Angel (Daryl Dixion x Reader)

~63~

   You, Deanna, and Rick run all of maybe five steps before the shadow of the falling tower washes over you three. In a flash of nerve rattling terror you leap and tackle both of the to the ground. Everything hits the ground at the same time. You three in a heap of tense fear induced anticipation of being crushed, and the bell tower less than five feet behind you. Metal crunches and screams as it collapses sending a wave of dust rushing. Wood snaps, cracks, and flys while glass shattering rings loudly in your ears. You cover Rick heads with your hand instinctively. Rick's large hands fly over your head in turn before he presses his full weight over you. An instinctive attempt to protect you from flying debris as flecks of wood rain down. You can feel the ground shudder briefly beneath the weight of the towers landing, and when you inhale again. You find your nose and throat scratching with the feeling and scent of dust and dirt. It all happens so fast that when Rick's hand slides off your head, you instantly pop your head up. Half expecting to be dead from getting crushed. However your eyes meet the wide horrified and shocked ice blue eyes of your twin brother. He glances over you, briefly scanning for any injury as you run your gaze over him in turn. He was fine, and so were you miraculously. Rick's eyes snap past you and his eyes damn near bulge out of his skull. Before you can even turn around to see the walkers you could hear approaching you both, Rick rips you up with himself as he scrambles up into a run. "Shit! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!" You exclaim as you run with Rick between the solar panels. Your eyes snap to the side, searching for Deanna who'd you'd realized you'd lost on the way down to the ground. "Everyone! Get back!!" Rick yells at everyone staring in frozen horrified shock at the walkers slowly starting to flood in over the now demolished wall panel. You rip your pistol out and pop three walkers that were headed straight for you and Rick both.

You down two more walkers that had their sights on Tobin who was downed. Only to sigh in brief relief when Rosita and Tara rip him up off the ground and shove him into a run. "Get in your houses! GO!!" Rick roars at them before whirling and firing his colt a few more times. You drop another five or six walkers before Deanna screams your names. You both whirl at the same time going wide eyed to find her running up to both of you instead of away. "You need to get back!" Rick snaps as he fires at the walker he'd seen going for you out of the corner of his eye. "We need to get back!" Deanna argues as she fires her short nosed pistol three times at the same walker. Never once hitting the brain before she runs right up to you and Rick. "Back! Get back!" Deanna shouts at you as you stab another walker in the face that had grabbed your arm. You whirl in time to see Deanna put the muzzle of her gun under a walker's chin that had been reaching at you. She fires and it drops its weight forward onto her. "Deanna!" You yell as another walker grabs her from behind when she goes down. They both fall back and Deanna falls back right onto a circle saw blade. Too weak to hold up the weight of the dead walker in front of her, let alone the living one that drags her down from behind. You stab the walker that bites at her from beneath her body, before ripping the dead walker off her. Then Rick yanks Deanna up off the ground as he glances at you. "Go! RUN!" You yell at Rick who starts dragging Deanna along with him into a messy run. You jog after them, popping off rounds to cover them as you all jog down the street. "Oh god! Oh my god!!" Deanna exclaims as she keeps peeking over her shoulder at the amount of walkers tailing you three. At you covering her and your twin as you all run down the street headed for a house, any house for cover. "Guys!!" Michonne yells as she races up to you three. Carl, Ron, and Gabriel were right on her heels. "Good, your safe- come on!" Rick grounds out as he still drags Deanna who was now bleeding from her leg and side. "We gotta get inside or they're gonna swarm us!" You point out seriously after slamming your now empty clipped pistol down into your gun holster. "I know! I know!" Rick states in frustration as you rip out your military knife. You take down walker after walker with your knife, while Carl and Gabriel wield machete's, and Michonne uses her sword. "There!" Deanna yells and you lunge forward and stab the walker that almost grabs ahold of her. "There!" Deanna yells again, and again. Pointing out walkers that got too close so one of you could slay it. "Oh fuck!" You yell as the walkers cut you all off around a corner and surround you. Suddenly you flinch when gun shots sound off and walkers drop before you all clearing a path forward. Jessie stands there with a pistol and waves all over you over in a panicked hurry. "Come on- I have Judith!!" She screams at you all.
