Broken Wings (Daryl dixon x Reader)

Chapt 9: A night walk

"Shot? What do you mean shot?" Dale asked as we arrived back at camp climbing over the guard rails.

"I don't know, Dale. I wasn't there. All I know is this Chick rode out of nowhere like Zorro on horse and took Lori." Glenn explained breathlessly.

"You let her?" He asked Daryl.

"Climb down out of my asshole man. Rick sent her. She knew Lori's name and Carl's" Daryl said walking off towards the R.V.

"I heard screams was thst you?" Dale asked Andrea. Andrea walked off ignoring Dale.

"She got attacked by a walker" Glenn answered for her. "It was a close call."

"Andrea, are you all right?" Concern written all over his voice.

Andrea only turned looking at him and sighing before going into the R.V. slamming the door behind her.

I sat down beside Carol on the guard rail and Austin leaned against a car

"Carol I know its hard but you should sleep, when we find her, she is gonna need you to have all the energy you can muster. She will be exhausted. We don't need you killing over too" Carol nodded. Sniffing and looking behind her into the woods, as if Sophia is gonna come walking out any moment.

Austin walked off towards the R.V. heading inside.

"Let's get you a change of clothes? Alright? It might help you sleep."

"My baby... I want my baby" Carol said beginning to cry.

"I know, I know you do, we will find her, she could have found a cabin or something and is hiding out there. She has to know we are looking. She may be a little girl, but she knows she is loved meaning that someone is out looking for her." Carol gave me a smile and stood up heading towards the R.V. I didn't go inside, instead I went and sat ontop of a nearby car staring into the woods. It was getting dark now, and I was loosing hope that we would find her, at least find her alive.

"Got you some food, canned soup and crackers" Austin said sliding a plastic bowl towards me with chicken noodle soup in it and some saltine crackers beside it. He climbed ontop of the car with me. I wondered if he was still mad about earlier. I thought it best not to speak up though.

"Thanks," I opened the crackers and started to eat. They were stale but still good.

"I'm sorry if your feelings were hurt earlier. Just want your trust and I feel like you don't care for me like you say."

"I won't do it, we can't just leave" I heard Carol say from below.

"Carol, the group is split. We're scattered and weak" Dale replied as gently as poasible

"What if she comes back and we're not here? It could happen."

"If Sophia found her way back and we were gone, that would be aweful" Andrea said. And she was right it would be.

"Okay, we got to plan for this, I say tomorrow morning is soon enough to pull up stakes. Gives us a chance to rig a big sign, leave her some supplies." Daryl said. "I'll hold here tonight, stay with the R.V."

"If the R.V. is staying I am too" Dale agreed.

"Thank you. Thank you both." Carol said graciously.

"I'm in" Andrea agreed.

"We are too!" Austin said agreeing with the others. I saw Daryl give him a look but quickly turning back around when Glenn spoke up.

"Well, if you're all staying then I'm"

"Not your Glenn" Dale interupted, "You're going. Take Carol's Cherokee."

"Me?" Glenn scoffed, "Why is it always me?"
