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

Chapter seventeen

The next day we got to Alexandria and it looked untouched by the world around it. These people didn't know the horrors of being outside these walls they were playing house and I didn't like it. We all interviewed by the head lady Diana I think she asked us a lot of questions some seemed ridiculous to me. She insisted to know my name but I told her it didn't matter.
They had decided to let us in and give us 'jobs'. They almost didn't want to accept me because of my lack of cooperation, but Rick insisted I stayed because i was a part of the family. When they had asked us to give in our weapons I upright refused but then Carol convinced me to give them most of them. I quickly started taking all my weapons off. All the knives, arrows, bat, and bows. I refused to let go of the crossbow and a knife. The men collecting the weapons looked at me like I had grown another head. "What?" I asked and they immediately brushed it off. Carol and Rick laughed "any thing else you're hiding" they raised their eyebrows and I huffed. I lifted up my shirt to show a belt of knives and needles and thread. "There happy" I said and now everyone was looking at me like I had a second head. "What I like to be prepared?" I said,"better safe than sorry" I grab little Judy and bounce her on my hip. "Is she yours?" Asked one of the men. I laughed "No she's Rick's she just likes me" I say. They showed us around a bit then gave us two houses. It was fishy so we decided to stay together the first night. I couldn't sleep so I got up and went up the stairs into a room. It looked light blue and it had a crib it had a teddy bear. It was for a baby boy. "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Look what I made!" I turn and I look but he's not there. Instead I see a figure in the room with me. It took me a second but I realized it was Daryl. "Whatcha doin up here?" He asked. I picked up the stuffed bear and walked to the window. "I had a kid, I was just thinkin bout him." I said. He stood there silently for a moment or two then replied, "what happened to 'im ?" I look outside then at him I hesitated. "He dead" I simply said. "How" he said in a gruff tone. "Ummmm.... I was makin dinner one night and he was playin in the living room when that bastard came in drunk..... he had started screamin and yellin at me..... my little boy got scared ran out of the house onto the street he got hit by a car that didn't see him.... he was in the hospital brain dead..... he wasn't going to wake up so I did the only thing I know was right I took him off the machine.... I just couldn't stand him just laying there not ever being able to move again...... I know he wasn't there any more I couldn't be selfish and keep him there so I made a decision and I lost him...." I explained in a soft tone. "He loved to eat strawberries sometimes it was hard to get him to eat something other than that" he was so silent I thought he had left but then I turned and he was still standing in the same place with a look of confusion on his face.
