Among the Unknown: A Daryl Dixon fanfic

Chapter 13: Cant Lose Her Again

Taylor’s P.O.V:

“Taylor.. This is Hanah, my little sister..” Daryl said pointing to her with one hand while his other hand held hers.

Sister? What? I never was told he had a sister! I thought, practically screaming this in my head

“H-Hi I’m Taylor..” I said, mentally I was slapping myself for stuttering and standing there dumbfounded like an idiot. She held the same scared expression on her face as I said this,

“Taylor...?” The husky southern drawl snapped me out of my trance as I realized I still had my knife up as if I were about to attack a walker. I immediately dropped my hands to my sides.

“Sorry...” I muttered, she nodded lightly in return

“Alright, Hanah, grab yer things an le’s go.” He shifted his weight. It was silent between us as I stared at the ground, I could feel his stare burning into me.

I closed my eyes and heard light footsteps, when I opened them he was standing a foot in front of me. His finger slowly lifted my chin and pushed my head up so I was now looking at him.

“I know I shoulda told ye... I-I jus’... didn’t know how...” His voice trailed off. There were tears brimming in his eyes, something must have happened between him and his sister when the world went down

“It’s okay.. It’s okay...” This came out barely above a whisper, I put my hand on the back of his neck and pulled him into me so we were now hugging.

His arms wrapped around my waist and we stayed like that for a few minutes. He gave my waist my tight squeeze before we pulled apart

“Hey, look at me.” I pulled his chin up and held his eyes level with mine.

“I’m not mad... Alright? Everything's going to be fine now. You got Hanah back! Be happy, no crying.” I wiped away a tear that had slid down his face. He nodded and wiped at his eyes.

“I aint cryin... “ He mumbled, we both looked at each other and burst out laughing. He grabbed me and hugged me once more before pulling away, “Thanks.” I smiled and nodded.

“Whats goin on in here?” We both turned to see Hanah leaning in the doorway with a bag handing over her shoulder. She looked between the both of us and shook her head before pushing off the wall and walking over to us.

“Jeez... Your just like your brother.” I huffed, she smirked and lightly punched my arm. I chuckled and we all walked out of the house and straight into the woods.

Daryl’s P.O.V

“So were is it were goin?” Hanah asked, we had been walking through the woods for about ten minutes heading in the direction of the prison.

“We gotta group tha’s held up in a  prison just East a here.” I replied, she nodded and we continued walking.

Merle always told me that I’d never find Hanah again after how I lost her. He said she probably was dead by now, but I never believed him.

I knew she was out there somewhere and one day I was going to find her. Well, today was that day.

I was snapped out of my thoughts as I saw the prison gates appear from out of the brush. We ran up to the gate as I unlocked them and rushed inside closing them behind me before making our way to the rest of the group.

“Who is she!?” I shot my head up to see Rick pointing a gun at Hanah and screaming at me. I jumped in front of her.

“Rick! Put the gun down, she’s fine!” Taylor spoke, she reached for the gun trying to get Rick to lower it but he refused.

“Would ya get tha’ damn gun outta mah face! Ye ain’t gonna do shit to mah sister!” I seethed at Rick, since I had stepped I front of Hanah, the gun was now pointed at me.

“Wha... S-Sister?” He stuttered, his hand dropped bringing the gun to his thigh. He repositioned it back in his holster without hesitation.

“Yeah, now why don’t ye welcome our new quest?” I growled, his face had softened and I could see his eyes looking trying to peer at Hanah behind me.

I stepped out of the way and laid my hand on her shoulder lightly pushing her forward to meet Rick.

“Rick, this is Hanah, Daryl’s little sister.” Taylor said and followed me by putting her hand on Hanah’s other shoulder. Rick smiled and put his hand out for her to shake. Hanah took it and smiled lightly.

“Welcome to the group Hanah! I think you’ll like it here.” He smiled and guided her up to the door of the prison to show her around and meet everyone. I followed close behind keeping an eye oh her, I couldn’t let anything happen to her, not after I lost her like that...
