Chapter 2

Ok guys, chapter 2! Hope u like and this chapter is once again dedicated to Abbiegail, one of my best friends AND readers on wattpad! Here we go......

 Flashback:

"Daryl! Angel! You get in here right now! You hear me?" My drunk pig of a father bellows at us. Daryl and I are outside playing. He's  teaching me how to climb a tree. Daryl's always teaching me stuff. He's the greatest teacher in the world. I freeze, parylyzed with fear. I am nearly at the top and Daryl's standing on the groud, encouraging me. Daryl's 20 and I'm 10. Merle's banged up in Juvie and our mom is god knows where. Probably slaving for our father like she always is. Daryl turns his face up to me. He's really tall and quite handsome but he doesn't realize it. His face is a total mask. If he's afraid,  he doesn't show it. "Come on down, Angie. You can do it. It's just a few steps." He coaxes me gently, smiling for my benefit.  I sigh, not wanting to get down but I know I have no choice. When our dad tells us to do something, we do it. With no hesitation. I gingerly climb down the tree, careful not to fall. I reach the ground succesfully. Daryl smiles brightly when I do. "That's it, good girl." He praises. I smile. He takes my hand and leads me into our rundown house. He's going first as if to protect me. He leads me to a possible beating that we both know we can't escape.......

We had told the others about the prison and they'd all agreed that it may be safe. We formulated a plan to infiltrate the prison as on closer inspection we had discovered that the prison courtyard and surounding area was full of walkers.

We approached the prison fence, our weapons drawn ready to kill any walkers. Rick produced a pair of wire cutters from his backpack and successfully cut through the fence in order for us to gain access.  Once we'd got in, Glenn and Daryl tied back the fence as to prevent any walkers coming in.  We quickly ran, stopping at the prison gates.

"Ok , someone has to get past the yard full of walkers to close the gate on the other side." Rick said, glancing round for any volunteers. Glenn and I raised our hands slowly. But Rick shook his head. "No, on second's thought, it'll be better for me to do it." He announced.

I began to object as I was faster than Rick but he cut me off quickly by announcing the strategy. "Glenn, Beth, T-Dog, Maggie and Angel will distract and kill the walkers through the fence." We all agreed and we were given crowbars, bats and other weapons to kill the walkers easily.

"Carol, Daryl, Hershel, Carl, Cori and Caleb, you shoot walkers from the watchtowers." He told them. They nodded. Before Caleb walked off, I accosted him. "Be careful." I said, concerned.

Caleb shot me a loving smile. "Hey, I'm shooting walkers from a safe watchtower. You're doing the dangerous aspect of the job. I should be telling you to be careful." He teased playfully.

I smiled and kissed him. "I will. I love you." I replied and let him go. Before he did, he whispered, "Love you more." 

I smiled again, shyly. "That's not possible." I laughed quietly. He laughed as well and kissed me back. "Believe me, it is." He said when we parted.

"Oy, lovebirds! Get a room or get a move on! We've got walkers to kill and a prison to move into, if you haven't noticed." Daryl shouted, ruining the mood.

I turned around and glared at him. He rolled his eyes. "Mind your own business, Daryl!" I yelled back, indingnant.

Caleb laughed quietly. "He's right. Got to go, walkers to shoot, prison to take over." He joked. I smiled. "Same old, same old." I replied.

He winked at me and ran to join Cori. I smiled for a minute and leaped into actions. As I ran along the narrow paths enclosed by fences, walkers pawed and snarled on the outside. Pushing their arms through the holes, eager to catch us and feast. No chance. I put my machete to good use and speared each walker through the head.
