You and Me (Daryl Dixon x Reader {Ricks Sister})

Chapter 6 - The Next Step

We all woke up early, most didn't sleep at all, and got to work, separating the rotting corpses of the walkers from our own dead. It was a sad sight, so many people, good people, dead. Only person I didn't hate seeing dead was Ed.

Andrea was still by her sister. She didn't move once, no matter how many times we all tried. She would take care of Amy when it was time. When she was ready.

Me and Glenn were busy moving out bodies though, so I didn't get to try and help her. I look up at Glenn, "you know what this means, right? "

"That were no longer safe?" He responded.

"Yeah, were gonna have to head further away from the city. I don't know where to, but.. But we gotta find somewhere. "

Glenn set down the body he was carrying, and took a few shallow breaths, before walking over to me. "Come here. " he said as he pulled me into a hug. "It's gonna be alright, we're gonna figure shit out, and it's all gonna be just fine. I promise." I smiled at him, before looking to my right.

"Shit, Glenn look. " I pointed over to Daryl and Morales, pulling one of our dead into the burn pile. "HEY! DARYL! STOP! " I called, Glenn running up to them.

"What are you guys doing?" Glenn asked as he ran up, "this is for the geeks, our people go over there. " Glenn said.

Daryl rolled his eyes, "what's the difference, they're all infected. "

"Our people go over there! " I said desperately. "they go in that row over there. We don't.. We don't burn them! We bury them.. "

"You understand? Our people go, in that row over there. " Glenn added. Daryl looked like he was about to say something, but changed his mind as he looked at me, and nodded his head, carrying the body to the correct pile.

After a while we all gathered closer to each other as we were picking up the remaining bodies, and I noticed Jim was bleeding, but Jacqui beat me to asking him. "Jim are you.. Bleeding?" Jacqui asked.

"Just got some blood on me from the bodies. "

"No, no that blood is fresh Jim. " I said moving closer. "We're you bit? "

"No I, I just got scratched during the attack. "

"You got bit" Jacqui said as she stood up from the body they were about to move

"No, I'm fine. " Jim said in a chill tone.

"Then show me! " I said, moving closer to him.

He stood, and swallowed hard, "don't tell.. Please don't t-"

"A walker got him! A walker bit Jim!" Jacqui called out, gathering everyone's attention as I nodded. Jim looked at everyone frantically, panicking as he got surrounded.

"Show it to us- show it to us!" Daryl called as he moved closer.

Jim picked up a shovel, holding it defensively as everyone yelled at him to drop it, but T-Dog grabbed him from behind and Daryl ran up, lifting up his shirt to show a bite mark on his stomach.

"I'm ok.. I'm ok.. " Jim said, tears in his eyes. "I'm ok.. " he said again as Daryl backed off and T-Dog dropped him, and he kept repeating it.

We set Jim by the RV while we all gathered in a circle, deciding what to do.

"I say we put a pickaxe through his head, and the dead girls. Be done with it. " Daryl said.

"Is that what you'd want? It it were you? " Shane asked.

"Yeah, and I'd thank you while you did it. " he said, making me scoff.

But, on the other hand, what Daryl was saying did make sense, and Dale seemed to agree.
