Dammit Dixon (Daryl Dixon Love story)

Chapter 35

"I didn't want to leave Carl, I went to try and help Hershel but I got over run by walkers. I had no choice but to run."

"You better put that gun down Carl." Darren says as he and Rachel walks over to us.

"Carl. Please don't shoot mom." Rachel pleads.

"It's okay sweetie, why don't you go play?" I say in a soft voice.

"Carl, don't do this." Beth states.

"I just wanted to see the baby, that's all. I ain't gonna hurt no body."

"Carl? Put the gun down boy, there's no need for this." Hershel walks over to us(He was on crutches).

"Axel take Rachel away." I say.

"No mom!" Rachel says, she wouldn't go with him.

"Shes not to be trusted! Dad said so!" Carl yells.

"Lil man, come on. You know I can be trusted. " I take another step.

"You cant!"

"I just wanna say hi to the new addition okay? I promise I wont hurt no one."

"Stay away from my sister!" There was a loud bang before I felt a sudden pain on my side, I put my hand to the place and feel it to see why it was hurting. I see blood was now all over my hand, I look at Carl who had guilt written all over his face.

"MOM!" Was the last thing I heard before I blacked out

-Darrens POV-

I catch mum as she fell back, I could feel her blood leaking onto my hands.

"Mom. You cant go. Please." I beg.

"Get her onto the table now!" Hershel demands, Axel helps me lift her onto the closest table we could get her on which was in the beginning of the cells where mum was forced to stay when she first got here. Hershel rips open her shirt where she was shot and starts working on it right away with he help of Carol and Beth, Axel held me back so I couldn't get any closer to mom. All I could see was blood all over my hands.

"MOMMA!" Rachel cries, she was at the doors. I get out of Axel's grip and go to Carl, I felt nothing but anger.

"Ye' stupid idiot! She did nuthin' wrong!" I yell at Carl.

"She was gonna hurt Judith!" He yells back.

"No she wasn't! She'd never hurt anyone especially kids! Ye' fuckin' shot 'er fer no reason! Ye' know she can be trusted!"

"I thou-" I grab him by his collar and hold him up against a wall.

"No, ye' didn't think. I sweat te' god if she's gone, this will be on ye' an' yer dad!"

"Darren!" Rachel runs over to me, I let go of Carl and take a step back. He had tears in his eyes, good. The idiot just shot our mom. "You're a bad man Carl! Just like uncle Jamie!"

"Darren. Rachel." Carol walks over to us, she had blood over her hands too.

"How is she?" I question.

"She's going to be okay, Hershel's done all he can."

"Thank god." We walk over to mum, she had bandages over her wound and there was blood everywhere. Rachel clung onto my leg.

"She's out of it, I don't know how long for but I know she'll make it. It's all up to her now." Hershel speaks.

"Thank you."

"Thank you Mr Hershel." Rachel goes over and hugs him.

-Megan's POV-

"Daryl, you ready?" I question, I was on guard duty outside Rachel's room. And by guard duty I mean we (Me, Beth, Maggie, Lori and Carol) took in turns making sure no boys came in especially Carl. Daryl was stood close by, he's never done this before.
