My Fallen Angel (Daryl Dixon Love Story)

Chapter One: New Guy?

Alright here is the next chapter I am really excited so please let me know what I can do to make his better and just let me know how I'm doing.

Story time:

A couple hours later I'm distracted from my book by a car alarm. I run out of my tent to see the others gathering around the RV. "What is it Dale, talk to me?" Shane yells at him.

"Is it them? Are they ok?" Amy asks.

"Well, I'll be damn..." Dale says.

"What is it?" Shane asks.

"A stolen car is my guess." Dale answers.

"Does that count these days?" I laugh out.

The red sports car pulls up and I see a grinning Glenn get out. I run up and hug him. As Amy bugs about Andrea."Where are the others?" I ask him. "Yes, Andrea is fine! Everybody is, well not Merle so much..." I raise my eyebrows at him but Shane interrupts my forming questions.

"Are you crazy? Driving this wailing bastard up here? Are you trying to draw every walker for miles?" He shouts at Glenn, as he pulls the battery wires out.

"I think we're okay," Dale says.

Shane scowls at him. "You call being stupid okay."

"Well, the alarm was echoing all over these hills. Hard to pinpoint the source. I'm not arguing, I'm just saying. It wouldn't hurt you to think things through a little more carefully next time would it?"Dale answers looking between the two.

"Sorry, I got a cool car." Glenn smiles.

I laugh. "Oh it's gorgeous, but still not a 1969 Shelby GT500 Mustang ."

"You know cars?" Glenn looks at me.

I was about to answer when the cube van pulls up. Andrea comes out I smile at her as she runs to her sister tearfully. Morales then reunites with his family. T-Dog and Jacqui say hi to me. "Glad you guys are safe." I say.

"Me too. Wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the new guy." T-Dog says.

"New guy?" Shane asks suspiciously.

"Yeah, crazy vato just got into town. Hey, helicopter boy come say hello." Morales says and yells at the van.

As I turn to see the new person I freeze. It can be, he's dead, what the fuck? How?

"Dad!" Carl yells hugging Rick.

Rick hugs Carl and picks him up as he walks to Lori kisses her. He hugs her tight then sees me. Rick puts Carl down and approaches me. I don't realize I'm crying till he opens his arms to give me a hug and I run into him.

"How?" I pull away from him slightly. He just wipes some of my tears away smiling at me. How is this possible? You're dead, am I dreaming? Shane said you were dead. SHANE!

"Shane you said he was dead, you lied?" I rounded on Shane in anger.

"I thought he was, I put my head to his chest, heard nothing, the electric in the hospital was all off. I thought he died." Shane answers worry on his face.

"Hey its okay, it's not his fault. Calm down, Sis." Rick says rubbing my back I nod and hug him again.

I have my brother back. Oh, thank you, Lord and Lady! Thank you!

Were all now sitting around a fire, I keep glancing towards Rick afraid that at one point I'm going to wake up and he's going to be gone.

Rick had told his story of waking up in the hospital and find out about the zombie apocalypse.

Everyone let the horrible story sink in then Dale cleared his throat. "Have you given any thought to Daryl? He won't be happy to hear his brother was left behind. "

Oh god, Daryl is going to kill my brother for what he did. I think guiltily.

"I'll tell him. I dropped the key it's on me." T-Dog answers frowning.

"I cuffed him, that makes it mine." Rick argues.

Glenn jumps in. "Guys it's not a competition, I'm not trying to sound racist, but it might sound better coming from a white guy."

"I did what I did. Hell if I'm going to hide from him." T-Dog says.

"We could lie." Amy says. I look at her like she's crazy.

"I don't think so!" I shout. "Would you want us to lie if it was your sister?"

"Hey back off, we can tell the truth. Merle was out of control, something had to be done or he would've gotten us killed." Andrea jumps in. Then looks at Lori. "Your husband did what was necessary. And if Merle got left behind, it's nobody's fault but Merle's."

"And that's what you want to tell Daryl? I don't see a rational discussion to be had from that, do you?" Dale asks in disbelief.

"Daryl isn't the monster you make him out to be. I'm sure as hell not saying he's not going to get pissed. Hell, I'd be pissed, but eventually, he'll understand. He's not his brother." I say in defense.

"I was scared and I ran, I'm not ashamed of it." T-Dog said. Still looking guilty.

"We were all scared; we all ran. What's your point?" Andrea asks.

"I stopped long enough to chain that door, the staircase is narrow. Maybe half a dozen geeks can squeeze against it at once. It's not enough to break that chain. Not that padlock. My point is Dixon is alive, and he's still up there handcuffed to that roof and that's on us." T-Dog replied to Andrea.

"That's good T-Dog, that means there is hope." I slightly smile. No matter how small it is...

With that everyone slowly went to bed.
