I Can Survive On My Own. (Carl Grimes x Reader) >COMPLETED< ~EDITING~

Smile.

Daryl's Point of view.
(This is how you guys met.)
"(Y/n) Come on. Let's go, too many walkers." I whispered.
(Y/n) followed me, as she asked,
"D-Daryl, where's Merle?"
I sigh. "He will be here soon."
(Y/n) held on to my arm. She was so small and scared. I can feel her shaking and always looking around her surroundings. I understand how she is scared. Having these walkers and all hell she has been though. We where quiet, trying our best to avoid the walkers, and trying to find something safe.
"Daryl." (Y/n) whispered.
"Daryl!" (Y/n) yelled, as a walker was running after us. I was not fast enough to take out my crossbow, but (y/n), I was amazed. She tackled the walker. She punched it, dislocating it's jaw. Then she grabbed her knife and put it though the walkers head. I was shocked. This girl, she's fucking strong.
She got up, taking back her knife, blood splatter on her face and her hands, even her shirt. She started crying. Then she ran up and hugged me.
"Shh baby girl, you're okay." I said, holding her close to my chest.
"D-Daryl, I-I did not know I could d-do that." (Y/n) said shaking.
"No need to be scared hun. It's good you can do that. Maybe we should practice your reflexes and fighting skills, okay?"
I could feel her nod and she pushed away.
"Is Merle going to be okay? I-it's getting dark and he hasn't showed up."
I dropped down on one knee. "(Y/n), he will be alright. He can take care of himself. Plus, we are like family now, he will come find us, or tomorrow we will find him."
She nodded. "Where are we going to stay?"
"Well, we need to find some shelter, let's keep walking forward, maybe we will find a house." I said standing up. She flashed a smile and started to skip a head.
I heard someone running behind me.
I turned around, seeing Merle tackling me.
"Oh shit!" As we fell on the ground. I could hear (y/n) laughing in the background.
"Hey brother, been a couple days." Merle said getting up.
"Yeah, (y/n) been wonderin' where you have been."
I could see her smiling in the background. Merle helped me up, then he ran up to (y/n).
"Hey young one!" He said smiling picking up (y/n) She giggled.
"Guess what Merle! I took down the walker by myself! I broke it's jaw," she said doing a punching motion. "Then I stabbed it in the head!" She said pretending to stab Merle in the head.
"Ow! You got me." Merle said doing walker growls, as he set the girl down.
"Pretty impressive for a nine year old."
She smiled, and started to skip forward, and we followed.

Little note.
This is before Rick woke up, and when the apocalypse first started. I'm adding my own story line and will change the real story line a bit.

Part 2 soon..
