The Third Dixon [The walking dead]

Chapter twelve

While Rick, Carl and Michonne had gone out to find more guns and hopefully ammo, Measi and Nathan had decided to secure the prison bit by bit. They had already gotten themselves to the boiler room and the emergency generators. While Nathan was scouting around around the places, Measi got herself to work on the generators,  if it all went south, she could blast out the alarm and lure all the walkers towards them, making the prison barely accessible. 

Measi held a flashlight in her mouth as she pointed it into the small box with the different wires she connected. Sometimes she had to pull her hand away to prevent herself from getting shocked, once knocking it hard on the table next to her, startling Nathan to rush in, laughing when he realized what had happened. 

''Oh shut up.'' She shook her hand as he chuckled. ''What, that hurts okay?'' He chuckled as he shook his head at her before taking off again. As Measi let her brain raddle around the different wires, she couldn't help but let her mind drift of to her brothers. 

She sighed as she shook her head, putting two different wires together, creating a loud earie noise to fill the room, resulting into Measi covering her right ear and pulling the wires from each other again. She groaned in frustration as she spit out the flashlight and leaned her back onto the floor. When she heard footsteps, she shot up, her knife in her hand as she got ready to take out a walker. 

She sighed in relief when she faced Daryl instead of a walker, letting the knife slip back into her belt and grabbing the flashlight from the floor, trying to get the wires to work. Daryl stayed where he was for a moment before she threw the flashlight across the room, Daryl following the light and grabbing it from the floor, walking back to his sister and shining the light into the box. He grabbed a screwdriver from besides her and held it in front of her. She snatched it from him as she grabbed a few other wires, trying to get it to work again. When there was no earie noise and no shock coming onto her hands, she softly removed her hands from the box, closing the door before pushing a button, resulting into the lights coming on. 

Daryl smiled at her as he passed her the flashlight, bumping her shoulder softly. ''Thanks for the help.'' She got up again, walking to where Nathan waited for her, walking next to her. Leaving a sighing Daryl as he looked at the ceiling, wondering how to make it right with his sister again. 

After getting the generators to work again, Measi and Nathan were up in the guard tower, even with no bullets, Measi wanted him to keep practicing with the sniper. If they had two snipers up in different guard towers, they may stand a chance against the governor.  

''A little more to the left.'' He did as he was told and pulled the trigger, pretending as if he was actually shooting it. She smiled at him as she chuckled. ''If it had bullets, it would have been the perfect head shot.'' He smiled back at her as he pecked her lips softly, resulting into her pulling him back into a more passionate and longer kiss. When they had pulled back, Measi looked back onto the field. ''Come on, you still have a long way to go.'' 

Not long after, the door opened, resulting in the two teenagers to turn around, facing Daryl once more. ''I need to talk to you.'' Measi glanced at Nathan as if questioning who Daryl meant. 

''I assume you mean her.'' Nathan jammed his thumb towards Measi, earning a nod from Daryl as Nathan got onto his feet, pecking Measi's lips and whispering a ''Good luck'' before going downstairs again, leaving the siblings to talk. 

Daryl took a seat next to his sister, leaving his legs dangling down in the air next to hers, leaning his arms on the lowest railing. Measi didn't even look at him as he sat down, until he spoke up. ''Meas ... we need to talk about this.'' 

''You want to talk? Than talk.'' She turned her head back again, leaning her head onto her arms as she relaxed slightly, allowing him to do his story. 

''I know you're mad and ... ''

''That isn't what I want to hear from you Daryl.'' 

''Than what do you want to hear?''

''An explanation.'' She sighed softly as she turned to him. ''An explanation as why you left, an explanation to why you decided that Merle was worth more than I was, an explanation to why you think it's okay to just leave and show up and think it's all okay again.'' She could see him pursing his lips together, a habit they shared when they were nervous to talk.

''I don't have an explanation to that it's just ... '' He sighed heavily as he looked into her eyes. ''It's always been me and Merle. -- You got into the family so late and we were never close before the world went to shit. Hell, we still aren't close.'' When he saw that it seemed to dawn on her, he continued. ''Merle and I have a long history and it's not like he's worth more than you are it's that -- it's that I know him, really know him. You have multiple walls in front of you that you don't let down.'' He softly raised his shoulders at her. ''I just don't know you Measi. -- I mean, obviously I love you and all that but ... Merle and I know each other.'' He looked at her, trying to read her expression, anything to get a response. 

''I guess that does explain it a bit ... '' She pursed her lips together as she nodded softly. ''I just kinda wish it wasn't like that.'' She held her hand up for him to shake, giving a shaky smile. ''But I'm willing to make this work.'' He smiled back as he clapped their hands together, earning a soft smile from her as he got up from his seat and kissed the top of her head and leaving again.   

Rick, Michonne and Carl had returned with a huge stash of guns and ammo, Measi her eyes widening when her eyes landed on a sniper rifle. ''Okay, that one is so mine.'' The others chuckled as Rick passed it to her, smiling when he saw her smile as she put it to her eye, smirking to herself. 

So, considering this entire chapter was about Morgan and that stuff, I decided to make a full chapter on my own input. Also, yes I made that gif, and I'm so happy with how it turned out. Thank you for reading this chapter, and if you enjoyed it please leave a vote, comment and add this book to your reading list to stay updated, I'll see you soon!
