The farmers Daughter[Daryl Dixon]

Chapter forty-Four"Me The leader"

I woke up looking around the room turns out my stitches opened and I was bleeding out and lost a whole lot of blood"Hey"I looked up and Saw Daryl"Leave me alone"He sighed and looked down"I knew I wouldn't get away with this but I'm sorry I made a mistake"I glared up at him

"You you made the same mistake twice"He bite the inside of his cheek"You know what they say Three strikes you out I haven't had that third one yet"I sat up slowly and ground"Easy Thena"I looked up at him"Dont call me that"I looked our of the cell and them down"Okay Athena"He said standing up from the bed

"I love you"I looked down at his words"Athena I messed up and I will do anything to gain your trust again"I sighed just as Glenn walked in"Rick wants to have a meeting"I looked up at Glenn and smiled"Hey you"I said Daryl sighed and walked out of the room"I heard my thena was back"Glenn said leaning on the door frame

"Getting there"I said honestly holding my shoulders"gave us a scare"I looked up at him"Im sorry"He shruged and walked over to me placing a kiss on my head"Dont worry about it"I smiled up at him"GLENN"I heard Rick yell"Go I'll be fine"He nodded"ill be back latter"I put my hands on under my pellow and closed my eyes

I was happy Daryl back and I understand why he left now but it still hurt Me more ways then one"we ain't leaving"I opened my eyes as I heard Rick"We can stay here"Daddy said I closed my eyes again"what if there's another sniper a wood pallet won't stop one of those rounds"I bit my lip as I thought about Axel he was a good man I didn't talk to him really but Carol liked him

"We can't even go outside"I sat up slowly and stood up almost falling over but I held myself and walked out of my cell I stood next to Beth who was up on the second level next to Daryl"not in the daylight"Carol added I felt eyes on me and looked over at Daryl who was eyeing Me he softly smiled at me

"Rick says we're not running we're not running"I shook my head"No better to live like rats"I looked over at Merle who was in the other room"Fuck you Merle"Merle looked up at me with a smile and I just flipped him off"You got a better idea"Rick said trying to get back to what we were talking about

"Yeah we should have slid out of here last night and lived to fight another day"I scoffed at him and shook my head"but we lost that window didn't we"I would love to best Merles ass right not but I'm so sore it's nor even funny my shoulder hurts like a bitch

"I'm sure he's got scouts on every road out of this place by now"I glared down at Merle"we ain't scared of that prick"Daryl said walking closer to Merle he was still on the uper level"you all should be that truck through the fence thing"I looked down and tapped my hand on the railing

"That's just him ringing the doorbell we might have some thick wall to hide behind but he's got the guns and the numbers"Yeah well there's just one little thing he dosant know he's messing with the weong people"and if he takes the high ground around this place shoot he could just starve us out if he wanted to"I rolled my eyes at him"Lets put him in the other cell block"I agreed with Maggie

"No he got a point"Of course Daryl would side worh Merle its always Merle"THIS IS ALL YOU YOU STARTED THIS!"I shook my head and started walking down the stairs Bethy ran past Me

  "What's the difference whoae fault it is"Bethy said walking down the steps with me"She right The real question is what do we do about it"I said making all eyes look at me

  "I said we should leave"Daddy said at the end of the stairs"Now Axels dead"I wasn't sure what we should do all I know is I didn't want anyone do die

  "We can't just sit here"I took a deep breath and nodded if leaving is what it takes to keep my family alive then we will leave"I agree with my Dad Rick"Rick looked back uo at me next to Beth

  He started to walk away and that when My dad got up and followed"GET BACK HERE!"I jumped slightly I never liked hearing my dad yell

  Rick stopped and my dad made his way up to Rick"your slipping Rick we've all seen it"I feel so bad for him he lost his wife I would probably be in the same boat if I lost my sister or my daddy

  "We all understand why but now is not the time"now is not the time my dad's right about that one"you once said this isn't a democracy"My daddy still raised his voice

  I closed my eyes and pictured the time he had sais that Lori was still alive and we had just found out about Shane me and Daryl were as perfect as we could be I remember the sex we had before Rick had his little speech by the fire

  "Now you have to own up to that"Daddy yelled nocking me out of my thoughts"I put my family's life in your hands"He did he started trusting Rick with us

  "So get your head clear"Daddy lowered his voice slightly"and do something"I watched as Rick walked away making me sigh"you okay"Bethy asked looking over st me

I nodded wirh a smile"Just fine"I was pissed at Rick and I figured I was gonna go talk to him I walked down the ladder and walked to the door he disappeared to but ran into Carl standing in front of me

  "I just talked to him"He said with a smile"Is he okay"Carl nodded looking back"Yeah mom he's okay I just asked him to stand down on being the leader"

  I think that might achully be a good idea I nodded"Thats smart he needs time to get his head clear"Carl nodded"Hes in the lookout if you want to talk to him"I looked down at him

"Okay I'll be back bud"I walked passed him and Into the look out"Rick"He turned his had back holding binoculars

  "Hey"I smiled and walked up to him looking out at all the walkers"Did Carl send you"I shook my head no"Nah I came on my own"

  He nodded"He asked me to step down what do you think"He asked looking over at me"I think yiu need a break for a little while at least everyone inside will take care of everything"I said making him smile and look down

  "I just thought of something"He asked looking up"whats that?"I questioned my eyebrow raised"Why don't you be the leader Intel I'm back at it"my eyes went wide

Was I really ready for that"Me The leader why me Rick"He smiled looking at me with a look that I couldn't describe"every time a problem goes wrong you make the right choices"

  Do I I never even realized"so will you do it will you be the leader"I bit my lip and nodded"I will"He smiled and looked back out at the walkers"So boss what do we do about this"He asked glancing at me

  I licked my lips with thought"we leave and save are people we save Carl"He looked over at me and nodded"Then we leave"
