burning love

Chapter 25- Uniting again

Bella  Pov:

       It's been two weeks since the attack and Judith was born. When she was born Daryl and Maggie left to go get formula and other baby stuff. Daryl named her Lil Ass Kicker until we came up with an actual name for her. Me and Maggie are going on a run tody for more baby stuff, we're hoping to get formula, a crib and some baby books, toys, and blanket, and stuff like that.
"Come on Maggie, your ready we're burning daylight." I yelled up to the prison tower. She stepped into view and she was putting her shirt one, while Glenn was naked in the background.
"Come on, stop trying to repopulate and lets go." I yelled. Everyone laughed and Maggie blushed. I put our duffel bags in the trunk and slammed it shut. I hoped in the driver seat as Maggie came running down the hill and to the passenger side.
"Ya ready." I asked, my southern drawl really showing.
"Ya let's go." She replied. It was silent for a while before she broke the silence.
"So what's goin on with you and Daryl?" She asked.
"I don't know like I love him, but he doesn't say it back. I feel like if i just keep my distance and work on surviving then maybe when something happens to one of us it wont be so bad.  I also feel really bad because i've been a real bitch lately. Every time he talks to me I blow him off. But then...... Every time I look in his eyes I almost cave." I say with a sigh.
"Ya know with the world we're in now it's not bad to love and see positive. Every body needs some body to motivate them. When we get back ask him about it, talk to him." Maggie finished as we came to a stop. I popped the trunk and we grabbed our bags and headed in the store. I went left while Maggie went right. I went to the baby isle first. I grabbed everything and then went for some basic supplies. I finished up and met with Maggie at the front of the store. We threw our things in the back of the of the car. I went around the corner of the car and stopped dead in my tracks. There stood Merle Dixon, with a gun to Maggie's head.

Daryl's Pov:
     I was up in the gaurd tower keeping watch for Bella to get back. I had a gut wrenching feeling that something wasn't right. I heard footsteps behind me and saw Glenn coming up the steps.
"Hey Daryl." Glenn said. I just grunted.
"So you and Maggie huh?" I asked.
"Ya what about you and Bella?" Glenn asked.
"I don't know. I think she's mad at me. Every time I try talking to her she just blows me off. But she has every right to ba mad I guess."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because since I have met her she's told me twice that she loves me and i never say it back. I'm scared that if I say I love her that i will lose her."
"Well dude I think by you not saying it that's losing her. When she gets back you need to tell her how you feel." Glenn said clapping me on the back and leaving.

Bella's Pov:

     I spit blood as another punch was thrown at my face.
"Is that all ya got, ya son of a bitch." I spat and laughed. I could see the anger growing in his face. I knew I was testing his patience.
"Ya ready tell me where my brother is ya dumb bitch." He yelled.
"Fuck you." I sneered.
"That can be arranged. But as much as i would love a piece of ya i would have to pass." With that the door swung open and in walked a guy with one eye.
"Oh but I would love a piece. I'm the Govner." He introduced. I shuddered at he's introduction. Merle stepped out of the room.
"Do what ya want ain't nothing I ain't ever experienced." i sneered with no care. The Govner walked closer and flipped open a knife, he ran it down my face, I could feel the blood trickling, I cut the tape on my hands and ankles.
"Oh i will make sure it's special. Stand up." He yelled. I stood up and he shoved me to a pole.
"Strip," He ordered. i took my clothes off all the way down to my underwear and bra. "Dance." I really didn't want to do this now. He stood up and pushed me up against the pole making me dance. He went back to his chair stripping his clothes in the process. He held his finger up order me to come to him. I walked over slowly and he forced me to my knees. He grabbed my jaw forcing my mouth open and shoving his cock in. I slowly began sucking crying silently to my self. He flipped me over on my back he spread my legs and I began fighting. If possible I would not carry his child. He held my legs down as he thrust into me. When I was with Daryl I felt pleasure but know all I feel is pain all over. He flipped my over and put it in my ass. I tried so hard not to cry ad scream but it hurt so bad. I screamed and cried begging him to stop. I could feel blood trickling out. He grabbed a fist full of my hair and pulled up. He wrapped a hand around and gripped my boob. I felt so vulnerable and weak. This went on for and hour before he stopped. He walked out and came back with a shirtless Maggie. She ran over to me asking if i was ok. I couldn't hear almost anything and I finally slipped in the darkness.

*Later*
I woke up to me being yanked up by my hair. I grabbed at the man's wrist. I looked at Maggie who had my shirt on, I had what was left of my shorts. The man put a bag on my head and yanked me up taking me to another room. Before I knew what was happening I heard clanking and the sound of gas releasing. Smoke grenade. I felt a pair of hands lift me up bridal style and the bag being taken off. They set me down when we made it out side. It was him, Daryl Dixon. Rick came up and took his shirt off and handed it to me I put it on and we slipped into a building.
"Where's the girl?" Glenn asked.
"What girl?" I asked.
"The girl that helped us find you. Let's go." Rick said. We went back outside and ran to a wall.
"I have to go find him." I heard Daryl yell.
"We don't have time we have to move." Rick reasoned. It must have worked because Daryl followed. I was over the truck when I got shot in the leg and Daryl was taken. Rick grabbed my hand before I could go to him. i climbed over and we ran threw the woods.
"We can't leave him." I yelled. I was beginning to panic.
"Fine me and Michonne will go get him." Rick said. i began to argue when I realised how tired i was. i went to the back seat of one of our cars and instantly fell asleep.

*Later*

I had been in and out of it ever since I laid down. I was awoken by Maggie. I looked around and realized Daryl wasn't here. I got out and followed after Rick, I grabbed his arm when I caught up.
"Where is he." I asked almost about to cry.
" He found his brother. We didn't want Merle staying so they left. I tried to stop him. He wouldn't listen. He said you would understand." Rick finished before walking off leaving me shocked. I ran off to the guard tower and locked it behind me I sat with my knees pulled up to my chest. Maybe he really doesn't love me. I stayed like that and eventually cried myself to sleep.
