burning love

Chapter 23- Clearing

Daryl's POV:

I woke up with the most beautiful girl in my arms. Those three months were absolute torture. I hated not being near her, not being able to touch her, or run my fingers through her soft black Raven hair. I love this girl to death, I love MY girl to death. I gently swiped a piece of hair from her face and gave her a kiss on her soft full lips. I gently petted her beautiful hair that I missed so much. I looked down at her a thought about Merle. He would probably think I was weak , he would probably think i'm turning soft. The thing is though, is that i have a soft spot for her, and a hard one if ya get what I mean. She began stirring and I snapped out of my thoughts.
"Ya know its very rude to stare." She teased.
"Well i'm sorry but it's hard to keep eyes off of my fine ass babe." I said in a low husky seductive voice. She turned a deep shade of red and I couldn't help but let out a little laugh. She opened her eyes to me and I looked in those beautiful green eyes. I could just stare in them everyday, all day.
"It's time to get up babe." I said sitting. I felt her arm wrap around my waist and yank me back down. Wow, has she gotten strong.
"Just a few more minutes babe, please. I miss your touch." I took the hint and lifted her shirt just barely below her bra and ever so lightly trailed my fingers up and down her back making her shiver. I loved that I had that affect on her.
I herd foot steps walk up behind Bella and looked up to see Rick towering over us.
"Time to get up you two. Glad to see you two together again." Rick said winking at me. I sharply nodded my head in agreement. It was nice to be back together. It was more then nice actually.
"Alright Bella, come on." I said standing up. I helped her up and then gave her a kiss. She grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers and we walked over to were Rick was and the group was.
"I'm gonna take Daryl Bella Maggie Glenn Hershel and T-Dog, and we are gonna clear out the court yard, the rest of you I want you to get our stuff ready to move." Rick instructed while laying things like a crow bar and other sharp objects on the ground. "Alright everybody pick one."
"I think I'll use my Katana." Bella said from behind me, while sharping it in the process.
"Imma use my huntin knife." I said, while taking the sharpener from Bella to sharpen my own. We all grabbed a weapon and walked up to the fence. We all stayed in formation. T-Dog ran out first and killed one and then regrouped. We killed a few more and was almost around a corner before Rick hushed us back against the wall. I looked around and say about thirty or so. One came around the corner I tried shooting it with an arrow first but it just bounced off. Bella ran up and stabbed it through the neck, and it dropped dead so we started doing that. We cleared the court yard and Rick decided to push into the prison. We opened the big sliding door but nothing was in there. I went up into a guard tower and grabbed two pairs of master keys. We went cell to cell and killed any walkers and then dumped them over the side. Bella went out and grabbed the others and helped carry stuff in.
"Imma takin the perch, I ain't sleepin in no cage." I said dragging a mattress on the floor.
"I guess I am too." Bella mumbled.
"Tomorrow, we will find the infirmary, until then get settled and get some rest."

******THE NEXT DAY********
"Alright so we all know the plan. Stay in formation." Rick repeated. We all walked in the tombs back to back with Glenn marking arrows so we wouldn't get lost. We walked a little ways when we got cut off on both sides and I lost sight of Bella, Maggie, and Glenn. We heard the walkers pass and we came out the closet. (HEHEHE :)). We were looking for them when we heard a scream Pierce the air. We ran towards the sound and saw a walker gnawing on Hershel's leg. We picked up and ran like crazy from a herd of walkers. We ran through a pair of double doors. We laid Hershel on the ground and Rick took his belt of and securely tightened on his leg. He grabbed the hatchet from the floor and brought it down on his leg. I looked over at Bella who began to cry, Hershel was like the father she always wanted. I hugged her and looked around. I saw four shadows on the other side of a wall with glass.
"Duck." I commanded and everybody did. "Come on out with your hands up." I said, aiming my cross bow. They all stepped out.
"What happened to him?" One asked
"He got bit." I said sternly.
"Bit?" The same one repeated dumbly. T-Dog oped the door and we all ran out with Hershel on a metal table. We took him into our cell block to Lori. I stayed in the main room and waited for the men. I could hear them stomping it's no wonder they were arrested, they were to loud to get past a def man.
"Hold It stay right there." I said they all came out the shadows with there hands up.

Bella's POV:

I came into the main room with Daryl and the four men. The one kept staring at me and it made me mad, it made me think of my dad and his friends. Daryl looked at me and stepped protectively in front of me. I stepped slightly around him.
"What do say babe doll wanna get outta here for a little well let me show you a good time." he said eyeing me.
"Wanna keep your fucking eyes." I said, resting my hand on my hunting knife.
"Oh feisty I like it. Hey man can we share her. " He asked Daryl.
"No we can't." Daryl growled.
"It's alright man I don't mess around with hoes any way, don't know what diseases they may have. But when you have been in prison a while, you'd hit anything." The guy said eyeing me again. Ok that's it. I grabbed my knife quicker then lighting and held my forearm around his neck and pushed my knife slightly up to his eye. The men started coming in around me but T-Dog and Daryl stopped them.
"See this knife right here, it will go in your eye faster then you can say another comment, sweetheart. If you wanna keep your fucking eyes then keep them off me, or i will personally remove them and feed them to you." I said shoving him before I turned around, Before I completely turned around he smacked my ass and squeezed it. I turned around but before i could lunge at him, Daryl had his arms wrapped around my waist holding me back.
"I swear to fucking God I will kill you." I screamed.
"Nice ass you got." He teased me, I tried lunge again. Rick walked in.
"Bella calm down. We are going back to the cafeteria and we get half of everything in return you get a cell block. If I see you, hear you,or even hear you. I will not hesitate to let her rip every single one of your throats out." Rick said, well ,more like demanded. We went back to the cafeteria and i held Daryl's hand on the way.
"Ok when I say open one door, and go for the head." Rick said to their leader. He went to open the door but instead opened both doors. We were fighting the walkers off when the leader threw a walker at Rick.
"I said open one door." Rick growled afterwards.
"Shit happens man, it was coming at me." The leader said. I walked up behind him and Rick nodded. I tapped his shoulder and he turned around looking at me lustfully.
"Shit happens" I said while leaning in and then stabbing him in the head and watching him fall like a broken statue. But then I felt something sharp and hard on my head and I collapsed. The last thing I remember is Rick chasing someone and Daryl yelling my name.
