Dead or alive, I love you

Maggie helps Genny walk out of the farmhouse. "Steps here," she says as they walk over the porch.

Daryl looks at them from the car which they're loading. "Careful, now," Maggie says as Genny's knee bucks out for a second.

Suddenly the car with Rick, Glenn and Hershel comes back and Maggie lets go of Genny who leans on her crutch.

Maggie goes to hug Glenn but he runs to his sister and hugs her tightly. "You okay?" He asks as she hugs him back.

"I'm fine, how about you? Are you okay?" She asks checking his arms and neck.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he says pulling back.

"Who the hell is that?" T asks pointing at a blindfolded guy in the backseat of the car.

"That's Randall," Glenn sighs with Genny's arm over his shoulder.

The entire group goes inside and Glenn takes Genny to her room. "I'll update you on the guy," he says making her nod.

Glenn doesn't return but Daryl sits next Genny on the bed reading her a book. He stops after a while as he thinks of something. "Why don't you love your daughter?" He asks in a whisper.

Genny's body tenses up before she gets off his chest. "Please, go," she says softly looking away.

He frowns and looks at her for a while before respecting her request. He leaves the room and Genny looks at the door before she throws the book at it. She falls back into the bed sobbing while Glenn walks in.

"Hey, what happened?" He asks pulling her into his chest to comfort her.

"He knows," she sobs holding him, "he knows about Caisy."

Glenn's face goes white with shock as he sooths her until she falls asleep. Daryl lays in his tent and looks up as the zipper opens. "What?" He asks Glenn who walks in.

Glenn sits on the floor and looks at Daryl, "what do you know about Caisy?" He asks with tears in his eyes.

"Who's that?" Daryl asks with a frown sitting up.

"My niece," Glenn says.

Daryl nods before letting out a sigh, "I know that Genny don't love her. I think she hates her." He says.

"Caisy was the result of my sister being raped by a family friend. Genny hates my parents for not letting her have an abortion. So she ran away but it was to late. She neglected Caisy then she started doing drugs. I found her in her hallway, shot up with heroine. I called an ambulance, the hospital called cps for Caisy," Glenn pauses as Daryl looks at him shocked while Glenn wipes away a tear at the awful memories.

"What happened to Caisy?" Daryl asks.

"She was put into a home. Then she was taken out by my parents. When they died court tried to get Genny to take her back. Genny turned a blind eye and Caisy had to move back in with us. I took care of her until she was taken again by cps last year, when she was 13," Glenn says before getting up.

"Why are you telling me this?" Daryl asks before he leaves the tent.

Glenn stops and looks at him. "Because she won't," he whispers before walking out.
