Chapter 24.

24. Church.

It was early in the morning and me and Daryl separated from the group to hunt for food."I love your hair." I said as I grabbed a strand, "Your really growing it out, wonder why?" I said with a smile. "My girl likes it." He said as he kissed me, I wrapped my arms around his neck and he dropped everything and grabbed my waist. At first the kiss was soft, and then rough, hungry, we both clearly missed each other but I had to stop him. "We need..to head back to the..others." I said as he kissed my neck. "Daryl." I said as I kissed him on the lips. "They can wait."  "You know how the others are, they'll start to worry." I said with a smile and kissed his nose.

"Ugh fine.." He groaned and picked up what he dropped and we head back. We saw the guns pointing at us, "We surrender." Daryl said sarcastically and I smiled. Michonne gave me a look and we all started to walk, she pulled my arm. "What's that on your neck." She said, "Your lying." I said as I grabbed my neck. "Did you guys..." "Your so dumb." I said as I laughed, "No we didn't.. we just kissed." "Mhm..didn't look like just a kiss." She said and we both laughed. We stopped when we heard yells and Carl begged Rick that we help. Rick agreed and we all ran to the noise.

It was a guy, a priest on top of a rock with walkers surrounding him. He was yelling for help, and we started to kill the walkers there. The priest came down, "You okay?" Rick asked and the guy started to vomit. "Ew.." I said as Carol nudged me and Daryl smirked. "Sorry. Yes, thank you. I'm Gabriel." He said, "Do you have any weapons on you?" Rick asked, "Do..Do I look like I have any weapons on me." Gabriel said, "We don't give two short and curlies what it looks like." Abraham said and I smiled. "I have no weapons of any kind. The rule of god is the only protection I need." Gabriel said, "Sure didn't look like it." Daryl said and I nudged with my shoulder. "I called for help! Help came." He said as he looked at us. "D-Do you have any food, or whatever..What I had left hit the ground.."He continued. "We got some pecans." Carl handed him some and he said thank you. He saw Judith and said that she was beautiful. They started to talk and Rick started to ask him the questions, as he patted him down. Gabriel said that he has a church, and we made our way towards it.

Gabriel then started to joke about how he can be lying and leading us into a trap. "Members of my flock had often told me that my sense of humor leaves much to be desired." Gabriel said, "Yeah it does." Daryl said and I slightly laughed. We then continued on our way to the church. As we kept walking, we saw a white church. Gabriel was going to open it but Rick told him to hold on. He opened it and we all got our weapons and checked the church. I went with Carol inside this room and she flipped through a notebook, "A Diary?" I asked, "Not sure, maybe." She said, "He doesn't seem harmful." I said as we walked back outside with the others. Then Abraham started to talk to Rick about the bus as transportation and Michonne said that we needed supplies. We all followed Rick back inside to settle in.

"Y/N want to help me out with Judith like the good ol' times." Tyreese teased and I laughed. "I'd be pleasure to." I said as I carried Judith. I then spotted Daryl and Carol, "Where you guys going?" I asked, "Gonna look around, for anything." Daryl said, "Don't worry to much." Carol said as she softly smiled and kissed my forehead. "We'll be back." Daryl said as he kissed me, "Be careful. Both of you." I said, "Will do pookie." Carol said as they both walked out and I laughed.

"You see what I deal with Judith." I said to her and she giggled. "Gosh your to cute." I kissed her cheek, "Now let's go find your brother." It took some time and I spotted him inside a room. "Hey Carl." I said, "Hm? Oh Y/N!" He said startled, "Sorry didn't mean to sneak up on you." "It's alright. So what's up?" "Wanted to see if you wanted to continue our training lessons." I said with a smile and he beamed. "Yeah! Finally!" He said excitedly, "Okay slow down kid, I'll leave Judith with Ty. Meet me outside at the entrance." I said and he nods, we both walked out of the room and I headed towards Ty.

"Times up! Your turn." I said with a smile, "Bummer." Ty said sarcastically as he carried Judith, "I'll be outside with Carl." I said and he nods. I walked outside and met with Carl, "I've been practicing when you were gone! I'll finally beat you." Carl said confidently, "I like a good challenge. Let's see what you got." I said and we both practice for a while, he has gotten better but still needs to learn. But he has gotten better at striking than defense, we spent a good time practicing so I told him we can stop for today and continue tomorrow. I asked if he was gonna head inside but he stayed outside and I just told him to be careful.

Time past and the group came back with supplies, Daryl and Carol also came back and we had a mini feast. Everyone was enjoying themselves, Abraham then asked for everyone's attention and gave a speech how we are survivors. "To the survivors!" He said and we all cheered and drank our wine. Then he talked about if that's what we wanted to be and talked about D.C. that we should go to D.C.

We all just looked at each other, and Rick said that were in and we all clapped. "Ima go talk to Michonne." I said as I kissed Daryl and he nod. "D.C Huh." I said as i made my way towards her. "Fresh start doesn't sound to bad." She smiled at me and made space for me to sit down. I sat next to her and we talked for a while, when I looked up and couldn't spot Daryl or Carol. "Hey...Do you know where Daryl and Carol are?" I asked her and she looked around. "No?...weren't they just here?" She said and I got up, "I'm going to go and find them." I said and she got up, "I'll come with." She said as she grabbed her katana and I grabbed my gun, we both sneaked out.

Its been a while as we walked trying to find them, "Where do you think they are?" She asked as we walked around, "...I don't know, fuck..." I said as I started to get worried. "Hey..they'll be okay." She softly smiled, "I just hate how they don't let me know." "Maybe they had their reasons. Let's go back, I'm sure they are okay." She said as she guided me back. I sighed and we walked back, I opened the door and a gun was pointed at me.

"Jeez! It's just us." I said and Rick lowered the gun and hugged me. "What's going on Rick?" "Thought you guys were missing. Get in." He said as he closed the door. I then saw Bob on the ground, "Holy shit." I whispered, "What happened?" Michonne asked and Bob told us what happened to him and the group that took them. "Do you know if they had Carol and Daryl?" Rick asked, "Gareth said they drove off." Bob said and my heart dropped. Michonne held my hand, Bob then winced in pain.

"He's in pain. Do we have anything?" Sasha asked, "I have some pill packets." I said as I was going to get up and Bob stopped me. "Save them.." he said, "No." Sasha said and Bob showed us his bite mark. We all just stayed quiet, I felt horrible for Sasha. Gabriel then said that there was a sofa at his office and Sasha thanked him and they moved him.

Then Abraham said that we should leave to D.C. now and Rick said we aren't going anywhere without Daryl and Carol. Abraham said that they are leaving and taking the bus, that we should all go. "We aren't leaving without Carol and Daryl." I angrily said, "Sorry buttercup but it's either life or death." He said and Rick walked up to him. "Carol saved your life. We saved your life!" He said and they both started to argue and got physical but luckily Glenn stopped them. Abraham then asked for Glenn and Maggie to go, then Eugene. Rick then told Abraham that he's not taking the bus and asked Rick to stop him. Then Rick was going to but Glenn stopped him and made a deal with Abraham and that they will go. "Fucking dick." I mumbled and sat down.

Then Rick started to make a plan to attack the group. One group stayed at the church but somewhere hidden and the other group went to the base. I stayed with the group inside and we heard Gareth started to call our names and talk. I had my gun pointed at the door. Then the door handle started to rattle, Gareth kept talking. When Judith started to cry and Carl went to calm her down. I went infront of them and had my gun towards the door. When we heard gun shots and Ricks voice, we sighed in relief. We then heard yelling and noises, Ty opened the door and when he came back in he looked scared. We then came out the door and saw blood and bodies on the ground.

It was now morning and we all said our goodbyes to Bob. We went outside and Abraham gave Rick a map of where they would be. I hugged Glenn and Maggie, "Stay safe you two.." I said as I teared up. "I'll see you soon." Maggie said as she wiped my tears and smiled. They went inside the bus and drove off.
