The Light in my Storm

Terrorist(30)

Daryl's P.O.V

I got caught, I got fucking caught.... A bag was over my head as I walked. Being pushed, blindly taking steps. Finally I was jerked to a stop and the bag was yanked from my head. I was in a ring of people, Merle was in front of me. His stub of a hand had a metal thing over it. The ties from my hands were cut. I wasn't going to lie to myself, I was terrified. Did Bella make it out? Is she alive? Did the rest of the group make it?

"This is one of the terrorists!" Some dude who I'm guessing was the Governor called out.

Everyone was cheering for Merle. This was going to be a fight to the death. Merle would never hurt me, we were gonna get out of here. I was going to get back to Katie and Bella, and everything was going to be okay.

"Ya'll know me!" Merle yelled over the cheering, he raised his arms up, "I'm gonna do, whatever I gotta do, to prove-"

He punched me in the gut catching me off guard. I fell onto the ground.

"My loyalties-" He yelled sending a kick into my stomach, "To this town!" Another kick.

Blow after blow after blow. The cheers got louder. Merle, my own brother, my flesh and blood was fighting me.

He reached for my throat, I swung hard and hit him in the nose causing my knuckle to throb slightly. I stood up, lunging at him, he grabbed me and threw me to the ground hard. A walker was on a catchpole snarling at me. A lot of them were actually, people were bringing the walkers closer. I held onto Merle's throat tightly. He had a hold of my jacket. His face turning dark red.

"You really think this asshole is gonna let you go?" I snarled with effort.

"Just follow my lead, little brother," He said quietly, I loosened my grip and we both stood. Back to back. I held my fists up.

A guy brought a walker closer, I shoved it back. The walker was shoved closer again, I punched it in the jaw and pushed it towards the crowd causing a few people to panic. The man holding it trying to pull it back. I had noticed Andrea in the crowd, fighting a guy holding her. She had survived. Suddenly gunshots rang out, a walker fell. The one I was near, then some random woman. Lights were shot out, then teargas was thrown.

The others came back. Screams erupted, Merle and I couldn't see, but we stayed close. Randomly reaching out to make sure the other was still there. We found our way out and I found the guy who had my crossbow. I snatched that shit back real quick.

"Let's go," Rick commanded and we all ran.

When we made it outside the wall. Merle had spoken.

"They're all at the arena, let's go this way!" Merle called.

"You really think you're goin anywhere with us?" Rick snarled

"You really wanna do this now?" Merle snarled back.

Tons of walkers were coming from everywhere.

"We gotta go," I stated, shooting a walker down. We had broken a panel in the wall to get out. Hopefully the fuckers got overrun by walkers.

It was morning when we made it to the car. The mystery lady was leaning on the car. Glenn and Bella were sitting beside eachother on the ground. Glenn was shirtless again. His sweatshirt was tied tightly around her hip.

"You guys made it!" Bella sighed happily, then grimaced, her hand shooting to her hip when she tried to stand. She fell back down. Glenn and the mystery lady pulled out their weapons and yelling erupted. Merle had tried to kill them both. Bella slowly got up, using the car as support without putting much weight on her hurt leg. Then she limped heavily over to us.
