Saviours (Daryl Dixon)

25. Long needed talk

"Hey I'm thea. I came for the bow" I say to the lady in the storage room.
"Right deanna told me you would be here" she says nodding.
"Great" I say as she passes it to me.
"I'm Olivia by the way. And Deanna said you don't have to bring it back" she says nodding.
"Right thanks Olivia" I say nodding.
"Hello?" I hear carol.
"Hey" I reply as me and Olivia walk back to the food room.
"Hey Thea, what you doing here?" She asks.
"Getting my bow but I'm heading out now. Cya in a bit" I say waving as I leave.

It took around 3 hours to get around the fence and clear the little amount of walkers their.
By the time I got back Noah throw me a bottle of water and I went on a second lap.
When I manage that I got back to find rick waiting at the gate.

"Can I help you?" I ask walking in.
"No I just wanted to be the one to tell you about the welcome party tonight"
"Great" I mumble walking in to be see lucky.
"Hey girl!" I shout smiling.
"Go have a shower their meeting in an hour at the main house" rick informs me.
"Who said I was going?" I ask him.
"Me. Deanna trusts you, you need to be their"
"No I don't. Daryl won't be their for sure so I'm not going"
"Fine, just don't do anything stupid" he tells me and I nod walking off for the shower.

After my shower I stand in my new room. Rick told us this morning that we can go into the other house and obviously I claim one of the small but neat rooms.

"Ya bruises up again" scares the shit out of me.
I jump picking up a knife and pointing it towards Daryl.
"Oh Daryl. You scared me" I mumble putting the knife down.
"Turn around" he instructs. I turn and feel a cold hand run down next to my towel.
"Looks like your bows being smashed into you a few times" he mumbles.
"Yeah must have been the walking" I say turning again.

"Aaron's invites me round to his instead of the party. Ya wanna come?"
"Nah I'm gonna stay here. I've had a long day. You have fun thou" I tell him.
He snorts and nods.
"I'll be back later" he tells me as he walks off.
I quickly get change before a small knock comes form my door.
"Come in" I say straightening my top.
"Can you read again?" Rose asks instantly.
"Yeah but we'll go in your room" I say leading her out.

This is time I made it to chapter 5 and slowly feel my brain melt.
"Goodnight" I mumble kissing her head before I leave.
"Come on lucky. Let's go to bed" I say seeing my dog on the floor.
Slowly she gets up and we wonder to our room to wait for Daryl.

I squeak as I stretch for the first time and feel my back click.
"Morning" I hear Daryl grumble.
"Morning, gotta get up for work" I tell him and he snorts.
"Okay be safe"
"You too" I whisper back before getting up as quietly as possible.

"I might not be back tonight" he mumbles and I nod.
"Just make sure you come back" I whisper going to the bathroom.
As soon as I was done changing i grab my bow and Sprint down stairs and grab an apple before going to leave.

"Thea" I hear rick grumbles walking down the stairs.
"Morning. Hungover?" I ask watching him rub his head.
"A little" he replies and I chuckle.
"Well atleast you had some sort of a good night" I chuckle.
"Yeah, lucky you weren't their. There was way to many people" he says grabbing a coffee.
"Just as I suspected. I've gotta get to work but I hope you have a good day"

"Oh yeah what exactly is your job?" He asks.
"I clear the wall. Go round it twice a day to make sure theirs no build ups or traps" I say smiling.
"Good. I was gonna talk to Deanna about that today" he says.
"Well I gotta go" I say waving.
"Okay stay safe" he waves as I leave.

On my way out I see a van pulling out playing heavy music.
I open the gate for them waving as they go and continuing on my adventure.

I make my rounds and come back minutes before sunset.
"Hey" I say seeing glenn with a sad face on my porch.
"I tried to save him" he mumbles.
"Who?" I ask crouching next to him.
"Noah. We were trapped in some revolving doors with walkers on each side... I was trying to smash the glass but it moved the doors and Nicholas panicked...Basically fed him to the walkers" he explains head in his hands.
