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

Chapter 64 - Never Again

His screams meant two things.

His death. And the deviation from the path the walkers were on.

"Shit, Rick we have to shut him up!" I whisper shouted to him.

"I know, I know." He nodded as we made our way close to him. He picked up his walkie. "Tobin, they're breaking off."

"What do you want us to do?" His voice rang through.

"Fire your guns and draw them back." Rick said sternly as the both of us began to run to the screaming man.

He pulled out his blade, and I grabbed mine. It's days like these where I wished my machete didn't break.

Once we got to Carter, we say a walker stuck on a tree was grabbing him and gnawing on his face. Rick grabbed Carter and three him to the ground while I stabbed the walked in the head to kill it.

He continued to scream in agony, and more and more walkers were deviating towards us.

"OH I'M DEAD!!" Carter screamed out in pain as he held his bleeding cheek.

"Carter- take a breath" Rick tried to calm him down, "Carter!"

"Rick we have to put him down!" I said quickly as I watched walkers through the trees start to make their way to us.

Rick continued to try and quiet the man, before eventually giving up  and stabbing him in the back of the head, killing him instantly.

I let out a breath as one problem was fixed, but now we had another.

The walkers were still coming towards us. But gunfire was starting up and the walkers started to turn back to the path.

Me and Rick looked up to see Morgan by us. His expression wasn't quite readable, but what we did had to be done. Put the poor guy out of his misery, save him and us.

Michonne soon joined us, and I sighed softly, shaking my head a little.

All the walkers turned around and were back on track.

"You got 'em Tobin." Rick said into his walkie.

"Copy that." Tobin's voice replied. "What was that screaming?"

"That was Carter. He got bit. Right in the face. I stopped him." Rick replied into the walkie.

Tobin didn't reply, and Rick grabbed his gun from where it was by the tree, then walked over to Morgan and Michonne. "We have a good hour until we have 'em to green when we hand them off to Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham." He explained to us 3. "Why don't you all head back, tell everyone what's happening? They need to know."

"I'll stay with y-" I started, but Rick cut me off.

"No. You need to go home." He shook his head. "I can't have you over exerting yourself."

I sigh softly, "fine. Fine."

"Ok, Rick I just-" Morgan started but Rick cut him off too.

"Will you do that for me?"

He nodded a bit. Rick pointed up ahead. "I'll take care of that one." My brother said to us. "Michonne, you take point."

We were all quiet for a moment, before Morgan spoke up. "I know it's how it is. I do." He said as he looked at me and Michonne.

"Yeah... I do too." She sighed softly, taking a moment to look at Carter as we heard my brother take down the stray walker, before the 4 of us walked off.

Me and Morgan walked side by side with each other.

"So.. A stick?" I asked as we walked. "Not to judge or anything it's just, I'm used to blades and bullets." I shrug.

"Not everything has to be done with blades and bullets." He looked over at me before back ahead as we walked. "So Rick's your brother?"

"Yeah, he is. A damn good one too." I smile a bit.

"You know.. Back in King County, when him and I first met, he brought up his family. A wife, a kid, and a sister." He looked at me. "I'm glad he found you."

I smile warmly. "Me too."

"How long have you and Daryl been together?" He asked.

That was a tough question. How long had it been? I wanna say maybe a year, maybe over a year. "Well, I'm around 4 or 5 months pregnant, that happened at the prison, and before that we were just hopping from place to place for a few months, and before that was the prison, so I think a little over a year? I'm not super positive though." I shrug a bit. "Time kinda is irrelevant anymore. I only think I'm around 4-5 months because of my size but, hell it could be 6. I'm really not super sure." I sigh a bit.

Morgan nodded. "He seems like a good one. Protector type." He looked at me.

"He is, he's also a big softie, great with kids. Basically loves Judith like his own kid, hell I can imagine him raising her if he had to." I smile.

"Now the soft guy thing does surprise me." Morgan chuckled.

"Oh yeah, big teddy bear. Don't let him know I'm saying all of this though, he will be rightfully pissed." I laugh softly, and Morgan laughs too.

"Yeah, I can imagine. He doesn't seem like the type to be too happy about those things being said about him."

We laughed together again as we walked. Then we fell into a silence.

"So.. You were alone all this time? Why?" I whispered to him.

"Well I wasn't always alone.. I had a few people." He sighed. "First my son, then I was alone and.. Angry. Wanted to kill everything. Then a man caught me. Changed my view on the world. Taught me how to use this stick." Morgan looked at me. "That man was the humanity left in this world. He was a good man."

I nodded in understanding. "We don't seem to have enough of that anymore, huh?"

"No.. No we dont."

As we were walking the worst sound rang out through the trees.

A car horn.

Coming straight from Alexandria. Pulling the back half off the road and towards our home.

Me and Morgan looked at each other.

"Shit... It's home, half a thousand walkers are going straight for home!" I said in a panicked voice, before the two of us began to run.

If the walkers got to Alexandria before us... Who knows what could happen.. What would happen.

I can't let that happen. I will not let our home be taken by these rotting, drooling, disease bearing freaks again.

Never again.
