The Girl From The Woods (Daryl Dixon x OC)

Chapter 27- Do i Need To Know?

hey guys I am soooo sorry that its taken me so long to update i had written this part ages ago but never got round to posting it with my laptop completely failing on me but i manged to keep it running just long enough to post this up.

again sorry but please enjoy :)

We took the bikeand car so far and left them behind figuring it would be better onfoot. We put them in a garage in a small town after clearing out thewalkers from it. Daryl was really hesitant about leaving his bikeseeing as he has only just got one back and he worked hard to get itrunning again.

" So Kira..."

I drew myattention to Aaron "Why is it exactly you wanted to come out of thewall? Don't get many volunteers for this part of the job"

I giggledslightly nudging Daryl "someone's gotta keep an eye on this guy"

"Well eitherway I was coming with Daryl he wouldn't have been alone"

"true but inall honesty I'm not 100% sure of you yet. Something weird's going onin that town and I don't know whether your part of it. I mean wedon't really know you I don't know if I can trust you around Darylalone yet. Although to be fair you and Eric seem to be the mostnormal people in Alexandria"

Aaron nodded tome with a smile "I actually understand, even if I told you I didn'tknow what was happening in the town I doubt you'd believe me till youfound out yourself anyway so how about for now we just have eachothers backs"

I nodded smilingat Aaron then looking to Daryl as I felt him rub my back as if I hadsaid a good thing just now. Honestly speaking I don't think Aaron ispart of it or Eric But I need to keep up my guard even around them.

We had beenwalking through the woods silently for a while now my feet werestarting to hurt quite a bit but I kept going. I had twisted my ankletripping over a while back but refused to tell the other two"peaches, Stop" Daryl had turned from the front of the group tolook at me and I noticed I was falling a bit behind.

"Stop What?"

"pretendin' youain't hurt" I looked away from him and moved forward "I'm fine weneed to keep going"

I felt Daryl grabmy arm as I pushed passed him "no, we need to keep going you needago back" I pulled out of his grip "I'm fine Daryl its nothing. WEneed to keep moving"

"hey come onnow guys I'm sure we can work this out"

"yeah we allkeep moving together, Daryl you know...I'm not going back withoutyou"

I heard Darylgrunt slightly and he kept moving forward in a huff but I smiled. Itwasn't a case of being happy I won at all I was just happy that itmeant Daryl knew I cared enough to stay with him through the pain.

"Kira at leastlet me wrap it for support" I nodded sitting down on a higher upbranch so Aaron could wrap my ankle. I put my boot back on, I went tojump down only to feel Daryl's hands around my waist pulling me down.

I smiled up athim when I saw him smirk "lil peaches".

I gave him adeadpan look 'lil peaches' god damn it he knows I hate my heightbeing only around 5.2 and him around 5.10 I huffed and kept movinghearing a little chuckle from Daryl and Aaron. As I kept walkinghearing them both closely behind we came to an opening my heartalmost stopped.

"you guysseeing this?"

"yeah I see itpeaches"

"wow amazingits lasted this long"

there stood infront of us was a horse, not wild definitely brought up by humans asa pet. I went to move forward but felt Daryl's hand move in front ofme. He lowered himself a bit and started edging forward very slowlywith a rope in his hand. He wasn't thinking about killing it was he?Something like that I dunno if I could, its something worth keepingaround that's for sure. I watched as Daryl was nearly within reach ofthe horse It didn't even see Daryl as a threat I wonder how he's sogood with animals, I mean I know he grew up living in the country andhunting by himself and his brother but I guess I didn't think aboutit. I didn't realize till now but I really don't know anything aboutDaryl or his past, I don't even know if any of that matters anymore Imean hell I barley know anything about my past.
