A Dixon Sister?

Chapter 42

Time skip <(Next day)>

Daryl POV

Emma, Rick, Carl and Michonne had gotten back a few hours ago and brought a lot of guns back with them. We were packing up to go back out while Merle nagged Emma about the gash on her arm. She insisted it was just a scratch and there was nothing to worry about. I believed her. We were going to meet with the Governor,  to try and make a deal with him.

Merle wanted to come with us but Rick denied, say that Hershel, Emma and I would be enough back up if it was needed. Merle then wined saying about how Hershel is a cripple and wouldn't be any help. He soon got a slap off Maggie and stormed off.

We finished packing up and Emma and I got onto Merle's bike as Rick and Hershel go into one of the cars. We drove of and I felt Emma's arms tight around my waist. I could tell she was asleep as he head was against my back and her arms were starting to loose their grip around my waist. The car Rick and Herschel were in started to slow as we drove to a  barn. We parked behind some water containers and Emma woke up.

She got off the bike as Rick also got out the car and chucked a hoody and her weapons to her. She caught them and shoved on the hoody and her weapons. She kept her hood up and the plan was that she was to stay hidden somewhere high in case something went wrong and if she was seen that she didn't say a word and kept by my or Herschel's side. She was not to take her hood down under any circumstances.

She gave a small nod to Rick to say she was ready. We carefully and quietly checked the area as Herschel stayed in the car. We walked through the maze of water containers and came to the barn where we said we would meet the Governor. I helped Emma onto the roof as Rick went inside. I checked around the barn and looked into the window to see that the Governor was already there.

Emma POV

I quietly walked over to a big opening in the roof and looked through to see Rick standing there facing the Governor. I listened closely.

"We have a lot to talk about". The Governor said.

"You attacked us, makes things pretty clear". Rick said annoyed.

"I was trying to make things clear. I could have killed you all, I didn't". The Governor said cockily.

"Here we are". Rick said calmly before quickly lifting his gun and aiming it at the Governor's head.

"I'm going to remove my weapon. Insure, I mean to negotiate in good faith, I'd like you to do the same. May I". The Governor asked as he reached for his gun.

I quickly loaded my bow and aimed it at the Governor. I watched as he took off his holster and threw it to one side.

"See, no trouble. Now you, can you also get your person off the roof. I don't want them listening". The Governor said.

I herd Rick sigh before lowering his gun and whistling for me to get down. I sighed and lowered my bow and put it back in my quiver. I slid off the roof and walked to the front as Herschel pulled up. Daryl saw me and walked over.

"What are you doing your meant to be up there". He said and pointed to the roof.

"Herd me apparently. Sorry. I tried". I answered.

"I know you did. It's ok. Just remember what else we need to do". Daryl said and gave me a small side hug.

"Ok". I said and leaned into him slightly before walking over to Herschel who was getting out of the car.

"He's already in there". Daryl said.

"He just sat down with Rick". I said.

"I don't see any car". Herschel said.

I felt uneasy, this feels wrong.

"Don't feel right. Keep it running". Daryl said.

I gave a small nod in agreement as Herschel closed the car door.

I herd a loud roar as a car appeared from round the corner.

"Heads up". I said and quickly rose my bow and aimed it at the car.

my baggy hoody getting in the way slightly but not putting me off to much. My hood stayed up and my hair was tucked into it. The car pulled up across from ours and two men and Andrea got out. The grip on  my bow tightened as the closed the car doors and walked closer.

"What the hell. Why's your boy already in there". Daryl said as he walked and stood next to me.

"He's here". Andrea asked.

"Yep". Daryl said his crossbow still aimed at one of the men.

Andrea sighed before walking into the barn where Rick and the Governor where. My bow was trained on the guy with glasses. Daryl soon lowered his crossbow, I lowed mine reluctantly and walked to sit on the front of the car. My hood slid further down my forehead casting a shadow over my face as took my quiver off and started to sharpen my swords.

"Maybe I should go inside". Herschel said.

"The Governor thought it best if he ad Rick spoke privately". The guy with the glasses said, he was writing into a notebook.

"Who are you". Daryl asked as he paced back and forth  next to the car.

"Milton Mamet". The guy spoke again. I snorted slightly as his last name sounded like mammoth. "Something funny". He said and looked strait at me.

I ignored him and went back to sharpening my swords.

"Great. He brought his butler". Daryl chuckled as Milton looked up.

"I'm his advisor". Milton said.

"What kind of advice". Daryl pried.

"Planning, biters. You know, I'm sorry. I don't feel like I need to explain myself to the henchmen". Milton said.

My knuckles went white as I tightened my grip on my sword.

"You better watch your mouth, sunshine". Daryl said annoyed.

"Look, if you and I are going to be out here pointing guns at each other all day, do me a favour........shut your mouth". The other guy said.

Daryl walked over to him. I slid off the car and held him back a little.

"We don't need this. If it all goes south in there, we'll be at each others throats soon enough". Herschel said.

Daryl walked off and I let go of his arm and sat on the car again. I put my sword back and got the other one out. I started to sharpen that as well. Andrea came outside looking annoyed. She went and sat on the side opposite to me, Daryl and Herschel. I watched Daryl pace, he sighed. I finished sharpening my sword and looked at him. I put my weapons back on my back as Milton came over.

"There's no reason not to use the time we have together to explore the issues ourselves". Milton said.

"I say you sit tight an shut up". The other guy said quickly.

"You mean the Governor". Daryl said and lent against the car.

"Its a good thing they're sitting down, especially after what happened. They are going to work it out. Nobody wants another battle". Milton said.

"I wouldn't exactly call it a battle".
