Girl in the mask(A Daryl Dixon Love Story) (Under revision)

Chapter two

Ghost P.O.V
I was never good with people not since shit hit the fan no one and no where was safe anymore all up until I saw I man with a kid and a lady with a sword that needed help and I couldn't just walk away as hard as I tried the kid reminded me so much of someone I use to love I couldn't just turn  away. So I interfered and killed the remaining few walkers and gave them a look over they looked tired and very hungry so without a second thought I reached in my bag and handed them three of the cans of my remaining four cans and started to walk away.
"Wait why don't you join us" the kid said and I stopped and turned to look at them debating to trust them or not I looked at them for a few seconds and thought if they wanted to kill me they would have by now but still. "Not much of a talker are you... look we need the help and you seem like a nice person so please come with us" the man said and I looked at him for a bit then nodded.
"First can we ask you some questions " he asked and I nodded " how many walkers have you killed?" I shrugged not knowing the answer "how many people have you killed?" I shook my head no to show I hadn't killed anyone "why?" It took me a moment to answer " I haven't had a reason to I've never been in a group or gone near anyone since shit hit the fan" I finally said.
"What's your name" the lady asked. "Just call me Ghost my real name doesn't matter anymore" I said as I looked done. "Why is that?" The boy ask. "That person doesn't exist anymore and she sure as hell not coming back anymore but who knows I might tell you someday" I said in a tone that showed I didn't care.
"We're going to a place called Terminus would you like to come yes or no" the man said and I nodded why not they seem like good people.
"Ok then we should be on our way it's getting dark and we need to set up camp" he said and turned to walk down the tracks again. As we walked I found out their name were Rick, Carl and Michone. They talked for a bit and the kid keep asking me questions I answered some as best I could and the rest I let hang in the air. Best not to tell them much in case they decide I'm not worth keeping around.
We walked a while and then we turned into a the forest and found a clearing with a car for shelter. We set up camp and them sat around the warm fire then Carl said he was going to sleep and went to the car to rest. There was an awkward silence then Rick and Michone started talking to each other. I didn't join the conversation I just stared at the fire remembering my life before things went down hill.
I had a happy childhood I had two parents that loved me and a younger brother and sister they were twins inseparable. I also remembered the bad times before this apocalypse happened and the reason I wear this mask for my safety and sanity and not to scare people. Well I couldn't scare people as bad as the walkers did. I was lost in my own mind just staring at the fire.
I hadn't noticed the group that had ambushed us not until I heard the gun shot and I sprung up and took care of the man behind me and I knocked his face in then I saw two of them beating this man I assume was with they and I guess he betrayed them in some way but I stepped in and killed them both.
Then I turned and looked at Rick he was finishing off the last one whom had attacked Carl. Then he turned and looked at us. He stopped at me and I said "well looks like I've killed three people now"
Rick looked at the man then to me "Ghost this is Daryl he's a friend" he said and I gave him a nod in acknowledgment. Then there was an uncomfortable silence so I turned and started to climb a tree. "You guys get some sleep I'll take first watch" I said as I climbed " also clean up your face" I hear him chuckle. Then I hear the two men start a conversation probably about me but I ignored it and I got to the branch I wanted to be on. I keep look out for a while then my mind drifted somewhere else.
"Your nothing I could kill you right now and no one would care or bat an eyelash!" He yelled at me as I was on the floor crying from all the hits I had just taken and yet he still kept on kicking me while I was down.
This went on for a few more minutes then he spit on me and walked away. "Stupid ugly bitch you got blood on my boots" he said and walked away as if it was my fault I laid there in my blood and tears not being able to move. I passed out from the pain.
I was scared was he right would no one care if I died.
Why was I even still here no one would care.
"Hey Ghost it's my turn to keep watch"Rick called yanking me from my thoughts of a horrible memory. "Ok I'll be right down" I said as I wiped the tears I didn't know had started to fall then I slowly made my decent down the tree. I hope it wasn't noticeable I had been crying.
When I made it to the ground Rick just started watch at the tree line. The fire was still on and the man, Daryl, was still up he looked at me as I took a seat near the fire. I wasn't really in the sleeping mood.
"So" he said "what's with the mask" I looked at him and gave him a don't ask look. "Come on if you're going to be in this group you're going to have to trust us" he continued. I sighed "This isn't about not trusting you it's about not making anyone uncomfortable when they look at me" I said pointing to the cloth covering half my face. "What happened?" He asked in a hesitant voice. "It doesn't matter it already happened nothing can change that so don't worry about it it won't affect you or your friends" I said. "Still I'd like to see the face of the person who saved my ass in a way" he said. "Well this is my face now get use to it I have " I said in a harsh tone making him drop the subject. "Fine what I try to be nice" he said angrily and started to walk away "you know what screw you" he said and walked away. "I've been screwed from the start" I muttered and decided it was best to avoid him what with him angry and asking questions I can't answer yet. I have to tell them sooner or later why I wear the mask but I'd prefer it be later rather than sooner.
