Angel In Hell (completed)

Chapter 20

6 months later

*Skylar's POV*

We had been on the road for months through the winter. Rick and Daryl had gone hunting and I stood on watch with Carl and Beth. Rick now knew of Lori's pregnancy I convinced her to tell him. And when she did Rick was concerned about her safety but he barely spoke to her. Even Carl shut her out. I stood next to Carl,

"You alright?" I asked.

"I'm fine,  just tired"

"Pretty sure I speak for all of us when I say we're all tired."

Carl had grown up really fast over the time I've known him. Now he was twelve years old. He was nice to everyone and got along very well with me. We were talking when Daryl and Rick came walking back. Daryl kissed me and everyone got in their cars and I got on the back of Daryl's motorcycle and we left.

We ended up at a prison that Rick and Daryl found hunting. We cut a whole in the fence and were able to get inside.  We got to the gate. Walkers filled the courtyard,

"It's perfect. We can shut that gate,  prevent more from filling the yard.  We can take out these walkers we'll take the field by tonight" Rick told us.

I looked out into the field,  it looked possible.

"How do we shut the gate?" Hershel asked.

"I'll go you guys cover me" Glenn said.

Maggie shook her head.

"No suicide run"

I bit my lip.

"Rick I'll do it, I'm the fastest" I told him.

Daryl yanked my arm back.

"No way in hell you're going" he told me glaring.

"I'm going"

"No Daryl you and Carol go on the guard tower. Maggie, Glenn,  Beth draw as many as you can over there. Pop em through the fence. Lori you too. Hershel,  Carl up in this tower."

Rick instructed and everyone went to their posts. Rick looked at me,

"Just go don't stop for anything you hear me?"

I nodded and Rick opened the gate and I took off running. I heard Daryl screaming he was going to kill Rick. Gunshots rang and a walker stepped in my path and was taken down by an arrow. Nice shit Daryl! I glanced back but then kept going and I closed the gate and ran to the guard tower going in closing the door. I did it.

*Daryl's POV*

I stood on watch on top of the overturned bus by the gate.  It made me so mad that Skylar pulled that stunt or that Rick let her. At least  she did it without getting hurt. That was good but I was still mad. That's when I heard struggling and seen Skylar with a plate of food I took her hand and helped her up with me. She handed me a plate and smiled,

"You didn't eat so here you go" she told me.

I took the plate but didn't say anything I just grunted.

"Daryl I'm sorry look I wanted to help"

That's when I looked at her.

"You could've gotten killed" I told her.

"Well with your great shooting I know I'd be safe"

She smiled and I shook my head.

"How can you make jokes?"
