I had been what you could call neighbours with the Dixon's for a month now.

We lived a good 10 minute walk away but this area was just woods. And that's why I wanted the small house. I loved the woods and to be away from everyone and know I was a good 15 minute drive from the town.

Don't get me wrong I'm a sociable person but I also love being with nature and away from the bustling streets and noise, here it was just me and the woods, fields and well, the Dixon's.

I had only bumped into them a few times, none of them on great terms.

I was a fitness instructor and fanatic and I jog 3 times a week through the woods at the back of my house, I always run in a straight line so I never got lost, I just had to turn around to get back home.

I met Merle first at only my third day here. I was getting my post when he drove up on his motorbike, he stopped and tried chatting me up, when I told him to sling his hook he got mouthy with me and rode off, guess the guy don't like being told no, I have seen him twice since, he will wink at me, make a sexual remark or gesture and I'll just stick my fingers up at him then yesterday, as I had people in working on my kitchen refurbishing as this house had seen better days it badly needed doing up he stopped by to ask if he could lend a dollar for milk, yeah right it was probably for drugs, I told him he can fuck off, he said he'd lick my pussy for 5 dollars before I kicked him in the nuts, it was a good job I had workers at my house else I think he would have choked me to death, I hadn't seen the prick since.
I met his brother on my second run in the woods.

Honestly the first time I bumped into Daryl I had no idea who he was, Merle never mentioned he lived with anyone, not that we talked so while running, music blaring I almost had a heart attack when he stepped out from behind a tree, weapon in hand.

I stopped dead, took an earphone out and looked at him wearily as he looked me up and down.

"You gotta be fucking kidding me" he says though it's to himself and I step back as he steps forward, he smiles, a dark smile, almost like he's amused he was scaring me and he puts his crossbow on his shoulder and looks me up and down again, this time slowly, taking in everything and I feel exposed with my training tank top that ends under my tits and my running shorts, hell I might as well be in a bikini, I didn't think anyone came out here but me.

It's quiet for a few seconds as he just looks at me, I take that time to do the same.

He was ruggish, defiantly needed a shave and you could tell he was related to Merle.

His green flannel shirt was flared at the arms giving me the image of him tearing them off because they annoyed him. His muscles were glowing under his sweat and the dirt plastering his skin. His light brown hair was short and sticking up on all ends, his pants ripped at the knees and shoes scuffed, seems the only thing he looked after was his weapon.

I felt I was in some kind of horror movie as I stood there looking at the man, was he gonna chase me, he sure looked like he enjoyed seeing fear on my face, would he rape me and leave me for dead, hell I wouldn't put it past him. For god sake Hail, you did tae kwan doh for 3 years back at school, I could take him out easily.

I narrow my eyes at him, not wanting to show how intimidating he looked to me and finally he spoke up

"knew you'd be nothin but trouble, fucking jogger too huh" he snarls taking a step closer, then another until he's a foot in front of me, I could smell the woods on him and noticed a mole above his lip and a cigarette behind his left ear.

"You stay out of my woods, ya hear me" he says in a mere growl and I glare at him, who the fuck did this guy think he was?

"Your woods?" i question angrily and he smirks
