Mine

10

You drove covered in blood. You were ahead of the boys driving as fast as you can, your mind going places.
You ended up taking another person to the farm. Your mind couldn't get over the fact that they had left him to die. They weren't his people, they never cared for him. But you know Shane is gonna be a problem once you get back and bring the kid back.
Before you knew it you made it to the farm. The house came to view, but you went past it. You all decided it would be best to go to the farm. Parking right in front of the barn you got out of the car, you opened the barn doors.

"Y/n, what the hell is going on?" Shane asked "What the hell happened?"

You didn't answer as the truck made it to you, running over you unhooked the trunk. Rick was right beside you. They dropped Herschel at the house so he could get what he needed. Everyone was staring at you all, but it didn't matter. You, Rick, and Glenn took the boy into the barn, Herschel was by you all in a second, he brought Patricia with him.

"Everyone out, we have this." Herschel said.

You all walk out the barn. Rick leaned on the barn, Glenn sat on the truck bed, and you took the hood of your car.

"Rick what the hell is going on!" Shane yelled "Y/n is covered in blood, you all drove in here like fast and furious, and now Herschel is in the barn doing god knows what."

"We got shot at, the same people that shot at us left their own behind to die. So we brought him back, we weren't gonna let him die." Glenn said.

"Well look at you, got some balls on you now." Shane said "But I asked Rick, not you."

"Who gives a fuck who tells it. We were there, not you. Can't rely on one person if you have three who can tell you." You said "I'm taking a bath."
____________________________________________________________________________

You scrubbed all the blood off of your body and hair. You just sat in the tub, replaying what happened.
The door opened, Daryl walked in. You smiled at him. He sat in front of the tub, looking at you.

"I heard what happened." Daryl said "Y'a alright."

"I guess." You said "There were these two guys, one of them wrapped an arm around me and the other was behind the bar. The guy asked, if you would be willing to share me."

You didn't need to know what he was thinking, much less his expression.

"Rick killed them both."

Daryl pulled you into a hug, letting go he took off his own close and gotten in with you.

"You didn't do a good job on your hair." Daryl said washing it.
____________________________________________________________________________

You and Daryl slept in the tent. Herschel had forgiven your people, but not Shane. He talked about bringing everyone in the house starting tomorrow. But what you couldn't understand was, what's gonna happen to the kid. There would be only two ways this could go down and you knew that.
So by morning you wanted to find Rick and figure this out. You ran into Lori who looked like she was gonna be sick.

"Lori, you alright?" You asked.

"I'll be fine." Lori said "It hopefully won't last long."

"Lori, are you pregnant?" You asked, Lori nodded "It's Shane?"

"Doesn't matter, It's Ricks. It will be Rick's no matter what." Lori said "Have you thought about having kids with Daryl?"

"Yea, Daryl definitely does. I just know he's also scared to be a dad, like I'm scared to be a mom. We don't want to be like our parents, but now this world has gone to shit." You said.

"No matter what, you're gonna be a great mom. I see it. I also believe even in this world, your baby is in good hands, even mine." Lori said "Just think about what I said, also Rick's over by the barn."

You thanked her as you left.
Flashback

It was times like this you wish you never were born. You had to leave your dad, your mom had won full custody of you. So you had to move to a new town just outside of Atlanta.
But it was one particular day that you remember mostly. Your mom was on a bender, she also had her boyfriend at the time.

Your door had been kicked in, waking you from your sleep. Brad walked in, he unbuckled his belt. You didn't know what would happen, you just watched as he took off his belt. You were in middle school at the time, around 7th. You had also been friends with Daryl for about a year. Brad made his way to your bed, he yanked the covers off of you and pulled you up.

"You know, you've been a very bad girl. I'm so sick and tired of hearing your mother whine because of it." Brad said, making you go on your stomach pinning you "Bad kids, get punished."

You screamed as the belt came down on your back. You had never felt pain like now. Your back felt like it was on fire, as it was being cut open over and over again. He left you on the floor bleeding on it. Your white shirt looked like it was from a horror movie. Your door was closed and locked, but your window wasn't. You didn't even know someone had entered until they touched you. You jumped up, even though you're in pain, you put your back straight to the wall. You saw Daryl Dixon, right in your room. His hands up.

"Hey, it's alright. I ain't gonna hurt ya." Daryl said "I heard screaming, wanted to check on ya"

You didn't say anything as he made it to you, hands cupping your face. You broke right then and there. You wrapped your arms around his neck, crying into it. He was gonna hug back, until he felt your back. He looked at the blood on his hand, then the wall.
That night he knew how much you meant to him.
Now
It all came spiraling down, Shane and Rick tried to take Randell out of the farm. It didn't work, a herd had come through. When they got back Shane was insistent to put a bullet into his head.
You watch as Daryl beat the kid, trying to get him to talk.

"C'mon kid, just spill everything. Tell us about your people and this will be over with." You said.

"Why can't you kill me?" Randell said.

"We can kill you either way, this way you have more time." you said.

Randell spilled everything. It made your stomach sick to hear everything, you really did feel like you had to puke.
That night we had to decide what to do. Voting on either killing him or letting go. You didn't know which one you wanted. Dale had gone to everyone today begging to let the kid live. Now is the time to figure out what you wanted. You knew it didn't matter though, in the end he's gonna die.

"Are you gonna watch as he dies, no. You're gonna stay here and pretend like it's not happening, well I'm not." Dale walked to Daryl "This group is broken."

We watched as he left, Daryl and I didn't want to be a part of this, so we left. We took a walk.

"So how do you think this will go?" You asked.

"He won't kill him, Rick knows he won't." Daryl said, looking at you "No matter the vote, he won't."

Daryl wrapped his arms on your waist and pulled you close. You saw the love in his eyes as he put his head on yours.

"I love you, I ain't gonna share ya with anyone. I'm sorry you went through that." Daryl said.

"It's not your fault, I chose to go. I knew that risk." You said, kissing him.

You couldn't kiss for long as a scream was heard. You both ran to it, You saw a walker attacking the person. Daryl killed the walker while you took care of the person. Dale, his stomach was ripped out of his body revealing his insides. You heard Daryl calling for help, but you knew better.
It was too late, Dale wasn't gonna make it, so you took his hand in yours. Tears ran down your face, people were freaking out and yelling.

"There's nothing I can do. Take him to the house, he'll bleed out. Operating out here, he could go into shock. Even if he makes it, he won't survive the night, there's only one thing we can do." Herschel said.

Rick pulled out his gun, his shaking hand pointed it at Dale. Daryl took it out of his hand, he got on one knee and put it on his head, looking at Dale.

"Goodbye brother."
