Before you start reading DON'T worry about Daryl because I would never do what you are thinking I'm doing! Sorry for the lack of Carly in this one but it helps back up the future chapters.

Chapter 10: Blood Type

Daryl banged on the locked door. "Tyrese get ya ass out here right now!"

Carol ran down the corridor towards Daryl but Michonne stood in her way.

"Carol don't. You will get hurt when he is like this" Michonne said peacefully. Carol looked over her shoulder at Daryl shouting everything from under the sun.

"Daryl would never hurt me" Carol said pushing her aside and started to walk but Rick this time jumped in front of her.

"What the hell is going on?" He asked between Daryl and Carol.

"I'll tell ya what the fuck is going on. That fucker in there did this to Carol" Daryl pointed towards Carol wrist making everyone's wide eyes look.

"Ya should see the rest of it. I KNOW YA IN THERE!" Daryl started to bang the door again.

"Daryl" Rick pulled him back and stood blocking Tyrese's door.

"Ya should move if ya know what is best for ya" Daryl shouted, feeling like his brain was going to explode any minute.

"Take Carol back to your room, calm down and sleep on it. We will talk about this in the morning" Rick said with hand motions.

"Oh yeah, that's all we do Rick. We talk but nothin' ever happens" Daryl said in Rick face. Daryl stood back and walked Carol back to there bedroom.

Once they got to their bedroom, Carol quickly slipped into bed not making any eye contact towards Daryl. A few seconds later Carol felt the bed tip from behind her where Daryl settled in for the night. She snuggled herself into the blanket and felt her tears flow; she was more then convinced if she moved the slightest she would fall out the bed. Suddenly she felt a strong arm circle around her waist, pushing her back into Daryl's chest. Daryl leaned on one elbow and kissed her neck.

"I should have told you" Carol whispered twisting her head to look at him.

"Ya need to stop keepin' these things from me. I want to protect ya but I can't do that if ya won't help me" Daryl watched as Carol played with his hand.

"It's just with Ed, I never really told anyone" Carol said honestly. Not telling anyone when she was with Ed was her biggest regret. She could have had years of freedom without being scared of him, years of not worrying about what he could do to Sophia. Only by one conversation that all could have happened. But it didn't and now she knows that Daryl would do anything to keep her safe.

"I know, but that bastered is not here anymore. But look promise me ya will help me protect ya" He continued, moving his hand away so she would look at him.

"Promise. Don't do anything stupid tomorrow" She smiled and leaned back more into his chest while he chuckled.

"Alright where is he?" Daryl shouted; crossbow in hands and walking down the stairs with Carol shortly behind.

"Daryl lets go and have a group meeting about this" Rick said walking out the living room with the rest of the group behind him.

"Not until I know where that shit bag is" Daryl looked for him all morning upstairs but he seems nowhere to be found. Here he is now hoping to exploring downstairs only if everyone moved out his god damn way.

"Tyrese is go-"Maggie stepped forward.

"I think it is best if you don't see Tyrese at the moment" Rick interfered.

"No, I think we should hear what Maggie has to say" Daryl waited for Maggie to continue. Maggie heard Glenn's whispers "Maggie" but she ignored them. She looked around the group watching as they waited. Her dad would have wanted her to do this.

"Maggie don't" Rick begged.

"I'm so sorry Rick, but I don't think it was fair on what you did to Carol at the prison. Daryl, Tyrese has just left into the forest to find more gasoline" As soon as Maggie finished her sentence Daryl ran past them all to outside.

He heard the screams of his name run after him but he kept running. He opened the gate and closed it quickly; looking at the floor Tyrese tracks where fresh. He ran deep into the forest for minutes; dodging trees until he had to stop and catch his breath; He knew the others where still running after him but they where far behind. Daryl leaned forward feeling like he can't go on but then he heard Merle voice in the back of his head. "Don't be such a pussy, baby brother" Daryl heard rustling and imminently threw his head up like an animal spotting his pray. There he was. Tyrese stood a couple of trees away; looking scared for the first time.

"Oi" Daryl shouted and was about to run before he heard a gun shot fill the air.

A shock overwhelmed him; he quickly looked down his body but only to find himself standing there perfectly. He looked towards Tyrese and watched as his body fell fast to the floor and his head gashing with blood from the unseen bullet. Daryl raised his crossbow knowing he is not alone. He could hear constant heavy breathing from a little distance; it almost sounded like a young human breathing hard reputably. Daryl turned a little to find a girl; she looked young and well except for her dirty brown baggy top and her pants. Her ginger with a mix of brown hair was flowing down to her shoulders. He could just make out her freckles covering her body until he looked down in her hand where she had a gun. She raised her gun quicker then he registered and shot his hip making him fall; she sidestepped watching as his bow flew passed her and hit the tree behind.

"Daryl!" Carol shouted running towards him. She kneeled down and placed his head on her knees.

"Stay with me" Carol cried. Daryl was mumbling but she couldn't work it out. "I love you. I love you so much. You can't leave me" Carol was at breaking point but she didn't care, she didn't care if every walker heard her right now.

"I've got him!" Maggie ran towards Carol and Daryl. She kneeled down and started to put pressure on his wound. Rick came shortly after looking at Daryl and then at Tyrese body. He turned his head to find the girl still.

"Who the fuck are you?" Rick shouted at her.

"I'm whoever ya want me to be" The girl spat back putting the gun in her pants and pushing out Daryl arrow from the tree.

"You shot two of our men" Rick reminded the girl.

"There asses appeared from nowhere. I thought they where walkers" The girl handed over the arrow to Rick. Maggie and Carol looked up from what they where doing surprised she used the word walkers. Who was this girl?

"Rick, we need to go!" Maggie shouted

"We are losing him" Carol cried. His pulse was low; she was convinced that he was already gone. No, she had to be strong; Daryl was strong nothing could kill a Dixon but a Dixon. Michonne now turned up; she scanned the girl and then started to help Carol and Maggie move Daryl back towards the mansion.

"Your coming with us" Rick ordered the girl.

"What! No, my adopted dad said never join groups" The girl told.

"You are coming with us, now!" Rick shouted dragging her back.

They all got back to the mansion; Daryl was lying on the bed in their room as Maggie and Beth got the bullet out which thankfully went in as a whole. The problem was now that the wound wouldn't stop bleeding.

"When you wake up I am not going to let you live this down. I told you not to do anything stupid and what do you do?" Carol chuckled a sob remembering his similar words.

"Carol?" Maggie put her hand on Carol shoulder.

"He's gone isn't he?" Carol cried.

"No, but we can't stop the bleeding. We would get someone to give him blood but we are unsure who has the same blood type as him if we had Merle w-"

"So what happens now?" Carol cut of Maggie.

"Beth will carry on putting pressure on the wound but he could die of blood loss" Maggie said walking away out the room to inform the others. As she closed the door she hear Carol crying.

"What! Take a picture it lasts longer" The girl said to Michonne.

"I would if I had a camera" Michonne deep calm voice spoke. They where sitting; waiting outside Carol and Daryl's room.

"What's your name?" Glenn asked trying to take his mind and everyone else's from Daryl injury.

"Tiffany" Tiffany nodded once.

"Tiffany?" Rick asked for her last name

"That does not concern you" Tiffany shot back.

"You look awfully familiar" Carl stated. Maggie stepped out the room and everyone rose to hear the news.

"We got the bullet out. But we can't stop the bleeding, no one has his blood type" Maggie said simply before she started to cry in Glenn's arms. Everyone else looked like they where starting to morn.

"It's my entire fault" Maggie cried.

"Dixon is going to be fine. He is strong" Rick announced but somehow it was more for the benefit of him.

Dixon

"If I never had told him where Tyrese was this wouldn't have happened" Maggie rambled on.

Dixon

"That's not true" Glenn comforted her.

"WAIT! Wait, wait, wait!" Tiffany screamed getting everyone's attention.

"Hold ya fuckin' horses!" She continued and raised her hands. "Did ya just say Dixon?" Tiffany watched as Rick nodded.

"Merle Dixon?" Tiffany asked again.

"No, Daryl Dixon. Why? Do you know Merle?" Rick stepped forward as everyone burnt holes at Tiffany.

"I can give him blood. I have his blood type" Tiffany said ignoring Rick and speaking to Maggie.

"What? No, we don't know that for sure. Giving him the wrong blood can kill him" Maggie spoke up pulling away from Glenn.

"We have the same blood" Tiffany snapped.

Daryl will be fine! R&R
