Daryl's POV
I went to the tent where everyone else was sitting and sat next to Rick. "Hey you know she'd want this." He says placing his hand on my shoulder. I nod and try to focus on something else. "Burying her ain't feel right. This wasn't supposed to happen to her." I say choking back tears getting irritated. "I know man. I do. We will live on for her. She'll live through us." He says sadly as Negan walks in. "You were the last one with her...What...What happened? How'd she die?" Negan mumbled while leaning against the pole of the tent. I look to him and explain.

Flashback still Daryl's POV
"Where we headed?" I ask while I look to see her using a huge branch to support herself as she walked. "There was a field not to far from here. A few tents. Can set up camp there after we make sure it's safe." Y/N said while wincing in pain every now and then. Her skin was starting to turn but she still seemed to be in her right mind. Maybe we can cure it or something.

We reach the field and she collapses onto the grass. Weakly she pushes her back against an old stack of tires. She looks pale and her eyes a very faint yellow as she looks up at me with puppy dog eyes. "Daryl I can't.. You gotta clear it.. I'm sorry.." She says lowly. "Don't be. Just rest I'll clear it it's only a few. Cover me from here." I say handing her my crossbow.

She nods slightly and loads it with an arrow as I walk forward to take out the walkers. I take out about 4 and she shoots one that I missed. "Hey..You alright? We can go and get the others and make camp here" I say while taking my bow back. "No..This is it for me. You gotta—" "No way. I ain't doing that. Get up. You can't get up? Then I'll carry ya." I yell cutting her off.

I feel tears start to form and push them back. One manages to fall down my cheek anyway. "It's okay Daryl..To be upset. This just happens sometimes.." Y/N looks at me with pleading eyes. "You've been through worse. You tellin me after all this a damn walker bite is what gets ya? Nah I won't accept it." I say wiping the tears away.

"It's alright. This is a reminder...Even though people are very dangerous...Walkers are still the most dangerous thing...Don't forget that.." She holds out her hand and a tear rolls down her face. "You guys need to forgive Negan. All three of you guys will need eachother until you build a new community...Make it better than Alexandria and Sanctuary combined." She giggled a little and started to slowly let go of my hand.

"Y/N? Stay with me!" I yell as she slowly opens her eyes again. "You can't let me be one of those things..You know that. Bury me over there under the stars..You guys better Remember me.." She took one last breath before drifting off. I grabbed my gun putting the barrel to the side if her head before closing my eyes and pulling the trigger.

Present Day Negan's POV
I listen to Daryl explain what happened and I feel my heartbreaking all over again. "We gotta take Lj to see her grave..He's been asking but I couldn't bring myself to go back yet." I say gaining nods from Rick and Daryl. We head out of the tent and get greeted by a few other people in our new community before spotting Lj.

"Hey kid! We're gunna go visit Y/N's grave. Still wanna go?" I ask kneeling to his height. He nods and grabs my hand as we walk over to the grave out near the center of the field directly under the moon and stars. "She had a thing for stars. Always seemed to be happy when she was under them." I say while we place flowers on her grave.

Daryl's POV
I walk up to her grave and clutch onto the flowers while thinking of what to say. "You always understood me. You accepted me for who I was and accepted everyone. When we first met I was a dick....I'm sorry. Rest easy Y/N." I say while placing my flowers down.

Rick's POV
Lastly I step up and hold my flowers. "Y/N when we first I knew you were different. Strong, Capable, and smart. You had a good head on your shoulders. You protected us and always tried to help people as best you could. Because of you we are here. You're one of us..You're family." I say placing the flowers down gently.

We all turn to look at the new community. "We gotta do this for her. Start a new beginning like she wanted. Let's call this place New Hope."
