The Walking Dead [Daryl Dixon]

Chapter 5 - Earning my place

~Daryl's P.O.V~

"Hey bitch!" I screeched

"Hey asshole" She snapped back

"Get your hands off my bike!" I grabbed her arm that was on the bike handle

"Get your hands off me!" She yelled

"Well get your hands off my damn bike!"

She chucked "Does it say your name on it?"

"It's my damn bike"

"Don't you get it? Nothing is ours here. We don't own anything!" She yelled right back at me

I stood in silence, damn she doesn't give up. It was actually kinda of cute, she is strong. I could tell she was just by what she says, the way she acts. Before I could say a word Rick walked out

"Is everything alright here?" He asked

"Yea, Daryl's just being a jackass" Haley said as she walked away

Rick chuckled

"What's so funny?"

"Looks like she's getting used to you already"

~Haley's P.O.V~

After I walked inside I saw Carl walking into the dark hallways

"Hey Carl" I called out

He turned around "Hey"

"Where are you heading off to?" I asked

"Generator room, some tools I need from there"

"Mind if I join?" I asked

He hesitated, makes sense. Just me and him. He barely knows me. He shook his head after ahwile and I followed him. We walked down the dark hallway, Carl flashed his light as he headed down. We turned and kept turning until we reached a room. He walked in and I'm guessing it was the generator room. He began to gather tools

"Do you know what's up with Daryl?" I asked as I leaned up against the counter

"He's just like that for now, probably because he just met you. He will be nicer once you get to know him"

I nodded "Look Carl I know you don't know me but I'm not a bad person. I'm gonna earn my place here"

He took awhile until he responded "I know, I could tell by looking at you. Your actions. You safe here no matter what"

He accidentally dropped a tool and it made a loud noise. Once he picked it up we heard a noise. It turned around, it was coming from a closet.

"It's probably just a couple walkers" I said as walked closer to the closet "Stay there Carl" I left my bow back in my cell. I grabbed my knife and slowly approached and grabbed the handle raising up my knife. I opened the door slowly but only let one walker out, somehow it was like there was more then one walker. The force was so strong I tried closing the door but they pushed through and the walkers bursted out

"Carl get back!" I ordered as I stabbed one walked in the head. It fell and I kicked another that was coming at me. There must have been like 5 or 6. I kept killing them and Carl helped me using his knife. They were coming all so close as we tried to back away. One knocked Carl down, he tried to get away but the walked grabbed onto his foot. I stabbed the last walker I was dealing with and ran to Carl. The walked was about to take a bite out of him when I grabbed my gun and shot the walked right in the head. I knew I shouldn't have used it but my knife got knocked out of my hand dealing with the last walker I killed. We were panting and breathing heavily

"Are you okay?" I asked as I helped him up

He nodded. I out my gun back and grabbed my knife

"Thanks, that was a close call" Carl said

"How were those in there?" I wondered

"We must have forgotten to check. The last time we came down here we didn't hear anything"

I nodded "Come on let's get back"

We both began to walk back in the hallways. Luckily there were no walkers. Once we walked back into the cell block Rick ran in. I had blood all over me and as well on Carl. There was all eyes on both of us

"What happened? We heard a shot" Rick said

"There were walkers in a closet" I said

"How many?" Glenn asked

"About half a dozen" I commented

"Haley saved my life" Carl said

Rick looked at me and I slightly nodded

He nodded "Get cleaned up"

"There's water out by the back of the prison"

"Thanks Carl" I nodded and walked away. I grabbed clean clothes and walked to the back. I stripped down to my bra and underwear and began pouring water in myself. The water was ice cold as it ran down my body. It felt so good. It had been awhile since I had felt water this nice and cool on me. Once I finished I got dressed in the clean clothes and walked back to my cell. I grabbed my bow and arrow and headed outside. I went to the fence and began killing walkers that were up against the fence

"Do you ever get rest?" Rick said as he approached me

I chuckled "There's always work to do" I stabbed another walker with my knife through the fence

"Haley listen I want to thank you"

I stopped and looked at him

"You save Carl"

"I wasn't going to let him die"

"Looks like you've earned your place here" He smiled

"Thanks Rick"

"Your apart of this group now. Even though it's been almost a week you've done a lot and I know I can trust you"

"I appreciate it"

He nodded and walked away. I continued as I kept killing walkers on the fence. Even though more kept coming I kept killing. It was a way to keep me busy. I glanced at the prison and saw Daryl standing there looking at me. I turned away from him and continued. I liked it here, the first place I really felt comfortable. This is my new home, and people I can trust.

I hope you guys are enjoying it. Trust me there will be more Daryl and Haley scenes ahead!
