Angel (Daryl Dixion x Reader)

~45~

   Shane, Daryl, and you go no farther into the prison than the common area before your cell block. Rick was standing by the doors so Michonne could hand him a shirt through the shut jail door leading into A block. He wouldn't go any farther inside and you didn't blame him because, neither would any of you. Not with lil Jude in there whom you could hear giggling and cooing at Beth as she plays with her. You three walk down the steps as Rick shrugs on his flannel. Shane opens his mouth to tell Rick about the other side of the fences when someone yells down the halls leading to the other cell blocks. You all turn as Tyrese approaches, "Rick!" He bellows so loud that you take a step towards him. The bass in his voice told you whatever was wrong was nothing good, and the look on his face was genuine murder which made Daryl subtly grab your forearm. Knowing you were fixing to throw yourself between an enraged Tyrese and your twin. "What is it?" Rick asks as calmly as possible, though his face was immediately worried. "You and Shane- you need to come see this!" He snaps making Shane and Rick give each other cautious confused glances before Rick nods at him. Tyrese just turns on his heel and walks rather quickly towards the tombs. You followed them, whatever had Tyrese this worked up was absolutely nothing good at all. So much for a quite day like you now wished it had of been.. Your husband naturally followed right behind you. Daryl didn't like Tyrese tone at all. You both could smell the trouble and it wasn't gonna be good. Carol meets y'all half way down, stoping dead in her tracks after she glances at Tyrese face. "What's wrong?" She whispers to you as you all pass her. "I don't know.." you tell her quietly as you brush past her. She sighs heavily and follows after you all now as well.

You come to the cells that had been set up for Karen and David and freeze at the sight of the thick blood trails. Then you smell it. Burnt flesh, hair, and cloths.. bodies. Burnt bodies. "What's that smell?" Carol asks as she holds her hand over her nose, trying to find some relief from the eye burning scent. "Burnt person." You tell her before Tyrese kicks the door open and leads your brothers, you, Daryl, and Carol out into the holding area. Carol gasps and your heart drops at the two crispy corpses lying there side by side less than ten feet from the doors. "What the fuck." You state flatly as your gaze snaps to Rick and Shane seriously. Tyrese just stares at Karen's blackened body and Rick and Shane glance at you, then each other. Both of them equally as stunned and now pissed off. "You found them like this?" Shane asks carefully. Tyrese turns his head a bit and shoots your dark eyed brother with a clam seriousness that was kinda scary. "I came to see Karen.." he says lowly as he looks back at her body before pointing to the blood trial. "Then I saw the blood on the floor. And then-... I smelled em'.." he says lowly, that scary ass rage so close to a head you could all but feel it radiating from him. "Somebody dragged them out here and set em' on fire! THEY KILLED EM' AND SET THEM OK FIRE!" He roars as he stares at the bodies. He then turns with a swiftness that had you immediately clenching your fists as he steps up to be a mere inch from Rick's face. You, and Shane both take a step towards them. Ready to grab Tyrese if he swung on Rick. While Daryl did the same, he paced ever so slightly behind your solid stance. Hating you so close to Tyrese like this, almost prepared to kill him if he had to. A genuine predator sizing up a rather large prey. "You're cops." He snaps in Rick's face, then glances to Shane. "You find out who did this and you bring em' to me. You understand? You bring them to me!" Tyrese yells in Ricks face before thumping his closed fist over his chest.

"Tyrese.." you state lowly. As calmly as possible, trying to hide the simmering rage threatening to boil over into your voice. He didn't move from being in Rick's face, and you reach for his arm. "We'll find out who did this." You tried to reassure him as you step to the side to attempt and meet his rage driven sharp gaze that he held on your twin. He jerks his arm from your light grasp as he still stares Rick down making your teeth grit, as well as Shane's, Rick's, and Daryl's. "I need to say it again!?" Tyrese snarls right in Rick's face. Your eyes harden knowing that Tyrese was fixing to snap. Your twin, to his credit just shakes his head, jaw ticking with anger at the close proximity as he answers as calmly as possible, "No." he says lowly. "I know what you're feeling. I've been there. You saw me there- it's dangerous." Rick says as calmly as he can manage. But you could see it. The rage and burning tension in his icy gaze as he keeps stern eye contact with Tyrese. Tyrese eyes juts narrow as he shakes his head, "Karen didn't deserve this! David didn't- Nobody dose!" He roars making you step closer and put an arm out in front of Rick. Not wanting Rick to push Tyrese back in this state, knowing that would end horribly. Tyreses gaze snaps to yours, and his blazing deep chocolate brown eyes that were damn near black with rage, flare. Now seeing the deadly calm look of cold rage in your own hard (e/c) eyes.
