Somebody To Die For
Chapter 15
Anna was in no mood to see Lori, or anyone associated with Woodbury. She stood up and picked Judith up into her arms. "We'll be in our cell until she's gone," she said quietly, as she headed out of the canteen.
"The hell does she want?" Merle growled as they rushed outside.
They all hurried outside to see Lori with a chained walker behind her; it didn't have any arms so it couldn't grab her as they reached her.
"RICK LET ME IN!" She yelled at them all as a walker made a move on her and she fired her handgun at it.
Oh, he would let her in alright, and he would rip her to shreds for what her little friends had done to Anna. Rick let out a growl as he opened the gate, and Lori hurried through. He roughly shoved her against the fence and pulled her gun away from her, along with her knife, tossing them at Merle, before he pushed her down roughly on the ground. "WHAT DO YOU WANT, LORI?" he snarled.
"I want to talk Rick, the Governor said that you killed five people from Woodbury and stole their supplies." She spluttered trying to get him off her wildly.
"Is that really what he said? That we started this?" He snarled at her as he pulled her up and slammed her against the wall.
"Or what Shane said after he raped Anna?"
"He did what?" Lori asked, her eyes widening. She loved Shane, why the hell would he be fucking Anna? "Shane did... what?"
"Don't pretend like you didn't know!" Rick growled. "You go back to Woodbury, and you tell that little friend of yours, Brian, that we're going to destroy him and his town. You tell Connor I'm going to rip him apart slowly, and you tell Shane I'm going to make sure he suffers for what he did!"
"Ya can tell Dave the next time he comes anywhere near Bailey and Aoife, I'm gonna fuckin shot an arrow in his eye then I'm gonna fuckin kill him slowly and then when he turns, I'll fuck him up before I kill him again permanently." Daryl snarled as he held Bailey and Aoife tightly to him.
"Please let's discuss like proper human beings, Woodbury is a good place." She pleaded with them as Anna came in with Carl and Judith.
"Woodbury used to be a good place," Phillip corrected her. "It's not anymore. Not since my brother ruined it. Now it's nothing but a horror."
"Is that my baby?" Lori asked as she took a step towards Anna and Judith.
"BACK OFF!" Anna roared as she glared at her with cold eyes. "Don't touch her. Don't come anywhere near her, don't come near any one of us."
"You don't have any right telling me what to do, that's my daughter and I'm taking her with me back to Shane." Lori snapped at her and tried to get Judith again.
Something in Anna snapped at hearing that, she gave Judith to Carol and smashed into Lori as the two women started to fight.
Rick panicked for a second, Anna was still hurt and he was scared she would open her wounds again, so he jumped in between the two women and gently backed Anna away from Lori. "It's OK, we'll sort this out, she's not going anywhere near Judith, OK?"
He turned to Lori with a murderous look on his face. "Go now! Tell Brian and his friends we're not interested in whatever they have to say, and this is war," he snarled, as Tyreese and Oscar came up behind Lori, ready to put her out if she didn't go voluntarily.
Lori huffed and strode back outside through the fence where she got into a blue Mercedes and drove off leaving them in the distance.
"I'm sorry about that." Anna said as she wiped her face with the back of her hand and Rick pulled her into him tightly.
"Don't be, we would have done the same thing," Lily said with a small smile as she looked down at Judith. "She's lucky to have you as a mother."
"Thank you." Anna said softly as they all sat in the cell block and looked at Tyresse as they all tried to plan to keep their safe haven.
"So are we fighting them?" Allen asked.
"If you mean are we fighting for the prison?" Tyreese asked as he looked around his group. "Then the answer is yes. You know how hard it was when we first came here; we worked hard for this place! I'm not going to just sit back while they terrorize our life."
"Do we have a plan?" Lee asked.
"We'll make sure everyone is on watch in the towers, go on runs in towns that aren't near Woodbury and make sure we have plenty of ammo." Tyresse said.
"I think we should leave." Allen said bravely.
"No, Allen, I told you, we fought for this place, and we're going to stay," Tyreese said firmly. The group was large. It would be hard to find anywhere else to house them all, not to mention Rick and his people had a hard time out on the road, he didn't want that for them too. "Maybe some of us could leave, and we could fight Woodbury. The rest stays at the prison. Once it's safe, they come back."
"That's a good idea; we could make traps and set them out for the Woodbury group to arrive and when they see we're all gone. We ambush them and take them all out." Bailey said as everyone stared at her in shock.
"That's a brilliant idea Bailey." Tyresse said impressed.
"Ya sure yer weren't in the army?" Daryl asked her with a smirk.
Bailey laughed quietly, as the group started making some plans for what kind of traps they could use. Michonne came up with the idea of something to burst the wheels of the trucks as they came through the gate, and Sasha suggested somehow they were led down into the tombs, where there were still walkers swarming around. Donna added that they could set off the alarm to attract more walkers to them, and someone could throw a smoke grenade, so they couldn't find a way out. Glenn and Maggie were going to put on the riot gear, and take them out with a sniper rifle, as a few others hid around the outside of the fence to take them out.
"I want to fight as well." Bailey told Daryl who looked at her worriedly.
"Ya sure?" He asked her as he held her close as they watched Aoife sleep in her bed, she was using Daryl's poncho as a blanket.
"I'm sure; I want to see Dave's face when he dies at our hands." She said firmly.
Daryl nodded. "Alright then."
"I want you to go with the others," Rick said firmly to Anna. "Not because I don't want you to fight, but because I don't want you to get hurt anymore. Judith needs you with her, and I need you to be OK for when I get back," he said softly. "I promise I'm going to get revenge for what they did to you, alright?"
"Alright, I love you and be careful?" She asked him softly, he was right in a way though, she couldn't push herself too far and her arms still hurt slightly.
"I will don't worry." He assured her softly as Carl came over with Judith.
"I'm staying too."
Rick looked at his son. He was old enough to make his own decisions by now, and he couldn't stop him. "Alright, Carl," he said with a small smile. "But you stay close to me, you hear? And don't do anything stupid either."
Carl nodded. "Sure, dad. I love you mom, Judith," he said as he hugged them both.
"We love you too, Carl." Anna said warmly as they held each other tightly and headed to prepare for the attack when Daryl led Bailey into the warden's office.
"Lot of things could go wrong with this." He said softly as Bailey curled into him.
"Even more things are going to go wrong if we don't do something about them," she said quietly, as they looked out some boxes. "Let's check what weapons we have."
Daryl nodded and they found eight sniper rifles, seven handguns, automatic weapons and CS triple chasers along with flash bang grenades.
"Not bad." He said as they carried the boxes out where they met the others who were waiting for them.
"What did you find?" Rick asked them.
"We got plenty," Daryl said as he set the boxes down in front of Rick and the others looked through them. "Should be something there for everyone who's fightin', plus we can use the grenades on them when they're in the tombs."
"Thanks guys." Tyresse said as everyone went off to do something with Daryl taking Bailey with him on watch.
Bailey sat in the watchtower with her legs dangling off the edge as they kept an eye out for any signs of trouble. "You think the Governor has a lot of men?" she asked distantly, as she prayed things would go OK when they attacked.
"Dunno," Daryl replied as he made some arrows for his crossbow. "Apart from Shane and Connor who seem to be his right hand men, I'd say maybe around twenty or so."
Bailey nodded and sighed. "Hopefully we can take them out easily enough."
"We will don't worry." He said confidently as they continued to keep watch over the yard and the fence where they saw Rick holding hands with Anna as they walked around the yard.
"I'm glad they're alright." Bailey said softly, she was glad Anna had Rick, Carl and Judith.
"So am I, he deserves it." Daryl said as he wrapped his arms around Bailey and she pushed herself into him as she kissed him hard on the mouth.
"I need ya," Daryl whispered into her ear, as he unbuttoned her shirt. "Incase something goes wrong, I gotta have ya," he said as he took her inside and lowered them down onto the floor. He kissed her gently, his hands running through her hair as she slid his t-shirt up and over his head, tracing her fingers over the scars on his chest.
Daryl looked down at her once she had no shirt on. She had knife marks all over her chest, not to mention the large bruise on her stomach. "Fuck, Bailey," he said quietly, as he gently ran his hands over the marks, making her wince when he touched her.
"It's OK, Daryl," she said with a sad smile, as she unbuttoned his jeans, and pulled them down his legs. She stroked him gently through his boxers, hearing him let out a small groan, as she left a trail of kisses over his cheek. She took off her own jeans, and shifted around, so that she was underneath Daryl. He propped himself up and took off her underwear, along with his boxers, as he positioned himself and slowly slid into her. She let out a small gasp when Daryl pushed down against her sore legs, but took a deep breath, as he began to thrust into her.
He wasn't slow, but he wasn't as rough as he sometimes was, as he thrust into her in a steady rhythm, letting out the occasional grunt. He buried his face into her neck and kissed gently, running his tongue along the skin there. She thought about how this could be their last time together, and tried to thrust her hips up into him, wanting him to enjoy it. Her body hurt after what Dave had done to her, but she bit down on her lip, determined not to let it show. Thankfully, she didn't have to wait much longer before she felt Daryl tense up above her, before he came with a growl, holding onto her hips tightly.
"Mine, mine, mine." He said holding onto her tightly as she kissed him lovingly on the lips and curled into him.
"All yours Daryl, I'm all yours." She said kissing him.
"Won't let anything happen to ya or Aoife as long as I'm around." He promised.
"I know you won't," she said as she stood up and got dressed. "Come on, we're supposed to be on watch."
He nodded and they both got dressed and continued to keep watch as the sun set in the distance.
"So what did Rick say?" Shane asked Lori as they sat in their house.
"That it was war," Lori muttered as she looked out the window into the town of Woodbury. "And that he was going to kill Brian, you and Connor for what you did to that little bitch."
"Ah well, we've got more men and more weapons than they have." He said smirking as they heard knocking on the door.
"Shane it's me Dave, listen Brian wants to get rid of the kids and dump them near the woods outside the prison."
"I ain't gonna stop him," Shane called back. "I'll be quite happy to get rid of 'em, ain't like they're any use around here, is it?"
"That's true." Dave said with a chuckle as he headed to where the large bus was filled with the kids and animals as he drove them all out of the town.
"Where are you taking us?" They asked scared.
"I want my mama." A little girl sobbed.
"Tough fuckin' luck," Dave snapped back as he tried to find a spot where he could leave them. "She's dead, all your parents are dead, you're not going to see them again," he said with a sinister smile. "You're lucky Brian didn't kill you all too."
The children started to cry then as Dave stopped driving where the group at the prison would see the kids as they got eaten by the walkers.
He walked out and opened the doors of a van where a herd of walkers swarmed out as he ran into his car and drove off as the children screamed in terror.
"HELP, PLEASE HELP US!" They screamed against the windows.
Bailey was sitting looking through the binoculars in the watchtower, when she spotted some walkers swarming around a vehicle. She frowned and looked closer before she noticed the small figures hitting the window. "You have got to be fucking kidding me!" she snapped, as she jumped up from her spot, and climbed down the watchtower, running as fast as she could with her sore legs out to the fence to where they were. She started to take out the surrounding walkers with her knife and scythe, as the kids watched terrified.
"Behind you!" One of them called out, and Bailey spun around just in time to take out one of them with her knife, plunging it straight into its eye. She kicked open the bus to the door and stood looking utterly confused at the six children, three dogs, and four cats. Like they didn't already have enough problems. "Where the hell did you all come from?"
"Dave drove us here and said that we were useless, that we were a burden." The boy said numbly and her heart broke slightly.
"Alright don't worry, I'm going to take ya'll back to the prison OK?" She asked as Daryl hurried over to her and froze at seeing the kids.
"What the hell?"
"Dave," she said simply, as she put her knife away, and walked back to the prison with the children behind her. The three dogs followed too, and the children had picked up the cats. Bailey frowned as she looked at them. They already had six children, two toddlers and a dog, and they were struggling as it was. They could barely look after themselves, never mind these too. She looked at Tyreese when they got inside. "We have some new arrivals. Shipped straight out of Woodbury," she said quietly.
Tyreese got up and looked at the children, three girls and three boys. "What are your names?" he asked quietly.
"My name is Sam Howard." A little boy blonde haired boy said quietly as he stroked his dog.
"This is my dog, Felix," Sam added as he looked at them all warily.
"My name is Katy Collins," a small girl with dark hair said quietly. "And this is my little sister, Emma," she added, as she pointed to a young girl beside her. Both of them were holding onto black cats. "These are our cats, Smokey and Monty."
"I'm Peter Harper." A dark haired boy said quietly as he held his dog tightly.
"This is Ghost." He added.
"I'm Rose," a little girl with red hair said quietly, as she stayed close to Katy and Emma. "These are my cats, Pebbles and Patch."
They all looked at the last little boy, who was standing with his dog. "What about you, son?" Hershel asked gently.
"Dylan Carlson, sir." He said numbly and slumped against the wall in defeat.
"You're going to kill us?"
"No, we're not going to kill you," Tyreese assured them. He looked down at the collar of the dog Dylan was holding onto, 'Ben'. He stroked the dog gently as he crouched down next to Dylan. "We want to help you."
"But Dave said..."
"Don't listen to what Dave says," Bailey cut in, giving him a sad smile. "Where are your parents?"
"They're all dead," Katy said sadly, as Charlie went over to sniff the other three dogs. "Brian thought they were sticking their noses into what he was doing, so he put them all in the arena and they got ate by walkers. They told us that we and our pets were burdens to them, so Dave drove us out here where he thought you would have seen us being killed. And we would have been if you didn't rescue us, Miss."
"Well don't you worry; we're not going to kick you out or anything." She assured him as Anna came over and the children looked at her in shock and sadness.
"That's Connor's girlfriend?" Sam said confused as he looked at the beautiful young, blonde haired woman who was holding a baby, beside her they saw a young boy around their age wearing a cowboy hat and a dark haired man beside them.
Tyreese shook his head. "No kids, that's Connor's sister, Anna." he said quietly, as Anna looked upset. "He's not a very good brother to her, he did bad things," he told them, and they nodded in slight confusion. "That is her husband Rick, and her children Carl and Judith."
"Oh," Sam said quietly, as he looked at her nervously. "I'm sorry, Mrs Anna."
"It's alright Sam, you didn't know." Anna comforted him with a gentle smile as Rick wrapped an arm around her tightly.
"That's Dave's ex wife." Rose said quietly as she looked at Bailey who was holding Aoife in her arms with Daryl beside them.
Katy and Emma both nodded. "We know," Katy said as she looked at Bailey nervously. "Dave has a picture of you in his room, we seen it when we were trying to find out what had happened to our parents."
Bailey swallowed. "Don't worry, he's not going to hurt any of you anymore, none of them are."
The children nodded, Carol and Brenda took them away to get cleaned up while the adults talked about what to do with the children.
"They can't stay here." Allen said firmly
"They can't be left on their own," Donna said as she narrowed her eyes at her husband. "Look at them, they're terrified. And the poor animals are starving."
"There's too much responsibility, we're struggling to look after us as it is," he said, trying to sound reasonable.
"Look, we need to take care of them, at least until after the war with Woodbury is over. They can go with the people who are leaving the prison while we fight," Tyreese said, knowing he wasn't going to be kicking them out anytime soon. "We have plenty of adults to watch out for them."
Allen didn't say anything but it was clear to everyone that he disagreed with Tyresse and scowled at them as he turned to look at Rick.
"So I guess you guys will be moving on after we've dealt with Woodbury?" He asked him calmly, he didn't trust Rick or his group.
Rick looked at them all. "We um... we haven't really decided what we're going to be doing as of yet. We'll deal with one thing at a time."
"Well just let us know." Allen said flatly.
"So when do you think they'll attack?" Axel asked as he sat near Carol and Sophia.
"Soon, probably," Carol said quietly, as she watched Sophia and Penny play with Charlie. "I don't expect they'll be the kind to sit around and wait long, or plan an attack. They'll probably just come in with all guns blazing."
Rick nodded. "Maybe everyone who's going should leave in the morning, better safe than sorry."
Everyone nodded and they continued to eat when they saw Dylan come over along with the other children, he handed Rick a bag that felt very heavy and looked inside.
It was a bag filled with guns and ammo.
"We have more in our bags." Emma said quietly.
"Wow, where did you get all this?" Rick asked impressed as he smiled at the children.
"Our mom's and dad's gave us them, told us to use them to protect ourselves before they got killed," Peter said quietly. "But we have all of you now."
"Not for long." Allen said as he headed outside to take watch with Oscar as everyone else headed into bed for the night.
Anna sat on the bed holding Judith in her arms as she thought of how this might be the last time she saw Rick, Carl, Daryl, Bailey, Merle, Beth and the others.
"Are you OK?" Rick asked softly as he got changed for bed and sat down beside her.
Anna gave him a small smile. "I'm just worried that someone's not going to make it out of this alive," she said quietly as she climbed into bed with Judith beside her. They didn't have a crib, so they had to try and find a way to keep her warm.
"We'll be fine don't worry; no one's going to die." Rick assured her as he curled into her and Judith as she cooed at them both softly.
"She's so tiny." He said quietly.
"But she's going to grow up big and strong, a Lil Asskicker, just like Daryl said," Anna said with a small smile, as she stroked Judith's hair softly.
Rick smiled at her as she bonded with Judith and he held them both tightly as he slowly fell asleep with his family.
Anna smiled, praying Rick and Carl would be OK, as she too fell asleep in his arms, with Judith snuggled into them both.
The next morning everyone was helping those who would leave the prison until they got rid of the Governor, Dave, Connor and Shane.
Bailey was packing Aoife's things when she saw a photo of her, Daryl and Aoife back at the farm as they smiled.
She looked at Aoife then; her daughter was eating breakfast on the bed, with most of it smeared over her face. She smiled at her lovingly as she sat down beside her. "Mama," Aoife cooed happily, clapping her hands together.
Bailey kissed her forehead gently. "That's right, sweetheart. You remember, no matter what happens, mommy and daddy love you."
"Me love you." She cooed as Bailey wiped her face gently with a wet wipe when Daryl came in and smiled softly.
"How are my two girls doing?" He asked kissing her lovingly on the face.
"We're doing good," she said softly as he sat down and cuddled them both tightly. "Just getting this little madam ready for going with Aunt Carol and Aunt Patricia."
"They'll take good care of her, don't ya worry." Daryl said holding them tightly as they finished packing her things and headed into the kitchen where the others were.
"Hey guys," Rick said with a small smile. "How are you doing this morning?"
"About as good as we can with an impending war," Daryl said with a quiet chuckle.
"Tell me about it." Rick said smiling faintly as they all headed outside to where the cars were along with a RV.
"Let's all say good bye everyone." Allen said flatly.
Everyone nodded as they started to say their goodbyes. "Take care, you two," Anna said softly as she hugged Rick and Carl while holding Judith tightly. I love you."
"We love you too, mom," Carl replied.
Rick nodded. "See you soon, Anna," he said as he kissed her gently.
She kissed him back and held them all tightly before getting into a car with Beth and Hershel and drove off as they watched.
Bailey and Daryl hugged Carol and Sophia tightly; they smiled when they saw her hug Axel who hugged her and Sophia.
"Take care of her, won't you?" Bailey asked Patricia softly, as she handed Aoife over to her and hugged them both.
"Of course I will, sweetheart," she said softly. "You be careful now."
"I will don't worry." Bailey said hugging her tightly as she watched them hug Daryl next and they drove off onto the road as the others watched.
"Let's get ready." Rick said softly.
"All the weapons are in the canteen, Maggie and Glenn have gone to get the riot gear," Tyreese told them. "Now it's just a case of waiting for the attack... so... yeah."
They all nodded and waited, soon they heard the sounds of tanks coming up the road and everyone hurried to get into position with Bailey by Daryl's side as one of the watch towers was blown up and half of the fence was pulled off.
"Holy shit." Daryl said stunned.
"I don't think we were prepared for this," she said as she gripped his hand tightly. "They have goddamn rocket launchers."
"Positions everyone, go, go, go!" Rick called out; as everyone went in their pairs to the spot they had been assigned to.
They went into their spot as they saw Glenn and Maggie throw flash bang grenades at the Woodbury soldiers and shoot them down as they fled the area when a herd of walkers swarmed out of the tombs.
"Alright let's move." Daryl told her softly.
Bailey nodded as she got out her gun and started firing at the Woodbury people who were coming out of the tombs, trying to dodge the bullets that were coming towards them.
"Let the walkers out, Kenny." Tyresse said to him quietly.
Kenny nodded and let the walkers out into the yard where the Woodbury men were. They were ones they had collected from the outside of the prison, because the walkers were starting to be much less of a problem than other living beings were becoming. Once the smoke started to disappear the men seemed to notice the walkers coming towards them, and ran from their cover, making it easy for Rick and the group to take them out, one by one.
"They're going down," Carl said happily to Rick. Rick nodded with a small smile and continued firing when he spotted Shane. He growled, and instead of aiming at Shane's head, he aimed for the knees. He fired one shot knocking him to the ground, unable to get up again. He wanted a little chat with Shane before he killed him.
"Keep an eye out for Connor," Rick told Carl.
Carl nodded and continued to shoot when he saw a man with short dark blonde hair running towards one of the cars and fired at him in the knees.
"I got him dad." He told Rick who smiled proudly at him.
"Well done son, well done." He said as they continued to shoot when they saw the Governor, Phillip shot him in the chest.
Daryl was firing at the last of the men when he saw Dave and fired an arrow in his left leg.
"Bingo," he said with a grin as he watched Dave fall to the floor, while Bailey smiled from beside him.
"We got 'em, guys," Tyreese said happily, as they started to come out from their cover.
They all headed to where the men were with Brian screaming at Phillip who remained calm and collected with Andrea by his side while Shane was snarling like an animal.
"You should know Rick, Anna did try and fight us off but we were just stronger than her in the end and she gave up." He gloated.
"You son of a bitch, Shane, I hope you burn in hell for what you did!" he snarled as he crouched down beside him and grabbed him by the collar. "I won Shane, ME! I have Anna, and I have the baby," he snapped. "You got nothing!" he growled, before taking his knife and plunging it deep into Shane's heart. "That was for Anna," he spat, before getting up and walking over to where Connor was.
"Oh here comes the big, bad sheriff." Connor drawled before Rick punched him in the face when he saw Carl shoot Shane in the head repeatedly.
"You're going to pay for what you've done!" He snarled at Connor as he and Daryl dragged the two men into a cell block and slowly started to torture them.
"My sister isn't worth this," Connor spat at Rick who had tied him up in one of the cells. "She's only going to leave you when she gets bored."
"Anna isn't anything like that, Connor." Rick said as he pulled out his knife and started to cut at Connor like he had done to Anna.
"Oh fuck that hurts, stop!" Connor yelled as blood poured down his arms and legs, Rick didn't answer him as he wanted Connor to hurt like Anna had hurt.
"Does it hurt yet?" He asked darkly to him.
"Yes it fucking hurts!" he growled as Rick slashed at his skin. "STOP!"
"Did you stop when Anna asked you too?" Rick snapped, pushing his knife in further. "NO! YOU DIDN'T!"
"PLEASE MAN STOP ALRIGHT, I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT HER!" Connor screamed as Rick slammed his knife into his left hand.
"You didn't mean to cut her, call her names, and rape her?" He asked mockingly and Connor shrank back in fear.
"I love her." He said defiantly.
"Bullshit!" Rick snapped angrily. "You don't beat, torture and rape someone you love!"
"What the fuck do you know about love? You fucking loved that whore Lori but she was fucking your best friend Shane through half of your marriage and after Carl was born. You don't love Anna, you can't she's too fucked up and damaged." He taunted him.
"You know what? I do love her! I'm going to marry her, and we're going to have a family," Rick growled, as he slashed Connor's chest. "You're the only one that no one loves."
"Fucking load of bullshit." He choked as Rick dragged him outside and waited for Daryl to come out with Dave.
Daryl punched Dave hard across the face as he glared at the man who had made Bailey's life a living hell.
Daryl circled around him like a shark. "How do ya like being at this end of the torture?!" Daryl snarled at him, as he kicked him in the stomach.
"OH FUCK ME THAT HURTS, PLEASE STOP!" Dave yelled out in pain as Daryl kicked him again in the chest.
"Hmm…. Let me think about that one," Daryl growled as he crouched down beside Dave and slashed a line down his arm. "HOW ABOUT NO! Did you think about how much it hurt when ya were doin' this to Bailey, huh?"
"SHE'S FUCKING USELESS, SHE CAN STILL HAVE KIDS BUT THE DOCTOR SAID THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE A COMPLICATED BIRTH, I DID HER A FUCKING FAVOUR!" Dave yelled before Daryl punched him across the face and dragged him out of the cell block into the courtyard where he saw Rick was with a chained Connor.
Daryl chained Dave up too, as Phillip came over looking a little sad, and a little relieved. "Brian is gone."
Rick nodded. "These two are next."
"We're leaving them out here for the night and tomorrow, they're dead." Daryl said coldly as he kicked Dave in the stomach as Bailey came over holding Aoife as the others got out of the cars.
"Are you alright?" She asked cupping his cheek.
"I'm good," he said, kissing her passionately in front of Dave who let out a small growl. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and kissed Aoife's cheek.
Bailey wiped at the blood on Daryl's forehead. "Come on, let's go and get you cleaned up," she said, as they went inside.
Anna came running over to Rick with Judith in her arms and hugged him and Carl tightly. "Thank God the two of you are OK!"
"We're alright, we're glad you two are alright." Rick said kissing her softly on the lips as they all headed inside to get cleaned up.
Anna got a flannel and started to wipe at Rick's bloody face along with Carl who both let her fuss over them while Judith played in her play pen with Aoife while the cats slept beside her.
"You two sure know how to get into a mess, don't you?" Anna chuckled at them as she cleaned them up and applied a little cream to Rick's cut hands.
"You love us," Rick grinned, as he relaxed under her touch, glad that Dave and Connor were finally going to get what was coming to them.
"Yes I do love ya'll and god help anyone who tries to hurt any of you." She said with a warm smile as she finished stitching up Carl's cut hand and ruffled his hair lovingly.
"Go shower and then I'll fix you up something." She said warmly and he hugged her tightly before going off into the shower room.
"You're hands are all fixed up." She told Rick as she kissed him.
"Thank you," Rick said softly as he pulled her into him and hugged her tightly. "No one's going to hurt you anymore, Anna," he promised.
She gave him a smile as she stroked his cheek. "I know, Rick, I know."
Daryl and Bailey smiled as they watched their friends; she took him by the hand as they headed into the shower room to get cleaned up.
"I know this sounds weird but I had a dream that we had a family." He told her softly as they got under the shower.
Bailey looked up at him with worried eyes "Daryl..." she began quietly as she washed his hair."You know we can't," she said quietly, as she worked the shampoo into his hair.
"I know," Daryl said with a soft sigh as he buried his face into her hair. "I'm sorry; I didn't mean to upset you."
"I know you didn't don't worry." She said softly as she stroked his wet hair and rinsed it from the shampoo as he started to wash her thick, dark brown, wavy hair.
"I love yer hair." He said softly as he combed it with an afro comb.
"It could probably do with being cut soon," she said with a small chuckle, as she thought about how much it had grown since back at Hershel's farm.
"I think everyone's could," Daryl laughed.
She smiled up at him as they washed themselves and turned off the shower before drying themselves and getting into fresh, clean clothes.
"I'm so glad he can't hurt us anymore." She said softly as they held hands and she picked up Aoife who cooed at them.
"Mama, dada," she cooed, as she cuddled into them happily, wrapping her small arms around them, as they headed down to the canteen.
"Hello sweetie, did you miss us?" Bailey asked her as they sat down beside Beth and Merle.
"Miss Mama, miss Dada," she cooed, trying to get her words out as Daryl and Bailey smiled at her. "Love mama, dada."
"We love you too, sweetheart," Bailey said softly, as Brenda came round with plates of dinner for everyone, who took them gratefully.
They all ate the food contently as they talked and relaxed now that their threat was gone and could live in peace.
"So I guess you'll be leaving now?" Allen asked Rick carefully.
Rick swallowed down a piece of his food. "I uh... I haven't really thought about it yet to be honest," he said quietly as he watched Allen carefully. He had a feeling Allen didn't like them being here. "Do you need us gone?" he asked Tyreese.
"I'd have to talk to my group about it to be honest." Tyresse said sighing, he liked Rick and his group, and they were decent people.
"Why don't we have a meeting?" Katjaa suggested she liked Rick and his group.
Tyreese nodded. "We'll discuss it after dinner," he said with a faint smile as they all began to eat.
Anna gave Rick a worried look. They had no threats if they were going to be out on the road now, but it still would have been nice to have a home, she was starting to like the prison after all.
Rick sensed her worry and rubbed her hand softly, she relaxed and smiled at him as they finished eating and headed into their cell block while Tyresse and his group had a meeting.
"Do yer thing they'll kick us out?" Merle asked wearily.
Rick shook his head. "I really don't know," he said quietly. "But if they do, I guess we'll just have to hit the road again. Hopefully with Brian and Shane gone we won't have any problems this time, so it should be OK."
Everyone nodded in understanding as they all sat down and waited for the meeting to finish.
"We can't keep them all here," Allen said firmly. "Not with all those extra kids that they brought in now too. They're all healthy people, there's no reason why they won't survive out on the road."
"What about the two babies?" Katjaa asked quietly. "Judith is a newborn, and Aoife is not even one yet."
"They'll be alright, we can't keep them here." He said firmly and everyone looked torn about what to do when Axel spoke confidently.
"I'll be leaving with them then." He said loudly as he headed out of the prison calmly.
"I'd like to go too," Oscar said as he gave Axel a small smile. "Ain't gonna leave my friend alone, because that ain't what people do anymore," he said, as he shook his head at Allen. "We're meant to look out for each other."
Allen shrugged. "Your choice. I'm going to tell them they can stay until the morning, and then they're gone."
No one said anything as they all watched Allen walk out of the room, they all felt ashamed and terribly guilty when they saw Tomas take some guns and ammo to Rick's group.
Allen reached the cell block as he saw Rick and Daryl get up and look at him with weary expressions on their faces.
"We're going to have to ask you to leave," Allen said firmly, as Rick and Daryl looked panicked. "You can stay until the morning. In the morning, I'd like you to get rid of your... prisoners... Before you go," he said as he gestured to where Dave and Connor were. "After that, we can't be of anymore help to you."
None of them spoke as they watched him leave and they all started to pack their things in silence when Hershel spoke.
"No one blames you, Rick." He assured the man gently.
