ENJOY!
Daryl sat in front of the small fire he had built for himself. Everyone else was inside eating at the table like a big family making him roll his eyes at the thought. Daryl had always been a loner since he was a boy and being in the apocalypse didn't make him want to around a group of people anymore than before. He enjoyed being alone something about made a calmness run through his body.
The sound of footsteps from his back brought him out of his thinking state and to focus of the short grey-haired woman making her way to him. "Have you seen Lori?" She asked him making a stop at his side. "We can't find her anywhere."
"The dumb bitch probably went after em." Daryl said in a grunt. Carol turned to look down at him and shacked her head at him. She turned her body and took off making Daryl yell "Thank god' in his head.
"Don't do this, please?" Her words filled his ears from behind him. He was hoping she would leave but instead she walked right back to him. "I've already lost my little girl, not you too." Daryl slammed the stick he was holding in his hand into the dirt and got to his feet walking over to her.
"I'm aint your problem ether." He hissed in her face before walking off away from his camp to find some peace
...
By morning Daryl was beyond annoyed with Carol. He knew losing Sophia had been really ruff oh her, but she was babysitting him like a baby. She kept her eyes on his every move and was always there no matter what. Daryl was trying to be relaxed to her but she was just pushing him to damn hard.
"What the fuck ya' want woman." He yelled at her, Carol stopped and crossed her arms. "I can't even take a shit with out ya watchin' me?" He yelled at her, throwing his arms in the air. Carol's eyes shot open and she turned around making her was back to camp. A smile appeared across Daryl's face. "Bout damn time." He mumbled under his breath taking off towards the horse stable.
By the time he made it to the stable Carol was no where to be seen and was most likely walking around searching for him. He made his way over to Nellie who was eating what ever it was that horses ate. He padded the horse's nose and scratched behind her ears. "Ya like that huh?" He asked the hose who shacked her head up and down in reply to him.
"She likes being scratched above her right eye." Maggie said from behind him. Daryl jumped in his spot and turned to see her leaning against one of the post with her arms crossed over her chest. He turned back to the horse and took Maggie's advice and scratched the horse above her eye. The horse grew relaxed more then before making a smirk come across Daryl's lips.
"So your hiding from Carol?" Maggie asked him walking up beside him.
"How'd ya know?" He asked her his eyes looking over to her. His eyes scanned her face that was smiling at the horse in front of him. Her pink lips had a smile that made her cheek bones pop. His eyes watched her features as they shifted when what ever she was think about changed. He look at her green-blue eyes and the way they sparkled. The way her nose wrinkled making her eyes squint.
Daryl could not help himself from staring at the beauty standing at his side. He look in every feature she had and memorized her looks. Daryl knew this girl wanted to be his friend for some fucked up reason and he would admit he actually liked the idea of being friends with her, but he wasn't sure how long this friendship would last before he fucked it all up and made a move on her. He knew one day they would be talking or something and he would just kiss not being able to control himself.
"Daryl" he shook his head and was brought back to reality but her voice saying his name. He locked eyes with hers and could see a smile grow on her face. "What do you say?"
"What?" He replied confused by her question. Maggie shacked her head at him knowing he wasn't listening to her after all.
"My dad, Rick and Glenn came back today." She told him again.
"Your point?" He replied to her, Maggie huffed and shrugged her shoulders.
"You really weren't listening. They have some guy with him and he need some stuff from the local pharmacy and I need someone to go with me." Maggie told him.
"Why don't ya boyfriend go with ya then." He said scratching the horse above the eye.
"Well one he just got back and is exhausted, two I thought you would probably be better help right now. Plus you probably want to get away from here for awhile. you've been locked down here since the accident." Maggie said to his gesturing towards his head.
Daryl didn't want to admit it but he was happy she chose him to go with her. Not just because of Glenn but because she knew he had to get out of there. "Alright when we going?" He asked her, a smile spread across her face.
"Now, but were going to take my car." Maggie said and started heading to her car with Daryl following behind her.
...
The hole ride Maggie had been talking to Daryl trying hard to get him to talk to her. He would once in a while say a few things but most of the time just let her talk. The most she got out of him was that he had a brother Merle and the group had left him back in Atlanta for being a dick. Maggie felt bad for Daryl that the only family he had one abandoned and he was left with no one. She wasn't going to show Daryl pity though, she knew he hated it and that would push back everything she has been working for, which was for him to let her in.
Once they pulled up to the pharmacy that was a town over from the usually one they went to Daryl walked up first to the door. The door to the place had a long wooden board nailed over it keeping everyone out. Curtains hung over the windows not giving them advantage too look inside and see if there were any dead in there.
"Do you think there's any in there?" Maggie asked Daryl in a hushed whisper.
"I don't know, but we bout to find out." Daryl said slinging his bow along his back and grabbing the wooden board in between his hands and pulling it off the door. The wood came right off with the muscle Daryl had put into pulling it off. Daryl pulled his bows into his hands and positioned it at the door. He slowly walked into the building with Maggie not to far behind him.
The pharmacy was pitch black with a few beams of light coming from the holes in the curtains. Maggie pulled the flashlight from her back pocket and turned it on. She handed it over to Daryl who placed it on his bow so he could see what he needs to shot. Maggie slowly followed behind Daryl as he made his way further into the store. There were noises coming from anywhere or anyone.
"I think it's good." Maggie said, Daryl nodded his head in return and walked over to the window grabbing the Curtin and pulling it down. The room lit up showing there was no sign that this placed had even been hit.
The place was clean white with everything still on its shelves. It did not even look like they dead or living had come in contact with this place. Dust sat along the shelves and on top of bottles, being the only sign of the place being disserted. Maggie walked over to the shelves and grabbed antibiotics and bandages.
"Anything I can help with?" Daryl asked walking up behind her.
"Is Daryl Dixon offering to help?" Maggie asked him playfully, she could see a small blush on Daryl's face before he turned away.
"Fuck you then." He said and begun to walk to the other side of the store.
"Actually we need something that will be in the back." Maggie said to him, she crumbled up the piece of paper and tossed it to Daryl.
Daryl caught the paper and walked over to the door leading to the back. His hand reached around the handle to the door and grabbed it, the handle didn't move so Daryl pushed against the door. "Fuckin locks" he said under his breath. He took a step from the door and then with all his wait slammed into the door.
"Fuck" Daryl cursed out when the door didn't budge but his shoulder did. His arm hung lose and Daryl knew he dislocated his shoulder.
"What the hell" Maggie said running over to him. She looked at Daryl who was leaning up on the counter his hand wrapped around his arm. "Did you try to slam in the door?" Maggie asked smiling.
Daryl gave her a sort of grunt-growl in reply making Maggie laugh. "It looked easier in the movies." He said as Maggie walked up and slowly grabbed his arm.
"I think it's dislocated." Maggie said moving his arms around.
"No shit." Daryl grumbled, Maggie rolled her eyes at him and debated on putting it back in herself or letting him deal with it till they got back. Deciding better to get it over with she grabbed his arm and herd Daryl take in a deep breath. "Fuck" He said under his breath.
"Do you want me to do it or not?" Maggie asked him, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Yeah, just get it over with." Daryl said turning his head the other direction.
"Fine then don't whine like a baby, count of three." Maggie said grabbing his arms and lifting.
"I aint whine-what the fuck." Daryl yelled out when Maggie shoved his arms in. A smile spread across her face as he looked at her moving his arm around. "What happen to three?" Daryl asked making sure his arms wasn't messed up.
"I changed my mind." Maggie smirked at him then walked over to the back where all the medicines were. "I don't think were getting in that room so I'm going to try to see if I can find a back up med." Maggie called out to Daryl. She begun to scan through the pills looking for anything that could help.
Daryl didn't reply to her instead her decided to look around see if he could find a pack of cigarettes anywhere. He begun to search through the counter but it was turning up empty. When he was finally about to give up he was the small box squished up in the back with the golden 'M' on it. A smile spread across his face. "There you are ya little bitch." Daryl said reaching out to grab the box when the loud scream stopped him in his tracks.
Daryl jumped to his feet and turned to Maggie who was being grabbed by a walker. Daryl rushed over as fast as he could to her, jumping over a small shelf and almost knocking himself out on a hanging light.
"DARYL!" Maggie voice yelled through the store. She was trying to pry the dead mans cold hands off of her arm. His milky white eyes staring at her tanned arm. His mouth opened wide showing the black sloppy goop covering his teeth. His mouth was moving down about to take a chuck out of her arm. All she could feel was fear and regret in the moment. Thinking of everything she wished she had done and said before all this. She knew this was her last moment before Daryl would half to kill her before she became one of the dead things. Maggie closed her eyes and prepared for the bite.
Daryl shot the arrow hitting the walker right into its right ear. The walker let go of it's grip on Maggie and fell to the floor. Daryl looked over and saw Maggie with her eyes closed and shacking where she was standing. Daryl ran over to her and placed a hand on her back.
Maggie jumped and turned around and opened her eyes. Daryl stood in front of her and she felt the tears begin to fall from her eyes. Then she did something he didn't expect her arms were wrapped around his neck and her face was on his shoulder crying into it.
Daryl wasn't sure what to do, he had never had a woman crying on him before. Her wet tears were starting to go through his shirt and her hands were pulling hard on his neck bringing him as close as humanly possible. Daryl wasn't sure what he was suppose to do so he took one arm and wrapped it around her back, while placing the other one on her head and rubbing her hair.
"Your okay." He quietly said to her. "Your going be okay." He told her and he could hear her sobs beginning to finally slow down. After a minute she finally pulled her head away from him. Her cheeks were stained with tears and her eyes puffy and red from crying. Daryl looked at her wondering why she was giving his this look, I was a look he had never seen before from her. No Daryl takes that back he knows this look and he knows it's not good.
...
Glen sat with Dale at the camp while the rest were walking around and doing things that had to be done. Glenn was playing with his hat that Maggie had recently cleaned for him after the hole egg incident.
"Glen why you hanging around here? Why aren't you off with Maggie?" Dale asked him, Glenn looked up at the old man who was like a grandfather to him.
"I'm not sure where she is. I woke up and couldn't find her." Glenn replied to him.
Where was she anyways? Glenn asked himself. The last he had seen her was this morning after he got back and she was happy. He did ask her what her plans were for the day and she told him to have to make a run, and when she told him that he should sleep instead and insisted she wait until he woke up for him to go with her and she agreed.
"Have any of you seen any of you seen Daryl?" Carol asked walking up to the two men. Glenn looked over at the grieving mother who looked more lost than ever.
"Nope." Glenn said popping the p.
"He's been gone all morning, I'm starting to get a little worried." She said wrapping her arms around her skinny body. The woman had look like she had not eaten in weeks.
"Sorry Carol last time I saw him was this morning. If I see him I'll let him know your looking for him." Dale replied to her. Carol gave him a small smile and a nod then took off towards the others, most likely to ask them the same question.
Glenn begun to wonder if there was something going on between Carol and Daryl. The two seemed to be together a lot more recently and he had always suspected that she had felt something for him. They would actually be sort of cute together, not as cute as him and Maggie but they would be alright. Wait a second Maggie is missing and so is Daryl, what is there? No they couldn't be. Glenn told himself, that would be crazy Maggie would never go for him. Well maybe she would she went for him and Glenn had nothing on Daryl.
Glen swallowed the lump in his throat and felt his body stiff. "Is everything okay son?" Dale asked him patting him on the back.
"Yeah" Glenn replied to him. "I think I just might need to throw up." Glenn said and got up on his feet and ran to a tree and released his guts onto the grass. Maggie would never cheat on him with Daryl. Would she?
