Daryl's POV
Annabelle was laying beside me, her soft snores filling the small tent. She was beautiful. I would never admit to anyone that I loved her. When I first saw her, I thought she was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I've always known I was attracted to her but after she told me about her dad and I told her about my mom, I realized I've never opened up to someone because I don't trust anyone. But I trust her. I couldn't help it, I had to kiss her. She looked so perfect with the moonlight shining on her face. Listen to me. If Merle could hear me right now, he'd knock me out.
When she told me what Shane did to her, I wanted to kill him and I still do but she would never forgive me if I did. I didn't want her sleeping alone last night after what happened.
During the middle of the night I beat the shit out of Shane and told him to leave Annabelle alone. Rick must have heard me because he stopped me just in time. If he didnt show up I probably would've killed Shane.
Suddenly her eyes opened. They found their way straight to me. A big smile appeared on her face.
"Morning." She reached over and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Did you sleep well?"
"For the most part."
She had another nightmare last night. After I woke her up and made sure she was back asleep I went and found Shane.
"I talked to Rick last night. You, me, him, Carl, Andrea, Lori, Carol, and Shane are going to look for Sophia today."
Her eyes widened. "Shane?" She asked.
"Yeah. I dont like it either but Rick and Shane are going by themselves so don't worry. We better get ready and packed up."
"Ok." She nodded.
I could tell she was worried. We walked out of the tent and I immediately saw Shane. It was dark last night so I didnt see the damage I did to him. It was bad. He had a black eye, his lip was busted, and the right side of his face was swollen. Annabelle gasped and put her hand over her mouth. She looked at me and I could tell she knew I had something to do with it.
"Daryl. What did you do to him?"
"He deserved that. Did you forget he tried to rape you?"
"No."
"Listen, I'm sorry but I had to do something. You're lucky I didnt kill him."
Lori came out of her tent and when she saw Shane she ran over to him and it looked like she kept asking what was wrong but he wouldn't tell her. I knew about those two and their little fling. After what he did to Annabelle I thought about telling Rick.
I walked over to Shane and Lori. "What happened Shane?" I smirked.
He glared at me. "I don't know Daryl. I guess I'm just clumsy."
Lori looked between the two of us. "You better tell me what happened."
"It's not important." I walked off.

Annabelle's POV
"Alright. We'll head this way and you guys go this way." Rick pointed in the direction we were going.
I stood next to Daryl, Shane was right in front of me. I was relieved that he was going with Rick. T-dog and Dale were staying behind.
"Mom, can I go with Dad and Shane?" Carl asked Lori.
"I don't know." Rick stopped Lori before she could say anything.
"Come on, please!" Carl whined.
