A/N: Yep, another Walking Dead. Another Idea.

Disclamier: I don't own Walking Dead, only any character's you don't know.

Pairing: Either Merle/Oc Or Daryl/Oc


The woods that were a mile away from Atlanta were silent except for the occasion stumble of a hungry walker that Kylee always managed to sneak around, before killing it as silently as she appeared. Kylee was around mid 30's but with the training her body went through before the world went to shit, anyone could mistake her for in the late 20's.

She had long dark black hair that ended past her shoulder blades which was accompanied by brown eyes and a small button nose that was slightly bent from being broken so many times.

Kylee was currently wearing a tank top that was slightly stretched around her breasts, D Size. It was hard to find clothes that would fit her figure in the normal world and now it was near impossible. Her favourite army pants that slightly grazed the floor every time she walked was covered in small holes and dried blood which ended with her heavy black army boots.

Coming to the edge of the woods were she could see some of the taller towers in Atlanta, as well as some burnt buildings and the deserted streets apart from the few zombies that wander around but she knew better, it was death row for anyone heading into the city but that has never stopped her from trying to spot the few survives that had been sneaking in and out for supplies but the only deferent's this time was she was going to follow.

It was so she could see if the group had her brother, Rick, Carl and Lori. Thinking of her brother left a distaste in her mouth as one of her fingers ran over the long jiggered scar that was an inch from her eye which ended next to her lips.

Kylee hated it.

It was a reminder as her hand tightened around her hunting knife that was strapped to her thigh. It was one of her favourite weapons as well as the bow that was strapped to her back with a couple of bolts and Arrows.

There, right on time was a small guy who looked Chinese with a blue baseball cap in some ragged clothes was carrying three heavy bags. Sharp brown eyes followed the young man's figure before she slowly started to follow behind, checking to make sure there were no zombies near her as well as keeping silent.

She had spotted this do five other times when he had entered the city, normally leaving with a bag or to.

Glenn was tired of running into the city for supplies, he hated it. They always sent him because he knew the city, knew the shotcuts and escapes. He was quick to always get in and out without alerting the walkers. He hated it and he hated Shane.

Gasping for breath as he finally decided to take a short stop to catch his breath, he could see the top of the RV with Dale on top, looking out. Slowly walking forward as more of his camp came into his view. They were all doing their daily chores and once they spotted him, they all seemed to stop.

Glenn walked towards then with the three heavy bags rapped around his small body. Shane walked out from behind one of the many cars they had piled around, he was dress in black pants and a white shirt which both had the police logo stamped on them, they all seemed to follow him because he was the law and Glenn hated it, Shane was always commanded everyone around but was never actually doing anything to help, always sending Glenn and a couple of others into the city.

Everyone surrounded him apart from Merle and Daryl Dixon who both continue to sit at their small camp that was further away from their own but Glenn paid them no attention as Shane walked forward before pulling the three bags off around his body.

Shane never spoke, never even thanked him as he quickly turned with the bags and made his way back towards his car before throwing them in the back. The rest of the survivors quietly returned to their chores leaving Glenn standing there, shaking his head.

She had followed the small man to a large area that, she could only guess used to be a place to have a picnic with the large pond down the hill.

Kylee crouched at the end of the woods, glaring at the figures. She had to admit that seeing this many survivors, she hadn't expected but that all seemed to slip away once her eyes caught her brothers figure and all the hatred that she felt since the start of this Zombie apostasy returned.

The days where they were always playing in high school as well as the days they teased Rick, she had held so much love for her brother and now all she had was hatred, there was mumbles coming from the group but she was to far out to hear.

Taking a step forward when her boot landed on a large branch and it seemed to all slow down as it snapped, echoing around the large empty forest. She watched as Shane's head snapped towards her direction including two figures that were to far back for her to see.

Backing away as quickly and quietly as she could without making anymore noise, she had not plan on actually meeting them, talking to them. Only checking to see if her brother, and Rick as well as his family were here and then she was going to leave.

As long as she knew they were alive then that was all that mattered and she was going to head to her small cabin in the woods, knowing sooner or later Rick would remember it and hopefully head there.

Kylee had only ever told Rick about her place of peace and he had promised to never tell anyone. She only hoped he was going to keep that until a really mergence came before looking at all the survivors, there was no way that many were going to fit in her cabin.

Everyone stopped talking, stopped their chores as they watched Shane raising up his gun slightly towards the woods with Daryl and Merle quietly following, bring up there large knife and the crossbow that Daryl never seemed to separate from.

"Did anyone follow you back?" Shane questioned keeping his eyes on the woods as his hands tightened around his gun. It took Glenn a moment to realize that the question was to him.

"There was no one around, only walkers and I was quiet as always. It's probably a animal." It seemed even after all the times he enter the city, Shane never trusted him. Everyone would follow him but Lori and Carl were the only one's to actually trust him, he always gave of a dark aura and it worried them that one day he might flip. Dale, Daryl and Merle were the only one's to ever spot Shane and Lori, their moments where they were both gone from the camp for a couple of hours and each returning at different times with their hair and clothes slightly out of place.

Daryl and Merle couldn't care, it was none of their business but it didn't stopped Merle from making a classic comment whenever he was near the two and it always ended with Shane glaring at him.

They were the two outsides and no one in the camp trusted them, they never even got a 'thank you' for when they went hunting and brought food back. Daryl always just scoffed, without him and his brother the camp would die, they were what were keeping them alive and they gave then no respect or were graceful for what they do.

Many night's Daryl and Merle spent staying up all night, talking about what they should do and it kept going back to stealing their supplies and then leaving. They were better of by their self and Merle also wanted to check on one of his mates place.

Daryl wanted to laugh at that, the only friends he knew his brother had was his druggies and a few he still kept in contact from when he was in the Army but other then that his brother only ever had enemy's.

He remember a couple of times when his brother was high and started to mutter about his life in the army, apparently one of his team mates had saved his life a couple of times and Merle own him. Daryl didn't expect anything else, even with the world going to hell his brother was unpredictable and would just walk out into a street filled with walkers and no weapons.

Standing up with his crossbow aimed towards the woods, not seeing anything moving but not wanting to take a chance. His brother stood next to him with his large knife he carried around with him, guns were to aloud and would most likely draw attention from the cities and they were close enough for the walkers to hear.

They couldn't risk it.

Daryl watched as Shane stalked forward with his gun raised, as if he was fearless. Scoffing while turning his head slightly to look to his brother, Merle nodded as he watched the officer as well, just wishing to slam his knife into the office head.

Daryl kepted his eyes locked on Shane, who was slipping his gun into the woods slightly and Daryl wanted to shake his head at the officers movement's, a walker could at anytime jump from the side towards the officer and his gun was currently bruied between leaves.

A grunt echoed around them as they watched Shane dropped to the ground with his gun sliding across the grass before stopping. The kids running to their parent's while the other's quickly grabbed the few guns that were laying around but none of them were quick enough as a figure stepped out from the woods.

Daryl took a step closer with his crossbow aimed at the person with his brother standing behind him, They were silently as they watched the figure move closer towards Shane who was trying to push himself from the ground.

"I'm glad to see your safe, brother." The sarcastic was clear in her tone as Daryl watched her move closer towards what they found out was her brother. The woman was not what Daryl had expected, just from her clothes he could tell she was Military and she was ready for war if her weapons were any indication.

"LEE!" A child shout echoed around all the adults who watched as Carl ran towards the stranger, who was quick enough to bend down in time for Carl to slam into her. People slowly started to drop the weapons they had as they watched the touching reuniting while a few of them kept their weapons up, Andrea, Glenn and T-Dog.

From the corner of his eyes he could see his brother dropping the knife which slightly confused Daryl, his brother was not one for new people 'cause it always meant more mouths to feed. Everyone watched as Lori, Carl's mother slowly made her way towards the stranger and Carl.

While Shane slowly pulled himself up to quickly catch sight of his sister hugging Carl and then the fear and worry sank in, he had fought she would have been dead by now and he had hoped if she wasn't that they would never of meet again. The world was large but hear she was and if she told Lori and Carl what he had done, well he could kiss them goodbye.

Mumbles came from where Lori and the stranger were hugging but no one could hear what they were saying while some of them quietly returned back to their chores but the one's that were curiosity made it no effort that they were trying to Listen.

"Ky? Kylee?" It was loud enough to read the strange and Lori who both turned to face Merle who had spoken. Kylee took a couple of steps forward to see him clearly and when she did, her eyes widen before a large smirk appeared.

"Merle Fucking Dixon. You still fucking alive" She lefted Lori and made her way towards where Merle stood with his confused brother. "I guess who were right with the whole 'Only a Dixon can kill a Dixon?"

A loud gruff laugh escaped Merle as he moved forward wrapping his arm's around Kylee's small figure, her coping his actions to where her head was buried between his neck.

"Have to say, it was fucking boring once who left and what you did to the Commission office was fucking priceless" She shook her head once she took a step back, Merle was a lot dirtier then the last time she seen him but she couldn't blame him.

The world was a tough place to live in.

"Ha, Sweetheart, I knew you were alive. You're nearly as tough as a fucking Dixon." Daryl ran a hand through his hair as he watched his druggie brother talking to the stranger, it seemed like she relaxed him but Daryl was confused and slightly annoyed as he placed his crossbow against his shoulder.

It seemed like he wasn't the only one confused. Standing around staring were Shane, Lori, Carol, Andrea, T-dog and Jacqui and most of them did not look happy that there seemed to be another redneck, even if she didn't look like one.

Kylee's eyes caught sight of another dirty looking man, that was standing behind them with a large crossbow against his shoulder. Another Redneck. Turning her eyes to stare at Merle before golding her arms.

"Do I finally get to meet your brother? Or do you plan on knocking someone's teeth out and then getting kicked out?" Merle grinned before placing one arm around her shoulder's as they moved towards where his brother stood.
