Broken Trust ( Daryl Dixon x Shane Walsh's!Sister Reader )

Chapter 6

You took a deep breath, trying to prepare yourself before walking out the tent.

Instantly, you spotted Daryl walking into camp from the woods with a rope of squirrels in his hands.

He hadn't changed in the slightest. Still wearing shirts with the sleeves cut off, same scruffy dirty blonde hair, even same crossbow slung over his shoulder.

You couldn't stop yourself from smiling as you watched him, well aware that you were staring, but you couldn't help it.

He was still the same Daryl you remembered.

As if sensing that someone was watching him, Daryl looked up. His piercing blue eyes locking with yours and he froze, dead in his tracks.

You wanted to say something, anything, but you had no idea what to say. You didn't even know how much he knew or remembered from the last time you saw him and you had a feeling that you didn't want to find out.

"Daryl, just slow up a bit. I need to talk to you." Your brothers voice called out.

Daryl stared at you for a few more seconds before he turned around in the direction of your brothers voice as Shane walked out the woods.

"About what?" Daryl questioned.

"About Merle. There was a problem in Atlanta."

You sighed, walking towards them until you were beside your brother, knowing that this was not going to end well. Daryl was going to be furious.

"He dead?" Daryl asked, staring at Shane as the rest of group all stood back and watched, not sure what to do.

"We're not sure."

"He either is or he ain't!" Daryl shouted, glaring at your brother.

"No easy way to say this, so I'll just say it." Rick suddenly said.

"Who are you?" Daryl questioned, looking over at Rick as he joined you and Shane.

"Rick Grimes."

"Rick Grimes, ya got somethin' ya wanna tell me?" Daryl asked, anger lacing his voice, but you knew that anger was just an act.

He was worried about Merle, but very soon that anger was going to turn real when he finds out what happened.

"Your brother was a danger to us all, so I handcuffed him on a roof, hooked him to a piece of metal. He's still there."

You watched as Daryl shook his head in disbelief as he began to pace forwards and back.

"Hold on. Let me process this. You're sayin' ya handcuffed my brother to a roof 'n ya left him there?!"

"Yeah." Rick answered truthfully.

Daryl took a step back and you knew exactly what was about to happen next as he threw the rope of squirrels towards Rick before he charged at him. Shane quickly pushed him out the way, sending Daryl to the ground and your eyes widened when Daryl pulled out a knife.

Well, shit, you didn't see that coming.

"Daryl!" You shouted as he stood up and took a swing at Rick.

He easily dodged the blade as you jumped in, grabbing Daryl's arm causing him to grunt. He tried to pull it free, but you had him in a straight arm lock, forcing him to drop the knife with a wince.

"Get the hell off me!" Daryl yelled, thrashing in your grip.

This was not the reunion you thought you'd get. Hell, you never thought you'd never see him again, but this was defiantly not how you thought it would go if you ever did.
