A Grimes and A Dixon

Chapter 2

*Skip until next day*

Beau's POV

I woke up the next morning and got out of my tent. I looked over at Alli who was looking at me with concern as she was talking with her dad and Shane, "Rick he's a lot more mellow than his brothers I promise." Shane said. "You guys talking shit about my brothers?" I asked. "Always." Alli said. I shook my head chuckling softly at her.

"Son." "My name's Beau." I said. "Beau are you concerned about your older brother?" "Daryl or Merle?" "Merle dumb ass." Shane said. "Shane." Lori's voice was heard. "You know what asshole." I said stepping up but Alli stepped in front of me while Rick stepped in front of Shane. "Knock it off." Both Grimes said. "Beau take a breath." Alli said.

I took a breath as Shane paced, "Your piece of shit brother got left behind." Shane said. "The fuck he do this time?" I asked. "He was being very difficult shooting walkers and causing a scene so um." Alli was saying. "Rick cuffed him to the roof of a building." Shane said without hesitation." "What?" I asked. "Calm down Beau they're planning on going back for him." Alli said. "I am going." I said. "No you're not. You're not right in the head." Rick said. I looked at him with fire in my eyes, "Hey stay and help me keep an eye on Carl and Sophia Carol and mom need to do laundry." Alli said. "Fine." I said. "We'll get back here as soon as..." Rick was saying when there was a scream from Carl and Sophia.

Alli took off running her gun out as I grabbed my cross bow on my way following her closely, "Alli wait!" I yelled. We got to them Alli grabbed the two of them quickly as I saw a walker eating a deer I shot the walker in the head and looked at the three. "Alli, Carl!" Rick's voice was heard. "We're okay." Alli said as he, Shane, Jim, Lori and Carol came running over. "They've never gotten this close before to camp." Shane said. "They're running out of food in the city then." Jim said. I saw him with a shovel in his hands giving him a look and went to say something when Carol shot me a look as she held a trembling Sophia.

A branch snapped and I pushed Alli behind me having my crossbow ready, "You pull that trigger you better be sure I am dead." The voice of my brother Daryl came. "Jesus." I said putting the bow down.

He stepped out, "Son of a bitch!" My brother yelled. "That's my damn deer!" He handed me his crossbow which I held as he walked over, "Stupid, filthy, disease-bearing motherless poxy bastard!" He shouted as he kicked the walker. "Calm down son." Dale said. "What do you know about it old man? Why don't you take that stupid hat and go back to on golden pond?" Daryl asked pissed. "Daryl." I said raising my eyebrow at my older brother. "I've been tracking this deer for miles." He said pointing at the deer. "Was gonna drag it back to camp and cook us up some venison."

He bent down looking at the deer's neck, "Think we can cut around this chewed up part here?" He question motioning towards the area the walker bit. "I wouldn't risk it." Alli said. "Great all that work for nothing." "See you got some squirrels." I said. "Yeah that'll have to do." He walked back to camp.

"Merle!" Daryl yelled. "Get your ugly ass out here I got us some squirrel." Daryl said. "Daryl wait." I said. He looked at me, "There's something I need to tell you." I said. He looked between me and Alli, "Told you to wrap it." Daryl said. "What no Daryl not that we're just friends." I said. "Sure you are." He said smirking. I sent him the fuck you look, "What do you need to tell me." "It's about Merle." I said.

Daryl whipped his head looking at me, "He dead?" "We're not sure." Shane said. "He either is or he ain't!" Daryl shouted. "Daryl." I said as he went towards Shane. "Stop." "No easy way to say this so I'll just say it." Rick said standing next to me. "Who are you?" Daryl asked looking at him. "Rick Grimes." "Rick Grimes." My brother mocked. "You got something to tell me?" "As I told Beau your brother was a danger to us all so I handcuffed him on a roof he's hooked to a piece of metal." Rick said. I looked at him he probably should've just let me tell Daryl, "He's still there."

Daryl started pacing back a forth, "Hold on let me process this. You're saying that you handcuffed our brother to a roof and you left him there!" Daryl shouted. "Yeah." Rick nodded. Daryl just stood there then took off at Rick but he moved quickly but Rick grabbed him hard in a choke hold slamming him to the ground, "Choke hold is illegal." Daryl started.

Once Daryl calmed down Rick told him in detail as to what Merle did which didn't shock me and of course Daryl saying he's going with them along with T-dog and Glenn. I scoffed then stormed back to my tent because I want to be left alone.

*Skip a couple hours*

I was laying in my tent when it opened and I saw Alli, "What?" I asked. She sat down looking at me, "I am mad too." She said. "About?" "I just got my dad back and now he's back in the city I lost him in." She said.

As we were talking Carl stormed over to us, "Carl get over here!" Lori yelled. "What's going on?" Alli asked. "Mom doesn't want Shane teaching me to frog hunt." Carl said. "Shane and dad taught me when I was Carl's age." Alli said. "That was different." "How?" Carl asked. "Would it be okay if I taught him?" I asked Lori. She was hesitant, "I'll be there it's fine." Alli said. "Please mom." Carl pleaded. "Fine but change into different jeans." Lori said. "Awesome." Carl said. "Hey Sophia guess what!" Carl called. "Keep an close eye on him please." Lori said. Alli nodded as Lori kissed her head, "Watch out for my kids." "Yes ma'am." I said.

Carl and Sophia ran over to Alli and I, "Come on Beau." Carl said. I chuckled walking with Carl as Sophia walked next to Alli holding her hand, "You wanna learn to Soph?" I asked. "No frogs are gross." She said. "Frogs are gross." Alli said. I looked at her, "But so good to eat." Alli stated. "Especially frog legs." I said. "Ew." Carl and Sophia said. "Hey ya'll won't be saying that when I cook em." I said as we walked down the hill.

As we got closer I heard crying and screaming and took off running, "Carl stay with your sister!" I called. Alli grabbed his other hand when I saw Shane beating the living hell out of Ed the girls were yelling at him to stop. I ran over and ripped Shane off which he stood up, "What's your problem?" "My problem is your beating the living hell out of that piece of shit." I said. "He deserves it." "He does but Shane you do this you're just as much as a bad guy as him." Shane took a breath then walked away.

"Aren't you suppose to be with your mama?" Shane asked Carl. "Beau's going to teach me to frog hunt." Carl said with a bright smile. Shane looked at me then the Grimes siblings Alli gripping Carl tightly, "Have fun keep an eye on 'em." He said to me and went back to camp.

I crouched down, "I hear or see you lay a hand on your wife, daughter or any of the women in our camp I'll make sure you're not heard from again understand?" I asked. Ed nodded when I went back to Alli, Sophia and Carl which was a good time.
