My Archer

23

Rick's POV

We said goodbye to everyone for right now. I left Carl, the baby. Hershel, and Beth. I had to bring our strongest people out there because who knows what were even going to be against to. We have to do this but we do need Daryl. We went back to where we meet up with the Governor. I hope he's there. 

"You really think he's still here? I bet he went to where the camp is." Glenn said.

I shook my head no.

"No, I know Daryl. He wouldn't go by himself, he knows that would be suicide for both of them." I told them. 

They didn't say anything after that. We all just sat there and drove. Deep down, I know Daryl wouldn't go there by himself. But this is about Carson. This is different and I don't know what he could really do for her. I think it'll be okay. I hope...

Carson's POV 

I stare at him. How could he do this to me? Beat and then want to talk to me? My body hurts so bad, I feel like I can barely move. I try but it hurts so bad like someone stabbing inside me. My back is aching so bad because of the way I'm sitting. I see my dad and two other men, one kind of older like maybe in his 50's? Maybe. But his hand is cut off... Why does he look so familiar. I feel like I've seen him before but I can't put my finger on it. Then I look over at a Mexican dude who looks way younger then the other dude. He looks a little bit older than me but what got to me is that they were all staring at me but then I looked at the other guy, he hand look on his hands.. well his only hand and blood all over it. Fresh blood and not Walker blood.. 

"How do you feel?" Dad ask.

I looked over at him then looked at myself. I'm bleeding so much from and once I think about it. My face is numb. I can't feel it. He bends down so we make eye contact and smiles at me. 

"Now you listen to me. You're mine okay? Not Rick's and you'll be fighting for us." 

Rick's POV 

We got to the spot where we meet the governor. Now we got to look for Daryl. We split up and looked around, half of us went inside to look and some of us searched around. I was with Maggie, she looked really pissed off. 

"What's wrong?" 

She looks over at me and shakes her head in anger.

"You should have known that he would have took Carson. Even if he was saying horrible things about her. That's his daughter, Rick. I know you would have done it if she was you're daughter." 

That made me stop right in my tracks and she also stopped. I looked at her dead in the eyes because Carson is my daughter. Yes not by blood but by heart yes. We're all just like family in this group. Once we stick together, we're always gonna stay together. 

"Maggie, Carson is like my daughter. Don't say that again." I snarled.

She just nodded and we were about to start walking until we heard a sound from the woods, we both stopped and looked at each other then head out guns where the sound is coming from. But what came out was Daryl. We lowered our guns and signed in relief. I was right, he's not that stupid. We both nodded at each other. 

"So you ain't ditching her." Daryl snarled.

Well I guess he's still pissed. I took a deep breath and let it out. I went up to him to the point where we were 3 steps away from each other. 

"No, were not. We have to go and fight for her. That's what she would wanted if one of us were in her shoes." I said.

Daryl looked at me kind of surprised but just nodded then walked past me. I turned after and walked after him which after Maggie walked by my side. Now we have to save Carson.
