Him (A Daryl Dixon Fanfic)

Chapter 13: The Prison

Rick woke me and Daryl up early in the morning. We packed our bags last night so we didn't have to this morning. We got up and walked over to the cars.

"Okay," Rick started, "When we get to the prison in going to cut the fence so we can get in. Then everyone goes to the towers and get ready to shoot anything that comes close to Daryl and Ken got it? Everyone with take their towers. Daryl and Ken I'll give you guys the signal and once they start running we start shouting." He finished talking and everyone agreed with the plan.

We all got into our cars and I hopped on the bike with Daryl. We drove off towards the prison.

Once we got there Rick cut the hole in the fence and we all climbed in. Daryl was last after me.

We got in positions and when Rick gave the signal I looked at Daryl and he nodded. We took off. We were almost there when a walker fell on top of me. It knocked my knife out of my hand. This was it I would die like this. My arms started to give out then the walkers body went limp. I pushed it off of me and saw an arrow in its head. I quickly grabbed my knife and kept running.

A bullet grazed my arm hitting the walker next to me. A stinging pain shot through my arm causing me to yelp in pain. I looked up at Carol who looked scared as to what she just did. "WHAT THE HELL CAROL!" I yelled at her she mouthed sorry and I kept running.

Daryl grabbed my hand and held on as I pulled him behind me. We made it to the panel and I pulled the switch. We heard the door start to close slowly. We took out the last of the walkers and everyone yelled in excitement.

I looked at Daryl with wide eyes. I started laughing nervously and wrapped my arms around his neck. He grabbed my hand waist and we hugged for awhile. But so did everyone. Carl climbed down from the tower as came running over to me.

I bent down and hugged him tight never wanting to let go. "We're home Carl."

"I hope so Kenny, I hate running."

"Me too Carl" I pulled out of the hug and gave him a kiss on the forehead. I ran over to T and hugged him. It was a silent hug but it was perfect. I missed talking to T but we didn't need to talk now. He pulled out of the hug and pushed me towards Maggie who had her arms open. I hugged tighter than everyone else.

"We did it." I said to her with a single tear in my eye. "No you did it Ken you did that run." I smiled at her as she wiped the tear from my cheek.

I walked back over to Daryl. He put his arm around my shoulder. "I could get used to this place." I looked up at him and smiled "Me too."

It was still light out so we decided to clear out the cell blocks and find one to sleep in. Me, Rick, T and Maggie would clear out cell block A while everyone else did the rest. Beth stayed with Lori and Carl outside. Carol did too since she wasn't a very good shot.

We cleared the whole block and I thought this one would be good. It had enough cells for all of us and it even had a bathroom and little tables everywhere. Rick came back and so did everyone else. "I think this one is good Rick." He nodded his head walking around.

"I like it we are going to take this one." I smiled and noticed Daryl was gone. "Hey where did Daryl go?"

"Oh we ran into some prisoners so he decided to stake care of em'." I nodded my head slowly. "Can I go help?" I asked eagerly.

"I don't know."

"Pleasseeee?"

"Fine but be careful he's at the last door down the hall."

"Yay thank you!" I left a kiss on his cheek grabbed my gun and began running down the hall. I noticed Daryl almost instantly. I walked up to him and stood next to him pointing my gun at the prisoners with a deadly stare in my eyes.
