chapter 19

Oh my goodness it's already chapter 19!! Hahaha oh my I need a life:p I'm going to try to post a few more chapters today and tomorrow because I'm going to be out of town for the weekend so I wont be able to write as much!! :0 ENJOYY!

"It's also so that she could have been moving this way, South." Rick said running his finger down the map on the car.

"If Sophia kept in that direction she might have gone out of the forest and into the farm over there."  I said pointing on the map. "Take 74 to IV road and then push down south through the forest until we hit Christopher. Go east a couple of miles, then double back." I finished and looked up at Rick who nodded at me. 

He was finally letting me go look today and actually let me over look everything. It's probably in every ones best interest that I go out looking today because another day of sitting around is going to make me go crazy..

Rick on the other hand, looked like he was already going crazy.. He had this look in his eye, something is on his mind and it's driving him insane. I will make sure to talk to him about that soon, but right now Hershel approached us and asked for Rick's help. "Want me to head out, Rick?"  I asked, gettin antsy.

"No, stay here. No one is going out alone anymore." He said, motioning with his hand for me to stay.

"We won't be too long." Hershel added. I nodded at them and walked away; upset that I have to wait to go out again. 

I walked over to camp and saw that T-dog wasn't there, so he was probably chopping fire wood. I set my bag down in my tent and walked over past the house to help bring back some of the wood. When I walked over I saw Daryl talking to Carol over by the creek, hopefully apologizing. T-dog saw me come over and smiled a little at me.

"Hey, uh- I thought ya might want some help carrying some wood back." I said as I got closer to him. 

"Thanks, but it's really not a big deal." He said as he chopped another log in half.

"It's no problem, just tryin to keep myself busy and help out. Plus, your arm is still healing." I said to him hoping he would just let me freaking help him.

"Sure, alright here." He said as he handed me some wood. "Thanks!" He called out as I started to walk away. 

"Not a problem! I'll be back for more!" I called back. I walked back to camp, accidentally dropping a log on my way, but I'll get it on my next trip back. I dropped the wood by the fire pit, receiving a smile from Dale on top of the RV. I waved up at him and then turned around to go get more.

I grabbed another few logs from T-dog and started to walk back when one of them gave me a splinter. "Fuck!" I quietly hissed to my self as I stopped and held my arm out. "Damn, you've got to be kidding me!" I hissed again, I always got mad when I hurt my self, but I was more mad at the inanimate object then myself. 

"Give it." I heard a voice behind me, Daryl. He was a tracker so he could be perfectly silent and sneak up on you if he wanted. I hesitated, hating when I needed help, but dumped the wood in to his arms. "Stupid wood giving me fuckin splinters." I mumbled as I backed away.

"Are ya mad at the wood, Fi?" Daryl said in a joking tone, making fun of me. 

"Ya as a matter of fact, I am." I said and went ahead of him to grab the piece of wood I dropped earlier. I got back up to see that Daryl quickly looked his gaze away from my ass. "Like what'cha see?" I teased him, pay back for making fun of me. 

He grunted in uncomfortableness and just walked ahead of me, back to camp. "My view ain't so bad either." I said, still teasing him as I saw his ass. "Stop." He said as he looked back at me with an annoyed, but almost embarrassed look from getting caught. I laughed to my self and just followed him back to the camp.
