My Girl's been Kidnapped
Timi went on a supply run with Glenn and Maggie today. They thought it would be faster with the 3 of 'em, but I didn't want her out there without me. She was happy to get out of the prison, but I'd much rather have takin' her out with me. I sat on our bunk gettin' ready to go search the prison with Carl and the new guy Oscar. My mind wandered to this mornin' when the kid was leavin'.
"I don't want'cha to go, out there alone," I said to 'er as she got ready for the run with Glenn and Maggie.
"Daryl, I need to get out of the prison for a bit and you know I won't be alone," she said lookin' at me as I leaned against the wall with my arms crossed.
"Yeah, but I won't be there to protect ya. If ya want to get out, we can go huntin' together," I said walkin' over to 'er.
"As much as I love hunting with you, I've already agreed to go with. Besides I can take care of myself," she said lookin' up at me with 'er dark brown eyes.
"I know ya can take care of yourself, but it sucks not being able to have you're back and know where ya are," I said leanin' my forehead on Timi's.
"I know, but I'll be fine and back before you know it."
I nodded my head and kissed 'er softly on the lips.
"Will ya make it up to me when ya come back?" I asked when I pulled away from our kiss.
She smiled at me and said, "I'll make it up to you when I get back."
I smirked and said, "Alright I'll be waitin' for tonight, but be careful alright?"
"I'll be careful."
"I love ya."
"I love you too."
She gave me one last kiss before I walked 'er to the car to see 'er off for 'er adventure.
After I came back from my memory of this mornin' I grabbed my crossbow and went to find the two people who were gonna help me clear out part of the prison. We looked around and didn't find too many walkers around the area. Felt badly for Carl, he was still gettin' over his moms death. Bet it was hard havin' to watch 'er die and shoot 'er in the head.
I tried to relate with 'im and I told 'im about what happened to my mom and how she died in a fire. I ain't really one for tellin' people about my life, but I think the kid needed to hear it. He said he was sorry about my mom and I told him I was sorry about his. We walked further and went into one of cells, Oscar found a pair of slippers for relaxin'. I thought it was weird, but whatever floats his boat.
A walker was comin' for us and we put 'im down pretty easily. Not sayin' it didn't catch us off guard, but we handled it nicely. I found Carol's knife lodged in the neck of the walker and took it out. I wiped it off on the walker's jumpsuit and looked at it carefully. I wondered if she was down here after everything happened.
I sent the others back and decided to stay here and think. As I sat against the wall in the lower level of the prison, I was jabbin' Carol's knife into the floor, and thinkin' that Carol was quite possibly gone and I had a naggin' feelin' that my girl was in danger. I didn't want to believe that Timi was in trouble, I wanted to go back to our cell block and have her waitin' for me with that damn adorable smile that I couldn't get enough of.
The damn door that we passed earlier was still openin' and closin' and it was annoyin' the hell out of me. I slammed the knife against the wall a couple of times, got up, and kicked the door hard. I paced the floor and then dragged the walker that was laying against the door away from it. I flung open the door getting' ready to kill a walker, but saw Carol laying there lookin' dehydrated and tired.
Carol looked up at me and I couldn't believe she was all right. I scooped her up into my arms and carried her back to our cell block. Maybe I was wrong to give up hope, maybe my girl's fine and I'm just thinkin' the worst.
We got Carol settled in a cell and I heard a commotion going on out in the common room. I see Rick hoverin' over some African-American women and I wondered who she was, but I really didn't care. I interrupted them and had the group come to the cell block, I had some good news. I closed the door to the cell block and locked the women in the common room.
I took 'em to the cell I put Carol and everyone was relieved she was all right. She noticed the baby and everyone started tearin' up because of the realization of what happened. It was hard, but I'm glad Carol's all right.
We went back out to the common room to question the women who showed up with stuff that Maggie and Glenn were probably gettin'. She told us that they were takin' and I couldn't believe that they were kidnapped. My girl was in trouble and I knew it. I knew I should have listened to that naggin' feelin' in my gut.
I had my eye on 'er and pointed my crossbow at 'er when she was gettin' a little feisty with Rick. She told us to find 'em ourselves, so Rick told me to stand down. I eyed the women wearily and I wanted to know where my damn girl was taken to. She told us about this place called Woodbury and how this guy named the Governor ran it.
I didn't like the sound of it and I hoped he didn't lay a finger on my girl or I'll kill that motherfucker in a heartbeat. I asked if he had any muscle in Woodbury, but she said they were just military wannabes. Seemed easy enough to take. She said we could slip our way through, I wasn't opposed of gettin' our people back especially Timi, but I still didn't trust 'er.
Rick told 'er that Hershel would patch 'er up and I followed 'im into the cell block. We all gathered around and tried to organize our plan of gettin' our people back. I offered to go myself, but Rick said that I shouldn't be goin' alone. I didn't care, I wanted my girl back, but I guess it would be no use if I wind up dead. Everyone offered to jump in to go get 'em back.
We organized a team, which consisted of Oscar, Rick, and I. We were bringing the stranger, Michonne, with us so she can help sneak us in. I quickly went to grab my stuff from the cell and go after the fuckers who took the only thing I've ever loved.
Rick stopped me half way and said, "Daryl I need you to calm down before we go look for them."
"I'm not gonna fuckin' calm down, my girl was kidnapped and they're gonna pay if anything happened to her."
"I know Daryl, but we have to do this with some kind of plan and structure, or we'll get us all killed."
"Fine," I said going back to the task of getting my bag and extra arrows.
We finally loaded up the SUV and took off towards the place called Woodbury. We parked the car half way towards Woodbury and got out, decidin' to head the rest on foot. We grabbed some of our stuff and cut through the woods.
Rick thanked me for lookin' out for his baby and I told 'im that's what we do. A herd of walkers were headin' towards us and we tried to take out as many as we could. We decided to go travel further through the woods and found a cabin to hold up in.
It smelled awful in there, and it turned out to be a dead fox, at least what was left of it anyway. There was some dude inside and started to cause a ruckus. It was only riling up the walkers outside some more. He was aimin' a gun at Rick and when Rick pushed it away it fired, and almost hit me. The man tried to run, but that new girl stuck her sword through 'im. I decided to toss him outside to distract the walkers, and Rick helped me hoist his body out, and we went out the back.
We finally reached the town that's holdin' my girl captive, its night time so it's as good as time as any to attack this shitty place. We huddle outside the perimeter trying to figure out how to sneak in, while Michonne came back finding a point of entry. We got ready and put our plan to action and infiltrate Woodbury and save our people.
We went into one of the places and I looked out the window seein' people walkin' the streets. We needed to move because if we stayed in there, we'd be sittin' ducks. Michonne suggested that they could be in his apartment, and I shot back with what if they ain't. We couldn't run around this whole goddamn town, tryin' to find my girl, Glenn, and Maggie. I wanted to find Timi now, and make sure she's all right.
I suggested that we split up, it was practically the blind leading the blind. Someone was comin' into the building and we hid keepin' low. He came closer and Rick grabbed him pointin a gun to his head. Rick made him get on his knees and we zip tied his hands. Rick tried to get answers out of 'im, but the man didn't know what we were talkin' about. I knocked him out with my crossbow and we hid 'im from view.
We heard gun fire comin' from one of the buildings and we readied ourselves for a fight. We went to the warehouse that the gunshot's came from and saw some people movin' about. We looked through a window, plannin' our attack. We got some smoke grenades ready and through 'em out to surprise our enemy's.
We grabbed Maggie and Glenn, but there was no sign of Timi. There was no time to waste and we carried them to a buildin' to regroup. We checked it out and it was all clear. I asked if I should go look for the women that was with us, but Rick told me not to.
"We have to get them out of here," Rick said.
"We have to find Timi," I spoke up.
"We'll find her, I promise," Rick said.
Glenn spoke up and told me that Merle was involved in this. I couldn't believe my brother was alive, I knew that tough son of a bitch could make it through anythin'. Glenn told me about what he did and I asked if he was the Governor, but he was just his lieutenant or somethin'. They told them where the prison was, but Rick said it was okay.
They said we needed to go, but I couldn't leave my brother and my girl behind I needed to find 'em.
"I need to see Merle, and he might know where Timi is," I said.
"Not now, we're in hostile territory," Rick said to me.
"That's my brother and my girl."
"Look what he did. We have to get out of here now. I'm sure Timi will be fine," Rick said.
"Maybe I can talk to him and work somethin' out. I have to find 'em."
Rick tried to get through to me, but I only had those two important people on my mind. I couldn't leave my girl here, she important to me, my brother too.
"Are you with me?" Rick asked.
I hesitated for a second, thinkin' about my options and nodded my head, "Yeah."
I threw out two more grenades as we decided to make a break for it. Rick counted to three and opened the door, and I threw the grenades into the street. We waited a split second before Rick told us to go.
We went out and found someone pointing a gun at us, and it turned out to be my girl.
"Timi," I said as I pointed my crossbow at 'er.
"Daryl," she said back.
I was so happy to see 'er there I couldn't believe I was gonna leave 'er behind, but she was here now and that's all that mattered. I noticed the shiner and bruise around her eye and I wondered if that asshole did that to 'er. She threw 'er arms around me and I hugged 'er tight. I didn't want to break this moment, but I knew we had to because we were in a war zone.
"I hate to cut this short kid, but we're in hostile territory," I said as I pulled away from 'er.
"Yeah," she said with a nod.
"Come on let's get to that wall over there and get out of here," Rick said as we started moving towards it.
We shot at anythin' and everythin' that was firing at us. We were takin' people down left and right, my girl wasn't doin' to bad either. Oscar got up on the bus that was by the wall to help everyone get up and over. Glenn and Maggie went over the wall first, but the kid hesitated.
"Go kid, I'll be fine," I said to 'er as I looked over my shoulder.
"Be careful Daryl," she said to me and I nodded my head.
She went over and Oscar got shot as I continued to lay down some cover fire. Rick went over and called out to me, but I wasn't listenin'. I stayed behind and I knew my girl would be pissed at me, but I needed to see my brother. I got apprehended and I wondered if I was gonna regret tryin' to stay behind. I was being takin' somewhere and I had a cloth over my head, and couldn't see shit.
I wasn't gonna lie, I'm pretty fuckin' scared at this moment, but I know I'm gonna make it through this. I have to make it through, I need to see my girl again. Someone took the cloth off of my head, and I was guessin' he was the Governor.
I saw Merle eyein' me and I wondered what I gotten myself into. I saw Andrea too, I couldn't believe she was alive. There was so many people gathered around, I just hope I'll be okay. Everyone was shouting and spewing things out, mostly, "Kill them!"
The Governor ordered my brother and me to fight to the death. I couldn't believe that this asshole was gonna make us do this. Merle started talkin' to the crowd and then punched me hard. Then he kicked me and I couldn't believe he was doin' this. I punched him back straight in the face. I got up and grabbed my brother who tossed me to the ground.
He was on top of me and we were grabbin' at each other. They brought in some walkers and I was astounded by these people's behavior, they are fuckin' nuts.
"You really think this asshole is gonna let you go?" I said as I had my hands wrapped around Merle's neck.
"Just follow my lead little brother. We're gettin' out of this, right now," he said to me.
He pulled me up and we were fightin' back to back. I knew my brother wouldn't turn on me, he ain't that much of an asshole. We fought off the walkers some of the people were holdin' and we kept them back. Gun shots rang out and shot the walkers in the head. I bet it was our people comin' back for us.
They threw a smoke grenade and chaos broke out around us. Gunfire was being exchange between both sides and Merle and I made our way out. I grabbed my crossbow from some guy and we made our way to the exit where Rick, Maggie, and Timi were waitin'. We followed Merle as he helped us get the hell out of there.
I kept a close eye on my girl, she seemed on high alert, but I'm glad she's with me right now. We got out of the place and took down some walkers and headed for the woods. We walked for a few hours and made it back to the car.
They weren't too happy to see Merle with us and Glenn pulled out his gun and Michonne took out 'er katana. I tried to help calm everyone down, Merle helped us out. I know he kidnapped 'em, but Merle's my brother. Merle was actin' like a jackass, but that wasn't new for 'im, sometimes I wish he'd just shut the fuck up.
Rick knocked Merle out and mumbled "asshole." I understood why he knocked 'im out, Merle didn't know when to stop sometimes, well almost all of the time.
We went to the road and tried to discuss Merle's future. Timi stood next to me and I told the group that Merle should stay. No one would have it though, everyone wanted to leave Merle behind. I couldn't leave Merle behind he was all I had left, blood wise anyway. Yeah I had my girl, but she was just someone I got to know and fall in love with. All eyes went to my girl after they were done voicing their opinions.
She looked like she didn't know what to say. I could see 'er workin' out 'er thoughts in 'er mind, but I hoped she would side with me. She knew how important Merle was to me.
"I don't know," she started, but I cut 'er off, "What ya mean ya don't know? He saved you're life."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Was she really gonna side with everyone else that Merle shouldn't stay with us.
"Yes and I'm grateful for that, but he is the reason we were there in the first place," she said.
"She's right plus do you want him sleeping in the same cell as her, Carol, Beth?" Glenn cut in.
"He ain't a rapist," I said.
I was gettin' pissed and I wasn't gonna go back if my brother couldn't be there with me. It was always Merle and I before all this shit even happened.
"But his buddies are," Glenn said.
"Don't ask me to leave him, I already did that once," I said.
"Daryl, don't," Maggie said.
"Y'all don't know, it was always Merle and I before all this," I just shook my head and started walkin' to get my stuff.
The kid followed me towards the trunk and said, "Daryl don't go."
"Come with me," I said as I fiddled through my stuff.
"I don't want to leave the group."
"I knew you were too good to be true. Fine stay with 'em, to hell with ya. I thought we were in love, but it was all just shit. So just fuck off," I said with so much hurt and anger runnin' through me.
I could see the tears in 'er eyes and she said one last phrase to me, "Screw you Daryl Dixon! I hate you."
I slammed the trunk shut and walked away. It hurt at what she said, I knew I crossed the line when I said our love was shit. I never thought I'd be the one to cause 'er so much pain. I couldn't get 'er hurt face out of my mind. It broke my heart that I had to do that and I left 'er behind, just to stay with my dumbass brother.
I went into the woods where my brother was waitin' and I willed myself not to turn and look at the love of my life as I walked away. It pained me to do this, but maybe it's for the best. Maybe a Dixon isn't cut out for this love shit, I just hope she'll be all right.
