Rhiannon's Perspective.

I sat there waiting for Jessica while she spoke with her parents. Carol had come in a couple times reassuring me Jess would be here soon.

Daryl had been in the corner of the cell the whole time I'd been here. "They're going to come back." I muttered

"And we'll be ready." Daryl replied fiddling with his crossbow.

I nodded and looked over at the entrance of the cell when I heard the door creak. I brought my knees up letting Jessica sit down.

"Thanks." She said hugging me.

I swallowed hard and pulled away. "Are they going to let me go?" I whispered.

She shrugged and I sighed frustrated. "Well I was just wondering that. You can go now." I said

"I'll see you later." She smiled leaving.

"So they don't trust me being here, but they won't let me leave?" I asked.

"Ain't safe out there for a little girl." Daryl mumbled.

"I'm not a little girl." I spat.

"Well ya ain't an adult." He grumbled.

""I can handle my own. I have all my life!" I growled.

"You can't do things alone anymore." He said.

I nodded and frowned a bit.

"Those people you were with, were they your parents?" He asked

"Hell no. Never knew my dad cause I was just the outcome of some hit and run shit in some bar bathroom. Crystal, my mom left me when this all started to go get high." I laughed sadly.

"Crystal what?" He questioned

"Muir." I replied.

"I'll send someone in with ya. I got watch." He spat almost running out.

For the next couple hours Carol and Beth came in to check on me. I still hadn't seen any sight of Daryl and I could tell it was close to dinner.

I was just about to go and find my things, but ran right into the Grimes' family. Carl was holding two bowls while the rest had one. "I'd like to say thanks for saving Jessica." Rick smiled.

"Wasn't going to lead her to her death." I muttered

"I'm sorry about earlier." Lori said.

"It's fine." I replied walking to sit at the table in the empty cellblock I had woken up in.

After Rick left I looked up and noticed Carl had sat down. "I brought you some." Carl said pushing a bowl in front of me.

"Thank you." I smirked taking a couple bites of the mashed potatoes.

I quickly got up and went over to my things taking back my back pack. I went through it until I found my small bag of beef jerky. I smiled and gave Carl a piece.

We ate talking a little about our life before this all happened until Daryl and his brother came in. Now inside the prison I could see his brother more clearly. I stared at him for a bit before I noticed it.

My eyes went wide as I pulled out the only picture my mom had shown me of her and my "dad" that I always carried with me in my pocket. I looked at him then the picture and back at him. I stuffed it back in my pocket before getting up and storming over to him. I froze for a moment before my anger took over. "You fucking dick!" I yelped pushing him.

He didn't even move an inch and began laughing. I growled in anger punching him in the chest a couple times. Suddenly he grabbed my wrists and pulled me up the stairs and to his cell. "Merle go easy on her!" Daryl yelled.

"Figuring out yer a Dixon?" Merle chuckled.

"I'm not a Dixon!" I yelled

"It's in yer blood girl." He grinned

"No! You were never there! You left mom! You didn't even know me and you left! I didn't even get a chance!" I shouted choking back a sob.

Merle just stood there staring at me. I quickly wiped the tears trying to come down. "I never had anyone there for me." I added.

"I didn't know." Merle replied.

"I don't need you, I don't need a dad! I said backing up.

"Ya may not want me, but ya ain't leaving." He mumbled.

"Fine." I sniffled.

"Yer still my kid so ya gotta listen, and I don't want ya hanging around Carl." He said gruffly.

"You can't just tell me what to do, we just met. I can do what I want." I said narrowing my eyes at him.

"God, aint no way you aren't a Dixon. Ya got that fuckin glare." Merle laughed walking away.

"UGH!" I groaned going back to Carl.

I angrily stomped over to where we were sitting and sat down. I took a deep breath before looking over at him. "Have you picked out a cell yet? You can have one by mine." He smiled

"Uh, and where is that?" I asked

"I can show you if you want." He offered.

"Okay." I smiled getting up and following Carl.

We had just passed Merle's cell when I heard his voice. "The hell did I tell ya kid?!"

I sighed and turned on my heel walking to the door of his cell. "Stop trying to control my life!" I snapped before running back over to Carl.

I heard Merle get up and growl coming over to us. "Yer gonna take the one next to me so I can keep an eye on ya." He grumbled.

"Whatever." I said walking into the one he told me to.

Merle was glaring at Carl while he stood there. Carl quickly turned to me, "I'll see you later." He said before going into his cell right on the other side of mine.

At about midnight I heard someone get up and walk past my door. I quietly got out of bed and tried to navigate my way through the dark prison. When I got to the stairs I noticed it was Carl and ran down after him. "Carl." I whispered when I got a couple feet behind him.

He turned and waited for me to catch up, "Hey." I smiled

"What are you doing up?" He asked.

"Couldn't sleep, you?" I replied.

"I have watch." he sighed.

"Can I come with you?" I questioned.

"Sure." He said unlocking the door.

We walked in silence up to the guard tower and told Maggie and Glenn they could go to bed.

"So what's with Merle?" Carl asked closing the tower door.

"Well, uhm. I'm his kid and he just found out today. And he doesn't want me to hangout with you." I sighed.

"Oh, well, why?" He asked confused.

"I don't even know, It's not like you'd hurt me." I smiled a bit.

"Yeah." He nodded

I looked over at Carl as he watched the fence. He had blue eyes like many of the others here. I had always had it bad for guys with dark hair and light eyes. I quickly looked away and shuffled a little nervously.

When I glanced back up at him he was smiling at me. I giggled shyly and looked down. As I stared back up in his eyes we both leaned in closing our eyes. Our lips had barely touched when the door swung open loudly making us shoot apart.


Daryl's Perspective.

Carol had just gone to sleep when Merle's yelling started. We both sighed stepping out of our cell to see Merle storm out of the block. I left Carol after having her go back to bed. Just as I was about to go after Merle he came back in. He had is daughter thrown over his shoulder struggling to get down. I followed Merle to his cell while he grabbed a chain and a pad lock. I laughed as he pushed her into her cell and locked her in.

"You can't lock me in here!" She shouted.

"I can do what I want, little girl." He replied.

"I hate you!" She yelped.

Merle just shrugged her off and went back into his cell while I did the same.

I woke up the next morning to the sound of whispers and peeked out to see Carl and Rhiannon talking through the cell door.

I sighed and headed down to the kitchen. I quietly walked in and came up behind Carol wrapping my arms around her.


Okay sorry for not updating for so long. I wrote this at school and it has more to it but I want to get this out tonight and can't write the rest cause I'm getting a head ache. I'll try and get the rest out by Friday because tomorrow my sister is having her baby so I'll not be home. Ideas are welcome just so you all know. They would be very helpful. Don't be shy. Also if you want leave a review on if you liked the chapter and about Carol's baby/babies. Should it be a boy or girl, or even both. I would love to hear what you guys think. I haven't even thought of any baby names. Well I love you all. Have an amazing day, night, or morning.
