Breathe Princess (Daryl Dixon Love Story)

Chapter Twenty Seven

I plopped down of Daryl's bike wrapping my arms tightly around his waist as soon as we took off. Winter has passed, hell probably months did and all we did was migrate from house to house hoping to find a safe place to be in.

''We have no other place to go'' I said as we stopped in the middle of no where feeling the stress start to hit me.

''When this herd meets up with this one, we'll be cut off, we'll never make it south'' Maggie pointed out on the map as i took a closer look.

''What do you say, it's about 150 head?'' Daryl spoke from beside me making me lean on to him hoping to ease the pain on my knee. Not going to lie and say it isn't bothering me because it is. I haven't been taking care of it much since we move around a lot. Hershel offers out help but i wouldn't take it because i didn't want him nor the group to worry about me since we've got a lot on our shoulders.

''That was last week, could be twice by now''

''This river could have delayed them. If we move fast, we might have a shot to tear right through this'' Hershel put in making me shake my head.

''Yeah, but if this group joins with that one, they could spill out this way'' I chimed in pointing out what's on the map.

''So we're blocked'' Maggie sighed making me run my fingers through my hair.

''Only thing to do is double back at 27th and swing towards Greenville'' Rick spoke making T-dog argue with him ''We picked through that already, it's like we spent the winter going in circles''

''Yeah, I know. I know. At Newnan we'll push west. Haven't been through the area. We can't keep going house to house.'' He looks at Lori in the car ''We need to find some place to hold up for a few weeks''

Daryl grabbed my hand taking me beside the edge of the forest ''Did you take your pills?''

''Fucking sake this is the third time you have questioned me today, i know what i have to do. I'm not nine Daryl'' I exploded keeping my voice down not wanting for the group to hear us.

''After what you told me how the fuck shouldn't i be worried all the fucking time?'' He glared making me glare back ''You worry too fucking much, calm your ass down'' This is literally all we do these days; argue. It's really stressful arguing with him because i don't like arguing with anybody especially him.

''Whatever'' I mumbled pulling my hair out of my face ending the argument after basically trying to get on each others throats for the last three minutes. ''Hey, while the others wash their panties, let's go hunt. That owl didn't exactly hit the spot'' He pushed past me walking over to Rick. I sighed deeply sliding into the car slamming the door shut in process.

My eye's gazed in awe as i started at the prison in front of me ''This is perfect'' I breathed.

''If we can shut that gate, prevent more from filling the yard, we can pick off these walkers. We'll take the field by tonight'' Rick explained.

''So how do we shut the gate?'' Hershel asked making me bite my lip.

''This might be crazy, but i can do it. I'm fast'' I said nervously as they all stared at me.

''You have a sprained knee, you push that down. You'll get a worse injury than you already have'' Hershel stated making me nod and grip on my backpack.

''I will then'' Glenn said.

''No, it's a suicide run''

''I'm the fastest'' Glenn argued further.

''No. You, Maggie, Beth and Annora draw as many as you can over there (he points on the direction) , pop them through the fence. Daryl, go back to the other tower. Carol, you've become a pretty good shot, take your time, we don't have a lot of ammo to waste. Hershel, you and Carl, take this tower'' Rick ordered making everyone get in position.
