My other half (Daryl Dixon)(the walking dead)

Rest

Ghost's pov

As I woke up I felt, soft and warm.

Wait, this wasn't my branch?

I opened my eyes and saw the dimly lit room, it was my room, I jolted up and felt a little bit of pain in my back. I got up out of the bed and walked down stairs stiffly.

I found Hershel sitting on the table reading, he looked up at me while I entered the room.

"Ow long hav a been out?" I asked, my voice coming out raspy as my throat was dry

"About a 3 days" He said calming

"what happened?" My mind was at a blur, I was confused.

"You jumped out of a tree to save Soul" Hershel answered

It all came back, that guy that was going to shoot her, I had jumped to safe her.

"Where is she, is she okay" I said quickly, worry poured though out my body.

"Clam down, she's fine, she's with Beth" He spoke tenderly

A sigh fell from my lips as relief washed over me.

"where's Beth?" I asked, I wanted to see with my own eyes that Soul was okay.

"she is probably out in the stables" Hershel confirmed

I started to walk towards the door but Hershel moved in my way.

I looked at him confused.

"Ghost you need to take it easy, you're still hurt, your back is still bruised and you are in no condition to be climbing and running too much, understand? So please I beg you, stay in or around the house and please stay here and sleep at lest for two days, please" Hershel begged me.

I couldn't argue with him, I could feel my back, it was still sore and I wouldn't be helping myself heal my climbing up my tree, I didn't really think I could climb at all anyway.

I sighed in defeat "Okay Hershel, I will" I whispered softly

He smiled happily at me and went back to his reading.

I walked out through the door and breathed in a big breath of fresh air, it felt so good. I hate being in the house for too long, I walked towards the stables and found Beth feeding Spirit.

"Thanks kid" she jumped in surprise 

"For what" she said shyly as she turned towards me

"For taken care of ma horse" I hummed

"It's fine I'll do it for you any time" She smiled while nodding

I nodded "yeah, um do you have Soul?" I questioned

The stoat popped out of nowhere and ran to me, I bent down and picked her up, she rubbed up against me, I hugged her softly while she started to let out a purr.

"Crap girl, don't ya'll do dat ta me again a thought a lost ya" I cuddled her to my chest softly

She let a little yep out and started to climb up to my shoulders to nip the back of my neck, I laughed as Soul was running back and forth between my shoulders in her excitement.

I went other towards Spirit, I ran my hand along his flank then gave him a scratch on his ears, he walked forward to place his snout to my head.
