Bitten ( Daryl Dixon / The Walking Dead Fanfic )

Chapter 21- Part 2

3 hours later

I leaned my head on the truck's window and closed my eyes. I felt like I was drained of all my energy.

Rick had a meeting straight after I was up, turns out the gates of the prison had become very fragile from the attack and the walkers had completely brought it down. Also you'll never guess who Maggie identified one of the attackers as- freakin Shane!

"It's weird" Daryl murmured snapping me out of my thoughts , "what is?" I asked with my eyes still closed. "How no one seemed shock about Shane" he replied, his eyes still on the road. "I was shocked, I still am to be honest. Maybe he didn't know it was this group you know? I mean me and Merle would raid groups, but we accidently attacked Glenn and Maggie. So perhaps he didn't know until it was too late?" I let a breath out and looked at Daryl who was glaring at me and looked hella pissed.

"What?" I asked in annoyance, God he is so bipolar. "Why ye defending him so much?" He spat. "Wow, seriously? You really think this is the time to get all jealous over nothing?" I inched away from him a little , just incase I pushed him off the edge.
"I ain't jealous!" He shouted a little too loud. I nodded slowly and looked out of the window, I did not have the energy for this. But for the record he so was jealous. So what did that mean?

Me and Daryl were in the truck, Merle and Ava on the bike, Rick Carl, Michone and Carol with Judith in the newly found black  range rover ( I'm so freakin jealous,unlike Daryl at least I'll admit it) and the rest in the RV. Going God knows where !

"Ye keep zoning out" someone snapped with annoyance. "Huh" I replied and opened my eyes to see Daryl glare at me. "Oh sorry love" I mumbled and looked at the road ahead, noting it was going to get dark soon.

"Love?" Daryl chuckled and looked at the road too. "Oh uh sorry its a British thing.. I won't say it again" I replied hesitantly and looked down at my hands.

"Nah it's fine I like it" He winked causing my stomach to do somersaults, "I wanna be yer love " he nonchalantly added with the smirk playing on his thin yet beautiful and soft looking lips.  Woah easy there.

I put my hood on and looked out my side window in order to hide my blazing red cheeks. "I  thought you'd kick my 'ass' if I didn't shutup" I truthfully replied. I mean come on,  you thought the same right?

"Psht nah, I rather spank it" he simply replied as he parked the car outside a abandoned looking house in the middle of acres of field.  I gasped at his response and slapped his arm causing him to laugh as we got out.

The others parked behind, all with tired expressions.

"Glenn, Ava, Daryl, Merle, Ariana come here a sec" Rick called out whilst leaning on the house's front gates. We all quickly huddled around him knowing that the quicker we got the plan the quicker we'd be able to rest, plus it would be hard to clear during night time.

"Alright we need to clear this place out for tonight. Daryl and Ava you take upstairs, Merle and Glenn can take the backyard and me and Ariana will take the groun-" "Hell nawh!" Daryl interrupted Rick half way "Arianas with me" he pretty much growled at Rick.

Rick hesitantly looked at me and I heard Merle chuckle as Daryl took hold of my arm. My breath hitched at his sudden touch and I had the urge of singing and dancing around but instead just looked at the house and avoided Rick's stare.

"Uh okay.. Ava you're with me, let's go" Rick replied with a hint of anger  and stormed off.

"Seems deserted" Daryl confirmed after double checking the last room.

We walked into the first room again which was the master bedroom and I quickly opened the window and waved to Carl who smiled and waved back. "He sure has grown up" I whispered as I closed the window, though I'm pretty sure Daryl heard.

"I dont like Ye being with alone with him" Daryl flatly replied. I turned to see that he was standing in my personal space bubble and had his eyes locked on mine.

"uhh what do you have against Carl?" I hesitantly replied and pressed my back on the window. Jheesh this guy does not understand what personal space is.

"Not Carl, I'm talking bout Rick" 

"Okay... then what do you have against Rick?"

"He likes ye"  He came even closer, so close that my chest was against his. His piercing blue eyes were boring into my brown ones, he wrapped his arms around my waist and my hands slid up his arms automatically. Slowly he lowered his head and his lips were now less than a centimetre away from mine.

"But I like ye more" He whispered before bashing his lips on mine.
