Days had passed, Herschel helped the group with a map. The map would help make it better to find Sophia. Daryl was the only one that would and could search when they got the map. You wanted to go, but instead you helped around the house and got to know your sisters better.

When night came around and Daryl got back, he dropped off a flower for Carol. It was a Cherokee rose, part of the native's story from the trail of tears.

Even though Herschel gave you a room to sleep in, you and Daryl stayed with the group. So you were just laying in the tent looking through the screen at the stars.

"I never realized just how nice the stars are." Y/n said.

"Yea, they're almost as pretty as you." Daryl said.

You blushed at his words.

"I wanna come with you tomorrow. I don't want ya going alone." You said, looking at him "And you can't say no."

Daryl didn't say anything as he closed his eyes and went to sleep. You followed soon after.

______________________________________________________________________________

There was a meeting that you, Shane, Daryl, Rick, Glenn, T-Dog, and Jimmy had. You and Daryl are taking a horse up the creek to find Sophia.

The ride to the creek was nice. But you stopped suddenly, Daryl got off.

"Stay put." Daryl said, going down the hill.

He left his crossbow with you, which is on your back. Daryl picked up something in the water, he looked around.

"Find something!" You shouted.

"It's her doll!" Daryl replied.

Before asking another question the horse started going wild. You knew it didn't do that unless it was startled, but you couldn't see what startled the horse. You ended up getting bucked off. You tried to grab onto a branch, but it was too fast for you to do so. You didn't even hear the yelling, until you reached the ground. Your head was pounding as you layed there, Daryl was by you.

"Y/n! Y/n hey you alright!" Daryl said "Look at me!"

You opened your eyes to see his blue ones. You saw the concerned look on his face, trying to sit up, you wince.

"Woah, easy now." Daryl said.

Looking at your left side, you see one of his arrows. Daryl also noticed it and started ripping his sleeves off.

"We need to take it out." You said, looking at it "It didn't hit anything, also it'll help bandage it better."

Daryl nodded, he held you as he put his hand on the arrow. In the second pain shot through you like a rocket and you whined out. He kissed your head and told you it's okay. With that he bandaged your side. He laid you down as he looked for a way out, you didn't even notice that you were going under.

It was the first time you had an actual interaction with them, the Dixions. You talk from time to time. Daryl was in your class, but Merle was always there to pick up his brother. You walked home, even in the rain.

The day that changed your life for the better was when a boy was following you. You didn't notice, even if you did there was no way you could beat him.

"Hey look, if it isn't the freak girl." The guy said, looking at the people behind him.

"What do you want?" You asked "I have things to do."

"How about we have some fun?" They guy said "Just you, me, and my boys here can watch."

You slapped him right across the face. But you were thrown into a wall. Hand around your throat. You tried screaming, kicking didn't do much.

You closed your eyes, scared for your life. Tires came to a stop and in an instant the boy was gone. Opening your eyes you see the one and only, Daryl Dixion, beating on the boy. Merle was there with a smirk on his face watching his brother.

"All right little brother. I think he's had enough." Merle said.

Daryl did as told and got off of him, the boy scrambled and ran. Daryl turned to you, his knuckles bruised. You hadn't even realized that you were crying until he whipped them away.

"Ya alright." Daryl asked.

"Thank you." You said, pulling him in a hug "Thank you so much Daryl."

He didn't hug back, cause he didn't know this would happen. Instead he patted your back, pulling away he nodded to the truck.

"I'll give you a lift to your place." Daryl said, taking your hand in his.

Opening your eyes slowly, cause someone was shaking you. Daryl looked at you with blood on him.

"What happened?" You asked.

"Walkers, don't worry. I took care of it." Daryl said.

Picking you up bridal style, somehow he got you on his back. You noticed the walker ears on his neck, but didn't question him. Daryl climbed up the hill, almost falling back down, but he made it to the top.

______________________________________________________________________________

You didn't know how long it was or if you passed out again, but the farm came into view. You also noticed Glenn, Shane, Rick, and T-Dog coming towards you.

"Is that Daryl and Y/n?" Glenn asked.

"What happened?" Rick asked.

"Tell ya later, but she needs He-"

Daryl went down with you. You managed to fall off his back and on your injured side, you yelled out in pain. Rick and Shane were by Daryl and Glenn was by you. Glenn helped you up and wrapped your arms around him. Shane and Rick helped up Daryl, who was bleeding on his head.

______________________________________________________________________________

You opened your eyes to see Herschel stitching up Daryl's head. You tried sitting up, but pain went by your side, making you hiss.

"Hey, take it easy." Daryl said "Don't try and get up."

You laid back down.

"How you feeling?" Herschel asked.

"Like I got hit by a bus." You said "What happened?"

"After coming back to the farm, I got shot. Andrea thought I was a walker. I told Rick what happened and what we found. All you need to do is rest." Daryl said.

You wanted to go to Andrea and tell her off, possibly hit her also. But your body wouldn't let you, so all you could do is sleep. You tugged at his shirt, Daryl shifted and laid down right beside you. Laying your head on his chest, closing your eyes, you went to sleep.
