Clarity In A Dead World (Daryl Dixon Love Stroy)

Lies, Truth, and Trust

I know this is late but I would like to thank originals_rule for messaging me and telling me how much they liked the story, that meant so much to me. Also, I'm going to be adding a special chapter dedicated to originals_rule including adding a new character or characters.

(Tigress' POV)

I covered my ears and buried my head in my knees so that I couldn't see or hear this person who was in front of me. I was lost in my memories and my fear but I could feel the man getting closer which caused me to whimper again. "Please don't touch me, please please," I said in a quiet but scared voice.

(Daryl's POV)

I was awake when I heard a scream coming from one of the females from the new group, I ran to check it out. The scream had come from that woman, Tigress' Cell, I unlocked the door and swung it open. I saw her scramble back into a corner.

She screamed at me "Stay away from me! Don't touch me!"

I started walking towards her slowly, so I didn't seem like a threat, hell I didn't like the woman but who could stand to see someone like that. I could tell she was scared but I didn't know why so I said: "Hey calm down ain't no one gonna hurt you."

I heard her whimper in fear so I stopped and watched her to see what I could do to help. I saw her bury her face into her knees and cover her ears after a little bit I started forward again very slowly and cautiously. When I got to her I sat down in front of her just to keep an eye on her.

I heard her whimper again and say very quietly "Please don't touch me, please please." you could hear her fear so clearly with those few words.

I still didn't know what to do because I wasn't very good with women or their emotions. I stayed quiet and just watched her to make sure she wouldn't try to hurt herself or something. I knew her group had heard her scream but they couldn't get to her because they were still locked in their "rooms"

I started hearing something coming from Tigress but it was a little to quiet for a bit when she started to say it louder. *Wait she isn't talking....she's singing* I thought to my self (the song that's on the side.) You could feel and hear all the anger, pain, and fear that she was feeling in a way. Everyone was quiet while she sang, we all somehow knew she was only singing for herself but that didn't stop us from listening.

(Tigress' POV)

I sang out my feelings and after a few hours I had finally calmed down. I looked over at the person in front of me and saw Daryl *Oh great the last person I wanted to see me like this, just freaking great.* I wasn't happy but at least he wasn't asking what had happened. "So....how long have you been here?" I asked rather quietly.

He rubbed the back of his neck "Since not too long after ya screamed." he answered truthfully.

"Oh, I see....um can we not bring this up when the sun is up? I'd rather not deal with people really knowing what happened." I told him.

"I'll only do that if you tell me why you were so scared and freaked out..." he said, well more like demanded.

I growled at him "And what makes you think I trust you with that information, hmm redneck?" I asked then looked over at my son, who was sleeping peacefully. I looked back at Daryl for his answer.

"Because I saved your ass earlier today," he said with a smirk.

If I wasn't so tired I would have punched that smirk right off of his face, but that's just it, I was tired those nightmares always drained me when I woke from them. "I guess I can give you an answer then but don't think I will tell you everything about it. It was a memory that I don't like talking about, something that made it extremely hard to trust. I lied to my boss about that incident, hell I lied to everyone about it." I told him.

"Does anyone know the truth about that incident? I ain't gonna push to know what happened, but ya should probably tell someone," he told him in a gruff voice.

I shivered a little at that gruffness, what I may not like the man but doesn't mean he isn't attractive and has a sexy voice. I mentally slapped myself and said, "My group knows but that's because they found out, so they know the truth."
