Fuck You, Dixon! (Daryl Dixon x reader)

Chapter 96: Infected

A/N: Song is Superhero by Falling In Reverse.

------------------------------------------------------------

I quickly, well, as quickly as I could, after being thrown around by Daryl, ran after both him and Glenn into the prison.

Glenn was completely frazzled in a panic, his eyes darting everywhere whilst he speedily briefed us on what exactly was going on, even though, from the sounds of it, he didn't know all too much either.

Though...what he said...it was concerning.

Somehow, one of the residents must have turned in the night, then began to feast on others who hadn't closed their cell doors. According to Glenn, some had been completely ripped apart and feasted on whilst others...others survived and got bit, or some even died and turned...

Either way, regardless of how it started, the result now was that the prison was in complete turmoil, with walkers and infected people roaming the halls...

I did have an idea on how all this started though, and so did Hershel and Dr S from the sounds of what Glenn was telling us.

Rick had found a puddle of blood in the showers, along with a trail that led all the way to a turned Patrick, who was feasting on an unsuspecting resident.

Patrick was a kid. He never left the prison, let alone had a chance to get bit without knowledge. However, he was one of the ones who were sick...and the fact that he was just a kid...the sickness probably hit him harder...

Whatever this sickness was...whatever he had...it must've got the better of him. He must have died, then came back as a walker...

Now, that wouldn't be too much of a problem...if so many people weren't infected with it in the first place...not to mention we didn't even know what they had...

So many people were just as sick as Patrick was, and if they had died too...the prison...

I really hope that isn't the case...

Glenn split from Daryl and I, and went back to C block to rejoin Maggie and help her, as well as Rick, clear it.

Glenn had told us our original group, along with Tyrese and Sasha, had been split into different blocks to deal with this outbreak. Daryl and I were told to go to block D, where T-dog was waiting for backup.

Daryl and I swiftly made our way through the prison, making sure to lock and close any open doors we came across, as well as kill any walkers roaming the halls.

Daryl kicked a walker down before smashing its head in with his boot, then he turned to me with narrowed eyes.
"Stay close, we're just round the corner now."
I nodded as I scanned our surroundings.
"Wasn't planning on wandering..."
"Good."
He threw me his crossbow, which took me off guard, but I quickly caught.
I raised a brow.
"Why are you-"
He threw me the bolts, which I also quickly caught, then he scowled.
"Ya ain't fightin' hand to hand."
He pointed at me sternly.
"Take it and stay behind me."
I parted my lips, then smirked, slightly amused.
"I finally get another go on the crossbow, huh?"
I aimed it at him and grinned.
"Finally."
He scowled at me.
"You break it-"
I smirked and lowered it, before nudging him as I walked past.
"Yeah, yeah. I won't break your precious baby."
He grumbled and rushed after me.
"Fuck did I just say to you!?"
I looked over my shoulder, an amused expression on my face.
"Don't break it."
He grumbled as he caught up and took my side, turning my head to face in front of me.
"Smartass."
He eyed me with narrowed eyes.
"I said stay behind me."
I rolled my eyes, but nodded.
"Alright, alright."
I offered him a softer look.
"I'll be careful, don't worry."
He scowled at me.
"You better."
