Fighting for our Future {TWD Daryl Dixon}

14: Goodnight Love

I couldn't sleep much the next night, because every time I closed my eyes the only thing I saw was Biggy's brain matter splattering all around as he was violently beaten to death. I tried my best to just sleep through that, but that wasn't going to be happening until I somehow get that image out of my head.

I waited patiently for everyone to get up so we could start getting some shit done. We needed to reposition our vehicles so that if we ever needed to escape, we would have a quick and easy getaway. Almost everybody was up now, except for the two love birds who had been on watch all night.

"Where's Maggie and Glenn?" T-Dog asked. I pointed up at the watch tower. "Again?" I laughed.

"Don't worry, when you find a girlfriend you'll understand why they love it up there so much." I wiggled my eyebrows in T's direction. All I received for my comment though was an eye roll and a small punch to the arm.

"Glenn! Maggie!" Daryl yelled in their direction. Not even a full second later we watched Glenn's head pop up, and he raced through the door shirtless while buttoning his pants up. Which is causing all of us with our feet on the ground trouble to hold back laughter.

"Hey, what's up guys?" Glenn called down to us. His face was beat read with embarrassment.

"Ya comin'?"

Since when does Daryl joke like this? It is taking everything in me not to laugh right now.

"What?" Glenn asked.

"Are ya comin?" Daryl please stop. I'm about to piss my pants. "Come on we could use a hand." Oh no, that broke me right there. I could no longer hold back my laughter. Thankfully though I wasn't the only one. We then all started walking towards the cars while Glenn yelled to us that both him and Maggie would be down soon.

After moving all of the cars, T-Dog caught all of our attention when he called out to my father and pointed behind us. I watched as Axel and Oscar rounded the corner into OUR side of the prison. Maybe this is the real reason why they were thrown into cells, trespassing.

In an instant My father started storming up the dirt road, Daryl, T, and I right behind him. On instinct I pulled out my gun, just in case it may be needed.

"That's close enough." My father said calmly but sternly. "We had an agreement."

"Please mister, we know that." Are you sure about that Axel? If you know of the agreement, why the fuck do I have to stand here and stare at your face? "We made a deal, but you gotta understand we can't live in that place for another minute. You follow me? All the bodies, people we knew, blood and brains everywhere... There's ghosts." I tensed as he said 'brains everywhere'. Immediately my mind went to the events that unfolded yesterday.

"Why didn't you move the bodies out?" That is a great question Daryl. Thank you for asking it.

"You should be burning 'em." T added

"We tried. We did." Axel now was upset and honestly sounded offended by the fact that we are asking him to clean up his own damn cell block. We killed them. All they need to do is drag the bodies out and burn them, It's not rocket science people.

"Clearly not hard enough if you're bugging us." I commented.

"The fence is down on the far side of the prison. Every time we drag a body out those things just line up." Oscar tried explaining. "We've just been dropping the bodies and running back inside." Well that doesn't sound like a good idea. They know how to kill the geeks, they should be doing that instead of just running away.

Axel then stepped forward, and I made sure my gun was ready to shoot, just in case I absolutely had to. He then looked up at my father and took a deep breath. "Look, we had nothing to do with Tomas and Andrew. Nothing." What? Who? Oh wait. Creepo and Shorty. I didn't care about learning their names yesterday, and honestly I still don't care to know them. "You proved your point. We'll do whatever it takes to be part of your group . Just please.... please don't make us live in that place."
