Forbidden ~Book One~ Daryl Dixon~

Caught II

"What the hell?!"

Daryl bolted up right off the table, pulling Tina up in the process, quickly tucking himself into his pants he turned around before Merle grabbed him by the collar on his undone shirt and seethed in his face "what the fuck are you doing?!" Holding Daryl up to the wall, Merle glared at him for an answer "Merle get off him" Tina pleaded trying to pull him off to no avail "let me go!" Daryl yelled to him "you mean he wasnt raping you T?" Merle asked confused "da hell man? I aint like that!" Daryl said, finally getting Merle to loosen his grip "he wasnt attacking me Merle" Tina explained trying to get Merle to see what was going on without having to actually say the words. Throwing her top over to hide her bra she gently pulled at Merle's grip to let go of Daryl who looked just as scared as she did "you guys? This is sick" he sneered in Daryl's face before pushing him away "she's our sister man" Merle said as Daryl tried to protest "she never was our sister! Her mom just married our dad, its not like we grew up together" Daryl insisted shaking his shirt after Merle grabbed it, Tina quickly standing in between the pair "Merle, its true." She whispered "this isnt a one off" she added backing towards Daryl, more out of fear from the hot tempered Merle. "I aint hurting Tina, I love her." Daryl said holding onto Tina's hand from behind for reassurance for her that this was it now, they were out in the open.

Merle paced the floor, putting Tina on edge, stopping to look at the pair once more he flung his fist into Daryl's face "so you got her pregnant?!" He yelled throwing another punch sending Daryl to floor as Merle grabbed him by the collar and straddle punched him, Daryl's hands around Merle's neck "get off!" Daryl hollered back to Merle. Tina tried her hardest to pull Merle off but he was too strong "stop this now!" She cried, scared for Daryl and not wanting either of them to get hurt. Suddenly the door burst open and Rick pulled Merle off Daryl "what the hell is going on in here?!" He shouted looking to both the men for answers, Daryl wiped the blood from his mouth with his thumb while Merle got up and pushed Rick out the way and walked out. "Well?" Rick looked to Daryl and Tina, he gave her the nod to go after him.

"Merle!" She called as he paced away from her "what you two are doing, its sick, its some weird abuse shit!--" he spoke angrily before Tina slapped him hard round the face "Merle im 22 years old! Im not a little girl anymore! He isnt abusing me! I initiated it!" She yelled through gritted teeth causing a shocked expression to fall over Merle "me! I started it! So you take it out on me not him!" She snapped. "T the last time i checked you were our sister--" Merle began, before Tina interjected "step sister..no blood line!"
Tina was standing her ground
"there is nothing you can do about it" she stated, folding her arms across her chest. Merle let out a fake laugh "how about we find out how Officer Friendly and the Korean feel about the new love story unfolding?" He spat dragging Tina aggressively by her arm to where Daryl and Rick were "Merle please! Dont!" She begged clawing at his hand to release her "whats the problem you ashamed?" He asked her turning his head to look at her "they wouldnt understand" she whimpered, he instantly let go of her hand "so you know its wrong?" He asked, shaking her head and placing her hand on her forehead "no its not wrong its just, everyone here thinks im your sister, that i take all the 'Dixon' shit you spout because i am one" she reasoned, for once in all this Merle looked calm she waited for him to say something, her heart pounding a mile a minute "this isnt some quick bunk up Merle, everything happened because we wanted it to" she tried to get him to understand but knew it would be a hard task. "So Oscar was a lie?" He asked, Tina nodded, Merle sighed "Daryl" he whispered answering his own question. "You're right they wont understand. Just like i wont. And it ends now with you two. I wont allow it." Merle's words cut through Tina like a knife before he looked at her like she was dirt and walked back to the prison.

Walking back to where Daryl was she felt herself well up at the turn of events, and how everything just got more complicated since Merle came back. Pulling open the door she gasped at what Merle had done to him just as Rick turned to see her looking rather impatient. "Look at you!" She cried trying to tend to his wounds unsure if Rick knew about them or not so tried to hold her concern back. Daryl shot her look to say he didnt know. "Merle doesnt like authority is all Rick, he doesnt like being controlled, he will never be quiet the whole time he is here" Tina blagged to Rick, hoping he would see why they could of been fighting. "That the truth Daryl?" He asked skeptical raising a brow, "there abouts" he grunted. Rick seemed to take her word for it, but he was never Merle's number one fan so wasnt exactly going to doubt their words.

"Lets get Hershel look over you" Rick gestured Daryl to the door before rubbing the bridge of his nose, stress evident on his face. "I havent said anything" Daryl whispered to Tina as he walked past her "we have to before Merle does" she replied with seriousness, They hung back so Rick could walk further ahead so he wouldnt hear what Tina was about to say "or we could run?" Her comments making Daryl stop in his tracks.
