~Haley's P.O.V.~
By the next day I did the same thing for almost half the day. I looked up at the sky and noticed where the sun was. It was about noon. And hot as hell. I walked back into the cell block. I left to my cell but saw Daryl sitting there on the top of the stairs fixing his crossbow. I walked up to him and squatted down next to him
"Look I know you basically hate me but I'm trying to nice. You want to be an asshole fine by me I can be a bitch back no problem" I scolded with a straight tone. I stood up and began to walk down the stairs
"Wait"
I stopped in my tracks and turned around
"I'm sorry alright"
"Look Daryl I'm just trying to get to know everyone here. Everyone's let me in. Why haven't you?" I asked going back down squatting next to him
"I don't let anyone in aight" He said with his accent. I'm not sure what kind it was
"I get it. But some day you have to let someone in"
He looked at me and I'm guessing thought "Let's go for a walk"
He took his crossbow, put it behind his back as he stood up. I followed him as he walked outside and stopped at the courtyard. He had on hand on the strap where he hung the crossbow on his back.
~Daryl's P.O.V~
Once we walked out to the courtyard I stopped
"This world has gone to hell"
"You got that right" She said looking out
"That's why I never let anyone in"
"Because of what this world has come to?" She asked
I began walking and she followed me walking next to me
"I open up to someone and the next day they could be one of them" I said pointing at the walkers
"You don't know that"
"I ain't ever sure of anything anymore" I said
"I do" She looked straight ahead and I looked at her
I scoffed "How do you know you ain't gonna die tomorrow and come back as one of those bastards?"
"I don't" She looked at me "But I do know one thing Daryl Dixon"
The hell, did she just say my full name, I didn't even tell her my last name
"I'm not afraid"
"Everyone's afraid of somethin" I said
She clears her throat and chuckles "That's where your wrong Daryl. You just think your scared. But your first instinct is protect yourself from any danger. That's when you know, your not scared when you protect yourself"
She walked away from me slowly. That girl was a mystery, it was weird. I wanted to know more about her. I began walking after her when Rick called out
"You mind going on a run, we have supplies but we need to be safer then sorry"
I nodded "Say no more"
Rick nodded
"I will take Haley with me" I said before he spoke again
He nodded
I walked in and found Haley in her cell, she was sitting down. She looked up at me
"Let's go, we're going on a run" I walked out and grabbed my things. I walked outside and turned on the motorcycle making sure it had gas. It didn't damn I thought. I began walking to find fuel when Rick approached me
"Why don't you take the truck today"
I nodded "Alright"
"Becareful"
I nodded and he walked to the gate to open it for us. Haley walked out with her bow in her hand and her arrows strapped to her back. She had her knife in the holder on her upper leg and her gun in the holder on her hip. I turned on the small car and she hoped on. I stepped on the gas and went for the gate. Rick opened it for us and I drove out as he closed it behind him.
I drove through the streets. It was silent in the car. I passed walkers who were walking on the side of the road. We made it to the town and got down our bags. We walked to a store and highered our weapons. She pushed the door open and we both began walking in slowly on high alert
"Stay close" I said as we both went separate ways. I watched her as she walked away. I have to admit she was cute and even more with that bow and arrow. I shook my head. Come on Daryl stay focused, I thought. I grabbed what I could and I heard her doing the same. I was done and I walked up to her slowly. She was still stuffing whatever she could in her bag
"Shhh" I said as she abruptly stopped
Everything went silent expect I heard something that was familar. The groans and growling
"Shit" They were getting louder and louder
"Come on let's go" I said
She closed her bag and frantically strapped it on her back. I ran quietly out of the store and she followed close behind. We ran out to relieve a herd of walkers. They were surrounding the truck, there was no way of getting in the car
"How many clips you got left?" He asked
"One, with 6 bullets"
"Not enough, we gotta go" I said as I left and began running. She followed close behind as the walkers continued our way. We ran and ran on the street not knowing where we were going
"This way" I directed as I ran straight into the woods. We ran for awhile until I turned around and noticed they weren't in sight. We slowed down catching our breath
"Damn it"
I looked at her "What?"
"I only have six bullets left" She said as she put in her last clip in the gun
"We gotta get back to the prison"
"We won't make it back in time. It's gonna get dark soon" I said
"I will get firewood" She said as she walked away
I looked around and went out hunting for squirrel. I caught two squirrels and headed back. She already had fire going. I roasted the squirrels and began eating. She simply stared at me I'm guessing in disgust.
"What?" I asked annoyed
"Aren't you gonna share?"
I was surprised everyone I know is disgusted by this. I grabbed the other squirrel and gave it to her. She began chomping down on it. Never thought I would meet a girl like this again. We sat in silence as the night and darkness came by. The fire was the only light we had. We had finished the meat and now we were just sitting by the fire starting into it
"You got family?" I asked
"Had. My sister died not to long ago. Parents died when I was little"
When she mentioned her sister dying not that long ago I couldn't help but feel bad for her. I looked at her and saw the sadness in her eyes as she spoke about them
"You?" She asked
"Parents dead. Brother I'm not sure but I know he's alive"
"How are you so sure?"
"Went things went to hell. We were camping up in Atlanta. The group went to the city to get supplies, I didn't go. They came back and I found out Rick tied his hand and handcuffed him to a pipe on the roof. The next day we went back to that roof to get him and he was gone"
"Gone?"
"He cut off his hand, we found out later that he sealed the wound by using a knife, he burned the edge of it and sealed it" I explained
"And you think he's alive?"
"I know it"
"Thanks"
"For what?" I asked eyeing her
"Being nice to me for once. You've been a jackass since I met you"
I scoffed "Get some sleep. I will keep watch"
She sighed as she laid down. I looked out at the woods. After awhile I looked back at her, her eyes were closed and her lips were perfectly a lined. Her hair was pulled up into a ponytail. She slept so peacefully. I liked her being around. I wanted to get it know her. Which was weird because I never really liked anyone. I mean the group back at the prison, they are family. But her, she's different, a good different.
