The Walking Dead [Daryl Dixon]

Chapter 49- Never a secure place

"Hey easy"

I turned to see Michonne

"What happened?" I softly said

"You passed out middle of walking"

I chuckled and fully sat up "Great" I sarcastically said

I turned to see Gabriel scrubbing the floor and Carl standing above him

"But I know why" She said

"Why?" I cleared my throat

"Your wound. It wasn't cleaned up. It was infected"

I slightly picked up my shirt and noticed a white bandage across my stomach. I looked up at her "Thanks"

She nodded "I will be back" She said patting my shoulder "Get some rest"

I nodded. She stood up and left. I stayed sitting down taking a deep breath

"Glad to see your up" Carl said as he rocked Judith

"Thanks kid" I smiled

Judith softly cried and Carl tried rocking her

"Can I?" I asked

He nodded and handed her to me. I rocked her softly and began humming a song. She cuddled and got quiet. The next morning I noticed Gabriel was still in his room. I stood by the window and noticed it was quiet outside. That was a good sign. We all sat around

"So do you think they will be back?" I asked

"Abraham and his group?" Carl asked

"But I still can't believe Glenn and Maggie went along" Michonne said

"To be honest I don't think Eugene knows how to end all this" I said

"He's a scientist" Carl said

"Yea but we can't stop this. No matter what" I said

Michonne nodded as she made a face to Judith and smiled

"What do you guys think about Gabriel?" I asked

"He's okay. He gave us shelter" Carl said

"He just seems off, and odd" I said

Out of nowhere we heard yelling, it came from right outside. Then we heard growls. No no this can't be good. We all stood up. Carl left the room and sprinted towards the door

"Carl wait" I said but he was already at the door

Michonne handed me Judith. She ran to Carl

"Get back" She said. She banged on the door with a machete as Gabriel continued to yell. Or atleast it sounded like him. She tried over and over till it finally broke. Gabriel ran in and walkers followed. My eyes widen

"Get back" Michonne said

Carl began to shoot and Michonne took out her sword.

"The rectory, come on" Gabriel said

He lead us to the room and we ran in. He closed the door

"That's where I got out, come on"

We got into position and climbed into the ground to get out. It hurt because of my stomach and my foot but I ignored the pain. We made it outside and Gabriel came out last.

"I can't run anymore" Gabriel said

"We're not running" Michonne responded

We sneaked to the front again Carl and Michonne killed the rest of the walkers. They closed the doors to the front doors and locked the walkers that were inside. We stood outside the church

"Great, now what" I said balancing myself on one foot

I turned to look at Gabriel  "What the hell were you thinking?!" I almost yelled and I ganged up on him

"Hey. Haley. Come on. Don't" Michonne said holding me back

I angrily walked a good distance and just stood thinking. Now we don't have a place to stay. Glenn is who knows where. Daryl most likely won't even forgive me. My foot isn't completely healed. My wound still hurts. The growls only got louder in the church, they were beginning to break down the door. Tearing it apart. We began to take steps backwards

"Where do we go?" Gabriel asked

"Well we would still have the church if you hadn't left" I snapped at him

Before we knew it a big fire truck crashed into the front of the church. A big sigh of relief flew over me when I realized who it was.
