5. The Steeple

o n e h u n d r e d n i n e t y

I'm finally back. 

10 chapters left and I wont lie im sad about finishing this series. 

But I do think I will do one more book that focuses on the spin offs. 

Kind of like her own spin off as well as Daryl. 

The only thing is I don't know how to tie them together yet so I might need some time to work it all out. 

But for now enjoy:)

Finally Theo came to Alexandria.

There were no guards outside the walls, but Theo knew better.

She snuck around the back of the walls, lifting the drainage gate and climbing in where she walked through the flooded sewers, coming up through the manhole in the ground and into her home.

She was in the middle of the street.

Quietly, she ran towards her home.

Her old home.

The one where her and Daryl had spent a lot of their lives together.

She ran to the window and sure enough, Daryl sat in their old living room tied and bound and angry.

Shane in front of him with a smirk as Lance spoke on the radio.

Daryl sat there watching Shane taunt him with horrid words.

"Take that gag off of him, I need him to talk" Lance told Shane just as Daryl caught Theo moving towards the window.

He suppressed his smirk, looking back up at Shane.

"What's Theo's plan Daryl?" Lance began. "Is she planning on taking over the Commonwealth? Is she planning to get her people back to Alexandria, you can tell us" Lance smirked

"I ain't tellin you shit" Daryl spat on the floor.

"I don't think you understand what's going to happen if you refuse to talk, '' Shane began. "Not only will I beat you to the point of death, but I'll find her, I'll make sure she is here to watch you die. But then I'll torture her, make her suffer, make her scream for you to help her, but you wont be there. Because Daryl, you were never part of the plan. She was meant to be where you are now. But she is so driven to protect you, this is probably hurting her more'' Shane smirked.

"You hurt her Shane..."

"You'll what, kill me?" Shane leaned down to his eye level, "You've been telling me that you'll kill me for years, you've had your chance." Shane laughed as Theo snuck through her back door, walking towards the kitchen quickly.

"Tell you what Shane, the only reason I never killed you is because Theo should be the one to do it. So maybe you should thank her for not letting me" Daryl grunted

"I'll be sure to thank her next time I see her" Shane rolled his eyes before sending another punch into Daryl's stomach.

"I need to go, make sure to finish him before I'm back" Lance ordered as he grabbed his things before leaving the house quickly and in a rush.

"I want to kill you so badly Daryl. But I need her to be here for this" Shane taunted as he headed towards the kitchen to grab more torture weapons. "But for her to be here I need you to tell me where the hell she is. And what the hell her plan is"

"You really think I would give my wife up, for you. Do you know her or me at all?" Daryl laughed through the pain.

"That's the thing Daryl, do you think you two would have ever made your lives work if it wasn't for the fact the world we knew is gone? You really think she would be hanging out with a Redneck pussy like you?" Shane taunted. "Well, actually, considering your brother dealt drugs, probably wouldn't have taken her long to find Merle, maybe it would be them shaggin instead huh" Shane taunted. "She only married you Daryl because when women like her want something, they will get it one way or another, you call it marriage, I call it a joke" Shane laughed.
