Never Wake The Dead (TWD Fanfic)

***Chapter 7-Home at last***

We pull up to camp, and I pile out with my bags, I plan to set up the new tent I put in my bag from earlier too. It's a 10 man tent, I figured Andrea, Amy and me could share a tent. Amy runs into mine and Andrea's arms, "You scared the hell outta me" she cries, "Hey. It's gonna take alot more than that to take me down" I say, she laughs with tears down her face. Rick walks out from behind the car and I hear Carl scream "DAD!" and Rick points and starts crying, Carl runs into his arms and they both fall to the ground embraced in each others arms, Lori runs over and hugs him. I go to attempt to set up my tent, Daryl walks over to me, "Here. Let me help" he says, "Thanks" I say and turn to get the rest of my bags, I bring them over and add them to my pile I set up next to my tent, Daryl looks at the crossbow, "Ya know how ta shoot that?" he asks, "No. I was going to ask you to help me, when my arm heals of course" I say, "Speakin' of ya arm, what happened?" he asks, "Had a dispute with your brother. Nothing big" I say, "Ma brother did that to ya?" he asks trying not to sound upset, I sit silent, "Jade?" he says, I nod and he walks off. I put all my bags in my tent.

I write on a peice of paper, "Do Not Disturb" and hang it on my tent before zipping it up, and zipping the windows mostly up so no one can see what's inside. I have all 5 of my bags to sort, then it hits me, Shit. I have to get the 2 bags of guns from Glenn, I zip my bag back up and walk out, "Glenn?" I ask, "Yeah?" he replies, I lower my voice, "Can I see the 2 bags I gave you, Don't bring up what's inside yet, I want it to be a surprise" I say, "Oh yeah, sure, here" he hands them to me, I sling one over my shoulder and carry the other, "Thanks" I smile and walk back to my tent. I throw the bags inside and zip it back up, then I sit down, time to sort.

I have already went through 2 clothing bags and sorted them out according to gender and what they are, pants, shirts, blah blah blah. Then I laid them aside and went onto the next bag which was medical supplies, I emptied it and sorted them into the various pockets accordingly. Then the bag with the guns and knives, I laid them in piles according to what they were and count them, there's enough for everyone to have 2 of their choice with 2 magazines full of ammo, and one knife each. I throw them back in the bags and zip the bags back up, I go through the bag full of bow supplies. I grab out all of my arrows and spread them out across the table I have in the corner of my tent. I lay the 5 brand new boxes of fresh arrowheads out too, I leave the feathers in the bag for now, I don't need them just yet. I add some arrow heads to Daryl's bolts that I plan on giving him, I give him some "dagger tips" as I call them they are actually broad tips, and I give him some practice tips, and whatever other tips I have, I give him some extra tips in the little side zipper pouch of the quiver, I have a hip quiver and a shoulder quiver, I'll let him choose.

I sling the crossbow over my shoulder and grab the quivers, I cover up the bag of guns with my other bags, and go to find Daryl. "Hey, can we take a walk?" I ask, "Uh, yeah, sure" he says, "Grab your bow, we can go hunting" I say, "I wasn't gonna leave without it" he jokes, and we dissappear into the woods.
I didn't quite know how to strike a conversation with him so I walked silently, I don't know why or how but he makes me feel some type of way. "So, we went on a run today" I start, "I see and I know you got yerself a crossbow, eh?" he jokes, "Yeah, I just looked at this beauty just sittin' there, and I had to pick her up. She's got the 10 position red dot scope, with 175 pullback, and its a Horton" I say, he stops walking, I turn towards him, "Your just full a surprises, aren't ya?" he jokes, "Yeah, I guess. But honestly you've hardly scratched the surface" I say, he smiles, "Ya know, Jade, I'd really like ta get ta know ya more" he says, I smile, "That can be arranged" I say with a smirk, "Hey, what kind of quiver do you prefer?" I ask, "I usually just keep em' on ma bow, why?" he asks, "Cause I got you some bolts and 2 quivers for your crossbow, and in exchange I wanted you to teach me how to shoot it, my compund isn't quite strong enough to kill walkers and I want something that does and is on the quiet level" I say handing him the bolts and the 2 quivers. He smiles at me, "Thanks, you didn't have to. I would've taught ya for free" he says, "But I did" I say, "And there's no returns" I add. He examines the bolts, "These heads are great" he says, "I'm glad you like it" I say. "Eh, can I see your bow?" he asks, "Yeah" I say. He takes a step closer to me and pulls the bow over my shoulder, then he leans in, I lean up and he softly kisses me, he gently lays my bow on the ground and his hands find my hips and my hands wrap around his neck. This walk couldn't have went any better.
