Holding On {Daryl Dixon}

Worried

Chapter 15- Worried

After we woke up Hershel changed the gauze that was wrapped around my left calf and Daryl's head and right side. Hershel said it'd be okay for Daryl to stay in our tent to recover. Once I got Daryl on the colt, he passed out again from the medication Hershel gave him.

I walked out of the tent and back towards the house. When I got there I walked inside to see Hershel walking out of the room where Carl was.

"What do you need RoseAnn? Did something go wrong with Daryl?" Hershel asked.

"No he's fine. I was wondering if I could take a horse out to look for Sophia?" I asked tilting my head slightly to the side.

"Go ahead. when you walk into the stable the first horse on your right, Ace, take him. He's calmer then Nervous Nelly." Hershel said I realize Nervous Nelly was probably the horse Daryl was on yesterday.

"Thanks." I gave a half-forced smile and walked outside and towards the RV I saw Carol hanging up some of the clothes from yesterday with Kyla.

"Hey Carol could I talk to you for a minute?" I asked here and she turned her head to look at me and nodded 'yes' and walked over to me.

"I need you to do something for me." I said quietly to her. She nodded her head for me to continue.

"I need you to tell Daryl, when he wakes up, that I'm looking for Sophia and if he comes after for me I need you to stop him." I told her.

"I will, I promise. Thank you for trying to find my little girl." She smiled sadly at me and I smiled back. I then walked up to Kyla who stopped hanging up clothes to listen to Carol and I's conversation.

"Are you going to be okay out there on your own?" Kyla asked once I was in front of her.

"Yeah. I will be. You still got the gun I gave you?" I asked her back. Kyla lifted her shirt to show the handgun that was at her waist. I nodded and kissed her forehead.

"I'll be back soon. I promise." I told her and walked off towards the tent Daryl was in. I walked inside and saw he was still sleeping I grabbed me quiver and bow from corner Daryl's crossbow next to it. I looked at Daryl, he looked peaceful. Not nervous about sleeping. I walked over to him and kissed his forehead, he moved around a little before stopping. I walked out of our tent and towards the stables.

I got Ace out of his corners,he was dark brown and white, I put a saddle on him and got on. I placed my quiver over my should and my bow in a bag that was in front of my right leg that was attached to the saddle and started towards the woods.

I woke and looked outside it was around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I then looked over to my right, I expected to see RoseAnn or Kyla even, but I saw nothing but a lantern, RoseAnn's bag and only my crossbow. I noticed her bow and quiver weren't there. This made me nervous.

I got up and walked out of the tent and towards the rest of the group. Everyone besides RoseAnn was there.

"Where the hell is she " I demanded more than asked; Everyone's heads turned towards me some seemed shocked the others seemed nervous and scared but no one answered.

"Kyla? Where is she?" I asked her knowing Ro would tell her if she left.

"She's out on a horse in the woods." Kyla answered walking towards me she put her hand over my fist that I didn't know I was making.
