Revelations

His booming voice caused Carol to shake manically as she silently sobbed covering her mouth with her right hand, trembling she slowly crawled from behind the door to underneath the bed. She heard his heavy stomping from his boots as he made his way up the creaky stairs "I know you're up here" he shouted. Reaching the top step he pounded into the bathroom door storming into the room tearing down shelves. Carol took this chance to secure her hiding place behind the bedroom door, her sobs became incoherent as she quietened herself. 

Banging on the door Daryl waited impatiently for the door to open, beginning to pace he grew more impatient by the second. One he heard the door open he stormed past of the person who had opened it .  "Daryl......?" her small voice questioned confused as she felt the anger radiate off of him, She heard the rambling from him slowly turn louder and more aggressive as he grew more passionate on the subject. "You had no right, What the fuck were you thinking talking to her? no who the fuck do you think you are?" He shouted at the cowering woman "Brooke what were you thinking? you need to stay away from me and my family" he spoke in a slightly calmer tone. "I'm sorry okay i just wanted my phone, look Daryl i'm sorry okay?" The short brunette murmured as tears rushed down her face causing her makeup to smear over her face. Staring at the sobbing girl Daryl raised his right arm as he rubbed the back of his neck as an awkward gesture not sure on what to do. His posture soon became sagged and submissive causing Brooke to take this as a good sign as she ran up to him and clung tightly in a hug.

"Well this is new" A grumbled voice spoke with a smug smirk as he stared at the duo in a tight embrace, Daryl quickly pushed the young girl away. "Shane" Daryl mumbled with confusion weaved in his voice, "my sister" Shane clarified still smirking "seems i was wrong i thought you and Carol would be on but apparently your redneck has been hitting above your belt with dear old Brooke" the words were slurred as they came out of the officers mouth. Upon closure inspection Daryl could see the slight sway in Shane's stance and he could smell the alcohol on his breath. "Go home Shane, you're not welcome 'ere" Brooke drawled out using her left hand to twirl a random strad of her brown hair. "Make me, actually no i might go check on Carol now that i know she is single" Shane taunted seeing the anger grow within Daryl.

Ed stormed into the bedroom as he began to knock down random things creating as much noise as possible, Carol snuck out as his back was to the door and made a run for it down the stairs and through the broken door. Fear kept her running as she heard his heavy stomps chasing her, he was closing the distance quickly so Carol ran to the only place she would feel safe, Ricks.

Daryl began to feel the anger take control within him which was a normal occurrence for him as he grew up with anger issues, but this time it was directed against Shane Walsh. "What's wrong Lori choose Rick? she outta town? aww poor little Shane always the bridesmaid never the bride" Daryl taunted as his hands turned to fists as he clenched tightly, he smiled in victory at Shane angry and confused face. "You really thought i wouldn't be able to see that you are sleeping with your best friends wife, i'm a good detective" Daryl gloated with a beaming smile only letting it falter when he saw Shane beam back at him. " If you are so good then how come you haven't saw that good ol' Rick is in love with little old Carol and he is probably making a move on her now as you are moving in on Brooke here". Hearing those words caused Daryls heart race to increase along with worry and anger he will not loose Carol not again, pushing the drunk man out of the way he race to his car and drove straight to his apartment, fearing that Rick had beat him there he ignored all the traffic light and speed limits.

Banging on the door, she fell through the household as the front door was opened standing quickly she locked and bolted the door unsure on Ed's whereabouts. Looking up at Rick she saw his worried questioning facial expression and breathed out "Ed" before she lost consciousness, concerned Rick carried her body to the living room where he settled her on the fabric couch placing a throw pillow behind her head. Moving quickly he closed the curtains and locked the back door not wanting to endanger Carol and knowing when she woke up she would feel safe knowing he did those things. Checking her temperature he frowned and retrieved a damp washcloth placing it on her forward he crouched next to her with worry controlling his face and waited for her to wake up.

Arriving at his apartment panic took over him as he raced through all the rooms screaming for Carol, the whole place was a mess and he knew who the cause of it was. Typing in the code on the safe he grabbed the object and sped to Ed's house with fury and anger, logic told him that he should call the police but everything else within him was telling him to handle this himself. Arriving at the house he banged the door for what seemed like ages to him but it was only thirty seconds, getting no reply he jumped the fence and broke in through the back door. After thoroughly searching the entire house he returned to his car and tried to think where Ed would have gone, without realising Daryl had pulled up ouside a bar. Hiding his belonging he stormed into the bulding and grabbed Ed by his shirt collar as soon as he saw him by the bar nursing a bourbon, "Take it outside, Dixon!" the bartender demanded as he was use to seeing the older Dixon fight in his property many times before. Dragging Ed outside and round the corner to the side alley "where is she?" Daryl spoke trying to keep his voice calm "i don't know what you are on about redneck" Ed replied stubbornly. "one why is everyone calling me redneck today? and two you are going to tell me where she is now" he demaned drawing his weapon from behind his back, seeing this Ed panicked too absorbed in not getting injured he told Daryl the events of today including the part where he had lost her when she rounded a corner not realising that the Dixon was going to hurt him for what he had done whether he had Carol or not.

Waking up Carol blinked repeatedly trying to remember what happened, she shot up scared when she recalled the events of the day up until she started running. Soothing her with calming words and telling her she was safe Rick told Carol to lie back down he then explained where she was."i got you some soup, don't worry we will arrest him tomorrow i just want to stay with you right now" the officer spoke softly helping Carol sit up to eat he brushed his hand over her hair closing his eyes as he did so.

Raising the gun, he shot and killed the man in front of him. Daryl Dixon had just killed Ed Peletier.
