Your Mine ( Merle Dixons Love story)

8

I sat down with a sigh and start getting the clothes out humming softly to The Judds song.  I take out Bambi's clothes washing them first. My mind drifted off to Merle and the girls? What are we going to do? Well, technically we can't get into any real trouble because we are giving her simply a  place safe to sleep. Unlike her mother.

"Ya know yer gonna end up rippin' that shirt if ya wash it ta hard." Shane's voice made me jump I turn to look at the Deputy."Sorry, Darlin'." 

"It's fine Deputy Dipshit jus' giva lady a warnin' next time," I said putting the soapy shirt into the water. "A woman can only handle so much," I say with a smirk.

"That's a bunch o' bullshit an' ya know it." Shane says with a chuckle crouching next to me with a sigh."So ya took Sophia?" 

"Problem?" I asked wringing the shirt out before tossing it into the basket. 

"Me? No-"

"Shit head?" I asked grabbing some pants.

"-Ed though does," Shane says sighing. 

"Has he touched Sophia?" I asked looking at Shane who shifts a bit. 

"He wants 'er back by noon 'r he's goin' ta get 'er." Shane mutters.

I feel my blood boil and my hands turn into fists, "Over my goddamn dead body." I hiss. 

Shane throws his hands up like he was handling a tiger."Now calm down. Imma try and get Rick to talk him down..." 

A rev of an engine had both of us looking up and see a yellow car pull by. Out steps Ed from the driver's seat, Carol crawling out of the passenger,  Jacqui and the sisters crawling out of the back. 

"Guess I'm not the only one doin' laundry today huh?" I say looking at Shane who gave me a look." hey if anyone ya gotta worry 'bout is that wife beater." I mutter going back to doing my load. 

"Just don' kill 'im." 

"No promises Deputy," I say with a smirk. 

"Willow."

"Ah go the fuck on Shane. I got more self-control then half these motherfuckers even ya." I say waving him off making the jab about him and Lori without really saying it.  Shane sighed walking away from me towards an awaiting Carl. 

"Hello, sweetie." Jacqui greets as she needled down next to me.

"Mornin'." I mutter ringing out Merle's shirt before putting it in the basket."Hoped ya slept well." 

The woman chuckled winking at me, "Like a baby." 

After that, we all went quiet working on our respective tasks. For a good 30 minutes, we worked but there was a problem though..I could feel someone watching me and it was pissing me off. I glanced at the women. They were busy working Carol looking very pale and scared. So that meant one person. Motherfucking Ed. At least he staying by that damn truck. Yeah, keep your distance you bastard. 

I take a deep breath and continue to clean my laundry. I have two more to go then I am done and I can promptly get the hell out of here. 

"What I would give for some coffee," Jacqui says smirking. 

I chuckle a bit as Amy joined in," I miss my laptop and texting." 

"I miss my vibrator." 

I smirk wide at Andrea's statement.

Then I watched Carol look behind her before whispering, "Me too." 

I start coughing at that. 

"Wha's going on over here," Ed demanded walking over.

I glared sideways at him starting to quickly finish my shirt. Damned stain! 

"Nothing  Ed just swapping war stories," Andrea says. 

"Well get to it." This mother fucker is not just sitting there. I glance to the side and want to slap him. Of course, he is this fucking control freak. 

It was a few more minutes of quiet before Andrea stood up."You know what Ed. You want your clothes done right? Do it yourself here." 

Done. I put the last of the clothes I brought with me into the basket when I heard Ed threaten Andrea. Deep breath doesn't do anything he isn't bugging you. Don't touch him. I put on my boots and pick up my basket when I saw Ed hit Carol. 

Oh. 

Oh. HELL NO!

I throw down my laundry and storm over to the bastard. I hear people calling my name but I don't bother I grab the bastard by the front of his shirt and make him face me."Fight me fucker." I throw back a fist and hit him straight in the jaw. Knocking him back a good few feet,"C'mon Ed. Kick my ass!" I yell kicking him down. "Ya so willin' ta hurt Carol, Fight me."

I back away giving him enough room to get up before punching him again. That's when he gets up and rushes me. I laugh dancing out of his way grabbing the back of his shirt and throwing him to the ground using his momentum. I see Shane running over. 

"Sorry, Shane the fucker has it comin'!" I growl out throwing Ed over. Punching him Repeatedly. 

Over, over and over again. God this has never felt so good. Crunch, That's for Sophia, Crunch, That's for Carol, and the rest is just for the fuck of it. 

"Willow that's enough!" Shane says. 

Huh, I am surprised he waited so long. Oh well, I bring a bloodied Ed forward," Listen 'ere bastard. I don' give a fuck who ya think ya are. Lay a hand on anyone--I will beat ya ta death." With that, I throw him down letting Carol run to him. God, she pisses me off." Oh, an' ya ain't gettin' Sophia back. Not with that fucker around'." I grab my basket and walk my ass away from the starring people. 

I get back to the Camp I come to a stop at the drying line when Lori stopped me," I got it, Willow." 

I nod to her and make my way over to my camp coming to a stop and sighing seeing the two little girls playing with Carl. Summer sitting on the log Talking to Daryl making arrows.  Merle was at the edge of the came looking around and I bet you he's looking for me. When his eyes set on me I smirk and he gives me a grin back as I make my way to him. 

"Where've ya been?" Merle asked wrapping an arm around my shoulders

"Playing with frogs."
