The Hunter's Angel

Chapter 10

Seaira's POV

I look at Daryl, "Carols missing, I bet I know where she is, I'll go get her and be right back." He says, adjusting his crossbow bout to turn around. I grab his arm. "Your never gonna tell me, are you?" I ask him. He gets close to me; he looks at the Church making sure its jus us to. He puts his free hand on my cheek, "I'll be right back, the first thin' I do is tell you, I promise." He looks into my eyes, the moonlight making our eyes shine.  

I put my hand on Daryl's hand that's on my cheek. "Daryl," I start but he pulls me into a quick hug. "I promise, I'll be right back Lil bit." He promises with his husky voice. He lets go and disappears into the tree line. I'm so confused, I start to go after him, but Sasha comes outside. 

"Have you seen Bob?" She asks. "No, I was just with Daryl, but he said Carols missing, but he went to go get her." I explain, "Imma go find him." She says readying her rifle. "Let me go with you." I start to say. "No, tell Rick where I'm at, I'll be back."  She disappears into a different direction than Daryl went. I quickly go inside and find Rick.

I quickly explain to him what happened. "Stay here, keep an eye on Gabriel, I'll explain later, Keep Carl and Judith safe, I'm taking Ty with me. "Okay be safe." I tell him and they dash out the door. I go to Gabe; he looks more nervous than I've ever seen him. "I don't know what to think of you, but if anything happens to these people, I will be the first to stomp your ass do you understand Father?" I say getting worked up since things went out of hand so fast.

He nods quickly. I sigh and go to Carl that's holding Jud. My head starts to spin at all my questions I have for Daryl. He is a confusing person and I just want to know what is going through his mind. I want to ask Rick what he is going to do, about Gabe. My anxiety gets the better of me, battling my thoughts.

About an hour later Sasha comes in the door with Rick and Ty behind her. She goes up to Father and asks what he's doing. She's blaming him for the people that are out there. He says he doesn't know what she was talking about. 

She draws a knife on him, and everyone tells her to stop. Abe holds Rosita back. "Whose out there? where are our people?" She asks getting in his face. He keeps stuttering he has nothing to do with what's going on and has his hand in front of him, trying to shield himself. She starts to yell at him. I go up till I'm behind her, making sure nothing gets out of hand. 

I grab her hand gently and pull her back to me, Rick getting in front of us. "Why'd you bring us here?" Rick asks lowly. Father of course, stutters, trying to defend himself. "You working with someone?" Rick gets closer. He repeats he is alone. Rick starts questioning him, being the sheriff, he used to be. He keeps pushing questions back after back, he gets antsy and grabs Gabriel's jacket and pin him against the table. 

"What did you do? What did you do?!" He yells, pushing him away and I put a hand on Ricks shoulder. Gabe breaks down, repeating he locks the doors at night, he locked people out when things got bad in the beginning, hearing their screams. I shook my head in aversion. How could he? I understand your scared, but there were children, others scared as well. 

He said he buried them, crying, curling in on himself. Rick just stared at him, letting him spill the beans. "The Lord sent you here to punish me," He sank to the floor, "I'm damned." He cries. "I was damned before; I always lock the doors." He breathes fast and unsteady. "Pathetic." I sigh.

We start to hear faint whispers outside. I turn to see Glenn check the windows. "There's someone outside lying in the grass." Sasha runs to the door. She runs down the stairs and yells Bob's name, I see there is walkers around us. "Get him inside we'll take care of them." Glenn says. I get next to him taking out the dead as they get Bob inside.
