Daryl X Liz "Little Sister"

Setting: Woods, Atlanta camp, and Atlanta

Plot: Liz is Daryl's little sister and in this part, past subjects come up and causes some wholesome comforting from Daryl. The seemingly tough Daryl shows the biggest soft spot for his little sister. When they return to camp they aren't completely happy about the news they get about Merle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liz lies into the hardwood floor of the cabin they had found in the woods, "well this is going to be the last night of our hunting trip. I can keep watch." Daryl sets his crossbow and squirrels down, "I'll keep watch. You get some sleep. We're tracking that deer again in the morning." Liz lays back, "okay. Well do you think maybe dad would've been proud of us if he wasn't the way he was?" Daryl scoffs and sits, cleaning his arrows and keeping look out the window, "shit. He didn't give a damn about us. Merle left us and then the world went to shit before it was my turn." Liz sighs, "would you have taken me with you?" Daryl huffs a laugh, "of coarse. I don't want you around that son of a bitch. I got enough bruises and scars. I don't want you going through that." Liz closes her eyes, "I kind of hope that he had the slow and painful death. Anyways I'm going to get some rest and if you need me to take over later just wake me." Daryl continues cleaning his arrows, "good night."
Flash back dream
Liz heard the loud crash of the beer bottle hitting the wall behind her and her dads yelling. She sees Daryl rush in and get in between them. Their dad throws Daryl to the floor and heads for her she tries to block, but ends up grabbing her arms and throwing her back into the wall. She falls to the floor and with the force she sort of blacked out a bit. She saw Daryl get up as their dad was walking back over to her again for hits and possibly more than hitting. Daryl jumps on his back and pulls him backwards. He spins Daryl around onto the floor and stars punching him. Liz gets up and starts screaming at their dad to stop and tries to pull him off. He knocks her onto the floor and through the tears she sees him finally stop and get off. She waits until he leaves and quickly crawls over to Daryl. She lays his head on her lap and through the tears, she begs for him to wake up. There's blood on his face and lips. He had a bruised eye and his nose had some blood. Liz shakes him a bit, "get up bro. Come on Daryl. Get up." She goes to get some medicine and rags from the bathroom, along with some ice. He wakes up and slowly tries to stand, but fails. She runs over and sets the stuff down and sits him down, "woah. No standing." He spits out some blood, "ar-are you okay?" She smiles and gets the stuff out of the bag, "yeah I'm fine. Thanks for taking the hits. You did-..." He stops her hand, "I did. I don't want anything to happen to you. Merle left and we're the only targets for him." She proceeds to grab the ice and hands the zip lock bag full of ice to him, "I know, but I can't let you keep getting hurt we'll make it out of here one day. For now put this on your eye and keep it there." He takes it, "I hope that's soon." She smiles with hope in her eyes and grabs the peroxide and the wash cloth, "we will. Now this is going to hurt, but it works." She dabs some peroxide on the bloody spots and he tensed up. Liz slowly rubs it on, "don't worry it'll help you feel better. I wouldn't hurt you." She finishes up and commands him to keep the ice on his eye for another ten minutes. She turns back around and smiles, "better?" He gives a slight chuckle, "getting there." In an instant in her dream, more like nightmare, flashes and he turns up dead and the house is burnt down like the first one that killed their mother.
Nightmare/ flashback dream end
She wakes up to Daryl looking at her confused and concerned, "what's wrong?" She sighs with relief, "had a bad dream." He raises an eyebrow, "about?" She lays back down, "doesn't matter because thankfully it's not real. It was, but the end wasn't and I don't want it to ever be." He shakes his head, "are you gonna go back to sleep then?" She stands up and sits beside him, "after that. I'm good." He takes some scavenged food from Liz's bag, "you gonna tell me what it's about?" She lays her head against the window, "at the end you were dead. You were alive then when I looked again you were one of them. The zombies, or whatever, but not the "living" ones, but like I had just killed you." His eyes go wide, "umm okay. Well... I hope that doesn't become a reality either. What happened before that?" She saddens, "dad was trying to fight me, but you jumped in and instead he beat you up pretty bad. I patched you up and in a flash the house was burnt down like the one that killed mom and you were dead." Her voice cracks up at the end and a tear rolls down her cheek. He pulls her into a hug, "look. What happened to mom we couldn't fix, but dad was an asshole. I took those hits for you. I never want you hurt. I can never promise my life will out live yours, but I can promise you that until I die you'll be my first priority. You're my baby sister and until I die I'll protect you." She hugs him back, "I love you bro." He smiles into her neck, "I love you too little sis."
Back at the camp
Daryl walks up by the fire, "Merle get your ugly ass out here." Liz sits down beside Lori and watches. Rick walks up to Daryl and Daryl turns around, "who the hell are you?" The guy stops a few feet in front of him, "Rick Grimes." Daryl gets defensive, "Rick Grimes. You got something you want to tell me?" Rick continues, "your's and Liz's brother was a danger to us all. So I handcuffed him to a roof, hooked him to a piece of metal. He's still there." Daryl steps away and wipes his face, "hold on. Let me process this. You're saying you handcuffed my brother to a roof. And you left him there!" Rick looks down at the ground them back up, "yeah." Daryl throws the rope of squirrels and goes for Rick. Liz thinks about it and steps away from the action. Rick pushes Daryl to the ground and he pulls out a knife. T dog drops the wood to come help and Shane holds him in a choke hold. Rick kneels to him, "I'd like to have a calm discussion on this topic. You think we can manage that?" Shane let's him go and Daryl falls to the ground. Rick continues, "what I did is on a him. Y'all's brother does not work and play well with others." T dog speaks up, "it's not Rick's fault. I had the key. I dropped it." Daryl slightly shakes his head in disbelief and anger, "you couldn't pick it up." He continues his sentence, "I dropped it in a drain." Daryl gets up and throws a rock, "if it's supposed to make me feel better, it don't." He sits on a chair and cleans his arrows and looks at Liz, "you can't possibly be okay with this." Liz sits beside him, "I'm not, but it's just I'd have a talk with him, or work on getting him back. If not I'll go to Atlanta myself." Daryl scoffs, "it's geek central. You won't ever be able to get in." Liz smirks, "I have my ways. In and out. Also it's for Merle. He may have left us, but I'm going to go get him." Shane and Rick start arguing and Shane calls Merle a douche bag. Daryl scolds him, "hey. You better choose your words more carefully next time." Shane gives a serious look, "I did. Douche bag is what I meant." Liz gives a tiny laugh which makes Daryl give her an annoyed look.
~~~The rooftop~~~
They get to the rooftop, but the only thing there is a amputated hand and bloody cuffs. Liz almost throws up and feels the burning in her eyes. Daryl paces and repeatedly screams 'no' and holds onto Liz.
