Never Make A Promise (TWD/ Daryl Dixon FanFic)

Never Give Up

Everyone minus Daryl who was still passed out, were outside waiting for Rick to come back with Sophia.

There was some rustling in the trees in front of us and Shane was right on it with his gun raised. We all watched anxiously, waiting for whatever it was to stumble out.

When a hedge parted everyone backed away except me and Shane. I just wanted to see whatever it was, eat Shane's face off but when Rick came out he lowered his weapon and waited for him to come up the hill.

I then realised that no-one was with him and I guess Carol did too. "where is she?" she ran up and met him halfway "she's not back?" Rick asked.... confused? "what?" I raised an eyebrow. "I told her that if I wasn't back to make her way back to the highway." Carol broke down in tears listening to that "my baby" she wailed.

Everyone kept talking all at once, it was so annoying I couldn't concentrate on one conversation. But I pay attention when a slam of a door was heard. I looked up and saw Daryl standing there, he was just then pulling his shirt down over his torso.

He walked towards me and I thought I would meet him halfway. Once I got closer to him I ran and leaped into his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck. Daryl seemed really tense but he soon let up and I pulled away.

"What err... what happened?" he questioned gesturing to the crying Carol. "you want the long version or the short version?" I asked, smiling at him "short" I chuckled at his quick answer and told him about Sophia running away and Rick going after her. I left out the part about him yelling out in pain and the heard of walkers. All men like their masculinity and hearing that they cried out in pain is probably something man doesn't want to hear especially Daryl.

"We gotta find her before it gets dark" Rick said "ye can't track for shit" Daryl interrupted, walking over to the group "don't even think about it" I warned him, knowing he was going to volunteer. "fine... you lead" Rick pointed at Daryl then at me "you're coming too" I let out a whine "what?" Rick mimicked my whine.

I glared at him. "you've never been tracking with Daryl have you?" Rick shook his head, I smiled.

"Trust me, you're gonna regret ever volunteering me to go tracking with Daryl" I think I frightened the stuffing out of Glenn who had to come. Rick looked ready to take on that challenge "let's go"

20 minutes later....

"its this way!" "ye stupid?! its this way" I smirked at how angry Daryl gets. I knew it was the way he said but I wanted to whined him up a little. "I'm not stupid! insane yes, not stupid" I pointed out.

Glenn looked either shocked or frightened I werent sure but I don't think he liked it when I fought with Daryl. "Jamie, stop messing with Daryl" Rick shouted at me like I was a dog or a little child. Daryl.... man up" Daryl glared at Rick with a stare that could kill and I bursted into laughter. He then turned to me with that same glare.

"next time ye are kidnapped or in trouble and need someone to track ye, don't expect me to be there" I knew it was just the anger talking but what he said actually hurt me.

I shook my head and noticed everyone walking down by a creek "she definitely did what you said and headed back towards the highway" Daryl pointed up where Glenn was "hey chinamen. get out the way, ye messing up the trail" Glenn scurried out the way making me giggle.

"she was doing good up until here" we were now in the middle of the woods. "all she had to do it keep going" I looked at the tracks "she trailed off that way" I pointed to my left. Daryl smiled at me as if he was impressed.

"so Daryl, how's your back?" Rick asked as we headed back to the highway, I looked over at him but Rick kept his eyes up ahead. I could see Daryl's eyes widen as he glimpsed at me but then realisation crossed his face "fine" he huffed. "thanks to me" I muttered making him scoff and we carried on walking.

Once on the highway Daryl went straight to his truck and Rick walked up to Carol. I just stood kinda in the middle wondering where to go.

"you didn't fine her?" Carol whimpered "I'm sorry, we'll pick up the trail at first light" Rick tried to convince her. "how could you of left her in the first place" Carol's whimpers turned into anger. "there's no point tracking in the dark" Daryl's voice was heard from behind me "we'll be stumbling over ourselfs" she seemed to listen to Daryl as she dropped the conversation and stormed off in the R.V.

I turned to Daryl and smiled but he just gave me the cold shoulder and turned to Rick "I'll take first watch" Rick gave him a nod and Daryl walked up the steps to the R.V, him and dale had a little conversation before dale nodded and climbed down the ladder. He walked into the R.V. probably to get some rest.

I sighed. Daryl is hard work but I refuse to give up on him, he's just as stubborn as me. Some people say we butt heads but all those people are most likely dead.... The point is I'm never giving up.

Never say Never! get it? aha oh... ok. Well anyway Jamie really knows how to piss Daryl off huh? just like me with my family and friends ;D So is everyone enjoying this story? I hope so! love to y'all!

Did you know the actors/actresses that play the walkers have to go to zombie school to learn how to walk and move like a zombie. During shooting, the actors playing the walkers eat dinner together and the humans are separated.
