THE PREY AND PREDATOR, part three-033
ONE WEEK LATER
"Easy baby, easy," Rick spoke gently as his daughter woke up. She tried sitting up but Rick pushed her down.
"Daddy?" Matilda asked weakly as Rick wiped sweat-covered hair away from her face.
She still felt weak but was feeling much better than she did before. She looked up at her father, who was smiling at her.
"Hi, baby. You gave us a scare. How are you feeling?" He said, smiling.
"Better than before. What happened?" She asked as Rick grabbed her hand.
"You almost choked on your blood. But Hershel saved you." He replied, running his thumb over her hand.
Matilda nodded, looking around for her boys. "Where's Daryl and the boys?"
"Daryl's in the main cell block with the boys. I have to talk with him." Rick explained. "I will send Glenn up with some water, okay? I love you."
"I love you too, dad," she nodded, making her father smile.
Rick stood up and bent down, planting a kiss on her head before walking out.

"Man, you couldn't have waited till we got back?" Daryl questions angrily.
He and Rick were standing on the catwalk in the main cell block, talking about Carol.
"Until Tyreese got back?" Rick replied, watching as Daryl paced.
Carol was the one who burnt the bodies. He kicked her out when he took her on a ran.
"I could've handled that," Daryl muttered.
"Hey, hey. She killed two of our own. She couldn't be here. She's gonna be all right. She had a car, supplies, and weapons. She's a survivor." Rick explained making Daryl look back at him.
"Stop saying that like you don't believe it," Daryl spoke, aggressively.
"She did it. She said it was for us. That's how it was in her head. She wasn't sorry." Rick answered.
"Man, that's her, but that ain't her. What are we supposed to do about those two girls?" Daryl asked, looking at Rick.
"I told her we'd look after them. I haven't told Tyreesse yet. I don't know how he's gonna take it." Rick replied as Daryl leaned on the railing.
