Forbidden ~Book One~ Daryl Dixon~

Who Did It?

Tina still felt like death over the next few days, she wasnt even sure if she was sleeping through days the way she was feeling. Feeling faint, stomach cramps, everything she eats is coming back up, maybe this is what is involved with heart break?

A loud crash of metal shot Tina upright in bed, weakly making her way to the window in the hallway she saw a large white and orange truck slam through the gates and do a 180 spin on the grass, holding her breath she watched as the truck door opener and a dozen or more walkers piled out, aiming straight for a stranded Hershel who was in the field. The truck sped out the gates, making sure to truly damage them on the way back out. She noticed Glenn and Maggie firing at them from the watch tower as Carol rushed to Tina's side with baby Judith to scope out what was happening. "What do we do?" Carol cried as she watched Hershel take out the walkers as Rick became surrounded on the other side of the fence. "I'll go" Tina offered running down the stairs and grabbing a knife in the process "you need to rest" Carol pleaded to her as Tina jogged to the outside of the prison.

She didnt have much energy but adrenaline was rushing through her, one by one she took walkers out, stabbing them in the head as Hershel took the ones surrounding him out, Tina tried to help Rick through the other side of fence but only managed one as the energy began leaving her body and the weak feeling dawning over her again. Holding onto the fence the clean sound of an arrow hitting the walker in front of Rick took both him and Tina's eyeline to the woods where Daryl came sprinting out, using his spare arrow to strike a walker down as he leapt in the air for leverage. It was him. He came back. "One more baby brother" Merle yelled as he upper cut stabbed a walker with some makeshift weapon he had connected to his body.

Running out of the gates she jogged with all she had, holding onto the wire of the fence as she speedily turned the corner to wrap her arms around Daryl. "You're back!" She cried as she leapt into his arms, toning it down when she remembered their rule. "What about me lil sis?" Merle groaned sarcastically. Looking unsure at his arm he waved her into his arms as she hugged him "us Dixon's always survive right!" Merle stated reminding Tina why her and Daryl were keeping it to themselves, turning her head she saw Daryl look down at the ground. He called her "lil sis". The feeling of wanting to vomit waving over her again but she shook it off "show me home then" Merle chirped as Rick looked at him like a bug that needed to be squished quickly. "Come on" Tina nudged him to walk, whether he liked Merle or not, they had to get inside quick and sort the fences out and clearly with The Governor acting like this they were going to need all the help they could get.

Daryl walked behind Tina and he tried to subtly pull her back to talk to her "im sorry, i couldnt leave him" he whispered slowing down his paces so Rick and Merle would end up in front of them further. "But you could leave me?" She asked "i was heartbroken when Rick said you left. It was like i was nothing!" She yell whispered, Daryl backed away slightly at her words, he understood her upset.

"Argh fuck!" Tina yelped clutching her stomach and stopping in her tracks as they got into the gates "T you okay?" Rick asked turning back "i dont know" she moaned as she crouched over placing her hands on her knees as she breathed. "Shit your bleeding" Daryl exclaimed as he pointed to the tops of her legs before hoisting her in his arms and rushing her to Hershel. "She hasnt been right the last few days" she heard Rick yell to Daryl as he and Merle followed them into the cell block.

"Hershel come on!" Daryl snapped at the man as he placed Tina down on the bed and looked to him to check her over. Hershel took one look at Tina and the blood and shunted the men out "i need privacy" he sternly told them and folded the curtain down. Carol came in discreetly with water for Tina who sipped it under Hershel's instruction. Checking her blood pressure and temperature and asking her symptoms Hershel sighed. "Tina, when was your last period?" He asked. Tina thought for a moment rolling her eyes as she mentally calculated "i havent had one in a while, i dont know if its because of how we are living now and--" she started "when was the last time you had sexual intercourse ?" He interrupted causing Tina to swallow hard and clam up. "I havent" she lied. Hershel stood up and moved his chair closer to her "Tina did you know you was pregnant?" He asked in almost a whisper, the question making her eyes widen "im pregnant?" She said trying to swallow the lump in her throat. Hershel cleared his throat "you was, you are in the process of a miscarriage" his words cutting through her even more than the pain in her lower abdomen.

Leaving her to digest the news she was given, she heard Hershel get questioned by Merle and Daryl "whats wrong with her doc?" Merle asked , she could hear Hershel whisper her condition to Merle who yelled "SHE'S WHAT?" Before he immediately yanked the curtain back "Tina? Who is he?" He yelled as Tina nervously bit her nails "no one Merle" she whispered trying to get him to stop yelling so maybe the whole prison didnt hear . "Who put their dirty hands on my sister and left her in this condition!?" He snapped stomping in the cell. Tina's eyes automatically went to Daryl's who looked just as scared as she did.
