A/N: This chapter is a little bit more graphic. Thank you guys so much for reading! I'd love some input, my friend thinks I'm going a little to fast should I slow it all down a bit?
Daryl paced around the small room. His head was spinning, he didn't understand why she didn't tell him. 'If she would of told him things would have been different not some buzzed fuck.' He thought to himself. He sat down and thought about the first time he kissed her. He'd never forget that.
'Merle and Sam were passed out on the couch naked with 3 girls Daryl had never seen before. He rolled his eyes this was nothing new. Merle had just gotten out of prison and come over to Sam's to celebrate. Lily walked in, the smile on her face quickly fell. Daryl watched her walk to the kitchen, she filled up a large bowl with ice water. He could tell she was angry and disappointed.
"Wake up!" Lily screamed dumping the cold water on the tangle of bodies. The girls on the couch screamed. "Get your skanky asses out of my house!" The girls quickly left.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Sam yelled pulling on a pair of jeans.
"Oh I don't know maybe the fact that I've been working my ass off to feed us and trying to stay in school while yer off drinking and fucking whores with Merle!" She yelled shoving Sam.
"You gona let her talk to you like that?" Merle growled "Her problem is you don't punish her fer yapping her jaw."
"Lily get out of my face before I start listening to Merle!" He yelled back at the girl. Lily slapped Sam across the face and ran out the door.
"Daryl go get her." Sam demanded.
"She ain't my responsibility." Daryl spat.
"I'll get er then." Merle said with a dark smirk. Daryl knew she'd be in even more trouble if Merle found her so he ran after her. He found her sitting up in her favorite tree.
"Why do you take Merle's shit?" She asked as Daryl sat next to him
"He's my brother, he raised me an I know he's the only one who cares bout my dumb ass." Daryl said.
"That's bullshit Daryl you ain't a dumbass and I care bout you." She said Daryl was sick of her talking he kissed her. At the time he told himself the kiss was to shut her up but he knew he'd always wanted to kiss her.'
Daryl jumped as he heard the door shut. Lily walked in, she was smiling slightly but he could see she was preparing to tell him something he'd seen that look time and time again.
"Why didn't ya tell me woman!" Daryl snapped at Lily. She looked at the ground, she knew they'd have to have this conversation sooner or later.
"You heard?" Lily asked not looking at him.
"Ya I fuckin heard. You shoulda told me!" he said putting his hand on his neck.
"Why? It's none of yer damn business!" She yelled, she couldn't understand why he was so mad it was her choice not his.
"I fucked ya so ya made it my damn business! Didn't Sam teach ya any better than jumpin into bed with anyone?! It was yer first time ya ain't supposed to blow it on some meaningless fuck." He spat. She meant so much to him and what they did was just animal there was no caring to it and he knew he didn't mean shit to her. He thought she'd just lowered her standards because there weren't much to choose from.
Lily didn't say anything, his words stung her. 'Meaningless fuck.' The thought of her meaning nothing to him made her cringe. She grabbed her bag and ran out the door trying to keep the tears from pouring down her face. She walked into the computer control room. "What's with the clock counting down?" Lily asked the Doctor.
"At zero we run out of fuel, the power will run out and there will be decontamination." Jenner said walking away. Everyone's face dropped. There was only an hour left.
The group ran to get their things they knew they'd have to leave to survive. When they had their bags ready they met back up in the control room as the lights started shutting down. Jenner told the group that the last CDC like center to go was France said before locking the group in.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH YOU LOCKED US IN." Daryl yelled attacking Jenner. Lily helped pull the Daryl off Doctor Jenner.
"I told you once that front shut it wouldn't open again." Jenner said "its better this way."
"How? Decontamination is always burning Jenner!?" Lily screamed tear burned her eyes.
"Yes to keep the diseases I've spent MY WHOLE LIFE WORKING WITH FROM LEAVEIN!" Jenner screamed "The air will set fire and it will kill everything in the building, it will all be over." He spoke calmly.
"Open the damn door." Daryl yelled as he rushed to one of the doors and started beating it he was not going to let Lily just die in this room. He wasn't going to watch her just burn. Daryl and Shane started hitting the door with axes.
"Should have left it all alone. You all know how cruel the world has become, this will be quick and painless."
"We aren't making a dent." Shane said.
"Well no those doors are meant to withstand a rocket." Jenner said.
"Well yer head ain't." Daryl said charging at Jenner with an axe. Lily stepped in front of him.
"STOP IT DARYL" She yelled pushing him back. "YOU ACTING LIKE A DAMN ANIMAL AIN'T HELPIN"
"This isn't right my daughter doesn't deserve to die like this." Carol pleaded in tears. Lily couldn't take this she snapped pulled out her Glock and pointed it at Jenner.
"OPEN THE GOD DAMN DOOR BEFORE I BLOW YER DAMN BRAINS OUT YOU SICK FUCK." Lily screamed her finger itching to pull the trigger.
"Fine. Those of you who want to leave good luck. Anyone who wants to stay is more than welcome to Opt out of all of this. It will be over in a second no pain." Jenner said opening the door. "Topsides locked down I can't open those."
Daryl wasn't even going to let Lily think about the choice he picked her and her bag up, threw her over his shoulder and ran to the front door. The men frantically pounded on the glass, it wouldn't give. Rick surprised everyone when he pulled out a grenade.
"Get behind something I'll blow the glass out." Rick yelled. Everyone frantically hid behind something.
"Daryl, I'm scared." Lily admitted to him as he held her behind a wall.
"Everything 's gonna be fine I ain't gonna let ya die." He said kissing her forehead as the grenade went off. Daryl Carried Lily to the truck not caring who else followed. The building burst into flames.
"Oh god where's Jacqui?" Lily cried looking around watching everyone get in their cars Dale and Andrea were the last ones out before the building blew. Lily watched the building fall and burn as the caravan pulled away."Daryl did you see her come out?!"
"No, she stayed Lily." He said without looking at her he knew the news would hurt her.
Lily choked back the tears, she didn't want to cry anymore. She was so angry and upset, she didn't want to be stuck in the car with Daryl. They drove toward fort Benning until the sun started to set. The group pulled over and set up camp no one said a word to each other they were all in shock. Lily sat down on the small cot in the tent she shared with Daryl.
"Was what we did at the CDC really just a meaningless fuck to you because it wasn't to me?" Lily asked hearing Daryl enter the tent . "Daryl, I wanted it to be you."
"Yer first is supposed to be special." Daryl said quietly. "Ya ain't supposed to be tipsy, I shoulda never touched like I did I took advantage of ya."
"You know damn well you didn't take advantage of me if I didn't want ya to touch me I wouldn't have let ya." Lily said standing up in front of him she kissed him. "And damn Daryl do I want ya, I always have" She said seductively.
Daryl couldn't stop himself even if he wanted too, he roughly kissed her. He decided if he was going to do this he was going to make it special for her like he should have done that first time. Lily pulled away, she was going to take this slowly, she pulled her shirt over her head. Daryl watched her every move, she bit her lip again; it drove him crazy when she did it.
"You are so beautiful." He said softly, watching her eyes close as he placed his hand on the small of her lightly tanned back. He attacked her neck again kissing and sucking it tenderly ever so softly nipping it, leaving his mark on her. Lily tilted her head slightly giving him better access.
Daryl reached for Lily's bra unhooking the lacey black material, he pulled it off of her replacing the material with his hand. Daryl led Lily to the cot and laid them down. He reached for her jeans undoing the button he slid his hand down the front and under her panties. She gasped feeling his strong calloused hands touch her so softly. Lily arched her back feeling him slowly slide a finger inside her. Daryl grinned feeling how tight and wet she was for him, it made him even harder. Daryl pulled his hand out of her jeans earning a sad whimper from Lily. He grabbed the top of her jean and panties pulling them both off of her. He admired the beautiful naked woman underneath him.
Daryl pulled off his shirt before focusing all his attention back on Lily. He slowly moved his hand up her legs parting them. He looked up at Lily she was blushing. He kissed the soft skin of her inner thigh before kissing her entrance. Lily grabbed at the blanket on the cot pressing herself into him as his tongue entered her.
"Daryl…Stop." Lily said in between moan. Daryl stopped and looked up at her , he looked confused 'did she change her mind.' He asked himself.
Lily and Daryl stood up. Daryl was about to speak when Lily grabbed the front of his jeans and pulled them down going on her knees. Daryl watched her slowly slip down his boxer. Lily touched his dick softly before sliding him into her hot mouth. Daryl let out an animal like grunt.
"If you want this to go any farther yer going to have to stop doin that." He groaned feeling her tongue slide up his length. Lily stopped stood up and kissed him. Daryl laid her on the cot moving on top of her and slowly entering her. Lily bit her tongue to stop herself from making too much noise. Daryl watched Lily move under him, her hands grabbing roughly onto his shoulder, her eyes closed, her body pressing to his, the way she tried to stay quiet letting a moan escape now and then as he quickened his pace.
"Ya like that?" he asked breathlessly as he quickened his pace.
"God yes Daryl." The way she moaned his name drove him crazy. He kissed her as he thrusted deeper and harder bringing them both to their release. He laid his head between her neck and her shoulder as they both enjoyed their little paradise.
Daryl woke up the next morning with Lily fast asleep against him. He lightly moved the soft blonde hair out of her face. He watched her eyes slowly open, she kissed his chest lightly. She sat up and looked at him tossing her hair over one shoulder.
"Come on, we gotta get moving." Lily said climbing out of the cot. Daryl rolled on to his side and propped himself up on one elbow watching Lily slide on her jeans. She had lost some weight they all had, her jeans rested delicately on her hips. He climbed out of the cot and pulled his clothes on. He walked behind her and helped her pull her t-shirt on. He moved the hair from one side of her neck, he grinned seeing the hickey he made.
"Mine." He whispered protectively into her ear before kissing the mark on her neck and leaving the tent. Lily grabbed her crossbow and knives and made her way towards Shane and Rick.
"Hey Rick Can I go hunting? We're staying here another night and I'm good with a bow." Lily asked.
"No you can't." Daryl spoke from behind her.
"Why the hell not? We need food." Lily demanded.
"Cus it's dangerous and yer a woman, my woman." Daryl said Lily glared when Shane spoke up.
"Daryl's right for once." Shane said.
"Oh so now because we're women we can't do anything and we become property?" Andrea's aggravated voice snapped.
"I don't see a problem Lily if you want to hunt you can, we do need food." Rick spoke calmly.
"Thank you it's nice to see one man in this group doesn't think I'm incapable of taking care of myself because I don't have something hanging between my legs." Lily said her voice full of venom directed at Shane and Daryl. Lily stormed away with Daryl following behind her.
"Ya ain't goin." Daryl said grabbing her shoulder turning her to face him.
"Yes I am Daryl you don't own me, and you can't stop me." Lily said standing her ground, she decided she wasn't going to let him push her around.
"So what yer just gona go risk yer ass?" Daryl knew there would be walkers lurking around.
"Yes so I can feed these us all so we can continue to live." Lily said wishing Daryl would just let her go.
"Fine get yer ass killed see if I care dumb bitch." Daryl growled he didn't mean any of it.
"If you don't care than you can shut the fuck up ya stupid fuckin hick." Lily yelled back at him. She walked away into the woods. Daryl watched angry as she stormed away.
Lily walked through the trees quietly listening to her surroundings. Lily took down a dozen squirrels before she came across a deer it wasn't very big but she could tell that it was older and healthy. Lily hated killing a deer so small but she was running out of options, they needed food. It wasn't like before when she could just steal from a grocery store.
'Lily threw away the last bags trash, she was exhausted. Lily walked into the building grabbed her things and left, she was glad to be done with her second job. She'd been working as a night janitor at her high school and she worked as a waitress in a small diner. She still was making barely enough to eat, Sam was doing time for assault. Lily walked into her house and was met by a bottle.
"Fuck." She yelled feeling the bottle smash against her side.
"Who the hell are you?" Her mother slurred.
"Your daughter." Lily said softly.
"I ain't got no kids! Git the hell outta here." The woman yelled throwing another bottle at her. Lily ducked out the door; it wasn't the first time her mother forgot she existed.
"Merle! Daryl! Open the door!" Lily screamed pounding on the door. She had nowhere else to go.
"What the fuck woman it's 3 A.M?" Daryl asked.
"I got thrown out bitch forgot I lived there can I crash here for the night?" Lily asked he could see she was upset. He let her in and she crashed on the Dixon's couch.'
Lily was gutting the deer when she heard the walkers feet drag. She sighed and faced the direction of the creature, it wasn't very close so she shot an arrow at it hitting in the eye watching it drop. She walked over and pulled the arrow out.
"I'm getting so sick of your ugly asses." Lily said slamming the heel of her boot into the monster's skull.
Lily picked up her squirrels and dragged the deer back to camp. Rick walked over to Lily and helped her carry the deer to a small folding table.
"Thank you Lily, it'll be nice to eat something besides squirrel." Rick said with a friendly smile.
"Could you get Daryl to skin it? I've never been very good at it." Lily asked.
"Sure are you two ok? You didn't seem very happy when you left and Daryl hasn't said a word to anyone he's just been fixing up Merle's bike." Rick asked genuinely concerned. He knew Daryl and Lily made each other happy he didn't want them to lose what little they had left.
"Ya everything's fine." Lily said with a smile.
Lily sat in her tent with her sketch book in her lap. She smiled as she started to draw Lori, Rick and Carl sitting at a table in the CDC they were all smiling. They looked so happy, that's the way they should be she thought. Those nice people deserved to be happy and safe. She flipped to a blank page and sketched out Glen; He sat in the Camero smiling. Lily sat and drew for hours, drawing everyone in camp.
"Lily sweetie dinner is ready." Lori called from outside the tent. Lily joined the group at the fire they all talked. "So Lily we haven't really had much of a chance to talk lately. What did you do before all this?" Lori asked after all they'd been through she really wanted to get to know the girl.
"I worked 2 jobs as a janitor and a waitress before I'd actually got accepted into an Art school in New York." Lily said softly and looked over towards Daryl who sat across from her, he had decided to join the group.
"You never told Sam, Merle, and I that you were gonna leave." Daryl said without looking up from his plate.
"I wasn't sure if I was going to, I'd got the acceptance letter when y'all were out hunting I was going to tell you when you got back but then the world went to shit." Lily said with a shrug . Rick changed the subject to the next day's plans.
"So Daryl is going to lead on Merle's bike then Dale and glen will follow with the RV, Carol, Sophia, Lori, Carl and I will ride behind him then Lily and Andrea in the truck with Shane at the rear." Rick said. "Every one okay with that?"
"Actually Rick can I lead on my bike, Andrea could drive the truck." Lily asked. Rick glanced at Daryl he could tell he wasn't ok with that but Rick knew he couldn't let Daryl make decisions for the girl.
"Sure you and Daryl can lead on the bikes." Rick said and everyone agreed, Lily was shocked that Daryl didn't speak up and demand she stay safely in the truck.
Daryl stood up and said goodnight, he hadn't want Lily leading with him but he knew she was already angry with him. He walked to their tent, Lily had first watch. He picked up her sketchbook, it was lying on the cot where she'd left it he flipped through it.
Lily, Andrea, Carol and Lori sat at the fire still as the men made a final round to make sure they were safe.
"Lily what happened to your neck?" Carol asked touching the bruise looking mark.
"Oh my god it's a hickey!" Andrea squealed. Lily blushed deep red and nodded. The girls giggled.
Shane heard the girls and cringed in disgust at Lily, he was appalled at the way she proudly displayed the fact her and Daryl were fucking. As if it weren't bad enough he had to listen to her and Daryl and Lori and Rick fucking all the damn time. He watched everyone go to their tents except Lily she walked the perimeter. Shane walked up behind Lily and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Jesus Christ Shane don't fucking sneak up on people." Lily whispered smacking Shane's hand off of her.
"We need to talk." Shane said softly.
"About what?" Lily hated being near Shane.
"About you prancing around broadcasting you and that disgusting pig fucking." Shane said raising his voice a bit.
"It's really none of your business is it Shane? If Daryl's a pig what does that make you? A pervert? A rapist? Don't think we all don't know that you attacked Lori at the CDC. Look down on Daryl all you want but he will always be a better man than you Shane your just a sick monster." Lily said keeping her voice at a whisper. Shane roughly grabbed Lily's neck considering snapping it.
Daryl walked out of his tent, he needed to talk to Lily about the day's events. He found her talking to Shane. Shane reached out and grabbed Lily's throat. Daryl Grabbed Shane hair pulled his head back and place a knife to his throat.
"You best get yer hands off her if ya don't I won't hesitate to slit yer throat." Daryl said pressing the edge of the knife against Shane's neck. Shane released his grip in Lily. "You Okay?" he asked Lily still holding onto Shane.
"Ya, I'm fine." Lily said touching her neck lightly.
"Good. Don't you ever lay a hand on her or any other woman in this camp again." Daryl said releasing Shane. Shane started walking away "Oh and Shane." Daryl said making the man turn around; Daryl o punched him causing Shane to drop to the ground.
The next morning the group met up to leave. Shane's eye was swollen and Lily had a hand shaped bruise on her neck
"Shane what the hell happened to you?" Dale asked.
"I fell." Shane said storming past him to his car.
"Ya on my fist." Daryl said mounting Merle's bike.
"Oh my god Lily" Lori shouted touching her neck lightly. "Did Daryl?" Lily's jaw dropped.
"No Lori get yer head out of yer ass it was Shane." Lily spat walking to her bike, she hadn't meant to blow up at Lori but the thought of anyone thinking Daryl would lay a hand on her made her sick.
Not another word on the subject was said, the group pulled away. Lily relaxed on the bike feeling the warm summer air against her neck as she picked up speed, she missed this feeling. She felt free on her bike, nothing holding her back. She remembered the countless times she'd had this feeling as she rode for miles. A year ago she would have been leaving everything behind but now things were different now she was looking for a place where she could stop running.
Daryl and Lily came to a large traffic jam. They moved their bikes in between the cars finding space for the RV to fit through. Daryl turned his head and nodded towards Dale he'd found a way through. The group started moving again when they heard a squealing sound from the RV as it broke down. Daryl and Lily pulled their bikes over and got off as the other climbed out of their vehicles.
"We're stuck in the middle of nowhere with no hope of…..Ok that was dumb." Dale said looking over at all the empty cars.
"Can we find a radiator hose here?" Shane asked.
"Bunch of stuff we can find." Daryl said rummaging through a car.
"We can siphon fuel." T-dog said.
"We could find water, clothes, maybe food." Carol said hope in her eyes.
"This place is a graveyard." Lori stated.
"Dale can start fixing the RV and the rest of us could start checking cars. Stay close." Rick said before we all separated.
Lily started going through a van, finding suitcases full of clothes, food and one even contained cigarettes making Lily laugh. Daryl started helping T- Dog siphon gas every so often glancing at Lily her back stayed turned. Daryl noticed rick and Dale fall to their stomachs ordering everyone to get under a car.
T-dog turned slightly cutting his arm open on a car attracting a walker. Daryl cursed and killed the walker with a screw driver throwing its body on top of T-dog. Daryl noticed Lily hadn't turned around he ran towards her and shoved her into the van closing the door with his hand over her mouth.
Lily looked at him her eyes wide and confused. Daryl brought a figure to his mouth to tell her to stay quiet removing his hand from her mouth. Lily nodded understanding, she could hear the walkers moaning and dragging their feet.
A/N: Cliffhanger! Sorry guys but I had to have at least one it's kind of my thing. Thanks so much guys.
