Chapter 25

Third Person

Brandon and Anthony did indeed find Prue's knife. Brandon looked at him.

"We can't go back without Prue. Dixon will flip shit on us." He said.

Anthony nodded in agreement. Prue was like their sister…..but Daryl loved her more then anything.

"What else can we do?" He asked.

"We can try and find her and that won't be easy. Or we can go back to camp and trust Prue knows what she is doing." Brandon said.

"Maybe we should go back. Or at least one of us should. The other should stay behind and look for her." Anthony said.

Brandon was to go back and ensure the rest of the group that everything was alright and Anthony would find Prue and bring her back. Daryl was waiting as Brandon walked back onto the farm.

"Where's Prue?" He asked.

"She's safe. She and Anthony found something and they'll be back very soon." Brandon assured him.

"That supposed to help!?" He growled.

"Look don't you think you would know if she got hurt? I've seen the way you are with her. You know her and vice versa. If you can prove me wrong I'll let you run out into those woods and get her yourself." He said.

Daryl looked at him. He knew he was right but that didn't mean he liked it.

"If she don't come back safe in an hour…yer ass is done." He hissed.

Brandon nodded slowly and Daryl walked off.

"Yo man!"

T-dog walked over to him with Rick.

"Where's Prue?" Rick asked.

"Out there looking fer her friend. She has an hour before I go out looking for her." Daryl said.

"We need to get a few people together and go look. She could be hurt." T-dog said.

"She ain't hurt!" Daryl snapped.

"How do you know?"

Daryl didn't answer right away. He looked out towards the woods.

"I just know."

Prue's POV

There was only a little daylight left. I had to move fast. As I rounded the corner I saw a knife came flying at me.

"Holy shit!"

It only just missed me. I had no warning as something large tackled me to the ground. I knew it wasn't a walker because it did not smell like trash. Nor was it making the noise a walker would. I rolled over trying to get the upper hand but was pushed off. I rolled away as my attacker tried to stab me. I managed to stand before being hit hard again.

"Oof!"

I hit the ground hard. If this person knew not that I wasn't a walker before they should know now. And yet they came at me. From the size and strength of them I knew it was a man. I knew I had no chance of overpowering him on my own. I ran and he followed.

"Son of a bitch! Not going to give up are you!?" I said.

I ran as fast as I could and finally broke through the trees. He was still chasing me! I had to admit, he was pretty fast. He caught me and once again threw me to the ground. I was growing tired of that. He jumped forward and went for my throat but I rolled away. I jumped up quickly and grabbed him.

"DARYL!"

He came running out towards me with Rick, Glenn and Andrea. As I looked at Daryl I was thrown over again.

"Alright I am really getting tired of that!"

As he was about to hit me T-dog ran and grabbed him. They both fell to the ground and I Daryl practically picked me up and crushed me.

"Daryl…I cannot breath!" I said.

He pulled away and looked at me angrily.

"What were ye thinking!? I told ye bring yer ass back safe! Ye bring back a jackass! And I find him attacking ya! Ye really know how to royally piss me off! The hell kind of….."

I did not allow him to finish. I pulled his lips to mine and refused to let go. I guess he gave up because he held onto me tightly and thrust his tongue into my mouth.

"Uh…..lovebirds? We kinda need to know what happened." Glenn said.

Daryl pulled away and looked at him.

"Shut-up!"

I smiled as he kissed me again. I smiled into the kiss and then I heard Brandon speak.

"CHRIS?! What the hell?"

Daryl and I separated and I looked at the man T-dog was holding back.

"Brandon what are you doing?" Chris asked.

I watched Brandon look from me to him. He saw how messed up my cloths were and sighed and smacked his hand to his face.

"You attacked her didn't you!? You idiot! You're lucky Daryl didn't get a hold of you! You wouldn't be breathing if he had!"

"What's it matter!? And why do you care?" Chris asked.

"You don't know who she is?" Brandon asked.

Chris shook his head. Brandon was about to tell him when Anthony came running to us.

"PRUE!"

"Prue!?" Chris said in shock.
