Father, Where did we go wrong? Daryl Dixon Fanfic

16: Protect You

As the car rolled into the Sanctuary you were let out of the back, you didn't see another car or truck anywhere near. You let out a sigh, you didn't know if you wanted Daryl, you didn't know how you felt, all you knew was you were back to the place you called home for so long. You ran by the men who had 'saved' you and up towards the room Negan spent most of his time in.

You knocked on the door, knowing that anyone who just entered tended to get a bat to their face. You never had, but you hadn't been home in a while. The door opened, you saw one of your mothers there. Her eyes lit up as she saw you. She dropped to her knees and hugged you tightly. "Negan will be so happy, so so happy." She cupped your cheek, she looked you over with love.

It was always weird, the feeling you got when they took care of you was something you hadn't expected. The fact they showed you love was so, odd, but you were so happy every time they smiled at you. You hugged her tightly, "Where is he?"

"Sulking, but I know you can make him smile again. Come on, lets go see him."

You smiled, you were still conflicted. Daryl had come back for you, he had tried to make things better, even after all that time apart he was your father. As you were maneuvered through Negan's large room you let that go to the back of your mind. You saw him, he was looking out the window holding Lucile tightly in his hand. He was talking to himself, about you.

You smiled and ran towards him, he turned in surprise as he saw you. He dropped Lucille and held his arms out for you. He wrapped you in his arms tightly as you fell into his chest, he couldn't help but let out a few tears. "Where were you?"

"Got taken...My..Daryl took me.. he decided he wanted to be a dad...for once."

"That bastard." He growled holding you closer to him. "Who brought you back?"

"I..I dont know who they were... but they were horrible to me... they through me to the ground and I know..I know that Daryl took me from you but they tied him up and I dont know if hes dead.. but... and they.. they told me they would hurt me if I told you what they did."

His head popped up and his eyes grew wide as you spoke. "They did what?"

"They told me if I told you I would be dead, they had also said they would ring my neck." He growled and held you closer to him as he grabbed Lucile off the floor. "Take me down lets see if we can find these fucking idiots that just threatened you."

You couldn't help but smile, this was the Negan that had saved you.

This was your father.
