Chapter 11:

Hounded

Rosalyn slowly opened her eyes, shaking the need to sleep more. She sat up on the bunk and rubbed her sleepy eyes before got off of the bed to stretch her body. She hadn't sleep that much last night, yesterday's event still lingering in her mind, thinking about everything that had happened. She tried to shook the thoughts off her mind, but her mind kept wandering back to Lori and T-Dog, she really missed them. She just can't seem to soak the fact that they were gone just like that.

She quickly got out of her thought and started to bend her body when she felt a sudden pressence on her door frame

"Good morning Daryl" she greeted without bothering to look up. For some reason she know he was the one who stood there.

Straightening her posture, she looked up towards Daryl who had his usual scowl on his face.

He nodded in respond "How are you feelin'?" He muttered

"I feel better" She smiled, stopping to let out a soft yawn "Thank you for asking"

"Did you even sleep last night?" he asked, scowling down at her.

"Yes I did" Rosalyn frowned at him and huffed "In fact I slept very nicely, thank you very much" she added as he scoffed at her

He smirked lightly at her cute respond and shook his head "Yeah right" He turned towards the door, motioning with his head for her to follow him. "C'mon, breakfast is ready."

She frowned. "Already? Did I overslept again?"

"It's alright, you shoud rest more" he grumbled before he jerked his head again as he walked out of the cell. "C'mon."

They walked out into the dining area or what ever it was, where the others were gathered. She notice that Axel and Rick was the only one who wasn't there, but she shook the thoguht out. She saw the group were sitting at the tables and Oscar was standing next to the stairs leading to the outside, eating what looked like bowls of oatmeal or something like that.

Everyone all looked up as the two of them stepped into the area.

"Mornin' sleepy head" Glenn greeted with a chuckle

"Good morning, Glenn" she let out a light laugh

"Did you get any sleep last night?" Maggie asked, although she already knew the answer.

Rosalyn nodded in respond "I did" she smiled "But why didn't anyone come and wake me up sooner?"

"Well, you looked to tired so we decided to let you sleep for a while longer." Christopher explained "You needed it."

"I know you'd say that" Rosalyn laughed lightly as everyone looked at her apologetically "But thank you anyway" She nodded as she and Daryl walked over to get a bowl of the food before they sat with Oscar on the stairs, since the table was alread filled.

"Where's Axel and Rick?" she wondered.

"Axel's trying to fix the generators," Daryl answered.

"And Rick's still out wandering the tombs, I guess," Glenn added.

"Did he even came back last night?"she frowned

"He never came back last night."

"I see" she nodded.

She already guessed that he had gone on a walker killing spree, much like Daryl when he thought that Rosalyn was dead. They decided to left him to do whatever he wanted for the night. Rosalyn was hoping him to have recovered by now, but apparently that wasn't happening.

"Let's give him some time alone," Rosalyn muttered. "But if he still didn't come back, we'll look for him."

Everyone nodded in agreement as Rosalyn shifted her attention towards the baby

"What about the baby?" she asked

"She is alright" Maggie answered "But we're going to need more formula soon,"

Rosalyn frowned slightly before turning towards Glenn "How about we go for a run later today, I found a phone book with some places we can go, see if we can find something?" she suggested earing a disagreeing looks from Daryl and her little brother "We won't go too far from here"

Daryl shot a look at Glenn silently telling him to refuse her suggestion, but being clueless as always Glenn nodded in respond with a grin "Sure" he replied which earning a heavy sigh from Daryl. "I'll go too" Maggie spoke up

"Sure, why not" Rosalyn nodded

They fell into silence, each of them finishing off their breakfast. Rosalyn looked over to Carl who just stared at his food, not even touching it, while she moved hers around with the spoon. The thought of eating doesn't seems to fit with her right now.

"Everybody okay?"

Rosalyn looked over at the familiar voice to find Rick standing in the doorway, looking like he had a fresh shower. She thought that she'd see him be covered in walker blood, but the only thing that Rosalyn could see left on his face was stress, guilt and every mix of emotion that was almost hidden behind his poker face.

"Yeah, we are" Maggie answered

Rick walked into the sitting area to join everyone who just stopped eating and watched him as he approach them.

"What about you?" Hershel asked.

He didn't answer. Instead, averted his eyes from Hershel "I cleared out the boiler block."

"How many were there?" Daryl asked

"I dunno... A dozen, two dozen…" He paused, glancing around the area before looking down at his son "I have to get back. Just wanted to check on Carl." He patted his son on the back lightly before he turned around for the door again.

Glenn stood up. "Rick," he called after him, "We can handle taking out the bodies. Okay? You don't have to."

"No, I do," he argued and walked over to Daryl. "Everyone have a gun and a knife?"

"Yeah. We're runnin' low on ammo though," Daryl informed him.

"Maggie, Rosalyn and me were planning on making a run this afternoon," Glenn said. "Rosalyn found a phone book with some places we can hit, look for bullets and formula."

"We cleared out the generator room," Daryl went on, and Rosalyn raised an eyebrow, surprised at how long she had slept that Daryl and the other had cleared out the generator room "Axel's there tryin' to fix it in case of emergency. We're gonna sweep the lower levels as well."

Rick nodded. "Good. Good…" And then he walked hurriedly out of the sitting area, back to the door that he had just come through.

"Rick!" Hershel called, but all he got in return was the sound of the gate slamming. He just closed the barred door and disappeared down the corridor.

Rosalyn placed her bag at the back of the car, Glenn and Maggie were still inside, probably still talking with Hershel. They were about to head off to one of the stores to look for supplies. As she closed the back door, she turned around to see Daryl walking towards her obviously not happy.

"You ain't goin'." he demanded, eyes staring into her seriously

She sighed at him and folded her hands while leaning back to the car "Daryl, we're not having this conversation" she huffed

"We are, right now" He almost growled angrily as he grabbed her arms and trying to pull her while making sure he didn't hurt her "It ain't feel right"

"Daryl..." Rosalyn eyes soften at his respond and placed a hand on his face "I'll be alright, I can take care of myself"

"You ain't invicible" he pointed out

"I never say that I am" she replied as she tip toed to give his lips a quick peck "I'm going, okay?"

With a heavy sigh he finally nodded, he leaned forwards and pressed his lips against her before parting away "You'll come back, alright?"

"I will" she smiled while giving him a hug

"Alright love birds, time to part away!" Maggie said, walking out of the cell while grinning at both of them when they quickly pulled away from each other "Ready to go, Rosalyn?"

"Of course" Rosalyn replied

"Don't worry we'll take care of her" Glenn patted Daryl's shoulder as he replied him with a grateful nod.

"Just remember," Daryl said "If she got hurt, you life might be on the line"

Glenn swallowed hard before nodding at him

After giving her final goodbye to Daryl, they finally drove out of the prison.

Daryl, Oscar and Carl are searching the lower levels of the prison, they made their way through the tombs, clearing any walkers and bodies. Daryl was actually using this time to distract himself, he never liked the idea of Rosalyn going out on a run without him, even though he was sure Maggie and Glenn could take care of her.

"Check it out, man." Oscar's light was pointing at a door that was blocked off by a body. The door opened and closed as much a bit as the body let it. "Must have missed it last night.

"It's probably just one or two of them" he stepped closer to the door, pushing it close slightly to see if it will rile the walker up "Don't look they got muchfight. They ain't going no where. We'll take care of them on the way back."

Deryl looked over to Carl to se the boy hung his head low, obviously still sad at the fact that his mother died and his father was wondering around the prison for only god know where. It has a big effect for a boy his age, he's just a small kid but he's already lost his mother and he'll have to take care of his little sister on the way.

He whistled at him, getting his attention. "Come on." Daryl gestured to follow. As they started walking, Daryl started to tell him a story "You know, my mom, she liked her wine. She liked to smoke in bed. Virginia Slims." he told him, leaning ove to look into a room to see it there where walkers inside before continuing, "I was playing out with the kids in the neighbourhood. I could do that with Merle gone"

Daryl paused "They had bikes. I didn't. We heard sirens getting louder. They jumped on their bikes, ran after it, you know," he moved closer to another door, "hoping to see something worth seein'." the door creaked a little, bu twhen he was sure it was empty, he kept going. "I ran after them, but I couldn't keep up. I ran around a corner and saw my friends looking at me. Hell, I saw everybody looking at me. Fire trucks everywhere. People from the neighbourhood."

He looked down at Carl "It was my house they were there for. And that was my mom in bed, burnt down to nothin'." they kept walking. "That was the hard part. You know, she was just gone. Erased. Nothing left of her. People said it was better that way." he chuckled. "I don't know. Just made it seem like it wasn't real, you know?"

Carlsighed and Daryl looked back over at him. "I shot my mom. She was out. Hadn't turned yet." he paused before adding, "I ended it. It was real." he paused for a second and looked down while mumbling "Sorry about your mom."

"I'm sorry about yours." Daryl looked over to the kid and nodded "Come on."

Glenn, Maggie and Rosalyn have made their way to town, stopping the car in front of a store. They hadn't seen any walkers so far in the area, so they decided to take a closer look on the store. Both of the girls got off and looked around to double check for any walkers while Glenn went to the back seat to take the bag.

"Clear outside." Maggie informed as they walked back to the front door

"Alright, let's take a look." Glenn nodded, moving to the door.

Maggie walked over to him, placing a hand on his arm. "Hey." he turned to look at her before she leaned forward and gave him a quick kiss. Rosalyn had to turn away and shakes her head in amusement as Glen reached out to give her a kiss, not satisfied enough with her little peck

"Really guys?" she interrupted them as Glenn grinned sheepishly

"You and Daryl always do that, and we never complaint" Maggie teased

"For the record, me and Daryl haven't even kissed in front of anyone" Rosalyn said in defense "Or if I remember correctly, we haven't"

"Oh? So you kissed secretly?" Maggie smirked earning a huff of embarassment from Rosalyn

Rosalyn averted her eyes to the sky "It's a beautiful day."she changed the subject as Maggie and Glenn grinned in respond. He finally moved to the door and cut the chain so he could get into the store. As the chain fell to the ground, Glenn opened the door, only to be greeted by a bunch of flying birs which startled him and Maggie to the end. Rosalyn almost laughed at their faces "You guys got scared by those?" she laughed lightly as Maggie turned around in embarassment while Glenn continued his way inside.

"Glenn, get that duck." Maggie told him from where sheand Rosalyn stood outside by the door.

"What?"

"Get that duck." she repeated.

He chuckled. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah. A kid growing up in a prison could use some toys."

After searching down the store, Glenn finally came out. "We just hit the powered formula jackpot."

"Oh, thank God." Maggie sighed as both of them moved to stand with Glenn.

He showed everything he had in his basket "I also got beans, batteries, cocktail wieners, many mustard. It's a straight shot back to the prison from here. Probably make it in time for dinner." Glenn took the stuff to the car.

"I like the quiet. Back there, back home, you can always hear them outside the fence no matter where you are." Maggie grabbed the baby formula basket, moving to the car to stand by Glenn.

"And where is it y'all good people are calling home?"

Rosalyn, Glenn and Maggie whipped their head over to the sound with their gun raised.

"Merle?" Glenn and Rosalyn asked in surprise

Merle laughed. "Wow!" he put he gun down, moving towards them with his hand raised in the air.

"Hey, back the hell up!" Maggie yelled appearently never got to know Merle.

Merle chuckled "Ho, ho, okay, honey. Jesus."

"You made it." Glenn said almost in disbelieve

"Can you tell me, is my brother alive?" he asked "Huh?"

"He's alive" Rosalyn said reassuringly

"Hey, you take me to him, and I'll call it even on everything that happened up there in Atlanta. No hard feelings. Huh?" he asked, but when nobody answeres him, he looked at his arm, or what's left on it, there was a knife like metal that replaced his hand. He laughed. "You like that? Yeah. Well, uh, I found myself a medical supply warehouse. Fixed it up myself. Pretty cool, huh?"

Glenn sighed. "We'll tell Daryl you're here, and he'll come out to meet you."

"Oh, oh, oh, hold on. Just hold up." Merle take a step forward towards them

"Whoa. Whoa." Glenn exclaimed in warning as Merle stopped and looked at them

"Hold up here. Hold up. Hey, the fact that we found each other is a miracle. Come on, now. You can trust me."

Rosalyn finally stepped in "You trust us. You stay here." she pointed out as Merle tried to smile. There was a long silence and Rosalyn could feel the tension of the situation and she know what would happen soon. Suddenly Merle reached behind him, pulling out a gun. "No!" he shot towards the back's window.

Maggie grabbed Rosalyn as they ducked around the car, Glenn going the other way. Rosalyn saw Merle coming towards Maggie, so she pulled her back and replaced her being pulled towards Merle, the gun pressed to her head. "Easy girl, easy there." he cooed

Glenn came around the corner, gun ready. But he froze, just like Maggie.

"Hey, hey, hold up, buddy, hold up." Merle told them, pressing the gun closer to her head

Glenn and Maggie exchanged worried looks while Rosalyn frowned at the fact that she got captured again "Let go of her, Merle." Glenn warned. "Let go of her!"

"Put your guns in the car right now. Put them in the car, kids." Merle instructed as Maggie and Glenn hesitantly placed the gun into the car "There you go. Now we're gonna go for a little drive."

"We're not going back to our camp." Glenn said sternly

"No, we're going somewhere else." Merle explained "Get in the car! Glenn, you're driving! Move!" he pressed the gun against Rosalyn's haed harder

"Don't." Glenn almost pleaded as Merle glared at him, with that Glenn sighed. "Okay." he moved to the driver's side while slamming te door close angrily.

"Get in! In the front! That's it!" he yelled at Maggie, pulling Rosalyn up so they could walk into the car and when they all got into the car, Glenn drove off to where ever Merle was instructed him to. They could only hope, the other notice this and went to look for them
