Sam's P.O.V
I woke up the next morning with arms around the cell and I'm laying under a blanket on a cot, I could feel someone's breath on my bare shoulder, I turned my head to see a sleeping Daryl Dixon. His bare skin touching mine, last night was the best night of my life. Daryl wasn't like my boyfriend that I was last with, Daryl was different from all of them, he made me forget everything that happened to me and just live in the moment.
I slowly turned to face him and I ran my hand through his brown hair, which made him open his bright blue eyes as I had a small smile on my face and I leaned over to softly kiss him, " Morning." I whispered to him.
" Morning." Daryl said as he looked at me.
" You're so cute when you sleep." I said as I kissed him again.
" There ain't nothing cute about me." Daryl said as he started to stretch out his body. I sat up very quickly and then I placed both of my legs between his waist and I sat down right on top of him with the blanket wrapped around my waist.
" Do you think that I care if you're cute or not? Daryl, you made me the happiest person in the world. You made me feel things that I never felt before. And I thank you for that." I said as I leaned my head down towards him and I kissed him right on the lips and then I sat back up and got off of him and that was when I got off the cot and I dropped the blanket that was around my body and I started to get dressed for the day. I grabbed my pants and I placed them on, once I had them buttoned I felt a pair of hands around my waist and I turned my head with a smile on my face.
" What is it?" I asked as I looked at Daryl.
" Nothin'. I just wanted to hold you." Daryl said as he kissed my neck, which sent chills down my spin. I then turned to face him once he stopped kissing and that was when he attacked my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he bent down and picked me up off the floor as I wrapped my legs around his waist as he pinned me against the wall as our lips fought against each other for dominance. As things started to heat up, I felt one of his hands trying to undo my pants to take them off till we heard someone yell, " Sam, Daryl. Are you guys up yet?"
We stopped in our tracks and I heard Daryl growl under his breath as he buried his head into my shoulder, " Yea, we're up!" I yelled back.
" Well get decent cause Rick wants the both of you. You're on watch!" The person said after they chuckled and that was when I immediately knew who it was.
" I swear to fucking christ, I'm going to kill him one of these days." Daryl said as I chuckled at him as he placed me back down on the ground.
" Now, just cause you're sexually aggravated doesn't mean you can go kill my best friend." I said as I hugged him around his waist. He growled and then I let him go and we got completely dressed and we made our way downstairs. I looked over to see Carl as he turned his head towards me and ran over and gave me a big smile as me and Daryl entered the cafeteria. I looked around to see that both Maggie and Beth were nowhere to be seen, which told me that they were with their father. Lori was eating with Carol. T-Dog was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and he turned his head to us and smirked at me.
I just shook my head as I turned my head to see both Glenn and Dad coming through a door and Glenn immediately left to Maggie's side while Dad walked over to us. He nodded at Daryl before looking over at me, " Sam, you got a moment?" Dad asked me and I nodded my head to him and made me wonder what it could be. Dad looked over at Daryl, " You good keep watch a little bit by yourself?" Dad asked him.
" Yea." Daryl said as he nodded his head to him and then he came over to me and gave me and gave me a kiss on the forehead, then he walked towards the door outside.
I looked back at Dad as he nodded his head to me and he took the lead and I followed right behind him. I was starting to get nervous as we got outside on the bridge that was caged, 'What would be so important that he needed to talk to me alone? Is it about me and Daryl? Did he find my step father?' I thought as if my heart was going 90 to nothing. He stopped walking and we both looked over the field. We were silent even longer as I grabbed the fence.
" I heard what you did for Hershel." Dad said as he turned his head to look over at me. I looked towards him quickly and then I averted my eyes away from him.
" I wasn't going to lose someone else." I said as I kept my eyes away from him.
" That is true, but if you weren't there, Herschel wouldn't have made it." Dad said as he continued to look at me.
" But Dad, you were the one who cut off his leg, you were the one who saved him." I said as I finally turned to look at him.
" One of these days, you're going to take a compliment from me or anyone." Dad said as he shook his head and chuckled.
" I'm very proud of you, Sam. You've grown so much. You're so much stronger than you were long ago. You have impacted more lives than I could ever have." Dad said as he placed his hand on my shoulder.
" The problem with everything you're saying is the little girl you saw long ago is still here." I said as I looked away from him and then leaned my head against the fence as I looked out towards the forest.
" What do you mean by that, Sam?" Dad asked as he turned fully towards me.
" She's still here. She's just hiding right now." I said as I turned my head to him.
" You're not that little girl anymore." Dad said as I leaned off the fence to turn to him.
" She's still her cause, I saw him here. Still alive, now he is out there somewhere inside me. What if he comes back here? What if gets me and tries to finish off what he tried to do a long time ago?" I asked him as tears started to fill my eyes.
" I will not let that happen to you. If he comes back here, I won't hesitate to kill him. I promise you." Dad said as he walked over to me and pulled me to me and held me close as my tears started to go down my face. He held me for a while till my tears stopped going down my face and he released me and I whipped the tears off my face.
" Let's get back inside. Oh, by the way. I love the shirt. I just remember that there are kids here." Dad said as he passed me to go back inside while he chuckled. My face turned red from embarrassment, as I made my way into the main room, I was passing Hershel's room and I looked inside to see Maggie sitting there with her father.
She turned her head to see me and she waved her hand to me to come in. As I came in she got up from her seat and came over to me and hugged me, " Thank you so much." Maggie said as she held me tighter and I hugged her back.
" You're so welcome, Maggie. He saved my life, it was the least I could do for him." I said as I let go of her and she looked down at my shirt.
" Nice shirt, Sam. Is it Daryl's?" Maggie asked as she had a smirk on her face.
I looked away from her while crossing my arms, " Yes it is. By the way, is Daryl still on watch?" I asked her as I looked for him.
" I saw him come back in before Rick came back. I saw him walk through that door before you walked in." Maggie said as she pointed towards the door.
" Thanks." I said as I left the cell and went towards the door. As I opened the door, I pulled out my knife just in case of any walkers since we really haven't been through this area yet and then I walked through the door. As I was walking down the hallway I heard a door creak open and I turned towards the noise getting ready to stab anything that could come from that door.
" Daryl, is that you?" I whispered as I waited for him to answer me back but there was no response. I took a deep breath and continued down the hallway.
" Daryl?" I called him again and still no answer. Not long after I found myself in another open area that looked like another cafetera.
' Where could he be? Maybe he's back with the others already and I missed him. I should head back to be sure.' I thought as I turned around to head back the way I came from til I felt two pairs of arms grab me. I dropped my knife on the ground and was about to scream til one hand turned me around and put me against the wall and the other hand was over my mouth. I was shaking tremendously and I was trying to calm my breathing when my eyes landed on bright blue eyes.
" You should never just bring your knife down here." Daryl said as he removed his hand from my mouth.
" I was looking for yo…" I started to say til Daryl landed his lips on mine and started to kiss me. Within seconds, the kiss got so heated that his hands started to roam my body and I wrapped my arms around his neck as he stopped kissing me and going for my neck and started sucking on it. My Dad's words echoed in my mind and I tried to keep as quiet as possible with my moans.
" Let it out girl, there is no one here to hear ya." Daryl whispered as he continued to suck on my neck.
Once he said these words, I was at his mercy. He came back to my lips and we both fought for dominance and I was losing this fight. He pressed me harder against the wall with his body and started to unbutton the shirt that I was wearing, which was his, to suddenly stop when we both heard a door slam shut behind us. We both quickly jumped apart and Daryl turned his head to see someone standing there and he grabbed me and pulled me behind him, " Who the hell are you?" Daryl asked as he looked at the person that was in the shadows that stood in front of us.
" Hey man, calm down. Did I interrupt something?" The voice said which made my hair stand on edge when I recognized the voice immediately.
" You best get out of here before things get bad." Daryl growled as I grabbed his shirt with my shaking hands and I leaned my head against his back as I shut my eyes trying to calm down.
" I do believe I was here first, so I don't have to go anywhere. If you wouldn't mind, I would like a turn with that sweetness when you're done." A male voice said which made me shake even more and made me grip Daryl tighter, which I felt Daryl look towards me.
Daryl looked back at the man in front of him as he kept me behind him as both men started to get into a screaming match. I had a feeling their voices would be heard from the others and not within seconds, I could hear steps coming our way and the door was opened. I looked over Daryl's shoulder to see T-Dog, Glenn and Dad standing right behind the man.
Dad looked at the man and then pointed his gun at the man, " I told you that if I ever saw you again, I would kill you where you stand Steven." Dad said as he glared at Steven as he just chuckled under his breath.
" Well, if it isn't good for nothing Rick Grimes. Long time no see, huh?" Steven asked as he turned to look at Dad. All dad did was glare at him.
My whole body froze when my dad said Steven's name, ' I thought Daryl told me that he ran off? Why would he come back unless…' I thought as I moved from behind Daryl to see Steven standing right in front of me and my whole body shook uncontrollably when his eyes landed on mine.
" Well, well. Look at what we got here." Steven said as his face had a smirk on his face.
I couldn't move my body no matter what I did or how many times I told it to move, it wouldn't move. All I could do was stare at him like he was a ghost. Daryl came over to me and lifted my chin to make me look at him as tears fell down from my face.
" He won't even get close to you, I promise you." Daryl said to me and all I could do was nodded my head to him as he looked right back at Steven.
" Come on, Sam. How about you come over here and give your old man a hug." Steven said with an evil smile on his face.
3rd person P.O.V.
When he said that Sam didn't even move a muscle and all Steven did was just laugh at her. The woman that she became went down the drain, just vanished. She was once again the little girl that she tried so hard to hide deep down inside her for so long.
Daryl clenched his fist so tight that they became white as he glared at Steven, ' That son of a bitch came back after he left. This man who ruined Sam's life made the wrong choice of coming back and he is just inches from me.' Daryl thought as his whole body shook in anger.
Daryl was trying to fight every urge in his body to not beat this to death. When Steven noticed that Sam wasn't going to move, he dropped his arms to his side and looked at his step daughter up and down, " Damn Sam, look at you. All grown up, why don't you turn around for me, so I can get a good look at you." Steven said as he moved his finger in a circle.
Daryl could see Sam shaking from the corner of his eye. He wanted to put an end to Steven and be over with it, but he didn't want to put Sam in danger.
" Steven….You need to stop right now." Rick said in a growling tone of voice.
" Why is it that every time I speak to my step daughter, you seem to but in no matter what I do?" Steven asked as he looked at the man that put him behind bars.
" I think it's time for you to leave, right now." Rick said.
" I don't see why I need to, since you put me in here in the first place! And it looks like Sam doesn't want me to leave either. Isn't that right, sweety?" Steven asked Sam as he looked at her, waiting for her to answer him.
Sam flinched when she heard him speak to her. All she wanted to do was run or do something, but her body wouldn't even move.
" Things aren't the same anymore, you need to leave, and this is the last time I'm going to be telling you." Rick said sternly as he reached for his pistol.
" Okay, okay. Don't want any trouble now. I'll be leaving, but Sam's coming with me." Steven said as he turned to look at his Step daughter.
" Sam, come here now." Steven said as he raised his hand and snapped his fingers at her. Then fear took over her and she started to move towards him only for Daryl to grab ahold of her arm and pulled her back and hid her behind him protectively.
" She ain't goin' nowhere with you." Daryl said as he snapped at him. Sam was coming to her senses and she grabbed onto Daryl's arm while her other hand reached for his gun. She was just waiting for the right moment to end this.
"Look at what we got here. The little bitch has a boy toy now." Steven said as he glared at Daryl.
" What did you just say?" Daryl asked as just charged at Steven, which gave Sam the moment to pull the gun from Daryl and hid it in her pants and both T-Dog and Glenn ran over to him and stopped him in his tracks.
" Daryl stop!" Rick yelled as he ran over to him as well.
" Hey dude, shouldn't you be nice to me since you're with my step daughter?" Steven asked him with a smirk on his face.
Daryl felt like he was about to charge at him again, but Rick stepped right in front of him and placed his hand on his shoulder, " Daryl, you need to take Sam back to the others now." Rick said sternly as Daryl snapped his head towards him. Giving him a ' Are you serious' look on his face. Until he turned his head to look over at Sam, who wasn't the same woman he woke up with, it looked like she was a little girl again and he didn't like seeing her like this. So he took a deep breath and turned to look back at Rick and he nodded his head to him.
He turned and walked over to Sam and placed his arm around Sam's waist and looked over at Steven glared at him one last time and he started to lead Sam out of the room, when Steven called out to Daryl, " Hey, Daryl." Daryl then turned to look at him.
" If we meet again and she gives you any trouble. Just bring her my way. I'll make sure to teach her to mind her man." Steven said and that was the last straw for Sam, she got away from Daryl's arm and went straight towards Steven and she punched him right in the face, which made him fall to the ground and she wasn't even finished with him yet. She got right on top of him and started to beat his face.
Once she was satisfied with what she did to his face, she took a deep breath and just looked over at him as he laid there, " You have no idea of how long I wanted to do that to you, for beating me, hurting me for everything that you did to me for some many years. And something inside of me told me to beat the living shit out of you, and for once it felt so good." Sam said as tears started to go down her face.
Then she was knocked off and was on the ground. As she tried to get up, Steven got right on top of her and wrapped his hands around her neck and started to choke her. That was when both Rick and Daryl ran over to help Sam. Daryl got his arm around Steven's neck, which made Steven released his grip around Sam's neck and Rick picked her up off the ground and held her close to him.
" You keep your filthy hands off of her, ya hear me?" Daryl hissed as he pushed Steven to the ground and he got up and he walked over to Sam.
As he placed his hand on her shoulder, she let go of Rick and looked up at him, " You okay, Sam?" Daryl asked her as he looked at her
Sam nodded her head till she noticed movement on the corner of her eye and she turned her head to see Steven coming towards Daryl with her knife in his hand. On instinct she pulled out a gun that she was hiding and she pulled the trigger and shot Steven right in the head and then Steven's body dropped to the ground.
Both Daryl and Rick turned to look over at her as tears started to go down her face again and she dropped to her knees. Daryl knelt down next to her and placed his hand on her and got a good look at the gun then looked over at Rick, " That's my gun." Daryl said as he looked back to Daryl.
" I…I did it." Sam said as they turned to look back at her. Rick walked over to her and knelt down in front of her and placed his finger under her chin and lifted her head up to look at him.
" Sam." Was all Rick could say to her til she started to cry a little bit harder and she lunged at him and grabbed onto him tightly as she started to cry even harder and he just wrapped his arms around her and held her close as she cried her eyes out.
After some time went by Sam had stopped crying and Rick looked down at her and noticed that she fell asleep in his arms. He looked back over at Daryl and Rick moved over to him and handed Sam over to him and Daryl picked her up in his arms bridal style and walked back to the others.
Rick looked back over at Steven's dead body as both Glenn and T-Dog were waiting for him to walk back with them, " I hope you rot in hell for everything you've done." Rick said as he headed back towards the door with Glenn and T-Dog following right behind him.
End Of Chapter
