CHAPTER ELEVEN: BACK FROM THE DEAD
DDPOV
Where did they go I would have thought that they went left like they were supposed to head and towards the roadblock where we left supplies for Sophia but they weren't there? I wanted to go look for them but Rick said it was best that we stay together. Why does this keep happening to me? First Merle disappears and now Delta and Caitlyn. I needed to find them, I know she can look after herself, she had proved that time and again but they are on their own.
We stayed put till the dawn and started to move on, I didn't want to but we couldn't go back towards the farm.
DELPOV
They have locked us in a room for what felt like several hours. The man that called me girlie came back in he sat down in front of us, Caitlyn was hugging me, she was scared but I'd never let anything happen to her.
The man said "So girlie what's your name?"
"Well the names not girlie it's Delta and this is Caitlyn. Do I have a reason to be scared?"
"Not if you do the right thing it's not normal to be driving around at the middle of the night?"
"Well it's not my normal routine, but the place where we were staying was overrun and we escaped. By the way you know my name who am I talking to?"
"The name's Merle Dixon."
I think you could have knocked me over with a feather. Daryl would be happy Merle was alive only now Daryl was missing. What is it with these Dixons and getting lost? I laughed he looked at me as if to say why was I laughing. I said "That's funny it must be a thing with you Dixons? One gets lost and the other is found."
"You know my brother?"
"Yes" I must have had a look on my face a merle then said "Oh you have a thing for a Dixon boy. Is he ok? Where is he?"
"He was ok when I last saw him, I'd be with him if I knew where he was I think I took a wrong turn went right instead of left."
"I'm gonna talk to the headman here and you will be looked after and the two of you won't have to worry, if Daryl cared for you then you are ok."
We stepped outside it was like a town here lights and everything, it was pretty heavily guarded. Merle led us to a two story apartment block. He said as he opened the door that it was his place and that the maid wasn't in but there was room for us in here for the night then we can find somewhere else, as there were plenty of room here to stay. He's place wasn't much but it sure as hell beat a tent which we had been staying for the last 6 weeks. I thanked him and said that we won't be in your way but I need a shower and it's been a rough night. Merle said he wants to know what happened I said I would tell him after I showered, I called Caitlyn to follow me, I mean I trusted Daryl with her but I don't know Merle and if he was as rough as everyone said at the camp then I had to look out for her.
There is one thing I love more than anything else in this world, that is a hot shower haven't had one of those in such a long time, usually we washed in the creek more often than not I wasn't washing if I was with Daryl, oh god I may never see him again, I crumpled on the floor of the shower and was being sick and crying, I hoped he was ok.
I came out of the shower wrapped in a towel I didn't want to put my bloody clothes back on and the rest of my stuff was in the car which I wouldn't get till the morning. "Woo hoo girlie I can see why my baby bro likes you. You sure you don't want some of this? I'm the better brother; don't think not having this hand hurts me, I got it all where it counts."
"No, one Dixon is about all I can handle, but I could use something to wear and where do we sleep? I can only see one room and the lounge."
"You don't have to worry you can have the bed I have to go back and finish my watch which you disrupted. You're not lying about him being alive, to keep yourself safe?"
I couldn't think of a more horrible thing to do "No, I loved your brother, I don't know if he is still alive there were so many of them at the farm, but I feel like he is alive and I have to believe that is the truth not just wishing my life away".
Merle gave me a shirt to wear, it had a faint smell to it and it reminded me of Daryl so I didn't mind, Caitlyn was asleep when I finally got to bed. I cried myself to sleep and hoped he was okay.
