Wake the Dead

chapter 5

*(Daryl's point of view during flashback)*

I riped the sweat off of my forehead and sighed in anger, "this piece of shit ain't gona be runnin anytime soon."

"Don't give up so soon, lil brother. I bet will have Jimmy's bike all nice and perdy by the end of the week." Merle said, smirking at my frustration.

"Ya, will see."  I walked inside to get a beer, only to see Fi's sister run up to my door.

Sydney ran up and started frantically banging on the door. "Geeze, calm down." I said as i opened the door to see the frantic look on her face. 

"Is my dad here?!" 

I looked at her confused, "Uh, no. I think he took off with my dad yesterday to go into town."

She ran her hands through her hair. " I can't find Fi. I think he took her with her. Shit. Shit. SHIT." She hit the door frame.

"Whoa there sweet cheeks, calm down. Whats goin on?" Merle said, walking over to us.

"Whats goin?! Your and my crazy ass father TOOK MY SISTER, THAT'S WHATS GOING ON!"

Merle's face went from a smirk to a frown, knowing the things our dad would do to her. "Okay, wait. Are you sure they took her? She could have just went to the store or something, and wouldn't your mom say something?" I asked, trying to calm her down.

"Our car is still here! Plus, she wouldn't just leave. And my mom? She has been to high to care even sense my dad got her addicted to their crazy ass drugs again!" She was freaking out. "I have to go get her."

I ran my hand through my hair and looked back at Merle, he looked as worried as I was. "We'll come with."

---------(End of flashback, still Daryl's point of view)

That day came to mind when i looked over to see Fi and Sydney curled up together in the other seat of my truck. I remembered how we drove all the way into town that day to find Fi in hotel room beaten, almost passed out, and about to be raped by both of our dads and some of their drunk friends. We got there just in time. On the way back they curled up together almost exactly like they are now. I tried to keep my eyes on the road, but i ended up sneaking looks at Fi. I have always been attracted to her, and i know sometimes she was attracted to me, but all could think about while looking at her is how much i wanted to keep her alive and well.

The caravan stopped and Fi sat up, but Sydney was asleep. "Whats going on?"

"Looks like that piece of shit RV broke down again." The RV seemed to be more duct tape then anything, but no matter how many times i told these people that it wont make it long, they wouldn't listen.

We both hopped out of the car, leaving Syd to sleep and walked over to everybody. Shane and T-dog decided to drive up ahead and see if they could find anything.

"Y'all its Jim, he's real bad." Jackie came out yellin. I don't know why we are even still draggin him around, hes a time bomb and there is no surviving gettin bit. I knew Fi agreed by the agitated look on her face.

*Fiona's point of view*

"We just leave him here? Take off? Man, I don't think I could live with that." Shane argued about Jim's future. At least they were starting to realize he wouldn't make it, like I said.

"It's not your call, either one of you." Lori always seemed to butt in with a little comment all the time, I'm not saying she is always wrong, it's just a little annoying how she thinks so much of her self.
