Walking The Dead Path! (A Daryl and Merle Dixon Fanfiction)

Chapter 23

~Sky POV~

I look at Daryl as Becca walk off, "did I do something?" He ask me, "we hate being told what to do....plus I think she confused right now"

"Confused? About what?"

"Girls thing, you would never understand" he just nod, then we heard her yelling, we didn't understand. Daryl, Andrea, me and Carol went. We seen her, she point to the footprints in the mud. "They look old but we didn't see them the yesterday" Daryl said, "we need to tell Rick" Andrea said, we all agree and went back to Dale, Carol wrote on her car window and left a blanket and food out just incase, Sophia come back. Becca, Andrea and Carol rode with Dale. I watch Daryl beside us riding along.

As we got to the barn everyone went their way, Dale and Daryl told Rick, Andrea....well I really didn't care, Becca hang out in the RV with Carol and I just walk up to Lori. "Hey, how he doing?"

"Alive, he alive" I seem she been crying. "What happen?"

She told me, what Rick and Shane told her. "If you want someone to talk to, I'm here but if I'm out and Becca is around, maybe she help" Lori nod her head, "thank you, you know I though you be a bad person. Going to steal from us or something but I see I was wrong" she said, I smile "never judge the book by its cover. I learn the hard way" I walk inside the house. Rick point me to the room where Carl was at. Rick look bad, sick, like he was losing his life. I learn he gave a lot of blood to Carl so he can live. I sit next to Carl, "hey there little man, it's me Sky. I heard what happen, listen when you get up, I promise Sophia be here." I seen him smile in his sleep, I smile and got up. I walk outside and seen Dale give Glenn the guitar. I walk over to the woods, "what are you doing?"

I heard a voice behind me, I look and seen she blonde hair girl. "Just looking, who are you?"

"I'm Beth Greene, this is my daddy land" I just nod and look back to the woods, I felt my stomach growling. I turn around and she was gone. I went over to the RV, I seen Glenn. "Hey Glenn let me know when you going into town. I want to go with you" he gave me an odd look, "you want to go to town with me?"

"Yeah, hoping I can find a tent for me and Becca. Plus grab couple of more stuff" he nod, "yeah, that be cool" he try to act cool, I put my hand on his shoulder. "Glenn, stop acting cool. The dorky you is cuter then the cool you" I walk away. I seen Rick talking to Shane and Daryl. "Tomorrow, we be in groups looking. Daryl, you and..."

"I'm going solo"

"But I wanted you, Becca and Sky..." Becca walk in "I'm be with my sister, I don't mind" I look at Rick, he was getting piss but he kept cool, something got me liking him cause of it. "Ok, Sky, Becca and..."

"Rick, how about this? Daryl is going solo, I have Becca and you have the rest of the group. Becca and I are faster together and we can track Sophia from the footprints earlier." I seen he was so weak, "Rick, you are in no good heath to search. Stay and rest up" Becca said, we look at Rick. "Fine but in couple of days, I be looking for her"

"In the mean time, let me, Becca and Sky handle this" I look at Daryl then back at Rick. He nod and walk off, I went and grab my Katana as Shane gave Becca a gun. We started off and Daryl went another way to look.

We reach the point, we follow until we lost the track, "shit, trail went cold. Keep you eyes open" I said "I'm not dumb Sky" I heard her say, "I didn't say you was" I look at her, "yeah you did, 'keep your eyes open' no, how about I close them"

"Why you acting a like bitch!?" I ask her, then it kick in. "O god, don't tell me you are PMSing right now!"

She roll her eyes, "we got to get back, until you are off. We search together!"

"No! I want to search for her right now!"

"Hell no! The dead can smell your blood! Dead give away!"

"So what we can't turn!"

"Doesn't mean they can rip us apart!"

"Stop acting like its a big deal!"

"Now you confusing me so you can win this fight! That not going to happen! To the farm we go!" I grab her arm but she end up slapping me. I gave her a look, I punch her. She jump on me and we roll around on top of each other fight. Until I had my katana at her throat, it felt like I black out or something. Like I didn't know what I was doing. She look at me, I bust her lip, I know she gave me a black eye. I stand up, "we are walking the dead path, you know. Death is around and it up to us. No not just us, the whole group stand together to make it come back alive. So Dorothy take of those red shoes because the yellow brick road is broken" I said, I walk away. "Sky..." I stop and turn my head "I'm sorry, just I'm scared....scared we won't find her alive, won't find David alive, you stealing Daryl, Daryl not loving me back" I chuckle, "one; we will find her alive, two; something told me David is already dead, three; I won't steal Daryl because....you love him, and four; Daryl does care about you. You just to blind to see it."

"What you mean blind?"

"Earlier, today when you smarted off at him because he didn't want you go by yourself"

"So, if it was Rick or Shane..."

"Because its their job, Daryl could care less if it was anyone else but you, he didn't want to lose you. If you learn to read the actions and their eyes you can see it. Now lets go, I finish up tomorrow of the search. Plus I'm starving"

She chuckle, "you not the only one"

We head back, Carol freak out over mine and Becca cuts. We told them what happen but they seen we are good now. I fell like I can trust them now, but Shane. I don't want to push no one away. It got dark fast and Carol, Andrea and Lori fix something to eat. Listening to Andrea bitch half the time, I went to where Daryl set up his tent. I fix his plate without anyone know but Becca so she won't get jealous. I seen him, sitting there looking up at the stars. "Hey you want something to eat?" I asked, he look at me. "Sure" I hand him the plate as he gave me an odd look "yeah, I fix your plate. So what?"

"Though you didn't love me but just like me"

"I do like you and not love you. Just Becca on the war path right now. I left her yelling at Andrea over something stupid" he started to eat, "I miss the stars, I miss the sound of crickets and..." He stop me by saying "what happen to you? The black eye and cuts all over you?"

"Becca and me had a small fight, nothing big or get worry over. Sometime, if we can't find the words, we fight until one of us almost dead. She put in the hospital 3 times and I put her in there 5 times but the rest we broke each other nose, arms. Hell one time she broke my leg and she didn't talk to me a year because she though I was going to kill her" he chuckle as he took his last bit. "Tomorrow night, how about you and Becca come over. I set up a fire and I gut some squirrels and you or Becca can cook them. Have our own little hang out and talk about the good ol' days plus talk about where we went on the search. Like the cold trail you and Becca end up at and fight" I gave him a look, "how you know our trail went cold?"

"If it was still hot, you two won't stop and fight...right?"

"Yeah, but could of token a break" he gave me a look, "you follow us didn't you?" He look at me with a smile, "listen she staying at the farm until a few days and started her search with me again. You don't have to worry about her. Don't even worry about me, got it"

"If Becca is Dorothy, what that make you?" He ask being a smart ass. "The fucking wicked witch of the south, that going give you hell." I walk away, heard him chuckle. I got back to the RV, Becca past out on the small couch. I smiled, seeing no one didn't do the dishes, so did them. I heard Becca saying something in her sleep but I only got one words, that was Daryl. I look in the back and see Carol laying there. I grab a pillow and blanket and lay on the floor next to Becca. I slowly fell asleep, some odd reason dreaming, I was in Wizard of Oz. Becca was Dorothy, Daryl was toto, Shane was the wicked witch of the west, as I was a new one of the south. Andrea a flying monkey, Rick was Oz, weird dream.
