Author's note: okay. Uhm. This chapter is where shit gets uhm, Heavy and things get sexual. But there is a warning line before the sexual stuff happens. so. If you don't want to read past that line, just yeah. This is the last chapter for now. All the chapters before this were all pre-written and have been sitting around for a long time. Ive been posting them some place else. But eh. It is. 11/23/12 as I write this note. Chapter 13 is in progress and almost done, so I shall upload that soon. I hope you guys have enjoyed everything so far. I am trying my hardest, I really am. To be honest, Ive never written this much before. Anything on my profile hasn't gotten past 1 chapter, Sadly I am not sure how to even finish them or anything. They are probably just going to sit there. Sorry for that. Well here is the last one for now till I have more written up. Enjoy. And like I said. Everything past that warning line, Is smut.

I could feel myself passing out and the only thing keeping me from completely doing so was Daryl, He was carrying me and he kept talking to me, I was lazily looking around at everything and we seemed to have ended up in a dining hall slash school looking lunchroom.

He set me down in a chair at a table and Jenner began to serve up food and drinks.

My god I could smell the fresh steak in front of me with the side of potatoes and corn, I felt like I was in heaven. Daryl sat down next to me. A smile crept on my face as I stared at my food. We looked at each other with small smiles. It was nice to see him happy. And I don't really think he saw me truly happy, aside from the only two birthday gifts I got, The crossbow from Krista and then the beautiful flower he gave me. I sat there digging into my meal, and Dale passed around some wine, Everyone was talking and laughing. Man, I never thought I'd see something like this. I really did hope we'd stop running finally.

"Would you like some wine, Evy?" Dale offered, I couldn't say no. I raised my glass towards him with a bright smile, "Thank you." I said rocking left and right like a happy child. At the corner of my eye as I was taking a drink I felt Shane glare into me. I ignored it the best I could and continued on with my drinking and being joyful.

Everyone was sitting and chatting. And laughing and just having a great time. It was nice to just watch everyone have fun for once. I sat back in my chair with my hands resting behind my head.

And then I felt Daryl's hand resting on my leg as he sat back in his chair, Relaxed, with his glass of wine in the other. I looked over at him grinning I slipped my hand under the table and did the same. I felt most at peace when I was with him. Strange considering he would get kind of violent, but then again. So would I. He got up reaching for a glass and the bottle of wine. Egging Glenn on to drink some., Rick stood up tapping on a glass with his fork and suggested we had thanked our host, We all raised our glasses to Jenner and thanked him and abruptly Daryl let out a "Booyah!" I face palmed and snickered quietly to myself and thought, "My god. This man is going to be the death of me..." and I was perfectly okay with it. I liked him, Even though it had only been a few days, There were just things about him I liked, And strangely he enjoyed my company, I didn't really think he'd enjoy the company of a woman, I guess I was different from the others. My attitude seemed kind of refreshing to him I suppose, but when you think about it, I wasn't like other females, Especially the ones here, I like them, they are nice to me and all but they really did stay true to themselves. Whiny. And I guess that is why Daryl has payed any attention to me, My attitude isn't like theirs, I didn't take shit from people, Daryl witnessed that the few times he caught Shane harassing me, so I guess in a way I was like a guy, just with a pair of tits and other assets. And I never thought in a million years I'd enjoy the presence of a man. No offense. Don't get me wrong I wasn't so into women that I would just swear off men. I just was picky with my men. Same with my women. And at times I did like the cuties and pretty boys. But truthfully, I loved bad boys with a bit of scruff, made it even better when they were sensitive too. It became a major turn on. One that I couldn't help it.

Everyone's Laughter and joy was soon brought to an end, And of course, By the hands of Shane.

"So, when you gonna tell us what the hell happened here doc?" Jenner looked back at Shane, Waiting for his turn to speak as he continued; "All the other doctors that are supposed to be figurin' out what happened. Where are they?" I sat there and my head hung, I knew where this was going. And it wasn't going to be good, Couldn't we just have one day of peace?, I felt Daryl rest his hands on my shoulders, I looked up at him from where I was sitting, I lightly set my hands on his. I looked back at my glass of wine, wondering where all the wine in it went, trying so very hard to drown out Shane's voice by wondering if Daryl has his hands on my shoulders because he wants them there? Or because he thinks he should hold me back from slapping Shane? Daryl and I didn't know each other that well but he knew me well enough to know that Shane disgusted me.

Rick was trying to stop Shane from continuing on, because even HE knew it wasn't the time for this.

"Wait a sec, Isn't this why we're here?, This was your move, Supposed to get answers. 'stead, found him" he said pointing at Jenner " Found one man, Why..?"

Jenner looked at his glass, and replied back

"Well when things got bad, Lotta' people just..Left. Went off to be with their families, And when things got worse, When the military here got overrun,- " As Jenner continued on I Sighed heavily, I wanted really badly to say something but I figured now wasn't the time, I started to tune back into the conversation to Jenner saying how people "Opted out"

"You didn't leave, Why?" Asked Andrea, She hasn't really spoken since the death of her sister.

Jenner looked at Andrea now and said; "I just kept working, Hoping-To do some good.

Glenn got up and walked around the room, kind of drunk, like the rest of us, looked at Shane and said " Dude, You are such a buzz-kill."

We all started to sit up and and Jenner escorted us down another corridor full of rooms complete with showers and hot water, There was a Rec. room with a small library

I stood there in shock. "Did- Did he just say hot water?"

T-dog looked towards us all and smiled, "That's what the man said"

And with that, We all scurried into our own rooms to unpack some things.

Daryl just laid there on the bed in the room we were going to share, We didn't even talk about it either, We just already knew what each other wanted. We knew we were the only people that could really tolerate each other anyways and there wasn't enough rooms to begin with. He laid there on the bed and began to think, Staring at the ceiling,

"I!, am going to take a nice hot shower-" I stopped myself there, My face was going to say things. It probably shouldn't of. He glanced over at me smirking and just continued to stare at the ceiling then got up to snoop around.

It was nice to step into a hot shower, It's been so long since I have felt the hot water attack down at my skin. After I was done and turned the water off, I heard some rustling around outside the bathroom and it sounded like it was coming from my room. I thought to myself "Oooh Daryl's back, I should surprise him." . I stepped out of the steamy room with only a towel and there was Shane instead "shit..." I thought to myself. I was everything but safe, I was 100% vulnerable. Kind of drunk, and nearly naked.

"Shane. Get out of my room."I said sternly and I could tell he was heavily drunk. He came at me and I tried to dodge but he grabbed me by my shoulders and threw me down on the bed. I was scared shitless at this point.

He crawled on the bed over me and straddled me, pinning me down I tried to scream but all there was just muffles and tiny squeaks. I heard the door open and close shut immediately. It was Daryl, He pried and ripped Shane off of me, I gathered up the sheets to cover up and searched for my towel, Watching the scene before me, Daryl was beating the shit out of Shane. I ran out of the room in a Towel I didn't care. I found Lori in the Rec. Room and told her something was going on and I needed her help, and to get Rick. She called for him who was down the hall, Lori told Carol to stay with the children, I came back into the room and Shane had a black eye growing and a busted nose. Daryl Came up to me and held me tight. Lori was in shock, Her and Daryl were making sure I was okay and then she took me into her arms, and Rick Slightly drunk but not like Shane. Rick still had sense, He still knew right from wrong. He dragged Shane up shutting the door behind him, trying to be quiet as possible so he didn't wake the others or scare the children.

"What the hell are you doing, Shane!?" rick said holding on tight to Shane's shirt collar.

Shane's words were slurred, on account of being heavily drunk and having the sense knocked out of him. Rick dragged him out of the room and into his own, Lori looked down at me and she had fear and anger written all over her face

"Evy, you look at me now, I will take care of this sweety," She then pulled me into a tight embrace and looked and spoke to Daryl "Daryl.." He looked up at her and she continued on. " Thank you- " Like the mother she was, Her instincts kicked in and she knew what was going on with me and Daryl, considering I am always near him, She didn't object or spread it around, but she knew and she noticed things, but she wasn't going to spread it around, It wasn't anyone's business and she knew that as well as I did, The look in her eye changed as she continued on with what she was saying to Daryl; "- You take good care of this young woman now, Ya hear?" He nodded a silent "yes" and then She patted him on the shoulder and looked at us both and apologized for what happened and then headed out of the room and shut the door quietly, Daryl looked down at me and before I could get a word out he put his hands on both sides of my face and he pulled me into a kiss, It was hot and loving, and full of passion, I never expected something like that to come from him. Now I wasn't saying he was incapable of loving me or anyone else, This was just a surprise. Everything that just happened within the past 10 to 15 minutes was just all surprising. A huge shock., He pulled away from the kiss and we were then just searching for air, Our foreheads were against one another.

"I ain't gonna let that fucker' come near ya' again." He pecked my forehead and held onto me tight again. "I'm sorry I left, I should'-" Right there I cut him off, I did NOT want him feeling like shit, So I Leaned up on my tippy toes and kissed him and pulled him down, I held his face and looked him in the eye and said to him; "Hey, No, don't you DARE even try to blame yourself." He still felt guilty and I could see it in his eyes. "It's not your fault, In any way." He looked down at me and looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. I just let it be, I figured there was enough hell and craziness tonight, I didn't want to pry and be annoying, We walked over to the bed to lay there. Not sure if any of us would sleep yet. It was still pretty early, At least it felt it, we really weren't sure, there was no clocks around. We just laid there and he looked over at me grinning

"What?" I stared at him confused

"Yer still in tha' towel there." trying to change the subject the best he could, I could tell, he didn't want to think about what just happened, because if he did? He'd probably go after Shane and things would be worse then.

I looked down and remembered and went "OH. Right. Okay. Uhm. Clothes. Must find them." I got off the bed looking around for my clothes laughing to myself because of how forgetful I am. I stood up looking around, I turned around and something flew at my face, " What the-, What?" I took it off my face and looked at it "Oh, underwear, Hey wait. This isn't a shirt." He flung another piece of clothing at me, Pulled it off my face and it was one of his shirts. " Is there some reason you are giving me one of your shirts?, Not that it is a problem-" I said as I walked up closer to him and swung the shirt left and right in front of his face continuing on- "Just curious" I smirked. He looked down at me his face was flushing with a bit of red, It was amusing when he did that, Because to me? He was a hard-ass, who didn't give a shit. And yet, One tiny little girl broke him down, I still wanted to know, What was so special about me? What did I have that the other women didn't? I could understand if it was just my ability to apply common sense when talking, but What else aside what I already know.

"Im tired."I stood there in confusion with his reply, "Tired of?" I knew he wanted to finish that sentence. "Tired of everyone lookin' at ya'. 'specially Shane. He does it again I might beat his ass again, be worse next time.

I chuckled at the thought of Shane getting beat up again.

"So. Basically, you are trying to make it known that I am your "Property"? "

I could see the look in Daryl's eyes, It was written on his face, He thought I was going to get upset with him for insinuating such a thing as being his "property" because most women don't like that shit and are always like "I am no one's property!" this was quite an amusing situation, It was so strange to see Daryl like this. I looked at him with a huge grin and gave my honest response "Okay." and he stood there confused, I slipped on the underwear under the towel, turned around with my back facing him. Didn't care if he turned around or not, Threw a bra on and just slipped his shirt on like a vest, It was another button up sleeveless one. Didn't really give a shit to button it up either. Just left it open. He was still standing there unsure of what to say so I filled the air with my voice once again "I am not like all the other wretched females on this god forsaken planet, No offense, that get pissed off about that kind of thing. Or anything. It makes me feel protected. But that is only because it's with someone that I like. Now if it was Shane saying this shit, Or worse, Never saying it, and just insinuating it, I'd get pissed and want to beat the shit out of him too." I grabbed him by his shirt and made him lay down, told him he needed some rest. He didn't try to fight it. We laid there in silence for a bit and after a couple of minutes he sat up and I asked him "what are you doing?" as I was asking he was peeling off his shirt. I could see different sizes of scars on his back and I could see his tattoo better, being closer and all, I sat up next to him and leaned my head on his shoulder and just randomly spoke out; "welp. Guess I don't need mine then." I took off the shirt I was only wearing as a vest and just decided to drape it over my head, and picturing myself in such a state, Made me laugh a little. I was only in boy-shorts and a bra, with a shirt on my head, I looked ridiculous. He looked down at me and chuckled " yer crazy."

I looked up at him and said " I know."

That was me, I just didn't care what anyone thought of me, I didn't care about the fact I was pretty much naked at the moment if it wasn't for the under-clothing, I just didn't care, I just wanted to live and that is what I was doing. And I saw it as a huge privilege to be with Daryl, and only I would know when he was like this, calm, and at peace, he had to be a hard-ass around everyone else so they understood he doesn't take shit from people, If he was squishy out there like he is with me, They'd walk all over him in two seconds. I know that as well as he does. I rather they are intimidated by Daryl, but I also rather they don't judge a book by it's cover, He really is a nice guy once you get to know him, Or maybe it really is just only me that he likes, Regardless. Rick and Lori saw a side of him no one else has but me, as Rick was dragging Shane out of the room from the fight earlier I could hear him saying to Shane he deserved getting the shit beat out of him. And with those thoughts I laid down with Daryl and laid my head on his chest and just hearing his heart beat was calming. It put me at ease, It was a nice human-y moment. All I would hear was the snarling and growling of the undead, It was nice to hear something else for a change, And with that I fell asleep

We got up that morning or whatever time it was,

Sadly I had to put clothes on. I wasn't really keen on them in the morning or just waking up. I looked over and noticed Daryl was missing but I heard the shower turn on, I was curious So I knocked on the door, Being still squishy with my emotions, I never been physically close to men when they were in such a state as him, He opened the door in only a towel, It's like he knew that would catch me off guard.

I stood there, My face flushed to red just like it did when we were in the quarry and in his tent and he was changing only his shirt and he caught me, And to think, that was only a day and a half ago, but this time seemed worse. I mean it was, considering all he had to do was unhook the towel around his waist that was just, Dangerously low as is, begging to be torn off, but I had to admit I was like an embarrassed sixteen year old who just walked in on their crush changing. Even though I was a twenty year old woman I was very squishy, and very embarrassed.

"H-hello?"I was quiet and tiny as I looked up at him and all he did was stand there and grin. And it wasn't just any grin. Oh no. nope. It was a purely devilish one, before I could get another word out he dragged me into the bathroom with him and pulled me into a kiss and pushed me up against the wall. At this point I knew something was going to happen, I couldn't get out of this in any way shape or form, Not that I really wanted to anyways. So as per usual I give into myself and indulge

(*Points at you* If you are twelve. Skip this chapter now. Everything below this line is smut)

So as per usual I give into myself and indulge in the moment. Mentally I said fuck it and flipped a desk and as much as I hated the phrase, I used it "yolo" because now? Yeah, It did kind of apply, You do only live once, I'm not saying you should do lines and scream "yolo"when you're done, No. Say yolo once and do that one thing you are one hundred percent sure of in your life, and make it good, catch the opportunity before it's long gone, and to me, That is just what I was doing,

He pulled away from the kiss to find air. As did I. I snaked my hands down his chest, to his stomach to his towel and yanked it off, I grinned a naughty cheshire grin, holding the towel up and simply said "Oopsie" he looked at me raising a brow and did the same to me with my underwear, cept, he more like ripped them off instead of just pulling them down "hey! Those where my favorite."and did the same to me grinned and said "Oops" as he was dropping the remains to the floor I took the shirt off and he was about to reach for the bra when I instead caught his hands. Nope. You. Do not rip my bras, that is a no no. I like my bras."he just chuckled at me muttering something to me along the lines of "brat"

I unhooked it and he began to get really impatient now, Something just changed in his eyes almost instantly. He pressed me up against the wall completely so I had no place to move at all, he took my legs and wrapped them around his waist and kept me propped up against the wall and our lips crashed again, This time it was rough and hot, He held on tight to my tiny waist and moved us into the hot shower and immediately put me up against the wall again. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he pulled me into another kiss and trailed kisses and bites down to my neck I couldn't help but moan as he touched my sweet spot, I snaked my hand to his hair and gripped on it, Earning a little growl,

He held onto my waist tight he looked me in the eyes, "I'll be gentile-" He leaned in whispering into my ear "- Fer now." His voice sent shivers up my spine and with that, my hand still on the back of his head and my arm still wrapped around his neck, He gave me a peck on the cheek and entered in slowly, thrusting in and out slowly and carefully at first to let me adjust to him, I buried my face in his neck trying to muffle the moans, I wasn't sure who was awake and asleep, I didn't want to make too much noise, but Daryl made quick work of ruining the quietness, he started to dig his nails into my hips and his grip got rougher as he thrusted in faster and harder, My head fell back and hit against the shower wall behind me and I started to moan louder as I began to rock my hips back and forth to meet his thrusts, I had sex once. And it was not like this. Sadly it was expected because who I was with at the time, he was a virgin, Not a man.

I couldn't contain the moans flying out of my mouth. I gripped onto his hair and I tried to snake my other hand down but Daryl caught it and pinned it above my head and did the same with my other hand, and his thrusts became rougher, And I couldn't control the noise, It's like he wanted everyone to know what was going on, And with him pinning me up the way he was, It was pleasure and torture all at the same time. I couldn't grip onto anything and brace myself at all and things just felt more intense to me like this.

I couldn't take it anymore, I started to breathe heavy under the pressure, I couldn't contain it much longer. I moaned, nearly screamed out his name as I came, and he followed shortly after a few more thrusts, our breaths were ragged and heavy, I collapsed into him, my body still slightly spasming from the intense orgasm. Still holding onto me tight to make sure I didn't fall because I was losing my grip off of him.

After we headed out of the shower he stayed close to me, followed me around in places, was expected considering what happened last night. But I was too busy thinking about things to really pay too much mind to it. I was curious what just happened, was it heat of the moment? Love? Lust? What did I get myself into just now? And by how loud I got. I'm sure someone must have heard us. I got dressed, back into his shirt and my pair of jean short shorts, as I bent over to get my boots on I felt a hand hit my ass, I turned to Daryl, "Did you just- Just slap my ass?"He just stood there, grinning, he shrugged and walked off, well. Tried to considering I tackled him to the bed. I straddled him down and pinned his hands down on each side of his head. He was somewhat surprised but mostly amused by my wrestling with him. Grinning and amused at the sight of a shirtless Daryl under me ,I leaned down to hover over him and I gave him a sweet short kiss, which then turned into long kiss, I let go of his hands only to prop myself up better, His hands roamed everywhere on me from my chest to my back all the way down to my ass, being a cheeky bastard all of a sudden I felt him undo my shorts and slide his hand down them, He acknowledged how wet I was and it made him grin, Sliding a finger in and back out slowly to tease me, "jerk." I said to him starting to moan again, It was torture, A slow, evil, unbearable torture, Just that one finger grinding in and out slowly as possible. Getting aggravated I undid his pants and slipped them down just enough to slide my hand down his pants, he looked me dead in the eye and called me a bitch, I couldn't help but smirk, I began pumping him slowly, teasingly just as he was doing to me with that one evil finger, He let out a satisfied moan and never breaking eye contact he stuck in another finger and went faster, I let out a gasp and shut my eyes at the feeling, I couldn't take it anymore, I begged him to fuck me. And I bet that is just what he wanted me to do too. Beg.

He obliged to my request by slipping out his fingers, I let go of him, he rolled us over so he was on top, He yanked my shorts off with an attitude "This shits in ma' way , girl." he said, throwing them across the room, amused. He was kneeling in front of me on the bed, He grabbed me by my thighs and roughly pulled me to him, He leaned down, hovering over me, and without warning he entered me, roughly.

Everything was different about this time compared to the shower earlier, It was nothing but rough and dirty.

He lifted a leg and put it over his waist, He used one hand to prop himself up above me and his other hand to hold my other leg, Keeping a firm grip on it as he pounded into me, Moans escaping again. There was no water this time to buffer out any noise. We were in complete silence, Not once did we feel bad for the children, Even though Carol, Lori and Rick might be a little displeased with us. We didn't care at the moment..

I threw my hands above my head to grip the headboard as he was attacking my body, trying to contain the moans, but once again I fail, It's like Daryl knew when I was trying to hold back. He wrecked the silence by giving my body one hard thrust, Earning a loud moan, near pleasure filled scream as I said his name, He let go of my leg, sliding his hands up to my hip and clutched onto it as I rocked under him to meet his thrusts. He became confused for a few moments when I used all my force to push him off, Only to sit on top of him this time, I took off the shirt and damn near ripped off my bra, He stopped being confused and got the picture, I didn't realize how much he filled me up till I was on top being impaled by him. I bounced up and down on him fast and rough to keep up with the pace he went into when he was on top, He seemed to like taking control of things, He pulled me down a bit and leaned up to me, Our lips had crashed together again for a few moments till he crashed back down dragging his hands down to my breasts giving them a rough squeeze before sliding his hands down further gripping onto my hips hard as he thrusted up into me, I threw my head back, moaning out all sorts of things, His name, and obscenities, I couldn't take it much longer, I came and collapsed on him, He grabbed my ass roughly and kept me down on him as he came.

"Devil woman" He murmured into my ear, I giggled a bit at the comment as I kissed his neck.

I rolled over off him and we just laid there till he blurted out "I want me sum' food."

I couldn't help but smile and laugh a little, Tired as I was, I dragged myself up to get dressed, I could use some food too.. Even with the apocalypse we could still be human at times. And that is what made me want to continue on, I wanted to fight for something better.
