Jessamine Dixon lives in the apocalypse

Strangers

We all were resting at a spot in the woods. Carl was feeding Judith, a bottle of water. 

"You want to feed her?" He asked and I shook my head.

"This is your time to shine as big brother Carl." I told him and leaned my head against the tree. I felt something hit my foot and I looked back up.

"You okay?" He asked and I nodded my head.

"Yeah." I told him and looked back. I was just thinking of all the people we lost.

A walker was walking towards us on the road and Michonne stepped forward.

"I got it." She said and went to reach for her katana but laughed when she realized it wasn't there. She grabbed the gun and swung up.

The rest of us continued walking while she took it out.

I sat down in front of the fire and had my knees to my chest. Something sat down beside me and I could tell it was Daryl because he set his crossbow down next to my stuff.

"Come here, you big lug." He said and then pulled me beside him. 

"You okay, over there?" I asked as he pulled me to his side.

"Mm-hm." He said and put his head on my shoulder. That's all he wanted. If I moved now he would just lay on top of me.

Except he was the one that later got up and left with his crossbow. Tara walked behind me and I turned towards her.

"Can you come here a second?" I asked and she stopped dead in her tracks. She slowly turned around and pointed at herself.

"Me?" She asked and I nodded my head. She suspiciously walked back and sat down next to me where Daryl had.

"Is there a reason that the queen of the group is requesting me?" She asked and I laughed. 

"You are not the first person to call me that." I said and looked back to the fire.

"It's because it's true." She said and I scoffed.

"I called you over here because I don't think I've gotten to properly talk to you yet." I told her and she nodded her head.

"Oh."She said.

"Yeah. I know that you didn't want to be there. I know when somebody doesn't want to be somewhere. You didn't even shoot, one bullet." I told her.

"Yeah, it was more because of my sister and stuff." She said and I nodded my head.

"I'm glad your here." I told her and she looked at my shocked. I turned my head towards her confused.

"Did the queen of the group just tell me Tara that she's glad I'm here?" She asked and I chuckled.

"Yeah, she did. You saved my best friend and there's nothing I can do to re-pay that except, I guess as the queen call you a friend." I told her and she shrugged her shoulders.

"He saved my life, too." Tara said and I nodded my head.

"That's because that's what this group does. Welcome, to your new wacky family." I told her with a smile.

"If you'll want to?" I asked her and she nodded her head. Tara put her hand up in a fist and I grinned at her.

"Oh, yes, we're definitely becoming friends." I told her and hit my fist on hers.

I was walking by Rick and Carl when we heard something and everybody put weapons up. Daryl came walking from behind a tree carrying a squirrel. I quickly put my weapon down as he looked at us in shock.
