Daryl Dixon fanfiction

Welcome Home

As Spencer held onto me I made sure to keep aware of my surroundings, making sure I hadn't got the wrong impression about this place being safe. As we get to the gate he shakes the front and steps up to it. "Hey it's me Spencer, let me in, I also have a wounded person, already took care of her weapons, not a bite." After a few moments the gate gets pulled open by a young girl, who looked in her mid-20's, she gave me a quick smile before ushering us in and closing the gate behind us. "Hi, I'm Annie." She said, almost fearfully as she pushed out her hand, I smiled back and shook it, bracing onto Spencer "I'm y/n, it's nice to meet you, thank you for letting me in." I say to address both of them before we turn around and Spencer starts walking us towards one of the houses.

I keep my eyes peeled as people look at me with uncertainty and a slight fear as we go down the street. I feel tears form in my eyes as I grip onto Spencer harder and my ankle tries to give out. "I'm so sorry to be this person but how much longer Spencer?" I say, almost out of breath as I stop us in our tracks, "just this next house, are you alright?" He asks, holding me up before an older woman swings out of the house across the street and quickly towards us, "Who is this Spencer?? We aren't supposed to bring people in without it being approved by the council, where is your head? She could be dang-" he clears his throat and holds his hand up. "Mom, Aaron is out there right now recruiting people that he says are safe but we have no idea, this girl needs help and I have her weapons right here," he hands her my bag and I cringe,knowing everything I own is in it, "I'm taking her to the infirmary, then if she can't stay, that's fine, but she needs our help." He says sternly before grabbing me back up and continuing to the infirmary.

We get there after what feels like forever and he helps me get onto a bed before the doctor comes in, his eyes are tired and he gives me and Spencer a weary smile. "Hello, I'm Dr. Pete, and you are?" He starts taking my blood pressure and vitals before almost immediately hooking me up to an IV after examining me. "I'm y/n, I think I've sprained or twisted my ankle, I can't walk on it anymore." I say quietly as he looks at it in shock. "How long has it been like this? How long have you been out there lil' missy?" He takes off my shoe and examines it more, after a little while of explanation and small talk after Spencer's mom came in I learned that my ankle was broken and that I was allowed to stay, 2 very deeply wonderful things.

I wake up the next morning to Deanna coming into the infirmary with a welcome breakfast and I smile, rubbing my eyes as she checks my pulse and IV. "Good morning y/n, I wanted to let you know that there is a selection of houses that you can choose from, as soon as you're feeling up to it of course, and Pete said he's gonna get you some crutches before long so you can be up and about, but please don't rush yourself." She says before grabbing my shoulder reassuringly and leaves, leaving me alone as I eat my breakfast and look out the window, seeing kids playing and enjoying the sunny outside and realizing that these people had no idea what went on beyond these walls.
