Chapter Twenty – Refused To Love

"Thought there was a walker in there at first, then I heard her uh… then you yelping her name." Michonne looked like she might laugh at any moment. "We have been looking for you."

"We have been attempting to make our way back to you, how did you get out here?" Daryl asked, still slightly irritated that the younger woman had ruined his mood, telling him she loved him.

"Followed the path made by a huge truck. Stumbled upon some dead mean in the woods, circled back to Jupiter, then followed tracks out here. I figured if you were alive you would be on the move. But I noticed tracks circling this area over and over again." Michonne smiled. "Her dad's with us. Funny you found her."

"Michonne, go on back home. We will follow tomorrow morning. We need to sort out some things." Daryl looked back at the cabin.

"Sure about that, or do you just want to fuck her some more?" Michonne looked hurt by something he didn't understand.

"Never felt anything like what I got for that girl." Daryl snarled. "You know that I don't love. Look at the way Rick looks at you, for love." He shoved her then, away from the cabin. "We will follow your path back, mark the trees or some shit, just fucking leave."

He didn't know what he wanted, how he could. He had never done relationships before. He refused to let someone love him. He had for so long.
