The Huntress - Daryl Dixon BOOK ONE

Part 5

  Woods

Lyric was out on the horse looking for Sophia, she had to take it slow due to only being a few days post op but she couldn't have this little girl out here any longer without knowing where she was.

Farm house

Back at the farm Shane was getting the guns back off dale and handing them out to everyone, Rick walked the corner holding onto a zombie with a litter picker "what is that! Urg what is that" Shane's grunts as he runs down towards Rick and Hershel holding the zombies away from themselves "what the hell are you doing" Shane shouted to Rick, "Shane back off" "why do your people have guns" Hershel asked Rick "Hershel if that was a living breathing person would they live after this" he spoke shooting  3 rounds into the zombies chest "Shane stop"

That was what Lyric heard as she galloped back on to the farm, you seen a commotion not knowing what was going on, so you put the horse back in its stables and ran over "hey hey everyone calm down" you shouted "who the fuck are you to tell me what to do, we don't even know you, you came you helped now it's time for you to leave" Shane spat in your face the closer he got, Rick was soon enough in between you and Shane "I said enough" Rick spat at his best friend pushing him away from you, once again jealousy ran through Lori at Rick protecting you "yeah your right man, that is enough" just as he said that he ran towards the barn full of walkers and broke the lock.

waiting for the zombies to pile out, you looked around Hershel and his family on the floor crying, everyone in the group picking up guns other than carol who stood in the back and Lori who held a crying Carl, Daryl was to the side of carol staring at you without you realising it "hey keep him back okay I'll protect you" you smiled to Lori before standing in front, grabbing the gun from your belt and shooting down the walkers.

It all seemed to stop no more walkers walked out, everyone thought it was over but a small groan came from the darkness and tiny hands moved the door to get out, "Sophia" is all you heard from the crying lady running to her baby "sophiaaa, no no no" tears slipped down your face as Daryl caught the lady and held her in a tight hug not wanting her to get herself killed by her own daughter, from the corner of your eye Rick moved forward, you followed, he raised his gun in the air "hey I didn't know her, I'll do it, I know your struggle with this" he sighed looking at you tears falling "thank you" you nodded looked at the sweet little girl you was just out searching for.

raising your gun you whispered "I'm so sorry darling" and shot a bullet through her skull, she dropped in her place, you looked down struggling with the fact she was just a little girl, louder cries from carol came as she fought off Daryl and ran towards the camper van, you walked off needing 5 minutes to yourself to wrap your head around the last week.

An hour later you wonder back, deciding to help the other group members with cleaning and burying there dead "hey we haven't fully met I'm Andrea that is T dog, and Dale" you smiled shaking everyone's hands "hello it's nice to meet you although this world isn't the best to do that now, I'm Lyric" everyone looked at you "that's a very unique name Lyric it's lovely" dale spoke to you "I know it definitely is thank you" you smiled getting to work putting body's on the backs of trucks.

Later Lori came running out the farm house looking for Hershel "what's wrong" Rick asked his wife "Beth's in some state of shock we need Hershel but we can't find him" she said "I have an idea of where he is" Maggie his daughter spoke up, "okay Rick I'll come with help you find him" you spoke up, smiled to you "I'm sure he can do it on his own" Lori snapped you was taken back not sure what got under her skin "I'm sure he can to but we are at the end of the world dead people are walking round munching on anything breathing so back up for your husband won't be a bad idea, we will take Glenn to" Lori stared at you as Rick laughed knowing you have always been strong headed even at 15 "we will be back soon, Maggie if you show me on a map where he would be we will be on our way" Rick spoke walking away, you smiled at everyone and walked with him not getting loris shitty attitude, you jumped in the front "shot gun" you laughed at Glenn.

The bar

You 3 made your way into the closest town where Maggie said her father would probably be, walking into the only bar there you seen Hershel sat drinking "Maggie send you" "Beth collapsed she needs you" he looked at you eyes looking empty "Maggie is there they don't need me they needed to grieve properly and I stopped them from that" you looked to Rick and Glenn before speaking " they will grieve, you cannot blame your self for having faith" .

"Lyric is right you know, no one blames you" Glenn spoke up before Hershel looked at him "Maggie send you to" he chuckled "Glenn offered to come find you because he's a good man, now come on your girls need you, they have already lost there mother and brother today let's bring back there father" Hershel nodded "yeah your right come on"

As they was about to leave 2 dirty men walked into the bar "well holy shit they are alive" the skinnier one of the two spoke "yeah and I'm glad she made it"  the fat one looked you up and down as you cringed, "oh fuck off" you snarled at the man, Rick watching the men and yourself carefully, "now now come on we just want to make friends, I'm Dave and that scrubby looking one is Tony " the skinnier of the two spoke "I'm Rick, that's Hershel, Glenn and Lyric" he spoke pointing at us all, the boys looked at me like I was the only woman they had seen in a long time "you guys got a camp near by, we seen your cars outside clean, not full of stuff you guys look well washed and rested yourself" you looked at Rick as he stared at the men, "yes" the men looked at him "where would that be, is it close, we could follow you in our cars" "yeah I'm sorry boys but that's not happening" you snapped at them

"now come on we are all friends here" "no no we really aren't" Dave got angry stood holding his gun walking towards you behind the counter you however was already holding your gun "don't touch her" glenn spoke up, Tony laughed "we'd do more than touch her" he looked at you as you started to feel sick, showing no weakness though, Dave looked at Rick as Rick looked at Dave, Tony looked at you as you looked at Tony, seconds later it's like you and Rick had the same idea, gun shots where heard in the small bar as both Dave and Tony dropped dead, you breathed out blood splattered on your face as you looked round finding ricks eyes "are you okay" you nodded " it was us or them" shrugged.
