Suicide Mission ( Daryl Dixon x Reader )

Chapter 8

"So what's the plan?" You questioned, leaning forward in the backseat so you could talk to Maggie and Glenn properly as Glenn drove the SUV down the road.

"There's a few stores we can hit once we reach the place and we'll focus on ammo and baby formula, but keep an eye out for anything else that might be useful." Glenn answered and you nodded, taking a sip of water from your water bottle before handing it to Maggie.

"I'm sorry Y/N." Maggie suddenly said as she put the cap back on the water bottle causing you to frown at her in confusion. Why is she sorry? What happened?

"For what?" You questioned in complete confusion.

"For yesterday. For making you cut the baby out even though Lori asked me. I shouldn't have put that pressure and burden on you. I'm s-" Maggie began explaining, but you quickly shook your head.

"Stop." You said softly, trying to get that memory out of your head. "You don't have to apologise for that. I've watched someone do a c-section before, so I knew what to do anyway, I'm sorry there wasn't anything I could do to save Lori." You replied causing Maggie to turn around in her seat to face you with a sad smile.

"We're here guys." Glenn suddenly said not giving Maggie a chance to reply as you looked out the window before Glenn parked by the door to some sort of supermarket.

"Clear outside." Maggie called as you and Glenn grabbed your bags from the back of car before heading towards the store. "Hey." Maggie said causing you and Glenn to turn around as Maggie quickly kissed him and you rolled your eyes as you loaded your crossbow, holding it up as you walked towards the door.

"Get a room, love birds." You called over your shoulder and you smiled hearing the couple laugh before you opened the door, but you quickly ducked as birds or bats or some sort of animals with wings suddenly flew out. "Well I didn't see that coming." You mumbled, turning your torch on as you walked into the store, your bow raised.

After a few minutes the three of you managed to clear the small store of its few walkers before you began scanning the aisles for supplies. The place was a gold mine for baby formula, so much that Maggie and Glenn had to go back to the car to drop off their shopping baskets before grabbing more to fill them up.

While they went back to the car you continued to the scan the aisles, in hope to find any ammo or weapons, but so far you were having no luck. You were about to check around the back of the store when you suddenly heard voices shouting from outside and you instantly knew something was wrong, Glenn and Maggie wouldn't be yelling at each other, especially out here.

You quickly dropped the basket you were holding and raised your crossbow as you made your way towards the front door. You jumped hearing a gunshot and froze for a split second before sprinting through the front door to find Glenn holding his up gun at someone on the other side of the SUV, but you couldn't see Maggie anywhere.

"Let go of her. Let go of her!" Glenn shouted and you instantly knew whoever it was must have Maggie hostage or something. Thinking on your feet you quickly snuck around the other side of the vehicle spotting a man. His back was to you as he sat on the ground holding Maggie to his chest with a gun pointed at her, along with some sort of handmade knife bayonet thing attached to his hand. But you figured that was a question for later because right now Maggie was in trouble.

"Drop the gun and let her go. We can sort this out." You stated sternly, gripping your bow tighter as you aimed it at the back of the mans head.

"Holy shit! Is that you Y/N?" The man questioned and you froze recognizing the voice instantly. The man slowly stood up pulling Maggie with him as he turned slightly to face you and your eyes went wide. Merle. It's actually him. How was he even alive? Why was his gun aimed Maggie? He knew Glenn, what the hell is he doing?
