What are we? (Daryl x reader (semi-rewrite of the original))

Chapter 8~~Fear

I apologize for the last chapter guys. I figured yall wanted to know where the scars on the body of our main character, YOU. I promise this chapter will be much more calm after the third person View. But there is still a warning for this chapter

*Third Person*

Shane took off running out of the room yelling for the group "I found her!"

Rick turned to face Shane "where is she?"

"I'll show you" then Shane lowered his voice "you probably don't want Daryl to see how she looks"

Rick looked at Shane confused then told the group to meet them in the computer area in a little bit. Rick followed Shane, and Daryl tried to follow, but Glenn and T-Dog stopped him.

When Rick saw Y/N, she was already bruised and shacking. Rick also notice how her clothes, besides her shirt, were littered around the room. Her bra was cut in the middle, but whatever was used to cut that, had also cut a medium sized gash on her chest. Rick then noticed something odd. There was a used condom by her littered clothes.

She was breathing heavily, but at least Rick knew she was alive.

"You see anyone that could be suspect?" Rick asked Shane, who just shook his head. Shane has gotten really good at lying to everyone. "go get Lori, carol, and Andrea. I don't think she'd want any man touching her. Based on the scene, it was a man who did this to her. I know it's not me, and we all know it wasn't Daryl. It would have been something Merle did, not Daryl. Plus he was in the showers"

Y/N began to open her eye, one being swollen shut. Rick rushes over to her as Shane left to get the other women. Y/N had so much fear in her eyes Rick hadn't a clue what to do for her. He was scared for her. But her have to see how she acts around others before anything could be done.

*Your POV*

The first person I saw was Rick, but he soon left. Andrea, Carol, and Lori showed up. They helped me get back into my clothes and helped me to my room. I knew I was limping, but then I saw Shane.

"You're a dick!" I screamed at him as I pulled out of the ladies' arms and limped towards him, ready to hit him. He stepped back, looking at me confused, but with a slight smile. I knew he was playing a game to make everyone believe him. I got to him and I hit him with all I had, and I ended up nearly falling. Andrea caught and helped me to my room, with Carol and Lori following suit.

"What was that about?" Lori asked

"W'o do ye t'ink done t'is?" I gave her a look. I knew before her husband came back, she had been with him.

She looked taken aback then guilty. They helped me to my bed and Carol ran to get a small bucket of water and a rag. They began cleaning me up and Carol did stitches the best she could. I heard the door open and some screaming about 'stop him' and 'he can't see her like that'

Next thing I knew Daryl was by me. I just knew it was him. He went to grab my hand but I flinched. I know he wouldn't do this but I was scared. Shane has just done so much to me.

I couldn't see what was happening because my eye was swollen shut on my left side. But I then heard from Andrea, "Daryl, you need to go back outside. You shouldn't see her like this"

I then struggled out as I slightly squeezed his hand laying by mine. "No. I want 'im 'ere"

"You sure?"

I did my best to nod. Then I decided to try and joke about the pain "that dick ruined my only good bra"

The ladies looked at me with disgust before Lori said "you shouldn't joke like that"

"My pain. My c'oice 'ow to cope. It's 'ow I got throug' the ot'er scars" even though it was extremely painful, I turned my head to Daryl "I mus' look like s'it"

He smiled a little. Before shaking his head "ye look like a strong woman"

"Ye ain't gonna kill no one cause of t'is, rig't?"

It took him a minute but then he shook his head.

Carol then said "so are you two gonna quit sneaking around, and trying to hide what's clearly been going on between you for months?"

He looked up at her and said "I don' see a reason te sneak 'round no more"

I nodded "'ow long y'all known?"

Andrea laughed slightly "awhile. You two ain't good at hiding it. Always sneaking around, going everywhere together, even sleeping in the others tent"

Lori smiled "it was nice seeing you two happy. You both had such rough shells in the beginning"

Daryl stood up and kissed my forehead "I'm gonna go talk to the ot'ters."

The ladies nodded before Daryl left. I looked at then after he left "'Elp me up?"

"You really shouldn't" carol said

"It look like I give a damn?"

They shook their heads and helped me up, then helped me into different undergarments and clothes. I then limped our of the room towards everyone.

"Well look who's up" Glenn said cheering.

I heard clapping from all.

"Y'all won't gotta clap" I insisted

"You just can't catch a break, can you" Jenner said

"Not tell yer gone" I smiled "my face look infected at all or just bruised an' swollen?"

"Should heal nicely"

I nodded before turning to Daryl. I grabbed his hand then we turned to everyone. "Ye know, today 'as been eventful. An' in all t'e fear today, why don' we just add to it. We were gonna wai', but we want to tell y'all we're toget'er. We 'ave been fer aw'ile, but now y'all know." I turned to Shane "An' t'e person W'o did t'is to me. I may be 'fraid rig't now, but ye bet yer ass I'm gonna make yer life miserable"

I think some caught on, but others were oblivious. That's when I looked at the timer.

"We need to get out!" I yelled "I ain't gonna die 'ere!"

Everyone looked at Jenner before all hell broke loose.
