'Unlikely Heroes' :The Walking Dead - Daryl Dixon

Ch2 : " We come in peace "

Shane was beginning to get restless- Daryl and Merle weren't back yet . It wasn't like he cared about the two men , by far : they were wild cards -unable to follow command and violent but if they died in the woods then their only hunter was zombie chow and it meant that this place wasn't safe anymore.It was quiet and soundless, a little too quite for Shane's like- he was growing more paranoid by the moment , more enforcing and more dominant. Lori walked past Shane , putting her hand onto his shoulder. This group has gone  further then alot of poeple - they managed to keep the casualties for a low and keep everyone fed : for now.

"Relax Shane ", she said , mastering as much confidence and worry for him . She watched the kids play , Sophia and Carl were just beginning to really hit it of , it brought a smile to her face and it gave her hope that maybe they can live a peaceful life.

"Shane , SHANE", Carols voice echoed , she heard someone coming and it didint sound like the soundless steps of Daryl and the heavy stumps of Merle. Shane turned and Lori pushed back , her eyes imprinted at the location where the sound was coming from . Shane loaded his gun , waiting for his target. "Yo ,we come in peace y'all!" shouted Doc while Nic was heard groaning under the weight of Merle , dragging his sorry body out of the woods  at the cost of her stamina.  Most poeple would have left them for dead, killed the both and took their weapons  Nico and DOc would have found that camp anyway , Nico would have tracked their steps. These people weren't as carefull as they should be .

And yet here she is , dragging that sorry , stinking , hunk of meat out of the woods. At this point pulling both brothers . Was that heroic? Maybe . Was that smart? That's a definite no. Was it stupid ?   Ohhhhhhh yeah.

"What happened?" asked Carol , abandoning her cooking and running towards the scene. Shane's eyes dashed towards Nico and Doc "Who- who are you?"he asked, his gun still ready . "Put the gun down Shane! He needs help!" Lori screeched , Merle might have been an asshole but right now he was just a wounded man. Nico and Daryl gently layed the man down as Carol and Lori focused on cleaning his wound.  Nico took a deep breath - didn;t know poeple could still weigh as much as Merle did now a days.

"What in the damm hell happened?" asked Shane in an agitated matter, more people soon approached: an elder gentle man and two girls, as a matter of fact most of the group were here . " We got ambushed by those damm ,rotten , pieces of decayed shit!" he said , spitting on the ground. Nico couldn't help but find him oddly opinionated to her joy but she kept that to herself for now . " 'bout over a dozen", he said . Shanes attention turned to Nico " These two yahoos happened to be near by to shave a few of , they helped me carry Merle" he said , turning his stare as Nico , who returned it with a coy ,smug smile. Waving ehr hand slightly - " Not my first time carrying 180 pounds of idiot up a hill" she said with a wild grin , Daryl scowled at her but she returned an innocent gaze with a hint of untouchable smugness. Before he could return an equal word Dale interrupted.Daryl was definetly not happy with her tone but at the same time he didn't really blame her but that wasnt the question at hand . He was slightly impressed thou , she hasnt slapped his brother yet and for a woman that was quiet an accomplishment of strength of will in his  experience.

"Whats your name little one?" asked Dale, unaware of the girls age or name or even attitude. Before answering with a broken temper on Nicos side , Doc heard a deep moan . It looked like Merle was gaining full consciousness " The fuck" ,yet another opinionated voice made it's way into everyone's radar. Daryl knelled to his brother and looked at Nico , she smiled "Told you he would be fine."  she amused.Merle rubbed his head and the bandage that was around it , he looked up at Nico 

"Damm girl, how did that tiny ass of yours to make it in one piece?"he asked, referring to the fact that Nico carried him like he weighed nothing .Daryl just sighed in relieve, Nico noticed that look he gave his brother : the man was troubled and had alot on his shoulders when he dealed with his brother but Nico could see he cared about him- it reminded her about Rick and Bart, her own brothers.
