Chapter 14 part 3: The Devil in Human Form part 2
Kathryn groans as she opens her eyes, the so called tattoo artist had carved into both her arms.
The blood loss made her head spin and she couldn't focus.
She looked up to see the door open and close, Merle looks at the floor as he stands in front of it.
"Please, please I want to go home...please I want to see Daryl and my babies please." She pleads with him.
Merle sighs and walks up to her "I wish I could, but if I let you go the Gov will kill me."
Kathryn chuckles. "That's what he's calling himself these days?"
Merle nods. "Ya love my brother?"
Kathryn nods, her eyes droop in exhaustion. "With all my heart."
"What about my brother, he love you?" He asks.
Kathryn nods again. "Yes or else he wouldn't have married me."
Merle sighs and before he can speak He walks in. "Merle leave us, I have unfinished business with her."
Merle nods. "Yeah I got some unfinished business with the Asian kid anyway."
As the door closes, Kathryn struggles as He walks up to her.
"You ready to co-operate now pet?" He asks leaning into her.
Kathryn glares. "You can go to hell!" She yells.
He grabs her arms tightly earning her a scream of agony.
"Then we have one last game don't we? If you don't submit to me, well I'll just move onto your friends." He backs away taking his belt off and unzips his pants.
Kathryn's eyes go wide as she struggles in the chair.
He cuts her pants and shirt off, he then cuts into her skin.
"You belong to me! No one else!" He yells, as she screams in pain.
He then pushed himself into her; Kathryn screams more as he took her.
She wanted to die and she felt like she was. Kathryn had to be strong, she wanted to see Daryl even if it was one last time.

Kathryn cries after He finishes, he had left saying he was going to deal with the other girl.
Kathryn screams and cries struggling. "You bastered! You fucking basterd!"
She sobs and cries, trying to get ou,t but she knew it was worthless.
Kathryn felt tired and exhausted. "Daryl...Daryl I'm sorry, I'm soo sorry."
Some men came in untying her and dragging her out of the room.
She had no fight left, her feet dragged on the floor as her head lolled to the side.
They opened the door and tossed her into another room.
She heard screaming and running footsteps.
"Kat oh god no no...Glenn what do we do?"
Kathryn opens her eyes and looks up at her friends, her family.
"Hey you two, long time no see." Kathryn chokes out.
Both Glenn and Maggie chuckle, Maggie wipes her tear stained eyes.
Glenn looks around and points to a blanket on the far side of the room.
"Get that Maggie and see if you can find some clean rags." Maggie nods.
She runs across the room grabbing what they need, Maggie wraps Kathryn's right arm while Glenn wraps her left.
Kathryn whimpers in pain when the finish, Glenn holds her up as Maggie wraps her up in the blanket to hide her nakedness.
They lean her against a wall; Kathryn hugs the blanket around herself.
"We're going to get you out Kat, we're going to get you back to Daryl."
Kathryn nods slowly as Glenn walks over to a dead walker in the middle of the room.
He breaks off the walkers arm and digs the bones out.
Maggie helps Kathryn up and nods at her, Kathryn looks at her sister and nods back.
The door opens, Glenn and Maggie run out attacking.
Merle fights Glenn off, but Maggie kills the guard with the walker bone.
Merle slams Glenn to the ground and holds the knife to Glen's throat.
Maggie grabs a gun and points it at Merle's head but two other guards come out of nowhere.
Kathryn whimpers as one man grabs her arm, the blanket falls.
They pull her back in back in the room forcing her on her knees along with Glen and Maggie.
Kathryn looks down when they put a sac over her head; they bind her hands behind her back.
"So this is it? I'm going to die? I'm sorry Daryl I'm sorry." She thinks to herself as they force her off the floor.
As they walk out of the room a loud bang comes from besids her forcing her off her feet.
She feels a hand grab her aching arm, and the bag is pulled from her face.
Shots fire at them as she runs with them, whoever them was.
She wanted to rest but she was forced to keep running until they entered a building.
She stumbles and falls to her knees crying, what she didn't expect was two pairs of arms to wrap around her waist.
"I got ya darlin I got ya, yer safe now Kat." She turns seeing the man she had hoped to.
"Daryl! Oh god! Daryl!" She wraps her arms around his neck sobbing into his shoulder.
He picks her up bridle style, her head leans against his shoulder.
"Ain't no way out back here!" He yells to whom she assumes was Rick.
Maggie asks how he found them, Daryl grabs an afghan blanket from a nearby couch and wraps her in it.
"Can ya walk darlin, I need to help Rick?" He asks, Kathryn looks up at him as Maggie walks over to them. "I'll take her she'll be fine."
Daryl looks at her and nods. "Stay safe, I love you." He kisses her forehead and runs to Rick.
Glenn tells Daryl about Merle kidnapping them, torturing them.
Daryl looks at his wife. "So, my brother this Governor guy?"
Kathryn shakes her head as she bursts out crying again.
Maggie shakes her head telling him it's someone else, Kathryn looks up at him.
"The Governor is...he's my old Master...from before I met you." She sobs out holding the blanket close to her.
Daryl walks over to her hugging his wife to him. "Yer safe now ain't no one gonna touch ya promise." He whispers, he closes his eyes.
Daryl stops when Rick says they need to get out. "I need to talk to my brother."
Rick shakes his head. "Not now, we're in hostile territory we need to get them out."
"But my brother, if I talk to him maybe we can work something out." He pleads as he moves from foot to foot.
"Daryl please...we need you hun...I wanna go home." Daryl looks back at her then Rick. "Ok, ok let's go." He mumbles.
Rick opens the door and Daryl throws a smoke bomb in the middle of the street.
They all rush out and all hell breaks look, Maggie grabs Kathryn's hand to keep hold of her.
Daryl yells at Rick as Maggie yells at Kathryn to keep her head down.
Rick yells to take cover under a building; Kathryn clings to the blanket tightly. All she wanted was to go home.
Daryl tells them to go, that he would lay down cover fire.
Kathryn shakes her head. "No Daryl, no please we have to stay together!"
Maggie agrees as she shoots at some of the men.
Daryl assures them he would be right behind them; he kisses Kathryn and jumps out throwing a smoke bomb.
Maggie grabs Kathryn's hand and runs toward a bus, one of the prisoners from their home helps Glenn up.
He gets shot, both Glen and Maggie are yelling, Kathryn looks around for Daryl but she can't see him.
Maggie helps Kathryn climb the bus as she climbs up as well.
"Daryl! Daryl come on!" She yells over the gun fire.
As they get over the wall Kathryn falls to the ground, her eyes seem to become unfocused.
She feels two arms and thinks it's Daryl as she is lifted up bridle style, everything starts to go dark.
WD~WD~WD~WD
Kathryn wakes up leaned against the side of a SUV, Glenn kneeling beside her trying to take care of her arms.
"Where's Daryl?" She asks as she looks around.
Glenn looks up at her. "He got captured; Rick and Maggie went to get him."
She nods laying her head back praying her husband would make it out.
She looks up seeing an African American woman with a Katana standing beside them.
"Who are you?" She whispers hoarsely, the woman looks down. "Michonne."
Kathryn nods "Kathryn Dixon nice to meet you." Michonne nods at her.
They all stand when they hear yelling, Glenn sees them through the trees.
Kathryn runs to her husband, he pulls her to him. "Oh thank God you're ok." She whispers.
She then pulls away and smacks his chest. "Don't ever do that again!" He grabs her wrists saying he was sorry.
She apologizes, saying she wasn't going to leave the prison again.
Merle watches as they make their way back to the car.
Glenn and Michonne freak out because Merle was behind them, Daryl and Rick try to calm them down.
Glenn holds a gun at Daryl both husband and wife yelling at him to lower the gun.
"Looks like you gone native littl' brother." Daryl turns and glares at him. "Yeah, no more then you hanging out with that psycho!"
Merle stands from leaning against a tree, Daryl pulls Kathryn back. "Yeah, he's a charmer, been putin the wood to your girlfriend Andrea there. Then there's Daryl's wife over there. How ya like it Darlin?"
Kathryn rips herself out of Daryl's grip. "Fuck you!" She yells.
Daryl yells for him to shut up, as he makes more comments.
Glenn, Rick, and Kathryn were stunned Andrea is alive?
Merle made more comments, Daryl yells at him to shut up when Rick ends up knocking him out.
Daryl turns Kathryn around. "Ya ok? What did he do to ya?"
Kathryn looks down. "Merle nothing...he wanted to help but...He would have killed us."
Daryl raises an eyebrow. "He?" Kathryn nods as Maggie says the Governor.
Daryl sighs and pulls her to him, hugging her close.
Everyone started debating on whether or not to bring Merle into the fold.
Glenn and Maggie are against it, but Kathryn stayed true to her husband.
He was right, they need Merle. "He knows how the Governor thinks. Daryl says he even has military training. We need that!"
Rick seems to agree with Glenn and Maggie "SO what? Yer gonna cut Merle loose and bring back the last samurai home with us?"
Rick shook his head. "She's not comin back neither."
Maggie and Glenn wanted Michonne to go back with them, saying she led Rick and Daryl to them.
Kathryn shook her head. "No, no this isn't right. Merle is family we don't know anything about her." She hisses at them.
Daryl nods. "Merle's blood." Glenn shakes his head "No, no he's your blood; my family is standing right here, waiting for me back at the prison."
Rick agrees, saying that Kathryn and Daryl are part of that family.
"Sure doesn't feel like." She mumbles, looking at the ground. Daryl looks at her as he tights his arm around her waist.
Fine Merle and I we'll fend for ourselves, Kathryn raises her head and looks up at him.
"What no! Guys come on let's just bring Merle back please!" She tried pleading with them.
Glenn tries to stop him. "No that's not what we're saying."
"No him no me, Kat I want ya and the kids safe stay with'em." Kathryn's eyes widen as she turns and grabs his vest.
"Daryl please no, no don't go, please." She buries her face in his chest.
Maggie nods. "You don't have to do this."
Daryl wraps and arm around Kathryn's shoulder. "It was always Merle and me before this."
Kathryn sobs as Maggie and Glenn try to stop him.
Kathryn knew it was inevitable, that he was going to leave.
She wasn't ready to let go. "What about the children...Jasmine...what am I to say?"
He looks down at her. "Tell her I love her, the kids, and ya...tell'em the truth."
She nods as she hugs her husband one last time. "I love you Daryl Dixon...I love you so damn much!"
He tilts her head and kisses her deeply and passionately, knowing it was their last.
"Love ya to Kathryn Dixon, so damn much." He whispers.
She helps Daryl pack what he and Merle would need as Rick tried to plead with him.
Kathryn walks away and up to Merle. "Take care of him...please." She looks at the floor shuffling her bare feet.
Merle nods looking uncomfortable as she walks away.
Daryl grabs Kathryn's shoulders and kisses her one last time.
She tries to hold onto him, but he breaks away and whispers he loves her in her ear.
That's when Kathryn broke, her anger bringing up whatever hurt she was feeling.
She looks at her so called family, how she wanted to kill them, make them hurt like she was hurting.
Rick tries to talk to her but she ignores him climbing into the SUV.
