Fate or Hell

Chapter 7: Merle

As we head inside the prison Maggie takes her gun and points it at Merle. Her and Glenn start yelling at him while Rick and Daryl split them up. Jesus stays with Rick while I go in the prison with Daryl and Merle

Daryl: The hell is wrong with you Merle?

Merle: It's all about survival little brother got to do what you got to do

Daryl: They took us in and had our backs

Merle: They left me on that roof

Daryl: We went back for you

Merle notices me

Merle: You gonna introduce me to your friend little brother?

Daryl: Merle Celina, Celina my brother Merle

Me: Sup

Merle: Celina eh you got some long pretty hair there I like women with long hair

I raise an eyebrow

Daryl: Leave her alone Merle

Merle: What you got dibs on her? Alright my little brother being a man with the ladies

Daryl: Shut up Merle

Merle: Well if she isn't yours I wouldn't mind having her. What do you say senorita you wanna be with a real man here?

Me: Not interested old man

Merle: Feisty little thing, I like her

Daryl: Well she'll kick your ass so leave her alone...old man haha

Merle: Your really starting to get on my nerves

Daryl: You as well

Rick comes in

Rick: Celina if you don't mind I'd like to talk to these two alone please

Me: Sure thing

I go outside to check on Maggie and Glenn. Merle checks me out as I leave. I find Jesus with them and Hershel. Glenn was badly beaten and Maggie was terrified from what happened

Glenn: He can't stay here not after what he did

Maggie: That bastard is going to pay

I hug Maggie

Me: I'm sorry you guys had to go through that

She starts crying

Maggie: It was horrible just hearing Glenn in the other room

Glenn looks down as Hershel trending to his bloody face

Hershel: We need to get you inside come on

Jesus helps Glenn up as we all head back inside. Rick, Daryl and Merle were still talking. Maggie and Glenn glare at him while we went inside Hershel's cell. Rick and Daryl comes in

Rick: Merle's leaving but Daryl has decided to go with him

Glenn: Daryl you don't have to go!

Daryl: Merle is my brother I can't just let him go out on his own

Glenn: He survived once he can survive again

Jesus: That's his brother he should be with him. Always be by each other no matter what. If I was in the same situation I would never let my sister go out there alone

Glenn: This is Daryl's home

Me: But Merle is his brother, his family

Daryl: I already made my decision and I'm leaving with my brother

He walks out

The next day Daryl and Merle are packed with food and water. Everyone is saying goodbye to Daryl. Jesus and I are the last ones he says goodbye to. Jesus shakes his hand

Daryl: Thank you guys for understanding what family means

Me: Daryl Jesus and I would do the same no matter what we done past, present, and future we will always be by each others side

Jesus: That's a bond you can never break

He smiles and nods

Me: Daryl if it's ok I'd like to give you something

Daryl: Sure

I take out a necklace with a shark tooth

Me: It's my lucky charm, it'll protect you

Daryl: I can't take that

Me: Daryl you are going out in the world full of walkers and dangerous people I would really like you to have this, please

He takes a deep breath

Daryl: Alright

I smile and put it over his head. He looks at it then hides it under his shirt

Daryl: Thank you

I nod then hug him tightly

Me: Be careful out there

Daryl: I will

I stop and go to Jesus. The gates open and they walk out. Daryl takes out the necklace and looks at it. Merle looks at him and sees the necklace

Merle: Ah that girl has the sweets for you

Daryl: It's not like that

Merle smirks

Merle: You sure about that?

Daryl: Man shut up... It's a pretty cool charm though

Merle: Mmhmm

I watch as they head into the woods
