The Walking Dead [Daryl Dixon]

Chapter 47- Some secrets are best kept hidden

~Haley's P.O.V.~

The knife tore through my skin even deeper. I squeezed onto my leg when the pain only escalated. It was silent until I heard someone walking. I looked up to see a walker staring straight at me. I looked back down and sniffed before I took out the knife from my stomach. It wasn't so deep inside. I looked up at the walker. It was a women, she was wearing a raggedy dress. She had a big blow on her stomach. Must've been shot by a shotgun. My eyes were red, flooded with tears just waiting to spill out. I stood up with blood still spilling from my stomach. I stood up and balanced on one foot as she approached me. The closer she came the more she snarled and growled. Once she was only inches from me she held out her arms and pounced towards me. I pushed her back and still she came to me. I fought her as she lunged foward trying to bite me. I pushed with all my strength and she fell back. I grabbed my knife and stabbed her in the head and some blood came on my clothes. I stabbed her about a dozen times over and over. I gasped when I finally stood up. I held onto my stomach as I hopped back to the church. I looked down at my shirt to see the blood stained, it wasn't really blending in because my shirt was light red. I noticed everyone getting ready, I looked closer to see Bob. Damn.

"Hey where have you been?" Michonne asked approaching me

"Just clearing my head"

"All night?" She asked. I could see she was looking at my shirt. Some blood was the walkers, most of it was mine

"It was just a walker" I said

"You were out all night?" She asked

"Just clearing my head. That's all" I walked away quickly with the rest of the group getting ready to bury Bob. I stood around as they put Bob into the grave. After they did Abraham handed Rick a map

"This is our route to DC. We will stick to it as long as we're able. If not, well, you got our destination. Once Eugene gets to the big brains left up there, things are gonna bounce back"

I highly doubt Eugene knows how to ends this

"This group should be here for it. You should be there for it" Abraham said

"We will" Michonne said

"We will" Rick said turning to us then back at Abraham

Abraham nodded and turned around to Rosita, Eugene, Tara, but I was surprised. Glenn, Maggie were with them. They got on the bus and Abraham closed the doors. Then they left. I sighed. Tyreese and Rick stayed outside while the rest of us went inside. I sat on the chair and noticed Michonne looking at me. She simply smiled and looked away. I went over to the restroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I slightly picked up my shirt and softly touched my stomach and winced. The blood was still kinda coming out but it mostly stopped. I didn't even want to patched it up. I couldn't believe what I almost did. I pulled up my hair and put my bangs up getting them out of the way. I washed my face and could see the dirt that washed down the sink. I walked out of the room and back to the church. I sat on the floor and just stared foward. Michonne was outside with Gabriel while Rick, Tyreese, and Sasha were elsewhere. I closed my eyes trying to sleep but I just couldn't, knowing Daryl was still out there. And last night I didn't even sleep. Gabriel walked back inside and walked straight to his room. Michonne didn't walk in till a couple minutes later. And she wasn't alone. Daryl walked in behind her followed by some other guy whom I didn't recognize. But I was too focused on Daryl. He quickly ran to my side while I was on the floor. He kissed me and looked at me while he pushed a small piece of hair behind my ear. His face was dirty and his bangs were hanging beyond his eyes. I was still shocked he was here. I hugged him tightly and pulled away

"How's the ankle?" He asked

I looked at him and punched on his shoulder

"Ouch!" He held his shoulder "What what that for?"

"Why did you leave?! Again?!"

"I'm sorry baby, but Carol and I had a chance, and we had to take it"

"What happened?"

"We went after to whoever took Beth"

I nodded and looked past him at the kid next to Michonne

"That's Noah, I will explain tomorrow. Right now. I just want to lay with you" Daryl said

I nodded, Michonne and Noah walked into the other room where Rick and the others were at. I laid down next to him as he put his arm around me.

"Where's Carol?" I asked

"I don't know, but I found him"

I stayed silent

"Haley I'm sorry I left. But I didn't know we were going to. I had to take that chance"

"Daryl, it's okay. I'm just glad your back. But Carol"

"I know. We need to find her. Is everyone else in the room?"

"Well. Bob is dead. Abraham and his crew along with Maggie and Glenn left on the bus to Washington" I said

"Wow. I'm gone for a day and all this happens"

"Yea.."

He kissed my forehead and I smiled. I can't finally sleep. The next morning Sasha was banging on some door. Destroying it. Everyone was at work on something. I walked outside and sat on the stairs. I was sitting looking out for a good 15 minutes until Daryl opened the doors

"What the hell were ya thinking?!" He almost yelled

I turned to look at him "What are you talking about?"

"You tried to kill yourself?! Are you insane?!" This time he yelled
