Dangerous | Daryl Dixon The Walking Dead

(Cats pov)
The longer I'm sitting with Jim the worse he's getting, his head is covered in sweat, the bags under his eyes getting more prominent, breath getting heavier

"You need anything?" I ask

"Uh, a water" he mumbles closing his eyes and placing his hand on his forehead

"Yeah no worries" I reply and head to the kitchen and I hear him talking to himself

"No, no, no, no, no" I hear him say and I look in to see him lying there eyes tightly closed

"Jim" I interrupt his thoughts and give him the water

Outside the RV everyone's walking around and getting ready

"Rick" she lori says to her husband

"Yeah" he replies

"Why's cat still here?" She bitterly asks

"She's a good asset! Her brother is great with the kids as well! You know damn well none of you would be alive if I didn't bring her back with us!"
Rick scalds his wife

"She's dangerous Rick! Who's to say she won't turn on us? She could kill us all in a second, me, Carl, Sophia, Carol, Andrea, Jacqui, Shane, Daryl, Glenn, Dale, all of us could be gone because of her!" She yells

"But we ain't I'm sure if she wanted to she could've killed us all by now" Daryl says while walking past making Lori roll her eyes

"You would say that you've just got a soft spot for her" Lori says and the two men just ignore her

"I like her she's feisty, strong and there ain't no harm in having a little eye candy" Shane says interrupting the conversation cause Daryl to growl at him.

Jim continues to get even more pale

"You saved a grave for me?" He asks

"No one wants that," I reply and he just stares at me "what we want is to get you some help" I say to him and he starts coughing so I hand him over the sick bucket we've got and he spits out blood making my body shiver.

The door of the RV opens and Rick and Daryl come in

"How's he doin'?" Daryl asks

"Not great getting paler by the minute, coughing blood, temperature is getting worse" I tell him as I place the back of my hand on his roasting clammy head and he nods

"Go pack your stuff we'll stay with him" Rick says placing a hand on my shoulder and I nod

(Daryl's pov)
I'm sick a Lori thinkin' she knows shit she don't even realise how much she needs cat or how much she'll ever need cat. This whole group needs her. Rick and I sit with Jim in the RV for a bit while she packs her stuff

"You'll look after her right?" Jim asks his eyes piercing into me

"Yeah we'll look after her" I tell him

"Ya know the name cat is fitting she's cute but fierce but she needs you guys more than you'll know" he warns us and we just nod

"So you'll watch her right?" He asks us

"We will watch her" Rick replies

"She ain't no stray cat no more" I tell him

"Don't let her be, she isn't as tough as you think" Jim tells us

"I think he's goin' loopy" I tell Rick pointing at his head and soon enough we are ready to go but morales and his family choose to stay ain't my business if they think they'll find their family that's on them.
