Carol was furious none aside from Rick and Dale were concerned about what had happened to Daryl or her Sophia.
To hell with them, she was going to look for Sophia herself and Shane could go fuck himself Carol thought angrily.
Carol went into the woods calling for Sophia.
"SOPHIA!" "SOPHIA IT'S MOM!" Carol called out unaware of the walker behind her.
Carol walked turned behind her and saw a footpath when she saw a walker staring at her, the walker blinked for a moment before tearing into her arm.
Carol screamed in agony and fear. She hit at the walker with her free arm then jumped at the sound of a gun behind fired. The walker fell to the ground with a hole in its head.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?" Andrea's angry voice shook the other woman as the blonde stormed over to her. "You just don't listen!"
"My daughter is out here!" Carol shot back.
"YOU JUST GOT YOURSELF BITTEN!" Andrea screamed, aiming her gun at Carol. There was a pause as they looked at each other, blood dripping down Carol's arm and the woman knew her consciousness, and probably life, were reaching its end.
"Oh God." She muttered, the realization of all her actions just dawning on her. She looked at Andrea, eyes welling up as she stumbled.
"You...stupid...stupid woman." Andrea muttered, finger tightening on the trigger. The shot rang out and Carol collapsed to the ground, a neat little hole in her cheek.
"What the hell just happened?" Shane's voice called from behind the blonde woman.
Daryl, Aleigh and Sophia were sitting at the table eating porridge with blueberries in the bowls.
Daryl glanced at Sophia, she looked healthy, with her face clean and wearing a pair of fresh clothes.
Aleigh had just showered and Daryl had gone before her, there was a sexual tension between them and it made Daryl just want to grab Aleigh and fuck her senseless.
"Aleigh you can come with us" Sophia said looking pleadingly at Daryl "Can't she Daryl?" Sophia asked Daryl.
Daryl glanced at her, seeing Aleigh again had awakened the feelings he held for the red head although he would never admit it.
"Yeah she's coming with us" Daryl said gruffly.
Aleigh blinked "I can take care of myself Daryl, I don't want to be a burden" She told him firmly.
"Ain't up for negotiations here, woman." Daryl growled, casually slipping blueberries from his bowl into Sophia's. "Folks need to stick together these days."
"Yeah...because a big old pack ain't gonna draw attention." Aleigh muttered.
"Please Aleigh." Sophia pleaded. The red head turned her green eyes to the child and sighed, blowing strands out of her face. She nodded finally, consenting, and received a hug in return.
"Get everything packed up once you finish and we'll head out." Aleigh instructed. "Bet your momma's just waiting to see you again." Sophia smiled and nodded, gulping down the rest of her food before rushing off to get their stuff together. Aleigh looked over the bowls, wondering if they were worth saving. Daryl let his eyes skim over the body moving around in front of him and bit back a groan as she bent over to tie a loose lace.
She fucking did that on purpose, he knew it!
"You're getting on with the kid well." Daryl grunted, thinking of a distraction.
"She's sweet...and you know me...I like kids." Aleigh remarked, straightening back up slowly.
Daryl did know that, when they were younger, Aleigh would babysit the kids who lived in the trailers and make a fuss of them.
Part of the reason he liked her so much.
Damn her and that beautiful smile, Daryl thought as he finished his breakfast.
Aleigh was in her bedroom having changed into a pair of tight grey skinny, jeans, a black vest top with her crescent moon necklace, her black biker boots and her leather jacket.
She put her Sais in her two holsters on her jean clad thighs and her knife in her boot.
Making sure she had packed everything and that Sophia had all her things , she took their bags and headed back to the living room.
Daryl and Sophia were ready and Daryl took one of the bags off Aleigh as she began taking all their supplies into a duffle bag, along with the medicine.
"Right let's go" Daryl said firmly.
They went out of the door and made their way to the farm. Aleigh glanced at Daryl as he led them and thought back to a time a few years ago.
He was going to lose his mind!
One night was fine.
Two, he could stand.
But three? No fucking way! He was getting his damn bed back.
Merle was off somewhere, had been for the last day or so. Aleigh had stayed with them the whole time, or more specifically with Daryl then whole time. He had spent as much time as he could out hunting but had gotten himself drawn back in on a sort of schedule when he quickly realized Aleigh knew a lot about cooking and was willing to make up all meals.
But damn it, he wanted his bed!
Some sexy little red head was not keeping him from it.
"Move!" Daryl barked, walking into the bedroom late at night.
"Excuse me?" Aleigh asked, sitting up and rubbing her eyes.
"You heard me girl." Daryl ground out. "This is my bed."
"So?" Aleigh asked, sighing. "I ain't keeping you from it."
"I...what?" Daryl blinked in confusion. He frowned at her, unsure why exactly this was his reaction. "Get out of my bed!"
"No way, I like it." Aleigh remarked.
"Get out or I'm making ya." Daryl ordered. Aleigh just looked at him, that challenge back in place. He frowned at her and reached down, intent on pulling the blanket up and flipping her out of the bed. What he didn't have in mind was her grabbing his arm with one hand and putting the other behind his head before she yanked him down. Aleigh rolled quickly, forcing Daryl onto his back and putting herself on top of him.
"Now, now Darylina...we can share." The red head teased. That earned a slap to her arm and a growl before he rolled them over to put himself on top.
"Don't call me that." Daryl ground out.
"Make me stop." Aleigh challenged. She moved up so quickly that Daryl was forced to sit back unless he wanted a head butt. "You, wanting anything yet?"
"What?" Daryl asked. Aleigh grinned and it was such a dark mischievous thing that it instantly caused a sense of arousal in him. Her tongue slid out and she gave it a wiggle in the air and that was just it for the hunter. He couldn't take anymore of her teasing. He'd be damned if he didn't push to see just how far she would take her challenges.
Aleigh was almost caught off guard when Daryl suddenly grabbed her head and kissed her. He forced her back down to the bed, all the while keeping their mouths fused together. She groaned as he moved his legs in between hers and ran a rough hand under her shirt. He palmed her breasts, experimenting with squeezes and pinches to the mounds of flesh, each action earning a whimper of delight from the red head. She gripped around the buttons of his shirt and gave a pull, successfully ripping it open and sending buttons flying.
"I liked this shirt." Daryl mumbled against her lips.
"Buttons are overrated." Aleigh ground out. She lifted her hips to rub against him, legs looping around his waist.
Daryl pulled at Aleigh's thin grey vest top and pulled it off her leaving her in a grey lace bra, and her grey shorts.
Daryl groaned at the thought of her being naked and wet underneath him.
He went behind her then, and began kissing and sucking her neck as he pulled her bra off, showing her ivory creamed breasts, fuck Daryl just wanted kiss and suck them, the thought was making him hard.
Daryl pulled Aleigh onto the bed, so that her head laid on the pillows, as her dark green eyes met his bright blue eyes.
"You're so sexy" Aleigh said seductively as she traced his scars and leant in and whispered, "Your scars turn me on Daryl" she said seductively.
Daryl shuddered at the undeniable sexual attraction that was between them.
"How about a deal Cowboy?" Aleigh suggested, trying to regain some dignity. Daryl's eyebrow raised in interest and Aleigh softly stroked her hand through his hair. "You show me your technique...I show you mine."
"Sounds good." Daryl agreed, nodding once. "Let' let the games begin then Darling." Without warning he dove right in. Aleigh yelped out of the surprise but then her eyes suddenly rolled and she let out a moan from deep in her chest as his tongue pressed firmly against the little bundle of nerves.
"Fuck." Aleigh dragged out her cursing on a soft groan. Daryl smirked smugly as he got to work, flattening his tongue and working it side to side as his eyes lifted up to watch her face. His fingers danced up her thighs as he tongued his way around the pink flesh that he had dreamed of for the last few nights. He slid his hands under her thighs and shifted them over his shoulders before reaching an arm around to lie across her stomach, keeping her body on the bed as she made the attempt to suddenly buck up against him.
He chuckled, sending a delightful vibration through Aleigh's body and she began to pant as she momentarily forgot to breath. He wiggled his flat tongue up and down, slipping inside her every so often before closing his lips and suckling momentarily. He got painfully hard at the whimpers of pleasure he was emitting. His jeans rubbed against his member in an uncomfortable way but he made the attempt to ignore it. Instead, Daryl focused on completely throwing off the red head (who was obviously a fake red if the curls in front of his face were anything to go by).
"Oh God!" Aleigh gasped out when Daryl's tongue suddenly curled up and shot in a zig zag motion. Her head pressed back against the pillows and she lifted a hand to cover her face, not even sure of what to do anymore. She struggled against his arm holding her body down. She wanted to move, she wanted to participate in some way but Goddammit! He wasn't letting her. "Fuck Daryl!"
"You will soon enough." Daryl murmured against her soaked flesh, eliciting another moan out of the frustrated woman. He looked up at her for a moment before taking it all home. He slid two fingers within her folds and worked them in opposing motions. When one went in, the other was coming out, and it just kept repeating. He was turning Aleigh into a quivering lump of pleasure and he couldn't have been more pleased.
"Oh fuck. Oh God. Yes! Daryl don't stop!" Aleigh practically yelled, managing to lift her upper body up as she dug her head harder into the pillows. Daryl had no intention of stopping, if anything, her desperate cries made him speed up. He closed his mouth around her again as his fingers continued pumping. The combined action was enough to finally send her tumbling over the edge, screaming his name and tightening her hand on his head to hold him in place.
He let his arms slide off and away from her body as he lazily lapped at her through her orgasm and recovery. Her fingers finally tugged at his head and he scooted upwards to look down at her red face.
"Oh my god" Aleigh gasped, that had been the most amazing orgasm in her life what Daryl had just given, fuck.
Daryl smirked down at her and then felt Aleigh push him so that he was on his back with Aleigh on top of him, licking her lips as she looked up and down at his long cock.
"Mmmm, yum" Aleigh purred, gripping his cock in her hand and stroked it.
Aleigh licked her lips, she could feel herself getting wet by just looking at Daryl's cock.
Without even hesitating, Aleigh put her mouth around his cock and sucked lightly, causing Daryl to swear.
"Fuck Aleigh, oh shit." Daryl grunted as he felt Aleigh take his cock into her mouth.
No other woman had done this to him, Daryl grabbed Aleigh's dark red locks, pulling on them roughly as he neared his orgasm.
Fuck.
"Oh shit, oh fuck, oh hell Aleigh" Daryl growled as he came and to his shock and secret pleasure Aleigh drunk all of his cum and grinned at him.
"You taste like the woods and Southern Comfort, cowboy delicious" Aleigh said licking her dark red lips.
Daryl smiled lightly at the memory of him and Aleigh sleeping together, had been pure pleasure, that hadn't been their first time either.
Daryl kept an eye out for walkers as Aleigh and Sophia walked alongside him.
"I can't wait to see my mom, Aleigh she'll like you" Sophia told Aleigh
excitedly.
Aleigh smiled fondly at the young girl, "I'm looking forward to meeting her
sweetie" She told her.
"We're there you two chatter boxes" Daryl said amused.
He stumbled out of the bushes and sighed, the farm now in front of him.
About damn time.
His eyes moved over to look at the barn, remembering what Aleigh had said.
"Daryl?" Rick's voice brought the hunter to attention as several of the men hurried over. He scoffed in recognition. He was thankful for being able to wash at the place that Aleigh had found. Probably would have looked near like a walker if he hadn't. He was in bad shape when the girls had found him. Thinking about them made him turn around and watch as Aleigh helped Sophia through the bushes.
"Sophia?" Glenn sounded surprised as he spotted the little blonde girl. Sophia ran around the two adults who had protected her over the night to give out hugs.
"You bringing in a stray?" Shane asked his eyes on Aleigh. The red head walked slowly to Daryl's side, hands resting on her hips just above the handles of her sais. "Who is she?"
"Where's the girl's mom?" Aleigh asked loudly, ignoring the looks she was getting. Her green eyes darted around, wondering if she could find someone that matched Sophia's description of her mother. The only short haired woman she could find didn't look old enough to be the girl's mom as she walked over to stand next to Glenn.
"You don't get to ask questions just yet." Shane pointed out arrogantly. Aleigh rolled her eyes and slowly turned them towards the man.
"She's Aleigh, she saved me, where's my mommy?" Sophia asked, looking around at everyone.
"How about you go hang out with Carl?" Rick suggested quickly, smiling down at the young girl. "He's missed you."
"Oh Carl! I nearly forgot about him!" Sophia announced, surprised. She took off towards the tents to find her friend.
"Well? The mom?" Aleigh asked, looking at Rick. Between him and Shane, the only two men who had talked, she definitely got a better vibe off of Rick.
"Carol was upset that none of us aside from Rick and Dale were concerned where you were Daryl or about Sophia, so she went the woods to look for Sophia by herself and she got bit by a walker" Rick said sadly.
Daryl blinked not sure that he'd heard right.
"Carol's dead?" he said feeling upset and pissed at the fact that in a sick way they had found Sophia, but Carol was dead.
This was fucked up.
"Someone needs to tell Sophia, Rick" Glenn said worriedly.
"I'll tell her, she trusts me" Aleigh offered.
Rick looked at her gratefully "Thank you, she's in the tent on the left with my son Carl and my wife Lori" he told her.
"Wait, you're letting her just waltz into the group like that?" Shane snarled, turning towards Rick with a frown.
"Sophia trusts her obviously and if Daryl's not threatened by her in anyway, the rest of us shouldn't be." Rick reasoned.
Aleigh nodded, shooting a triumphant look towards Shane, and walked towards the tent where she could see Sophia playing with a dark haired boy with a thin, brunette woman watching them.
"Sophia!" Aleigh called out and the young girl looked up at her, "I need to talk to you for a moment sweetie"
The young brunette, who Aleigh assumed was Rick's wife and Carl's mother walked towards her.
"Who the hell are you?" she snarled at Aleigh.
"I'm the one that saved that girl when apparently the rest of you just decided to sit back and wait, expecting her to find her way to some place that she had never been." Aleigh shot back.
"Excuse me?" Lori narrowed her eyes at the woman.
"You're excused." Aleigh stated simply and politely. She turned her attention to Sophia and crouched down. The little blonde moved toward her new friend, curious. "Sweetie...your mom tried to look for you."
"Is she still out there?" Sophia asked, suddenly very worried. "We have to go back out there and find her Aleigh!"
"No...Baby girl, we don't have to." Aleigh muttered softly. As realization dawned on her, Sophia's eyes welled up with tears, something Aleigh hated. She quickly stretched out an arm and the girl fell into her, hugging and crying.
"I can't believe you told her." Lori criticized.
"What was I supposed to do?" Aleigh asked, rubbing the girl's back. "Tell her that she's just always missing her mom somewhere in this set up you got going?" Lori didn't say anything to that but glared at the red head.
"Sophia...you can stay with us if you want to." Carl suggested, reaching out uncertainly and patting his friend on the back. He wasn't used to crying girls. He had seen his mother try to hide it a few times but a child his age crying, he didn't know what to do. "Right mom?"
"Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way." Lori agreed, giving Aleigh an almost challenging look. The red head went to stand but found herself still locked in the hug of the crying blonde girl.
"I don't want you to leave." Sophia whimpered. Aleigh sighed and lifted Sophia up. "Can I stay with you and Daryl?"
"Uh...yeah...I guess." Aleigh agreed. She wasn't sure what Daryl would think of that. Of course, she wasn't even sure if Daryl wanted her to stay where ever he was staying. She looked around, spotting him by a tent, putting his stuff away carefully. He was probably still sore and she didn't blame him, she'd have to change his bandages soon.
"I don't think..." Lori started but Aleigh was getting sick of the woman talking.
"Hey, I got an idea!" The red head announced excitedly. "How about we get the tent that you used to have and we'll move it over next to Daryl's. That way you can have a whole tent to yourself but we'll be right next door if you ever need something."
"Cool!" Sophia agreed, sniffing. Aleigh smiled brightly and put the girl down before taking her hand. Carl tagged along with them to help move the tent and Lori stayed back, just glaring.
Aleigh and Sophia were now moving their tent next to Daryl's with help from, Carl, Rick and the young Asian man who introduced himself as Glenn.
They moved their tent next to Daryl's and were now unpacking their things.
"This is my mom" Sophia said showing Aleigh a picture of a middle aged woman with a short grey pixie crop and kind blue eyes with her arms wrapped around Sophia.
"She's very pretty, Sophia" Aleigh said smiling at the young girl.
Sophia nodded in agreement and began sorting out their beds, while Aleigh unpacked their clothes when the flap opened.
"I don't think we've been introduced" a familiar voice said, and Aleigh turned around.
It was Shane.
My black eye casts no shadow
your red eye sees no pain
your slaps don't stick
your kicks don't hit
so we remain the same
blood sticks and
sweat drips
break the lock if it don't fit
a kick in the teeth is good for some
a kiss with a fist is better than none
a-woah a kiss with a fist is better than none
broke your jaw once before spilt your blood upon the
floor
you broke my leg in return
sit back and watch the bed burn
well love sticks sweat drips
break the lock if it don't fit
a kick in the teeth is good for some
a kiss with a fist is better than none
a-woah a kiss with a fist is better than none
you hit me once
i hit you back
you gave a kick
i gave a slap
you smashed a plate over my head
then i set fire to our bed
you hit me once
i hit you back
you gave a kick
i gave a slap
you smashed a plate over my head
then i set fire to our bed
