Chapter 2:

Seed

Once they informed the other about the prison, they carefully made their way down from the railroad tracks to the prison gates. There weren't very many walkers outside of the prison, so they didn't have to worry to approach the fence. While Rick starts to cut the fence so the group can get within the prison exterior, everyone gathered with their backs to Rick, keeping an eye on the few walkers that were appearing from the forest.

As one of the walkers started stumbling closer towards them, Glenn hurried forward and pushed it into the fence with a shovel to hold him down while Maggie came up behind him and bashed its head in with a hammer.

"Watch the backside!" T-Dog warned

"Got it."

When Rick finished making a hole big enough for them to squeeze through, he ushered everyone through it. "Hurry, hurry!" Rick said to T-Dog as he got in quickly. When it was just Rosalyn and Rick outside of the fence, Rick hesitated, motioning for her to go through before him.

"You go first" she shook her head and gave his shoulder a light push, indicating for him to go first. Rick rolled his eyes and squeezed through, with Rosalyn right behind him. She still prioritizing the safety of other people more than her own.

As soon as Rosalyn got in, Glenn and Darylstepped up to tie back the fence so no walkers can enter behind them. Rosalyn turned around when she heard a sound of walkers moaning coming from behind them. The walkers from the prison yard had spotted them and were making their way over to them, thinking that they reached them.

She turned back around to see Glenn has finished tying up the fence and then, a female walker threw herself toward him only to smash into the fence as Glenn jumped back with a surprised yelp before he turned towards Maggie to take his weapon.

Now that they has tied the fence, they din't have to worry about any walkers following them into the walkway. They started to make their way towards the front entrance, stopping at the prison gates. They paused to put down their stuff and observe the prison yard a bit more closely.

Rosalyn looked at an overturn bus that was set up in front of the entrance, but it wasn't exactly in the way of the gate so it doesn't block any of their path. She then averted her eyes to look across the yard at another entrance where the last guard tower was stationed. The gate at the other side that was separating the yard from the courtyards was still open, allowing the walkers from the prison pour into the yard, filling the yard with even more of walkers.

Rick stares at the front gate "It's perfect" Rick muttered for the second time "If we could shut that gate, prevent more from filling the yard... We can pick off these walkers. We'll take the field by the night"

"But how do we shut the gate?" Hershel questioned

"I'll do it," Glenn volunteered. "You guys cover me."

"No, it's a suicide run," Maggie shook her head

"I'm the fastest." He replied simply

"No. You, Maggie, Nicole, Beth, Nathaniel and T-Dog draw as many as you can over there." He motioned to the walkway on the other side of the entrance. "Pop 'em through that fences. Daryl, you go back to the other tower. Carol, you've become a pretty good shot. Take your time. We don't have a lot of ammo to waste. Hershel - you, Carl, and Christopher take this tower." He nodded up to the tower right behind him.

Carl nodded. "All right."

"Rosalyn and I will run for the gate." Rick said as she turned towards the blonde woman who gave him a nod

Nathaniel and Christopher looked towards their sister's gaze and nodded to her before leaving towards their spot. Rosalyn and Rick readied themselves before Lori opened the entrance gate, and the two of them shot out into the yard. As soon as ran out, everyone up in the towers started firing while the rest of the group started banging on the fence and shouting, trying to draw attention away from the two out in the field.

Rick and Rosalyn run towards the gate and kill some of the walkers that was coming towards them. They were about halfway to the fence when a bullet hit the ground directly in front of Rick, missing him by only a few inches. Both he and Rosalyn stopped and looked to the tower, at where Carol stood.

"Sorry!" the woman called down to them as they continued their way

Finally, they made it to the gate, and Rosalyn closed it quickly to prevent any more walkers inside the courtyard from filing out and allow Rick to lock it shut. As soon as it was closed, the two of them disappeared into the last tower.

"They did it," Carol breathed in relief.

Daryl cupped the side of his mouth as he shouted to the others. "Light it up!"

The rest of the group took out their firearms and started finishing off what remained of the walkers in the field, Rick and Rosalyn joining from the top of their tower. All that could be heard was the sound of gunfire. Rick chuckled lightly as Rosalyn grinned beside him while they continuied to shoot. Then the last walker fell to the ground and after that, it was silence.

Daryl and Carol walked back down the tower to join the others at the entrance.

"Fantastic!" Carol said excitedly

"Nice shootin'," Daryl said, earning a bright smile from the older woman.

Hershel reached out and patted Daryl on the back

"You okay?" Carol asked as she approached Lori, who was holding open the gate to let the others through into the field.

"Haven't felt this good in weeks," Lori smiled as Daryl patter her shoulder

Carol grinned and ran out into the field with Carl and Daryl behind her "We haven't had this much space since we left the farm!" she squealed as everyone else started filing out into the yard.

As Rick and Rosalyn approached the group, T-Dog shouted excitedly "Woo!"


When night fell, having taken the yard, everyone but Daryl and Rick sit down for a fireside meal. Daryl was up on the prison bus, keeping watch at the front gate, where everyone had parked their vehicles. Rick was walking around the perimeter over and over again. Christopher between his sister and Nicole while Nathaniel sat between Lori and Beth.

"Mmm," Glenn hummed as he finished his food. "Just like mom used to make."

Everyone chuckled lightly

"Tomorrow, we'll pull the bodies together," T-Dog said. "We wanna keep them away from that water now. If we could dig a canal under the fence, we'll have plenty of fresh water."

"And this soil is good too," Hershel added. "We could plant some seed. Grow some tomatoes, cucumbers, soy beans..." Hershel paused as he turned his head towards Rick "That is his third time around," he said, seeming unimpressed

Everyone followed his gaze to Rick who's walking slowly beside the fences "If there was any part of it compromised, he'd have found it by now," Hershel said.

"Rosalyn?" Carol called from across the fire, pulling the young woman's gaze to her. Carol was placing several cooked pieces of meat into a bowl and once it was fille, she held it out towars Rosalyn's direction. "Do you mind taking this up to Daryl?"

Rosalyn stared at her for a moment, she know that Carol was trying to help her to patch things up between her and Daryl. He had been avoiding her ever since she came back, and she didn't have the courage to talk with him either, she wasn't even sure why. She thougt that she would be happy to see Daryl again and she really was, but this felt awkward. It wasn't because she doesn't have any feelings towards him anymore, she felt for him maybe more than she had eight months ago.

It seems like he really was pissed at her, and that was the reason why she didn't dare to talk to him normally like she had did eight months ago. But when she thought about it for a moment, they couldn't ignore each other forever, because she was sure she was going to team up with him sooner or later in the future. She didn't want it to be awkward when the time comes and decided to take the oppurtunity to fix things between them.

Rosalyn took a deep breath and slowly stood up, taking the bowl from Carol "Thank you" she muttered to the woman who gave her a nod as a reply.

She walked slowly and carefully as if she were going to a war and she was sure that the others pretty much noticed it. She was worried about what kind of conversation that she should bring up to Daryl - No- she should be worried at how she would appologize to him, she didn't want to hear how angry he was at her, or how he no longer had any feelings for her.

She walked around to the under of the bus and forced herself to look up at Daryl, who was already staring down at her. She tried to give her usual, goofy grin, but all she was able to muster up was a small timid smile.

"Can I join you?" she mumbled

Daryl nodded and strapped his crossbow to his back so that he could reach a hand down to help Rosalyn up to the bus. Rosalyn stared at his hand for a moment before taking it, allowing him to help her up on the bus while she kept a hold of the bowl of meat in her other hand. Once she was up on the bus with him, Rosalyn expected him to let go of her hand and ignored her more. But instead, he kept hold it as he stared down at her.

They were standing close enough to him that their body would be touching. Rosalyn cleared her throat and slowly pulled her hand from Daryl's grasp as she took a step back, putting some distance between them. She thought that she saw a look of hurt flash across his face, but it was gone before she could ask herself.

"Here," Rosalyn muttered as she held the bowl out to him. She looked down while brushing stards of her hair behind her ear shyly

Daryl took it with a nod, his fingers grazing slightly across hers. "Thanks."

"You're welcome" She mumbled silently, placing her hand behind her while swinging herself back and forwards nervously. Daryl stared at her before he turned back to look out at the open space on the other side of the fence where walkers was gathering having been drawn by sound of their gunshots.

"Where'd you find 'em?" he asked as Rosalyn snapped out from her own thought and turned to him

Rosalyn smiled slightly "I didn't find them. They was the one who found me, I was staying at the house where we searched for Sophia, do you remember?" She saw Daryl look at her in confuse as she smiled. "Well, it was the closest and the safest place I can think off that moment."

Daryl nodded slowly "So you were alone before they found you?"

"Yeah... well, not completely alone though" She smiled slightly at her attempt of jokes

He rolled his eyes. "I don't think you can count walkers as a company"

"You are right, they were not a very good company" she let out a small forced laugh

Daryl scoffed as he knelt to set down his bowl on the bus before straightening back up to turn towards her. "Enough with the fucking jokes already" he snapped with a glare. "Why?"

"Why what, Daryl?" She asked, pretending to not know what he was talking about, she couldn't bring herself to look at him now that things had turned into a more serious situation. So she continued to stare at anything that wasn't Daryl "I don't know what are you talking about"

"You fuckin' know what am I talkin' 'bout!" he snapped as he took a threatening step forwards

"Look at me and asnwer the damn question" he growled as he stood a few feet away from her "Why did you fuckin' lie about meeting at the highway?"

Rosalyn paused as she looked up to stared at him "I didn't lie about it" she whispered

"Then, what?" he ask angrily and he just got angrier when she didn't answer "It was all just a fuckin' lie!"

"It's not!" Rosalyn raised her voice slightly with tears brimming on her eyes "I did make it to the highway,"

She see Daryl looked down at her, waiting for her to continue.

"It took me three days to get there, but you were already gone. I found the signs that you'd been leaving, and I followed them, but they stopped." She paused as her sobbed slightly. "Why did you stop leaving a sign?" she asked, her voice breaking slightly.

Daryl didn't say anything as he reached up to a necklace hanging around his neck and pulled the rest of the necklace out of his shirt. Rosalyn blinked confusedly at his action before she paused when she realized that the necklace around his neck was her necklace, she reached out to take tags and key that was dangling on the necklace, so that she could get a closer look at were partly stained with blood, but she could still see what was engraved there; at the front: Rosalyn Miller and at the back: 'Thank you for being beside me'.

"My... necklace?" she asked

"Yeah," He nodded, staring down at the bloodstained metal in her hands "You were always wearing that"

Rosalyn blinked, surprised that he had noticed that "Right," she muttered as she nodded with a smile "I lost them when walkers was chasing me. Where did you find them?"

"Rick and I found 'em on a dead woman," he explained slowly. "The face was all smashed, so we couldn't see who, but she had your hair..."

"Goodness" she muttered

"At first, I didn't wanna believe it was you, but even after a few months later, we didn't found you." He paused. "I thought about goin' off to look for you on my own. But then, I know you won't be pleased by it"

"You are right... I won't" She smiled softly before she threw herself at him and hugged him "I'm so sorry"

He paused in surprise before he patted her head "Ain't got nothin' to apologize for," Daryl muttered

She slowly looked up to him and she saw that he was scowling like he had been before, but there wasn't any real anger in it now, it was more like a relieved scowl.

"But if you do that again, I'm gonna hunt you down" Daryl warned

"Alright" she laughed lightly as she pulled herself back from him, but still close enough with him.

He continued to stared at her face, seeming to be taking in every aspect of her face like he was afraid that he's not going to see her anymore. "It's okay, I'm not going anywhere... not anymore" she said as she took his hand and gripped onto it as he do the same "I really missed you" she muttered.

Daryl stared at her for a moment before he lowered his face towards hers and slowly pressed his lips onto hers. Rosalyn's heart almost leapt out of her chest and she closed her eyes to focus on the feeling. Then after he pulled away, he pulled her into a tight hug before he pressed a kiss on top of her head and rested his chin on top of it

Back with the group, the group was staring at the two figures who's hugging on the bus along with Nicole and Christopher, but Nathaniel wasn't impressed by this. He was staring over at the man who was hugging his sister, pressing a kiss on her freaking lips and head.

Christopher threw a small rock at him, making him to look away from the two and glared at him. "Dude, don't be so jealous" he teased "Just chill"

"Shut up" he frowned "What sort of relationship do those two have?" he asked instead.

"We're actually not sure," Lori smiled

"They didn't tell us anything about their relationship and about whatever's going on between them. But they seemed pretty serious." Maggie added with a grin

"Really serious" Carol corrected her

"Right" They grinned at each other

They quickly fell silent again as Rosalyn and Daryl walked towards them. Rosalyn sit back down into her spot beside her older brother, and Daryl settled in next to her, making everyone exchanged knowing looks while Nathaniel glared pointedly at Daryl, who returned with a rise of an eyebrow. Daryl decided to annoy the living out of him and shifted closer until he was practically pressed against her side before sending a small cocky smirk at her brother

The other looked at them with amused face as they watched them sending a glare at each other. Christopher chuckled slightly at Daryl, it seemed that his sister had managed to find someone who was just as interesting as she is.

"Bethy, sing Paddy Reilly for me," Hershel asked suddenly, obviously trying to stop Daryl and Nathaniel from glaring at each other "I haven't heard that, I think, since your mother was alive."

"Daddy, not that one, please," Maggie begged.

Hershel paused and think for a moment. "How about uh... Parting Glass?" he requested.

"No one wants to hear," Beth argued, obviously shy about singing in front of so many people.

"Why not?" Glenn asked

Ok..." She said quietly said before sitting a little bit straighter

"Of all the money

That e'er I've had

I spent it in good company…"

Then suddenly Rosalyn joined, her voice easily harmonizing with Beth making all eyes averted to her with a surprise look

"And all the harm

That e're I've ever done

Alas, it was to none but me.

And all I've done

For want of wit

To memory now, I can't recall

So fill to me the parting glass

Goodnight and joy be with you all."

There was a pause as Beth and Rosalyn glanced over to Maggie and, when they started up again, Maggie mixed her voice in with theirs.

"Oh, all the comrades

That e'er I had

Were sorry for my going away

And all the sweethearts

That e'er I had

Would wish me one more day to stay

But since it falls unto my lot

That I should rise and you should not

I'll gently rise and I'll softly call

Goodnight and joy be with you all

Goodnight and joy be with you all."

Everyone was silent for a moment, Rick had joined them when they busy hearing them sing, kneeling between his wife and his son

"Beautiful," Hershel said with a kind smile while Glenn patted Maggie's tight with a smile

Rick looking around at everyone "Better all turn in. I'll take watch over there," he said, nodding to the inside of the prison "We got a big day tomorrow."

"What do you mean?" Glenn asked.

He hesitated before glancing at his son and looked up to everyone. "Look, I know we're all exhausted. This was a great win. But we've gotta push just a little bit more." He looked up to the fence where the walkers from the courtyard were gathered. "Most of the walkers are dressed as guards and prisoners. It looks like this place fell pretty early. It could mean supply maybe in tack. They've infirmary, commissary"

"An armory?" Daryl asked.

"That'll be outside the prison itself, not too far away. The warden's office should've the location. Weapon, food, medicine, this place could be a gold mine" He said while pointing at the prison eagerly. "Now you mention it. My medical things is running low" Rosalyn nodded

"But we dangerously low on ammo, we'll run out before we even make a dent" Hershel said while shaking his head "Even with what Rosalyn and her family brought,"

"That's why we have to go in there... hand-to-hand." Rick said, bu the group still looked hesitant at his word "After all we've been through, we can handle it," Rick said in an attempt to raise morale. "I know it." He looked down at his son with a small smile. "These assholes don't stand a chance."

When nobody made to argue against it and stayed silent, Rick nodded and stood up to return to the gate that he. Lori slowly scrambled onto her feet and waddled after him and Rosalyn had noticed that there seemed to be some tension between Rick and Lori. She wasn't sure what it was, but something must've happened after she left to cause it, something that Rick couldn't seem to be able to get over or maybe Lori must've told him about her affair with Shane.

Rosalyn could just shook her head and lay her head to Daryl's shoulder, ignoring when he tensed for a moment.
