Loud Silence Daryl x deaf reader

42. Tombs

Everyone was outside waiting for Rick to tell them something since he asked everyone to meet outside.

You sat next to Carl, and Rosco sat Infront of you panting hard since Carl was throwing a stick back and forth for him. Getting a bottle of water and a bowl before going outside for Rosco to drink and relax.

Rick finally walks up to all of you now saying what he had to say.

"When I met with the Governor, he offered me a deal. He said-- he said he would leave us alone if I gave him Michonne. And I was gonna do that... to keep us safe."

Everyone had a look of shock, and disappoinment.

"But I changed my mind, thought alot about what y/n said, her life isn't any less than ours, and it's not worth doing this. What I said last year, that first night after the farm... it can't be like that. It can't. What we do, what we're willing to do, who we are, it's not my call. It can't be."

"I couldn't sacrifice one of us for the greater good because we are the greater good. We're the reason we're still here, not me. This is life and death. How you live... how you die-- it isn't up to me."

After Rick was done y'all went inside more determined to stop the governor.

Daryl made it to the place where they meet with the governor. There was walkers eating people who were shot, he knew they were some of the governor's men.

He makes his way somewhere else, walkers who were put down, people who were also put down but we're being eaten as well.

Putting down a walker taking another arrow out to reload his crossbow until he stopped what he was doing.

He was staring at a walker who was eating someone's upper shoulder close to the chest. Daryl hoped it wasn't who he thought it was until it lifted it's head.

There he was, Merle Dixon now a walker, a walker eating someone. Daryl couldn't believe what he was looking at. His own brother now dead.. a walker.

Then Daryl's brother slowly stands up with flesh hanging from his mouth eating the last of it up, he stumbles making his way towards Daryl growling. Daryl had some tears in his eyes, he drops his crossbow breathing hard.

He pushes his brother away from him a couple times before finally taking out his knife, pushing Merle onto the ground stabbing him in the head multiple times. He gets off of him dropping his knife and letting more tears roll down.

You were pacing back and forth picking at your fingers, Rosco was more nervous seeing you nervous.

"Y/n I'm sure he's fine."

"Please don't say that to me, you're making me more nervous."

"Sorry."

Carol decided to stay outside with you. Michonne came back, but Daryl didn't. You hoped he found his brother and was now on their way, but what didn't help was the 'what if' he left again. Shaking your head you started feeling nauseous and stopped.

"Y/n?" Carol comes up placing her hand on your shoulder. She was the only one who knew of your pregnancy. "Just nauseous."

"Why don't we sit down." She insisted until there was a rattle at the Gates. The nervous feeling settled down seeing Daryl come up the cat walk. You count help but see the distant look on his face.. he lost his brother.

You start running to him and when he saw you he quickly embraced you crying. "He's gone" he said in between breathes. You held him having tears roll down your face. Daryl's knees gave out making him go down and so did you.
