(sorry I took me forever to update but here It is)

Jessica's POV:

I hurried and opened the Rv door and looked inside. No Madison or Merle. I looked at Daryl. He ran out the door and I followed him, wanting to find our daughter, but we saw something completely different.

Walkers... a lot of them.

Everyone was running around trying to find weapons to kill the walkers. I handed Daryl his bow back. " Madison! Merle!" I yelled, running around. Every time a walker came near me I walked stab it in the head.

Daryl watched my back as I looked around for our family. " Merle!!! Madison!!" Daryl yelled.

We didn't hear a response over the noise of everyone yelling and gunshots. I didn't know what to do. Were they okay? Are they hurt? No! Merle is with her, he will protect her with his life.

Soon all the walkers were dead and so were some of the group. I ran over to check if any of the were Merle or Madison. I flipped some over and moved some around, but I couldn't find them. I started to cry. I felt someone holding me, Daryl. I turned and hugged him, crying into his old leather jacket.

I could tell he wanted to cry too. His body was tense and he kept breathing fast. I couldn't believe it... my baby and brother were gone. But then I heard gasps. I let go of Daryl and we turned to the group. Two figures were coming out of the woods. Merle and Madison!!! I gasped and ran over, hugging them both.

Daryl followed me and we had a huge family hug. " What happened? Where were you guys?" I asked once we pulled away.

Merle smiled, " Madison wanted to go pick flowers while you were gone because she couldn't sleep. So I went with her and took a knife and a little pistol. We just got back, what happened here?" He asked.

Once Daryl and I finished telling him what happened, he nodded. Madison handed me some flowers and kissed my cheek. " These are for you mommy." She said, smiling. 

I took them and placed on in her hair, making her giggle. But our reunion was short-lived because I felt a tight grip on my arm. I winched and looked at Daryl, who was holding my arm. " Daryl, why are you gripping my arm?"

" When did you get this?" He growled, looking down at my arm. What is he talking about? I looked down, gasping at the sight... I got bit. A walker bit me. 

" Mommy, what's wrong?" Madison asked.

I shake my head and let her down. " Nothing princess, go with uncle Merle while me and daddy talk." She nodded and Merle led her away, giving me a sad look.

I turn to Daryl. His jaw was locked and he looked pissed. "You got bit." He said.

I couldn't believe it. I was gonna die just right when our small family got back together. " I'm gonna die," I whispered.

Daryl growled when I said that. " No, you're not. We are leaving camp first thing in the morning. We all are headed to a place called CDC. They will have a doctor there that will take care of you." He said, hugging me tightly. I hugged him back, trying not to cry again.
