The Walking Dead [Daryl Dixon]

Chapter 43- Together once again but still broken

~Haley's P.O.V.~

I sliced the knife into a walkers neck. Blood squirted everywhere and onto my shirt but I was used to it by now. I could heat people yelling in pain, I kept moving and moving until I noticed someone running, then another, then another. My eyes widen and I yelled, which wasn't a good idea. I see the group turn around when I felt blood splatter on my back. I turned to see Daryl behind me. I hugged him and put my arm around him

"Come on baby" He kissed my forehead and I limped off with him

We kept going until I was panting and groaning in pain. Daryl picked me up bridal style and we followed the rest of the group back to the woods. I looked around to see we all made it out. Everyone was here. We followed Rick when he bent down and began to dig for the bag of guns. I simply stood on one leg as Daryl helped Rick. I struggled as I hopped on one leg to keep myself balanced because of how much my ankle hurt. Carl came over snd stood next to me as I placed my arm around him. He smiled as I nodded

"Thanks" I said

He nodded. I peered down at my ankle to see it getting swollen. Damn, this can't be good. I looked back to see some of the building on fire. We made it out. That's the most important thing

"The hell we still around here for?" Abraham asked

"Guns, some supplies" Rick said "Go along the fences use the rifles. Take out the rest of them"

What the hell Rick? I thought as I continued to try to keep my balance on one leg with Carl's help

"They don't get to live" Rick said

We all took a sigh

"Rick we got out. It's over" Glenn said

Rick just continued to open the bag of guns "It's not over til they are all dead"

"The hell it isn't, that place is on fire" I said "Full of walkers"

"We made it out, the fences are down. Rick they will run or die" Maggie said

She was right. Rick stayed silent as he looked up at Daryl. We heard footsteps behind and turned as we saw Carol. Oh my god. She was holding some guns. Daryl's crossbow and my bow and arrow. Daryl didn't hesitate as he ran up to her and embraced her. We were all so happy to see her. Daryl just hugged her tightly. To be honest I was slightly jealous. But that jealously flew over me quickly. I was just happy to see her. I noticed Daryl crying a little. Rick approached them as we followed. I hopped over slowly behind. Daryl and Carol finally pulled away

"Did you do that?" Rick asked Carol

She smiled and nodded. Rick just hugged her as we all chuckled

"Thank you" I whispered

She looked at me and nodded before they pulled away and Carol spoke "You all need to come with me"

We all nodded as everyone began to follow Carol. Daryl walked over to me and took over Carl's job. We walked in the woods for awhile until we walked on the street

"How's the ankle?" He asked

"Swollen" I frowned

He kissed my head as we kept on walking

"How did you do it?" I asked as I turned to Carol "How did you know?"

She shrugged her shoulders "I saw you guys being put into the train cart. And I knew I had to help my family"

I chuckled "Well if it wasn't for you we would all be dead"

We continued up a hill. It was pretty tough for me considering I was hoping on one leg. But Daryl carried most of my weight

"Well I did have help" She smiled at us as we reached the top of the hill. Carol looked back foward as we did. Smiles stretched across our faces when we saw Tyreese coming out of a small shed with Judith. Rick automatically set down his guns and ran towards his baby. Carl followed close behind. Rick held Judith crying, Tyreese hugged his sister as we surrounded. I held onto my bow and arrow strapped to my back. Afterwards we all caught our breath and talked. I was sitting down and Rick checked my ankle

"We need to find a secure place. You can't keep going on without making that ankle worse" Rick said standing up

I nodded. We all stood up and gathered our things. I felt hurt, lost. I looked back over my shoulder to look at the smoke still riding. Are we ever going to find a secure place like the prison to call home again?
