We Will Survive Together

Chapter 3: Meeting Him

When I woke up Jacob and Cleo were still asleep. I got dressed in a pair of black ripped jeans, A gray tank top, a black leather jacket and my all black boots. The night before Rick gave me and Jacob a pistol. I grabbed my holster along with the pistol and put it on. I left the tent. It was still kind of dark outside. My mid was so trained to wake up at 6:30 every morning that I just woke up at that exact time. I was walking around because I had nothing else to do. I heard some rustling in the woods. I grabbed my pistol and held it down. If it was one of the dead I didn't want to shoot it and alarm anyone but if it was a person I was going to at least try to threaten them. Sure enough it was a person. The second I saw them I pointed my gun. "Who are you" The man said. If I was being honest he was kind of cute. "I lowered my gun remembering a man was supposed to return today. "I'm Kass. I just got here yesterday with my husband and daughter" I said holstering my weapon. "Hm well I'm Daryl" He said walking past me.

Daryl's Pov:

I was just returning to the camp. I stepped out into the open and a girl who looked to be in her early 20's aimed a gun at me. I have never seen this women before. But she was pretty cute. "Who are you" I asked. I didn't want to aim my crossbow in case she would shoot. "Kass, I just got here yesterday with my husband and daughter" She said. She looked awfully young to be married and already have a kid. "Hm well I'm Daryl" I said as i walked past her. I didn't want to get caught up in my thoughts and do something stupid

Kass's Pov: 

I let him pass. I didn't want to start trouble with one of their group members. I walked back to my tent where Cleo was waking up. "Morning sweetie" I said as i handed her some clothes. "Morning mom. Is it ok if I play with Carl and Sophia today again" She asked as she got dressed. "Yea of course. Just please don't leave the sight of any of the adults weather it be me, dad, Lori, Carol, or whoever, make sure you can always be seen." I said getting her a water. "I will mom don't worry" She said as she left the tent. I let Jacob sleep. I walked out to see Andrea, Jacquie, Lori, Carol, Shane, Rick, Carl, Sophia, and Daryl walking around. Cleo went over to Carl and Sophia to play their little games again. I found a piece of wood and decided to sharpen my knife. Carol came over and sat next to me. "So how you like it so far" Carol said looking over at the kids. "It's nice. It's good that Cleo can be around people again. I mean she saw all her friends get slaughtered so it's a change" I said trying to not sound to upset. "I'm sorry to hear that, Cleo is a good kid, you guys will fit in nicely here." As she said that Daryl walked passed. "Oh have you met Daryl yet". She said looking back at me. I chuckled a little. "Yea we met" I said looking back at the kids. Seeing Cleo happy was the best thing ever. All she ever wished for was a little brother or sister. I think Carl being younger helps. Eventually Jacob walked out out of the tent. "Excuse me" I said as I stood up "Morning babe" I said as I walked over to him. He kissed my forehead. "Why didn't you wake me up" he said slipping his boots on. "Well you looked so peaceful and we haven't got a good night of sleep in a minute so" I said grabbing his hand. Jacob has been my bestfriend since 6th grade. When i was younger I had a very obvious crush on him. 8th grade year he finally made his move and we have been together ever since. I was a really defiant teenager so I made some bad choices. I mean the way I had Cleo was I got drunk at a party and me and Jacob had sex in the bathroom. Honestly it was the best mistake of my life because i had the best child in the world.
