The Huntress - Daryl Dixon BOOK ONE

Part 34

On the road

"Finally I'm out of that place" you grinned as the others smiled towards you "yes alright I'm sorry for always leaving you home with the kids your more than capable of being the leader here" "don't you bloody know it Riki"

Soon after that a crash was seen turns out it was Jesus crew we didn't know if it was a trap but went with it having people on guard, I stayed back to watch over Jesus as the others went "sooooo, you and Daryl" you looked at the man with curious eyes "yes..." " but also you and Rick" you wasn't shocked it's confusing nearly everyone you came across had the same questions "what no" "but the baby, the boy" he looked at you " I hate to say they ain't mine but they ain't not really, they are ricks and his wife's" he nodded "and you took them on" he smiled at you

"well carl was still a preteen and I delivered Judith that was when Lori died, so I just stepped up they needed someone and I was ricks childhood bestfriend so it made sense" "so Judith calls you mum what about Carl" you shook your head "no but iv always told him I'm in no way trying to replace his mum I'm just here if he needs me, I'm all Judith has ever know but I don't expect Carl to call me anything other than lyric or Lee" you smiled at Jesus now thinking of your kids " so you and Daryl are serious" he questioned you seen the way he looked at you, you knew he liked you in some way but you was all for Daryl " I love that man Jesus" he nodded "I'm sorry your just very pretty" "thank you, don't be sorry, I appreciate it but just know my man will rip your arms off if you try anything he already doesn't really like you" you both now laugh "no point taken, no means no I know"

Hilltop

The others came back people from Jesus group was hurt, you all got in the rv and carried on towards Jesus community "were stuck" Rick spoke "no worries we are here thats us that's the hilltop" you all walked towards the fence guns drawn as someone shouted "stop right there" "drop your weapons if you want to come in" "come down here and get them" Daryl ruffed out, it took all of a few minutes for Jesus to sort the problem and we was walking through towards the big house

Walking into the main house you all admired the space it was so beautiful, "Jesus your back and with guest" "everyone this is Gregory" he looked like a jack ass " I'm the boss" yep he was a jackass "I'm Rick, we have a community" "why don't y'all go get cleaned up hmm" what a rude prick you thought, "we're fine" "Jesus can show you the washroom" we all glared at Gregory as we followed after Jesus "Maggie you and lyric will talk to Gregory" your head snapped towards Rick "why" Maggie replies "I shouldn't" was all Rick said.

"Natalie and Lucy right" Gregory spoke already boiling your blood " Maggie" "lyric" you snapped back at him "pretty close" he smirked over to you "no it really isn't" "she calls it how she sees it, come let's chat" the whole time he done your head in, he really thought he was something special, all because people follow him but from the looks of things he's actually no help round here "you don't have shit and I'm happy to help I'm a nice guy but I can't just give away things for free"

you crossed your arms and stared at him as he went on about us working here for them "your both beautiful smart woman, I tell ya I can make it worth your while" "let me stop you right there" Maggie leaned forward "listen honey" he tried to patronise her "stop comming on to us and calling us honey, you don't have any ammunition, your low on medication, you need things we need things" you glared at the man "what are you gunna give us a bottle of aspirin and a box of bullets" you was getting pissed off with how this man was treating you both talking to you like you was children "thank you Natalie" he looked over to you wary of the looks you had been giving him "lucy, good talk"

Rick Daryl and big red talked to Jesus about our conversation with Gregory as we all sat and listened he has promised to sort something for us, a guy barged through the doors "there back" you all followed the men outside walking towards others that had just walked through the gate, "where's Tim and marsha" "they're dead" the unknown man spoke "Negan?" At that name Daryl became rigid and paid more attention "he said it wasn't enough, was the drop light? They still have Craig" the others went on " they said he'd keep him alive if I deliver a message to you, I'm sorry"

with that the guy stabbed Gregory everyone bolted into action fighting the guys, one guy was on Rick so fast but you was there quickly throwing your foot in the air you kicked him in the chest knocking him on the floor, another man came up behind you ready to attack but big red stood flew himself on the guy and floored him, you was suddenly knocked onto the floor being strangled, your face went red as your breathing became hard, Daryl came up to the guy grabbed his arm and snapped it "get the fuck off her" he yelled at the guy and threw him in the floor helping you up, holding your face as you caught your breath "are you okay, are you okay" he spoke softly to you, Glenn had managed to get shit to stop for a second the other guy seconds away from killing Rick, "drop it" michonne come up to him but before he could Rick had already stabbed him in the neck bleeding out all over him.

"Nathan you killed him" some girl came up to Rick and punched him, you was fast and punched her back knocking her on the floor, weapons soon after was drawn Jesus in between us and his group telling us all to stop it "things aren't as simple as they seem just give me some time" Jesus walked off with them last words, you walked over to big red "hey red you okay man" he smiled up at you " yeah little Lee I'm dandy" you held your hand out " come on" you helped him up
