dear lord what has Hayley gotten into? here she thought everything was going to be perfect fine and she would walk into the prison she found without trouble. rest there for a bit before patching herself up with some near by supplies she could find cause come on, the prison didn't look no more then a year old since the whole raid of walkers couldn't look that old right? plus they look 'fresh' turned if you know what I mean.
well instead of that Hayley ran into some redneck asshole who turns out to be related then none other merle Dixon, his name is daryl. god he could make her want to rip her hair at times well not always like merle but sometimes she would want to poke him in the eyes just to get him to stop acting like some macho guy and talk!
maybe it's a Dixon thing that the men don't talk, give glares and if they do talk then it's not a pleasant comment. well plus side is he is very different from what merle had explained about his little brother. he didn't appear like he was bitter nor was he grieving about his brother though he did seem shocked when he found out merle is alive and well.
but he seemed...like he was his own person.
as if he has an idea of who he is and looks like he gets along pretty well with the group he's in. she did wonder why didn't daryl leave her out there. out with the walkers and let her either collapse with blood loss or get bitten, that thought was something she didn't understand not one bit and as much as she wanted to ask the redneck himself, she knows she wont get nothing out of him. zip and zilch my friends.
After a few minutes of walking, the sheriff cop guy named rick spoke up "You sure you know where it is?" He asked no I am just leading you to a death trap she thought bitterly, seriously how many questions does this guy ask? it was annoying her already and yet they didn't reach the town yet but then again, on one side she sort of can't blame the nonstop questioning.
he seems to be the group leader so of course he is going to worry about the two people the governor is keeping them and god knows what they had done to him? Glancing over her shoulder, Hayley nods her head slightly "yes any more talking? Or can we walk in peace without letting others know we're coming?" She asked before looking straight ahead, eyeing a biter as she sighed.
And here she thought a biter free walk, fat chance like always.
Going around, she went and sneaked up behind the biter, driving her dagger into the biter's skull, not moving until after the animated corpse toppled to the ground. there that should show the two men that she knows how to defend herself or was that the real reason for killing the walker? honestly she could have just let it be cause they could have walked by it and let it stalker off somewhere else.
"How far away is this place?" hearing Daryl's gruff words breaking the shallow silence that she somehow enjoyed truth be told, she didn't like talking when going on runs. she had her eyes closed as they were walking to the town woodbury her home, well more like old home that is. letting the hot, Atlanta sun hit her pale face.
it wasn't that she wasn't hardly eating anything, just how she was. she can hardly get a perfect tan. opening her eyes, She glanced back at the redneck before shrugging a shoulder "well lets see, merle took me out around probably eleven, saw him take your people thirty minutes after and came here probably an hour or so. So to answer your question, walking...pretty far. by car, not so far" she said, rolling her sleeves up as much as possible, she was in need of new clothes but she'll live.
Its not like a walker would care about what clothes she's wearing when they will eat her or they are color blind. Are they? I mean they are dead but are human so maybe they are? She never thought about it until now but some decent hygiene is important but then again, when has hygiene become important when everything went downhill in the world?
She continued to walk to the town, letting the silence and the chirping of birds make noise instead of anymore talking. She honestly wished she could have jacked a car from the town but no, she didn't cause she wasn't prepared for a merle killing. plus merle didn't take a car when merle said they're going out on a 'run' so if they did, merle would have taken the car himself to the ride home but another thought came to mind. what did that son of a gun tell the town with what had happened to her? did he make up some like that walkers ate her alive which made her snort softly to herself
of course he would. its MERLE we're talking about here he will do anything to keep his sorry ass alive with the governor. she looked over at daryl who stilled as a slight rustling could be heard behind him, flinging himself around on his heel and imbedding a bolt in the walker's skull before it had the measly chance to topple through the brush.
He jogged forward and yanked the pointed arrow from its leathery skin, grimacing as brain matter splattered onto the pavement. causing the dark haired girl to raise an eyebrow slightly at the scene. actually impressed by the redneck "coming along or are you going to stick around with your friend?" she asked and waited on daryl and in response, all she got was a grunt men she thought.
They walked for what felt like hours, the relentless Georgia sun beating down on their shoulders, adding unwanted weight to their strides but that long walking finally came to an end as The faint outline of Woodbury came into view to the side of the trees, and soon enough, they were crouched a pretty safe distance away from the two towering, rusted gates that closed off the protected town.
Hayley glanced up at the roofs and the wall, of course the wall is protected well. considering it was made out of only heavy tires, stacked in such a way to where they wouldn't fall. Gunman on top while in the roofs nothing. She tried to look for Martinez since he's the kisser up to the governor very well. Biting her bottom lip, she softly sighed and wanted to go out but rick stopped her
"just trust me" she whispered, waiting for the cop to let go of her wrist before walking up to the wall, knowing perfectly well that her plan on getting inside could backfire at any second. yes it would make the two men suspicious on why she's doing this but there's no way they could climb that wall. it was nearly impossible to do so! she tried it herself once to test out how sturdy it was and boy was it sturdy.
she held her hands up to let the gunmen know she's perfectly alive despite the fact her jeans are stained with the crimson color and walked up to the gates "aren't you guys needed?" The men looked at her, not answering her at all great, this is going exactly to plan she thought as she sighed
"don't make me say it again, you're needed. Governor said to leave the post. Martinez and the others will take watch" she continued. watching the men and giving them a look to get a move on it and just her luck. it worked thank sweet mama lord Jesus she thought, Taking a deep breath as she opened the gate and peaked her head in to see if anyone was there, which amazed her that it was deserted. Looking back at rick and daryl, she waved her hand frantically for them to come with her inside which they sprinted inside and followed behind them.
but something felt wrong...just uneven to the girl but what that was? she didn't know. she was looking around the town and sighing. It all didn't feel right that it was quiet. Far to quiet for the girl. usually at that time people were still walking about but nothing. not one living soul was out here, it could have been mistaken as a ghost town if it wasn't for the lighting that was on.
the small group slipped inside a building through the back, staying in the shadows as much as they could and so far so good. nothing bad had happened yet. "You sure you know where they are?" Rick asked, raising an eyebrow "yes, they're close by, near the governor's torture chair room so its not that far. But please don't go all call of duty on the town-"
she was cut off when a door was swung open along with a clang sound. Turning around and seeing a guy walk in but before he can say anything, rick hit the guy in the back of his head, knocking him out and pulled him all the way in the back of room "what part did you not get of not going all call of duty on them!?" She hissed "that" the cop replied, earning a eye roll from the girl. Unbelievable she thought, shaking her head. Why cant they go without killing each other?
Looks like merle has gotten a point in that the ex cop shows no mercy in a few things when it comes to the people he cares I.e. his group members.
(and im stopping things here : now I know this chapter isn't true to the episode which of course is episode 8 Made To Suffer also known as the mid season finale :) but I wanted this chapter to be a bit of its own with of course being in the episode so I don't want to see comments saying 'that's not how they got into the town' or something cause I know it isn't of course and I made it that reason for them enter a different way. its a fan fiction so its going to be different in some ways but not a lot of ways cause I am still sticking true to the series as much as I can but having my own twists in them ya know? so next chapter is when shiz is about to go down ;) so get ready for chapter five! also please comment with your thoughts on this chapter loves!)
