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

Chapter 8 - Panic

When I woke up, I had a slight headache, but it wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be. Daryl was still asleep beside me, and as I moved to get up, he started to stir.

"Good morning sleeping beauty. " I smiled down at him.

"Fuck off. " he mumbled, he must have been a but more hungover than I, but I could see the smirk forming on his lips. I moved around him to get off of the bed, smelling food.

"I think I smell breakfast. Don't take too long, make sure to get your ass up. But I'm going to get some. " I said, leaving him alone in his room.

When I walked out I was faced with my brother, "oh! Hey Rick. "

"Hey." He smiled at me, "how did you sleep?"

"Oh like a baby" I rolled my eyes, "you look like shit though. "

"And you think you look better? " he asked with a slight smirk. I rolled my eyes as we walked into the dining area, Lori, Carl, Andrea, Dale, and Glenn all sitting out there already.

"Hello." Andrea said lightly to us as we walked in.

"Morning. " I said as I sat down by Glenn.

"Are you guys hungover? Mom said you'd be. " Carl said looking between me and his father.

"Mom, is right" Rick said as he sat down, smiling at Carl.

"Mom has that annoying habit. " Lori said glancing at him as she smirked a bit, eating her bacon.

I looked over at Glenn, who was resting his head against his hand. He definitely had it worse.

"Eggs! Powdered, but- but I do em good. " T-Dog called out as Glenn groaned out in pain. Oh yeah, he had it worse, but it was still fairly amusing. Jacqui came behind him and rubbed his shoulders as he groaned out. "Bet you can't tell," T-Dog continued, "Protein, helps the hangover. " Glenn just groaned again in pain.

"Where'd all this come from?" I asked, holding up a small bottle of pills, seemingly for our headaches, and I was struggling to open it.

"Jenner." Lori said with ease.

"Could you help me please?" I asked sheepishly, handing it to her.

"Yeah." She said, popping it open, and I thanked her lightly. "He thought we could use it. " she replied as she gave one to Rick and me. "Well, some of us at least. " she said glancing at Glenn.

He groaned out again, "don't ever ever ever let me drink again. " I just chuckled, he would probably forget this in the future and go on another drinking frenzy.

By now most had joined us except a few, Shane and Daryl, and I still had no clue where Jenner was. I was still suspicious of him, I only met him yesterday but everyone else seems so comfortable, but something feels off.

Speaking of, Shane walked in. "Hey." He said

"Hey, " me and Rick replied, but I could feel Lori tense. I glanced at her, but brushed it off, looking back up at Shane.

"Feel as bad as I do? " Rick asked his best friend.

"Worse.. " Shane mumbled.

"The hell happened to you? Your neck?" T-Dog asked, and that's when I saw it too, scratches on his neck. I got a shiver down my spine, and glanced at Lori, who refused to look up from her plate.

"I musta done it in my sleep. " he said, shrugging as he sat down.

"Never seen you do that before. " Rick said, and then I caught Lori's eye, and I had a bad feeling. Something happened last night, but I was missing details.
