Venus With The Bow [Daryl Dixon f.f]

17/The Scene

I hug my knees and stare at Dale's grave.I remember his hand shaking in mine and the way he looked at us all.damn,the sound of gunshot still echoes through my brain.

"I disappointed him."Glenn says and sits right next to me.

I look at him.he stares at Dale's grave with the saddest look i've even seen on his face.i know what does he mean,it comes to the Randall thing.

I put my hand on his shoulder. "No,you didn't."

He shakes his head and takes off his hat. "I was just scared if anything goes wrong.i did disappointed him and i never got the chance to explain him why."

"Hey,he knows that.he could see everything and i know that he saw the reason of this,too.i didn't know him as long as you did,but it was enough to say this."

"This is what i was afraid of,Kendall."he looks at me. "Death.and it happened."he huffs and hugs his knees tighter.

"People die even if they deserve to live a longer better life."i say and remember everything i've lost till here.
Lana,Jonas,Arial,Lexi,Martin..Dale.when i'll be able to get over all of these screams and tears?

"I guess i'll never be able to get get these memories out of my head."i say.

"We can't forget."he says. "But we'll move on by honoring the people we've lost in our beating hearts."

His words put a smile kn my lips.i stand up so does he. "We'll honor you in our beating hearts by keeping the right justice alive,by keeping the right people alive..just they way you wanted."I say and Glenn smiles at me.

"The way you wanted."he repeats me and i return back his smile.

We start walking away with our hands in our pockets.the wind blows,the leaves dance in the wind and the clouds cover the glory of the sun like it's a secret that has to be kept.

"It's good that Hershel let us in the house."Glenn says.

"Mhmm.he's helped us a lot."

He nods. "How's your wound?"

"I gotta get it cleaned.thanks for asking."i say with a smile and he returns it back to me.

"All right,let's move the vehicles near each of the doors facing out toward the road.we'll build a lookout in the windmill,another in the barn loft.that should give us sight-lines.both sides of the property."dad says and the pauses looking at T-dog. "T,you take the perimeter around the house.keep track of everyone coming and going."

"What about the standing guard?"i ask and place my bow over my shoulder.

"I need you and Daryl on a double duty."he says and gives me a worried look. "If only you can handle it."

"You got it,sheriff."i say and he lets out a solent laugh.

"Gotcha."Daryl says.

"Kendall."dad calls me.

"Everything okay?"i ask him.

"I want you and Daryl take Randall away.someone gotta stay here and.."he sighs then glances over Shane.

"He can't be trusted anymore,i know that."

He looks at me. "I don't want you to be dealing with him,okay?i got it."

"Whatever needs to be done,needs to be done."i give him a pat on his shoulder. "By the way,that coat really fits you."i wink and he chuckles.

I walk to mom and Carl. "Wow!mom,look at her bow!"Carl says causing me and mom to laugh.i hug him tight and leave a kiss on his head.
