DERANGED (R. Grimes)°

Chapter 12 "but we will be back"

We all followed behind daryl as he entered the camp, I stood beside Shane, as daryl calls for his brother began getting the attention of everyone in the group, each looking at him like he was a bomb

"daryl!" I called out, getting the confussed man's attention

Shane put his gun away in his car and stepped beside me once again "slow up a bit, we need to talk to you" he said calmly, daryl glanced around the group again, as we got closer to him

"abo what?" daryl asked, the squirells now resting in a firm grip in his hands, Shane rubbed his mouth as he stood up to him, I stood a little away, wondering if I should be the one to tell him, rick stepped up beside me now, both of us on daryls right

"about merle" Shane said finally coming to a hault "there was a problem in athlanta"

I studied daryl closely, I could see him tense up slightly, worry filling his eyes as he looked around like a stray cat

"he dead?" daryl asked, now pacing around Shane

"not sure" Shane said

"he either is or he ain't!" daryl said, anger filling his voice as his pace came closer to shane, to close for my comfort

"no easy way to say it, so I'll just say it" rick said from beside me as he stepped closer, I walked beside him in a protective Manner

"who are ye" daryl spat rudly "I'm rick grimes, this is iris Earl" rick answered

"rick grimes" daryl mocked looking between us "ye got Somthin you wanna tell me"

"you know your brother more then the rest of us, so you could understand that he was getting a little out of control" I said calmly, daryl glared at us

"he was a danger to us all, so I handcuffed him to a roof on a metal pipe.. He's still there" rick explained

Daryl turned away from us, rubbing sweat from his eye

"let me process this" he said swirling his finger "your saying you handcuffed my brother to a roof.. And you left him there!" his voice echoed out threw the mountain, I bit my lip, not being able to even begin understand what he must be feeling

"ya" rick amswered simply, suddenly daryl threw the squirells he had in his hand at us, rick dodged it but it flew right into my chest, before I could even process it, he charged after rick but got tackled down by Shane

I dropped the squirells angrily, my chest hurting slightly, but as daryl lay on the floor, I heard the sound of a knife being taken out, daryl stood abruptly, and began slashing at rick

Rick kept his calm, dodging the swings, but I ran up and got a firm hold on daryls arm, he fought against me as I bent down his wrist, causing the knife to fall

"get of me woman!" he yelled gruffly as he violently tried to get out of my grip, before he could, Shane came up behind him and grabbed a chock hold around his neck, daryl grunted and cursed as rick moved me back by my waist, as Shane slowly lowered the frantic man to the ground

"best let me go!" daryl yelled "chock holds illegal!"

"ya well feel free to compile a complaint" Shane said gruntly

"Shane!" I called as daryl trashed around "Shane stop!" I said coming beside him, daryl face became red, his eyes filling with tears

Daryl was breathing heavy as rick bent down in front of him, I turned away and raised my hand to my forehead, squeezing my eyes closed as I began to get a slight headache

"I'd like to have a calm, quiet discussion, think we can manage that?" Rick said to him, like he was scowling a small child

"here, that ain't helping" I said, now managing to get Shane away from daryl, he threw him away as daryl continued to Pant heavily
