Walking The Dead Path! (A Daryl and Merle Dixon Fanfiction)

Chapter 40

~Sky POV~

I woke up, I smell food. I look to my side and eat it. I got energy and got out of bed. I seen Becca and some strangers on the other side of the cell block. "Becca?"

She turn and look at me, and walk up the steps. I look at the wall where Daryl had the picture. It was gone, Becca was next to me. "Who are they?"

"People who found away in the prison" I just nod, I watch them drag a body out. I look at Becca. "How little ass kicker?" I asked, she look at me "I thought you wanted to call it Walker Killer?" She smile, I seen Beth holding the baby. "Little ass kicker grow on me" I chuckle, I walk down the steps. "May I? Watch her for a while?" Beth smile, "yeah, it give me a small break" she hand me the baby, I smiled. I turn to Becca, "you think, if my baby lived. You think it will be a boy?"

"I don't know" she said, I went to my cell, "if you want to stay in the same cell with me, you have to find a sheet....Daryl took the top bed one" she nod, "but he didn't sleep in here"

"Hell no, he don't want to sleep in a cage, I think a cage is better the out in the open"

We sit in there talking to little ass kicker until Beth came in yelling they are back.

We walk outside, I didn't see Daryl. "Where Daryl?" I asked Glenn but he gave me a look, "he went with Merle" Maggie said, "Merle alive!" I said, I was happy cause last time I seen him was when he got kidnapped and I was left to dead. "That great! But why they didn't come back?"

Glenn look at me, "Merle did this to me!" Glenn yelled, I didn't want to believe it. "Glenn calm down, we could of lock him up" I said, "sky don't say anymore" Maggie said as they walk in, I look at Becca and hand her the baby. I ran to Carol, Carl and Rick. I was mad, "What the hell!" I said as I push Rick, "Sky!" Carol hold me back, "you could of bring Merle back! Lock him up or something! We need Daryl and Daryl need us!" I said first time in a long time I was crying. "It was his choose" Rick said,

"Or was it yours....every since I been in this group, I notice it have to go your way or the fucking highway! Hell I bet Lori give Merle a second chance!" Rick got close to my face, "we don't know that"

"We see, if I seen her I ask her myself!"

"What happen she agree on what I did?"

"Then..." I said couldn't think of nothing, "then I won't talk ever again, I just act like everyone else" I look at him dead in the eyes, "listen, it was his choose, I did ask him to come back but you don't know Merle" Rick said, "I do, remember the day I was found on the highway, remember I was with him. We talk and the only he wanted was his baby brother, I agree with him but shit happen. We could of need Merle also"

"He try to kill Becca, he beat up Glenn and we don't know what happen to Maggie" Rick said, I roll my eyes. I pull away from Carol, "but you still didn't think of locking him up?" I walk away, I felt a hand on my arm as I was half way up to the prison. I look it was Carol, I seen tears on her eyes. I hugged her tight then walk up together. We walk inside Becca was still holding the baby. She look at me, I walk over to the baby. Then Rick came in, Becca hand him the baby. She started to cry, guess she don't like her daddy either. Rick hand Beth the baby, I walk up to my cell and lay down. I wasn't in the mood for anything, but it wasn't long I heard Beth and Carol talking about Daryl.

"Baby?" I heard, I look to my side. David started to talk to me again, "about time" I said,

"I thought you was going to die, so I was waiting at the light but I seen that Daryl saved you, I got pissed. I want to hold you again, but I guess I have to wait" he said, "am I ever going to be normal again?" I ask him, "you are normal, in your own way"

"For months I didn't cry, but I cry when I learn Daryl left us, why?"

"Because Becca is back, and you Daryl protect her since you can't protect anyone right now, not even yourself. Your mind finally got to the point that Daryl will always be there, but now you see" I got up and hook his head to my belt loop. I look and seen everyone was at the other people, I walk up t the door. I heard humming, I look to see but no one was humming but then I look up and seen Lori but she was in a white dress and that was new for me. I look at Rick, he look up an started to freak out. "He seen her" I heard David, "what?" I look at David, I seen he was going crazy. "Did I went that crazy on you?"

"Kind of, you was going to let Beth die"

I walk away, "we must help him" David said, "no, he drove Daryl away and Merle. I could care less about what happens to him"

-couple days later-

I seen Rick putting up stuff and looking out. He stop, "go to him" David said "fine, just up about it"

I walk up to Rick, I seen Lori at the graves. "She the first I seen with a white dress"

He look at me, "you see her too?"

"Yes, but I think her soul is not trap here but she trying to tell you something. David told me only Angels wear white dresses, well the female but it hard for us to understand what they want to tell us. The unrested souls like David here, he can talk plain as day but I think why you only see Lori and not the dead like me is because she was sent here just for you" I look at him, "I'm sorry about couple of days ago, but right now all you need to do is go after her, if she have a message for you. You got to learn what it is" I said to him, he look down, "you are right" he started to walk off. "I'm proud of you baby" I look down at him, "yeah? Then why I have the feeling, I don't want him to know the message?"

"Because, you are still mad about Daryl" I shook my head, "guess I have to get over it" I chuckle at myself, "hey if he become a walker, I can cut off his head and wear it on my belt loop next to you!"

"Then you need something hold up your pants, because two lead heads on your belt loop, make you look like you trying to sag" we laugh, I look up. Lori was gone and Rick just stood there. I turn around, "come on, let go check on Lil Ass Kicker and Becca!" I said heading back in.
