Will He Fall?

Chapter 8

Georgia's POV

T-dog and Carol were dead. It hit Daryl pretty hard so I needed to give him some space.

Me Daryl, Carl and Oscar.

"I heard sirons gettin louder..so they jumped on their bikes, see if it wa somethin worth seein. So I ran after em, couldn't keep up. Round the corner saw ma friends look at me and everyone else. There were fire trucks everywhere, people from ma neighborhood, it was my house they were there for. That was my mum in bed. Burnt down to nothin. Thats the hard part. She's just gone. Errased. Nothing left of her. Said it was better tha way. Seemed like it wasnt real ya know."

I bowed my head. That must have been rough. "Shot ma mom. She was out. I ended it. It was real." Carl paused. "Sorry bout your mom"

"Sorry bout yours...c'mon"

We left Daryl on his own, he needed to clear his head. That's when Michonne turned up at the fences with the baby formula.

"Georgia." I heard a loud raspy voice call. "Daryl?" I stood up and turned to him. Carol. She was alive, I think, and in his arms. "Oh my god Carol. I-Is she dead?" He laid her down in her cell. "Nah she's jus weak. Need to find Hershal."

I found him outside and he went in to see her. I needed to help with Michonne first. "How is she?" Hershal was cleaning the blood from her skin and stitching. "She jus needs some rest now, she's gonna be jus fine."

"I got the flash bangs and the tear gas. Don't know what cha might need." Daryl placed them in the car with all the other weapons. "I want to help." He scoffed. "Ye ain't goin Ge." I sighed. "But I can help you." He shook his head.

He went over to Carol. "Stay safe." She was holding Judith in her arms. "Got 9 lives remember." He smiled at her and walked towards the car. A rush of jealousy attacked my heart. "B-bye then." I turned but he grabbed my arm. "I know ye will be safe Ge. I'll don't know when we'll be back, take care of everyone."

I couldn't take it anymore. I threw my arms around Daryl's waist. "You better come back to me. Safe." I mumbled against his chest. He didn't hold me back but instead patted my back. I pulled away and looked at his face. "I always do."

And they were gone. That left me and Carl in charge. Carol was healing pretty fast but we were still weak without the others. They better all come back safe. We can't handle another death. It'll break us. But now we've just got to sit around and wait.

Carl brought back some people. "She's bit. She can't be in here." I yelled. Carl locked them away from us.

Daryl's POV

They captured me and Merle, made us fight to the death. I thought I was dead. I'd never see lil asskicker again, Rick, Carol....Georgia. I needed to get back to her. But I couldn't leave my brother.

Rick saved us. We got out.

We found Merle. My brother he's back. But I'm so pissed at him. It's his fault that we got into this mess. He took Maggie and Glenn, tortured them. We ran back towards the car. "What the hell is he doing here." Glenn yelled directly at Merle. "He tried to kill me." Michonne yelled. "He helped save us." I yelled back. Everyone was just arguing. "Shut up." "Shut up up yerself you bunch of puss-"Rick hit the back of his head knocking him out. "Asshole."

We had a private talk away from Merle and Michonne. "It won't work." "It's gotta, governors probably on his way to the prison right now." I had to defend my brother. "Merle knows how he thinks and we could use the muscle." Maggie and Glenn interupted. "I'm not having him in the prison." I understood but I can't just leave him "He ain't a rapist." "Well his buddy is."
