She had been following his tracks for 3 days now.
She feels angry, frustrated and aimless but she cannot give up. He is faster and not easy to track, he is light in the woods its like his home.
She is afraid to spend another night alone in the woods, it's so dense she had hardly slept. She thought she should have let Jerry stay with her when he was insisting but she did not know how much time it will take or how things will go if she finds him.

Then suddenly she felt something behind her like a shadow, she took out her knife and turned back, he was standing there with an angry mad face

"what the hell are you doing here" that's all he said and started walking she followed, she wanted to hug him, lean on him and cry and let him cry, but he was not even looking at her she did not answer him

When it was dark he stopped and started making started placing traps around them.

He is now sitting watching the fire intensely ,she placed herself beside him

"why are you here" he asked

"You know why" she said gently

"You don't have to "he said, after a moment

"I have to and you know that" she said

They looked at each other for sometime Then she reached out and touched his face soothingly

"why don't you sleep I will keep watch "she said

He nodded his head very slowly, then he let himself lie down and closed his eyes she fought her sleep for another night

For the next 2days they are just walking around in the woods He does not say anything, and she did not dare to ask, he need his time she understands.

she will wait until he is ready

she is just following him like she has nowhere else to go

They came around a spot near to the still water of the river, the place looks nice, and she was tired to bones. She went to water and washed her face and hands, took off her boots and let her feet touch the water then she sits in nearby still in water. He came around and started pacing around like he had been doing for last 2 days whenever she slows down. He will just walk around to let her know that he is waiting but not say a word

"I am tired" she said softly

He did not say a thing ,placed his belongings near a tree and started placing traps

"its not dark yet"
"Hmm"
"If you want we can go on after a while"
she is a little afraid if he is mad

"nah you need to sleep"
And she slept, it was not even dark yet

-
She had let him sleep around midnight when she was feeling better after the rest and now there is sunshine ,its beautiful. He woke up after a while she was ready to start the day, but he is not moving. He is just thinking something sitting cross -legged. She let herself sit beside him

"Maybe I should get a camp here" he started after a while of silence

"what"
"It may take some time"
she remained silent

"You should go back to kingdom"
she wondered if its because she was tired yesterday

"Daryl I-"
"nah ain't right, you should go check on your kid, I will be fine"
"I am worried about Michhone maybe I should check on her first"
"hmm"
"why don't you come with me I will help you get some things to set up the camp then you can go back"
"I will go later, fine now. You should start today"
He does not want her here, may be he wants to be alone

"You promise I will found you here when I come next time"
He looked at her then he nodded his head

"ok"
He walked her till the known roads she found the courage to give him a hug,she had hugged him before but now he seems so distant. He accepted though and parted quickly saying she should not waste any daylight Just when she was about to turn, she called him

"Daryl"
"Yeah"
"Why did you chose that place, Is it because of the sunshine view" she asked with a little smile

He hold her gaze for a moment then said "Ain't me who chose the place"
He turned quickly and started his back track

"Ain't no sunshine without you" he said to himself quietly
