Chapter 6~~I Didn't Even Get To Say Goodbye

Georgia POV
We were in the city and in a building where Merle was left..... all Daryl found was a hand... right now we are getting the guns, Daryl and I with Glenn, Rick and T watching out for us. Glenn ran over and got the guns

"What are you doing with our guns!"

"They are ours. Our friends brought them to the city!"

"They are ours! We found them!"

"Their ours!" One of the men who we were fighting with grabbed me and Glenn, then dragged us away.

Daryl POV
I shot one of the guys but they were able to get way, because I didn't hit them anywhere that would cause more then a limp

"This is your fault!" I yelled at Rick

"Where's Georgia and Glenn?"

"Some guys took them!"

"Well, lets go get them"

"Yes lets go now!"

Rick nodded and we left.

"Then we can go get them"

We drove to wherever they were. Some of the men were waiting for us

"Give us the guns!"

"No." Rick said

"Now or we put a bullet through your friends heads!"  We looked up and I saw Georgia and Glenn, with bags over their heads.

An older women came out and said something then lead us with them. They had a bunch of older people, like a retirement home.

"We have to give them some of the guns. To protect these people and get ours back" I said.

"Ok." Rick said then turned to one of the men "we give you half the guns, half the ammunition. You give us our people"

"Deal"

We traded and got Georgia and Glenn back. First thing Georgia did was run, with a bit of a limp, to me, and she hugged me. I hugged her back, and we went back to camp.

Georgia POV
On the way back a just sat by Daryl, holding on to his hand because of some bad stuff that happened while Glenn and I were locked up. I was afraid I'd never see Daryl again.

"You two seem real close. A lot closer then friends" Glenn said to us

"Just really good friends" Daryl said.

"Suuuurreee then why is she holding your hand?"

"Glenn you don't even know what one of those men did while I was locked up. We weren't in the same room you wouldn't know." I said "I'm still afraid about what happened."

"Ok."

Daryl whispered to me "want to talk about it?"

I whispered back "when we get to our own tent" we got to camp and there were walkers everywhere. We helped kill them all.

~the next morning~

As looking at the walkers I found two, Martha and Juan. I dropped to my knees by their feet.

"You know these two?" Rick asked

"They raised me."

"Your Mom and Dad?"

"My adoptive parents, but yes"

"Well, sorry bout your loss" he walked away.

I whispered to them "I didn't even get to say goodbye." A few tears rolled down my face. Then Glenn and t-dog walked up.

"Georgia, we need to burn these bodies" Glenn said to me

"These were my parents! I'm going to bury them weather you like it or not!"

"Georgia, they weren't our people"

"They were mine. If you want to burn them, call me Maria and leave me alone" I decided not to long ago that I was gonna have the people whom I learned to hate call me Maria And the people whom were my friends Georgia.

"Why would we call you some name that isn't yours?" They said together

"It's the name Loretta and Juan gave me. It's the name I grew up using. Call me that. Now leave me and my parents alone" t and Glenn walked away.

I heard a single gunshot, I know it was Andrea shooting Amy.  Then someone walked over to me

"Need help carrying Loretta and Juan to a grave site?" Daryl asked

"Please and thank you" I stood up and picked up Loretta. Daryl picked up Juan. We carried them and since all our people were Buried, but someone dug two holes for my parents. We laid them down and buried them. I sat by the graves and Daryl stood there. "You know you don't have to stay here"

"I want to be here for you. No other reason, just for you. You went with, risked your life, for my brother, and to find them"

"Thank you Daryl." I looked up at him and smiled.

He sat down and I was unsure weather or not to lean into him, then he pulled me closer to him. "I'll be here for you"

Then we heard Shane and Rick fighting. We ran down there and they were fighting on where to go. So I piped in.

"I know somewhere that's close but not to close"

"Where?" Rick and Shane said, a little bit of yelling at me.

"My parents, they had a safe place in their supermarket, in Macon."

"We could go there" Rick said "and if all goes south we can go to the CDC"

"If anyone does it's your two's faults" Shane pointed at me and Rick "we leave in the morning"

Daryl and I walked to the tent we share and put our stuff in my truck and we put Merle's motorcycle in the back on my truck and he decided to cyphan the gas from his truck. We took down the tent and put it in the truck.

I yawned "so where are we gonna sleep?"

"The cab or the bed of my truck"

"The cab. Sounds nice, but so does the bed of the truck. You pick"

"Lets go with the bed of the truck. We can sleep on opposite sides"

I mumbled "or by eachother"

"Not yet"

"Alright" we each made separate beds on either side, by that I mean we have one blanket under the both of us and each have our own blankets. I curled up and laid there, it was getting cold and I started to shiver

"Are you cold" Daryl said to me.

"A little, but I'll be fine"

"Come 'ere" he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close, covered me in his blanket and mine, then we drifted off to sleep.

I hope you are all enjoying. This is probably my best story, meaning my thought process on it, I've written, but also my least popular. The thought process is why there's slow updates. I try to think of things to add to the story.

Please vote, share with your friends, and comment if you want too.

What's gonna happen? If the group gonna find out about Daryl and Georgia? Are T-dog, Glenn, and Georgia gonna start to get along again? What are they going to find in Macon? Shall I include the telltale game characters too?
