CHAPTER 28:
Rachel's heart felt like it was going to sink; she couldn't believe what her eyes were witnessing. He pulled an arrow, and was walking towards the gate, but she knew what he was talking about, by asking her if she wanted to feel how he felt. Xavier was her everything in this world; so for her to say it's not the end of the world was not fair! Because to him, his attachment had grown so fast and so random; sometimes those are the hardest deaths to get past.
"Xavier, let him go."
Merle was proud of his brother, shoot they didn't need anyone, they were blood! That's all they needed, each other, their own flesh and blood. The older brother looked back and winked at Rachel, "Bye darlin' so nice to see you's again." His voice was overly sarcastic, and smartass like. He waited for Daryl to unlock the first sets of gates.
Xavier backed away hesitantly, as he watched the hunter put his bow back into its case. Looking at the dog he quietly said, "Watch after 'er boy."
"You say somethin'?" Merle asked as he thought he heard his brother mumble something, but wasn't sure.
"Naw," He slid the first gate open, then a few seconds later jiggled the keys lose to unlock the second gate. "let's 'et goin' we don't need 'em."
