A/N: SMUT

Disclaimer: I don't own the Walking Dead, nor from the WD wikia site, but I do own all my OCs

After planning to go back to Atlanta to rescue Beth, Carol, Keenan and Jewel, we get hugs and story swapping with our friends. Through it all Daryl was trying to get me away from the others, and then he finally gets me alone, just outside the church on a "walk."

"I really missed them," I tell him. Our eyes lock and I see his orbs darkening.

Daryl grunts out an "Uh huh" before pushing me against the side of the church, lifting me slightly to crash his mouth against mine. God, we haven't fucked in two years. I kiss him back urgently and lift my leg to push his hips into mine.

"God, Daryl, fucking take me," I beg him. He lifts me up and we go out in the woods, careful not to go too far and he stops in the middle of the forest. He sets me down and starts undressing. I do the same, setting my weapons in reach as we bore holes into each other's bodies.

When I get down to my underwear and bra I go over to him, kissing him hard and pulling his body into mine. He's still wearing briefs and a sleeveless shirt and I tug on it until he takes it off. Uncomfortable as it is, we lay down on the ground, and he rubs me over my panties and I let out a loud moan at the contact.

"Fuck, I missed that sound," he grunts. Daryl pushes my wireless bra down to expose my breasts, kissing and biting my large mounds. I flip us over so I'm on top, reattaching his lips to mine and grinding down on his hardness. He takes in a breath, thrusting up to meet me. Before I can get his underwear off he flips us back over, kicking away the small piece of clothing left on his body. He leans down to kiss me again, hard, while his hands work of getting my panties off. Finally, he slides in me, filling me up.

"Ohhhh fuck," I moan. He waits a second to just revel in the moment before speeding up his thrusts, pounding into me.

"You're so fucking tight again, Scar. Fuck!" he yells.

"Harder," I groan out. He lifts one of my legs to go around his waist, pounding into me from another angle and then he hits it. "Fuck! Oh my god, right there!"

With my eyes screwed shut I can practically feel the proud smirk on his face. I lift my other leg around his hip and pull him down to me for a steamy kiss. Out hands are everywhere on each other's bodies, touching and feeling everything we couldn't for two years. I feel him twitch inside me and the knot in my belly clenches.

"Fuck, Scarlet," he grunts. "Cum with me!" He quickens his pace, moving his hand down to rub my clit.

"Yes, Daryl!"

Finally we both unravel, our bodies covered in a thin layer of sweat. When Daryl comes down from his high he kisses me softly with love, pulling out and lying next to me in the dirt. After a long content silence he speaks.

"Two years. It's uh, it's been that long for me. Have-"

"No," I answer, already knowing the question. "Couldn't look at anyone that way since you."

He gets up and brushes himself off before getting dressed again. "'m glad," he tells me with a smirk. I follow his lead and we get ourselves put back together.

"You're so fuckin' gorgeous," he tells me, out of nowhere; maybe he was staring as I got dressed. "Even after you lost so much damn weight."

I smile shyly and go over to him, placing my hands on his chest, running them over his built shoulders and down his back. "Thanks. Haven't been this thin since... ever."

"I like ya with a little more meat, honestly," he says, squeezing my sides. "But it ain't yer fault." I smile and kiss him tenderly.

"I love you like nothin' else," I tell him.

He kisses me again. "I love ya too, Scar."

After practically ripping the church apart, I go along with Rick, Daryl, Tyreese, Sasha, Noah, and Sam to Atlanta.

We find a warehouse in Atlanta for a base. Rick plans an attack on the hospital, but Tyree ,,se suggests an alternate plan: kidnap two of Dawn's officers and arrange a prisoner exchange. Noah and Sam explained on the way here that Dawn is the one running the place. Rick is skeptical that the plan will work, but agrees to it after Daryl and I give it support.

At the hospital, Beth listens in as Officer O'Donnell suggests that Dawn pull Carol off life support in order to save resources, that she wasn't as stable as Keenan. Beth protests, but Dawn sides with O'Donnell.

After O'Donnell leaves, Dawn privately instructs Beth to save Carol on her own and gives Beth the key to the drug locker. Jewel watches on and is scared and angry that Beth chose Carol over Keenan.

Then Dawn receives a walkie-talkie dispatch from Officer Shepherd about nearby gunshots and tells Shepherd to investigate with Officer Lamson and Officer Moyers.

Jewel creeps along, following Beth to see that she finds Dr. Edwards and asks what medicine he would administer to Carol. He says five milligrams of epinephrine and Beth runs off, almost catching Jewel in the act of eavesdropping.

When Shepherd, Lamson and Moyers investigate the gunshots they find Sam in an alleyway. As they grab him, our group ambushes and holds them at gunpoint. But then a hospital car with two other officers, Licari and Ford, screeches onto the scene and rescues the officers. We all open fire and chase the officers and, thank God, eventually catch all four.

We brings the officers to the warehouse. Shepherd explains that their hostage plan won't work because Dawn does not consider them valuable on account of their ongoing plot to overthrow her. Lamson and Ford, however, assure Rick the trade will work if they talk to Dawn in the correct manner. Moyers keeps his mouth shut.

"Let me help you," he offers, claiming kinship with Dawn.

Lamson and Ford counsel Rick on negotiating with Dawn, Moyers spurting in information every once in a while. The men explain that Dawn will initially balk at the hostage deal, but will ultimately agree. Rick thanks the cops and offers them some water, which they gratefully take.

I watch on as all this goes on when really, I'm anxious to see Jewel and Keenan. From what Marina told me, Keenan's just getting out of bed for the first time in over a year. He's suffered brain damage but apparently is walking and talking and functioning perfectly fine. Oh, and he's got a broken arm. He's suffered worse, just with the skateboarding career, but in this world losing the primary use of an arm can be fatal.

"C'mon babe," Daryl says as he comes to my side. "We're headin' out. Sasha's stayin' to keep watch."

I nod and follow along with Daryl. God, I really hope this goes well.

Michonne, Marina, Carl and Rose's heads all whip to the door when they hear Gabriel's cries from outside, begging them to let him in. Of course they were surprised, since no one realized he'd even gotten out of the church.

Michonne and Marina start to hack the pieces of wood they'd nailed to the doors while Carl has his gun ready at the door, Rose gripping his leg from behind. The women finally get the door open, letting Gabriel in along with too many walkers. Michonne takes head at slicing the walkers and Carl lets out a full round, but there's still too many.

Gabriel ushers them all into his office, and barricades the door. Carl's rocking Judith in his arms and Marina's hand is held in the iron grip of Rose. Gabriel tells them about the escape hole, telling them to go back there. Just before Michonne goes in, Gabriel still holding the door, her curiosity gets the best of her.

"Where'd you go?" she asks.

Gabriel looks at the ground. "The school. I... I had to see it for myself. Now go, I won't until I know you're all gone."

Michonne nods curtly and heads down in the hole. Gabriel follows, meeting the rest of the bunch outside the church. They go over to the front, where Michonne and Carl help kill the walkers stuck to the stakes near the stairs. Then Michonne closes the door and hold it shut with her belt, stepping back to see the church over ridden with walkers.

It makes me proud in a way, that Daryl is considered one of the most trusted member of the group. He's changed a lot since I last seen 'im; like he's gone from just an adult to this knowledgeable, trustworthy man.

I'm knocked out of my daze when Rick comes back, without Lamson and Ford. Rick reports that he needed to killed Lamson and Ford, and then the group goes to talk to the remaining cops, Licari and Moyers, both of them agree to help Rick get in with minimal violence, saying they'll lie to Dawn and tell her that the cops were taken by walkers. They say Dawn will agree to the trade of two cops for four patients- cops are more valuable to her than the patients we want to rescue.

Marina, Rose, Michonne, Carl and Judith sit with Gabriel outside the church, watching the walkers struggle against the holds on the door. Carl's head turns when he hears a car coming toward the church. Before the walkers can bust through, Abraham's group shows up in a fire truck and drive right into the doors. Michonne tells Maggie that Beth's alive and the others went to get her at Grady are made to Marina, and then the group collectively decides to go get Beth, Keenan and Jewel.

A/N: So there you go! That will be my last chapter that goes along with the show. Next chapter I post will be a whole new story, not just Walking Dead. The chapters will be much shorter but more frequent updates. Please leave revies of some ideas for the future AU story! Thanks guys, hope you like!
