Wild Roses ~Daryl Dixon Love Story~•

The Farm

Daryl P.O.V
I walked with Rose heading back to the farm, noticing she was making some sorta trail, "What on earth are ya' doin' woman?" I asked breaking the comfortable silence. "In case I wanna go back there, to, ya' know, wash up.." she answered. I couldn't blame her, I'd want to go back there if I was er' to. It was quite beautiful, I guess she fit in there- wait, did I just call er' beautiful? I guess I did.. at least I didn't say it aloud. I had to admit she was very pretty, I heard the rushing water from a waterfall, and thought it'd be a good idea to go check it out, maybe fill up on water. Until I saw her. She was beautiful really, the cool water falling gently over er' face and hair, making er' skin look all silky. I couldn't help but watched as she scrubbed all of the dirt from er' face. Of course, I didn't see anything but the tops of er' shoulders, because I would of not looked if I saw er' whole body. I saw er' start to come out, so I moved away, but stupid ol' me ran right into a bush, causin' er' to look right at me. After a good long 10 minutes of er' lookin' around, I came up to er' with my crossbow raised. Now, she's just behind me followin' me back to the group. Didn't expect that to happen. Once we reached the edge of the forest beside the farm, I motioned for er' to come over so I could talk to er'. "Careful, they don't know who you are so they might draw on ya', so just stay calm an' don't draw on them, but it might be hard to draw with no arrows" I said, and she nodded calmly as we walked into the open field. The sun was about half way down and I could see er' start to smile at the sunset. Curious faces were painted on everyone as we walked up, until Shane came up and pointed a shotgun in er' face. Well, this should be good..

Rose P.O.V
I had a bad feeling as soon as I got close and we saw people. All of them looked at me like I was some sort of rare gem. Until some guy about the same height as Daryl, with a bald egg shaped head who in all honesty, looked like a complete jackass, pointed a shot gun in my face. I didn't really flinch or anything, Daryl did warn me. Almost instantly Daryl ripped the guys shot gun out of the guys hands and tossed it beside him. "What the hell man?! She could be dangerous!" He screamed at Daryl, who just shook his head and blankly replied "If she was dangerous you really think I'd taker er' back with me?" pinching the bridge of his nose. "I didn't peg you for someone who'd bring back strays, Daryl" The egg headed guy spat in Daryl's face. "Don't go there Shane." Daryl spat, inching closer to the guy, who's name must have been Shane. They almost started to fight when a man with short curly brown hair and stunning baby blue eyes walked up. "Hey what's going on here?" He asked the two guys who were giving each other death glares. Shane finally backed up, and turned to face the man I have decided to nickname BabyBlue, because of his eyes. "Daryl brought home a pretty little stray." Shane exclaimed, looking at me with pure lust. Instantly, I felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave. BabyBlue looked at me with sympathy, seeing the look I was getting from Shane. "Hi there, I'm Rick Grimes, may I ask your name?" he asked very politely. He reminded me so much of my brother It took all of my strength not to burst into tears, but I don't cry. Crying makes you weak and weak gets you killed. "Rose Assana, nice to meet you" I said, offering a hand which he shook. I still couldn't take my eyes off of the beautiful baby blues. He noticed I was staring, and smiled a bit, which in return, I blushed quite embarrassed. I think I'm going to call him BabyBlue from now on, it suits him. "So, Daryl brought you back then?" He asked. I nodded in response. "Well, I'm going to have to ask you some questions then, and talk to the group about letting you stay. What can you offer to help out with the group?" I was about to tell him about only staying the night, but thought I might as well just answer his questions. "I can do a lot, but I honestly prefer to hunt, and go on runs" I replied, which earned a small smirk from Daryl. A Korean man with black hair walked up towards us as soon as I mentioned runs to town, I'm guessing he does that kind of stuff. He gave a warm smile which I returned gratefully. "Is there anything we should know about you before letting you into the group?" Rick asked again. A million memories of the past rushed through my mind, about the groups I've met, and my step father. "Not that I know of" was all I could answer with. Rick nodded and turned to face everyone in the group, so I was left alone. I tried to make out some of their whispers. "she could be a valuable member.." I heard the Korean whisper. "She could be an asset.." I heard a woman with long brown hair whisper, earning a lot of nods from others. "She could be dangerous, What do we know about her anyways? she could be a murderer. she could take our stuff.." Shane explained, but Daryl was soon to barge in "I've seen er' fight walkers. She's good, She ain't gonna kill us er' nuthin'. She's a good hunter too, we could use the help of another tracker to help find Sophia." Daryl added. He hasn't seen me fight the dead, so maybe he was just lyin' to help me stay. "I think we have a conclusion then.." Rick stated, earning more nods from the others, except of course Shane. Rick sauntered over to me with Daryl, Shane and the Korean behind him. "Well Rose, your welcome to stay, as long as you pitch in and earn your keep." he said, a slight smile touching Daryl's lips, but he soon covered it up with his usual scowl. "Thanks Rick, but I don't have a tent or nuthin', and it seems everyone else has somethin' to sleep in, should I go to town and get stuff?" I asked shyly, but Rick shook his head with a small frown on his face. "No, no, no Rose you don't have to. I'm sure we can find someone who'd be willin' to share a tent with you." Shane instantly piped up " She could sleep in mine, I don't mind." He said with lust filling his eyes even more than the last time. I instantly got worried, and it was noticed by Daryl and Rick. "Actually, I think I'd be alright if I just had a sleeping bag, no need for a tent, I like the stars anyways." I said, easing the tension from Daryl and Rick. "I've got an extra I brought back from the RV back on the highway you could use" the Korean added. Rick nodded, "Thanks Glenn, that would be great, but Rose stay close to the house please." With that, the group all walked back to what they were doing before. I guess this wasn't so bad after all.
