Hey guys the next chapter is here! Now, I know that the it's been a little repetitive in the chapters before that and I'm sorry for it but it will eventually serve a purpose. So sorry for boring the hell out of you guys. There will still probably be some fights between the characters but not as many from here on out.
Chapter 14
Rick woke in the middle of the night to the sound of a motorcycle. He clambered out of bed and saw the Dixons pull into Shane's driveway. Shane walked out of his house a minute later, "What are you guys, crazy? That thing makes so much noise." Merle shrugged, "Whatever. What are we doing?" Daryl was bouncing, "Let's get the car. The house. Something. I want to vandalize something." Rick couldn't believe these kids. Shane nodded, "We will. But I don't have paint except for the paint from the guns." Merle shrugged, "We can find something." Shane shook his head, "You think we're going in my house? My dad is actually home for once in his life. We'll get caught. He's a freakin police officer." Daryl shrugged, "He's got a point, Merle." The three stood there for a few more minutes as Rick watched them. He wanted to know what they were planning. Then he could get his dad to stop them. Finally, Merle said, "Well maybe we can break into one of the stores down in the town that sells paint." Daryl grinned, "Who would do it?" Merle smirked, "Not sure." Rick was just about to leave the window to wake his dad when he heard Shane, "No, we can't. My dad has the watch schedule for the police. They'll be on now. The shift change won't happen for another hour and a half." "Shit!" Daryl said angrily, kicking a tree. Rick left the window and went downstairs quietly. He needed to get a better look. Merle sat down in the grass, "We have an hour. What should we do?" Shane shrugged, "I have no idea." Daryl paced for a minute, "Why don't we go walk or something? We'll get an idea." The two other boys agreed and they started on down the sidewalk. There was nothing Rick could do except wait for them to get back. He sat down on a chair by the window and waited.
It wasn't long before he heard yelling. He waited a few minutes but none of the boys showed up at Shane's house. He opened the door of his house and slowly went outside. He peered down the block and saw a group of seven boys. Three of them he knew. The other four were new - a different group of boys. Rick frowned as they closed in on Daryl's group. He heard Merle shout, "Go! Run! We can't fight these guys." As he shouted, two people launched themselves out of the group. The third wasn't so lucky. One of the gang members managed to grab his arm. "Guys wait! Come back! Help!" Rick knew the voice. He winced as the two bigger boys ran for their lives and pretended not to hear the younger Dixon's cries. "Merle! Shane! Please!" Daryl was yelling as the four other kids closed on him. Shane and Merle didn't turn around. As they ran past Rick's hidden form, he heard Merle say, "Should we go back for Daryl?" Shane shook his head, "We can't fight those guys off. And besides, he stole my girlfriend – he can fend for himself." Rick couldn't believe what he had just heard – they were going to leave Daryl to fight those guys alone.
Rick turned his attention back to the group of boys. Two of them were holding Daryl but he was still putting up a fight. "Get your freakin hands off me! Sons of bitches!" he yelled angrily. He kicked one of the kids in the shin but the kid held fast. Rick hadn't expected that to work – all those kids were huge. The youngest kid had to be Merle's age. The biggest one stepped forward and said something Rick couldn't hear, to one of the boys holding Daryl. The kid nodded and kicked Daryl's legs out from under him. His knees hit the ground hard. Rick winced. Although, Daryl's arms were still being held, he was on his feet in an instant and he knocked one of the kids off of him and jumped on the second kid. The first kid he had hit got up quickly and grabbed Daryl off of the second boy. Daryl struggled to get out of the kid's grip but the kid held strong. The kid holding him delivered a punch to Daryl's side and the younger boy stopped moving.
The leader nodded and moved forward and this time Rick heard him, "Hold his head steady. Don't let him move." The kid holding Daryl grabbed his head. The leader stepped forward and blocked Rick's view for a minute. When he moved, Rick saw that Daryl was blindfolded. Daryl couldn't see so he couldn't fight back or see the hits that were coming at him. He was totally defenseless. This was not fair. The leader stepped back with a small smile on his face, "Well let's get the fun started then, shall we?" Daryl turned his head towards the leader, "Screw you!"
