bound by fate

Part VIII

+Daryl's POV+
I was walking back to the tent because I wanted to check Rosalie was okay after what happened at the camp.I had a bruise forming on my face.I would say it hurt like hell,because it does.But Dixons can't show pain like that.I wish we found Merle,now i'm thinking about it.We wasn't always on the best of terms,but I miss him.I really do.Although I don't think he would be any better than Shane in this situation.Thinking back to Rosalie,I realise how much she's been through and I start to feel bad.I was getting closer to our tent now,and I started hearing sobs and whimpers,so I quickened my pace to see what was happening.Then I realised it was coming from our tent.I unzipped the zip to the opening slowly,trying to not make too much noise.I peek my head in to see a topless Rosalie being pinned down to the floor and choked by a seemingly very lustfilled Shane.When it finally clicks in my head,I lunge at Shane.I punch him straight in the jaw,and he falls to the floor.I pin him down,punching him in the face repeatedly.It's what he deserves.I can't believe he did that.After a few more punches,he bucks his hips,making me fall off of him.He punches me in the neck,making me choke on air for a few seconds,coughing trying to bring myself back but I see his fist come flying at my face.It hits me right in my left eye.That's when I got filled with anger.I pulled his hair,dragging him out of the tent.I kicked him to the floor.I stomped on his ankles and wrists making sure he wouldn't get up.I started shouting in his face."You like touching women?!Huh?Is that what you like,you disgusting bastard?!"I kept shouting at him.A crowd started to appear from within the trees.They ran at me,trying to get me off him."NO!He touched her!He tried raping her!He deserves what he gets.Let go of me!I swear I'll bleed you dry,you monster!"I kept on screaming.I see Carol run into the tent,and hear a gasp.People try looking in,but instead of lunging at Shane,my interest was now at stopping people from seeing her."Move away now.You don't need to see what happened.This stays between me and Carol,nobody else needs to see."I shouted at them,hoping it would be enough for them to walk off.Some did,but most stayed."Did ya not hear me?!GET OUT."I screamed.I threw my crossbow into the crowd,hoping it would make them leave.When people saw how determined I genuinely was,they started leaving.Rick and T-dog picked an unconscious Shane up,carrying him towards the main area of the camp.I go back into the tent to see a now awake Rosalie hugging Carol,they was both crying.Rosalie was now covered with some blankets that was originally in the corner.I walked in,"I'm sorry I know ya probably don't want to be seeing me of all people right now.But I am so sorry this happened,I won't let him touch ya again.I mean it.If he even dares to try get a glimpse of ya,he will be in the ground."I said,anger filling me again.She hugged me,"I know what you did for me.Carol told me.I'm so glad you got here in time.I really could never thank you enough."She said inbetween sobs.I froze when I felt her put her arms around me.I wasn't a fan of psychical touch,to say the least.Carol looked at me and I knew in that moment,she needed comfort.I sat down,getting more comfortable,I dragged her down with me.I pushed her head gently onto my shoulder,to hug her.I wrapped a blanket around us,so she wouldn't get cold.In that moment,nothing mattered except her being okay.Why did I care this much for a girl?
