Hayley struggled to get out of the men's grip, groaning in frustration as she tried and tried to get out of his grip. she blamed herself for being skin as bones right now. finally, after a bit of some struggle she finally could elbow the guy in the gut. Ass she thought before heading towards the governors office.
She made sure to be careful when going inside and not be seen, but then again shit was going on outside so she's probably good for a little while until things calm down. grinning, she picked up her backpack and her crossbow, thank god for grandpa and his camping trips she thought to herself before hearing a rattling sound, she knew where it was coming from of course.
slowly, she walked over to the secret room of the governor and opened the door of the safe. swallowing hard as she waited to see the little girl to come out. once the girl, well correction, walker came out of the safe, She took off the cloth from her head and jumped slightly when she tried to bit her finger off.
God why did this happen to you she thought sadly.
Why couldn't the governor just put you out of the little girl's misery? instead he kept her as if she was some kind of pet! he wanted the girl to be brought back to life, Which was impossible, gulping she took a deep breath before she took her blade and aimed it at her head "sorry penny" she softly mumbled and was about to put an end to the girl that was needed to be put down ages ago until she heard a heard someone walk in.
She got up and turned to see the governor himself, his face extremely peed off no doubt about it but looked calm which always wasn't good when dealing with the governor. Governor" she said softly while he returned a nod in return "I see you're back" he said while hayley stood behind the walker girl, holding onto her shoulders and just watched the governor. the governor eyeing her every move "no need to do stupid mistakes" "like what? Like sending someone off to kill your own blood?" She asked and held on top of penny's head, all it took was one plunge into the head.
The governor slowly put away his gun that he was holding back into its holster "easy now...lets talk things out.." he said softly, to late for that hayley thought and plunged the knife into the weak skull. This caused the governor to both scream and jump at her and try to aim the gun at her head, luckily when he pulled the trigger he shot the tank full of heads. Causing the water spill out along with some heads to come out but that didn't mean the governor backed down, he was trying his best to end her life by chocking her,
Quickly thinking, she reached her hand out to grab a piece of glass and stabbed it in his eyes, earning a painful scream from him. Quickly getting up, she made her way outside but was caught yet again, this time by martinez
why me?
"you're not going anywhere" he hissed and dragged her. She noticed that basically everyone at the prison was gone from her quick scanning of the area, until she saw daryl. might as well try getting his attention she thought before taking a deep breath "Daryl!"
Soon enough, they were sprinting through the foggy streets, the loud blasting of bullets whizzing past echoing around the night. Daryl attempted to push away the fact that his brother was undoubtedly nearby, though he remained unseen to him. He nearly tripped over his over sized pant leg as a gunman suddenly appeared out of the mist, barrel of a pistol pointed solidly at his forehead.
Daryl carefully aimed the sights of his crossbow before letting a bolt loose, the arrow-like rod tearing through the air and meeting its target. The unfortunate man's chest. He yanked the pointed tip from his skin, ignoring his pleas and cries for help, wailing in pain. His head suddenly whipped around, frantically searching for Hayley, but she was nowhere to be found.
Damn it, where did she run off to this time? He asked himself incredulously, raking a hand through his hair. If he lost her, their newest recruit, Rick's trust in him would undoubtedly decrease. Daryl whipped around as he heard Hayley's voice ring out from somewhere within the heavy mists that cloaked Woodbury's streets.
He hastily loaded another bolt into his crossbow, wincing as the ear shattering racket of a gunshot echoed through the air nearby. "Hayley!" He hollered frantically, desperate gaze scanning the area in a frenzied attempt to catch sight of her small frame. Crap, he mentally swore, shoveling one large hand through his mussed and dirt slathered hair as he jogged forward.
"Hayley!" He called out again, straining to hear even the slightest indication that she was nearby. The stubborn hick propelled himself towards the sound of a frightened scream, one that was undoubtedly her. An unexpected knot of anger nestled itself within his stomach, rolling and curdling his insides at the thought of her becoming injured. "The hell are you?!" He screamed, cursing as a bullet grazed the muscle of his upper arm. Pain lanced down to his elbow as the skin ripped, and he let out an agonized groan, but pressed onward.
A foreboding thought of Merle suddenly passed through the drowsy fabric of his mind, he persistently shoved his doubts away to where they couldn't bother him. Daryl nearly collapsed in relief as he caught sight of a petite form struggling against what looked like a man's hold, and he hurled himself towards them faster than he could think. "Put 'er down," he ordered firmly, carefully aiming his crossbow at Martinez's skull, poised and ready to shoot if it came to that.
"I see you got yourself a friend hay's" Martinez chuckled "just let me go, you don't get shot with an arrow, I don't feed your balls to a walker and we're good. now put me down!" she yelled, close to blowing up really "now, now, what would dear daddy say if he saw you like this?" "wouldn't give a damn really" she muttered with an eyeroll.
Daryl watched in anger as Martinez swung her over his broad shoulder, feeling irritation writhe at his chest, flushing his cheeks a deep, ugly red. "I reckon you should put her down, you taco eatin' pansy, before I make you," he threatened smoothly, blinking away the lukewarm liquid that sprung in the back of his eyes at the heavy fog that stung and poked at his vision. "now, either we do this the easy way with your friend going off or he's coming with us" "or how about I bash your face, that sounds more like fun!" she fake smiled up the Hispanic before being pulled along with him. her eyes widening as she saw a guy behind daryl "daryl!"
He flung himself around as he heard Hayley's frantic warning, feeling another presence approaching from behind him, and walloped the front of his crossbow into his attackers forehead, knocking them out cold. "Now, as I was sayin'. Hand her over before things get ugly," he repeated rigidly, lining the sights of his crossbow at Martinez's head, prepared to slaughter him where he stood.
He rolled his shoulders as he felt the familiar warmth of blood trickling down his arm, seeping from the gouge of his flesh that had been sliced open. "I won't say it again!" He snarled hoarsely, biting down forcefully at the side of his cheek. "And I don't plan on goin' anywhere with you, or lettin' 'er get hauled off by your sorry ass," he muttered gratingly, throwing worried glances at Hayley every few seconds.
"just do what he says I mean, its a win win you know. you live, I live, we all live hehe...I feel like getting a cup of coffee now. lets go get some" hayley chuckled nervously and nodded her head "since when did your life depend on another person? where's tough Hayley? the daughter of a tough guy huh?" she just rolled her eyes at his comment. she groaned and looked up at Martinez "I sleep with you if you just let me go"
Daryl stiffened as she told Martinez that she was willing to sleep with him, his grip unintentionally tightening on his crossbow. "You really do have half a brain, don't you?" He jeered at him as Martinez chuckled and shook his head "sorry, not after you turned me down last time, I moved on now what do you think we should do with you?" "allow me to cut your off?" "cute" he muttered.
daryl raised a brow as he set her down onto the pavement. The hell is he doin'? He thought dubiously, nearly choking as he felt a figure roughly push past him, knocking him in the shoulder as he did so. The Governor, he realized darkly, jaw firmly setting itself. the governor looked rather inconspicuous, far more authoritative and had a bandage around his right eye
"now I think you should introduce me to your new friend Hayley" "fuck off" "now now, that's not the right way to treat someone who took care of you" "go die in hell ok? when's the last time you ever thought about family huh? last time I remember, when penny got bit you lost it. heck you said not to kill her" she said but didn't stop "what would penny say if she saw you right now?" "she would be scared" "cant blame her really, cause I don't remember sweet daddy being nice anymore" she said, chuckling and nodding her head.
The enraged man watched as the argument between him and Hayley unfolded, feeling shock thunder through his veins as she called him her father. He bit his tongue, indiscreetly forcing back his troubled inquiries about the subject, and instead focused back on the anger that was twisting at his insides. "that's right, you don't remember me calling you that in the long time huh dad? father? daddykins?" hayely mumbled.
Daryl screamed a warning at The Governor as he pointed the barrel of his pistol at the side of her head, feeling his vision darken at the blood curdling anger that shuddered through his system at the thought of her coming to any harm. He sturdily launched himself forward, coiled fist meeting Hayley's dad's cheek in a rough, skin splitting blow.
They both fell to the ground, Daryl's mountainous figure looming over him as his fingers grabbed a fistful of his shirt and yanked him forward, so that their noses were hardly an inch apart. "Don't even think about layin' a finger on 'er, or you'll be dead before you got the chance to blink, you sick bastar.d!"
Daryl could hardly hear Hayley murmur his name through the enraged fog that was clouding his mind, causing the world around him to become an indistinct, muffled blur of movement and unclear objects. the governor just smirked and chuckled lowly "not bad for a Dixon" he said and glanced over at Hayley "you didn't tell me you had a boyfriend, should have allowed me to meet him first" he said as Martinez grabbed Hayley
"I don't have to introduce no one to nobody," he spat, the deep brogue of his voice turning low and gritty. "And I ain't her boyfriend," he corrected tartly, feeling the odd sensation of his stomach flipping at the suggestion. He was doing this just so Rick wouldn't beat his face in and leave him to the walkers, right?
Or was it for a deeper, more personal reason? A reason that, no matter how hard he tried to think through it, couldn't place. She intrigued him, that was for certain, but he never would of thought that he'd have the unwilling need to protect her when she was threatened.
"but how about you leave me to talk with him" Before he had the chance to object or defend himself, he felt the pain of a well aimed punch jerk into his stomach, causing his blue eyes to narrow and his sight to become obscured by red. "Damn, you gotta good arm," he commented, letting out a low wail of anger as he felt the backside of a hard, sturdy object slam against his skull.
His knees buckled in on themselves and he clumsily toppled onto the street, rocks and shards of glass digging uncomfortably into the skin on his arms and cheeks. His vision began to wink in and out of darkness, the words spoken between The Governor and Martinez becoming muddled echoes. He listened closely for the soothing sound of Hayley's voice, but heard nothing, and his mind languidly shut down and everything snapped to black.
(ta-dah! that's hayley's little secret! she's the daughter of the governor. yes a bit cheesy to pick that plot idea up but picking the idea of her actually being his mistress sounded to obvious in a way as well so picked that being his daughter would be more drama packed :) so hopefully you guys enjoyed this little chapter and can comment your thoughts down below :) also do dedicate this whole series for reddheart on polyvore for being the small inspiration for the story :).)
