Angel (Daryl Dixion x Reader)

~37~

   Your gaze, still locked with this mysterious woman, was strong. She was silently begging you for help, and for some reason she had formula in hand. The basket was from the very same store Maggie and Glenn was supposed to hit earlier this afternoon. So without a second thought, you tear your eyes from her and start for the gate to go help her inside. You run rather quickly as Rick, Beth, Hershel and Daryl still stare at her still, obviously stunned to see her standing there between the walkers. The only one to run to your aid was Carl, but only after he'd handed his sister to Beth. You threw your keys to Carl as you run up, since he was already there waiting very impatiently. Carl unlocks the gate and runs up to where she was less than four feet from him. You watch as she backs up from the two walkers that noticed she was alive, noticing she has a bad limp. She unsheathed a beautiful white handled katana from her back as she steps back from the fence, only to swiftly stab a walker in the face. "Should we help her?" Carl asks you making you give him an obviously look while Rick takes off around the guard tower to come help you two. Carl stands there unsure as she decapitates two more walkers while she limps back slowly realizing she was surrounded. She finally stumbles a bit, only to fall back unconscious, but not before kicking away a walker that she'd grown too weak to take down. Three walkers close around her almost immediately making you raise your gun and fire to take down two while Carl shoots the third. "Carl-" Rick calls to his son making Carl throw the keys at Rick.

"Oh fuck-" you mumble as more walkers come straight for the mystery girl on the ground. You rip the gate open as soon Rick has it undone. Running run out, and firing at the three walkers that were too close to her for your comfort. Kneeling down next to her, you toss her katana back while Carl grabs the dropped basket by the fence and Rick covers you both. You check her body over for bites, finding the wound in her leg that was making her limp. It a gun shot wound. Probably a pistol as it had left a pretty deep slice when it grazed her outer thigh. "Is she bit?" Hershel calls out from behind you, standing right at the open gate now. "Gun shot." You state back as you roll her unconscious form up towards yourself, only to sling her into your shoulders rather easily. You lock eyes with Rick and nod down at the katana less than a foot from you. "Get her sword." You tell Rick as you carry her past him and into the gates, passing everyone swiftly. "Come on!" You usher everyone as you keep a quick pace up the hill. Carl runs past you with the red basket to opens the gate and doors for you. All the while Rick, Shane, and Daryl walk closely behind you, ready to take her if need be.

As soon as your through the doors of the prison, she starts to come too a little bit. "Carl, get a blanket. Beth- some water n a towel." You state a bit out of breathe considering she had to be at least a foot taller than you, there for heavy but not to heavy for you to manage. Carl yanks a blanket out of the pile that you'd all found two days ago, "Here?" He asks you making you nod. He throws it out flat, and you take a knee to gently lay her down as she'd began to drift back into unconsciousness. "She's not coming in the cell block." Rick states making you refrain from rolling your eyes at his obvious statement. Beth taps your shoulder with the water bottle and you take it with a soft thanks towards her. You notice her head moving to the side, obviously fighting for consciousness. "Hey-hey.." You say softly as you unscrew the water bottle and pour some over this mysterious woman's neck and chest. She takes a sharper breath as she turns her head towards your voice. "Easy.. hey it's alright. Your alright.." you tell her softly as she shakes her head and opens her eyes, blinking bit. Her dark eyes dart around confused and scared, "Hey, Hey- look at me. Look at me.." you say as she lifts her arm in defense, only to have you gently knock it down so she didn't swing at you out of fear. Her eyes lock with yours again as you hold your hand up to calm her, "Hey, it's alright.. Who are you?" You ask calmly, but sternly.

She finally comes too more and realizes her situation making her pant slightly as she spots her sword on the ground behind you. Rick, Daryl, and Shane all step for the sword at the same time. "Hey-Hey.." you state as you beat her swift reaching grasp, just to kick the blade farther behind yourself near Shane's feet. "No- No, we're not gonna hurt ya. Not unless you try something stupid first, all right?" You state a little firmer now that she was coherent enough to understand. "Who the hell are ya?" Shane snaps making her gaze turn cold as she glares daggers up at him. You hold your hand behind yourself telling him to zip it, that you had this. Her eyes slowly look back to yours, unsure still, but not as cold. Rick steps around you, making her eyes snap to him, "Wanna tell us your name?" Rick asks coldly from looming behind you. She just glares silently before looking back at you, trying to decide if she trusted you or not. You glance over you shoulder at your twin briefly, and sigh before looking back at her now that she didn't even bother look at any of them. "You wanna tell me your name?" You ask her softly, genuinely curious. She just pants slightly still scared and unsure, only to look down briefly at her leg that had to be throbbing as she held it. You nod a bit and glance at Carl, "Bud, get the basket. Take it inside." You say as you stand slowly, knowing she was nervous with everyone looming over her.  Hershel sits at a table behind you, probably tired from hopping all the way down to the front gates and back.
