A Dixon Sister?

Chapter 4

Emma POV

When I woke up the banging on the door had stoped and I was laying on my side in a ball. I sat up and looked around the room. I couldn't see much because my view was blocked by an over turned table. I stood up and saw that the room was in fact a small food store. It had been looted but there was still stuff left to grab.

I quickly opened my rucksack and filled it with a couple of packets of chips and some chocolate bars and a full bottle of water (which I could reuse later). I walked up to the shops counter and looked for anything useful. Turned out there was nothing. I looked up from behind th counter and saw a small window.

I had to climb on a chair to look out of the window properly. I looked out and saw that I was only two or three blocks from being able to leave the city. There was only a few walkers covering the street meaning if I needed to I could take them out.

I made sure I had all my thing
One bow....yep
One hunting knife....yep
And one pistol....yep.
I counted how many arrows I had left. I had twenty-three. I packed more food and water in my bag and strapped my quiver onto my back. I lifted my backpack onto my back and made sure I was comfortable.

I looked out of the window one last time.

"Good only three walkers there". I said to myself as I got off the chair and stood by the door.

Am I ready for this?...Where am I going to go now?....A million questions raced through my mind.....Should I do this?.....Yes I'm going to do this. I put my hand on the door handle and turned it. I opened the door and ran for the highway. Part of me hoping that I'd find Daryl and Merle waiting for me.

Merle POV

"She's gone". Daryl sank to the floor and cried. My face dropped at the thought...... Emma... Gone... There are two words I never thought I would hear in my lifetime. .

I froze a little as thoughts raced through my head.

He looked up at me and mumbled. "It's all my fault... Emma would still be here if I had kept my promise and protected her...... I failed as a brother.... I promised when she was little I would always protect her and I failed". His voice had risen slowly.

"Its not your fault". I ran a hand through my hair. "You haven't failed as a brother either...... She loves you so much and we will find her". I said supportively . "Come get some rest we have a long day tomorrow".

With that he pulled a bag to the floor rested his head on it an fell asleep. I soon joined him on the floor and let sleep kick in.
