~Haley's P.O.V.~

By the next day I did the same thing for almost half the day. I looked up at the sky and noticed where the sun was. It was about noon. And hot as hell. I walked back into the cell block. I left to my cell but saw Daryl sitting there on the top of the stairs fixing his crossbow. I walked up to him and squatted down next to him

"Look I know you basically hate me but I'm trying to nice. You want to be an asshole fine by me I can be a bitch back no problem" I scolded with a straight tone. I stood up and began to walk down the stairs

"Wait"

I stopped in my tracks and turned around

"I'm sorry alright"

"Look Daryl I'm just trying to get to know everyone here. Everyone's let me in. Why haven't you?" I asked going back down squatting next to him

"I don't let anyone in aight" He said with his accent. I'm not sure what kind it was

"I get it. But some day you have to let someone in"

He looked at me and I'm guessing thought "Let's go for a walk"

He took his crossbow, put it behind his back as he stood up. I followed him as he walked outside and stopped at the courtyard. He had on hand on the strap where he hung the crossbow on his back.

Once we walked out to the courtyard I stopped

"This world has gone to hell"

"You got that right" She said looking out

"That's why I never let anyone in"

"Because of what this world has come to?" She asked

I began walking and she followed me walking next to me

"I open up to someone and the next day they could be one of them" I said pointing at the walkers

"You don't know that"

"I ain't ever sure of anything anymore" I said

"I do" She looked straight ahead and I looked at her

I scoffed "How do you know you ain't gonna die tomorrow and come back as one of those bastards?"

"I don't" She looked at me "But I do know one thing Daryl Dixon"

The hell, did she just say my full name, I didn't even tell her my last name

"I'm not afraid"

"Everyone's afraid of somethin" I said

She clears her throat and chuckles "That's where your wrong Daryl. You just think your scared. But your first instinct is protect yourself from any danger. That's when you know, your not scared when you protect yourself"

She walked away from me slowly. That girl was a mystery, it was weird. I wanted to know more about her. I began walking after her when Rick called out
