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

Chapter nine

Daryl P. O. V.
I hadn't expected Ghost to be so pissed off when she found Carol had been kidnapped but she just started yelling at me. I even saw her get teary eyed I think. Noah had to step in to make sure she didn't hit me or somethin'.

That didn't stop her from threatening me then going into the church and start punching the wall. "Ghost stop!" Rick yelled "Stop!" She ignored him and just kept sobbing and punching the wall. It got so bad she made dents in the wall and Rick and Tyrese had to get her to stop and it wasn't easy.

Tyrese then took her off to the side and bandaged her up. When they got back you could clearly see that blood was seeping through the bandages on her knuckles but she didn't look like she was in pain. She just looked worried and angry but not at me when she looked at me it was a look of guilt like she know she had done somethin' wrong towards me. I didn't blame her though she had every right to snap at me but I wasn't going to let her see that she got to me. I still didn't trust her even if she saved my life.

I explained everything to everyone and that Noah was good kid and he know where Beth and Carol were and would help us get them both back.

We came up with a plan to take to of the 'policemen' hostage and trade them for our people but for now we needed to rest and we'd head out in the morning. Ghost volunteered to keep watching saying she wouldn't be able to sleep even if she wanted to and everyone agreed. What did I miss while I was gone even Michone and Sasha agreed and it wasn't long ago that they were against her being here.

I volunteered too and Rick almost told me not to that it was fine but I gave him a look that said 'don't try to talk me out of it.' Ghost nodded and lead the way outside all her weapons in hand. All her knives, her gun and crossbow and a bat she had picked up a while back when we brought it back from the run. Noah gave me a look that clearly showed he was scared of her. "Dawn has nothing on her" I heard him mumble. "You got that right" Tyrese said "I don't think anyone has anything on her" Rick added giving me a worried look. He was probably thinking my mouth would get me in trouble with her.

"She ain't that bad" I said and turned and started to head after her. "You say that now wait till she really decides to kick your ass" Tyrese chuckled which I shook my head to and stepped outside.

We sat in silence for a while then she spoke "Sorry I snapped at you." I looked at her but I didn't say anything. She was fiddling with the bandages on her knuckles. She seemed very timid now than a couple of days before when I met her back then she was more withdrawn and didn't really care to much for talking. "I don't know what got into and I'm sorry for that it's just Carol is the only person I have left from my life before this and this shity world" she said pointing to herself and gesturing around her. "Why won't you take that stupid mask off anyways?" I asked and she stiffened. "I have a lot of really nasty scars on my face and all over my body and I don't like people seeing them because I just can't handle that this is my face now. I know it's stupid in a world like this one but I just can't bring myself to do it just take it off and be done with it especially when I see my reflection and I just remember every bad thing that has happened to me and how I was to weak to handle it before and now I have the constant reminders that I'm pathetic and that deep done I will never change and one day I'm just going to snap and go back to how I was before a pathetic piece of shit who doesn't deserve to exist. And your probably not listening to what I'm saying so I'm just going to to shut up and take a quick look around the church" she chuckled bitterly and got up to walk away. "You ain't pathetic" I whispered so low she probably didn't hear it because she was out of ear shot quicker than a bullet.

I sat there and thought about what she said and thought she really has no self respect but she cares deeply about others. The thought of her hugging Carol and how she held little ass kicker. She seemed to be a good person so why and how did she end up the way she did with an asshole who made her hate herself so much.

I can't believe what I was about to do but I went after her but before I could get to her I heard sobbing and whispering then I saw her crouched down facing the side wall of the church. Her body was shaking from the sobs and she was holding a cloth in her hand and I noticed I could see a part of her chin and neck. She wasn't wearing her mask.

She was crying so loud she couldn't hear me coming over to her. "You 'lright?" I asked making sure I couldn't see her face so she wouldn't be more upset. She shook her head no and kept on sobbing like a baby.

I let it keep going on for a while. "Go on inside you need your rest" I said and she shook her head again. "If you're staying I am too" she managed to get out through the sobs. "Go on I got this covered you'll only attract them walkers if you stay out here with me" I snapped getting annoyed with her persistences to keep on going on like this. She stiffened at my statement then she stood up and put her mask back on then turned to face me. Her eyes were dull "I said I'm staying if you're staying so shut up" she said and walked back to the front of the church me following close behind.

"Why are you being so stupid and stubborn just go in inside and go to fuckin' sleep damn it" I snapped feeling very annoyed with her. She ignored me and sat at the steps again. I was starting to get really frustrated with this stupid girls attitude first she was all vulnerable then she want to act all tough.

I finally decided to ignore her and just sit on the other side of the steps and keep watch like I was supposed to. We stayed like that for about another hour then Tyrese and Sasha came to release us from guard duty. When we went inside she went to the corner she punched in earlier and laid down without a blanket and went to sleep. She didn't take off her mask ether does she ever take that thing off. I decided to just leave it and sleep for as long as I could 'cause after tonight I wasn't going to be sleepin' for a while.
