A Dixon Sister?

Chapter 18

Time skip. <Almost a Year>

Emma POV

It had been a few months since we lost the farm......I don't know how many. We had survived the winter which was cold and horrible. My eye had healed and left on cool as Fuck scar. Lori was very pregnant and we still couldn't find anywhere to stay. So we where on the road..... Again clearing houses and staying in them for an hour before having to run away. Carl had become a good shot with a gun and Sophia was amazing at throwing knives. We had found two gun silencers and we had a whole arsenal of silent weapons.

We where clearing a house just off the highway and me and Daryl were clearing upstairs. My bow was loaded and ready to fire and so was Daryl's crossbow. He kicked on of the doors open and sitting inside the room were two plump Owls. I shot one and Daryl shot the other and we Walked down stairs plucking the Two birds of their feathers. I put my bow and my arrow in my quiver.

Everyone finished clearing the house and Lori, Carol, Maggie, Sophia, Carl, Herschel and Beth came in the house. We all sat in what used to be someone's living room as Carl looted the kitchen. He came in with two cans of dog food. He started opening them. Rick walked over and picked up one of the cans. He looked at the label and threw it into the fire place. I carried on plucking my Owl. T-dog looked out of the window and whistled....... Shit.... Walkers.

We all grabbed something and ran out of the house. We got into the cars and i got on the back of the motorbike with Daryl. We drove off and left the walkers behind. We stopped in the middle of the road and set some watch guards while Rick figured out where to go next. We all stood around a car and looked at a map. There was big red circles and lines all over it.

"Where do we go now". I asked.

"The only thing left is to double back and go through where". Rick pointed a path around the map.

"But we've done that already..... I feel like we have been traveling in circles all winter". T-dog said.

"I know...... but we need to find somewhere and fast....... we leave at noon". Rick looked at Lori. Herschel said that she could give birth any day now. So we needed to find somewhere were the baby could live a life and not have to see the things we have seen.

"ok then.... Is it cool if we go fill up on water at the stream". T-dog asked already grabbing his bags.

"Knock your self out". Rick said.

"Not literally though". I joked. The group never laughed any more....... we just kind of showed no emotion.

Rick and Herschel started talking about something and I went and stood by Daryl.

"I'm gonna ask Rick if I can go hunting..... you wanna come". He asked.

"Yeah sure". I answered.

Daryl finished what he was doing with the motorbike and walked over to Rick. I followed.

"Yo Rick....while the others are off washing their panties can me and Em go hunting..... that Owl didn't really hit the spot". Daryl asked.

"Stay within shouting distance". Rick said we nodded and walked off into the woods.

I loved times like this...... It was quiet and I got to spend time with my brother. We walked around looking for tracks on the floor when I tripped over something. I fell face first onto the floor.

"Shit". I cursed as I got up and brushed myself off.

"Are you ok". Daryl asked. He snickered a bit and walked over.

"Yeah im fine just tripped on my own feet". I stopped brushing myself down and looked up. There it was...... Somewhere we could call home. Daryl was looking the other way. "Daryl come here and look at this". I called him over.
