I'll Always Find You (A Daryl Dixon X Reader)

CHAPTER 63: Reuniting With An Old Friend

CHARLOTTE'S POV:

Carl and I were on watch duty with Maggie. I stood next to him, behind the wooden pallets using binoculars to check out the surrounding areas. There was a few walkers left around the field, and outside the bordering fence. There hadn't been anything in sight. That was until I watched another walker emerge from the forest. I scrunched my nose and narrowed my eyes to get a better look.

"What is it?" Carl whispered beside me.

"There's something, I think." I whispered back. I focused on the walker coming through. It seemed to have some sort of metal contraption wrapped around it's neck. Then I was quick to notice someone was hiding behind it. "Carl, someone's here." I gasped.

I gave him the binoculars and he began to look in the direction I had been and he released a small breath of air.

"Maggie." He shouted in a small whisper. "Something weird out there."

Maggie looked back at us from her post down below. She turned and put up her rifle and scope taking a look.

"Andrea." She gasped back to us. "Get your Dad and the others."

"Okay." I nodded.

Carl and I ran back inside the prison.

"Mom! Dad!" I yelled as we came running in.

"Dad!" Carl called out.

The others were sitting around the table eating and discussing things as we barged back inside. Their heads whipped up at our calls and they looked at us.

"What's going on?" Mom asked me worriedly.

"Andrea. She's coming through the gates. She's got a walker held by a prod leading her way in." I explained quickly.

Everyone seemed to move in sync. They all jumped up from the table grabbing their guns and weapons before heading outside the cell block towards the main gates.

YOUR POV:

Charlotte and Carl came running inside alerting us to Andrea's presence outside the prison. Each of us quickly got up and armed ourselves with weapons and dashed outside. I followed directly after Rick, with Daryl and Merle right behind us.

"Go." Rick ushered quickly as we hid behind the silver truck.

Merle moved ahead of me with a small nod and I followed behind him.

"Clear!" Merle shouted.

I dashed around him and ran towards the gates with the keys.

"Are you alone?" Rick demanded.

"Open the gate." Andrea called back.

"Are you alone?!" Rick yelled harsher.

"Rick!" Andrea scoffed with a yell. She neared the gate and the walkers in the yard began getting closer to her.

I looked over at Rick and Daryl from their safe spot and nodded at them to allow her inside. I couldn't see anyone else. As soon as Rick nodded I opened up the gates and ran back over into Daryl's arms in the safety of the barricade on the wall.

"Put your hands up!" Rick demanded as she ran inside the gate. Merle quickly shut it for us and Daryl ran around me to lock it back up. "Turn around!"

"What?" Andrea asked breathlessly.

Rick pinned her to the chain link fence and he began to pat her down. A walker moved towards the fence where she was pinned and she started to scream. Rick roughly pulled her away and forced her to her knees on the ground.
