Dangerous | Daryl Dixon The Walking Dead

(Cats pov)
I wake up with another jacket over my body and I'm confused because I didn't have another one Aider curled into my side as always. I pick it up and realise it's a man's jacket which confuses me even more since Charlie doesn't even had a jacket. I shrug it off and head over to the group.

"Mornin'" carol says brightly looking at me

"Mornin' carol" I reply back with a small smile

"How d'ya sleep?" I hear a deep voice from beside me which I recognise as Daryl

"Yeah not bad for being on the ground, you?" I ask back looking up at him

"Yeah same" he replies as Lori and Shane come out of the woods together looking flustered

"What's with them?" I ask Daryl confused because isn't she Ricks wife what's she hanging about in the woods with Shane for?

"They got close, Shane told Lori Rick was dead they got all cozy" Daryl tells me and I nod Shane looks me up and down a couple seconds too long making me furrow my brows at him

"Cat do you want to join us to do the washing?" Jacqui asks and I nod shocked she didn't mind me hanging around

The girls all head down while the men dig holes for the graves Andrea still hasn't moved from her spot from her dead sister Amy.

Carol and I are just laughing away when Ed decides to but Interrupt

"What's so funny?" He asks raising his eyebrows placing the cigarette in his mouth

"Just swapping war stories Ed" Jacqui tells him as I look over at Shane, Lori and Carl trying to catch frogs and playing with aider in the water

"Problem, Ed?" I ask him and he gets closer and closer to Carol

"None that concerns you," he replies "and you ought to focus on your work. This ain't no comedy club" making me scoff he continues to just stand there

"Ed I'll tell you what. You don't like how your laundry is done you are welcome to pitch in and get off your lazy ass and do it yourself. Here" I throw a wet shirt and him which he Throws right back at me the cold material felt like a slap to the face with the force he threw it at

"Oh!" Jacqui yells

"Ain't my job, kitty cat" he snaps the nickname sending shivers down my spine

"Cat don't!" Carol yells over

"What is your job then Ed? Sitting on your fat ass smoking cigarettes?" I ask standing up to him

"Well. It sure as hell ain't listening to some pretty little smart mouthed bitch. Tell you what. Come on. Let's go" he says aiming the rest at Carol

"She don't need to go nowhere with you"  I tell him

"It ain't your business. You heard me come on" he says motioning for Carol to come over to him

"Cat please it doesn't matter" she pleaded

"Hey don't think I won't knock you on your ass just 'cause You're some dumb pretty little white girl. All right?" He says and i scoff "now you come now or you gonna regret it later" Ed threatens Carol

"So she can show up with some fresh bruises later, Ed?" Jacqui adds "yeah we've seen them" to which he laughs

"Stay outta this" he snaps and grabs carols arm trying to pull her away but I push his hand off of her "Don't touch me you stupid little bitch!" He shouts at me and slaps me in the face so I start throwing punch after punch at him until he's on the ground nose bleeding bruised eyes and that's when Shane and Daryl come over
