"Daryl!" I almost screamed his name in excitement. I wasn't expecting to find him right after that nightmare. Im in his arms and im almost suffocating in his grip, but I didn't care, I have my brother back. "Hailey ive missed you so much" he said into my neck. I think I heard his voice crack while saying that. He let go and as soon as I got a glimpse at his face, it flushed from happiness, to anger. "Where'd you go four years ago?!" he almost yelled in my face. He didn't know what happened so he thinks its my fault now. "Daryl I didnt run away or-" I was cut off by his voice. "Then what happened" his voice was a mix of anger and sadness. I hesitated a few moments and just let it out. "Dad".

His face turned tomato red and ran up to a tree and punched it so hard his knuckles were bleeding. "What did he do to you!" he was now yelling with pure anger in his voice. "He-" I hesitated again. "He knocked me out with a baseball bat, then I woke up in a forest with my bow that you bought me. Thats all I remember. The douche abandoned me in the forest with my bow to survive on my own". I could tell he was furious about what happened between me and the man all of us Dixon kids hated. "Im sorry I couldnt protect you, it-" I cut him off right away "No... dont blame this on yourself. Dad did it, this had nothing to do with you. Its not your fault" I said quietly.

Just then I heard the bushes ruffle and Immediately had my bow at the ready. "Ill go look" Daryl said quickly. I shot him the 'no' look and headed towards the noise. As soon as I make my way over, the thing jumps out of the bushes and then I realize the thing I am about to shoot is a deer. I shoot it in the head almost instantly and retrieve my arrow. "Eating good tonight" I say with a grin on my lips. I go to turn around and there stands another deer. Again I shoot it almost instantly and then I realize it. Ive never had the chance to eat this good in ages. Literally.

Daryl stands there shocked and I give him a confused look. "How-" he hesitated a little. "How did you do that?" I says confused again. "Do what?". " You just shot down two deer in less then 5 seconds" he says with a grin. 'Im proud too Daryl' I say in my head. I then thought of what to say next. "Well, I was taught by the best" I winked and threw the one deer over my shoulder. "Can you get the other deer?" I say looking over my shoulder. "Yea" he says with a smile from ear to ear. he lifts it up and he starts to walk. "Where we goin'" I asked curiously. "I-I have a group"he says like hes emmbarrassed. "And im just supposed to go there and act like im part of the group? how do you know Ill be accepted?" I shoot back.

"Im sure he'll let my own sister stay... thats like saying his own son has to leave and go alone in the forest. He'll let you stay" he said shakily. I was just not caring.... Im a Dixon. Dixons dont take shit. That thought made me smile and Daryl noticed as we both slow down infront of a cabin. It was gettin dark so we decided to camp out somewhere. We found a small bunk bed and as soon as I saw it I yelled "I call top!" Daryl shook his head while laughing then punched my shoulder playfully. "What ever you say my Queen"... after that we both laughed and got comfy on our beds.

"Hey Daryl..." I said quietly." Yea?" he answers. "What happened to Merle, where is he?" my voice was shaking and the thought of him gone would tear me to pieces. "We were together, but he went on a run and he didnt come back. Thought he was gone. But when Rick said he handcuffed him to the roof, I thought my anger would kill everyone in the group, but I just tackled T-dog, the one who dropped the key to the cuffs". " Damn fool couldnt pick up the damn thing?!" I shout. "He dropped it down a drain" he says softly.

"Fucking ass, is Merle still there?" i said. "Oh no this was a while ago, we went back for him but when we got there all that was there was his hand". I sat there in shock. Merles a fuckin trooper! I hear snoring 10 minutes later under me and that was when I decided I should go to sleep aswell.

I woke up to the smell of...squirrel. Oh I love cooked squirrel, ever since the first day in the forest alone ive lived off squirrel and rabbit... little things like that. It was miracle everytime I found a deer. Which I caught two yesterday. Two miracles in five seconds. I headed towards the smell amd was standing outside in the backyard infront of a fire lit by Daryl. "Smells good" I say with a grin. He grinned back and said "I thought we should both be well fed on the way to the prison". I gave a confused look. A prison? "A prison? Daryl I knew this time would come for you... but in this world?" I say then we both started to laugh.

I finished my squirrel then realized why we hadnt eaten the deer." Daryl what about the deer?" I asked slowly trying to get bits of meat outta my teeth. He looked at me and I stared into those sky blue eyes I missed dearly. "I thought Id take them back to the group and we would have a nice dinner all together. All thanks to you, you shot the deer and theres a more reason you would be able to stay. Your hunting skills also" he said inbetween bites of meat. My face lit up at his compliments. I was never this good before this hell hole. But now Im .... unbelievable.I loved it when people noticed my hunting skills. Before this, when Daryl took me hunting, we met up with this boy. His name was Trevor.

Trevor was my bestfriend and he basically drooled over my hunting skills. I wonder what he would do if he saw my hunting skills now. He'd probably drop at my knees and bow. I think Id pay money to see that. I missed Trevor so much and we've been friends for 5 years before my dad dumped me like a dead body. "Hailey?" I hear Daryl say. "What?" Daryl backed up and sat down. "You were out in space. Whats bothering you?" I hesitated a moment. "Do you know what happened to Trevor?" It came out so quick I didnt even know what I said for a few seconds. "I uh-" He stopped when we both heard a groaning noise behind him. I quickly grabbedy crossbow from my shoulder amd shot the walker before Daryl could even blink. "how-" he started but I cut him off. "I dont even know" I said quickly.He already asked me how I do it so fast and I already answered. A grin pulled his lips and we packed up. We put the deer on our shoulders and started to the prison.

(I didnt get 5 reads or votes, but I decided that maybe if I made the story longer, and more interesting the further it got, that maybe id get more votes and comments. That means more writing(: more books as well... hopefully you guys like it so far. I will also take any ideas you guys want in the book now or later on so im open to any ideas of new characters or new problems regarding their home. Comment!!)
