A right kind of love..The walking dead fanfic

Chapter 4

We are around the camp fire and it was now dark, we sit there and listen to the new guy Rick, he tell us about how scary it was waking up in a world like this, I sit there and wonder when Daryl was going to get back from his hunt, I know how much he likes to be on his own but that didn't stop me worrying about him out there on his own.

"Disoriented. I guess that comes close" rick said to the group "fear and confusion all them things, but disoriented comes close, it was like I was ripped out if my life and thrown into some crazy coma dream"

I sit across from him and lori and Carl watching them all huddled up together, it would of normally make me want to well up and feel happy for them if it wasn't for the fact that only hours ago I caught her having sex with her husbands best friend, I hadn't spoke to Rick yet but from what I could make out Rick was a nice man and he didn't deserve that, even though she thought he was dead didn't mean the grieving widow had right to jump into bed with the best friend, he would of only be dead a month.

The conversation soon turns to merle, and it was something that I was dreading
Dale speaks up first "have you gave any thought to Daryl Dixon, he will be mighty pissed when he finds out about his brother"

"I will tell him, I dropped the key" T-dog said to the group.

"I cuffed him, that's on me" Rick said to T dog.

"Guys it not a competition for crying out loud, I don't mean to bring race into this, but it might sound better coming from a white guy." I said looking across the fire to T dog.

"I did what I had to do" he explained getting a head nod from me.

"We could lie" Amy said to the group
"Or tell the truth" I said glaring at her not liking the fact of lying to Daryl.

"Merle was out of control, he would of gotten us killed, you husband did what was necessary" Andrea said looking to lori "merle getting left behind was no ones fault but Merle's"

"And that's what you going to tell Daryl" I said looking to Andrea, she shrugs her shoulders to me "all I'm going to say is that we going to have our hands full when Daryl gets back from his hunt" I informed the group looking around to everyone.
If I'm honest merle always made me feel uneasy, and I wasn't his biggest fan but he was Daryl's brother, and I like Daryl he had been good to me.

"I was scared and I run, I'm not ashamed of it" t dog said looking at me.

"We all was scared" Andrea said looking at t dog who was sitting next to her "what's your point?" She asked him.

"I stopped long enough to chain the door shut. Stair case is narrow, Maybe half a dozen geeks can squeeze against it at any one time.
It's not enough to break through that chain, not that padlock. My point Dixon's alive and he's still up there, handcuffed on that roof." T dog explained.
I look across to Rick who was looking at me, I look back wondering what he was thinking.

I wake up again in my tent and I throw my clothes on same as yesterday but different top and I head outside. it was another hot muggy day. I walk to Daryl's tent and see that it hadn't been back "dang" I muttered to myself worry starting to build up in the pit of my stomach.

It was then that screams of children could be heard through camp.
I take off in the direction the screams was coming followed by Rick Shane Dale and Glenn Jim.
I stop when I see a walker bent down eating a deer, I stand there knife in hand frozen when it notices me, the guys start hitting the walker with the shovels and stuff they had on them.

Dale brings the ax down chopping off it's head
I turn and look at the half eaten dear.
"That's the first one we had up here" Dale said to us all "they never come this far up the mountains"

"Well there running out of food in the city" jim said wiping sweat of his head.

Then brunches snap and rustle I grab my gun out my shorts and aim it in the direction of the noise and step forward looking at shane who done the same and out walks Daryl a smile springs to my face.

"Oh jesus" Shane mumbles lowering his gun.

"Son of a bitch, that's my dear" Daryl yells walking over "look at it all gnawed on by this filthy, disease-bearing, motherless poxy bastard" daryl said kicking the Walkers lifeless body.

"Calm down son, that's not helping anybody" Dale said to Daryl.

"What do you know about it, old man? Why don't you take that stupid hat and go back to "On Golden Pond"? Daryl said getting in Dales face.
"Hey Daryl" I said trying to get him to calm down and it must of worked as he walks back to the deer removing the arrows from the deers back.

"I've been tracking this deer for miles.
Gonna drag it back to camp, cook us up some venison." Daryl said looking to me with a smile. "What do you think? Do you think we can cut around this chewed up part right here?"

"I would not risk that." I said putting my gun back in my shorts.
"oh that's a damn shame, got us some squirrel though, half a dozen or so that will have to do"

"Yummy" I retort to him and he winks at me knowing how much it bothers me eating them things.
the walkers head on the floor starts to snap it's teeth
"Oh come on guys" Daryl said shooting the walker in the head with his crossbow "don't y'all know anything, it's got to be the brain" he said retrieving his arrow the head of the walker.

Daryl walks past me to head back to camp "you been okay?" He asked stopping walking with me, I nodded my head with a weak smile and Daryl walks off.

I turn around seeing Rick i smile weakly at him
"Well you just met Daryl" I said.

"I can see that" he said looking at everyone walking off.

I walk off knowing that it was time that Daryl knew about Merle and I knew it was going to be a tricky situation and I wasn't looking forward to it.
