(Daryls PoV)
Cat and I are heading up to where I've camped out when we hear footsteps so I turn my head to see Dale
"Point of me comin' up here is to get away from you people" I tell the older man
"Gonna take more than that." Dale tells me and looks at Cat
"Carol send you?" I ask him
"Carols not the only one that's concerned about you, your new role in the group." He replies
"Oh, man, I don't need my head shrunk. This group is broken. I'm better off fendin' for myself." I tell him
"Cat, do you mind leaving for a minute?" Dale asks cat who looks at him raising my eyebrows and nods
"C'mon Aider" she nods and stands up
"Where ya goin'?" I ask the smaller girl "don't go out alone, your head still ain't 100%" I warn
"Okay dad,"she says throwing her hands up in defeat "I'll go and feed her and do my washing anything you need done?" She asks and i nod bending down picking up some dirty clothes and hand them to her
"Thanks" i mumble
"In a bit" she says to the us we both just nod
"Thanks Cat" Dale thanks her so she heads down
"You're better fendin' for yourself but you'd do anything for her," Dale speaks to me and I just look at him "you act like you don't care, about the group"
"Yeah, it's 'cause I don't" I snap back putting my denim vest on
"So live or die, you don't care what happens to Randall?" Dale asks me
"Nope, as long as he doesn't lay another hand on Cat or on anyone in this group it's fine" I tell him
"If you don't care, stand with me try to save the kids life, if it really doesn't matter one way or the other?" Dale pleads
"He's a rapist, they don't deserve to live and didn't peg you for a desperate son of a bitch" I say to him
"It wasn't him, he didn't do it so you're saying he's guilty due to association and your opinion makes a difference" he tells me
"Man, ain't nobody looking at me for nothing" I reply
"Cat is, she'd be lost without you and frankly I don't think she'd still be here if it wasn't for you, she always looks at you for advice, support and safety she likes you Daryl. Carol is, and I am. Right now. And you obviously... you have Rick's ear" he tells me
"Cat don't need me she's tough and Rick just looks to Shane. Let him." I scoff
"Daryl she's a lot softer than she makes out and you know that, you care about her. You cared about what happened to Sophia and Charlie, cared what it meant to the group. Torturing people? That isn't you. You're a decent man. So is Rick. Cats a good girl. Shane... he's different" Dale says
"Why's that? 'Cause he killed Otis?" I ask remembering me and cat discussing this
"He tell you that?" Dale asks walking over to me
"He told some story how Otis covered him, saved his ass. He showered up with the dead guy's gun. Rick ain't stupid. If he didn't figure that out, it's 'cause he didn't wanna. Everyone saw the scratches on his face at the CDC everyone saw Cat was acting off but no one done shit about it. It's like I said... group is broken" I state walking off throwing my crossbow over my shoulder leaving the older man on his own.
I look around and see Cat is nowhere to be seen so I check up by the well, nothing but a bucket of water and a bar of soap.
I check by the camp and see our clothes hanging on the line, so she has finished the washing I continue to look around when I hear a dog bark, Aider. I walk over to the barking and I just see Lori, Carol and Carl, Carl throwing a stick at the excited dog
"Where's Cat?" I ask them
"She went out a run with Glenn" Carl tells me
"She ain't meant to be goin' out" I speak
"You really think she's going to listen?" Andrea scoffs rolling her eyes before walking off down to the bar 'to keep watch'
"When did she go out?" I ask them
"An hour ago maybe" Lori informs me
"She'll be back soon, she's with Glenn he'll take care of her" Carol smiles and I just nod heading into the woods to find some food.
After a while I spot some squirrels running together so I load my crossbow and aim it at one shoot it dead and quickly get the other one so I walk over and pick them up slinging them over my shoulder.
After about an hour I head back to camp with a couple of rabbits and squirrels so I hang them up where I've camped out once I'm done I head down to the group when the tires of a car and a loud engine is heard so we all turn our heads to see the familiar green car speeding down the path
"Cat" Andrea rolls her eyes as the cat stops and Cat comes out the drivers seat
"You're crazy" Glenn gasps
"At least I can drive" he hits back and the pair separate Glenn goes into the house most likely to see Maggie and Cat walks over to me
"Missed me?" She asks
"Absolutely" I roll my eyes
"Knew it" she replies emptying her bag
"You're not meant to go out y'know" I remind her
"I know but it isn't bad anymore just a sore head sometimes but I'm fine, I can't just do nothing all day" she tells me
"You'll be doin' nothin' if you get concussed again" I tell her and she rolls her eyes
"I'll be fine" she says as she places her small bands on my chest before walking away
After a while of sitting at the fire I head into my own tent away from the group and go to sleep.
