Protective

One

Damian saw Harley talking to Carol as they walked together. Ever since the world ended, Damian has been overprotective of his sister, but it wasn't just him. It was Daryl. Harley went walking as people were greeting their loved ones. She knew that tomorrow, Daryl was going to be pissed because his brother was left behind. "Harley!" She heard her name.

"Coming." She replies as she walked away.

Daryl walked out of hiding to see Harley. He made sure she got back to camp safely. Damian sighed as he hugged her. "You do know we might need you to speak to Daryl about his brother."

"Why me?" She asked.

Damian just walked away with a smile as Harley looked at him strangely.
~~~
The next day, Daryl could be heard causing Damian to walk with his sister. "Daryl." He looked at her. "They left Merle in the city."

Daryl looked at Rick with a glare. Harley didn't budge as he yelled at them for leaving his brother. "Daryl." Damian said gaining his attention. "We will go and find him. I would do that if that was Harley."

Daryl looked at Damian then to Harley. She watched as they made a deal causing Harley to look at her brother. "Please don't." She said. "It's too dangerous for you to be gone."

"I said I will help." He tells her. "You'll be safe."

Harley looked back at Daryl before she walked away. She went back to her tent and pulled out her knife as she started sharpening it.
~~~
The next day, Damian hugged his sister. "Stay with Carol. I can't have you getting harmed."

"I know." She tells him.

Damian kissed her head as he walked away. Harley grabbed Daryl's arm. "Please bring him back safely."

Daryl nodded as he walked to the car. He looked back at Harley as she started to gather the laundry. She was here and safe. That's all that matters.
~~~
While they were gone, Harley would help the women in the group or she would teach Carl and Sophia things. There were times she would go by herself to relax, but the feeling of being watched had her going back to camp. Harley now is sitting by the water handing the dirty ones over. "Harley?" She looked at Carol. "Your brother is safe."

"I know, but...I can't help, but worry." She tells her. "It's nice not worrying about him fussing over your safety, but it does get lonely when he isn't around." Harley looked out towards the water. "I just hope they get big mouth and get back here safely."

Carol smiled as she grabbed her hand. "Get back to work."

"You're not the boss." Harley tells him. "You can't tell us or Carol what to do."

"Let's go, Carol."

Harley stood up just as Carol did. "Why? So she can come back later with fresh bruises."

Harley watched as he went to hit Carol causing Harley to shove him away. Ed went off and punched Harley causing her to fall back into Amy's arms. Shane watched causing him to beat Ed up. Harley looked at them as Carol went to her husband crying.

That night, Harley was sitting at her tent waiting for her brother. She looked towards the others and sighed. She heard a scream causing her to look up to see Amy getting bit by a walker. She stood up and saw more walkers. She stabbed a walker in the head. "Harley!" She heard Damian, but she didn't turn around till an arrow went through one's head.

Harley looked to see Daryl. He nodded at her as she continued to kill the walkers. When they killed all the walkers. Harley hugged her brother. "I'm okay."

"I know." He tells her.

Harley looked at Daryl to see him watching her and her brother. She smiled at him as he walked to his tent. Tomorrow was going to be a long day for the group. To many lives lost.
