"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.
Broken Soul {A Walking Dead Fanfic} β’Carl Grimesβ’ #TWD
I gasped staring wide eye at Carl as he pressed my body against the kitchen counter. He trapped me in his arms and his cold blue eyes stared into my grey ones. He seemed angry and-confused? He cursed under his breath and he pressed his face to the space of my neck. He clenched his hands into fists and hit the counter in fusteration. I whinched and I felt afraid of what he might do next. "What are you doing to me?" He growled and I stiffened from his words. "W-what?" My voice wobbled as I tried to swallow the lump in my throat. He pulled his face away from my neck and his face was then really close to mine. His nose brushed mine and my heart kicked into overdrive. His left hand touched my cheek as his thumb stroked my lower lip. His cheeks flushed and some how I became relaxed. "You're driving me crazy.." My eyes widened in shock. Wait what?! Next thing I know his lips met mine and sparks began to fly. "Be mine..be mine forever-Lena Lockwood.." ~~~~~~~~~~~~β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THIS IS A FAN FICTION!!!
