Together Forever.

Bad news

Pdv Kira :

My father opened his mouth to say something but we were interrupted by high-pitched cries... Children's cries. Carl...

Carl: KIRA! MOM !

I run as fast as possible out of breath. I feel my muscles ease when I see Carl running in my direction. I receive it.

Me: Carl is staying with mom.

I run into the forest take out my shuriken and stop a prowler is eating a deer. The guys join me 5 seconds after me, well, you'll have to do it faster next time.

Me: Guys mostly hit the head....

I can't even finish my sentence who are going after the prowler...

Me: Uh guys?

Shane: Leave it to the men.

Me: Ok.... *joking

Dale: This is the first we've seen one around here.

Jim: In town they don't have enough to eat. So they move.

The cracking of bits of wood interrupts it. Daryl comes out of the woods, crossbow in hand.

Daryl: Oh damn the bastard! He was for me this deer! Ah great he started to gnaw it! DISGUSTING FUCKERS! FILLED WITH SLUT! KIND OF ERROR OF NATURE! DIRTY BASTARD GO!

Dale: Come on, calm down, it's useless my little guy.

Daryl: What do you know the vic. Go back and play at the lake house with your stupid hat on. I tracked that deer for miles. I tried to bring him closer to the camp. We would have roasted his flesh, it would have been a feast. Believe that we can cut off this part and eat the rest.

Me: Nah, risk too much.

He shakes his head at me. Wowww wait, he's not bugging me? Mark that on the calendar!

Daryl: Well I have a dozen or so squirrels. We will have to do well with .

He leaves for the camp. The moment I dreaded the most.

Daryl: MERLE  ! Merle ! GET YOUR SHITTY ASS BACK QUICK! I CATCHED SQUIRRELS! I roast them.

I sit next to my father. It's good here we are...

Shane: Daryl. Wait 2 seconds I need to talk to you.

Daryl: What are you talking to me about?

Shane: De Merle there was a problem in Atlanta...

He gives me a puzzled look, I nod my head at him to make him understand to listen to Shane.

Daryl: He's dead?...

Shane: We don't really know...

Daryl: We don't know really ?!

I glance at my father. He has to intervene, Shane is beating too much around the bush. My dad nods and steps in front of Daryl. That's what I like about my dad, he understands me in one look.

Rick: Well let's stop beating around the bush so I'm going to say it.

Daryl: Who are you?!

Rick: Rick...Rick Grimes.

Daryl: Rick Grimes! Well, go ahead, listen, since you had something to say to me!

Rick: Your brother was a threat to all of us, I had to tie him to a building roof with my handcuffs in downtown Atlanta, he's probably still there.

Oh I didn't think who was going to be so direct, I almost regret having asked him to intervene.

Daryl: Wait! Give me time to process the info! YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT YOU HANDCUFFED MY BROTHER LIKE A POOR SHIT AND LEFT HIM ABOUT!

Rick: Yeah...

As soon as he answers Daryl throws his squirrels over my father and rushes at him. Shane intercepts him by knocking him to the ground with his shoulder. Daryl tries to pull out his knife and stab my dad. But he and Shane both manage to grab her arm. Shane gives him an armbar to immobilize him while my father is crouched down talking to him. It's good men they always want to negotiate, talk..

I don't move. In fact I expected this reaction from Daryl which is normal. But I know that my uncle and my father manage and that I don't need to intervene.

Rick: Daryl I would like both of us to discuss calmly. Do you think you can do that? Do you believe you can do this?

Shane lets go while Daryl mumbles. My dad talks to him but I know Daryl isn't listening.

Daryl: ALL GO TO HELL! But first tell me where he is, I'll bring him back here!

Me: I'm coming with you. Without Merle I would never be here.

Daryl gives me a nod. I smile at him. Merle had already saved me from a prowler. I was close to being eaten but Merle managed to kill him in time. I owe him a big debt.

Lori: Rick is going to come with you, that's what you said, right?

Rick: Well well I'm going back.

Me and Daryl go watch the fire where the squirrels cook while Shane and my dad talk.

Shane: Tell me why. Why would you risk your life for a shitbag like Dixon.

Daryl was about to jump in but I cut him off.

Me: And watch out ah what you say it saved my life.

I take care more of the conversation and get into the truck.

Shane: Well ok 3 of our men and my niece are going to risk their necks.

Tdog: 4

Daryl: We will all have seen.

Carl runs towards me with tears in his eyes. I hate to see him like this, it's horrible.

Carl: I don't want you to leave...

Me: Sweetie I'll always come back I'll always be there with you okay?

Carl: Alright...I love you big sister.

Me: I love you too, little prince.

He walks away into my mother's arms as Daryl closes the truck.
