The redneck has feelings? (daryl dixon love story)

Chapter 25

We heard cars coming from outside the tent,

"dads back." Carl smiled.

i nodded,"let's go see him."

I took his hand and we walked out to the group forming around the car that Rick and Glenn got out of. I looked to daryl who avoided eye contact with me. Ok?

"Who's that?" Shane asked.

i brought my eyes to the boy in the backseat of the car. When t got him out of the car my eyes widened and fear overtook my body.

"That's Randall, ran into some trouble with his group when we found Herschel. They attacked us, 2 of em are dead, the others ran off. He's hurt." Rick explained.

No it wasn't jack, but I recognized that boy and I didn't want to be anywhere near him. If he was here jack wouldn't be far behind. I didn't notice how scared I was till Carl said,

"ow. Kayla your hurting my hand."

That got Daryl's attention.i looked down and didn't even recognize that I was squeezing his hand in mine. I released it and apologized. I looked to daryl and tried to hide the fear in my eyes. I thought I did good, but his eyes were searching deep into my eyes so I quickly turned my head back to Randall. Rick took him to Herschel and we all followed behind. Herschel came out onto his porch and saw the situation,

"Patricia prepare for surgery." He yelled.

i couldn't keep my eyes off of the boy as Rick led him to the barn and set him down. As Rick and t set him down, they took off his blindfold and he looked around for the first time. His eyes searched all of our faces till he came to mine. His eyes stopped and widened. My heart was pounding, I was trying not to show fear but I know he saw it. I backed up a bit and instantly ran from the barn.

daryls pov.

i watched as they took the blindfold off the stupid prick. He looked at us all shaking and scared. Hell I'd be too. His eyes scoped us out till he came to kayla and stopped. That pissed me off. She starred at him with nothing but pure fear in her eyes and he seemed surprised. His eyes looked her body up and down. Oh hell no! Wait till I get my hands on the little prick. Kayla backed away and ran out of the barn. I grunted and he looked towards me as I glared at him, I wasn't gonna let him touch her. He shivered at my stare which made me smile a bit. Herschel came in to do his surgery and dismissed us all out of the barn. Walking out Rick motioned for me to follow him and once we were out of hearing distance he said,

"when Herschel's done i want ya to go in there and find out anything you can. Anything about his group, where they are located, how many. Do anything ya gotta do." He said.

i nodded and he walked away and watched the barn awaiting the old man to come out so I could go in. I was happy,mid be able to get my hands on the prick. Im usually not a violent man, but That look he gave kayla wouldn't get out of my head. I was going to enjoy this.

(a few hours later) still Daryl's pov

Herschel finally came out of the barn. It's about damn time! I walked over to the barn about ready to go inside when he stopped me,

"give him a day to rest then question him."

i grunted and walked back to the group, everyone was by the fire, but one person. Dammit kayla. I rolled my eyes and walked out to my tent. Passing hers and peaking in. She was laying down on her sleeping bag starring at the wall. I opened up her tent and she jumped up

"I thought I told ya your staying with me so I can keep an eye on you." I said.

she just nodded and packed up her sleeping bag and grabbed a few clothes for tomorrow and walked behind me to my tent. We settled er in and I put my crossbow down and lay on my bag. She spread put her bag and lay on the other side. We just starred at each other. Her beautiful green eyes bore into my hard blue ones. I hadn't said a word to her since the barn. She's had a tough day. Almost got raped, brother died, hell no wonder she wants to die, but she was tough. She would survive this. In that moment I realized I wasn't going to be able protect this girl from everything. Shes been hurt too much. Her eyes started to droop and she was out in seconds. I watched her sleep for a while. Yeah may be weird but seeing her like that calmed me. I decided to turn around and go to sleep, I had a big day tomorrow. And I was gonna enjoy every minute of it.
