Chapter two
"Ill beat you to death Ed"
Maddison POV

It was the next morning, Daryl would be back soon. I just put on my clothes (same outfit as last chapter) and walked out of the tent. I look up and notice Rick talking to a distressed looking Lori, he must be telling her. It was quiet and then It wasn't when we heard Carl and Sofia scream, and yell for their moms. I pulled my knife and ran along with Rick, Shane, Dale, Glenn, and Moralez. We ran forward and around a bush and all stop. It was a Walker. "A walker this close to camp?" I ask quietly, a little panicked. I felt an arm wrap around mine and look to see Amy. It turns and starts to get up thats when all the men gang up on it and start beating it. I was amused to say the least, then Dale chopped its head off. Ew, I grimace as it rolled to my feet. "What are they doing this close to camp?" Amy asks scared. "Running out of food in the city probably, now they are starting to migrate country side." I say. We all raise our weapons when we hear rustling but sigh in relief when Daryl stepped out. "NO! That's my damn deer. Been tracking it for miles," He says pulling his arrows out of it. "Was gon drag it back to camp, cook us up some venicine." He says. Im so glad he made it back safe, I couldn't handle losing both of them. He says and then starts kicking the walker a string of curse words, and nasty names was said with every kick. I shake my head amused. "What you think sis, cut around this chewed up part?" He asks. "Nah man, it's lost." I say. He nods defeated and stands up. Me and Amy step back and gasp, Amy grimaces as the walker head snaps it's jaws. "What the hell people?" Daryl says shooting it with an arrow. "It's gotta be the head, don't ya'll know nuthin?" He says. "Well, I got about a dozen squirl or so, that'll have to do!" He says flinging his squirle over his shoulder. Here we go.

"Hey, big brother," I start raising my hand to the others signaling to let me tell him! but Daryl ignores me amd just starts yellin. "MERLE GET UR UGLY ASS OUT HERE, GOT US SOME SQUIRRLE LETS STEW EM' UP!" He yells, tossing the squirle on a table. "Big brother!" I say lounder, he turns and looks at me. "What's up Maddy?" He says messing with the squirrle. "Stop for a second okay." I say. He stops and looks at me seriously once he hears my tone. "Merle, he didn't make it back." I say. "He dead?" He asks after a short pause. "Not sure." Rick says behind me when i hadnt answered. "Who're you?" He asks full of attitude. "Rick Grimes." He says. "Alright Rick Grimes, what you mean not sure? Either is or he ain't." He asks. "He was putting the group in danger." I start. "I handcuffed him to a piece of metal, on a roof." Rick says. "and?" He says. "and I dropped the key man." T says. "Couldn't pick it up?" he yells. "Down a drain." I say. "If thats supposed to make me feel better it don't." He says, making me let out a sigh. "Daryl, he's still there, we gotta go get 'im" I say. His chest was heaving fast as he paced a bit. "Let me process this, You handcuffed our brother to a roof? AND YOU LEFT HIM THERE?" He yells. No one said anything else. "Just tell me where he's at, so's I can go get'em." Daryl says sounding tired. "He'll show you, aint that right?" Lori says by the RV. "Yeah, I'm going back." He says. "Woah hold on man, you just got back." Shane says. "A walker just showed up to camp man we need our people, you, here!" Shane says. "Seem's like what you people need is more guns." Rick says. "Thats right, the guns." Glenn says. "Plus I can't just leave that man up there to die." He says. "Even if it is Merle Dixon." He adds. Shane was pissed that was clear. "So whats the plan man, just gonna go out there all by yourself just you and the Dixon's? Is that your plan?" He yells. I roll my eyes. He was quiet and looked to Glenn. "Oh, come on." He groans. "You said so yourself, you know the city best, I'd feel better with you there." He says. "Great thats four of our people." Shane says. "Five." T-dog says. "No way, Maddy!" Amy says. "Amy I have to!" I say. "She's right, you gotta stay here, case I don't make it back with Merle. I need you safe!" Daryl says. I sigh but agree non the less. "Fine." I say upset. "Great so four of you, thats four less people to protect this camp man." Shane says. "We need the guns Shane! especially with the walkers moving up into the Mountains." I comment. He looked desperate trying to convice him to stay, he needed to chillout. Amy came up beside me and interlocked our fingers. I gave it a light squeeze as she was pulling me away from the group.
