"Why didn't you tell me you had an uncle?" Carl asked, obviously flustered.
"He was never in my life," I bluntly replied.
"What do you mean?" He asked, and I turned around to face him.
"He and my dad didn't get along. I said Daryl was 'dangerous' or something. I hadn't met him until now," I explained.
He nodded slowly, and a small smile crept onto his face.
"Well, I'm glad you found each other."
I woke up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes, getting dressed and walking out into the main room with a book tucked under my arm.
A few others were scattered throughout, some in the kitchen, some with Judith and the others packing some things.
"What're you guys packing for?" I asked the group.
"A few of us are going on a run today. Short on supplies," Daryl explained with his crossbow over his shoulder.
"Cool. Can I come?" I asked while on my way out the door.
"Sure. We're leaving in a bit. Carl's coming too," Rick said to me as I smiled at him and left the prison walls.

"We're going now, Carl. We have room for one more person," Rick said as we hurried to the cars.
As we arrived at an old Walmart, Rick spoke up, "find anything useful, and we'll meet back here soon," he said as we all separated.
We each had a duffel bag, and I started filling one with food that hadn't gone bad and the next with feminine stuff, shower stuff, and water bottles.
I met up with Daryl, and then we heard a car pull up, causing us to duck low to the ground in fear of getting caught. I heard multiple gunshots close by.
"What do we do?" I asked as I looked behind me, and Daryl was gone.
The next thing I knew, I felt excruciating pain in my thigh, and it all went black.
I woke up in a dark room. My leg was throbbing, and I was dizzy. The door opened, but I couldn't see who it was. The figure walked closer so I could see him better, and it was a man who laughed when he came closer.
