I know I haven't posted a new chapter for a couple weeks I have just been under writers' block I guess. I have also been busy with my dad visiting and a couple days ago I found out about my cousin Colton's death. It's not the best chapter I've written so sorry.
Daryl's Perspective
Carol had helped clean up and stitch the stab wound so I just had to take it easy for a while. Hershel woke up the next day during the day. I was freaking out having to stay in the prison without being able to go out hunting for something to eat. Every morning it was like clockwork Carol running out of bed to puke her guts up at about the same time. I felt bad for her. She was about four months, but looked huge. I had to sleep on the top bunk in the cell so she could have a more comfortable sleep. All of the prisoners that had been here since the beginning of all this were dead. Today was the first time Carol didn't have morning sickness and we were glad for it.
"We found some generators and got them set up and working but if you take any showers keep it quick and so we can try to save power." Rick announced
Suddenly Beth came bursting in almost in tears, "Jessica is gone!"
"Why was she out there alone?!" Rick replied
"I was watching her while she was picking flowers and I saw something over in the woods. I didn't mean to Rick. I'm sorry. It's all my fault! I'm so sorry!" She sobbed.
"Glenn you and Maggie watch everyone. I need to go find her." Rick said
"I want to go!" Nicole and Carl exclaimed
"No. You are only kids." Lori said walking up
Rick and Michonne ran out of the cell block and out of sight. Beth was by Hershel crying while everyone was freaking the fuck out surrounding her. I sighed grabbing one of the rifles and my crossbow starting to make my way outside to keep watch.
"Where are you going Daryl?" I heard Carol ask from behind me in the hallway
"Get back to the others." I hissed not turning around to look at her
"Daryl." She replied
"I said get back to the others." I growled turning to look at her.
"Sorry for wanting to know where the hell you were going!" She yelped her eyes filling with tears and her hands on her stomach
Before I could say anything she took off back to the cell block. I yelled a couple swears on my way out. I stood outside looking at the walkers gathering a long the fence. As I began to walk the perimeter I decided to use my knife to kill a couple of them. After about an hour I saw a patch of Cherokee roses. I quickly picked a couple and made my way inside.
I found Carol sitting on the bed in our cell. She had changed her clothes and was now wearing one of my band shirts from a couple years ago and a pair of the maternity pants we had gotten when she started getting too big for her old pants. Her hair was down and in her natural curls hanging in her face. I smirked a little as I sat down. "What do you want?" She pouted
"Wanted to see if ya was okay." I frowned handing her the flowers.
She took the flowers pulling them close to herself, "You never know what could happen out there. We've lost a lot of people already. I wouldn't be able to live without you Daryl. Don't you understand that?" She sniffled
"I know. I was just worried. If Jess was taken we don't know if the person or thing that took her could still be out there and we needed someone on watch." I said
"Please just be careful." She sighed
"Always am. T took over so I'll stay with you for now." I smiled
I leaned over kissing her passionately. When we pulled apart we were left breathless. Suddenly there was a loud sob and we got up. Rick and Michonne were back, but no Jessica. Lori was crying into Rick's chest while he was trying to settle down her and Beth.
Later that night after everyone was basically sleeping Rick had a meeting for Glenn, Michonne, Maggie, T-Dog, Hershel, Merle, and me. "We need Merle and you to get out there tomorrow and try and track them down. Michonne and I aren't trackers but we followed them a little before losing it. We. I need her back as soon as possible. I know it isn't far to ask of you two but I need this done." He sighed
"If she's out there we'll find 'er. She'll be just fine." I announced
"Thank you." Rick replied
"Don't be thankin us yet." I yawned
"Everyone go get some sleep. T I'll get you in a couple hours for watch." Rick said walking off.
I sleepily jogged up to my cell parting ways with Merle. I toed off my boots and stripped down to my boxers. I was about to jump onto the top bunk when I hear Carol.
"Everything okay?" She whispered
"Yeah, I gotta leave tomorrow with Merle to find Jess." I muttered
"Okay, will you sleep by me?" She asked
"Sure." I said
I know I know it is kind of short. But I'll let you know the real Jessica, one of my best friends, is coming and helping out with a chapter in her perspective tomorrow and if I will have it posted either tomorrow or the next day. Thank you all for reading. It means a lot. Review? Well if you have any request for what should happen tell me. C: I love you all. Have an awesome Day/Night/Morning!
