Mercy
“Why are you mad at me? I don’t wanna go, Daryl.”
The blue-eyed boy that Mercy had spent the entirety of her seven years of life looking up to just shuffled from one foot to the next as he took a few steps back from her. His blue eyes were clouded over with something she rarely saw in him; something a seven year old could hardly begin to understand.
“I ain’t mad. I expected this,” he scoffed. “Everybody leaves me, Mercy. My Mama, Merle…I always knew you would, too.”
He didn’t give her a chance to say another word as he turned and sulked back into the rundown house on the middle of Sherman Street. Mercy didn’t know it yet but as she watched him climb those front steps and turn to face her one last time, the shadow of a smile on his face as he opened the front door to walk inside, she felt her heart break.
That was the day Mercy Carlin fell in love with Daryl Dixon.
