Just Another Survival Story (TWD)

Damn straight

A/n: the italics like this is a thought ones like this is a flashback ENJOY!

"He is absolutely amazing," Carol say dreamily. It was early in the morning and I was waiting for my crew to get up.

"Ya talkin' 'bout the rough racist redneck Merle right? Cause I don't know this guy ya speak of," I say earning an elbow to the ribs making me whine. Carol laughs a bit.

"Oh he's just does that for an act but with me," she trails off smiling.

"Ey! Don't leave me here Carol!" I say waving a hand in her face,"have ya talked ta Sophia?"

"Yes last night she asked me when Merle's "goin to grow some balls and ask you out" I couldn't stop laughing she sounded so cocky," Carol giggles.

"Oh good lord that child's turnin' into another me," I say laughing.

"Yeah well all I have to do is wait. Sophia wants him around more and she absolutely loves Daryl," She says looking into the small fire we had made.

"When did they start hangin' out?"

"When he goes hunting she started going with him. Daryl likes her,"

"Now just ta put the pieces all together," I say.

I hear growls and moans we both freeze. I put a finger to my mouth and reach for my hatchet. This sounded more then what we are use to. Shit. I grab Carols shaking hand and squeeze it lightly I move but I stopped when I felt teeth bite down on my shoulder breaking skin. I tore away from the monster and slashed it's head off. Carol had a hand of her mouth I grabbed her hand.

"Trust me," I whisper I put the walkers blood on her. I slip through the tents quietly with her beside me.
Carol was crying looking at my shoulder.

"No, not you no,"Carol sobbed quietly.

"Shh, Carol we gotta get'chya ta the tent alright go!" I said running her towards the tents keeping her by my side slicing walkers heads off left and right.

      I get to her to the Dixons tent and unzip it. I hug her," I love ya yer like my momma I wish I had more time with ya. stay strong Carol," I whisper before I push her in" tell them I'm sorry," I say Carol was about to protest but I closed the tent and grabbed out my gun. I ain't going down with out a fight. I run to the center of camp and started firing shots from my hand gun tears streaming down my face.

"COME AND GET IT ASSHOLES!!" I yelled in rage. My arm burning I run and the walkers follow not to far behind a few stragglers were left but were brought down. I see Shane running to help me but Lori stopped him. For once I'm grateful I let out more shots and kept running I turn into the forest and run through I kept going the fuckers followed me. Before they finally stopped I was a good 4 miles away. Once I see that I was by my self I dropped to the floor panting and tired. I started crying," I'm sorry," I whisper," I'm sorry merle I couldn't keep that promise," I cried. For the rest of the day I just laid there waiting to turn. My body was to weak to get up ,my shoulder burnt and I was missing my family. I missed my little rangers, I missed the redneck assholes, Officer Hoover, Carol,Shane, hell Lori! The breeze suddenly felt good and I felt at peace as my eyes slipped closed.

I'm sorry.

Daryl's POV

      Lori had to talk Shane and Rick out of going after Delilah. Carol confirmed that she was bit the kids were wide eyed shocked. I don't blame them out of all of us Delilah should have been one to be able to live. Merle looks flat out broken hearted  his relationship with Delilah was one of a best-friend would have. He loved her as one and the look on his face even right now shows one that he had when mom died. He hugged Carol and Sophia close to him trying to take comfort in them. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.
