Indestructible (Daryl Dixon Love Story)

Cover Up Story

As we made it to the second truck we all got out. Instead of immediately sorting out and figuring who went in which truck, everyone just kind of stood there. For some reason, I had a feeling we were all thinking the same thing. Do we really tell everyone we got taken hostage by old people and were locked up in a Bingo Hall? I knew if Rick told anyone that, his judgments as a leader would be questioned. Well, at least, they would if the people were intelligent in the least bit.

Finally, it was Glenn who voiced our thoughts out loud. "Are we really, you know, gonna tell people we got kidnapped by old people?" We all looked at each other. "It wouldn't be right to lie to them," Rick stated though his voice sounded like he wished someone would disagree with him. Of course now that it was actually needed, Shane kept quiet. "We wouldn't technically be lying, maybe we just change the story up a little bit, take some things out, put a few things in," I suggested softly.

Everyone looked at me, but instead of disbelief, they all looked slightly relieved. "So what's the story." Daryl looked at me waiting for me to tell them what to say, he didn't look at me the way he usually did, this time, his gaze held the same look it did when he was speaking to Rick, respect. So instead of shrugging my shoulders like I originally wanted to, I thought for a moment and finally opened my mouth.

"We were ambushed by a herd of walkers, there were, at least, fifty of them, and we couldn't take them all on by ourselves. So we had to hide in the Bingo Hall and wait them out, it was nearly dark by the time the last one finally wondered off. Rick decided it was too risky to go back the way we came in case of running into more and leading them back to camp. So we had to take a longer way back." With a nod and smile, Rick approved. "That's perfect, good thinking Raksha." The others agreed that would be the best way to go too.

As we got into the trucks with the same seating arrangement as before, Daryl called out to me. "Not too bad princess." With a final nod, he got in the other truck. I smiled before climbing in and shutting the door.

When we finally made it to camp everyone practically swarmed us.

"What happened?"

"Where were you?"

"Is everyone okay?"

"What took you so long?"

Everyone kept repeating the same questions over and over again. Rick gave out answers as fast as he could while trying to keep up with the questions.

"We were ambushed by a herd."

"We had to wait them out."

"Everyone's alright."

"We had to take a longer way back."

"Alright everyone listen up!" Shane finally spoke out, loud enough for everyone to hear. "Everyone's fine, their's no need to panic, what we need you to do is help get the supplies out of the truck, can everyone handle that?" And just like that everyone quieted down and burst into action. Soon, everything was out of the truck and divided and placed where it was needed.

I started walking towards the IWV when Rick called my name.Can't you just let me go to sleep. I held in a groan and turned around. "Yeah?" "We're coming up with plans for tomorrow, we thought you might want to be a part of it." I nodded my head and followed him to Dale's RV. When I got in Daryl, Shane, Lori, and Dale were already sitting down and waiting for me.

"We think it's best if we go ahead and move out tomorrow, it's safe to keep traveling." I nodded my head, I liked the way Rick always got straight to the point. "We should leave as soon as it's light out," Dale added in. The rest of us murmured our agreements. "Everyone agree?" Rick looked around at each of us, but for some reason, I felt like the question was directed at Shane. When no one voiced any complaints he gave a quick nod. "It's decided then." With that, we all got up and went to our separate sleeping areas.

As I laid in the IWV I couldn't help but laugh.

Did we really get kidnapped by little old ladies? And who the hell was Jerry?
