Never Make A Promise (TWD/ Daryl Dixon FanFic)

Meeting The Governor

A few days went by and Merle had started to adapt to our way of life. He has his own cell now, with an actual bed. He has started to tape a knife to his stumped arm. Daryl on the other hand had gotten into a fight with Glenn about Merle even though Daryl tried to set it right and now for some strange reason Maggie and Glenn ain't talking to me so I was gonna find out way.

Everybody finished eating breakfast and went their separate ways for the day. I ate by myself on the steel steps as I wanted to get to Maggie before she went off.

She had just hugged Glenn as he walked off and she was about to turn around to walk away so I called her. "Maggie!" She whipped around, nearly hitting me in the face with her hair.

"What's up?" I cleared my voice before continuing. I thought that I'd just say what I had to quickly. Like ripping off a bandaid. "Why have you been ignoring me?" that was a bit quicker than I realized.

Maggie gave a frown, I sighed. "Why have you been ignoring me?" I said slowly. "Maggie sighed "I...." She paused and looked down with her hands in her back pockets "its not you" it was my turn to frown "so...?" "It's daryl, well more Merle" I continued to frown "well...." I was interrupted by a voice calling me. I turned around and noticed Rick approaching me. "We'll talk later" I called after her as Maggie walked out of the cell block.

"What's going on?" I approached Rick hurriedly. "We're meeting the governor today" I was so confused "what?" "Well I am" again, I was baffled.

"The governor agreed to meet me. Jay, I'm going to sort this out, we're not leaving here" I nodded in understanding. "I need you, Daryl and Hershel to come with me" this was all too much first thing in the morning.

"Why us? Why Hershel?" "You and Daryl are our best shots and if they try anything I can count on you two to put a bullet between their eyes. As for Hershel... Well, he's more for the voice of reason" I shook my head at him and gave a little smirk.

"I'll go and find Daryl." Ok, I'll meet you by the cars" I nodded and we parted ways.

I went outside to find Daryl with his head in the hood of one of the cars. I shook my head as I watched him. He just doesn't know how to relax.

I approached him from behind but he must have heard me coming as he asked for a screwdriver which was on top of the car, I picked it up and handed it to him.

"We're going out with Rick and Hershel" Daryl paused for a second before continuing "why?" I stepped a little closer to him. "Rick is having a meeting with the governor".

I stepped back as I saw Daryl pause again and turned "what?" I repeated myself and watched Daryl's eyes turn dark. "We aren't allowed to interfere though" I interrupted him before he got any ideas. Daryl just gave me a nod before slamming the hood to the car down.

The car ride was shorter than I expected. The place we were meeting the governor was a run down farm shed with some big, round containers scattered here and there.

When we got out of the car two Woodbury people were standing by a car. I frowned at them and walked around to help Hershel out the other side. I heard Daryl huff at the guys and went to stand with Rick. "Who are those guys?" I whispered to Hershel as I held him up so he could get his crutches. He just shrugged saying he didn't know.

Rick ordered us to stay outside as he went into the barn to meet the governor. Me and Daryl leant against our car starring out the Woodbury guys. I thought I'd break the tension with a question. "So where's the governor?"

The guy in the glasses responded. "The governor thought it would be best if he and Rick spoke privately" Daryl walked towards them. "who the hell are you?" "I'm Milton Mamet" Daryl scoffed. "Great he brought his butler" the other guy and I chuckled quietly "I'm his advisor" the Milton guy started writing things down.

Daryl carried on the conversation, "what kind of advise?" I was kind of curious too. "I'm sorry, I don't have to explain myself to the henchmen" referring to me and Daryl. "Hey! You better watch your mouth sunshine" I pull Daryl away before he started something.

Hershel was taking to Milton and then Hershel started chuckling to himself which made me smile. I was about to open my mouth to speak to Daryl when moans were heard. I grabbed my knife, Daryl got his crossbow and the Woodbury guy got a baseball bat.

There were about 3 walkers minding their own business. "After you" Daryl taunted to the guy who chuckled "no, after you" I scoffed and walked between them. I got the walker in the head and walked away smugly. "Pussy" I heard the guy call after Daryl.

Daryl come back seconds later with a packet of cigarettes. He offered to guy one who politely declined so Daryl called him a douche bag which I slapped him for.

Hours later Rick stormed out of the barn and back to the car. We all got in and went 'home' not knowing what went on in that barn.

It was late when we got back so I decided to go straight to bed. I notifed Merle watching me find some clothes which made me feel awkward and uncomfortable so I found some and quickly went down the steps. I passed Daryl and walked straight to the shower thinking I might as well have one before getting changed. I stripped down and placed my pants and knife near by. I turned on the shower while undoing my hair band.

I heard footsteps and grabbed my knife whipping around to find it was held to Daryl's throat. My eyes softened as Daryl grabbed my hand and lowered it from his throat. I stepped back and felt the water rush down my back.

I then felt the coldness of the wall as Daryl pushed me again it and crashed his lips against mine. I kissed back and grabbed the rim of Daryl's shirt, allowing him go remove it. We were both now soaking wet but we didn't care. This day was long and I just need to relax in the shower with my.... Daryl.
