"Is that a damn dog?" Merle asked
Daryl, who had paused to light a smoke stopped, just before the lighter touched the cigarette. Looking towards the house he sees the familiar white and black speckled fur, stained with red.
"Son of bitch." He hisses, the lighter and cigarette hitting the ground as he raced to the house.
Merle was confused but was fast on his brother's heels, they bust into the house and found it was quiet besides the sound of dishes clattering in the sink and water swishing.
They share a look before entering the kitchen, there they spot their sister.
Aspen stood at the sink with her back to them, washing dishes as their father sat at the table eating and drinking.
Merle stayed in the doorway of the kitchen, watching his younger siblings as Daryl approached their sister like she was a spooked fawn.
Daryl kept his voice gentle as he spoke "The hell happened?"
She didn't face him, didn't make a sound, but he noticed how she scrubbed harder at the pan, chipping some of the coating.
"I shot that damn dog."
Daryl faced his father, anger settling in his gaze "What?"

Beneath the ashes - Daryl Dixon (twd season 7-8)
In a world where survival means staying invisible, Mae has made herself a ghost. Alone but for her loyal dog Ash, she drifts through the ruins of Virginia's forests and backroads, steering clear of every group. Especially the violent ones like the Saviors. She's learned the hard way that people are more dangerous than walkers. Trust is a luxury she can't afford. But when fate brings her into the orbit of Daryl Dixon, another loner carrying scars of his own, Mae's solitary world begins to fracture. Drawn reluctantly into the war against Negan, Mae is forced to confront not only the horrors of the apocalypse but the ghosts of her past: a broken family, the brother who tried to protect her, and the mother who never could. As the battle lines between Alexandria, Hilltop, the Kingdom, and the Saviors harden, Mae must decide if she can risk connection again-especially with someone like Daryl, whose quiet strength threatens the fragile walls she's built around her heart.

Mr.Baby blue eyes; C.G
An older-looking guy stepped towards me and my eyes flashed directly to his bat. It was a wooden baseball bat with what looked like some kind of wire around it. My eyes widened up in fear and I began to have a panic attack. The guy's face immediately softened, "Back up, she's just a kid!" He whispered sharply and pushed the Freddie Krueger looking guy out of the way, and knelt down in front of me. "What's your name, sweetheart?" He spoke so low I could barely hear him. I didn't answer and just stared at the bat that was not even two feet from my face. "I'm trying to help you." His voice got sterner, and that just made me even more scared but I forced words out of my mouth. "F-Faye," I whispered, winching due to the fact it's been so long since I've spoken. The man nodded, then stood up and held out his hand. I looked up at him, and he nodded towards my ankle. "I've got stuff in the RV over there, I can help." I was reluctant to trust him, and he seemed to take notice. "You really don't have another option, kid."Complete
