesitated to turn around.
"Make sure ya hide my gun" He said as his body was half facing Carol and then walked off to tell Glenn.
