After we came back from our search everybody were exited for the planed searching. We made places who go first. Daryl said that he want to go again but this time took a horse for searching Sophia. T-Dog teased Daryl because he believed in Cupacabras. Daryl walked pissed away to the stables. I went after him and saw how he saddled one horse.

"Hey.", I said.

"Hey.", he said back and ignore me.

"I wanna come with you!", I said and wanted to saddled one horse but he interrupted me with put his hand on my arm.

"No. I'll go alone!"

"No! Why should you do this? I want to help!", I riot.

"You help me by staying here in the camp and let me go alone. I'm faster if I'm alone."

"But four eyes see more then two."

"I said no and now shut the fuck up!", he groaned and sat on the horse. He urged me away and ride past me.

Fuckin' asshole. I sattled a horse and ride after him. In the forest I outrun him.

"What are you doing here?", he said angrily.

"I want to help you and I don't let you die alone!", I explained him.

"Youu.....", he said and got off the horse and knotted it on a tree. I do it as well and stepped to him. He went away from the horses and punched against a tree.

"Go back!", he commanded me.

"No. I want to help you!"

"I said go back!", he yelled. Suddenly a walker came around the tree and pushed me to the ground. He moaned as he tried to bite me.

"Fuck off!", I screamed and pushed him off me. I took a stone and smashed his head until it was just blood and cracked bones with squishy brain. As I looked up I saw Daryl looking at me surprised with his crossbow in his hands.

"What's the matter?", I said as I looked up and beat the dirt off my trousers.

"I'd said I can protect myself on my own.", I remembered him and smiled. Suddenly two other walkers came to us and pushed me again to the ground.

"Damnit!", I yelled and tried to pushed him off of me but this walker was heavier then the other. Daryl was busy with the other walker and hit one knife in its head. As he saw that I can't got the walker off of me he came towards me and pulled it off me. With one arrow he killed the undead and it fell to the ground.

"Yeah I see that you can protect yourself."

"I can! If I got my knifes back!", I defended myself. He looked at me. Down and up my body.

"What's wrong?", I asked as he suddenly pushed me against the tree. I breathed heavily as some walkers crossed us but don't recognized us. My heart beaten faster as I saw and felt his warm skin close to mine. His chest pressed against mine and his strong grab on my arm and wrist. As the walkers passed by he still pressed me against the tree. He looked down my body and grinned. I tried to pushed him away but he was stronger. His hips pressing against mine and he smiled cheeky. Sudden he came closer and his lips were pressed against mine. My eyes opens wide and I tried to pushed him away but the kiss was so good, I couldn't resisted it.

"Now...go back!", he whispered with his warm breath against my lips and let me go. He grabbed my butt before I went back to our horses and saddle up. He does it too and ride away without a word in the mountain crest. Daryl make his way through the woods. Alone. As I went back to the camp still asking myself why he had kissed me. In the camp I went to Carol and talk to her.

"He'll find her!", I cheer her up.

"I hope he'll do. She's alone out there!"

"I know but he's out there as well."  I looked at her.

"By the way....did Daryl have a girlfriend?", I asked her.

"No why do you ask?"

"Just for knowledge.", I defended myself. Carol nodded.

"You know when he wanted to come back?", she asked me.

"I think he came back before the sun set down. Until there we should do something darling.", I smiled at her and we stood up.

I spent the day with washing clothes, making food and talking to Carol and Beth. We shared more then I thought. The day slowly got to its end and Daryl were nowhere to be seen. The sun nearly set down as Andrea saw someone at the forest edge.

"Gadder!", she screamed and pull out the sniper.

"Andrea don't! It's too loud!", Dale said.

"I can do this!", she said.

"Don't! Wait first!", Rick commanded and run with Shane and a rifled colt to it. I ran after them and outrun Rick. We saw the walker came to us...but he had something in his hand. It looked like....a crossbow. We came closer to it and I recognized who it was.

"Stop! Take the weapons down.", I said and Rick looked confused. Then he recognized it too.

"You pointing with your weapon at me AGAIN?", he grunt weak.

"Daryl!?", Rick said.

"Take the weapon down!", I said again and went closer to him. He had a bandage around his belly and blood over his face. I saw a necklace....with ears..walker ears. He stumbling as he walked closer to us.

Suddenly I heard a shot and Daryl fell to the ground.

"Nooo! No. Andrea NO!", I yelled and ran to him. Rick and Shane as well. I kneel next to him and looked at him. My heart skipped as I saw he just had a graze shot at his temple but was passed out. Rick and Shane picked him up and carried him to Hershels house. Rick took the necklace from him. Hershel promt looked at him and bandaged his naked torso. We laid him down into the bed where Carl had laid in. I got a bowl with water and took a rag to clean his face and arms a little bit. I flock over his muscular arm and shoulder to his chest. Over his neck and cheek to his forehead. As I had everything clean I stood up and put the bowl away. Then I sat down again and waiting for him to woke up. My head fell on the mattress and fell asleep.

--->next day

I woke up and saw Daryl still sleeping next to me. I stood up and went for getting some food. Then I walked back to him as I saw he was awake.

"Hey!", I said and gave him my food. He looked up to me.

"Thanks.", he whispered and took the food and started eating.

"How do you feel?", I asked him carefully and sat down on my chair next to the bed.

" 'Bout as good as I look.", he laughed coughing and eat more.

"I'm sorry!"

"For what?", he asked confused.

"That I can't help you back there."

"I had insisted that I go alone!", he said absent.

"Yeah you're right but I should had forced you to let me come with you! Then this hadn't happen!", I said guiltily.

"I didn't repeat myself. It's my own fault and now shut the fuck up and let me eat.", he grunt and eat the rest of the bread and chicken I brought him. I scratched the back of my head and leaned back. After he finished eating I stood up and took the plate.

"I thank you for Carol to risked your life for her daughter!", I said and kissed him on the forehead. Before I stepped out of the room I saw how he turned around in bed that his back showed to the door.

It's been two days by now Daryl must laid in a tent outside in our camp. Andrea tried to apologized with a book and Daryl just said :

"No pictures?" I laughed quietly. He seemed to feel better now. After two more days he stood up and walked to the stables. I followed him and saw that he wanna saddle a horse.

"What are you doing? You're still to weak to ride or searching for Sophia. Rick wants to do a organized search for her.", I said and stepped close to him.

"I must search for her. She's still out there.", he said and tried to lift the saddle and made a face twisted with pain.

"Stop it!", I forced him and grabbed his arm.

"Get off!", he said angrily and pushed me away. He hold the hand on his wound with bowed back. He stumbled to the stables gates.

"Let me be!...Stupid bitch!", he hissed and walked away.

"If I'm a bitch then why did you kissed me back there? Why'd you kissed me at all?", I hissed back.

"Wait...what...?", he said pissed off and starred at me. 

"Ya heard what I said!", I said angrily and walked out of the stables by crossing him. I went to the camp and washing and cooking with Carol and Lori the rest of the day in anger until I fell tired in my tent in the evening.
