Clarity In A Dead World (Daryl Dixon Love Stroy)

Woodbury?

(3rd person POV)

Daryl looked at Tigress as she looked around, he could tell she avoiding looking at him after saying that. A strange curiosity grew inside him, he wouldn't ask but the thoughts crossed his mind. 'what could have caused her such a great amount of fear?'

Gabreial stood by the wall closest to his dear friend Tigress and had heard everything that was said between the two. He shivered remembering the night everyone had found out what happened.

*Flashback*

Tigress had just come home from her doctor's appointment, her face was pale and blank. She looked like a corpse just walking around, they all watched her as she slowly walked up to the stairs and to her room. A crash and scream were heard, everyone went running up the stairs in fear that something bad had happened to her.

The door went crashing open and everyone stopped at the sight before them. Tigress was standing there, tears running down her face as she screamed and threw anything that she could at the walls. After 30 minutes she just collapsed on the ground still in tears and curled up in the fetal position.

"Tigress?" Sam asked quietly as she slowly walked towards her. "Tiggy what's wrong?"

"....I'm pregnant...." Tigress said in almost a whisper.

Everyone stared at her and then one by one went and slowly formed a group hug with her in the middle.

"Being pregnant is a miracle, so why did you basically lose it, sis?" Trinity gently asked.

Tigress tensed and slowly got out of the hug and hugged herself as she sat down on her bed and mumbled "It's because of how the child was conceived.....You all know I broke up with Ty right?"

"Yeah, we remember why?" Gabreial asked.

"The night of our last date he told me he didn't really love me.....a..and then him.....and a bu..bun...bunch of g....gu...guys ra....rape....raped me..." Tigress sobbed out. "I don't know who the father is and I don't know what I'm gonna do.

They all stared at her and hugged her again.

"Tigress we know you, you will keep this child or these children and love them no matter who's child it is because it will be your child. Besides we will be here to help you through it all, after all, we are your family." Zeke stated still hugging her.

 Tigress burst out crying again and held on to her family "Thank you all of you...I love you all so much.....Now.....what am I going to tell my boss?"

Silence overtook the hugging group of people. The words were unspoken but clear as day, she would have to tell her boss the truth. She would have to tell him she was pregnant.....

*Flashback Over*

(Tigress' POV)

I laid back down after my conversation with Daryl and sighed *Why did I tell him that stuff? Bigger question why did he stay and listen? I thought he hated me.* I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.

*Small time skip- Morning*

I awoke in pain, my head was hurting and I knew exactly why. My wake up call just so happened to be slamming my head against the wall somehow. "Damn it all to hell that freaking hurt..." I spoke to myself and the wall "stupid wall that really hurt." I kicked the wall and mumbled in pain from the impact.

I heard laughing behind me from several people. Slowly I turned around to face my group and some of Rick's group including Rick and Daryl. I looked off to the side slightly blushing and highly embarrassed *Just great* I thought to myself.

"Having a little lovers quarrel there are you Tig?" Trinity asked trying not to laugh so openly at me.

"Oh yeah let me tell you, the wall just wanted me so bad that it had to make it known by kissing my head hard...then I just had to kiss it with my foot....no but seriously not a way I want to wake up to again. That really did hurt." I replied sarcastically.

Everyone was laughing harder at me besides Daryl who just had a smug look on his face. I looked him dead in the eyes and flipped him off with a smirk on my face. He looked a little angry now but at this point, I would rather he be mad and hate me so he would stay away from me then be nice to me like last night.

After waking my son we all walked down to get breakfast, which consisted of what looked like oatmeal I think and some meat. I let Darwin eat first so he could get his fill and when he was done I ate what was left. I had a feeling it was going to be a long day for all of us. I left Darwin with Zeke and Sam while I went towards the fence to see if it was clear enough to get the rest of our stuff from the van.

It seemed pretty clear so I went to find Rick to see if it was ok to get our other stuff, as I was walking and looking for him I hear Daryl and him talking.

"Rick there's no telling what the Governor will do next," Daryl said.

"I know that Daryl but there is no way we can attack Woodbury right now, we need to come up with a plan of attack that will work and not get the group hurt or worse killed," Rick argued back.

I walked closer and ask "Who's the Governor and what's Woodbury?"

Both men turned to me shocked because they hadn't heard me, I just looked at them curiously.

"Tigress what are you doing out here?" Rick asked.

"I was seeing how clear it was and then I came looking for you to see if it was possible to go get the rest of my groups' stuff from the van we drove here. Now again who is the Governor and what is Woodbury?" I explained and requestioned. I gave them a look that meant not to lie to me.

"I see, yes that would be possible. The Governor is someone who wants us to either join him or die and Woodbury is his base. Woodbury is a town he created and where he is basically god to the people there but he is no god he is just a twisted man." Rick explained.

"I see, so he is crazy and has a god complex," I stated more than asked.
