Daryl shifted his hand, making it press down on your wund. You hissed as you removed his hand and held it. 

“What's wrong?” Daryl asked, concerned. 

“Nothing.” You answered. 

“Show me.” Daryl said.

You didn’t want to fight him so you lifted up your shirt, revealing the infected wound.

“How did that happen?” Daryl asked.

“I crashed, someone had hitted me making me go off the road.” You said “I was trying to get to you and Merle.” 

Daryl pulled you into a hug.

“I ain’t mad, Merle and I are gonna be taking care of ya now.” Dary said “Merle, get out here!”

“Daryl Merle’s not here.” You said “He’s still in Atlanta.” 

“What?” Daryl said, looking at you. 

“It's true, your brother was a danger to us all. I handcuffed him, he’s still there.” Rick said. 

Daryl let go of you and threw the squirrels at him. Changering at Rick, Shane tackled him. Daryl pulled out a knife getting back up, he tried swinging at Rick, but Shane made him drop it and put him in a headlock. 

“Let him go!” You yelled, trying to get Shane off of him. 

Shane ended up pushing you off of him, he ended up pushing on your wound. You fell on your back, clutching at your side, pulling your hand back was blood. Shane had opened up your stitches. Dale was right by your side helping you sit up. 

Daryl was out of Shanes head lock, right by your side. Daryl took a rage out noticing the blood, he removed your hands with his, the blood on your hands got his blood boiling. Pressing the rag to your side he glared at Shane. 

“Touch her again and I’ll kill ya.” Daryl said. 

He lifts you up and takes you to his tent. Daryl lays you down and starts to take care of your opened wound.

“I thought it would heal by now.” You said “Or at least start.”

“Yea, but with no meds, you're not gonna make it far.” Daryl said “It looks like a few came opened, not all of it. Should be fine.” 

Going in his bag he looks for meds. He couldn’t find any for the infection. 

“I’m going to Atlanta to go get Merle. I want ya to stay here and rest. Ya need it.” 

You nodded at him, closing your eyes. You felt him give you a head kiss, after that you went to sleep. 

______________________________________________________________________________

It wasn’t night until you woke up, but it was screams that really got you going. You pulled out your axe as you opened the tent. 

You saw a walker attacking the camp, one came up to you, but you killed it. You ran to Shane as he was shooting, you and him were back to back killing walkers. 

Soon enough the group was back, firing away. Daryl found you instantly and stayed by your side. 

It was over soon enough, you could hear Andrea crying over Amy. You didn’t know many of the group that died, but it was sad. Arms wrapped around you in a tight hug.

“Ya alright?” Daryl asked.

You nodded and hugged back. You didn’t want to let go and from the looks of it they didn’t find Merle. But you had to take care of the bodys that were covering the camp. 

Time had gone fast, it was turning day when you had cleaned up and stacked the bodys. There were two piles, one for burry and one for burning.  You weren’t exhausted, but numb. You’ve seen it happen to many groups when you were alone. 

A nug was at your arm, you looked at Daryl to see him holding water and a bottle of pills. 

“I found something for the infection.” Daryl said, handing you the bottle and popping out pills “Take em, don’t need it to get worse.” 

You did as told, you popped the pills in your mouth and drank some water.

“You can take a break, don’t need to hurt yourself.” Daryl said.

“I’m fine.” You said, as Carol came over “Everything alright Carol.”

“Ed was my husband, I should do it.” Carol said, taking the pick axe. 

“You don’t have to.” Daryl said.

Carol didn’t listen as she sunk the pic into his skull over and over again. The tears weren’t sad, but joy. Some closure was given to her, because she could finally live a life without Ed for her and Sophia. But there was still this world to survive in, more cruel than ever. 

“Jims bit! Jims been bit!”

We all turned to Jauqi as she yelled pointing at Jim. He was pale and sweaty, blood was on his side. Shane tried to get him to show, but Jim swung at him. So Shane disarmed Jim and Daryl pulled up his shirt, revealing the bite. 

______________________________________________________________________________

You all packed up, the CDC was the location that was next. Everyone was hoping it would be alright. Hoping they could help Jim, he was getting worse by the minute. You rode with Dary, thinking about the olds days where you two would get away and ride around town. You would take Merle's truck whenever he passed out, sometimes with the motorcycle. You were surprised that it was still with him. 

A honk pulls you out of your mind as the RV stops. Everyone gets out.

“Why we stopping?” Daryl asked. 

“Jim wants us to leave him.” Rick said.

“What, we can't do that.” You said.

“It's what he wants.” Rick said.

Shane came out not a second later, Jim in his arms. Shane placed him on a tree. 

“Goodbye Jim.” Shane said.

“Do you want this?” Rick asked, pointing at his gun.

Jim shook his head, you said goodbye and left. It was hard to do, but you understood that it wasn’t your choice. Daryl held your hand as you drove.

The CDC came into view not too long.

Running to it you all saw the dead military, walkers just standing not noticing you. The door was locked up when you reached it.

“Hey! Hello!” Rick yelled.

“Rick there's no one here!” Shane said “We gotta go!”

Daryl was behind the group taking out the dead that came to close, Rick kept banging on the door.

“The camera moved!” Rick said “Please, let us in. There are women and children, please. You're killing us if you don’t.”

Shane was dragging Rick away when the door opened, none of you wasted any time as you all ran straight for it.
