(Read the first book "Daughter of a Dixon" first!)
Daryl Dixon lost both his brother, and his daughter in the same day. To him, and everyone else, Rick and Sidney were both dead. Rick, gone in an explosion. And Sidney, just disappeared without a tra...

"Um... you don't actually expect me to, uh, put that on my face, right?"
Alpha stared at me wordlessly, extending a walker mask to me. I had been untied from the tree, but my arms were still bound behind my back, which I expected.
"No," Alpha said to me, "I expect you to let us put it on for you."
Then, she stepped closer to me with the mask, reaching above my head. I instinctively stepped back, wanting to put as much distance between me and that walker face as possible. Of course, someone was behind me, grabbing me around the shoulders so I could no longer resist.
I writhed in place as the mask was slid over my face, and the smell was absolutely horrendous. The sliminess of the inside of the skin lathered itself onto my skin, and the feeling and smell combined caused me to gag.
"Oh, come now," Alpha said in a motherly tone. "It's not that bad..."
I responded by gagging again, and fighting back bile in the back of my throat.
"Well... you'll get used to it," she said, and nodded her head to the side, indicating for the person behind me to release me. He did so and I stumbled forward, bending forward and trying not to breathe in too deeply.
"We walk in ten minutes," Alpha said, and then sauntered off.
After I collected myself and became semi-nose blind to the smell, I stood up to my full height, pacing around and kicking at the dirt on the ground. I was already beginning to plot my escape from this sadistic crew. I had no intentions of respecting them or submitting to them, and I didn't mind making that blatantly obvious.
Right before we started 'walking' (or whatever they meant by that) I saw Beta glaring at me from a distance, giving me a death glare from behind his mask. I turned and glared right back at him, not bowing down at all.
I got his attention, and he strode over to me, angry, as he always was. "We walk now," he growled at me, and grabbed me by the shoulder, "You walk with me."
"Wow, I can't put into words how honored I feel," I said sarcastically. "I just might cry, and totally not from the horrifying stench of this mask."
Beta growled at me, extending a hand and grabbing me by the front of my shirt. He yanked me closer to his face, and I felt my feet leave the ground. "You will learn..." he snarled, "to obey."
I wrinkled my nose, shaking my head at him thoughtfully. "I really doubt it," I said fearlessly.
He made a face of pure disgust before throwing his hand off me, dropping me back to the ground with a heavy thud. After that, he grabbed me by the back of my shirt and began ushering me forward, shoving me with each step.
