《Breathe Princess (Daryl Dixon Love Story)》Chapter Twenty Seven
Advertisement
I plopped down of Daryl's bike wrapping my arms tightly around his waist as soon as we took off. Winter has passed, hell probably months did and all we did was migrate from house to house hoping to find a safe place to be in.
''We have no other place to go'' I said as we stopped in the middle of no where feeling the stress start to hit me.
''When this herd meets up with this one, we'll be cut off, we'll never make it south'' Maggie pointed out on the map as i took a closer look.
''What do you say, it's about 150 head?'' Daryl spoke from beside me making me lean on to him hoping to ease the pain on my knee. Not going to lie and say it isn't bothering me because it is. I haven't been taking care of it much since we move around a lot. Hershel offers out help but i wouldn't take it because i didn't want him nor the group to worry about me since we've got a lot on our shoulders.
''That was last week, could be twice by now''
''This river could have delayed them. If we move fast, we might have a shot to tear right through this'' Hershel put in making me shake my head.
''Yeah, but if this group joins with that one, they could spill out this way'' I chimed in pointing out what's on the map.
''So we're blocked'' Maggie sighed making me run my fingers through my hair.
''Only thing to do is double back at 27th and swing towards Greenville'' Rick spoke making T-dog argue with him ''We picked through that already, it's like we spent the winter going in circles''
''Yeah, I know. I know. At Newnan we'll push west. Haven't been through the area. We can't keep going house to house.'' He looks at Lori in the car ''We need to find some place to hold up for a few weeks''
Daryl grabbed my hand taking me beside the edge of the forest ''Did you take your pills?''
''Fucking sake this is the third time you have questioned me today, i know what i have to do. I'm not nine Daryl'' I exploded keeping my voice down not wanting for the group to hear us.
''After what you told me how the fuck shouldn't i be worried all the fucking time?'' He glared making me glare back ''You worry too fucking much, calm your ass down'' This is literally all we do these days; argue. It's really stressful arguing with him because i don't like arguing with anybody especially him.

''Whatever'' I mumbled pulling my hair out of my face ending the argument after basically trying to get on each others throats for the last three minutes. ''Hey, while the others wash their panties, let's go hunt. That owl didn't exactly hit the spot'' He pushed past me walking over to Rick. I sighed deeply sliding into the car slamming the door shut in process.
My eye's gazed in awe as i started at the prison in front of me ''This is perfect'' I breathed.
''If we can shut that gate, prevent more from filling the yard, we can pick off these walkers. We'll take the field by tonight'' Rick explained.
''So how do we shut the gate?'' Hershel asked making me bite my lip.
''This might be crazy, but i can do it. I'm fast'' I said nervously as they all stared at me.
''You have a sprained knee, you push that down. You'll get a worse injury than you already have'' Hershel stated making me nod and grip on my backpack.
''I will then'' Glenn said.
''No, it's a suicide run''
''I'm the fastest'' Glenn argued further.
''No. You, Maggie, Beth and Annora draw as many as you can over there (he points on the direction) , pop them through the fence. Daryl, go back to the other tower. Carol, you've become a pretty good shot, take your time, we don't have a lot of ammo to waste. Hershel, you and Carl, take this tower'' Rick ordered making everyone get in position.
All of us started to draw the walkers by screaming. I took a moment before plugging my knife in the walkers skull. Everything was going perfect and then the walkers started to get drawn to Rick but he managed to shut the gate. I cursed under my breathe in relief, we took our guns out and started shooting. Not the best shooter but i did better good.
''We haven't had this much space since we left the farm'' Carol laughed spinning around making me giggle.
I squealed jumping up as i felt arms wrap around me. I turned around only to be met by those blue eyes, i wrapped my arm around his waist making him wrap his arm around my .
''This is perfect'' I said for the second time, looking around. He looked at smiling ''It is''
Daryl and i stood on top of the car, myself cuddling into Daryl's poncho. ''You look tired'' Daryl mumbled peaking on my forehead.

''I am'' I yawned rubbing my eyes.
''You should go eat up and rest, you need it'' Daryl said rubbing my arm.
''You need it too'' I shot wrapping my arms around his waist, resting my head on his chest.
''I'll come later, i have to finish watch'' I nodded. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing my lips on his. He gladly kissed back before we both pulled away.
He slapped my butt as i tried to get down, i playfully glared at him making him laugh and help me down.
Glenn handed me a plate making me thank him. I sat down beside Beth taking a bite of the chicken ''Mmmm... Just like mom used to make'' Glenn moaned making me giggle and smile.
''Tomorrow, we'll put all the bodies together. We want to keep them away from that water. Now, if we can dig a canal under the fence, we'll uh have plenty of fresh water'' T-dog informed.
I watched as Carol got up plate in hand and headed towards Daryl. I huffed in annoyance and felt kind of angry. I pushed my plate back loosing my appetite.
''You only took half a bite'' Beth whispered. I shrugged playing with my fingers.
''The soil is good, we could plant some seed, grow some tomatoes, cucumbers, soybeans'' Hershel looks at Rick and shakes his head ''That's his third time around. If there was any part of it compromised, he'd have found it by now''
''This will be a good place to have the baby. Safe'' Beth said to Lori making her smile.
I looked as Daryl and Carol start to get closer to each other in some way making me feel hurt. I tore my eyes off of that scene before anyone notices. I rested my head on Beth's shoulder sighing deeply.
''Bethy, sing "Paddy Reilly" for me. I haven't heard that I think, since your mother was alive'' Hershel asked making Maggie groan.
''Daddy, not that one, please''
''How about "Parting Glass"?'' Hershel begged
''No one wants to hear that''
We all looked at her ''Why not?'' Glenn said.
''Okay'' She said taking a deep breath and then she started to sing. Maggie joined her half way and they sound beautiful; They were like angles.
I didn't meet Daryl's eyes when they both joined us, i couldn't.
''Beautiful'' Hershel said as we clapped when they were done.
''Better all turn in. I'll take watch over there, we've got a big day tomorrow'' Rick said making us look at him, confused.
''What do you mean?'' I questioned.
''Look, I know we're all exhausted. This was a great win. But we gotta push just a little bit more. Most of the walkers are dressed as guards or prisoners, looks like this place fell pretty early. Could mean the supplies may be intact. They have an infirmary, a commissary''
''An armory?'' Daryl asked.
''That would be outside the prison itself, but not too far away. Warden's offices would have info on the location. Weapons, food, medicine, this place could be a gold mine!'' Rick explained.
''We're dangerously low on ammo. We'll run out before we make a dent'' Hershel stated.
''That's why we gotta go in there. Hand to hand. After all we've been through, we can handle it, I know it. These assholes don't stand a chance''
We all said goodnight's to each other as all of us got in our tents. I entered ours taking my shoes off, i stripped out my clothes changing into comfortable ones.
''Hey'' Daryl greeted making me roll my eyes. I took out my bag, taking my pills. I threw it to the side once i was done.
He put his crossbow to the side, grabbing my hand turning me around ''What's up with you?''
''How was your night'' I spoke harshly glaring at him, pulling my hand away.
''Really? This is what you though i would do?'' His southern accent made me want to back away but not right now.
''Sure looked like it''
''Ain't a man like that''
''My eyes don't lie, and you proved you are a man like that'' I blurted out making his eyes turn dark.
''You don't know shit woman, don't go around not knowing anything''
''Well i do since you two have been getting all mushed up lovey dovey'' I stuttered making him chuckle.
''You don't know shit, open your damn brain. I ain't like that''
''Screw you'' I breathed not believing what i hear. I laid down far away from him facing the tent's wall having enough. He's probably doing the same since i'm hearing him shuffle around, being far away from me. Because that's what he want to be, far away from me.
