I rode back with Daryl, I hugged on to him tightly fearing the things Randall was going to tell them. What if they lose their trust for some of the things that happened? Did Shane have something to do with them finding us? The thoughts surrounded my mind, I took in the smell of Daryl's leather vest. I wanted to take it all in before things might be ripped from me. Daryl must have known something was up because he gently squeezed my hand that was wrapped around him. He wasn't very affectionate around the group but he had his moments.

When we arrived back to the farm, Hershel rushed to Beth and Maggie while Rick and Daryl carried our new prisoner into the barn that was now cleansed of walkers.

"What are you going to do with me?" Randall was practically begging.

"How many more are in the group?" Daryl knelt down and pushed his knife into the wound on his leg.

Randall let out a scream,breathlessly trying to respond "Why don't you ask your girlfriend over there?! Give her the same treatment!" I lunged forward, Rick held me back.

"I left! Anyone in their right mind would!" I jerked away starting to pace away.
Daryl twisted the blade in further. "Answer the damn question!"

"Ow! Damnit ok! A-A-About 30!" Randall pulled against the cuffs around the post.
"Would they be looking for you?" Rick questioned.

Randall glanced up at me, "They looked for you! Especially when a friend of yours came across our path." Randall smiled at me then shouted as Daryl fished the blade in again.

I started to panic, "I-I-I gotta go." I headed out as I heard Randall shout back to me "Would they forgive what you've done?!"

Rick sent Daryl out after me to ask me more questions. I went straight to my tent and started packing my stuff up. "Wait where are you going?!" Daryl stood in front of me.

I plopped down onto my cot. "Daryl, there are things that group did..."I looked up at him "That I helped with, I never knew what they did to the people until after..." I sighed as I rummaged through my pack pulling the notebook out. "Here,read it. It will tell you everything." Daryl scanned the book only picking up pieces of the book,but seeing the honesty in my answer. "Save it,you can read it to me later. I believe you. Now tell me, who was this "Friend" that guy was talking about."

"I'm not sure but I have a clue... Last night, when I went to wash in the creek..." I could feel myself chocking up. " Shane came to me, he said if I tell Rick about him and Lori that he was going to tell my group I was alive. He must have already known who they were because he knew Tommy's name."
Daryl tightened his fist at the thought of Shane touching me let alone threatening. "Rick already knows. Lori told him. I going to stomp his ass!" Daryl shot out of the tent Looking for Shane again. "Daryl, Don't!" I followed closely trying to stop him but he ignored my came out of the barn with Rick, There was no stopping the situation now.

Daryl lunged at Shane throwing a punch that connected with his jaw. Rick stepped in between them. "I ever catch you near her again you're gonna be walker bait!" I grabbed Daryl's arm when he jerked away from Rick.

"I need to be alone!" Daryl snapped breaking away from my hold. I looked back at Rick who was sending Shane back to keep watch over Randall.

"Do I need to know what that was about?" I shook my head "Look Rick, I'm no saint. I was apart of that group but I never lied to you, There were things I had to do...to survive. I never knew the extent of the horrible things until later. That's when I left..." I told him about the altercation between Shane and I, keeping the sexual advances out. "The last thing I want is to start trouble, if you want me to go...I'll understand." I looked down at the grass beneath my feet, Rick looked at the barn for a moment and set his hand on my back.

"You don't have to go, but there is something you could do." He led me to the side. "Do you think they will come here?" I shrugged "Honestly Rick I'm not sure, I mean we killed Tommy, he was the so called "Leader", I know one thing for sure they arn't known for their smarts. " Rick nodded. "With Lori being pregnant and..." I interrupted Rick's sentence. "She's pregnant?" Rick continued "Which is why we have to be more careful, I don't need another thing on my mind." I ran my hands through my hair. "Ok, I'm going to take care of this...for the group."

Rick debated on what that could mean. "How?" I shot him a look.

"I'm going to make sure there is no second thoughts on them finding us, just keep an eye on Shane." Rick shook his head "We don't need another person skipping out,especially alone." I put my hand up. "Rick, this needs to be done. I will leave at first light and hopefully be back by the next evening. They are not good people Rick,not like...us. I won't let them taint something that means so much to me now. One more thing Rick, Don't say anything to Daryl, I don't need him feeling like he needs to jump in on this. At least if something happens to me,everyone here will be safe from them." Rick fell silent, he couldn't see anything around it without causing a stir. "Alright, you come find me before you leave, your gonna need ammo." With that the plan was set. I considered talking to Daryl,but I knew he needed to cool down. Plus I needed to set out a plan.

Daryl was no where to be seen most the evening, I buried myself into the map. concentrating on path ways and short cuts to the general area where the others settled. I circled the destination on the map. I went over my gun taking it apart and reassembling it, making sure of no flaws. Again I was having to plan a get away,to protect these people I found myself caring for.I only prayed that Daryl would be preoccupied until I left, I knew I wouldn't be able to keep these thoughts away from him.

Daryl found a spot further out of some piled up bricks that looked to be an old foundation. He started to angrily work on his arrows. "What are you doing? Fuck." He was mumbling to himself. Hating his new feelings of feeling closer to Angel,after he promised to mind his own when it came to this group. He felt it was useless to get close to someone in this world, even before this hell he didn't trust anyone. All he had was his brother, and that's all Merle told him too. Now he was gone. "Ain't no one worth it Darylina, Just your older brother, I'm the only one that would give two shits about you." His brother's words broke into his thoughts. Daryl broke the stick he was working on,it was time he started to heed his brother's words. But how was he going to stay away from the woman he cared for? He sat there for several moments before heading back to her. "Fuck this and fuck you Merle for making me this way" he cursed to himself.

I was jarred out of my thoughts when I saw Daryl step into my tent. Before I could say anything Daryl gripped my hair and pulled me in for a hungry kiss. I quickly responded teasing my tongue with his. I mentally was yelling at myself for this but rationalized it as my possible last moment in his arms.

He feverishly pulled me against him as I worked his vest off. Feeding into the hot sensation pulsing through my body. I nearly ripped his shirt off as I pushed him down to the bed, straddling him I took in his sight of him,vulnerable under me burning it into my mind. I lifted my shirt off hearing him growl under his breath. He leaned up biting into the base of my neck making me fling my head back gasping. I slid my nails down his back,this made him push my hips down against his groin making him moan into my ear. Daryl worked my bra off with one hand as the other slid into my hair,gripping a fist full as he kissed me making a invisible line to my breasts. I responded with a moan, running my fingers through his hair. He picked me up and flipped me down onto the bed continuing to kiss and suck my neck. "Oh my God!" I moaned out arching myself against him. I roughly started to work at the button on his pants, his hand met mine and quickly opened the button and zipper. I used my legs to help push them off revealing his hard throbbing member. He roughly worked at mine, nearly jerking them off of me with my panties in tow. Daryl looked down my body then back up to my eyes biting his lip. I felt high, taking his blue gaze in for only a second. I pulled him down for a passionate kiss and wrapped my legs around his waist. I let out a loud gasp feeling his hard dick take me over. "Fuck..." Hearing him respond sent me over the edge.

We moved in a fast heated rhythm. I arched to match each of his thrusts, his moans were right into my ear making me lose every bit of control I had. "Fuck...Daryl.." I groaned between my clenched teeth. I kissed him again using his mouth to muffle my noises of passion. Just as I felt myself reaching the highest point of euphoria we both met each other's gaze,releasing everything we had onto one another. Daryl slowed to a few shuttering thrusts, filling me up. He collapsed, everything around us was silent except for our heavy breathing.
"Damn woman, you felt incredible." He rolled to his side next to me. I smiled, still feeling the after shocks run through me. "That was...the best." I laid my head on his chest tracing his tattoo. We both laid in silence, I heard a slight snore from him and smiled to myself. The smile quickly faded when I remembered the task I volunteered for in just a few hours... "Please forgive me, Daryl."I whispered quietly under my breath.

So that was my first smut chapter, I'm very nervous about this. I hope you enjoyed it! What do you think is going to happen when she leaves?
