Arrows and Angel Wings [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter Seven

*Daryl's POV*

What was that woman doing to me? Ever since we got to this farm I'd catch myself looking at her more and more. From the way she carried her bow to how she chewed on her lip while skinning her catch. I tried keeping my distance from everyone but with her I didn't want to. I wanted to get to know her more even though anything remotely romantic was a bad idea in this world. It wouldn't last, a walker could get her or me or there could be another accidental shooting like with Carl and that'll be the end. It's just a heartache waiting to happen and I didn't want it to happen to her. I shook my head to clear the thoughts away and went back to sharpening my knife as a distraction.

"Hey Dixon feel up to heading out with me?" Danielle asked walking over to my secluded spot.

"Sure, what are we after?" I replied.

"I was thinking a buck or a few rabbits." She smiled.

"Okay. We should head out before it gets too late." I told her.

"Let me go grab my bow and we'll head out." She replied before walking back to her tent.

I looked up at the house to see Shane staring down at her. I don't know why the guy hasn't picked up on the fact that I was the one she had the feelings for and I think a few people were startin to pick up on the fact that I had feelings for her too as much as I didn't want them.

I think it's about time one of us says something to the other. I just hope it's her so I can just follow up with mine. I stood up as she walking back over.

"Shane's starin at ya again." I told her.

"Yeah I'm fully aware of it. So are you ready to go?" She said.

"Yeah, come on." I replied.

*******

*Danielle's POV*

So the hunting trip I had Daryl come with me on wasn't exactly a hunting trip. I wanted to get away from the farm and eavesdropping group members. Ever since the explosion at the CDC and talking to Carol last night I had been going over the best way to tell Daryl how I felt about him. The best thing I could think of was a hunting trip.

"Hey Daryl." I started.

"Yeah?" He grunted.

"Can we stop a second? There's something I kinda wanna tell ya." I stammered.

"Oh? And what might that be?" He asked the smirk clearly obvious in his voice.

"I, um, well." I choked.

"Just spit it out Sunshine." He chuckled.

"Okay then. I like you and I don't mean just in the friend sense. I mean in the well, boyfriend, might be the right word to use here, sense. I kinda have since I first met you at the camp outside of Atlanta. After the CDC I've been trying to figure out the best way to tell you before one of us ends up being a walkers chew toy." I rambled.

Suddenly I was up against a tree with Daryl's hands on my arms.

"For a person that was studyin to be the type of doctor that just listens ta people ya sure talk an awful lot." Daryl chuckled.

"Yeah that happens when I'm nervous. I call it word vomit." I replied.

"Oh, do I make ya nervous?" He smirked.

"Sometimes." I replied.

"Well take a breath and let me talk. Ya already told me this once when we were at the CDC. Ya were under the effects of too much booze so I wanted ta wait until ya were sober to tell me again. Now that ya have I can tell ya what I told ya that night. I like ya too. Yer the only other person that I feel anything about. As much as I wish I didn't have feelins for ya I do and I ain't tryin to talk myself out of havin anythin romantic with ya. I'm not sure how I'll take the rest 'a the group knowing 'bout us but somethin tells me they've been takin bets about how long it took us to tell each other all 'a this." He said.
