A Dixon Sister?

Chapter 9

Emma POV

When I woke up I could see a thin trickle of light coming through the window. It must have been earlier than yesterday when I woke up. Up got up quietly out of bed and went to the look out of the window. It was warm and the sun was rising. So i got dressed into my normal clothes of a black t-shirt under a green and blue plaid full length shirt, skinny jeans and my boots. I put my jeans over the top of my boots and tucked my laces in my shoes.

I walked down stairs and into the kitchen to find everyone already up. They where leaving the house when I came down. I walked over Maggie who was at the back I asked her what was going on. She said that everyone was going to Otis' funeral and that I should come as well. I walked with Maggie to the place where they had piled a lot of stones for Otis' grave. Everyone said a few words and I bowed my head memory of Otis and his friendship to me. Patricia asked Shane to say something about Otis' last moments but Shane refused. I glared at Shane for a moment but he looked at me and I turned my head quickly.

The funeral had finished and I went towards the stables. But was suddenly stopped by someone grabbing my arm and spinning me around..... It was Shane.

"What do you want dickhead". I said harshly while pulling my arm from his grip.

"Why where you glaring at me at Otis' funeral". He raised his voice.

"I was glaring at you cos number one you are wearing Otis' clothes". I growled as I looked at the clothes I saw Otis in the first time we met. "And number two is you denied a wife her husband's last moments alive". I shouted and walked off.

I just wanted to have some peace so I could mourn for my friend in peace. I found of a group of trees a small walk away from the house and I just flopped on the floor underneath them. I was laying on the grass under some trees. Until I heard the familiar sound of a motorbike. I got up and ran towards the house.

And sitting in front of the white farm house was Daryl on Merle's motorbike.

"DARYL". I shouted shocked.

He looked at me, got off the bike and ran towards me. "EMMA". He shouted. We ran to each other and collided into a big hug. I cried into his shoulder and I swear he was crying too.

"I thought you were dead". I whispered in his ear.

"I thought you where two Em". His voice had broken.

I pulled away from the hug to see my brother's familiar face.

"I think the Dixon no crying rule has gone out of the window". I laughed.

"Yeah. Just for a second". He said in his ruff tone but also breaking a smile.

We where interrupted by Shane coming over and tapping Daryl on the shoulder. Daryl wiped the smile off his face and turned around. I could tell he was a bit pissed that someone had interrupted our family reunion, but it was also probably so he could keep up the harsh persona he was probably holding

"You know this girl". Shane said pointing at me like I was garbage.

"You know my name Shane now why don't you use it". I said annoyed while walking towards him.

"Emma calm down Shanes just being a dick". Daryl grabbed my arm and pulled me back gently. "Now how about we go and meet some nice people". Daryl mocked as Shane limped off.

"Lets do that". I said. I was happy to have my brother back.

Daryl introduced me to the rest of his group that I had not already met. There was Andrea, Dale and Carol. Andrea had lost he sister a few weeks ago and Carols daughter ran off when a walker chased after her.
