Scarlet woke up hearing voices but couldn't see anything. She was blind folded.
"No matter what happens, we are killing her." Someone said.
"If they give up thou, why need to? "Someone asked.
She wishes she could see who was with her and what was going on.
"SHit she is awake. Knock her out." The first voice said.
With that she felt a needle poke into her and she passed out within minutes.
Daryl awoke hours later to find himself alone with the dog. Coming to quicker now, he stood up and looked around and had seen they must have picked her up. Not seeing any part where they could have dug her off. He ran back to the prison, hoping he could get Rick to help him find her.
Reaching the prison, Rick saw Daryl and Scarlet's dog running to the fence. Rick hurried down to meet him at the gate. Somehow Rick knew something had happened.
"What happened? Where is Scarlet? "Rick asked loud.
"The Governor found us and knocks me out and shot her. I don't even know if she is alive. We need to go find her now." Daryl screamed.
"We can't now it is dark. We haven't seen anything of the Governor in weeks." Rick reasoned with him.
"What do you want me to do? Just sit back until her kills her." Daryl fussed.
"Come in and we will talk as a group about what to do." Rick said.
They walked into the prison and Daryl had told them what had happened. They had talked Daryl out of going to get her now. They had to wait and see what would happen. Daryl understood all this, but something had told him she needs him now.
Scarlet was being load up into a vehicle of some kind of her from what she could tell. She wonders what was going on. Who had taken her? What time was it? Was Daryl alive? She shouldn't have stopped she thought to herself. Should have just said while walking to the house. Maybe things wouldn't be happening like they are right now.
"Don't worry about being easy with her," the voice from early had said.
"Boss we don't want her to bang up they won't fall for it." The second one said.
"Hell with it. Who cares? "The first voice said.
"She is waking up again. Do you want me to knock her out? "The second voice asked.
"No, it will soon be time and I don't want to have to wait any longer than need." The first voice chimed.
Scarlet Knew her death would be soon. Tears built up in her eyes. She didn't want to die to leave Daryl. Worse yet Turn into a walker and having Daryl see that. She wishes this was all a dream but she knew it wasn't. Everything hurt too much.
Sun is coming up we will be ready to go look for her in thirty minutes, Daryl thought to himself. The feeling came to him out of nowhere. This wasn't going to end good for anyone. He could explain how he knew that. Hearing Hershel walk up behind him, he turned.
"I am sorry son. I know this must be weighing heavy on you. "Hershel said.
"How would you know what I am feeling right now?" Daryl asked holding back from yelling at him.
"Son, you forget I have lost family as well. "Hershel said to him.
"Yeah but it was when it happened. Not like this. To a man who is crazy and wants to kill everything one cares for." Daryl growled.
"I know it must seem that way to you. I don't think it would matter..." Hershel started to say when Maggie ran into the room.
"Someone coming up in a truck. Daryl, Rick wants you out there now." Maggie said.
Daryl ran out the door. He knew it was the Governor and his lackey. He didn't know how he knew this. Just that he could feel it in his bones.
"Who is it?" Daryl asked Rick.
"Governor. "Rick said.
Daryl had pulled his gun. He planned on shooting the bastard as he got out of the truck. Rick looked over and seen that Daryl had the gun pulled. Rick put his hand over it and said, "Don't, for all we know he has her in there and his lackey will kill her."
Lowering his gun to his side. He moved a few steps in front of Rick. The truck pulled up outside of the gate. The door opened and they had seen a body fall out of the truck and heard it moan. Daryl knew it was Scarlet and knew she needs help soon.
The Governor Stepped out and pulled her up to in front of him so no one would shoot. He walked her up to the gate and pushed her down holding on to her hair. She was sitting in an execution still. She was on her knees, head hang, and had her hand behind her back. Daryl starts to run to the gate with his gun up.
"Daryl doesn't, "Rick said, "He will shoot her."
Daryl stopped in his track. He had seen the Governor grin. All Daryl could think was how he wants to kill him. This was the second time he had messed with him. With someone he loved.
"Now, now, Rick we seem to have a playing field doesn't we. I want something for her. After I say what it is you have a minute to give it up or her dies." The Governor grinned.
"What is that?" Rick asked.
"I want that bitch. It was a part of our deal. Remember. "The Governor said, adding, "The minute as started."
"She isn't here right now how can I give her to you?" Rick lied.
"I know better Rick. Michone is in there. I have been watching and waiting for too long now." The Governor said, adding on, "Thirty seconds."
"Well if you kill her, then you have nothing to bragging' with. So why should I?" Rick stated.
With that Daryl turned and looked at Rick. How could Rick do this he thought? If the Governor killed her, he would shoot him and punch the shit out of Rick. As he turn back to the Governor, the Governor said, "Well doesn't someone in your group like this woman?" Looking straight at Daryl.
"That maybe so, but you still wouldn't do it." Rick said hoping to make this go longer.
"Well, time is up. "The Governor said. He clicks the gun out of safe, draw back the hammer, and put it to Scarlet's head.
"Please, let me say something before you do. A dying wish." Scarlet screamed.
"Fine. "The Governor said.
"Daryl, if you can hear me. I love you. Please don't do anything stupid. Move on from this. I will be with my family waiting for you." Scarlet said.
"Governor, don't you dare do this." Daryl yelled.
The Governor smiled and pulled the trigger. Laughed as her body went cold and fell to the ground. "At least I granted her dying wish."
Has he said that Daryl shot him and hit his mark. Dead in the heart. Rick ran up and pulled the trigger on his gun and fired two shots at the guy in the truck killing him.
Daryl ran up to Scarlet, pulled her up to him. He started to cry. He pulled her head up to see her face one last time. The bullet didn't go thru, so he got to see her face UN touched. He leans down to kiss her on the forehead.
"Got get Hershel now, "Rick yelled to who every would listen.
Moments later Hershel came out to see Daryl down on the ground crying over Scarlet's lifeless body the Governor dead behind him. Rick had the most horrible look on his face. Hershel knew Rick didn't want this to happen. Hershel made his way down to where everything had happened.
Daryl was so angered by everything that just happened. At least I will get to kill him twice, he thought to himself. He wasn't sure of anything anymore. Her last words rang in his like a bell. Repeating over and over.
Hershel was finally beside him and lower himself down and called Rick over.
"I am sorry Daryl. I didn't think he would do it."Rick started.
"That's right you didn't think. "Daryl yelled at him.
Rick knew it would be best if he left. With that he got up and said, "You can hit me later." He walked off.
"Son, grieve her. Do not wish her back thou. She is gone from this mess. She gave you something thou. Don't lose it."Hershel said.
"Oh, yeah. What was that? "Daryl yelled.
"Your humanity back. Love, son. "Hershel said.
"I just want to be alone. Leave me."Daryl said.
Hershel knew he needs time from this. He got back up and looked down at him saying, "Take your time son. We will bury her when you feel it is right."
"No we are going to burn her. I want to be able to take her with me." Daryl said looking back down at her.
Hershel walked away.
A few moments later the body of the Governor stirred. Daryl looked up from Scarlet's body, pulled his gun up and shot him in the head.
"That is for my brother you sorry piece of shit. The first one was for her. "Daryl said lying his gun down.
