A Merle, and Carol short story..... I am officially addicted... lol
A side of Merle no one really knew existed.
Merle couldn't sleep he hated when he got a night off from watching the camp while others slept only to have trouble falling asleep. He got up to go get some water, and noticed Glenn, and Dale talking by the fire, and he sure hoped they were alert, and not letting their guard down because Walkers sneak up on you, and if you are not alert you die. He decided he would not say anything he would just keep a eye out himself. He walked past Carol's and Ed's tent when Carol came out , and she was startled seeing him right outside the tent.
"You can't sleep either"? Merle said but Carol had other reasons she just had another fight with Ed. She should say Ed had a problem with her because she didn't talk to him while they ate dinner. He waited all night to show her how much it bothered him. She was so glad that Sophia was sleeping with Amy, and Andrea tonight they were going to braid her hair, and Sophia loved the attention. Carol was glad she didn't see the abuse but she has in the past but when she is not around it is so much worse but Carol would take any abuse over knowing her Daughter was close to witness it.
"Fine don't answer me" Merle said walking away but Carol whispered.
"I am sorry for being rude, I am just tired but I needed some air"
"I was going to get some water want some"?
'Sure I would rather wine but water will do"
"I have some whiskey hidden would you like a glass, I don't even share with my little Brother"
"Why"?
"Because I am selfish, and I don't like to share but I would for a pretty lady"
"Well Andrea is sleeping so you are out of luck"
"Why do you do that put yourself down"?
"I don't I guess I hear it enough from Ed, I believe it"
"Did that Jerk of a husband hurt you again"?
"Can I have some of that whiskey maybe it will help me sleep, and help with the pain"
"Carol do you want me to go talk to Ed"?
"No he is asleep please don't he will kill me"
"God you are shaking come on lets go get that whiskey" Carol followed him but she felt a little uneasy because she knew Merle was crude, and rude but he was being kind, and she needed a little kindness but if Ed woke up he would kill her for sure. Merle opened his tent, and told her to go in he would grab a couple of glasses. She went in, and sat down as Merle went to grab the glasses. Carol looked around , and Merle's tent was very tidy, and she saw a picture by a little hand made table she lifted it up, and smiled. It had to be a photo of Daryl and Merle when they were teens. They both looked so cute, she touched Daryl's face , and thought he was one of the sexiest men she has ever set her eyes on. She even thought Merle was sexy but they both were bad boys , and she should not have thoughts of them but she did making her smile. Merle came in, and closed the tent as Carol smiled as he grabbed the whiskey, and poured them both a glass, and handed it to her.
"Thank you"
"No problem but it is strong so go slow "
Carol smiled as she took a sip but she started to cough making Merle laugh, and she couldn't help but laugh too.

Chapter 2
Carol smiled , "Merle this is going to help me sleep, but I hope I can walk when I get up"
"Oh drink up you will be fine beside your slug is sleeping , and probably will not wake up until the morning"
"Slug that is him he is so lazy he does nothing around here, I have to do his share of work so others don't talk"
"They talk Mouse you don't hear it"
'Don't call me mouse it hurts"
"You are a itty bitty thing , and your scared of your own shadow like a mouse, I didn't mean nothing about it"
'I am not afraid of my shadow, I am afraid of my Husband shadow. I am a fool but I have no choice but to do what he says, I can't get a divorce , and I have to make it work for my Daughter"
"God girl your daughter doesn't need you to work out nothing she needs to see her Mom treated right."
"I know that what am I suppose to do"?
"Stand up to him, and tell him you will not take his crap easy at that"
"I have I got a dislocated shoulder 3 times for standing up to myself. I am not that strong, maybe being here is wrong, I should go back in case he wakes up"
"No stay this is nice, I will stop harassing you about that turd"
Carol laughed, "I can't believe I am saying this Merle but you do have a heart, and I know you are right but at this moment can you not give me a lecture, I just need a friend"
"Ok let me top up that drink"
"Oh Merle I shouldn't" Merle filled up her cup, and she smiled as she took another drink as he raised his glass, and took a sip.
They were drinking and talking Carol laid back on his sleeping blanket as she whispered.
"I think I am drunk, and it feels kind of nice it is like I'm numb"
Merle sat beside her, and said, "Carol lets play a game of truth, and what we say here no one will ever know about that is a promise"
"Truth what do we have to do"?
"I ask you a question, and you tell nothing but the truth, and you ask me question, and I do the same"
Carol sat up, "Ok but you promise no one will know about our slumber party tonight"
"Cross my heart" Merle said as Carol said, "I know you have one so that is a promise I hope you keep"
Merle smiled, "I want to go first, and no question is off limits"
"Ok"
"Have you ever been happy"?
"What a weird question but I was happy when I gave birth to Sophia, and for two months Ed was happy, and he gave me flowers, and helped out. I thought Sophia was more than a miracle she changed Ed, but it only lasted two months, and my life went back to the Hell I was living before she was born. I guess it is my own fault my Mom , and Dad told me not to marry him but I thought I was in love but I guess I was just a fool"
Merle just stared at her Carol wiped a tear, and smiled, "Now I get to ask you one"
"Yes your turn"
"Merle I see how you look at Andrea do you like her"?
"Andrea has a mouth on her but I bet she would be fun in bed so to the answer to your question, I would share spit with her"
"Oh my God Merle that is to much information"
"You want to know if I wanted to have sex with Andrea, and I told you hell yes I would"
"I knew you liked her I am great at seeing who has great chemistry together. I think Merle if you wash that mouth of yours out, and talk to Andrea like the lady she is maybe there will be a love connection"
"Mouse are you trying to be a matchmaker"?
Carol smiled as Merle whispered, "My turn are you ready"?
"Yeah I think"
"Do you have naughty thoughts about my little Bro Daryl, I see you check him out every time he is anywhere near you"
Carol was shocked her mouth opened in shock as Merle smiled, and said. "Truth remember have you ever had a naughty dream or thought about Daryl"?

Chapter 3
Carol felt ashamed she was a married woman, and a Mother but she would be lying if she said she has not thought about Daryl on more than one occasion.
'Carol this is between us this is the Truth game are you going to lie to me Girl"
"No, please do not tell Daryl but yes I have thought about him in ways that are not right. I know I am a wife, and a Mother but I am human, and he is sexy, and he scares me at times but I have wondered how he would kiss a lady or how he would talk to someone he cares about"
"No talking the Dixon Brothers show a girl what we like in bed, and they love it"
"Oh God Merle you are bad sometimes why are you showing off , I just saw how sweet you can be bringing me in here to talk"
"Maybe I thought the lonely little mouse would like some loving from a real man"
Carol put her drink down, and went to get up but Merle sat her back down, and said.
"Sorry that is rude but don't call me sweet that is Dale not me"
"Dale is sweet why wouldn't you want to be like him"?
"Why you don't like me Carol"?
"This was a mistake I never should have come in here, and if Ed found me I would pay, and I don't need that"
"Awe the game is just starting lets play a little longer"
Carol smiled, "Fine what made you be so mean, and scary"?
"Easy my Dad he use to beat me, and my Little Bro, and sister everyday, and most days I took their beatings so yes I am mean, and scary, and angry, and I will never let anyone close enough to hurt me again"
"I am so sorry we have a lot in common"
"Hell we do Carol you could walk away from that Guy but you stay why"?
"I have no where to go , and I stayed for my little girl. I don't need you to judge me, I have people judging me everyday , I don't need you Judging me too"
" Stop being a scared mouse, and tell the bum you are not going to take it anymore"
"Right I will go in there now, and tell him if you hear him beating me will you come in to protect me or will you turn over, and pretend you don't hear it"?
"I don't turn my back on anything if you want me to go in there now, and give him a lesson he will never forget, I will go now"
"No I don't want that"
"Carol was he ever good to you"?
"Yes before my wedding he treated me good, but after the wedding it all changed. The first hit he promised me it would never happen again, but it did over, and over again. I slowly became dead inside, and it didn't hurt anymore even when he broke my bones, and shoulders. I would wake up everyday , and put on a happy face for my sweet girl but I could see she knew what was going on, but I would do everything in my power to make her life as normal as possible, but I was a failure Merle" She started to cry as Merle touched her shoulder but he was shocked when she went into his arms, and he struggled to do the right thing but he hugged her back as she cried in his arms.

Great update Jessie. I feel horrible for Carol in this story because she is married to Ed the creep that abuses her. I am so glad that she has Merle to lean on in your story. I hope that Merle goes and talks to Ed on Carol's behalf and he tells Ed to stay away from her. I also hope and pray that Carol and Daryl end up together in your story because they are perfect for one another. I hope you update this awesome Carol and Merle story you are writing again really really soon. I love reading and commenting on all of your awesome Walking Dead stories you are writing and posting on my message board.

Chapter 4
Merle hated seeing women cry he never knew what to do but something about Carol made him feel he had to comfort her. He had to laugh to himself any women in his arms would be undressed, and making love by now.
"Meryl I am so sorry, I don't know what got into me crying like a big baby".
"No problem but can we have another drink, and talk about anything other than your husband"
"I would like that". Merle reached over grabbing the bottle, and he poured them both a drink, and they sat smiling at each other as they drank. They did talk some more, and they mostly talked about Daryl, and Sophia, and movie's Carol liked. Merle had no use for movie or TV but listening to Carol talk about some guy named Doug Ross from E.R made him laugh because Carol sure loved this George Clooney guy.
"I must be boring you Merle but I miss a lot of stuff but I miss my TV shows. I would watch, and for a little while at least my problems went away as I became invested in their lives"
"They are not real Carol"
"I know I am not stupid Merle"
"I know that I just don't get why people think Actors are all that they are just like us. They make mistakes they screw up, and they take a "
"Stop I don't need you to say anymore, I know my life is pathetic Merle"
"Carol just because we are living in this Zombie World, and there is no Lawyers around you can kick the bum to the curb or I can kill him for you remember I am heartless your words remember"
"I am sorry I said that to you but you were being rude to Daryl, and Rick, and I was angry"
Merle smiled, "You are right I am pretty heartless"
"You want people to think that but I know the truth "
"What that I brought you in here to get you drunk, and take advantage of you"
"I don't believe you because you have been nothing but a gentlemen"
"Say that again, and I will have to kill you"
Carol started to laugh but Merle put his finger to her lips, and told her to be quiet because her idiot husband might come running in here, and get the wrong idea.
Carol must have had a little to much to drink because she couldn't stop giggling, and Merle got a little worried. He could careless what people thought of him but he didn't want the Group to get the wrong idea about her. She was a lady , and he did care what happened to her, and it actually scared him. He cared about his Little Brother but no one else , and wanting to protect Carol was new to him. Carol laid back on his sleeping blanket, and smiled but it was seconds , and she shut her eyes, and fell asleep. Merle smiled, and he was about to wake her but he thought letting her sleep for a little while wouldn't hurt. He laid beside her watching her sleep when he shut his eyes, and fell asleep too.

Cute update Jessie. :)Merle and Daryl are so cute and adorable together in this chapter talking about their favorite things. I love the Carol was talking about being in love with George Clooney aka Doug Ross from ER. I happen to agree with Carol that George Clooney is hot. I would love to find George Clooney underneath my Christmas tree on Christmas along with Eric from As the World Turns. I hope and pray that Carol dumps her abusive husband Ed and that she and Daryl get together in your awesome Walking Dead story you are writing and posting on my awesome message board. I hope you update this awesome story again really soon. I love reading and commenting on all of your awesome stories and one shots you are writing and posting on my message board.

I love this I really do. I'm rewatching season3 and forgot how mean and cruel Merle was, especially when he took Glenn and Maggie hostage and beat up Glenn really bad. It made me sick. But then other episodes he flat out made me laugh with some of the ignorant stuff he said. I miss Merle!
Anyways I do believe deep down he cares for Daryl. I hope he would care enough to want him to be happy for him and to see that Carol really does love him.

Chapter 5
The next morning Carol woke up when she heard Ed yelling out her name. She turned , and saw Merle laying right behind her, and she jumped up waking Merle. They both are a little hung over but hearing Ed yelling was freaking Carol out.
Merle touched her arm, and whispered, "You stay in here, and be quiet, and I will handle this"
"He is going to kill me"
"Listen to me stay in here, and everything will be ok"
Carol was shaking but she said she would stay in the tent. He got up , and walked to the zipper, and undid it, and walked out of the tent, and yelled out to Ed.
"Dear God do you want every walker 1 mile from this campsite to come here, and kill us all you fool"
"Shut up my wife is missing"
"She probably went for a walk or to take a pee so calm down"
"I am going to kill her"
By this time everyone else was coming out of their tents. Sophia ran over, and asked her Daddy where her Mom was. He was to busy fighting with Merle, and looking around to even care that he had his little girl frantic, and Lori came over, and told her everything would be ok. She took Sophia, and Carl back into hers and Rick's tent.
Shane, Dale, and Rick said they would got look for her. Daryl and Glenn said they would go looking in the other direction that Shane, Dale and Rick were going. Amy and Andrea thought maybe she went to clean some clothes on her own, and they were walking to the pond. Merle started to walk in another direction while Ed started to run following Andrea, and Amy because it sounded logic that Carol would go off on her own to clean clothes for the others. She does more for the group than for him. He was going to make her realize who was in charge, and things were about to change. He was not going to put up with her crap anymore, and she was going to do her wifely duties, and he was not going to listen to any more of her excuses. He beat her, and forced himself on her because she made him because she would not do what she was told but that changes today. Andrea, and Amy saw Ed coming up behind them, and they prayed Carol was not at the pond because they knew Ed would hurt her, and they really wished one of the men were with them to stop it.
Merle came back making sure everything was safe. He opened the tent, and told Carol to come out. He grabbed her arm, and he was pulling her in the opposite direction everyone else went. He finally stopped, and turned to her.
"Listen to me you were out looking for wood for the fire so you could start breakfast."
"Wood"
"Yes we need wood we don't have much, and you went out looking for it."
Merle was looking for wood, and Carol was standing there, and Merle whispered.
"Mouse grab some wood "
"Don't call me mouse"
"Fine Carol grab some wood or your story will not be so realistic" Carol grabbed a bunch, and Merle walked over putting more in her arms making her stare at him.
"I am taking you back, and if I say some cruel things it is only to make it realistic"
"Why do you have to be cruel"?
"Carol come on, and follow my lead". She was walking back, Merle could see Daryl, Rick, and Glenn in the distance, and he grabbed Carol's arm pulling her toward the campsite, and started to yell at her.
"You stupid woman what were you thinking going out there all alone". Rick, Daryl, Glenn, Shane, and Dale came over, and they were relieved to see Carol. Merle turned to them saying he found her collecting wood for the campfire for breakfast.
"Carol you were told how many times you never go out there alone" Rick said
"I'm sorry". Carol felt tears coming to her eyes everything was so overwhelming. She saw Andrea, Amy and Ed come up, and Ed looked so angry Carol froze thinking he wouldn't hit her in front of all these people it is always when they were alone. She put the wood down, and she walked over to Ed.
"I am so sorry Merle said you were afraid when you woke up, and found me missing. I couldn't sleep, and I thought I would make breakfast for everyone but we didn't have enough wood so I went looking for some. I never meant to upset anyone"
Ed was so angry he slapped Carol shocking her but the others were in shock but it was Merle who walked over grabbing Ed's arm, and twisted it. You could hear the sound of his arm breaking which made Carol scream but Merle whispered to Ed.
"You ever hurt your Wife again, I will kill you". He stared at Carol than he walked to his tent as Carol, and the other look at Ed who was holding back tears but it was obvious Merle broke his arm.

Great update Jessie. I love how protective Merle is of Carol in the chapter. Ed should be ashamed of himself for slapping Carol in front of everyone. I am glad that Merle broke Ed's arm for slapping Carol. I hope that Carol gets away from Ed before it is too late. I hope you update this story again really soon.

Chapter 6
Ed was in so much pain , Carol was shaking, and all she could think was she was happy he was hurting because it was payback for all the nights, and days she suffered at his hands. Dale, and Rick walked over to Ed , and Dale said, " they would have to set Ed's arm it was obviously broken"
"You are going to let that Redneck get away with this he is crazy"
Daryl walked over, "You are the crazy one fool you deserve worse"
"Yeah you would think what Merle did is right you both are scum"
"Shut up Ed you are the evil one, if anyone should be told to leave it is you. Let Dale and Rick help you, and stop being a baby. You broke my arm, and pulled my shoulder out of its socket more times than I can remember, and I did not act like a big baby like you are. I am so tired of you Ed, and I will never let you touch me again, it is over"
"What is over you are my wife"?
"My biggest mistake in life was marrying you, the only good thing that ever came out of our lousy marriage is Sophia, and I am not going to let you ruin her life like you ruined mine"
"Get in the tent you are making a scene , and I don't need everyone to see how disgusting my wife is"
"I am not going anywhere with you" Rick grabbed Ed's good arm, and said, "Come on no more fighting she needs her space"
Ed was in to much pain to do anything else so he followed Rick, and Dale into his tent. The others were looking at Carol she turned to them, and said.
"I am sorry for this scene, I didn't want to cause all this trouble"
Andrea smiled, "I am just glad you are ok, you can room with me, and Amy if you want"
"I don't know yet but thank you for offering" Amy gave her a hug, and said, "Me and Andrea are going to start breakfast you need to eat"
"Thanks"
Glenn smiled but he walked behind Andrea, and Amy he was starving. Carol walked over to Daryl, and he was staring at her.
"I am sorry I know you are angry but what your Brother did for me was so sweet no one ever stood up for me like that"
"Why do you stay with that fool"?
"I honestly can say I don't know maybe because of Sophia"
"That is a load of crap Sophia doesn't need to see her Mama beaten everyday"
"I know that please don't yell at me"
"You can have my tent for now I will room with Merle if you want"
"You would give up your Tent for me" Carol said but she smiled as Daryl said.
"I said for now"
"Thanks maybe I should go see how Merle is doing" Carol said
"You better not he is not in a friendly mood you just saw that"
"But he did that for me"
"Maybe or he just saw our Dad in Ed not quite sure what happened just now with Merle"
"He is tough but he is not all that bad"
"Maybe that smack gave you brain damage" Daryl said making Carol smile
"Ed was wrong about you both, thank you for offering me your tent. If you really meant that offer, I will take you up on it"
"Fine I will get my things, I hope Merle will let me room with him normally he only lets his one night stands spend the night"
Carol blushed but she smiled as Daryl walked to his tent as Carol turned , and decided to see if Merle was ok.

Great update Jessie. I love how protective Daryl and Merle both are of Carol in this chapter. I am personally glad that Ed is in a lot of pain because of all the pain and suffering he has put Carol through during the time they have been married to each other. I hope that Sophia and Carol both get away from Ed before it is too late. I hope you update this awesome story again really soon.
