Daryl Dixon x Male!OC

chapter 1

-Austin pov-
"sorry man wish this wasn't our world"i stab the groaner on the  tracks but turn around quickly as i see 3 people 1 being a baby and get ready to run but the lady speaks "we won't hurt you, we're heading to terminus i suppose you are too, right?" i say nothing "we could use extra help if this place isn't what it seems" the man says "okay" is all i say
-hours later-
i've learned there names Ty, Carol and the child's name Judith, sweet little thing, i haven't spoke much but i've told them what i need to. Carol says once we get there she'll make sure Judith and Ty are safe but she's not staying i have no clue why she wouldn't stay but i don't ask, we see a "walker" as they call it and i kill it but as soon as i do i see a horde coming our way and whisper yell to carol and ty "hide Judith" *gun shots* the horde stats towards the sound
"once it clears we head east" this is the most i've said the whole time we've been together.
-cut scene-
Carol holds a man at gun point "we're friends with the kid in the hat and the one with the sword".
me and carol spread guts on us to mask our sent. smart women. when we approach terminus we see 4 men on the ground and one being dragged away Carol informs me that they are her friends well were before she was exiled, "propane tank." i whisper and point, she sets up a fire work to shoot at the propane tank and blows it up. we walk in with the walkers shooting a few people as we go, we get into this room full of (now dead) peoples stuff and carol grabs a watch and a crossbow, why only these two things? i don't know but they must be from her friends. "drop your weapons and turn around! i wanna see your face" Carol and i stop in our tracks. Carol drops the bow and as she's about to drop the rifle she quickly turns and shots but missed the woman i pick up the cross bow but carol yells "go! help them! i got this!" "please don't die!" i say and with much hesitation i run, "Rick!" i yell and a man turns to me ready to shoot "how do you know my name!" "Carol" is all i need to say for him to lower his weapon "now let's go find your people there's not much time!" i run off an they follow "i believe this is one of yours?" i say lifting the crossbow off my shoulder and a man in a vest eyes it before taking it from me "thanks." his voice suits him well, we all start running to a train cart and Rick opens the door and yells, i can't make out what he says, but soon we're all up and over the fence running through the woods "wait what about Carol, i can't just leave her there" i say looking back the direction we came daryl speaks up saying "she'll be fine she been through worse" soon they start arguing about if we should go back and make sure they're all dead or get the hell outta here but i see someone walking up "Carol!!" i whisper yell and run to her as dose daryl but i don't care much because i grew close to the woman and thought she was dead of course i'm gonna hug her, i feel another set of arms around us but i pay no mind, after she hugs rick she says "you have to come with me" and we're led back to the shack where we left Judith and Ty. they all reunite it's sweet but short because we need to get the hell outta here. as we walk Rick the supposed leader ask me 3 simple questions
"how many walkers have u killed"
"i don't keep track"
"how many people have u killed"
"as of to day 27 but before that just 1"
"why"
"y'all needed the help, right?"
