Chapter 2: We're not goin' back

"Get the fuck off her" Daryl grumbled pulling the dead solider off Carol and helped her stand up.

Carol leaned most her body weight on Daryl as the surroundings started to spin. Daryl looked around as the Woodbury residents ran in different directions to get away from the cars turning up at the gate with Woodbury soldiers inside.

"I got ya" Daryl reassured her feeling her body give up. He started to walk fast with her towards the prison feeling bullets fly pass from his original group attempting to protect the prison.

Still holding Carol, Daryl kicked the governor in the head before he got up, he could have killed him, he should have killed him but Daryl knew Carol wasn't going to hold much longer. Daryl moved Carol's arm around his neck and picked her up, he started to run before the soldiers got through the gate. Daryl was surprised at how light she was that is when he glanced down and felt a wave of concern as Carol's eyes where closed.

"We can't fight them!" Daryl said keeping his grip on Carol and then taking cover with Rick.

"We need to fight for the prison. We can kill them and then make this our home!" Rick shouted over the sound of the bullets and then leaning forward out of cover to shoot.

Daryl looked around and spotted the truck not to far away. Daryl didn't need to think, he ran towards it. What was the point in fighting for the prison when there was nothing left to fight for? Daryl knew if he stayed there any longer Woodbury would have killed every single one of them, he is not letting that happen to Carol. Daryl opened the door and carefully but quickly helped Carol into the passenger seat and slammed the door. Carol laid herself across the truck but still keeping some space for Daryl to drive and then she faintly blacked out again. Daryl got in the truck and started the engine, by the corner of his eye Carol's body flinched at the sound of the walker banging on the window. The group had no chance with the prison being riddled with walkers and soldiers. Daryl drove top speed out the gate passing all the parked cars from the soldier and then down the dirt road; he looked behind to make sure no soldiers where following but they didn't even notice. He kept driving, the further away they where the better and then he can help regain Carol's health. He glanced over at her, hearing her small whimpers he placed his palm carefully on her back feeling and smelling her blood drip off every inch of her.

After maybe an hour Daryl thought it would be safe enough to stop the truck on a road for a couple of hours. He moved out his seat and kneeled down in front of Carol and watched as her bruised eyes wondered around his face. Part of him wished he killed The Governor there and then but maybe now he could track him down and give him a long hurtful death for what he done to Carol. Daryl got the bag from behind him and opened to find it full of medical supplies and food, he felt a small smile form on his face as he started to get out all the medical supplies he thought he would need. Carol tried to speak, she wanted to ask him so many questions but when ever she tried to find her voice her stomach hurt and then is sounded like small mumbles. Daryl put the medical supplies on the floor and grabbed hold of her hand, knowing she is in pain.

"Don't try and speak, just squeeze my hand for yes... Where ya shot?" He needed to know what they did, so then he would know what and how to treat her like the times Hershel showed him. He waited for her response but had nothing. His heart started to pump back at normal speed; at least he didn't have to take out parts of a bullet out of her.

"Stabbed?" Before he finished she was already squeezing his hand. He faintly nodded and let go off her hand finding the bandages to put pressure on the wound. Once he got them out he looked up and down her body until he realised she was stabbed on her stomach because that is where most of the blood is coming from. He slowly pulled back her top and got a glimpse of the really bad wound and then she pulled her top down, wincing at her movement.

"I'm fine" Carol managed to find her weak voice.

"Ya not fuckin' fine woman, I need to clean ya up" Daryl kept his voice steady, but at the same time he is trying to push out the thought of The Governor doing all this to Carol.

"I'm use to it" Carol looked at Daryl chest. Ed had done all theses things to her that she was use to having this constant pain, but The Governor did all the things Ed use to do to her but all at once, and that was the sort of pain she was not use to at all.

"Carol..."

"Why did you bother saving me anyway?" Carol wanted to change the subject; it hurt her heart every time she talked about Ed.

"Ya can't get rid of me that easy" Daryl said trying to hide his anger for The Governor making her feel this way. He wanted to tell Carol that he loves her but every time Daryl gets himself prepared for really showing his feelings Merle's voice comes into his head and then something blocks his throat for speaking.

Daryl attempted again to pull her top up and this time she didn't refuse. Carol just wanted all this blood off her, she whimpered at each touch Daryl made.

After Daryl got Carol all cleaned up, gave her some pain killers and food they where driving on the road again. Daryl wanted to get out this state, away from Woodbury.

"Where we going?" Carol spoke for the first time since there earlier conversation. She was looking out the window but really she was watching Daryl from the reflection of her window. She couldn't understand why he would risk his life for her; he was much of a use then her.

"We're goanna stop a couple of miles and sleep in the truck for the night" Daryl voice made Carol body feel all warm just thinking of his hot breath.

"Then?" Carol heard his little sigh.

"Then we get out this state" Daryl watched as she turned her head towards him.

"What about the prison?" Carol wanted to go back and see if anyone survived, what if their group won? One way or another Carol wanted to know what happened to their family.

"We're not goin' back" Daryl said like he could read Carol's mind. He want to go back but deep down he knew they didn't make it out or they where in some sort of horrific danger, he didn't want to go back and find their bodies because he knew it would hurt Carol for her to see it.

"Daryl! We need to go back and find them. They could be alive" Carol said trying not to wince.

"We are not goin' back for the governor to whip our asses" Daryl said swinging his one arm around. "I'm tryin' to protect ya; I'm not lettin' what the Governor did to ya again" Daryl continued. Carol nodded knowing he wouldn't change his mind to this one but then why should they? Rick was the one who threw Carol out so maybe what goes round comes round.

"We will stop here. Tomorrow we're searching some shops" Daryl said a couple of silent hours later, stopping the truck. Carol looked at the sky realising how dark it really is, but for the first time in a long time she felt tired. She looked over at Daryl leaning against the window and picking his Crossbow off the dashboard to clean.

"Rest woman" Daryl ordered without looking up. Carol chuckled at how she has fell in love with this demanding man.

"What?" Daryl asked looking up and then placing his Crossbow back where he found it. Carol shook her head, whimpering at the pain as she tried to get comfortable for the night. Daryl watched as her face turned into pain from movement and he instantly wanted to take that all away for him to have.

"Come 'ere" Daryl demanded again holding out his arms for her, Daryl helped her move towards him. Carol laid on his chest, in between his legs and she listened to his hard heart beat.

"Ya alright?" Carol felt his words vibrate through his body. Carol nodded into his chest and tried to sleep.

After a couple of unsuccessful moments of Carol not getting asleep, her eyes flung open at the sudden hotness of Daryl's lips on the top of her head for seconds before he pulled away. She smiled.

"I love ya woman" Daryl whispered.

Yay! So Daryl finally told Carol he loves her and he does not even not know she knows :D Please review your thoughts!
