Daryl's Fallen(TWD fan fiction/Daryl Dixon)

Chapter 10

Lily's pov

I woke up all alone in a bed. I yawned, it was late in the afternoon and the man Rick came in, a smile on his face.
"Hey I'm rick."
"I'm Lily, sorry about attacking your son. I thought only Daryl lived in this house." I lent up against the headboard and Rick chuckled very deeply.
I managed to lean up and stare at the mans kind green blue eyes.
"Nah we all live here" he sat on the edge of bed and clasped his hands.
"So how did you meet Daryl?"
"I kind of kidnapped him in a non threatening way..." I winced and Rick smiled obviously not feeling intimidated by me really.
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
I was stunned at his question before nodding
"How many?"
"5"
"Why?"
"One I thought was a walker, the other two were attacking Daryl and I killed someone who attacking me and I don't know if I really killed the forth one..." It was silent before he lent back and stared at me.
"How many walkers have you killed?"
"A lot" I shrugged
"You all alone?" He croaked and I nodded he got off of the bed and began to leave while I was not understanding why he asked me all those question.
"Is the little baby yours?"
"Yeah judith." He smiled.
"I guess I'm part of the team?"
"Gotta know everyone first."
"That's cool, where's Daryl?" I ask and he cleared his throat.
"He's outside." I nod in appreciation and on shaky legs I got up and headed downstairs, waving to the people I didn't know. There were loads including the baby, they stopped and stared and I felt like I was in high school all over again just being judged.
I opened the door and saw Daryl smoking a cigarette he peered at me for a second before looking out at the street, I joined him on the steps and looked at the road; the lamplight shining and the children playing and screaming with laughter, it was almost as if there weren't bad people and biters outside the walls.
"Thanks for the inhaler." I smiled, he breathed out his cigarette smoke and stared at me for a split second that made me shiver from the intensenes.
"What?" I bumped his shoulder with mine. He breathed out his cigaret smoke and mumbled a little while looking at his hands.
"I'm gonna go out, go hunt."
"Don't, we why have food here?"
"Yeah but I like squirrels..." he got up and through his cigaret on the floor and stamped on it violently.
"Can I come?" I asked, he looked me up and down and frowned.
"Please?"i gave him puppy dog eyes-not well but still- and he reluctantly nodded while sucking the inside of his cheek, before heading upstairs to get his crossbow and my bow and arrow.
I waited inside and Rick at the table invited him and I over for lunch with the other survivors too.
"Nah we goin huntin" Daryl shook his head as I sit leaning against the wall, hands behind my back. Daryl pulled my arms hard enough to rip it off and dragged me out.

He headed over the high wall and put his hand down and I grab it as he pulled me up and we jumped onto the ground far below us.
Heading into the woods he was quiet.
"You alright?" I asked keeping close behind him incase we got attacked.
"The kiss meant nothing." he muttered and I stopped in my tracks and felt my heart shatter.
"It was a stupid mistake 'ight?" He peered behind him to look at me. My mouth opened and I close it and nodded. I walk out in front of him pushing past his shoulder violently, I felt so stupid and angry. I was trudging through the woods and I got to a clearing. I spun around trying to look for Daryl and got my breath back. Then someone grabbed me and kicked me in the leg so I fell. I looked up and saw the two guys we encountered on our way here. They grabbed me and pulled me upright.
"It's her." the blond one spoke looking at my wrist. The tall, dark and handsome one got out a knife, an evil smile on his face. I backed up into the tree, breathing heavily. The sound of a arrow being shot from a cross bow happened as tall dark and handsome fell down, penetrating his heart the blood leaking out of him. I shuddered and whimpered as the blonde one whirled around and picked up the knife and held it to my throat. His arm around my throat chocking me as he stood behind me using me as a shield.
"Alright I will kill her I'm not joking." he grabbed me hard. I flashed my eyes and I bit him in the arm. He let go and an arrow pierced through his heart and he fell down hard.
Daryl came out, picking up his arrow.
"What is your problem?" I was infuriated.
"Excuse me?" He growled coming up close towards my face.
"I could of found out from the blonde one who the hell sent them to kill me!" I scrunched up my face and shouted.
"Well they were gonna kill you anyway if I didn't do anything so you can shut up right now Lily." he poked my chest so I backed up into a tree. It fell silent again and both of us were breathing hard. His shoulder moving up and down rapidly, chest out moving just as fast. I felt the connection between us as he stood above me, looking down closing the space slowly towards me. Breath ragged he iseemed unsure as he touched my cheek softly with the back of his finger, I flickered my eyes down to the ground and looked back up. I slipped my shaking hand into his free tough one and he leant closer towards me, my free hand resting on his chest, our lips skimming each other's. I couldn't get over how mysterious he was, his blue eyes sparkly bright as he studied my face. I heard the familiar sound of footsteps of an intruder but this was a first. My eyes flashed yellow as I saw the intruder in his hoodie loading a crossbow aiming at Daryl I could see it from his persepctive, strange. Everything went slow as with all my might I kicked and pushed Daryl down to the ground and ran head on grabbing my bow and arrow and aiming it at the intruder. His head poked out and I shot at him but his arrow had already left and that's when I felt it, I looked down and saw the arrow had entered into my side. A deep pain flooded through me knocking the air out of me. I slowly turned around and saw Daryl looking up at me, his face pale as snow on the ground shaking. I put my hand to my side and then brought it up to my face, blood covered it. I gasped and winced making a chocking noise. Daryl skidded off of the ground and stood up breath still ragged and I fell. He ran over to my side and his hands were shaking as he touched my side; the arrow pocking out. I lay in his arms and tears ran down my face with pain. I began to wince at the pain as I grabbed onto his muscular arm.
"Oh god" he finally said some thing as his hand lay on the wound.
"Take it out!" I begged
"No you have to leave it in!" He shouted out of fear and his hand rested against my bloody wound. Fear set into my eyes and his and I knew I wasn't going to make it.

"Come on Lily" he said picking me up into his arms carrying me close towards him. My body felt limp and numb. We darted through the woods as I felt my self fade very deeply.
"Stay with me Lily!" he shouted again at me. I saw the gates up ahead of us and he began to scream.
"Open up, help us!" I hadn't heard him speak that loud before.
The gate opened up and I saw some of Daryl's people running towards the gate at high speed.
Someone who was in the guard tower ran down and saw me. Daryl grabbed me close, panic in his eyes. Rick took one look at me.
"Get Jeremy!" He shouted to Carl who ran down the street. People began to come out of their house to see what was going on.
"She's loosing a lot of blood" a lady with grey hair spook solemnly.
"Lily stay awake." Daryl told me loudly shaking me but i was so tried.
"I'm not gonna make it..." I chocked on my tears looking up at Daryl.
"No you listen to me you are a fighter." he peered down at me bringing me closer to his chest.
"I'm tired of fighting..." I sniffed and everyone was watching not really knowing what to do.
"Lily, don't leave like this." Daryl shook his head and I couldn't stand to see him so emotional, I had never really seen him that way.
"Thanks Daryl for everything..." I say before letting my body fall limp and falling into the darkness.
