Daryl Dixon Imagines

Fire

“Paul!” I crashed through the door panting. “Where the fuck have you been!?” He had went missing yesterday and even though I had gotten used to not seeing my brother a few days every now and then he usually told me where he went, but more importantly he had always told me that he went out. This time it was different.

“Nice to see you too, sis!” Paul was sitting at our table with a glass of water in his hand as if nothing happened. “I went out, nothin’ special.”

“Nothing special?! You hid in Negan’s truck, you snuck into our enemies’ camp risking your life, and you’re telling me it was ‘nothing special!?” I tried to keep calm, keep my voice down but it was hard.

“I see you already know what happened”, he said grinning at me. “I got them out though.”

“Paul, this isn’t funny… I was worried!”

“I know…” Paul sighed deeply and stood up opening his arms to hug me. “Look… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you worry but.. they’re good people. They’re worth it.”

“Jeez, Paul… you’re driving me crazy, you know that?!”, I said throwing myself into his arms. He was the only person I had left in this world after our parents died. He had saved me multiple times and without him I wouldn’t have made it to Hilltop, to safety. I couldn’t stand when he went out on such risky missions.

“You know, you could call me Jesus, like everyone else does!?”, he laughed brushing through my hair.

“I could but… I’m not everyone else, I’m your sister. I have a right to call you by your first name.” Growing up with him, watching him go through every embarrassing phase there was and of course trying to be just like him, I couldn’t bring myself to call him Jesus…

“I basically am your savior anyway, sis! So, it would only be right!” Paul protested and hugged me a little tighter.

“Yeah, you wish!”

We laughed for a while hugging each other before Jesus took a step back to look at me.

“You’ve already met Maggie and Sasha… I’m sure if you meet the others too, you’ll understand why I had to do it.”

I sighed deeply. “I’ve known you all my life, Paul, I know why you did it. And I’m sure… if you had told me, I would have jumped in without asking…”

“That’s why I love you, sis.” Jesus throw an arm around my shoulders with a wide grin on his face. “Now, let’s go and meet Daryl. I’m sure you’ll like him.”

He was sitting in a dark corner at the back of the trailer, his hair was messy and he had borrowed clothes from Paul. A dirty looking pullover with something that looked like an A was hanging on a chair to his left. He looked broken and furious at the same time, the look in his eyes when he noticed Paul and me was disturbing. What did he see? What did Negan do to him!?

“So…this is a war”, I mumbled as I entered the small room. Seeing the look on their faces, there was no doubting it. We had a big storm coming.

“What do you think, sis…”, Paul whispered next to me.

“It’s gonna be bad… Does Gregory know?”

“No.” Paul looked me up and down as if I had said something incredibly stupid.. which I probably had. Gregory would have betrayed us all in the blink of an eye if it meant saving his own sorry ass.

Daryl snorted. “Maggie told me 'bout him…”

“She’s gonna be in charge and she’s gonna lead us all to victory.” I looked from Daryl to Paul and back to Daryl who was nodding, a distant smile on his face.
