Venus With The Bow [Daryl Dixon f.f]

13/The Bar

I check Beth's pulse again,but she's not getting any better.her whole body's in shock after she saw her family dying in a wrong and horrific way cos of Shane..and i can't do anything without any medicines.she's so weak.

"How's she?"Maggie asks me and wipes her tears as soon as i walk into Hershel's room .i hug her.

"I'm so sorry for what happened."i whisper to her.

"It's not your fault,Ken."she hugs me tighter.

"She needs Hershel,it's her father who she needs not me worrying about not having enough medicines."i sigh. "I injected her sedative for now."

She nods her head. "He gotta be back."

"You have nay ideas where we can find Hershel?"dad asks Maggie.

"Guess he's in the drunk folks party."Shane says and points at the liquor bottle.Maggie sighs. "I think i know where he is."

She addresses a bar in the town and soon dad with Glenn gear up to leave.i gotta stay here with Beth in case she feels worse.

I check up o her then i try to find Carl.when he saw Sophia being a walker his tears made me break into pieces.he with his pure feeling inside of his little heart had hope to find the girl.

God knows how does Carol feel and i can say nothing can make her feel better.she just has to let the time heal her wound.though time can never heal mine..

"Buddy?"i say when j see Carl on the porch. "How you doing?"i ask him with a small smile.he leans his head on my shoulder.

"Sophia's dead."he whispers and i squeeze his tiny hands.

"Hey,i know wanted to find her.we all wanted to,she was a defenseless girl alone in the woods and it's..scary.it feels like hell,but this showed me that you gotta learn everything because i don't want you to be scared,i want you to protect yourself and you're the strongest angel i know."i say and he hugs me tight hiding his head in my neck.

"I love you,Kendall."he whispers and i smile. "Love u too,Carl."

I see Daryl walking over his own camp.he trued to protect me today after Shane got crazy.I don't know why,he's just..complicated.

"Stay in mom's sight,alright?"i tell Carl.

"Where you going?"he asks.

"I'll be around."

"You didn't show me how to be an archer."he says with a sad look and i kiss his head.

"I will."

I walk in Daryl's camp direction.i even don't know why i'm going to him.

"Hey."i say when i see him.he looks at me with questions.

"What ya doing here?"he asks.

"At least pretend to be nice."i roll my eyes.

"I'm here to get away from you people."

"Oh yeah?is that why you tried to protect me today?"i say and cross my arms over my chest.

"I forgot to mind my own shit in that moment."he says.every time i see him i wonder which version of him i gotta talk to..the grumpy Daryl or the one who acts sweet.

"Why do you even care why i'm alone in the woods?"i ask.

"I just wanted to help just like i tried to help that bitch to find her daughter!she couldn't protect her own kid ad now she's dead!just because..she couldn't take care of her!dammit.i ain't gonna give a damn to any of you!"he growls.
