The French Girl

Hey, it's Monday! Ready for another chapter?! I am! Enjoy!

-O-

Shane and Rick were talking as Rick made his way up towards the group, and Shane was slightly pissed. "Why would you risk your life for some douche bag like Merle Dixon?" Shane asked, placing his hands on his hips.

"Hey! Watch whatcha say!" warned Daryl.

"I meant douche bag," Shane replied eyeing Daryl. "Merle Dixon— he wouldn't even give ya a drink of water if you were dying of thirst!"

Rick shook his head. "It doesn't matter, it matters what I do; me. We left him chained up like an animal and that is no way to die, no less a human." Rick said simply, causing Shane to shake his head at them, grumbling.

"So you and Daryl, that's your big plan?" Lori spoke up from beside the camper/SUV.

"Actually," Rick, Shane, Lori and Daryl looked over to find Antoinette dressed up and ready to kill some Walkers. She narrowed her blue eyes. "I'm going too. I'm going to save some ass, and they are going to need me anyway. Don't cha boys?"

Daryl narrowed his eyes. "Shut up."

"Would you rather me stay here?" Antoinette asked.

"No." Daryl replied stiffly.

Rick stared at Annie. "If you get somebody you trust, I want to bring somebody I trust." He turned and looked over at the petit man— Glenn.

"Oh come on!" Glenn whined, closing his eyes as he shook his head.

"You know the way and you've been there before." Rick said staring at the man who had helped save his life. "In and out, no problem. You said so yourself."

Glenn rubbed his head and grumbled still. Daryl moved a little closer to Annie as everybody slowly formed the group that would save Merle's ass. Antoinette looked over at Daryl who was now chewing his nail. "Nervous, non?" She asked him. He glared at her slightly. She laughed softly. "Come on; am I really that awful to stand with?" She asked.

Daryl was about to reply when Shane said, "That's just great! Now you're gonna risk three men, huh?!"

"Four," T-Dog spook up, which made Daryl huff.

Antoinette stood up. "I'm going as well. They need a woman to keep them in order, oui? Besides, that is four men and one woman."

Daryl rolled his eyes at her. "You really need to back the fuck off, woman."

"Oh my," Antoinette acted as if she was scared. "I'm so scared! Is the big ole redneck gonna beat me for saying something wrong? Oh so scared!"

He glared at her. She stuck her tongue out at him.

Then, it is decided that T-Dog, Rick, Glenn, Daryl and Antoinette would go. Everybody got ready well Antoinette sharpened her knife. "Are you doing this so people won't look at you as just a woman?" She looked up to find Pierre staring down at her. "Because then this is stupid— risking your life like this. What if you get bit?"

She sighed. "Pierre, I don't care. I think it's wrong how these guys treat the women, yes, but I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing it for Daryl. Why can't you understand that?" She slightly huffed. She put her knife away before getting up. "And get over yourself well I'm gone. Alright? I don't want to hear you complaining any longer! We have to risk our lives for the ones we care about!"

"Do you care about Merle Dixon?" Pierre asked sounding angry.

Antoinette rolled her eyes. "No, I do not cretin."

He glared and soon Annie turned to join the group in the car they were taking. She ended climbing into the back of the truck the guys had brought back. Daryl beeped the horn once she was inside, making Rick look over from Dale and Jim. "Come on! Let's go!" He shouted.

Antoinette looked at Daryl like he was half crazy. "Just draw the walkers closer, Daryl. Just what everybody needs, cretin." She hissed. He glared.

"Shut up Annie!"

"Why are you calling me Annie? Huh?" Annie asked, making Daryl narrow his eyes.

"I hear ya brother call ya that all the time. Why? Don' like it, lil bitch?" Daryl growled.

T-Dog and Rick walk over towards them, Rick holding metal cutters or something. Annie didn't get a good look because now her and Daryl are at each other's throats. "Rick," Shane said walking over.

Antoinette blocked it out because she was watching Daryl, closely. "What is your problem with me?" She finally asked.

"I don' got any problem with ya," Daryl replied with. "Jus' don' like waitin'. My brother's out there, alone, chained up. What if it was Pierre out there, eh?"

She fell quiet but still looked deadly. "I'd go to the ends of the earth to get my brother back, alright? Is that better?" She slightly snapped, "Porc!"

"Whatever ya callin' me a pig for, lil bitch?" Daryl snapped right back.

T-Dog stared as Antoinette then got right into Daryl's face. "I am not a bitch! You don't know half the stuff I've been through…! You…you… you redneck hillbilly jackass!"

He stared at her before pulling out his crossbow pointing it at her but Annie was quick too and then had her gun pointed on him. Rick and Shane stared at the two with their mouths hanging open. "Don' call me a redneck or a hillbilly or a jackass, lil bitch." Daryl growled.

"Then don't call me a bitch." Annie came back with.

He glared but soon backed off after Rick ordered them to stop. Glenn was already in the front of the truck so it was just Rick, Shane, T-Dog, Annie and Daryl. Shane said goodbye before leaving them well Rick went to take his sit in the front. Annie went to sit by herself on one side of the truck well Daryl sat on the other side, T-Dog more in the back.

Daryl closed the truck back, and together the tiny group took off.

-O-

The truck pulled up to a stop on the far outskirts of town, Annie stood up holding on her weapons. She had her bow and she had her guns along with her knives. T-Dog walked over towards her. "Damn girl, you are packin' heavy on the weapons!"

She looked at him with one of her eyebrows raised. Daryl stood up as well. "He better be okay," He spoke softly. "It's my only word on it."

"I told you! The geeks can't get to him." T-Dog spoke looking away from Antoinette. "The only thing that's gonna get us through the door is us."

Annie sighed softly.

Daryl opened the back of the truck, getting down by jumping. T-Dog does the same thing but then offered Annie his hand to get down. She narrowed her eyes as she jumped down like Daryl. "I am not some princess you know." She growled.

Antoinette went to follow Rick and Glenn, Daryl jogging after them and T-Dog slightly limping behind them, holding the tool Dale had allowed them to have. They went into the gates….

-O-

They jogged together, Antoinette staying towards the back to protect T-Dog who clearly had no weapon, and she made sure everybody was safe. Daryl was staying towards the front to make sure Glenn was leading them towards the right place…to Merle.

They paused at a hole in the fence to get into the city area. Antoinette looked around quickly, looking for walkers. "See any?" Rick asked her.

She glanced at him. "If I did, I wouldn't be talking. I'd shot them." She said calmly.

Rick went through the fence first, Daryl, T-Dog, Glenn and then Antoinette followed. "What ever happened to ladies first?" Glenn mumbled.

"World went to shit," She replied. "The gentlemen died."

"Merle first or guns?" Rick asked the small group.

"Merle!" said Daryl holding his crossbow up. "We ain't even havin' this conversation!"

"We are," Rick looked pretty pissed.

Antoinette walked over towards them as she rolled her eyes. "Who made you in charge, Rick?" He looked at her with shock written on his face. "Sure you're a cop, but nothing says you're in charge. Cops weren't even in charge of everything so why do you think you have to be in charge? You know the least about this world."

"I'm a sheriff." Rick explained or at least tried to.

Annie laughed. "And I was a nurse. Doesn't mean anything now, just a bag of shit."

"Wait….you were a nurse?" Rick looked shocked.

She nodded. "Yes sir, I was a nurse for 5 years and I was working on going back to school to become a doctor. Why? You don't think a woman could be a nurse? Connard!" she hissed.

They fell quiet. "So what's it going to be? Guns or Merle, Glenn since you know this the best, what should we grab first?" Rick asked, causing Daryl to snarl at him.

"Merle's closest. The guns would mean doubling back." Glenn explained, "Merle first."

The group began to jog towards the area they had left poor Merle Dixon to die.

-O-

Antoinette was in the back again, watching as Rick led the group into the store. They made it in pretty safely, and she took out a female walker that was close by and roaming around the store they had once been in. She stepped forward before shooting an arrow right through the creature's head. Blood flew everything before the creature fell to the ground, dead for real now.

Rick nodded to Glenn to show them where Merle was. They took off, Rick of course leading the way. It was nerve racking. Soon, T-Dog opened the door by cutting the chains and Daryl kicked open the door. "MERLE! MERLE!" he shouted.

They looked around the building top, Annie following behind them as Daryl raced forward to find his brother. Glenn, T-Dog and Rick gagged at what they found, making faces. Annie made her way over, still ready to fight and kill if need be.

"NO! NO!" Daryl cried out in pain, and it broke Antoinette's heart. "NO!"

The cries of Daryl Dixon broke everybody's hearts. Merle had gotten the saw and had cut off his head to get away from the geeks/walkers.

"NO! NO! NO!" Daryl yelled out to the world, mourning over his brother's hand.

-O-
