Mi Amor ~ Daryl Dixon

Chapter Thirty-One

"I could use a vacation." Adrianna joked. "A getaway. Just the weekend." Daryl and her let out a chuckle.

It was a few days later and everyone was recovering from the sickness. The ones that were ill had to take it easy on their body for the rest of the week.

"You know our anniversary is coming up." He says looking down at her.

"It is?"

"One of these days." He looked to her with a smile and they laughed. "We should go back to Amicalola falls. You remember it?"

"Mhhm." She smiled at the memories. "When we were up there at the top looking down, I felt like I was flying."

"I'll go load up the station wagon." He joked.

She let out a laugh and pulled him down to her. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her neck. "Ima get you some water." He grumbled out against her skin.

"I can get up." She countered.

"I know, but I'm doing it." He pressed another kiss to her neck. "I'll be right back." He says and exits the cell leaving Adrianna with a smile on her face.

Boom

Adrianna shot up from her spot when a loud bomb like sound shook the prison. She ran out of the cell block as fast as she could, ignoring the dizziness that occurred.

Swinging the door to the outside open, Rick, Daryl and some other ran past. "Get back!" Rick yelled to the people by the fence.

They looked huddled by an armored part of the fence and looked out. There stood the governor with an army of people and a tank "Rick! Come down here!" The familiar voice of the governor boomed out. Chills were sent up Adrianna's spine and she took a step back. "We need to talk!" The governor yelled again.

"It's not up to me!" Rick yelled back. "There's a council now, they run this place!"

The governor took a moment before nodding to an armed woman. "Hershel on the council?" The lady pulled Hershel's tied up figure out of a car. Beth and Maggie let out a loud gasp at the sight.

"How about Michonne?" The lady then ushered out a tied up Michonne. "She on the council too?"

"I don't make decisions anymore!" Rick snarled back.

"You're making the decisions today Rick!" One of his people made Hershel and Michonne take a kneel.
"Come down here and let's have that talk!"

Rick looked to Daryl and Adrianna, they gave a reassuring nod. After all the time he took off, it was time to step up. They needed him to step up.

He moved to a worried Carl. "We can do this, all right?" He squeezes his shoulder and Carl nods.

Rick took a quick stand and walked over to the gate.

With a nod to Daryl, he opened and closed it behind him. Rick kept his eyes fixated on the dangerous group ahead as he made his way down the path.

"We can't take them all on. We'll go through the admin building into the woods like we planned. We ain't got the numbers no more." Daryl whispered to the group outside. "When's the last time someone checked the stash on the bus?"

"Day before we hit the big spot." Sasha said. "We were running low on rations then, we're lower now."

"Yeah, we'll manage. Things go south, everyone heads for that bus. Let everyone know." He tells her.

"What if everybody doesn't know when things go bad?" Tyreese took a quick Look to the field. "How long do we wait?" Panic was forming within them.

"As long as we can."
