I'm back!
Oh my God, I swear I didn't forget about this story. I was buying the episodes on amazon and pretty much ran out of money. But I'm back and now I have access to all of the episodes. I hope I didn't lose to many of you and I hope you enjoy the new chapter!
"Will you two stop it?!"
Merle and my brother laughed at another joke at Daryl's and mine expense.
Daryl laughed, wrapping an arm around my waist as we walked.
"Let em have their fun."
I stuck my tongue out at him before moving away looking for something to eat.
"I miss the group."
Matt looked down at me.
"It'll be ok sis."
"Whatever."
He laughed as the Dixon brothers were having some sort of conversation. About to say something we heard screaming.
"What was that?"
"Sounds like some forest animals getting freaky."
Throwing a stick at Merle before glancing at Daryl as we heard the scream again.
"Let's go."
Running towards the screaming as the boys followed me to a bridge crawling with walkers attacking a family that was screaming in spanish.
"Well, we needed some fun."
Walking towards the group of walkers surrounding a station wagon with a woman and a baby in the front seat. Taking aim I started shooting walkers with my crossbow, easily taking several out before running out of arrows, running over I grabbed the arrows sticking out of the walkers I just killed. As I was pulling back the string to shoot again a walker tried to tackle me, kicking its legs out from under him I shot him in the face before pulling my arrow out and looking around to realize we had killed the walkers.
"Well little sister, you've gotten a lot better."
"Shut up Matt."
He laughed hugging me to his side as we smiled at each other. Looking over we noticed Daryl had his crossbow aimed at Merle who had been digging through the stain wagon.
"What did we miss?"
"I have no idea."
Deciding to keep back we watched as Daryl forced Merle to walk away from the vehicle and across the bridge before we decided to follow after them.
"So much for keeping him calm."
"No kidding."
Keeping a good distance away from the Dixon brothers, knowing they needed to have it out with each other, sure enough, as soon as we entered the woods Merle let into Daryl.
"The shit you doing, pointing that thing at me?"
Daryl mumbled his answer, obviously his mind somewhere else.
"They were scared, man."
"They were rude is what they were. Rude and they owed us a token of gratitude."
"Damn it Merle, they didn't owe us anything."
My friend rounded on me, anger clear on his face.
"I wasn't talkin to you Cobra."
Daryl turned and caught Merle in a harsh glare.
"Don't talk to her like that."
Merle scoffed.
"You helping people out of the goodness of your heart? Even though you might die doing it? Is that something your Sheriff Rick taught you?"
I winced as Daryl yelled, Matt watching the brothers in curiosity.
"There was a baby!"
"Oh, otherwise you would have just left them to the biters, then?"
I glanced at Matt.
"Sounds like one of our fights."
"Let em go."
We shook our heads at the brothers, waiting for their little spat to be over with.
"Man, I went back for you. You weren't there."
Matt gave me a curious look and I nodded.
"I didn't cut off your hand, neither. You did that. Way before they locked you up on that roof. You asked for it."
We watched Merle pace for a moment before chuckling.
"You know-you know what's funny to me? You and Sheriff Rick are like this now. Right? I bet you a penny and a fiddle of gold that you never told him that we were planning on robbing that camp blind."
The tension between the brothers was so thick you could almost see it, sighing I was debating on if I should separate them or not.
"It didn't happen."
"Yeah, it didn't 'cause I wasn't there to help you and you got distracted by a piece of ass."
I glared at Merle, Matt holding me back with ease as Daryl's eyes flashed with hatred.
"I said leave her out of this."
I smiled at Daryl's whispered reply before he seemed to focus back on the argument.
"What, like when we were kids, huh? Who left who then?"
"What? Huh? Is that why I lost my hand?"
"You lost your hand 'cause you're a simpleminded piece of shit."
Matt and I both sighed, both of us knowing Daryl had gone to far and Merle was going to do something stupid. Sure enough, Daryl turned and Merle shoved him down ribbing his shirt down the back, revealing the scars I had seen, flinching I knew we would be leaving Merle as regret washed over him.
"I-I didn't know he was."
"Yeah, he did. He did the same to you. That's why you left first."
"I had to, man. I would have killed him otherwise."
Following after Daryl, smiling when Matt walked with me. Walking past Daryl we headed towards the compound, happy when he joined us. Walking in silence, until gunshots rang out.
"What the hell?"
"Governor."
Taking off at a run we worked on following the noise back to the compound, finally we found it as walkers stormed around the prison, watching Daryl save Rick before we rushed in, killing any walker we got close enough to. By the time it was over we were all trying to catch our breath.
"Well, that was fun."
Again I am so sorry for not updating for so long.
I hope everyone enjoyed and who ever is left I hope you review!
