Forbidden ~Book One~ Daryl Dixon~

Escalate

Tina squeezed herself through the crowd gathered outside Deanna's, she was nervous as hell about this meeting and what it would entail, she didnt want the group to have to leave and she was scared at the prospect of taking control of this town. Guilt hit her over the situation she felt she had bought these guys into. Daryl was sent on a scouting mission with Aaron earlier that morning, mainly to get rid of him and separate their group as much as possible, Tina and Carol felt Deanna wanted them far away from eachother as possible to have her way in the meeting and remove them all. Deanna never appreciated them just showing up to Alexandria, not without being scouted first.

Tina aimed to be here half hour, she left Carl with Poppy who was sleeping and he had Judith, their house was in clear view of the meeting so Tina would be a matter of seconds if she needed to get back. "I need Daryl here now more than ever" she whispered to Carol who rubbed her shoulder as she placed an arm around it reassuring her "he will be back" "and where is Rick? She really doing this without him?" Tina questioned as Carol shook her head at annoyance with Deanna "I tried my best today to talk residents round to Rick's side, used cuddles with Poppy as bargaining tools" Tina smirked as Carol smiled at her efforts.

Deanna stepped forward and started the meeting" What happened today was something we never have had  to deal with here since we started. My husband and I built this place up to be safe and secure." Deanna began, Tina noticed a lot of the group were rolling their eyes as she spoke, they had all heard this speech too many times now "today was nothing but, a fight, two new residents lying about who they are...these are things that we will not accept in this community." Deanna was cut off by a dead walker being hurled to the ground.

Looking over Abraham's shoulder, Tina saw Rick standing over it, bloodied. "There was no guard at the gate, the gate was open and this was inside, i didnt bring it in, it got in on its own, they always will, the dead and the living,because we are in here. The ones out there will hunt us, try to find us, use us, and try to kill us." Rick explained standing central the the crowd. "But we will kill them, we will survive, i'll show you how. See I was thinking how many of you do I have to kill to save your lives" this sentence alone made a few residents mutter to eachother. "I'm not going to do that, you are going to change" Rick said turning to Deanna "i'm not sorry for what I said yesterday. I'm just sorry I didnt say it sooner." He added, Tina shook her head at Deanna as she narrowed her eyes on to him, it was clear as day she had no clue on the world "you are not ready, but you have to be, you need to be" Rick added but was interrupted by Pete entering the meeting brandishing Michonne's katana "they're not one of us!" He growled at Rick as everyone stepped back. "Stop him!" Deanna urged her husband as Pete kept yelling, but he accidentally slit Reg's throat in the process causing everyone to gasp and scream, Tina held her hand to her face as she watched the horror unfold. Abraham brushed past Tina to tackle Pete to the ground as he kept yelling "they are not one of us!! They are not!" Deanna lent over her husband's bloody body as he gasped and spluttered for breath before stopping as his life was extinguished "Rick!" Deanna called turning him from Pete "do it!" She stated and without a second glance Rick turned and shot Pete in the head. Ending it all.

"Rick?" A man spoke from the distance, Tina noticed Daryl standing on one side of him and Aaron on the other, relieved that he was back safe and sound at least. How did this guy know Rick's name? Even Daryl looked confused when he said it.

Turns out the man who  called Rick's name was one of the first people Rick met with when he woke from his hospital bed, his name was Morgan.

It had been a few weeks since Pete's death. Deanna had accepted Rick's points on what needed to change and treated him like a leader for the whole of Alexandria ,not just the group although she made it very clear at times she was the overall leader and decision maker sometimes over ruling Rick to make a point. For example, she wanted Pete buried with the other residents of Alexandria but Rick said "killers dont get buried here" it took a while for Deanna to agree with that point.

"What time does Rick need us?" Tina yawned as her and Daryl stretched in bed. "About an hour" he groaned "i dont want you doing this" he added making Tina groan and sit up "i'll be fine, we need as many people as can get the quarry will only hold up so long with those lorries before the walkers get past and head straight for us" Tina replied snappily "we will be back by tonight" she added placing a kiss on his lips. "Where are you going?" He whispered smirking slightly, Tina laughed at him and shook her head "getting dressed and then heading out" she replied "nah you aint" he said pulling her back down onto the bed and kissing her lips as Tina playfully slapped his arm "come on we have to get ready" she said turning her face from his kisses laughing "fine, you have ten minutes" she added trying to sound serious but his kisses on her neck and collar bone were making her wet and she couldnt fight it any longer. Pushing him off her she quickly yanked down her knickers and tossed them out the bed as Daryl slipped his off and rolled ontop of her, and slipped his tongue into her mouth gently as he pushed his erection against her wetness, teasing her and he knew it, sliding her hand from his back round to his hardened member she felt his breathing change in his kisses as she toyed with it in her palm before lining it up to her core which Daryl gently pushed inside her as he rocked inside her slowly. Each thrust becoming deeper Tina found herself gripping onto the pillow underneath her, the feeling ever intensifying, she gasped as her walls tightened around him and moaned when she felt Daryl release after, finishing off with soft playful kisses on his lips as he stroked her forehead.

Poppy's wake up cry caused the pair to jokingly roll their eyes as they each got out of bed and tended to their daughter before showering and getting ready to meet Rick and the others.
