Two Opposites | Daryl Dixon

Chapter 1: Frog Legs

It's been fifty days since the highway, and the group was doing well. A few days after her talk with Daryl Alexis was happy that he did indeed join the group, along with his brother of course. Alexis and Daryl had this weird relationship where they would talk one day and then completely ignore each other the next day. She didn't mind of course, she understood that he prefers to be alone, but today she wanted to change that.

¨Hey Daryl. I have a question for you.¨ Alexis says sitting beside him.

¨Shoot.¨ Daryl responds.

¨So I know you're going hunting today and I thought maybe if you want. I could go with you?Alexis said, making it seem more like a question than a statement.

Daryl looked at the girl, she seemed like she knew what the answer was going to be. He wanted to say no but at the same time he didn't really have an excuse for why she couldn't come. Merle was on a supply run with the rest of the group so his usual ¨partner¨ was gone, but he didn't want her to get hurt. Daryl sighed and looked back at his bolt.

¨I would let you come, but you know I prefer to hunt alone.¨ Daryl says not trying to be harsh with the girl.

The one thing about Daryl and Alexis's relationship was that he wasn't as mean to her then he was to everyone else, she was his weakness, and everyone at camp knew it, except for Daryl and Alexis. Alexis frowned and got up to walk away,

¨I understand. Sorry I asked.¨ She said heading towards Dale who was on watch. ¨Hey Dale.¨ Alexis said while she climbed up the rv to get to him.

Dale smiled at the girl but turned when Lori started talking to him, ¨Dale I'm heading out.¨ She said then turned and looked at Carl, ¨Sweetheart, I want you to stay where Dale can see you, okay?¨

¨Yes, mom.¨ Carl replied.

Dale looked down at Lori and shouted, ''You too. Don't wander too far, stay within shouting distance. And if you see anything, holler. I'll come running.¨

Alexis chuckled at his response but stopped whenever she saw Daryl head into the woods for the third time today. Apparently he's been tracking down a deer but has been running out of bolts so he came back for more. That's when she had the idea, she always saw him making them so she knew what she was going to do for him. 'Maybe I can make him bolts.' Alexis thought.

¨What's on your mind?¨ Dale asked the girl.

¨Oh, I was thinking since Daryl keeps coming back for more bolts that he may need someone to make some when he's gone. So that's what I'm going to do.¨ Alexis said heading for the ladder.

¨You even know how to make them?¨ Dale asked with a smug face.

Alexis stopped and looked up at the older man, ¨Nope, but I saw him make some a couple times so how hard can it be?¨

It was hard.

Alexis tried over and over to make more bolts for Daryl but it didn't work out well. Since she didn't want to waste supplies she stopped trying and she really felt back. Alexis just wanted to help out Daryl and she couldn't even make some simple bolts.
