I wake up staring at Daryl's face, I watch his face contort and twitch as he dreams, suddenly they snap open causing me to flinch back on surprise, he smirks, "Did I scare ya?" He jokes. I smile, "Not at all" I joke and place my hand on his chest, he wraps his arm around my side and draws patterns on the low of my back. I shiver, "Are ya cold?" He asks, "No, your giving goosebumps" I say.

"Daryl?" I ask hesitantly after a few moments of silence, he looks down at me "Yeah?" He asks, "I'm gonna show Rick you found the doll and I'm gonna help look for Sophia today, but I also needed your input on somethin?" I ask, he twirls strands of my hair between his fingers for a few minutes waiting for a response, "I thought maybe I could talk to Rick and maybe we could get some form of gun training, but I don't know how to ask him" I say looking at him, he let's out a long breath before looking back down at me, "Just keep it real and just tell him" he says. I get up and get dressed making sure my front is to him, I don't need him seeing the scars on my back. I tell him to stay in bed, give him a kiss and head out to find Rick, grabbing my bow on my way out the door.

"Rick, can I talk to you for a sec?" I ask interrupting him and Shane arguing about something, "Two things, both are good news" I say, he smiles, "What's up?" He asks, I pull the doll from behind my back and twist it in the air, he smiles from ear to ear and grabs the doll, "Where?" He asks, "Daryl found it in the ridge when he fell" I say, "What's the second part?" He asks, "Well its more of a question" I say, "What?" He asks, "I was thinking maybe we could have a gun training session" I say, his smirk resembles Daryl's which causes me to smile even more "You know what's funny? Shane and I were just arguing about that same thing" he says, my face drops, "Oh" I say sadly, his face drops to a frown. "I think its a good idea but I don't want to risk anyone getting hurt" he says, "I understand" I lie.

Two days has past and I'm laying with Daryl in our tent, Andrea comes in with a book and hands it to Daryl, he glances at me them flips through the pages and looks back to Andrea, his eyes scrunching up from the sun in the most adorable way, "What no pictures?" He jokes, "I'm sorry. I feel like shit" she says, "You and me both" Daryl replies, "I'm sorry I shot you" she says, "You were protecting the group, we're good" he says poking holes in the screen of our tent with the tip of his arrow, Andrea turns to leave, "Eh, but next time you best pray I'm dead" he says with a smirk. Andrea smiles and leaves.

"I can't talk you into resting one more day can I?" I ask, he shakes his head, "Ughh!!!" I sigh teasingly, I stand up and walk to the table with our weapons on it, I run my fingers along my compound and its arrows, then I look at the crossbow, I feel warm hands brush over my shoulders followed by his lips pressed on my cheek, I lean in and turn my neck towards him. He kisses me from behind and wraps his hands around my waist, I lean in and kiss his neck.

I turn around and he pulls me towards his chest, I wrap my hands around his neck and comb my fingers through his hair, he grabs my thighs and pulls upwards, I wrap my legs around his waist, he grabs my butt and his lips attack mine hungrily, a small moan escapes my lips as he runs his fingers up my back. I push him to the floor and straddle him before pinning his hands up above him and kissing him, he grunts and rolls over and now he's on top of me.

"Jade? Daryl?" I hear Carol's sweet voice say, I look at Daryl, he smirks and kisses my neck, "We'll be right there, is everything alright?" I ask nudging Daryl's face with my cheek. He slides his face down my stomach and runs his tongue against my bare skin, "Rick wants to see you guys, we'll all be out here when your ready" she says and I hear her walking away, "I can't concentrate when you do that" I say and and playfully palm his chest. "What?" He asks, before sliding his hands back up my sides and kisses my neck, "Daryl, we should go" I gasp, "Why? They can wait" he says looking into my eyes. I smile and bring his lips back down onto mine and wrap my legs around his lower back.

"Rick?" I ask walking back into camp, "Ah, Jade, were going to gun training and I wanted to know if you and Daryl could be instructors?" He asks, Daryl snakes his arm around my waist and pulls me towards him, "Sure, we'd be more than happy to" he answers for me, Rick smiles, "Ok, so Andrea and Beth will go with Jade, Daryl will take Patricia and Stewart, Shane will take Carol and Sophia, I'll take Carl and Lori, T-Dog can take Johnathan and Glenn can take Maggie" he says, we all split up in our groups and get into cars here heading to the hillbilly gun range we have set up.
