Clarity In A Dead World (Daryl Dixon Love Stroy)

Safe Place or War Camp?

(Gabreial's POV)

It didn't take us long to get over on the side that the prison was on but right when we were halfway to the gate the van stopped on its own.

"For the love of the gods!" Tigress screamed in frustration grabbing her and Darwin's packs then grabbing Darwin and her weapons. "Looks like we're on foot the rest of the way to the gate hurry up and let's go," she ordered firmly.

"Got it," I said grabbing my stuff as the others just nodded and gathered their things quickly.

Once we were all ready we opened the doors and made a dash to the fence quietly taking out walkers along the way. I got to the gate first and tried to get someone's attention. I saw an old man who looked this way, "Hey we need some help, please let us in." I begged as the others were finally closing in on the fence where I was. Tigress handed Darwin off to me when she got close to me dropping her bags and drawing her sword quickly after. I looked back through the fence and noticed a small group of men running this way.

They quickly opened the gates, "Quickly." a man holding a gun said and ushered us in.

I quickly went in with Darwin and watched as the others followed suit, Tigress came in last after making sure everyone was in safely.

(Tigress' POV)

After they had shut the gate a man pointed a crossbow at me and my group while the other men had each of their weapons pointed at us as well. The man with the crossbow pointed it at my son and Gabreial and I growled at him "I wouldn't point that at them any longer if I were you."

He looked at me and smirked a smart-ass smirk and replied "What are you going to do about it?" he spoke in a southern accent.

I started seeing red and reacted quickly grabbing the crossbow and slamming it into his gut and then pinned him to the ground. "You do not point a weapon at my son." I hissed loud enough for everyone to hear. I looked over my shoulder and noticed the shocked looks staring at me, I didn't care though I had warned him and he taunted me even if it was a little.

After about a minute or two I released the redneck and got off of him. I quickly made my way to Darwin and Gabreial, Darwin had started giggling at what he had seen. As I was taking him from Gabreial he whispered to me "I thought we were gonna be nice?"

I looked at him and mumbled my reply "He pushed my last button though." I sighed and held my son in my arms protectively then looked at the other group who were still staring.

A boy came up and stood beside a man who held a big handgun, I didn't know what the make and model were though. "Did you see that dad, she took Daryl down." the boy said to his father.

I sighed again "Yeah sorry about that but I don't take kindly to dangerous things being pointed at my child." I simply stated.

The boy's father nodded in understanding and looked at a pretty pissed of redneck, *no wait the kid said his name was Daryl, eh I liked redneck better* I thought to myself.

"Well my name is Rick," the man said, "and this is my son Carl."

"I'm Tigress and this is my son Darwin." I introduced myself and then pointed at each member of my group "That's Gabreial, Zeke, Samantha, Frost, My brother Trigger, My sister Trinity, and our little sister TeAnna." each either nodded. waved, or said hi.

"This here is Hershel, his daughters Maggie and Beth. That there is Glenn, Carol, Michonne, and Daryl the others are inside."

"Wait there are more?" Trigger asked.

"Not many but yes," Rick said.

"So who is the leader here?" I asked looking around.

"That would be me," Rick stated calmly.

"May I have a word with you than Rick?" I asked trying not to overstep my limits.

Everyone looked at me and then at Rick waiting for a reply. "Sure," he said kindly, I think.

I nodded handing Darwin back to Gabreial hesitantly. "Do you mind if we walk and talk Rick?" I inquired.

"Not at all." He said.

After that, we started walking away from everyone after orders were given to each group, me to mine and Rick to his.

"Rick..." I started to say trying to think of how to ask what I wanted to.

"Yes?" he questioned.

"Alright I'm not good at beating around the bush so I'll just ask....me and my group, we need a safe place to stay for the cold season at the very least. Of course, we would gladly pull our own weight, but we can't keep traveling like this it's getting too cold and we are all worried about my son. Soon it will be too cold for him, he's only a toddler after all, so Rick can we please take refugee here?" I rambled a little, I looked at him awaiting his answer.

"First off what can you and your group do?" he asked wanting information.

"Well we can all hunt, my sisters and I know a lot about herbs and usually use them for home remedies. Trinity was a doctor and midwife before all of this went down. Trigger was in the military, he did tactical plans for every fight he was in even the ones he wasn't in. TeAnna well she was a nurse, she worked with infants because that is what she loved to do. As for Zeke, Sam, Frost, and Gabreial you'll have to ask them what all they can do because I was sworn to silence by all of them. Anything else you would like to know?" I answered calmly.

He looked at me pretty shocked at the information I had given him and asked "What about you? all you have told me is that you know about herbs, so what else can you do or did do before the world went to shit?"

"Me? Before I had my son I worked for the government but after I became pregnant I created my own business and sold natural remedies and other goods. I answered looking off into the distance.

"So what did you do for the government exactly?" Rick questioned as we grew closer to our groups.

Everyone turned to watch us upon hearing him ask that, I looked at him dead in the eyes and simply stated "I did paperwork, protected the president, and I killed people." my group looked at me and smiled but Ricks group looked at me with a little fear "I would never hurt innocent people though but I gave that life up almost four years ago when I found out I was pregnant."

Rick smiled and laughed a little saying "So we have an assassin turned nurturer, a military war planner, a doctor slash midwife, and a baby nurse so far hahaha." he turned to look at Zeke, Sam, Gabreial, and Frost "So what did you guys do before the world went to hell?"
