Chapter 16
Captive
She knew he was going to react badly. Perhaps that was why she left it to the last moment to tell him. She moved into their room, seeing him sling his bow onto his back. Strapping a knife to his side and holstering his gun, he turned surprised to see her doing the same.
“Is there a reason you look like you going somewhere?” he asked her confused.
“I’m going on the trip,” she replied strapping her knife to her thigh.
“Ah no you’re not,” he huffed moving to stand in front of her.
“The women and children need proper shoes for their lesson and Glenn mentioned on your last trip that there was a music shop in town that had instruments and dance equipment.”
“Yeah so write me a list and I’ll pick it all up.” She sighed looking up at him.
“Daryl, dancing is painful enough, especially ballet but with the wrong fitting shoe it can be pure torture, I mean you have seen my feet some nights, swollen, split and covered in blisters.”
“So write down their sizes, I may not be a dance teacher but I can pick out shoe sizes I know I need to get,” he replied gruffly.
“It’s not that simple, ballet shoes aren’t sized like normal shoes… it would be easier if I just came along, I know what I’m looking for, you don’t, besides I’m trained, armed and I have you guys watching my back, I’ll be fine.”
“Forget about it, you’re not going… they will just have to deal with what I grab,” he replied. She felt annoyance burn through her, she knew he was just being protective but she felt like he was barking orders at her and while there was once a time she would have done what she was told, that time had been and gone.
“I’m not twelve years old Daryl, I’m not asking for your permission,” she snapped crossing her arms across her chest. “I have already talked to Rick about it and he said he was fine with me tagging along.”
“Don’t I get a bloody say in this?” he snapped.
“No,” she replied simply turning and leaving the room and Daryl stunned.
Once Carol had kissed Sophia goodbye, they had headed out. Rick and Glenn were together in one car while Carol and Daryl were in the other. They had been on the road for almost an hour and Daryl had yet to say a single word to her. She could tell he was angry so she decided not to push it and just stay silent. Once they pulled up, they stepped out taking out a small group of walkers.
“Stay with Glenn woman,” he snapped at her before moving away with Rick.
“Hey,” she called out and he turned facing her. She walked up planting a soft kiss on his lips. “I love you.” He sighed knowing he couldn’t stay mad at her.
“I love you too, just be careful please?,” his voice begging her.
“I promise,” she smiled turning and disappearing into the music store with Glenn.
Fifteen minutes later, Carol came out of the store, tossing a bag full of shoes and music into the back of the car. Shutting the door, she was about to turn to go back in and help Glenn with the rest when she noticed about ten men staring at her.
“Well what do we have here?” She heard one of the men say. She moved to grab her bow off her back but before she could someone hit her from behind and her world turned black.
She didn’t know how long she had been out, all she knew was that her head was pounding and she could feel wetness on the back of her neck that could only be blood, her blood. She could hear arguing, she strained to open her eyes and to get them to focus once she did. She could see Daryl and Rick with their weapons drawn on the men that held her up and stood near her. She struggled trying to get free but it was useless.
“Daryl,” she called before she could stop herself, she hated the panicked tone of her voice.
“Carol it’s going to be okay,” he spoke trying to reassure her.
“Of course it is going to be okay, Carol is it?” the man spoke coming to stand behind her. Wrapping his arm around her neck he pulled her flushed against him. “You’re coming home with me and these men can go and no one gets hurt,” he sneered in her ear. She felt cold shivers run down her spine at his words.
“Like hell!” Daryl hissed.
“She your woman?” the man asked. “She is a pretty little thing, firm in all the right places,” he leered grabbing a handful of her breast. She turned her head unable to look at Daryl as the man grabbed at her.
“Get your fucking hands off her!” Daryl yelled but the man just laughed.
“What are you going to do boy? You have the two of you and the little Asian boy inside… yes we do know he is there… I have men all over this town.” One of his men run up to him.
“There is a group of walkers nearby sir, they should just pass us by but I thought you should be informed,” he informed him.
“Perfect,” the man smiled. “Do you hear that boys, a large group of walkers nearby, my men believe they should just pass us by without even knowing we are here but it would be a shame if someone was to alert them of our presence.”
“You wouldn’t,” Rick spoke. “They would kill you too.”
“As I said, I have men all over this town and a means of escape, you on the other hand are outnumbered, out-gunned and would no doubt all die should the walkers come across you all, including the woman,” he laughed clearly proud of himself. “So what will it be boys? I take the woman and you all live to fight another day or you all die a bloody death of being ripped apart by walkers including the woman, no doubt leaving the large group I’m sure you’re part of without their men to protect them… how long do you think they will survive without you?” Carol felt red hot panic hit her. All she could think of was Sophia; he was right, without Daryl and Rick it was only a matter of time before they all die one way or another.
“You’re not taking her anywhere,” Daryl hissed.
“Very well,” the man replied raising his gun no doubt to fire a shot.
“No wait!” Carol yelled panicked. “Please, I’ll go with you just don’t alert the herd,” she begged.
“The herd? I like that,” he smiled. “You promise to come trouble free?”
“Yes.”
“You’re not going bloody anywhere woman,” Daryl yelled.
“Daryl please, you have to take care of Sophia, without you she doesn’t stand a chance please, I’ll be alright,” she cried tears streaming down her face.
“Get in the car,” the man ordered pushing her into the car but Daryl just couldn’t let them drive off with the woman he loved. Firing the bow, he killed one of the men.
Gun shots rang out, Glenn took out two more of the men from his position on top of the shops but it was no use, they were outnumbered. They dived behind their cars to avoid getting shot as the cars drove away. They stood about to jump into the cars and make chase but there were walkers everywhere.
“Come on,” Rick yelled pulling Daryl towards the shop where Glenn was. “We are no good to her dead.” Running inside, they locked the doors moving to get out of sight and just hoping the walkers hadn’t seen them.
Twenty minutes passed and it felt like hours for Daryl; the herd was passing them by slowly, it was clear they hadn’t noticed them. They had moved their way to a back room barricading the door and hoping to wait out the herd.
“I just let them take her,” Daryl sighed, a mixture of fear and sadness just about choking him up as he looked at the ground.
“You didn’t just let them take her, you did everything you could,” Rick tried to reassure him.
“Not enough though and god knows where they’re taking her. I could have tried to track their car tracks but with the herd blowing through town, chances are the tracks are destroyed… how the hell am I going to find her?” He felt tears burn his eyes at the thought that he had lost her.
“With this,” Glenn spoke handing them a little hand held device.
“What the hell is this?” Daryl asked looking at it.
“It’s a tracking receiver,” Rick piped up. “Where did you find this?”
*Flashback*
Ten minutes before Carol was taken.
Carol moved, filling the bag with the right size shoes, leg warmers, tights, all they would need to be as comfortable as possible during lessons. She had a few bags of things at her feet and she was just about ready to start carrying them out when Glenn came to stop beside her.
“Look what I found,” he said handing her a little black disc with a small red button in it.
“What is it?” she asked confused.
“A tracker, I found three of them with the receiver in the office out the back,” he replied showing her.
“I wonder why they would have something like this.”
“Don’t know but if they work, we could take them on trips like this so if we get separated we can always find each other.” She nodded running her thumb across the red button hearing it beep as a light on the receiver screen started to flash.
“Huh it works,” Glenn smiled.
“It’s a good find,” she smiled, slipping the tracker into her back pocket and continuing on her task at hand.
*End of flashback*
“So she put the tracker in her pocket?” Daryl confirmed.
“Yeah that is her there,” he replied pointing at the flashing red light on the receiver.
“There’ve stopped, that’s really not that far from here,” Rick said.
“Good, we’ll wait out the herd, then we are going after her and I don’t care what we have to do. I’m not leaving that camp without my woman,” Daryl said determined. They all nodded agreeing and Glenn knew just the store to check out before they left to make sure they had a fighting chance.
Carol could feel panic taking hold, she was trying to stay calm but failing. Once they had stopped, she had been dragged from the car and dumped in a small room alone. She was there for about five minutes before she heard someone walk into the room. Turning to face her kidnapper, who she had since learned went by the name the Governor, he leered at her before he spoke.
“You have a visitor my dear.” She looked confused before he stepped aside.
“Hello wife.” She saw Ed smirk, she felt sick he was alive but worse he was here, things had just gone from bad to much, much worse.
