                                          Hayden POV 


I was up in a tree when I heard walking, I'm out of arrows so snapping it's neck is the only way, or using my knife, as soon as it got close since I couldn't see since its fairly dark out, 

Finally I jumped out of the tree pouncing about to stab it, 

"Hayden, Hayden! relax it's me," Daryl said 

I slowly got off of him, 

"Are yer hurt?" He asked looking me over, 

"I'm fine not my first scrape with the dead," I said 

"Yer sure no scratches nor bites?" He asked checking, 

"I told you I'm fine," I said 

He nodded, 

"Thank god," He said hugging me, I tensed due to my parents, 

"What's got you all bent out of shape, I'm not your kid," I said 

"Yeah, well someone's got to look out for ya," He said 

"Lets go," He said picking up his bow, 


                                  Time Skip, 


It was the next morning, 


I'm standing next to Daryl


"Y'all can't be serious. Let that girl hamstring us? The dead girl's a time bomb." Daryl said 

I nodded 

"What do you suggest?" Rick said  

" Take the shot. Clean, in the brain from here. Hell, I can hit a turkey between the eyes from this distance." Daryl said  

"No. For God's sakes, let her be." Lori said 

"Yeah, right let the girl who got bit stay like that until someone else gets bit because of it smart plan," I said 

Lori glared at me, I glared harder at her that she looked away, what can I say I don't back down from a fight,

"Come on Hayden" Daryl said 

I nodded following him, 

"Wake up, Jimbo. We've got some work to do." Daryl said  

Morales and Daryl and Me drag the body of a dead camper toward the fire. 

"Thanks. Thanks" Morales said . 

"What are you guys doing? This is for geeks. Our people go over there." Glenn said 

"What's the difference? They're all infected." Daryl said 

" Our people go in that row over there. We don't burn them! We bury them. Understand? Our people go in that row over there." Glenn said 

I just rolled my eyes, 

 Daryl and Morales and Me,  drag the body toward the digging hole. 

"You reap what you sow." Daryl said  

"You know what? Shut up, man." Morales said  

"Y'all left my brother for dead. You had this coming. " Daryl said
