I do not own or Profit from The Walking Dead

Chapter 10

Daryl and Rick raced back to the guardhouse to meet up with the rest of their crew who had been walking the perimeter along different portions of the front half of the fence. His heart was racing as the gunfire increased. Wong was on the radio, and he shot Daryl a look of concern.

Turning the radio off he looked at the group "The clinic is under attack...we have to move, Dixon maybe.."

"Don't even fucking say it, I'm going, that's my wife, I'm going" Daryl responded in a quietly intense voice.

Wong nodded "Alright just keep your cool and stay with Rick"

Jumping into the vehicles they headed out. The compound was large it took on average about 5-10 minutes in a vehicle to make it to the back fence and the clinic next to it.

Daryl, Rick, Tyreese, Michonne and Reynold's were in one vehicle. Reynolds was driving and took the turns at a fast and furious pace causing them to have to brace themselves against the door. He eyed Daryl through the rear view mirror.

"Don't worry Thomas and Miller will protect her...Sacha too" Reynolds said nodding at Tyreese.

Staring out the window Daryl took deep calming breaths, this was his nightmare. When he found her he was never going to let her out of his sight again. This can't be happening, I can't be too late...don't you dare do this to me he thought as scenes from his latest dream flirted through his mind. He knew without a shadow of a doubt if something happened to Carol he would never recover. She was his lifeline, the one thing in this fucked up world that kept him sane. He needed her, he refused to allow her to be ripped away from him. No fucking way, this was not happening again.

The sounds of gunfire were continuing and if anything becoming more and more intense. Daryl's heart clenched in his throat. They could see coming up in the distance a breach in the fence being covered by several armed men.

"They ain't staying" Reynolds whispered under his breath

"What the fuck are you talking about" Daryl snapped out.

"They're guarding the exit point they came for something." Reynolds responded as he slowed the car down. "We go on foot now,"

Jumping out they darted in behind a building meeting up with Glenn's group and Wong, working their way towards the clinic laying down cover fire and getting closer.

Catching his breath behind a cement barricade Daryl looked at Rick

"All this for medical supplies? What the fuck ? they could get that anywhere"

Reynolds looked at Daryl suddenly in shock "You're right!...They're here for the staff! Fuck it's the only think that makes sense! What's more valuable right now than supplies? Medical staff..doctors, nurses, medics...fuck!"

Rick furrowed his brow as Reynolds took a shot "Daryl, I'm sure that's not the case..."

"No..he's right...but if one fucking hair on her head gets hurt...I ain't gonna stop until every single one of those motherfuckers regrets the day they were born."he responded.

"There moving, we gotta get closer Come'on" Reynolds said. They were able to take cover behind a millitary armored vehicle parked very close to the front door of the clinic. Suddenly the door swung open, a man stepped out with Carol, her hands tied a gun pointed to her head. Daryl dropped his crossbow and made a move to be stopped by Rick, restraining him from behind "Daryl, you go out there now they will kill you in front of her...that what you want brother?"

"Let me go Rick..."Daryl said in a steely tone overwhelming Rick with his struggles that Tyreese had to help retrain him.

Daryl watched in horror the man with the gun on Carol suddenly wrapped his arm around her neck his gun rubbing along her jaw. One of the gunmen handed him a baseball bat, the end wrapped in barbed wire.

"Well look at that sweet thing, appears you got yourself a champion out there" he said to Carol as he ran his tongue up her neck, the arm holding her neck squeezed harder and Carol seemed to be struggling to breath. Reynolds jumped in to restrain Daryl who was fighting the hold Tyreese and Rick had on him.

"I'm gonna fuckin kill you" Daryl screamed out.

"Ahh ain't that sweet...who's your champion little mouse? Huh?" His arm squeezing her neck even further.

Daryl heard Carol gasp out "my husband"

"Alright husband here's what going to happen, we are walking out of here with your wifey here, along with the doctor, and a few others. If any of you make a move, or follow us, wifey here gets it first...we clear"

"No...no..." Rick clamped his hand over Daryl's mouth then called "yes we understand"

"Alright, your some reasonable people...I like, let's go boys."

The door opened two men carrying an unconscious Thomas came out followed by another man using Sacha as a shield and a nurse from the clinic. Leading them to a van, and loading them in. Daryl bit Rick's finger before the door closed and called out "I'm coming for you Carol! I love you" Before falling to his knees, calling out her name as sobs wracked his body and the van drove out through the fence.

AN#2 : before you decide to kill me just know that I will never kill Carol or Daryl in my stories( and probably not Rick- orphans make me sad) everyone else is possible :)
