'Unlikely Heroes' :The Walking Dead - Daryl Dixon

CH5: "Day at the Camp"

 Nico fumbled  a wrapping between her  fingers as she undid a Twinkie , she soon a satisfied little bite.   She was pretty sure these things could last forever. Daryl was right on the next branch as her . He rubbed his eyes , looking at Nico who was swinging her legs and eating her food. "Is that a Tinkie?!"he asked, Nico grinned  with food in her mouth .

" These things never go bad!"she said with a laugh. 

" Found a stash of them in Philadelphia , that was a wild ride! "she said . Daryl shook his head " Oh yeah?" he mumbled still sleepy, suddenly he jolted at the sound of moaning and groaning . A Z spotted them and now stared running , must have been a newly turned or at least one that still had an adrenaline jolt in him." Shit!" he said , Nico seemed unphased .She chuckled. " Relax , give me a second!"she said , stuffing the twinkie in her mouth and holding it there. She pulled out a slingshot and some gears from her pocket .  She strung it up and  loaded it , pushing back and aiming at the Walker who  jolted for the tree. He was a good  dozen yards away, Nico got him straight in the head , Daryl rose his eyebrows. he had to admit that this was very inventive ad efficient killing . He looked at the sling shot and then the owner , he had to admit there was a certain level of charm in that creativity made made him smirk in amusement .

 " Two thousand four hundred and forty one !"she said proudly  flipping the slingshot in her fingers, her treat still in her mouth. "Show of!"said Daryl, jumping down. Nico chuckled slightly  "omph!"she struggled, tripping slightly . She couldn't almost feel the bubble of her arrogance burst as she stumbled down onto  the groaned - plummeting straight down  onto Daryl.

"Fuck!" he barked, Nico plummeted straight down onto him, landing chest to chest. " Watch it bitch!" he snarled again . Nico just laughed, her face buried in his chest . It's been a long while since she had genuently laughed like that, in an innoccent manner rather then at killing something in a fun way. " Talk about a ..rough landing!" she said , howling with laughter that was muffed in Dary's chest. Daryl was confused, either of them were hurt so he couldn't say much but never the less he was still angry at how careless she was being. She lifted herself up , still perfectly positioned on top of him, still chuckling slightly to look at  Daryl's scoul.  Before he could grunt again she held out half a twinkie that she broke of. Daryls face soften at the sight of Nico's , now very different, face.  Wrinkled from a wide grin , eyes sparkling, twinkie crums on the side of her lips. Almost like there was no apocalypse to begin with. He took the piece of food and stuffed it in his mouth , for a moment just kinda giving up. Just give up now, there was no point,he knew if he was going to bark at her she wouldn't care and just giggle- he wasnt a good judge of character but for some reason he could judge hers fairly well. There was a certain level of compatibility that was refreshing , he didn't have to  double think on matters. Even thou the things she did annoyed him at times it felt nice for ones to approach it straight forward. 

He sighed and pushed her of him with a grunt. Nico rolled to the side  and the  pulled herself up . Daryl dusted himself of with slightly embarrassment, Nico just lay there out of sheer lack of will to be bothered.

 "Where did that stinckin' son of the  bitch come from?"he asked ones they got up and ready , spitting onto the ground , shooting an arrow at a raccoon that ran from his hidding spot in fear of Daryls voice . He picked up his kill and looked around , out of the corner  one Walker jumped at him "I got it!" she said , taking out her bat and swing  it   right in the head.  The two worked oddly well together. " Two thousand four hundred and forty two!"she said , swinging the bat.  Daryl was confused , "You keep doing that, counting!"he said, turning his head at her . Nico  flipped the bat around. " Ma' kill count" , "That's a whole lot of walkers!"he said, putting his crossbow down - still a little taken back at that number. Nico nodded , she noticed him looking at the bat.  "You start with an aluminium bat and then you customise it, spikes on the top half and on the top of the bat. Spikes long enough to kill the brain but not long enough to get stuck that ya got to drag the thing and yank it out!" she said with a  child-like smile. He shook his head " Look's like it has seen alot of action!" said Daryl , Nico just chuckled.
