Never Make A Promise (TWD/ Daryl Dixon FanFic)

An End To Sorrow

Everyone went back to their rooms "this sucks" I sighed flopping on the bed I haven't even used yet. "I know" Daryl agreed rubbing the back of his neck as he stood awkwardly in the doorway.

I sat up and looked at him properly "what happened to you?" Daryl frowned "what do ye mean?" "I mean, you use to be outgoing, quiet, a stubborn asshole" he grunted at that and I smiled "but now you're following Rick and everyone else like a sheep" you could literally see the anger radiating off Daryl "you know shit" he growled stepping in and shut the door behind him.

"You left. you didn't even know what went on for the past 8 years because you left!" I stood up and faced him. "you didn't even keep in contact" he finished, shouting a little "because you dont have a phone!" I yelled, using my arms for empathic.

He scowled "ye didn't.... ye didn't tell me" I frowned this time. "you left when I needed you most" that made me feel entirely guilty but I still stayed quiet. "he came back" Daryl said just above a whisper. My eyes widened, You didn't need to smart to know he was talking about his father.

"I'm sorry Daryl, I had no idea" I said softly walking up to him but he backed away like he use to when he wasn't sure about people. "you can trust me" I reached out my hand like you would to a scared puppy or a horse.

I placed my hand on his cheek and I felt him relax a little as he put a hand over mine. We stayed like that for a while until everything went dark "shit" I muttered.

We walked out of the room as did everyone else "hey Doc! what's going on?" Daryl asked as Jenner walked past all of us. "system's shutting itself down" he said hurriedly. We all followed him wanting answers.

"what do you mean its shutting itself down?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"the fuel and the basmemt generators are running out, its trying to make it last" Jenner replied with no problem.

We walked into the main control room "Doc if you don't mind me asking.... that clock, its counting down. what happens at zero?" Dale spoke up above everyone else. "the power runs out" Jenner said simply, walking away "what does that mean?" I asked, ready to kick some serious ass.

Jenner stays quiet, well that's rude! "Vi! what happens when the power runs out?!" Rick shouted "When the power runs out, facility wide decontamination will occur" everyone's eyes widened in shock.

Rick, Glenn, Shane and T-dog all went to check the generator room while everyone else went back to their own rooms. "I've have a bad feeling about this decontamination" I said wearily "what do ye suggest?" Daryl grumbled, pacing the room. "for starters..." I walked up to him and slapped him round the head "stop pacing" he growled at me but I ignored him.

"I'm keeping my stuff packed just incase" I said putting my pack on the bed "stuff? ye have a couple of outfits and pair of trainers. That's not stuff" Daryl sniggered "shut up!" I glared at him but he continued to laugh so I pounced on him.

He layed on the floor while on was straddling his waist "why'd ye do that for?" he asked in a joking way "you were being mean" I pouted "Ye always do this to people who are mean?" I pretened to think "nope, just you" I smiled.

I was then being flipped over so I was on my back "hey!" I pouted again but before I could do anything else Daryl kissed my pouted lip, biting it. I started to kiss back seconds later. His tongue brushed again my bottom lip, I weren't giving in that easily so I slipped my tongue into his mouth while he was destracted.

I giggled as he gasped but he eventually recovered and we started fighting for dominance. That's when I gave in and I let him explore my mouth as my hands tangled in his hair.

After our little make out session and by make out session I mean Daryl took my shirt off and I took his off. We walked back up into the main area where everyone else was standing.

"it was the French" Jenner blurted out as we stood by some computers. "what?" Andrea snarled "They were the last ones to hold as far as I know. While our people were bolting out the doors and committing suicide in the hallways, they stayed in the labs till the end. They thought they were close to a solution."

what happened?" Jacqui asked, no panic in her voice at all "The same thing that's happening here. No power grid. Ran out of juice. The world runs out of fossil fuel. I mean, how stupid is that!" Jenner sounded like he's lost it.

Rick shouted to everyone to grab their stuff because we were leaving "see told you we'd need our stuff already packed" Daryl grunted but before we could get out a giant melt door slammed shut.

"30 minutes til decontamination" Vi said showing it on the big screen. "Doc, what's happening?" Daryl asked, anger and panic laced in his voice. "did he just lock us in? he just locked us in" now Glenn was full on panicking.

"you son of a Bitch!" Daryl burst, he had a bottle in his hand and he lunged at Jenner trying to smash the bottle over his head. "Daryl. Daryl! stop!" I shouted pushing him off Jenner.

"Jenner! open the door now!" Rick shouted. "There's no point, everything topside is locked down. The emergancy exits are sealed" I dropped my head and shook it "well open the damn things" Daryl growled.  "That's not something I control the computers do. I told you once those doors close, they wouldn't open again. Its better this way" I looked to the side and saw Lori holding Carl and Carol holding Sophia, they were all crying.

what is? what happens in 28 minutes?!" Rick pressed on. Jenner turned away about to walk "what happens in 28 minutes?!" Rick shouted. "You know what this place is?!" Jenner spun around on his heels. "We protected the public. From very nasty stuff! Weaponized Smallpox! Ebola strains that could wipe out half the country! Stuff you don't want ever getting out! EVER!" Jenner screamed making Carl and Sophia cry harder.

Jenner sat in a chair close by and hung his head "In the event of a catastrophic power failure - in a terrorist attack for example - H.I.T's are deployed to prevent any organisms from getting out." "H.I.T's?" I questioned, walking closer to him "Vi define" he sighed.

"H.I.Ts High - Impulse Thermobaric fuel - air explosives consist of a two stage aerosul ignition that produces a blast wave significantiy greater power and duration than any other known explosive except nuclear. The vaccum - pressure effect ignites the oxygen at between 5,000° and 6,000° and useful when the greatest loss of life and damage to structures is desired." Vi is such a smart ass.

"it sets the air on fire" Jenner explained, seeing our confused faces. "No pain. An end to sorrow, grief, regret - everything." sure, why not....
