The Huntress - Daryl Dixon BOOK ONE

Part 18

Prison

You had managed to calm Daryl down after his fight with Merle, you was both sat on the stairs in the cell room just in silence not really knowing what to say to the other, footsteps can be heard running towards us "Andrea.... Andrea is here" Maggie rushed out, we all knew she was alive michonne had mentioned it after Merle told us, she was sleeping with Phillip which made you feel sick at the thought.

We all rushed out going outside everyone had guns I had my bow and pistol Daryl had his cross bow and a spare pistol as well, checking our surroundings Andrea walked up to the gate "are you alone!" Rick shouted out to her "rickkk, open the gate" Andrea was freaking as more walkers walked closer "are you alone" you repeated "yes yes I'm alone" daryl opened the gate Rick grabbed Andrea pushed her against the fence and frisked her down michonne stood and stared her down "welcome back, get up" Rick harshly spoke and dragged her into the cell block we couldn't risk staying outside any longer.

The cell opened, Carol and Andrea hugged each other whilst we all stood round, she looked around asked where Shane was no one answered giving her the answer she didn't want, she looked at Hershel's leg and was shocked "and Lori" that made your head snap up as she looked at Rick his head lowered "she had a girl, Lori didn't survive" Hershel spoke "neither did t dog" Maggie followed, "im so sorry, carl" Andrea looked around and tried walking towards him but you stood in the way stopping her, he clearly doesn't want a hug and to talk about his mum, his not so little hand grabbed your arm.

She was curious where we lived couldn't believe we all live in this small cold dark area, it was the safest thing we could find at the time, she tried walking in and Rick stopped her " I won't allow that" "I'm not the enemy Rick" your blood boiled "your sleeping with him though, we had that field and courtyard until your phyco pervert boyfriend tore it down, shot us up and filled it with walkers, he killed a guy who was here, he was funny one of us" Andrea's face looked shocked "he said you fired first" Rick looked at her "well he's lying" Andrea looked down "I didn't even know you guys where in Woodbury until the shoot out" "that was days ago" Glenn looked at her.

You started not listening fed up of her excuses for her shit boyfriend "why am I the odd man out we left Atlanta together" you tuned back in to listen "he almost killed michonne, he nearly killed Maggie and lyric..." Rick stopped talking, no one wanted to say what he'd done to you "with his finger on the trigger" she pointed at Merle carrying on her speech that did make sense but still "his finger may have been on the trigger for Glenn and Maggie but your boyfriend was the one who raped me" Andrea's eyes widened so wide, not believing what she was hearing a small gasp was heard from behind you, you whipped round only just remembering Carl was there "what" he didn't know for sure if what he thought that meant was it but he couldn't believe it "Carl" you whispered to the boy but he ran into the cell block you closed your eyes and sigh.

Andrea goes on about how we need to settle this and sort it out and move to Woodbury, we didn't want that we didn't like him I wanted him dead for what he's done, he's gearing up for war training kids, she wouldn't let us in side to killl Phillip his real name was, she walked out with michonne, you walked to Carl "hey" "I....i can't believe you went through that" you tightly smiled "I'm okay Carl it's done I'll be fine, as long as I have you Judy your dad and Daryl and the rest of this group I'll be absolutely fine" he cried into your shoulder "come on I'm fine" " I love you Carl" he kissed your cheek " I love you Lee"

We was all in the cell block, I was still watching Andrea, it wasn't until Carol walked up with Judy that I finally snapped "don't!" shock hit everyone's face as I ran up the stairs stopping Carol give Judith to Andrea, "don't touch her" Rick watched understanding what you was doing Carl opened his cell and watched, you took the baby from Carol so she couldn't pass her "she isn't your baby" your head snapped to Andrea ready to defend yourself " that woman helped bring that baby into this world and has been a mother ever since, even after what  Phillip done she looked after her, that is her baby as much as it is mine, and if she doesn't want you or anyone else to hold her she doesn't need to" Rick spoke up no one expected it, but you was extremely grateful as you glared at Andrea.

"You both have become cold" Andrea spoke directing it toward your and Rick "and they have every reason so be" Daryl spoke up now standing behind you the heat from his body made you relax until his hand snuck its way on your hip and you tensed as butterflies erupted in your stomach, god one touch from this man and your finished.

You opened the gates to let the car Andrea was taking home come through, she looked around the group avoided my eye sight, "well, take care" she spoke out getting into the car and driving away, you all walked to the fence watching her, Daryl once again came up and slightly touched your hip, you noticed he'd been doing it a lot more lately, you didn't mind but you was wondering why and the feelings that came with it from you wasn't helping.
