My other half (Daryl Dixon)(the walking dead)

The rider. The zombie. The bonus points

Ghost pov

I woke up, yet again not in my tree.

My thoughts went to Daryl.

I remembered crying, shit I cried in-front of someone.

I can't believe l told him.

l had told him my secret so easily, it had just come out and I had shown him the scars on my back and, the way he reacted to the worthless scar on my back surprised me. He had out right told me that I wasn't worthless.

l told him l would try to be more sun shine and rainbows but that seemed so hard to me, I had never really ever been a positive person. My fear of getting too close with people always stopped me from doing that.

l got up and got dressed

Walking down the stairs I found some bread to eat, taking some I headed outside to try and find Hershel, I needed to ask him something.

l saw him walking away from Rick's group.

As he came closer he saw me and smiled, l tried to smile back but I couldn't be sure if I was actually smiling or not, I decided to meet him halfway as I stepped off the deck and onto the grass, I could still feel a little bit of pain in my back as I walked but it was bearable.

"Good morning Ghost, how are you feeling?" Hershel asked, his face showed concern.

"I'm doin just fine. Can a ask ya'll question?" I looked him in the eyes as I cocked a brow in question.

He nodded and stood up a bit taller in preparation as I never really asked him for anything in my life. Taking a deep breath I asked "Why did ya do all da thin's ya'll did for me when a was young, when ya'll first found me?"

Hershel looked confused at my question but answered "Because it was what I thought was the right thing, because I saw those scars and I knew they weren't from yourself. You were so young and when you told me your story, I knew I couldn't send you back where you didn't want to be.

It would have been cruel to do so"

I nodded that was a fair answer, while I didn't understand how someone could be so kind and caring to think of what I wanted I still asked another question not completely satisfied.

"Why have ya'll put up with me so far? It's not like Im da best person for Beth to look up to and Maggie is old enough to do what she wants and surely ya don't want someone like ma around?" I was convinced that all I was, was something unless, that all I was good for was cluttering unused space.

Hershel's smile turned into a frown and for a moment he stood in silence, thinking. Then he looked back up to me with what I thought was love in his eyes "You're wrong, you're a better person then you let yourself believe to be, sure you have some ruff edges but Beth looks up to you because she loves you like family, and because if it wasn't for you she would of died in that forest.

Not only that but you put your life before there's to protect them when Shawn came back and tried to eat them. They both love you like sisters, and me I couldn't have asked for a better daughter. You could be better but you have good reasons to be the way you are.
