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

Chapter 31 - Governor

The others sat at a table while they are a breakfast, Beth holding the baby, I was sitting by Daryl, all of us silent.

Before we heard an all to familiar voice ask, "everybody ok?"

"Yeah, we are." Maggie nodded to Rick as he came in.

"What about you?" Hershel asked.

"I cleared out the boiler block." Rick said, looking down.

"How many were there?" Daryl asked from beside me.

"I don't know. A dozen, two dozen." He sighed, "I have to get back, just wanted to check on Carl, and I suppose your keeping y/n in check?"

I rolled my eyes, "yeah Rick."

"Rick, we can handle taking out the bodies." Glenn said, standing up quickly. "You don't have to."

"No, I do." Rick said, before walking up to me and Daryl quickly. "Everyone have a gun and a knife?"

"Yeah, although we are dangerously low on ammo." I sighed.

"Maggie and me were planning on making a run this afternoon." Glenn spoke up. "Found a phone book with some places we can hit, look for bullets and formula."

"We cleared out the generator room." Daryl told Rick. "Axel's there trying to fix it, in case if emergency. We're gonna sweep the lower levels as well."

"Good. Good." Rick nodded, leaving before anyone else was able to say anything.

I looked over at Daryl.

This was going to be, yet another, long day.

God, we've had so many of those, huh?

Hershel had went to go find Rick, and I stayed with Beth, Carl, and the Baby in one of the cells.

"Hey Carl, let's think up some names. Hm?" I said, trying to draw his mind away from his father, and my mind away from my brother. "I love the names you were thinking of but, let's think of one that doesn't cut so deep."

We talked about it back and forth. Before we narrowed it down to about 2 names, and it was up to Carl which one he chose.

Soon though, Daryl took Carl and the other prisoner- Oscar - down to clear some of the lower level. He forced me to stay with Beth and the baby, telling me since no one else was with us I had to keep them safe.

----

They had come back after a while, Hershel holding the baby, and I sat with Carl and Beth.

I watched as Rick came back, and walked to his baby. He gently picked her up, holding her close to him. "Hey..." He said gently as he looked at her, holding her close to him.

Now that Rick was back, I could go down and look for Daryl. Carl TD me where he was, I grabbed my knife and flashlight, and walked down to him, seeing him sitting on the floor, hitting a knife on the ground.

"Daryl? Sweetie?" I whispered softly.

He glanced at me, and nodded to the door in front of him, run showed me the knife. It was Carol's. I nodded, and came and say by him. We watched the door together. then he started pacing in front of the door, and I held still, giving him the space he needed.

Carol was his best friend, they grew close over winter. I also loved Carol so much, she was like a sister to me. If she was behind that door, turned, I don't know how he'd react. I just know if have to be there for him.

He moved the walker that was blocking the door, and flung the door open, and we saw Carol sitting there, weak and on the floor.

We moved quick, and Daryl carried her back to our cell block, me with my knife at the ready incase any stray walkers came our way.
