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

Chapter 13

Lily's pov

When I wake up i heard a commotion outside, I looked to my right and I saw a walker heading towards me. I screamed and moved away from it, falling off the bed and landing on my wound. A pang of pain shooting up my side. The walker tried to reach over the bed to get to me but I scuttled my back to the wall. Trying to grab anything, i turned my attention away from the walker and i screamed as the walker feel on top of me, it's snapping jaws tried to bite me. I held it at arms distance and tried to look for a weapon to use. The biter stopped moving as a knife went through its eye scooping it out like ice cream. I pushed the walker off of me and behind it was Daryl. Angel wings and face set like stone he knelt down onto the floor and I wrapped my arms around him, burring my face into his neck. His manly smell filled my nose, he smelt of nature and wait was that aftershave? The thought left my mind as he stroked my hair ever so gently. I felt so safe and secure I wanted to stay there forever.

"Come on." he put his arm around me and I hobbled away with him through the streets as a siren sounded and people screamed; old car alarms sounded and desolation surrounded us both.
Walkers came out and Daryl peered down his sight of the crossbow and shot at them. Too many came out and i saw him struggling. I fell out of his arms and he helped me back up.
"Come on" he took my hand and dragged me. A sheering pain went up my stomach fast and it burned like a wild fire all around me. I fell to the ground as the pain was too much and the walkers were too close. Daryl ran back and threw me into his arms bridal style keeping me close.

We got to the gates and Daryl looked exhausted carrying me.
"I can walk." I say and I hobbled next to him but he was adamant about keeping me close.
"There's the safe house." he pointed to a blue house. He helped me get in there and the whole group was there, starring at me like an alien.
"She lives?" Carol raised her brow and I frowned at her as i was a bit confused. I looked at the wooden beams of the old house, country style logs and rickety steps, a small fireplace with worn out chairs and blank photo frames.
"Where's the doctor?" I asked and Rick shrugged, god I hoped he had made it.
"What happened?" I asked and Rick scratched his head.
"Someone left the gate open" I nodded and the late night air was coming in.
"Go grab some grub" Daryl told me and I headed to the kitchen, bow on back and made a sandwich
"So glad you made it." I heard Carol say to someone, I turned to see a tall figure stood in the doorway.
"I'm glad I made it out alive." I heard the figure reply. I snapped my head up and perked my ears up. He began to laugh and I grabbed my bow and arrow and edged my way towards the doorframe of the old black front door . Some people were upstairs, that army lot, while the rest sat downstairs.

I felt my breath catch as i stared at him. That's when I saw the mans eyes; the dark black pit of emptiness, I grabbed my bow and arrow and aimed it at him as I stepped into the living room.

"Get back" I growled at him and it was deadly silent.
"Daryl! Rick!" Carol shouted and they ran down the stairs and saw me. My shaky hand holding onto my bow and arrow up towards the man.
"Put it down Lily!" Rick instructed slowly coming towards me. I turned towards him and he jumped back his hands up.
"Lily?" Daryl inched forwards, he looked so disappointed but I aimed the bow and arrow at him too.
"Back up Daryl"
"Lily stop." he spoke a bit more forcefully. Blue eyes wide and glistening bright. God I felt absolutely utterly torned again.
"It's him Daryl, it's Troy." Troy seemed to be stunned before acting Mr Perfect again.
"That isn't him Lily, that's Andrew." Rick spoke softly but I didn't buy it. Troys hands were up high and he looked scared and I loved it.

"Do you remember what you did to those girls Troy? What you tried to do to me?" I stepped closer towards him pulling the arrow back more.
"I don't know what you're talking bout." and I let the arrow go, slightly to the left, so that it went into the wall beside him. He yelped.
"Yes you do, stop lying. My sister died because of you, everyone left me because of you!" I went forwards again loading another arrow and I heard Daryls footsteps get closer.
"Daryl if you move any closer I will shoot you, I need to do this." I say to him tears in my eye. Troy swallowed. His massive figure, yes was intimidating, but I breathed deeply and gathered up courage to face my enemy.
"How do you know it's him?" Carol shouted, flowery jumper clinging to her. I remembered my knife slitting through his arm when he tried to hurt me while i saved Penny.
"There should be a scar on his arm." he took off his shirt and I gulped, nothing there.
"I told you it isn't him!" Carol shouted back and I narrowed my sights for her.
"Lily put the weapon down, it's not Troy." Rick used his strict cop voice.
I remembered my wrist. I look down at it at the faint mark of the T,S. He branded all the girls he used in terminus.
"Empty your pockets." I say gesturing to them with my bow and arrow.
"Rick please tell her..."
"Empty your pockets." he emptied them in a rush and noting fell out. He accidentally shook his leg and something dropped. With a stunned look he was about to pick it up but I lunged forwards and took it in my hand, my back facing him. I looked at the metal, the same intials. I heard him get out his gun from his pocket.
"Lily!" Carl shouted as he was to the right of Troy and could see it too. I twirled around and didn't hesitate and fired. The arrow went through his chest and through his heart. He stumbled back, blood filling in his mouth before his big body fell down while he was clutching his chest. Carol let out a big scream her hands flying to her mouth as Rick screamed no. Obviously they liked this man, this horrible man. While the white noise went around me I walked over to his body and got out my knife. Straddling him I checked his other arm and there was the scar, I proceeded to then stab his head.
"This is from penny!" I screamed
"This is from me!" I stabbed again.
"This is from all the girls in terminus!" I repeatedly stabbed his head while others watched with horror. His head was streaming with blood as my marks slashed through his brain. Daryl crept up behind me and grabbed a hold of me carrying me away from Troys body while I thrashed in his arms. Rick came up to me his gun out pointing it towards my head until Daryl gave him a look that had a lot of communication in it. His arms held me tightly restricting me from moving.
"Carol no!" Carol came towards me and Daryl with a knife. Carl stopped her and Rick gave me an evil glare. The army people came down and saw what had happened and stared at Troys body.
