Forbidden ~Book One~ Daryl Dixon~

One Shot 3 ( Alternate Ending Part 2)

Tina didnt respond to Daryl's comments, the look in his eye was of anger with no fear, how it was when he ripped Joe's throat out back when she was nearly attacked by one of his men. Instead she pulled him up onto the bed and tried her best to fall asleep although it was going to be tough.

Lying awake she evaluated the situation, this wasnt a simple task such as Randall's fate or even The Governor, this was way way deeper than any of the group could of imagined, and back then they found the event with Randall tough.

"You awake" Daryl whispered huskily, he too was staring aimlessly at the ceiling pondering their next move "you know i am" Tina replied edging closer to Daryl's body. Before long they fell into a silence again and it wasnt an awkward one or a pleasant one it was agonising. Agonising because there was no way out of this one, no quick fix, Negan had a group of 150+ men all armed and prepared to rip this group apart worse than a herd of walkers. At least with The Governor the majority of his people didnt want what he wanted.

Turning to her side to face Daryl she watched as he nervously chewed his inner lip, something he only did on the rare occasion, Tina knew if he was doing this it has to be really bad. Breaking the silence once again she asked "what are you going to do Daryl?" "I told you, im going to crush the life out of him" he snapped back but realised his tone and opened his arm so she could nuzzle into his chest. "Dont you think we should talk this over and think more?" Tina asked, worry was surely showing. "I aint playing with no chump like that" he protested not moving his gaze from the ceiling. "Rick might feel the same as you-" Tina began but Daryl interrupted and sat up, pushing himself from the bed "I aint speaking to Rick..no one you hear" he snapped in a whisper not wanting to wake Poppy and not really wanting to snap at Tina but he was so angry and frightened at the same time he couldnt help it. Tina followed him off the bed and motioned Daryl downstairs to discuss further "Daryl, this Negan guy means business by the sounds of it, with all his men, baby you wouldnt even get close to him before they beat you down" She tried to get him see sense and she could tell it was slowly working, Daryl gave her an "i know" look.

A gentle knocking at the door stopped their discussion, peeking slyly through the curtains Daryl nodded to Tina as she opened the door to Rick. "Saw the lights were on, figured you guys were awake" He spoke quietly greeting Daryl and Tina. "Keep thinking about this asshole man, what we gonna do?" Daryl asked rubbing his brow slumping into the chair. "I wanna rip his head off, feed it to his men" Rick confessed sternly. Tina stood nervously by the fireplace anxiously waiting for a resolution she knew wouldnt happen anytime soon, not the way the men were thinking anyway. Daryl sat forward "we aint being bullied by some stock broker with a cheesy grin, without his men, he aint shit, bet those assholes are only with him to stay alive" Daryl grunted to which Rick nodded "there are too many men to take down, and look where is got us" Rick replied in a nod to Abraham. Tina went outside to light a cigarette as silence fell over the two men. As she blew out smoke she noticed practically all the lights were on around Alexandria, no one was asleep, the events engraved on eachother's mind too much for slumber to fall.

Listening in on Rick and Daryl's conversation she heard Rick suggest they 'danced to Negan's tune' for a while, see what was what and how to break them. Tina couldnt deny she wasnt relieved Daryl wasnt going to go on a suicide mission, she didnt doubt his abilities to kill and to protect the group but she knew even this was too big for Rick and Daryl combined. Listening further she heard Daryl explain he will protect her and Poppy for the rest of his life and agreed with Rick that they will play along with his wants instead of acting now and thinking after. 

Flicking the cigarette to the ground she watched as Rick walked past and walked to his house followed by Daryl who sat beside her and lit up a cigarette of his own. "Did you mean everything you said to Rick just then or are you going to sneak off into the night and deal with it?" Tina asked, Daryl let our a small chuckle "thought about it" he admitted "we will see how he plays, he may think he means business but Abraham is the last person he kills" he stated clearly. "You are going back on your arrangement with Rick?" Tina asked in a sigh, her worry was washing back over just when she thought Daryl had seen sense "no i'm not, we are just going to see what he wants, how he plays, act how the Hilltop are, then...then its first come first serve to kill his ass" Daryl explained. He seemed confident. But where Tina and the group way in over their heads more then ever?

This is the last installment in this book, I have decided as well this will be the follow on for the sequel in which Daryl is alive (yay) sorry Abraham, so if you want the ending where Daryl died then you dont have to read the sequel if you dont want to but im happy if you do!

I just need a title for it, any ideas?

The sequel is pretty much about Negan and his group and how Rick, Daryl, Tina and the others survive under his new legislation.

Or the sequel could be with Daryl dead

Either way I have ideas but lets face it Daryl alive is sooo much better.

Let me know, vote and comment xxxx
