Guardian Angel (Daryl Dixon)

If I Stay

Important note; there is some smut in this chapter, which I am horrible at. Lol. Forgive me,

I laughed as Shane told me one of his many stories, I didn't think I would enjoy riding to the CDC with him, but I did. He may be untrustworthy in my opinion, but for now he's my comic relief. We pulled up to the CDC Daryl was parked in front of us, I giggled at his death glare towards me. Such an angry little redneck. I fell into step with Glenn who gave me a warm smile before heading off. All of our weapons were at the ready, dead bodies lay everywhere, to the point where a few of us had to cover our noses.

"Keep quiet." Rick hushed everyone and led us on to the tall building. He pounded on the doors, but nothing happened. Geeks started showing up from all directions. Panic struck the whole group, Daryl took out some with his cross bow and I followed in suit.

"Fort Benning is still an option, let's go Rick!" Shane shouted trying to pull the deputy sheriff away from the doors.

"Good goin, ya just doomed us all." Daryl snapped stepping closer to Rick.

"You shut up. He made a call." Shane threatened stepping in between. Daryl huffed and turned back around to the growing threat.

"Sam watch it!" Daryl pulled me behind him and shot a crawling walker in the head.

"Thought you weren't savin my ass anymore." I mocked in my best southern accent, earning a loud grunt from Daryl.

"Yeah well, if I don't then who else is gonna." I hide my smile and returned to hitting walkers in the head.

"Rick we have to go!"

"No! The camera, it moved! He argued banging on the large door again.

"You imagined it!" Dale finally spoke up earning a glare from me.

"You don't know that." I pointed at the older man.

Daryl grabbed my arm and started pulling me with him towards the vehicles.

"We gotta get out of here!"

"You're killing us! Please you're killing us!" Rick cried out to the camera, I turned just in time to see the door open and a blinding white light.

His name is Dr. Jenner, he is a scientist, the last scientist here to be exact. We had to agree to let him take a blood sample from each of us, just in case. The place he led us to was under ground, which gave me a bit of anxiety along with Carol.

"She hasn't ate in days." Jacqui mentioned lightly to then doctor when Andrea almost passed out. The corner of his mouth went up for a small smile. Next thing I know we're all sitting at a large table, eating food and drinking wine. I sat by Sophia with Daryl on the other side of me.

"Oh come on, let him have a drink." Dale coaxed Lori into giving a taste of the wine to Carl.

"Okay fine." The young boy took a big gulp and then made a strange face.

"Gross!" He pushed the drink as far away as possible making then room roar with laughter.

Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Daryl get up and pour more wine into Glenns glass.

"Not you China man, I wanna see how red your face gets!" Daryl laughed and then look his seat back next to me.

"You to Princess." I glared at the nickname but let him fill my glass back up.

"So Doc, are you going to tell us what the hell happened here. Why are you the only person left?"

"You couldn't let us enjoy a few minutes. Could you Shane?" I frowned staring at him.
