Angel (Daryl Dixion x Reader)

~26~

(A/n ~ Hey y'all, I know it's been well a while and I hope to be able to continue updating my stories. I had some insane shit happen in the last year alone and I lost two people whom I would of walked through hell for. They were incredibly close to me, the kind of people who literally never hurt me my whole entire life. They were my saviors on multiple occasions and without them I'am completely lost.. I thought I'd never write again, but I know that they would want me to continue writing because it makes me happy, allowing me to escape this thing we call reality. After, all I began writing this story in their house. Anyway, I know I've taken forever, but please be patient with me and on a serious note. Fuck cancer and fuck spontaneous accidents. And to the people I've lost, until I see you again. I love you, and I'm sorry I couldn't give you some of my years... God knows I'd of given you the rest of them if I could. I miss you, and I always will..)

You sit up off your cot to see it was about to be sunset soon. Shit- Did you fall asleep? You couldn't remember the last nap you'd taken. Slowly, you start to get up. Stretching before walking out of your tent you look out over the camp. "Hey. Carol and I are cooking dinner for everyone tonight." Lori says over to you as she spots you walking out of your tent. "In the house?" You wonder aloud, curious if Hershel actually approved of this idea or not. She smiles a little at your question as she comes up closer to you. "Yeah. You can help or you stay out here and help keep watch. Andrea is on the RV right now." She tells you, already knowing you would probably stay outside. You could cook, very well actually, but you'd rather not. It wasn't exactly where you were needed. "I think I'll let you guys handle the cookin'. I'll hang out here, make sure everythin' stays safe." You tell her which she just nods agreeing, before swiftly looking down at her feet, obviously nervous. "Alright. If ya change your mind, we'll be inside." She says, glancing back up at you briefly, then starting over to the house again.

You thought she was acting super weird, and you were starting to suspect that she could be pregnant, but you didn't wanna assume. Especially since she was actually being half way decent towards you. You rolled your eyes and decided to make yourself busy. Even though you were supposed to still be taking it easy still. So you spent the next thirty minutes gathering sticks and dry leaves for the small fire pit the group had going. You stand up after being satisfied that the wood would catch fire and stay lit when the time came. Your mind was starting to wander Asian. Only feeding your anxiety because Daryl had been gone for a while now. Everyone else had came back hours ago, but you hadn't seen your boyfriend since earlier that morning. He should have been back by now. You sigh as you start to walk towards the RV where Glenn had just came out of. He looked upset, but then again he was having trouble figuring out Maggie. You'd have to ask him about it later, because Andrea shoots up from her chair while staring off in the distance. "Walker! A Walker!" She yells, making your heart drop. A walker? Here? This close to the farm!? You jog quickly up to the side of the RV. Eyes squint at the tree line to see a single walker stumbling in the distance. It was headed right for the house, slowly but surly. Shit-

"Just the one?" Rick asks, running up beside you while trying to get a good look at it as well. "Yeah, just the one." You answer for her as she looks through the binoculars at it. "I'll bet, I can nail it from here!" Andrea states as she scrambles to get the deer rifle she had up there with her. "No! No, Andrea. Put the gun down." Rick says up at her making you glance over at him with immediate bewilderment. Everyone scrambles to grab something to kill it with since Rick had all the guns put up. "You'd best let us handle this." Shane says as he starts walking past you with a pick axe in his hands. "Shane, hold up. Hershel wants to deal with walkers." Rick states seriously trying to calm everyone down. This was the first walker you'd seen on the farm, and honestly it shouldn't have been able to even get this far. The fact that it had, made you all the more glad you'd taken your small hand gun and still had it concealed. Something like this was bound to happen eventually, but you didn't understand why Rick wouldn't just let him deal with it. "What for, man? We got it covered." Shane says back while looking from you to Rick, obviously thinking the same thing you were. "Yeah- It's not like Hershel will be out here in time anyway." You add seriously. Firmly agreeing with Shane and starting to follow him out into the field despite Ricks expression telling you both no. "Dammit!" Rick growls under his breath before racing to grab his colt out of the RV and sprinting after you two.
