Surviving The Undead: A Southsider's Tale (Daryl Dixon Love Story)

Dixons Comfort

Daryl's POV:

I was walking back into the house and heard the faint sounds of crying.

I figured it could have been anyone due to the events that have just occurred but something was telling me to check on Kimberly.

I walked into her room and she was no where in sight.

I started panicking then checked the bathroom.

She was slumped on the floor having a breakdown.

I rushed over to her and picked her bridal style off the floor and sat on the bed with her on my lap.

"Shhh it's ok Kim." I said while stoking her hair.

"Sophia's gone and she told me she's sorry for not being brave but-but she was so brave." She said through sobs."And Elise, how did she end up here she was with Dom."

"I don't know keeks but think now Sophia isn't scared anymore." I didn't really know how to comfort people and i was just hoping i was saying the right things.

"That's exactly what she said and i-" She cried even harder.

"It's alright we don't have to talk Kim." I continued stroking her hair.

"I should have got there faste-"
I cut her off.

"No, don't be saying shit like that because it will eat you up there was nothing you could do." I said while holding her face so she was looking at me. "There was nothing you could do."

"Why don't you go dry off and get dressed and we can go for a walk?" I said while rubbing circles on her back.

"Ok." She said.

Kim's POV:

I dried myself off and calmed down.

I got dressed into some joggers and a baggy jumper and went pack to Daryl.

"You ready?" He asked.

"Yeah."

I didn't realise how much time had passed because when we got outside everyone was sat by the tents.

"Daryl could you come here quick?" Lip asked.

Daryl looked at me apologetically and i gave him a nod telling him it's fine to go.

I walked back into the house and was met with Hershel getting ready to leave.

I knew exactly what he was doing.

"Give me 5 minutes." I said.

He nodded.

"Hailey, Lilah come here please." I called out.

My girls came running and i took Dasani out of her makeshift crib because she wasn't asleep.

"You wanna go sit with Uncle Glenn for a bit?" I asked.

"Yes!" They said in unison.

I led them over to Glenn and asked him to watch them for an hour so i could clear my head and he happily agreed.

I thanked him and went back to Hershel.

"Hatlins?" I questioned.

He nodded and we set off.

It would be too risky to take a car because the noise would attract the group so we walked through the wooded area and after a tiresome walk we reached the town. And then walked into the bar.

I wrapped my arm around his and placed my head on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry about Annette and Shawn i didn't know Shane could be such a prick." I said while nursing my vodka.

"Language Kimberly, and i'm sorry about Elise."

"I had hope you know that there was a cure but when Shane starting firing rounds i knew i was chasing nothing but a dream." He admitted.

"We got each other now." I said while holding up my bottle.

He held up his glass and we made a toast.

"We got each other."

Lips POV:

I can't believe Elise is gone.

We had our differences but she was still my sister.

I had been deep in thought and decided to go to Kim for a smoke.

I had been searching the farm asking everyone if they had seen her but they all said no.

My nerves were a mess.

I walked over to Daryl to ask him.

Lori was already there and was having a bitching rant.

"How could you be so selfish?" She said.

"Selfish? Listen to me, Olive Oyl. I was out there looking for that
little girl every single day." He yelled. "Don't you tell me about me getting my hands dirty! You want those two idiots? Have a nice ride. I'm done looking for people."

I was quite proud of my friend for sticking up for himself, although i wouldn't expect anything less from him.

"It's not only Hershel who's gone Daryl." She explained.

I made my presence known and nodded at Daryl who returned it.

"Hershel's gone? Where?" I asked.

"Kimberly went with him." Lori said while ignoring my question.

My heart dropped.

Daryl immediately stood up grabbing his crossbow.

"What do you mean Kim's gone?" I was panicking now.

"She asked Glenn to watch the kids while she cleared her head." She explained. "Rick and Glenn have gone to look for them."

"Where's the kids then?" I yelled. "That bastard was supposed to be watching them!"

"Maggie has them."

I fuckin hate Lori she is so selfish and only cares about her self.

Back at the Quarry everyone else was left looking after her kid while she fucked Shane.

Me and Daryl ran over to Mattheo and Jace to tell them about Kim.

"Gone? Gone where?" Theo asked.

"We don't know. All we know is her and Hershel took off." I explained.

The four of us walked to the house and sat waiting for Rick to bring home our girl.

We've got a long night ahead of us.

Rick's POV:

Me and Glenn got to the bar and went in.

We were met with a very emotional Kim crying on Hershel's shoulder.

"Kim, Hershel you ok?" I asked.

"Dad!" Kim yelled while running up to me and embracing me.

I was taken aback by her calling me dad but blamed her actions on the alcohol i could smell on her.

"Glennjamin." She said while clinging onto the man.

Kim sat on Glenns lap with her head on his shoulder while i spoke to Hershel.

It took a lot of talking but i eventually got him to come back.

We were just about to leave when the doors busted open.

"Holy shit they're alive!"...
