Breathe Princess (Daryl Dixon Love Story)

Chapter Forty One

I secured the end of the braid with a small tie not wanting my soaked hair to be all over the place. I threw on one of Daryl's leather jacket, bringing my necklace over my head and clasping it together. I sighed looking down fiddling with it going back to my old habit. I shook my head removing my hand hearing someone mumbled Jacob's name, i grabbed my holster shoving my weapons in hiding a pocket knife in the side of my boot in case of emergency, you never know what might happen. 

 
The clicking sound of the heel of my boots was all i could hear as i walked over to the man with those angel wings. I took a hold of his hand looking at him as he laced our hands staring straight ahead swimming deep in his own thoughts.

''You alright?'' I questioned after tugging on his hand still, neither way not getting anything but silence. 

I watched as he licked and chewed on lips showing a sign of nervousness. ''I need to tell you something'' He broke in, breaking the silence.

''The governor'' The first two words made my heart sink, skin shiver and face change ''He said he'd leave us alone, forget everything that had happened, no one gets hurt but on one condition. He wants Michonne, and that's what's going to happen. We'll hand Michonne over''

''You can't be serious, you really think that's the right decision?'' I snapped throwing my hands everywhere not believing Daryl would actually agree to this.

''Rick's decisions, whatever he says goes'' He said making me sigh in frustration.

''What if we hand over Michonne. Think everything's alright for a couple of days, then he comes back with his whole town and attack us. We don't know him, what he's cable of. What i know is we can't trust this monster's words, he wants the prison not only Michonne. And he's going to do whatever he can to get it'' At this point, we both were standing in front of each other eyes connected as i spoke nothing but the truth.

''It's off, we'll take our chances'' Rick breathed heavily as he marched his way towards us. He looked at me slightly panicky but he saw me sigh in relief, him knowing that i knew about their plan.

''I'm not saying it was the wrong call, but this is definitely the right one. What's wrong?'' Daryl asked as Rick bite his lip, breathing heavy looking anxious.
''I can't find Merle or Michonne they've gone'' Rick answered, my eyes widening as i realized what this meant.

''Come on''



''He was in here said he was looking for drugs. Said a lot of things, actually'' Daryl mumbled walking me following behind. 

''Like what?'' Rick asked from the other side as we stopped in a spot.

''Said that you were gonna change your mind, Here we go'' He answered picking up the cloth bag then drooping it on the ground harshly ''Yeah he took her here''
''Damn it! I'm going after him'' Rick cursed rushing outside.

''You can't track for shit, I said I'd go and I'll go. Plus they're gonna come back here, you all need to be ready. Your family too'' He spoke pushing the door open.

''Daryl'' I took a deep breath stepping up in front ''i'm coming with you'' 

''Annora'' I shook my head cutting him off ''He's apart of this family too'' I gulped as he stared at me and by his face expression it was obvious that he didn't want me to go with him.

''Take her with you'' Rick ordered Daryl making him sigh in annoyance mumbling a harsh 'lets go' before walking out.

Rick placed his hand on my shoulder giving me a light squeeze ''be careful''
I gripped the gun in my hand as we continued walking both of us staying silent, i didn't want to say anything because i knew he was pissed off. I tried my best to not run over the tracks though i didn't really see anything. Plus i didn't want him yelling at me for the tenth time now.

''Could you stop'' He growled pushing me a little to the side, it wasn't a hard push but it was hurtful about how he was acting towards me at this moment.

''I can't really see anything how am i suppose to know?'' I exclaimed stopping dead in my tracks.

''Well if you don't know there's no purpose in you coming, i don't need your help. Should've listened to what i say and stayed back'' He growled raising his voice, stepping in front of me getting in my face.

''Stop yelling at me'' I whispered my eyes glimpsed in tears as i hated how he was handling the situation in me tagging along and hated how he was yelling at me.
His eyes softened, he reached out for my hand but i moved my hand away ''Don't touch me''

His eyes showed pure shock, his mouth opening and closing not knowing what to say. All he did was sigh in anger, turned around and walked away myself following behind.

''Hey where's my brother? You killed him?'' Daryl hollered making me finally come to a stop as we spotted Michonne.

''He let me go'' She mumbled shaking her head. I watched as he ran off making me sigh, i looked at Michonne as she nodded at me looking in Daryl's direction. I knew that was my cue so i went a head and ran after him.



I looked around the court filled with dead people and walkers making me grip on my gun. I stepped over a walker walking around not knowing where to go.

Growl

I turned around gun raised up as my heart shattered at the scene in front me. ''Daryl?''

I gripped my gun tightly tears running down my face as i looked at Merle growling at his baby brother. Sobs escaped Daryl's lips as he pushed Merle away, more sobs escaping as he pushed him once again. My heart broke more tears escaping my eyes not being able to handle this.

''Daryl'' I choked on my words dropping my gun rushing over to him as he knocked his brother down stabbing him in the face. He fell next to him crying as he threw the knife away. I kneeled down beside him pulling him into a hug. He wrapped his arms around my waist sobbing in my chest, i tugged his hair in my hair more tears running down my cheeks my heart shattering as a heard him sob even more.

We just lost a member of the family.
