The Rednecks First Love [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 6

You were in what looked like an old nursing home. Looked like the facility and families just up and left the elderly who lived there. You were trying to help the man that was going into an asthma attack when Rick, T-Dog, and Daryl came in. "Man, we thought you were being eaten by dogs!" T-Dog said looking behind you at the tiny little dogs that were barking you turned around just lifting your eyebrows up. Next thing you knew Daryl was grabbing you asking "Did they hurt you!? Tell me and I'll kill them!" "No, I'm fine they didn't touch me." You said looking in his eyes.

  To your disappointment Daryl let you go and you all started walking out heading back to the cube van. When you got to the tracks the van was gone. "Where's the van?" You ask "we left it right there, who would take it?" Glenn asked "Merle." Rick said. "He's going to be taking some vengeance back to camp," Daryl said. So you all started running back toward the quarry.

  You were jogging up the quarry path when you heard screams and gunfire. Picking up the pace you came to a halt not believing what was happening. Amy was laying on the ground blood pouring down her neck and her arm from bites Andrea kneeling over her. Everyone was shooting around you. You didn't snap out of it until something grabbed the back of your hair and pulled. You screamed trying to get away from it but you got knocked off your feet and the walker fell on you. All you could see out its yellow blood-covered teeth snapping at your blood dripping down on your face and chest as you tried to keep it from dripping onto your face.

  All of a sudden the walker went limp with a bolt stuck through its head. You pushed it off, jumping up and hugging Daryl. He was surprised at first not believing that you were hugging him. But the anger took over and he pushed you back grabbing your arms. "The hells wrong with ya! Are ya stupid just standing there! You could have gotten killed!" He screams and regretting it the minute he sees the tears in your eyes. You just nodded, whispering sorry and walked off.

  How could she be so careless like that Daryl thought? He could have lost her. Maybe she'll learn and never do it again. Daryl was getting more and angrier the more he thought about her getting hurt or worse him losing her. He couldn't understand the feelings he was having which just added to the anger. She doesn't care about him, hell he was sure after yelling at her she hated him. He wanted to apologize but then he'd have to tell you the reason why he did it. And he couldn't do that and you turn him down and laugh in his face.

  You couldn't understand what was going on with Daryl. Just a couple hours ago he was grabbing you to make you hurt, threatening to kill who dared to hurt you. And now he's yelling at you and telling you're careless and stupid for being attacked. Okay sure you did just stand there but you were in shock for fuck sake! For your second you thought maybe Daryl felt the same for you but now you were current he just thought you were someone who needed to be looked after like a child.

  Everyone was helping clean the camp up of the dead. There was a pile for your loved ones to be buried and the rest were burned. You were near Jacqui and Jim getting ready to carry a body over when Jacqui said something "Are you bleeding?" "I just got some on me from the bodies." "That blood is fresh. Were you bit?" You asked "No. I got scratched during the attack." He said, "You got bit." Jacqui said, "I'm fine." "Then show us."Don't tell, please." "A walker got him. A walker bit Jim." Jacqui announces to the group. Jim picks up a shove trying to keep everyone away from him when T-Dog comes up behind him grabbing his arms. Daryl lifted his shirt to show a bit mark on Jim's stomach. He let go of it and came over to stand in front of you almost like he was trying to make sure you wouldn't get hurt if Jim decided to go nuts all if a sudden.

  You peaked around Daryl trying to see what was going on. Seeing Jim backing up saying "I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay." Over and over again. He goes over to sit at the back of the RV on an overturned bucket. Everyone was arguing about what to do with him.
 
  "I say we put a pickaxe in his head and the dead girl's and be done with it." Daryl said, "Is that what you would want?" Shane says to him. "Yeah, and I'd thank you while you did it." Daryl spits back. Dale cut in saying "I hate to say it... I never thought I would... but maybe Daryl's right." Rick took it as something different, responding to Dale bysaying "Jim's not a monster, Dale, or some rabid dog."  "I'm not suggesting..." Rick cut Dale off "He's sick. A sick man. We start down that road, where do we draw the line?" "The line's pretty clear. Zero tolerance for walkers, or them to be." Daryl says 

  "What if we can get him help? I heard the C.D.C. was working on a cure." Rick says "I heard that too. Heard a lot of things before the world went to hell." Shane said, "What if the C.D.C. is still up and running?" Rick asks "Man, that is a stretch right there."  "Why? If there's any government left, any structure at all, they'd protect the C.D.C. at all costs, wouldn't they? I think it's our best shot. Shelter, protection..." "Okay, Rick, you want those things, all right? I do too, okay? Now if they exist, they're at the army base. Fort Benning." Rick and Shane  go back and forth until Lori cuts in saying  "That's 100 miles in the opposite direction." "That is right. But it's away from the hot zone. Now listen to me. If that place is operational, it'll be heavily armed. We'd be safe there." Shane says  "The military were on the front lines of this thing. They got overrun. We've all seen that. The C.D.C. is our best choice and Jim's only chance." Rick continues

   "You go looking for aspirin, do what you need to do. Someone needs to have some balls to take care of this damn problem!" Daryl says picking up a pickax going after Jim. "Hey hey hey!" Shane yells. You made a rash decision and jumped in front of Daryl trusting he'd stop. He looks down at you "The hell ya doin woman?! I coulda killed ya!" He yelled "But you didn't. I trusted you wouldn't hurt me and you didn't. It's not your choice how Jim dies it's his choice how he wants to die." You said softly but forcefully. Craving Daryl's arm you started pulling his arm down looking him in the eye. Rick coming over and taking Jim into the RV. Daryl shook you off and stormed off.

  You were all sitting around waiting for Andrea to let you take care of Amy but she wouldn't let anyone near her. When you hear growls. Looking over Amy had her fingers in Andreas' hair. Everyone stood up getting ready to step in but Andrea shot her in the head and Amy fell back down. After finally wrapping Amy in a sheet. You all went up on the hill to bury your loved ones. Andrea did not want help saying she could do it. You felt bad for her. After everyone was buried you walked back to camp.
