Suicide Mission ( Daryl Dixon x Reader )

Chapter 6

That night everyone was sitting on the ground in the cellblock eating their tea. Lori sat on the stairs whereas you, Daryl, Rick, Maggie and Glenn sat leaning against the wall while Carol, T-Dog, Beth and Carl sat a few metres in front of you so you could all talk while you ate. Usually you guys ate in the other room around the  tables and on the steps in the room, but none of you wanted to be away from Hershel, even though he had been sleeping for the past few hours anyway.

"I can't believe those prisoners had no idea what life was like outside this place." Carol suddenly said after Rick finished explaining to the others what happened with the prisoners.

"They wouldn't survive a minute outside this prison." Carl responded and you all nodded in agreement. If it wasn't for you guys, those prisoners would have no idea how to kill a walker, let alone know how to survive on the road.

You shifted slightly besides Daryl as you placed your small bowl on the floor next to you while the others began talking amongst themselves happily. The mood and spirits were quite high after everyone realised Hershel was going to be okay, he wouldn't be able to walk without crutches, but he was alive and that's all that mattered.

"I have an idea!" Beth suddenly stated, catching everyone's attention as she quickly stood up and raced to her cell. You looked up at Daryl in confusion, but he just shrugged his shoulders not knowing what the young girl was up to either. You moved closer to Daryl as he wrapped his arm around your shoulders pulling you closer.

"Y/N's been with us for a while, but we haven't had time to get to know her yet." Beth began explaining once she returned and suddenly you knew whatever she was planning wasn't going to be good.

"That's true. I have never seen Daryl this happy until you showed up. It would be good to get to know the woman behind Daryl's smile." Carol suddenly said and you heard a few of the others hum in agreement and you could already feel your cheeks blushing at the sudden unwanted attention.

"I'm a pretty boring person, you guys might be disappointed." You stated, looking around at everyone as Daryl chuckled softly besides you and you knew he was finding this whole situation amusing, knowing full well you would be hating the attention.

"This will be fun." Beth replied, smiling at you before she pulled out what looked to be a couple of dice from her pocket. "We all role the dice and whoever gets the highest number gets to ask Y/N a question."

"Wait, what if I roll the highest number?" You questioned looking over at Beth.

"Then you get to ask one of us a question. Who wants to play?" She asked looking around at the group as you shifted your body slightly to look at Daryl who was watching you with a smug expression. You rolled your eyes at him as you jabbed your elbow into his stomach softly which did nothing but make him laugh before you bought your attention back to the others.

"I'll play," Maggie said sitting up properly against the wall and everyone else agreed too, minus Daryl and Lori who said they were happy watching.

Slowly Beth handed the pair of dice around to the group as everyone took their turns rolling and it was just your luck to roll two one's, you were never going to win at this game. Glenn rolled the highest, but had to think of a question for a few seconds, not expecting to win the first round. The game went on for a while, everyone asking basic harmless questions like your favourite colour or what food you missed the most. You had only won once and asked what everyone used to do before the world went to shit.

"How'd you get that scar on the corner of your forehead?" Carl suddenly asked as he fiddled with the dice in his hands while looking at you. You should have seen that question coming, it's not like the scar was hard to spot. But still the question caught you off guard and you felt Daryl tense up slightly beside you at the mention of the scar that his father had put on you.
