A bond they can't fight anymore

[jessie]

"I Ain't a Judas" Extended scene. The scene where Carol went to Daryl in a cell, and told him how happy she was he came back. I wish it was longer so I extended it. Melinda I am sure the scene was in "I Ain't a Judas". If not let me know.

A Bond they can't fight anymore

Carol was sitting alone on her cot she wanted to go to Daryl, she was devastated when he left to be with Merle. She got up, and decided to go to him, and she hoped he didn't lash out at her. She walked to his cell , and she smiled as she stood in the doorway as Daryl smiled back at her.

"Daryl I knew I should have come earlier to say how happy I am you came back"

Daryl smiled, "Well Rick didn't want Merle, I couldn't leave him alone he is my Brother"

"Yes he is your Brother but don't let him pull you down you have come so far"

"You mean you tamed me"

"Not me you did it on your own, I owe you so much"

"You don't owe me anything Carol"

"You are wrong what you did for Sophia I will never forget"

Daryl got up, "I didn't save Sophia so don't say you owe me. I wanted to bring her home, and I didn't succeed so how could you thank me"

"Daryl you cared for my baby girl, and you went out everyday trying to find her. I know she is gone, and I miss her so much, but I know she is safe in God's arms now"

"No don't say that she should be here with us. She depended on us, and we all let her down"

"You never let her down I did"

"No you were a wonderful Mother she was a great kid very polite, and sweet just like her Mama"

"She was sweet Daryl but she saw a lot in her young age"

"That is not your fault we couldn't shelter her from the walkers and all the death"

"I'm talking about seeing her Mom let her Daddy beat me in front of her. He never hurt Sophia but I should have been brave enough to walk away but I couldn't"

"He is gone now he can't hurt you anymore"

"No he is dead I pray he is not with Sophia"

"My bet Lori is taking care of her for you or Dale"

"You think so Daryl"

"Yes you are taking care of Judith Lori would want to thank you by taking care of Sophia until you can see her again"

"Daryl you are the strongest man I have ever met, but you have a heart of Gold don't hide it from others"

"Carol if I tell you something promise it will be our secret"

"Of course"

"I'm scared not for myself but for you, and the others. You all are family, I never ever want the others to know that is how I feel, but I would do anything for you all. I need you in my life Carol you made me human, I owe you that"

"You are human Daryl you are afraid to let people in, but I know who you are"

"What am I"?

"You are my Hero you are what every girl grew up dreaming about. You are amazing, and so darn cute if I can say that without you freaking out"

"Oh you like a guy with Tattoos"?

"Oh yes". Carol moved close , and they were staring at each other when Rick walked in, and asked Daryl to come with him he needed him.

Carol turned, "Rick we were talking"

"Carol you can talk to him later I need him". Daryl smiled, "I will talk to you later I will come find you'

"OK". Daryl walked out of the cell Rick stared at Carol.

"What"?

'Carol what are you doing"?

"Nothing we were talking"

"Be careful Carol you have been hurt enough"

"Daryl would never hurt me Rick" Carol walked out, and Rick followed her but he walked over to Daryl.

"Daryl don't hurt her"

"Rick what do you want"?

"Meryl is freaking out he doesn't feel like he should be locked up, but I'm sorry I don't trust him"

"Rick he saved you, we both did give him a chance to make this right"

"He can't be trusted I'm sorry Daryl"

Daryl walked away, and Rick followed knowing Daryl was going to have to calm Meryl down or he would have to ask Meryl to leave.

Chapter 2

Daryl walked up to the cell Merle was locked up in. Meryl was angry, and Daryl knew he was not going to tolerate being locked up like a animal. Daryl had to admit to himself he didn't blame Rick for not trusting him, but Merle was his brother, and he hated seeing him so upset.

"Merle Rick said you are freaking out, I need you to stay calm"

"Little Brother get me out of this tin cell or I will beat the crap out of you first, than Rick"

"Shut up Merle, and listen if you can shut your mouth for a minute"

"You are lucky I am in here Daryl"

Daryl couldn't help but laugh as he walked over grabbing a seat, and sat outside the cell, and Merle glared at him.

"You are going to sit there, and let Rick treat me this way. You act like you were angry they left me on the roof, and I had to chop off my hand to get free. I thought you would have loyalties to me not that wannabe Cop"

"Keep talking like that Merle, and you will be locked in there forever, and Rick will throw away the key"

Carol came up the stairs, and Daryl was a little upset because Merle was in a fowl mood, and he didn't want Merle to treat her badly. Daryl got up, and ran over telling Carol to go back downstairs he needed some time with his brother"

"I was just bringing him something to eat, and drink Daryl"

"I will give it to him"

Carol smiled, "Don't be silly, I will hand it to him". Carol walked over to the cell, and handed Merle some water, and a plate of beans. Merle was about to say something but Daryl was glaring, and Merle decided to be civil well as civil as he can be.

"Beans and Water prison food yum"

"Well that is what we had for lunch, Daryl has to go out, and get us some meat if he can"

"Well I can help Daryl". Merle said

Carol smiled, "I don't have the key for this cell only Rick does, and he is stubborn so play nice, and maybe you will be released someday"

"God I would rather be up on that roof with the Walkers"

Daryl walked over, and touched Carol's shoulder, and she told him she would leave them alone. She walked downstairs, and Merle sat on the cot in the cell, and started to laugh while he started eating the beans.

"What are you laughing at  now Merle"?

"You like Mouse I knew it"

"What"?

"You want Mouse it is written all over your face".

"Merle don't cause trouble, I don't want to see you thrown off this land because if Rick, and the others tell you to leave , I am not going with you"

"You would choose them over family"

"Yes because I am asking you to lay low for a while, and maybe Rick will let you help out around here"

"Whatever go out , and bring us something good to eat. I know eating this crap, I will be in trouble, and so will everyone else that has to sleep near my cell"

"You are so gross Merle, I will see you later". Daryl walked down the stairs, and Merle leaned his head against the wall. He hated being locked in, but for Daryl he would try  not to lose it, but he knew it was going to be hard because he is normally the one making the rules, not having to live by someone else's especially Rick Grimes.

Chapter 3

Daryl walked outside carrying his bag, and his crossbow, and Rick walked over to him.

"You going hunting would you like Michonne or Glenn to go with you"?

"No I can go out alone, but Rick I need to talk about Merle"

"I am not letting him out of the cell maybe once a day he can go out for air but right now I don't trust him. He hurt Maggie, and Glenn, and for that we should not even allow him in this prison"

"I know everyone hates him but he is my Brother. He has done a lot of bad things but keeping him locked up in that cell is a waste. He can help out around here, I know it is a lot to ask but can you give him another chance"?

"I don't know I will have to discuss it with the others. I know he is your Brother Daryl but Merle is not good people, and I know that hurts you"

Daryl just turned, and walked away, Michonne, and Carl opened the gate while Daryl left driving his motorcycle out of the prison. Carol walked up behind Rick, and touched his back making Rick turn, and look at her.

"Carol is something wrong"?

"I heard what you said to Daryl, and I agree Merle is nothing like Daryl, but maybe giving him another chance wouldn't hurt"

"Hell Carol are you taking Merle's side what is up with that"?

"I am just saying Merle loves Daryl, and I really don't think he would hurt any of us. If he screws up we can ask him to leave. I know he hurt Maggie and Glenn, and I hate that. I am thinking of Daryl it hurts him seeing his brother locked up, but I know Daryl he would be the first one to ask Merle to leave if he starts anything"

"Carol this is not your concern, I will make the decision when I am ready to". Rick walked away, and Carol for the first time in a long time hated Rick for treating her like her say meant nothing. She walked inside, and went to her cell, and sat on the bed, and grabbed the pillow, and punched it wishing it was Rick's face because right this moment she had no respect for him.
