Sorry it took me so long. But here you go guys ♡ love you all
---------------------------
*Adelyne*

Shit! Shit! Shit! I made it to Daryls motorcycle. I used it as a sheild and shot at the governor and his men. A bullet hit the bike and I screamed. My heart was racing I nearly lost my head. I fired again at his men. Suddenly I seen a walker coming at me. I shot it in the head and it fell. I went to shoot again and I seen the cars retreating. Right on cue Glenn and Maggie came driving in. A loud yell caught my attention. Hershel was on the ground struggling with a walker on top of him.

"Hershel!" I yelled.

I got to my feet and ran to him I stabbed the walker in the head and shoved him off. I pulled Herhsel up and the car pulled up next to us and Maggie got out helping him into the truck.

"Come on Adelyne get in" Maggie told me.

"No, go get him out of here. I'm going to help."

I ran and started to kill as many walkers as possible. I seen Rick fighting, pinned between walkers. I went to run to him but I tripped over a dead walker and went sliding in the grass. I laid there helpless for a second since I had the wind knocked out of me and I had hurt my ankle. Fuck! What else could go wrong? I was working my way to standing when a walker came at me. I kicked it but it didn't go far.

"Get off me!"

It just came back and this time it took me down onto my back. I used my arms to hold it at bay. It tried to get closer and I used all the strength I had to hold it away from me. I struggled, I desperately wanted to reach blindly for my knife but I had no idea how far it had flown when I fell. I heard the group yelling trying to get walkers to the fence to kill them. My arms were going to turn into jello any second. This is how I would go. That's when an arrrow went straight through the head of a walker and I froze in shock. I almost got an arrow through the skull. I shoved the walker off me onto the ground. Sitting up I winced as a pain went through my ankle. I looked at the arrow through the walkers head. That wasn't mine, there's no way my crossbow is by my bed.

"Adelyne!!" Rick yelled running up killing a walker.

I looked behind him and my eyes widened. It was Daryl, he had come back and he brought Merle. He looked so scared and his eyes locked with mine. The feild had fell silent and I knew all the walkers were dead. Rick knelt down in front of me.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"I hurt my ankle" I winced as I held it.

He moved it and I yelped in pain and smacked his hand away. Rick sighed and drapped my one arm over his shoulder and his arm around me. I limped when Daryl moved in to help I pushed him away.

"You get away from me I can do it!" I yelled.

Rick looked at us while still holding me.

"Adelyne let me help-"

"NO! I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP. YOURS EITHER!"

I pushed Rick away and limped back into the prison to have Herhsel look at my ankle.

------------------------------

Hershel was bandaging my ankle and I winced lightly as he tried to be gentle.

"It's not broken is it?" I asked worried.

Hershel tied the wrap in a knot.

"No it's just sprained the way you fell you sprained it. I want you to try your best to stay off of it, just don't push yourself to hard okay?" he asked.

I pushed my bangs away from my eyes. Great just what I needed a fucking sprained ankle. I sighed,

"Okay Hershel thank you" I told him.

He nodded and got up leaving my cell. I looked at my ankle and huffed I swung my legs off the edge of my bed and got to my feet and tried to take a step and hissed in pain falling back to the bed. I leaned down and rubbed my ankle. Okay let's not do that again, that fucking hurt.

"How are you?" Rick asked.

I looked up and nodded and he walked in.

"I appreciate you tried to save me sweetie."

"Tried being the key word in that sentence. My dumbass tripped and sprained my ankle, I'm glad you're okay Dad, I'd don't know what I'd do if I lost you too" I explained thinking back to Lori.

I was right there with her and I couldn't save her and that crushed me I'd have to carry that around with me for the rest of my life. I went back to rubbing my ankle.

"You know I'm always right here honey, but it is good Daryl showed up when he did."

I froze at the sound of his name and looked at his vest that I had hanging on the end of the bunk. The tattered wings facing towards me. I had been wearing it even though I was pissed at him. It smelled like him and it was the closest I had to him at the time.

"Yeah, sure was" I mumbled.

Rick leaned down and kissed the top of my head and said goodbye and I hung my head in my hands.

---------------------------------------------------

*Daryl*

I was sitting outside and I had Adelyne's knife in my hands. I had seen it in the grass when the sun hit it. It was my ticket to see her and get her to talk to me. I just hadn't worked up the courage and I was kind of afraid that she would bite my head off. I will admit that I deserved it, the way I left was hurtful and the whole time I couldn't stop thinking of her. I might have been with my brother but my heart was always here.

"We're not leaving" Rick told us all.

I looked up and he was talking to all of us. My eyes scanned the room and I seen Adelyne standing in the doorway of her cell leaning on the wall. Her arms were crossed over her chest and her hair hung over her shoulders and her breasts making her look gorgeous. Her clothes were different too, she was wearing her lace boots but this time her jeans were black and she wore a red shirt with a flannel over it. she must have felt me staring because her gaze locked with me and she looked away her mouth set in a firm line. I hadn't heard a lot of the conversation the only thing that pulled me away was the sound of my brothers voice.

"That truck through the fence thing. That was just him ringing the doorbell. He probably has guards on every back road out of here. Shoot he could starve us out if he wanted to"

"Let's put him in the other cell block" Maggie suggested becoming nervous.

"No he's right" I chimed in.

"This is all you, you started this" came Adelyne's voice.

We all looked up at where she was standing. She had moved and was holding onto the banister.

"Are we really going to sit here and decide who's to blame?" Merle asked.

"No need to we know this is your fault" Adelyne taunted leaning forward her hair falling in her eyes as she leaned.

"Why don't you do something about it Adelyne?" Merle taunted right back.

She moved with the swiftness of a cat and grabbed the knife that was tucked into her boot.

"Don't temp me"

"Stop it" Glenn said getting everyone's attention. "If Rick says we aren't leaving we aren't leaving"

"Why? If the Governor is on his way here right now, what are we still doing here?" Hershel asked.

I sighed and Rick started to walk off.

"Get back here!" Hershel yelled causing him to stop.

"You're slipping Rick. we've all seen it but now is not the time. I put my families life in your hands. I trust you their lives. You said this isn't a democracy now you have to own up to it."

Rick turned and faced us all.

"What are you gonna do officer friendly?" Merle asked with a snicker.

------------------------------------

We still weren't sure what we were going to do exactly so we waited for Rick to decide. And as everyone did their own thing I was standing looking up at Adelyne's cell. Merle came up to the gate that separated us,

"Are you going to talk to her?" he asked.

I fumbled with her knife that I still had and scoffed,

"Maybe."

"Just kiss and make up, it'll all work out, go."

I looked at him and then walked away and went up the stairs and stopped next to her cell. I bit my lip slightly and then stood in the doorway. She was reading a random book and she didn't even look up. I cleared my throat and she lowered the book and peered at me over the rim. She rolled her eyes and kept reading.

"Adelyne look-"

"I have no desire to talk to you. Leave me alone Daryl" she spat like venom.

Ouch okay that hurt but I deserved that.

"Okay, I deserved that. Listen I-" I began but she cut me off slamming her book down.

"You're lucky I'm injured because if I wasn't I'd have you strung up by your toes" she told me.

I sighed, and Adelyne got to her feet and slowly took a step towards me.

"You brought me my knife?"

I nodded and handed it to her and she snatched it putting it back where it belonged.

"Can I please just talk to you? I want to explain-"

"Fine we'll talk but you're going to listen to me."

I nodded and she crossed her arms over her chest again.

"First, you left by choice. And you didn't want me to go with you. You just left Daryl. You didn't even care who it hurt. You got what you wanted that being your brother. Now I wonder if you even loved me like you said you did. Kind of hard to-"

I stepped towards her steamed a bit.

"I'm stopping you right there. Don't you dare tell me that I don't love you Adelyne. You damn well know I do."

A short bark of laughter escaped her.

"That' why you left right?"

"You would've done the same thing. If it was Katie-"

"Don't! That ain't even remotely the same!" she yelled.

I sighed,

"What was I suppose to do back there Adelyne? What did you want me to do?!" I yelled.

Our voices were echoing off the walls and everyone could probably hear us.

"Not leave you asshole!"

I clenched and unclenched fists trying to control my anger. Adelyne was pushing all my buttons at the moment,

"Adelyne! Stop! I love you!"

"No you don't! If you did you wouldn't have left! YOU DON'T LOVE ME. NOT THE WAY YOU SAID!"

My hands clenched again and this time she noticed.

"Oh are you getting angry Daryl? How do you think I felt for the past few days hmm?" she stepped closer.

"Adelyne-"

"Hmm?" she asked again this time adding a little push on my chest causing me stumble a bit.

"Just stop okay. I'm warning you" I told her.

Adelyne glared and pushed me again a little harder taking a gentle step.

"What are you going to do? You going to hit me? Try it I dare you. Come on do it" she taunted.

I stepped back and out of the cell and she followed walking on her feet gently.

"Stop!"

"Come on coward do it!!" She screamed.

I noticed people starting to stare. I tried to get my anger under control but she was really pushing it.

"Adelyne-"

"Do it!! Come on hit me!!"

"No."

"Do it!" Adelyne yelled.

This time her yelling was followed by pound to my chest. I grunted and it seemed to anger her more and she kept hitting me. I grabbed her wrists and she swung with her other hand and I shoved her hard in the chest causing her to fall back wincing. Immediately Rick ran up followed by Maggie, Beth and Glenn. I looked at her and everyone in disbelief. I couldn't believe I just did that, and on top of that Adelyne was already hurt. Maggie helped her to her feet. Rick grabbed me,

"Walk away Daryl now!"

I tried but I was frozen in shock. I watched Adelyne regain her breath since I had knocked th wind out of her. And Beth helped her to her feet and she used her arm and walked over to me and leaned close to me. Rick held out his arm to stop her from pressing up against me.

"Didn't know you had it in you. Well Daryl Dixon let me say this. We're done, it's over. Stay away from me...forever"

My heart broke.
