Father, Where did we go wrong? Daryl Dixon Fanfic

18. Work Together

You slept soundly that night, you were finally safe, you were positive you were safe. You smiled knowing that Negan had instantly gone to safe you, he hadn't waited, he had gone looking for you. Sent men to go searching for you, offered rewards. Daryl had done none of that. Daryl hadn't gone looking for you, not until he knew you were alive and well. That morning you snuck down to the jail cells, peeking through the cracks in the doors you found him.

"Daryl, I..I..I'm glad youre still alive, are you okay?"

"What are you doing here baby girl? It isn't safe, youve..ya gotta go, I..Negan. I hate him but he has raised you..better than I have.."

"I...alright..goodbye then." You snapped running off before he could say anything more. You felt tears running down your cheeks, was he giving up on you again? You ran into a man youd never met before on your way up. He looked you up and down.

"Going some where?"

"Yes now please get out of my way."

The man grabbed your shoulder quickly, it was firm, "Are you (Y/N)?"

"Yes now why?"

"Good..good. Come with me, I need to speak with you."

"I do-" Before you could finish his grip tightened.

"Now. Don't make me wait any longer."

You squinted your eyes, but you knew there was little you could do against a grown man without any weapons. He walked you out towards the back of the compound. "Who are you and what do you want?"

"I am a friend of Ricks. I was meant to be here to get intel on Negan, however, I was told if I saw you to bring you to him. Where is Daryl? Didn't he have you?"

"Youre not very good at this intel thing are you?" You asked furrowing your brow. "I am not going to go with you, because both of my dads are in this facility. I would appreciate it if you let me go however."

The man growled at you as you pulled from his grasp. "You can come with me the easy way or the hard way."

"No." You snapped back as you dodged his grasp, you ran past him, the man took off after you. You got to Daryls cell before he caught up to you. Your hand wrapped around the door handle. "Daddy daddy..please help me." You cried out as the man grabbed your waste.

Daryl sat up quickly. "Whats wrong! (Y/N) whats wrong!!"

"This man! Hes got me! Please!" You knew he couldn't help you with the door between you but at least he would know someone took you. You let out a cry as the man yanked you once more and dragged you off the door. "Daryl!!!" You screamed as he dragged you out. The cells were close to an exit very few people stood around.

The man dragged you towards a car. You fought against him before he slamned you into the back of the car, knocking your head against the door, you lost consciousness. When you woke you were chained in the back of a trailer. You quickly realized the man had lied to you at least in some level. He may have known Rick and been a part of Alexandria but he couldn't have been friends with them.

Soon the door to the trailer opened, you squinted shielding your eyes from the brightness of the sun.

"Who are you really?"

"I do know Rick, and Negan and Daryl. But I figure if I have you I have leverage don't I?" He smiled before slamming the door closed before you could respond.

You began to hyperventilate. Who was this man, what did he want with you and how did he know both of your dads and Rick?

-----------------

Negan walked into your room to once again find you gone.

Daryl was slamming his fists against the door and screaming for a guard or someone to let him out, he continued to scream your name as well. The other prisoners unsure if it was a nice new sound over the music above their head.

When the door opened he expected it to be a guard but it was rather Negan.

"Why are you screaming for her!" He snapped. "What do you know?"

"I heard her, she was trying to get into my cell, someone took her. She said a man had her. I think shes in danger."

Negan let out a round of swear words that would even make a sailor find deplorable. "I hate this, but I want your help. We need to find her together. For some reason she wont let me kill you, and if she was trying to get to you when something was going wrong there is clearly a bond even I cannot get in the middle of. I still think you are piece of shit dad and that she is my daughter, but I want your help to find her."

Daryl hesitated before nodding. "If its for her, I will do whatever you want."
