The Huntress - Daryl Dixon BOOK ONE

Part 30

Alexandria

Daryl was out scouting for other people again so you was once again left, you stood guard at the gate watching over the neighbourhood

Wasn't until I heard yelling and screaming that I hopped down replaced me with someone else and ran towards the noise, seeing Rick and Jessie's husband in a bloody mess fighting, "stop it, stop it right now" Deanna ran up to them, you ran over grabbing Jessie's husband dragging him of Rick, Big Red coming to help me hold him down, deannas people walked towards Rick as he pulled out a gun "or what you will kick me out?" He laughed, you still had ahold of the man not caring enough to learn his name "you can't put this man in jail or kick him out or even kill him for beating his wife and children, because he's our doctor which I know there's another girl in training but I stand up and I try set things straight it's not allowed" you understood where he was coming from you knew why he was mad, these people don't get it they never will.

There was talk going around about Rick getting kicked out at the gathering tonight, after the confrontation Rick was put in a empty house where we all was gathered, "you could have told us all what was happening" you spoke to Rick "how was I meant to tell you about the gun when you wanted this place for yourself... for the children" "yes Rick I did, but you should know me of all people you can talk to we are best friends, you need help I'll help you, but we had to stop being out there we was nearly out there to long Rick" you sigh looking at him "I know Lee and I'm sorry"

The meeting was tonight so we went over it to make sure we knew what we was going with, Daryl still wasn't back and he usually was around now, you hated how he went out without you but you helped out loads around Alexandria with everything and teaching how to track and hunt or some people are learning how to fight, your also being a mother to Judy not so much Carl now he's grown up loads but you couldn't just leave them all the time to help outside, it's not ideal but you was okay with it

The meeting was well under way everyone from our group was giving there opinion on the situation and what ricks done for them " Rick saved me, we met when I was a child he was my bestfriend we didn't see each other for years on end, I jumped infront of a bullet and saved Carl he didn't know it was me and he didn't have to save me and he did, he brought me into his family before he even knew who I was and then after that iv seen him protect everyone he loves, he doesn't mean to be a hard scary asshole, but you guys don't know what you are doing your lucky enough to have been behind these walls the whole time. we haven't we have been out there, and that's why you brought us in, to help and protect you, you can't be mad at him for doing that, if this was the world we once knew Pete wouldn't be getting away with hitting his wife and children just because he's a doctor shit would be done, the villain here is Pete and how you run this Deanna, no one had to fully like Rick but understand the man has been through a lot, and all he's doing is trying to protect you all, we all are" you finished your speech

everyone looking at you silently understanding where you was coming from even jessie smiled over at you, you nodded right before a walker was dropped right infront of you and a blood covered Rick was standing in the light " it got in the gate was open, I didn't let it in it got in and it always will people or walkers because what we have inside is things they want, everything lyric said was true I'm only trying to help you and your going to change to help yourselves" you looked around at the group of people listening intently to Rick slowly nodding " your not one of us. YOUR NOT ONE OF US" Pete came out of the dark with michonne sword, reg tried fighting him for it before Pete sliced his neck open with it, you jumped into action with big red and pinned him to the floor flashbacks from the last time, Deanna was crying harshly to her husband, Pete was putting the blame on Rick, "Rick, do it" Deanna spoke you stood up off Pete letting Rick have room knowing what was coming next, seconds later the trigger was pulled and Pete was dead cries and screams from the people was all that was heard

It wasn't until another voice spoke up that got you out of your trance "Rick" you turned to see another man not knowing who the hell he was, instead the scruffy beautiful face of Daryl came to light as your face lit up and you ran to him jumping in his arms kissing him "dar thank god your okay" he grabbed your face to look at you "I'm okay we got into some trouble but Morgan helped us out" you turned to the guy you know knew was Morgan "thank you" you looked between him and Rick and it clicked "wait your Morgan from the beginning and the one we got our guns from " "that's me, nice to meet you...." "Oh lyric I'm lyric" he smiled "mmm unique I like it, so your the one Daryl kept going on about when stuck in the car" you giggled cuddling into Daryl looking up to see his bright red face "yeah ...yeah I guess I am"
