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

Chapter 14

Laying on my bed I looked up at the white ceiling of Daryl bedroom. Over the past few weeks Daryl had put a good word in for me. Some people in the group liked me such as: Carl, Rick, Michonne, Daryl, Maggie, Glen and Eugene. While others like: Carol, Rosita, Abraham and the others didn't.
"Let's get going." I nod as Daryl came in and pulled me up from his bed and handed me by bow and arrow.
We got through the gate this time seeming as I'm actually accepted into this place instead of sneaking in.
Daryl kept close, crossbow in hand. I gazed at him and he caught me looking and frowned.
"View good eh?" I blushed and I heard him chuckle a little. We got to a divide in the woods where the little dirt track split off. He looked at me with those gorgeous blue eyes and nodded.
"Right, I'm gonna go left and I want you to go right. If I don't meet you by the divide at sundown I will come looking for you aight?" He cocked his head and I rolled my eyes and nodded. He stormed up to me, a bit afraid I kind of sunk a little, instead he grabbed the back of my neck and kissed me, not a 'hey honey how was your day kiss?' but a 'you better be back here soon cos I'm afraid you might get bit' kiss. He pulled back and smirked that glint in his eyes.
"Be safe." He kissed my forehead.
"Always am." I replied and he gave me an appreciated nod before I headed in the opposite direction.

On my own was strange. I used to love it but now I hated it. I was in constant fear almost with out someone watching out for me. Something snapped behind me and ready on my feet I turned around. I didn't duck in time as I got smacked in the face with something hard. I fell to the ground the familiar taste of metallic blood in my mouth. I spat it out and got back on my feet. The intruder-Male with shaggy brown hair and an evil grey look in his eyes-raised his brown as I began to dodge his attack. His fist came flying towards me but I ducked and socked him in the face, using the back of his hand he wiped it off and lunged for me knocking me to the ground. He got onto me of me and punched me in the nose, a sheering pain rushing through me. I grunted as I made us rollover hitting him harder in the face and almost screaming while I did it. I got pulled back by someone else pulling me to a tree. An angry bald men held my arms as the one who attacked me got off the floor and chuckled ominously before striking me across the face and sending me into a black pit of nothing.

Daryl's PoV
I had gotten back to that divide in the woods and was waiting for her.
God the girl drove me crazy, in a good way.
I put down my crossbow and sat on the dirty forest floor restin my back against one big ass tree.
I got a cigarette, pressed it against my lips and was about to use it when I saw her face in my mind.
Shit.
I immediately felt guilty and placed it back in the box.
What had that girl done to me? I was feelin things...Dixons don't feel shit.
I tried to push her away like everyone, cos everyone I cared about was either dead or goin crazy pretending be a sheriff in a world ran by fuckin walkers.
But Lily she was tough and different. She carried herself like she had the world on her shoulders and she could do that strange thang with the eyes that confused the shit out of me.
How could someone like that like some stupid redneck like me?
It confused the shit out of me I didn't like how she consumed my thoughts.
I would tell her i liked her one minute and say I was lyin the next. Her face would do that little twitching thing before her lip began to tremble and she would stop speaking to me.
Every time that broke my heart.
I've done it too many times now, I was waiting for her to leave me like everyone else, a test to see if she would really stick by me.
It was twisted but I didn't care. I liked her. I didn't want to like her but I did.

I got off of my feet grabbing my crossbow a little bit worried about her now.
Another person to add to the list.
Something told me in my mind and I told it to shut the hell up.
I made my way through the forest I saw footprints, one of them was Lily's, I knew and then there were two more footprints trailing behind her.
They had snuck up on her.
I felt my breath choke as I tracked the prints and saw she had dropped her bow and arrow and there was blood splattered on the autumn leaves.
I gasped and felt that familiar panic and dread set into my veins.
"Fuck. Lily!" I shouted putting my hands around my mouth so it was louder.
I couldn't lose her not now.
I promised myself she wouldn't turn out like the others.
I ran back to Alexandria as fast as I could rattling on the gates.
"Let me in now!" I barked.
"What happened?" I saw the panic in Ricks face as he opened the gate.
"Someone took Lily" I chocked, I felt that burnin' pit of anger in my stomach I was gonna kill those sons of bitches for taking my girl.
"What?"
"They took her."
"Do you think they knew about her?" He raised his brow asking in a low voice and I shrugged.
"They may of done, I don't know we have to catch em now!" I huffed, Michonne came over and Rick explained the situation and we all went out to go find her.
************
We couldn't find her anywhere.
The footprints had been covered.
I felt my heart sink, she wasn't comin' back I knew it.
"Why would anyone take her?" Michonne placed her katana back in its holder on her back as we made our way back to Alexandria.
"Beats me." I shrugged and caught Ricks eye and he nodded.
"She was sweet, it ain't fair." I didn't like how Rick spoke of her in the past tense as if she was already dead.
Even though I knew she was gone I didn't like how other people thought that way too.
"I might stay out a while longer and try and find her..." my voice trailed off and Michonne and Rick nodded, they weren't gonna argue about this. He passed me a flare.
"Use it if you need it."
"Thanks brother." he patted my back and gave me a rare genuine smile.
"Be careful Daryl." and they left me.

I sat on the ground and sat with my back against the tree.
"Where the hell are you Lily?" I sighed and lent my head against the tree thinking about her gorgeous blonde hair. The way her emerald eyes twinkled. How she laughed and when she did laugh it actually made me,well, sort of actually smile.
She turned me soft.
I hated that, I wasn't no ones bitch.
She made me feel like the way I felt towards her was okay. That it was alright to feel that way. So why did I feel like it wasn't?
"I'm gonna kill those dicks who took you." I scrunched up a handful of leaves and cursed underneath my breath.
"And if I do find you I won't ever tell you I am lyin' about my feelins cos I ain't, I just don't like to admit I have feelins towards anything. Just please Lily, please come home."
