Rose's POV
I woke up a day later and Daryl had told me he accidentally cut me arm open with his knife and I forgave him. With a kiss. He was shocked for a split second then gave me a warm smile which shocked the group. Maggie walked passed me handing me a plate of food.
Once we'd all eaten, Daryl grabbed my hand and we walked to his tent. He unzipped it and reached inside. He pulled out a hand crafted bow and a quiver of arrows. I gasped." I know it ain't no fancy combat bow, but I'm sure we can find one,will this do till then ?" He smiled at my face which was shocked and happy beyond belief. I looked at him." This is amazing, oh my god, Daryl you are actually the best ! " he smiled again. "Wanna test it out ? " I clutched the bow and quiver. "Yes! Of course I do !!" I grabbed his arm and we sped off to hunt.
**two hours later**
We came back from hunting and we mananged to bag 13 squirrels, 2 rabbits and a wild pig. We were gonna eat well for a while. Rick came over to help with the pig and as we walked over to the group who were cheering and shouting, Hershel and his family came out of the house bearing weapons, until they seen me and Daryl. Hershel lowered his shotgun and smiled, nodding his head.
Once the animals had been skinned, I offered to make Hershel and his family a meal to which Lori and Andrea quickly agreed. We made rabbit stew and roasted the squirrels and the pig. While we were waiting on the pig roasting, I decided to go hunting to improve my aim with my bow. Honestly, this weapon was beautifully carved and I treasured it more than my life. I walked over to Daryl's tent and and hit the can outside his tent to tell him I was there. We all had them outside our tents so there would be no awkward moments, if you know what I mean.
Daryl stuck his head out revealing very messy longish hair. "What you want ?" He looked up and seen me. "Oh nothing I was coming to tell you that I was going hunting, do you wanna come ?" He looked at me as if I was crazy. " no not this time, I'm real tired, why don't you ask rick or even Shane to go ? " I look at him squirming at the thought of Shane and me alone in the woods with walkers out and about.
" me and...uh...Shane...don't.....um....get along that well." He looks up at me confused. " what'd ya mean ?" I look up from the ground. " let's just say the looks he gives me aren't the nicest. " he finally realises and looks at me with a scowl." Has he tried anything ?" My eyes widen."God no I'd kick ass so hard he wouldn't be able to crap for a month." Daryl sniggers at the last part. "Well if you don't mind I'm going back to sleep. Wake me up for dinner" and with that his head disappeared inside the tent.
I walked back to the camp fire and noticed we were low on firewood. Rick noticed too and spoke up. "Glenn and Rose can you go get some more wood we're running low again." Glen rose up and offered me his hand. I took it and he pulled me up and we walked off towards the woods when I heard Shane speaking. " hey guys wait up I'm coming to help you out !" Glenn looked at me uneasily and pressed a knife into my hand I took it and slid it into the waist band of me jeans. We both turned to face him.
"Sure come on I saw some just around the corner earlier" Glenn said faking a smile. Shane caught up and eyed me, looking me up and down, lustfully. That made my stomach twist. Glenn coughed and continued walking making sure I was close to him in case Shane tried anything.
Glenn had just finished gathering the last of the wood when Shane came crashing through the trees, heading straight for Glenn. Anger clouded Shane's expression.
He charged at Glenn ready to kill him but I jumped in front of him."what are you doing Shane? " He looked me straight in the eyes. I gasped. His eyes were gold. It was him who was in the room going through my bag, not Daryl.
" He knows. He knows I need to kill him. It's either him or me." I look at Glenn who is downright terrified. "Glenn what's he talking about ?" Glenn gulps and looks at me. "Um...lori is pregnant and the kid is Shane's." I look at back at Shane. "Seriously shane what are you doing ! Stop it now! " he turned his gaze on me the unnatural gold swirling irises boring into my own blue eyes. "You're no better, you know." I look at him confused and me and Glenn share the same expression.
"What do you mean, ' I'm no better, I'm obviously better than you." He stalks towards me his fist curled. "Don't you even dare, you know I like you way better than that redneck !" Glenn silently starts moving away and I flick my wrist to my bow telling him to take it to daryl. I just hope he understands. I sigh in relief and Shane looks annoyed. " no your wrong,Shane your a player. You don't like me, you want me and the minute you reliase you can't have me the better because I don't like you at all."
As soon as I finish my sentence pain erupts in my stomach and I fall backwards. I look up to see Shane looking at his fist with pride and he walks over to me and lifts me by my hair. I shriek at the pain and he drops me. I quickly stand up and kick him the jewels. Hard. And run to the camp. He stands up and runs after me and as I make it to daryls bike, Shane grapples me to the ground.
He straddles my waist making it harder to get up. I punch him in the face and he grabs my throat, immediately cutting of my oxygen as Daryl sprints down followed by rick. Shane pulls out a knife and presses the tip into the flesh below my left eye and gradually pulls in down.Daryl ploughs into him making the knife drag down my face and stop just before my jaw. I gasp and cry at the pain and I try to get up but rick lifts me up. "My......bag....antidote....Shane......hurry" I manage to say as Maggie and Glenn take me to the farm house.
Another hour later
Daryl knocked on the door. " are you OK Rose? " I open the door "yea I'm OK, apart from the pain in my face and neck I'm fine."
Daryl looked at me." Its gonna scar ain't it ?" I looked up at him. "It was sorta deep so maybe why ?" He looked at me guiltily. "I should've came running I instead of getting rick. I should be went with ya, I should've listened to ya and stopped ya."
I gaze at him. "Daryl I'm fine ok , Hershel patched me up, it's ok it's not your fault." I pulled him into a kiss. "After all how could I condem someone I love. Huh ? " we slowly pull away and he smiles. "I've been waiting for that since I first laid eyes on you." I smiled up at him.
"I love you Daryl Dixon." He smiled again and Glenn burst through the door. "Uh guys ? " Daryl stands up. "What? " Glenn looks nervous and he swallows .
"There's walkers in the barn."
