The Huntress - Daryl Dixon BOOK ONE

Part 25

Woods

Morning rolled round you was still cuddled up to Daryl loving how his big arms felt around you, the others were already up and since you and Daryl was on watch most days they thought you needed to catch up on sleep, wasn't until the barn door slammed closed you woke up "hey...everyone....this is Aaron" that was all it took for you and Daryl to get up from your slumber and be on guard guns pointing at the man you didn't know, Daryl walked past him and checked outside nodded his head to say right then was clear.

"We met him outside, he's alone, we took everything" Maggie continued to say Sasha dragging behind her, Daryl frisked him down standing behind him "hi" Aaron spoke and Judy started crying, you walked over and took the baby from ricks hip "its nice to meet you" no one spoke to him Carl and tyreese going through his weapon and bag "he has a camp nearby he wants us to audition" Sasha spoke up your face cringed at the word "does it look like we are a fucking dance group" you snapped at the guy, Daryl snickered and winked in your direction when you looked up at him, "we only dance on Friday nights......it's not a camp it's a community, I'd think you'd all make great contributes but it's not my decision, Sasha can you hand Rick my pack, front pocket theres an envelope with photos" you all looked through the photos, you was wary but a place for the kids to grow up would be amazing and the more and more he would go over it I look at Rick with a maybe look, Aaron kept talking about it when Rick walked up to him and punched him in the face knocking him unconscious

"Just so we are clear that wasn't a punch him look Rick that was a maybe we should see what this is" Rick shrugged "eyes in every direction we need to be prepared" Aaron soon woke up talking more about the community, how hed never seen a group like us who isn't fazed by anything walkers followed us for hours and we didn't flinch we didn't turn on each other when it was tough.

No one knew how many people there was out there with him but he wasn't helping on the number, Glenn took a group to see where his car was parked and what was there whilst Daryl led a group to go round the woods make sure no one was hiding out there, myself Rick Carl and Judith stayed in and watched Aaron.

Judy was crying hungry, "I have apple sauce fresh in my pack" Aaron spoke you got up grabbed it and chucked it to Rick, he walked over to Aaron and made him try it ain't no way my baby would have that without knowing "mama" Judy cried, Rick walked over with the applesauce made clear it was fine for her and you smiled "iv been watching for a while but I still cannot figure you both out, you love each other but not in a way that's romantic, the boy doesn't call you mum but the baby does, and your daddy to both, what is that" you looked at him "because I can clearly see you and crossbow dude are something" you blush as he mentioned Daryl "not that it's any of your business, me and Rick had known each other as kids separated at 15, found each other again when I stop his boy getting shot when this shit began, his wife had the baby died at child birth and I delivered her, these both are my kids, he may not call me mum but I'll always be someone he can look up to and come to when he needs help" Aaron was shocked but he admired that about you "wow your a wonderful woman for doing that" you smiled at the man

The groups came back everything Aaron said was true, Rick didn't want to go his way back so we was going another it was until a ton of walkers stopped our way myself and the kids was in the RV with Daryl and others, Rick was in the car infront with Aaron, we couldn't see them we seen a flare and assumed it was them and drove towards it only this time it wasn't Aaron it was the one other guy he was with he had fallen and broken his ankle "please don't hurt me" you smiled lightly "we won't, let me have a look" you looked at it and nodded "dar pass me the bandages we need to support the ankle until they get back and we can find other stuff" Daryl nodded and done as you asked something he's found himself doing multiple times, not that he minded

Rick and the rest turned up following the whistles made from Daryl "Eric" Aaron shouted as soon as he got back he ran towards him "lyric patched it and said it was broken, I like her" he smiled towards you and smiled back "you won't be sleeping together" Rick spoke out "Rick yes they will, I know your trying to protect us but the man's got a broken ankle not much could happen" you looked at your bestfriend " I will take watch and watch the group nothing will happen" you spoke looking at the group "I'll help to" Daryl stood up next to you " I owe all of you, thank you for looking after Eric, I owe you when we get back to Alexandria"

After a smooth night you all got a head start making your way to Alexandria, re broke down needing another battery Glenn fixed it after learning all his tricks from Dale it really helped "I hope this place is good for the kids" you speak to Daryl, he looked at you admiring your beauty "I hope so to babe" the name still making you blush

Alexandria

You guys rolled up to the gates and they was huge and metal and you thought nothing would ever get through, you looked forward to seeing the inside not believing your eyes "Carl take your sister I'll stand guard, this is knew this maybe safe but we need to protect ourselves", on the inside you heard children squealing and playing "ready" Rick looked at you and Daryl as we all climbed out "yeah let's do this"
