Chapter 6: The Beginning of the End.
Eva stood behind the bar, there was probably four people not including her and her boss.
She watched as a man runs in yelling, "It's here, the virus…it's here! Someone just bit me!"
Her eyes widen and jump as the bar phone goes off she answers it. "Eva, its Daryl. Where ya at darlin? Uncle Jessie and I are comin for ya."
"At the bar Daryl, what's going on? A man runs in..." The line cuts out and she tries again getting nothing.
She runs out grabbing her bag, pistol and Arizona. Eva barricades them in the bar.
Oh god, this wasn't happening, all she wanted was to go home and be with Daryl.
She looks over at the bar patron's tending to the injured man, Arizona eyes them carefully.
Eva would go home but she didn't want to take the chance Daryl would come here.
She watches out the door, people running and screaming through town.
Merle and his gang pulling up on their bikes, she knew this was gunna get ugly fast.
The older Dixon barges his way in. "Merle what's going on? Have you seen Daryl? He called me but then the lines went dead" ,she asks him.
Merle looks at her, "Naw, haven't seen him yet sugar."

Hell seem to break loose in the bar, the man that got bit had died and come back starting to bite people.
Eva hid behind the bar with Arizona; she had her arms wrapped around his neck.
Merle had abandoned her some time ago; she had to kill everyone in the bar.
She heard the door bang open "Eva! Eva, come on darlin answer me."
Daryl! Oh god she thought she never hear his voice again. "Here! I'm behind the bar with Arizona!"
She slowly stands; Daryl's heart felt like it dislodged itself from his throat.
He went around wrapping his arms around her waist she buries her face in his chest.
"I was so scared, a guy came in he was bit. He died and came back...Merle's gang had showed up before that...but Merle abandoned me here." Daryl wrapped an arm around her shoulder and turned to Arizona he whistles.
The malamute grabs the bag the couple forgot and followed after.
Daryl raised his crossbow ready for any geek to come near them, Uncle Jessie was standing by his truck with a shot gun in hand.
He smiles at Eva, "Hello sweetheart, my yer glowin, sorry to have run late like we did." He says by way of greeting.
Eva smiles at the elderly man, they had met before and he was nice to her.
"Come on gotta git out'o here, we need to find Merle." Daryl says from the passenger's side.
Nodding, all four hopped in the truck as Daryl threw Eva's bag in the back.
Eva sits between Jessie and Daryl, Daryl takes her hand as he drives through the mess of traffic and dead people.
Tears flow down Eva's face, her hand on her stomach. She was in fear for her child how could this happen?
She wipes her face, mama bear kicking into overload; this was a time to be strong not scared.
Daryl and Jessie were here, Arizona was here she could be strong.

They stopped outside a small town, Daryl had spotted Merle's Triumph sitting outside the town.
As they stepped out they heard gun blasts. "Sounds like someone is either in trouble or having fun."
Daryl nods, "Want ya to stay with Uncle Jessie ya understand?"
Eva nods as Daryl takes out one of his hunting knives. "Keep that with ya."
"I will just come back to us safe." He nods, kissing the top of her head before leaving them.
She paces waiting for what seemed like an hour, she could tell Uncle Jessie wasn't looking good.
"Your bit aren't you?" Jessie looks up and nods, "Ya by Daryl's father. He got bit during the huntin' trip, I ended up killin him but not before he bit me."
Eva nods, "I know I'm gunna turn into one of them, if Daryl can't put me down. I want ya to ok darlin?"
Eva sighs, "Ok, I will, don't worry." He nods.
An hour later Daryl and Merle came back, by this Jessie was looking worse than he was before.
"Daryl, he's not going to last. That bite, he's going to die babe." Daryl looks from her to Jessie.
He nods sighing as Merle walks up to them looking drunk and sun withered.
"Do you want me to do it?" Daryl looks at her, "Naw, I got it take Merle to the truck he's high, drunk, and the sun got to him. He's been on the roof."
She nods, sighing; Eva turns to Merle and walks him to the truck. "Come on Merle let's get you in the shade."
Merle turns and pushes her, "Get the hell of me bitch!"
Eva falls on her butt as Arizona barks from the truck, she shakes her head. "It's not the time for you to be a jackass Merle, come on."
He grumbles and nods, they both climb in when Daryl comes back by himself.
Daryl slides in and turns to look at her; He grabs her left hand and slips a ring on her finger.
"Wanted to propose when I came back, but would ya marry me Eva Brown?" He looks in her eyes desperate.
Eva lunges at him hugging Daryl's neck. "Yes I will, I love you Daryl Dixon." She whispers in his ear.
He smiles and kisses her softly before starting up the truck.
Eva looks on the other side of her at Merle who was passed out in the passenger seat.
