Dixon's Fairy

Summery: Same old same old Daryl falls in love with an added character. Don't like it don't read.

There was a point in my life where I thought I had the worse life in the universe. My parents had always favored my older brother Shane to me. He was one of the towns golden boys quarterback of the football team and a total ladies man. So when he graduated and become one of the town deputies a lot of pressure was put on me to do something just as important. So after high school and a few summers volunteering as a candy striper I decided to go to school as a nurse. Although they didn't hate my job my parents still liked to remark that being a doctor would be even better.

Shane wasn't any better he was constantly picking on me and wouldn't even claim me in public. He use to beg our parents to just admit I was adopted but sadly I wasn't. Because of our Irish blood when I was younger my hair use to be a very fuzzy carrot orange. If often clashed with my very china pale skin tone. A pair of glasses magnified my aquamarine eyes while a set of braces tried to straighten out my bucked crooked teeth. On top of that I was chubby and just inches above being a little person I wasn't very popular. The only friend I had was Alice Jones we bonded over the fact we we're named after the heroine's of our favorite children's books.

I wished often she was my sister instead of a best friend, she was there for me for everything through my parents and my brothers crap they said or did to me. Through the teasing I got at school from the student body especially by the head cheerleader Lori. She was even the one who got me volunteering at the hospital to begin with. Her dad was a doctor there and asked her if we could come help out we agreed. She even made me my most precious item of clothing that I wear all the time. A denim vest that she bedazzled in a rainbow of fake gems to look like I had fairy wings upon the back. When the light hit them just right they almost looked real so I ended up with the nickname Tink like Tinkerbell.

Eventually the braces came off though I kept the glasses being a little freaked about contacts actually touching my eyeball. My frizzy orange hair smoothed out to a wavy auburn color though the only darkening of my pale skin was a scattering of golden freckles on my cheeks and nose. I hadn't gotten any taller but it seemed all my baby fat had somehow ended up in my bra or on my ass. It was my first day on duty as an ER nurse that the worst happened my brother Shane's partner and best-friend Rick Grimes was brought in. Having been shot in the line of duty when a bullet managed to find its way under the vest.

I had always gotten along with Rick he was the only friend of my brother's that had treated me nicely and once upon a time I had the hugest crush on him. When he had started dating Lori though that crush was smashed literally when I found myself covered in cherry slushie for daring to even say hi to him. Of course he had defended me to Lori claiming he saw me as much his sister as he saw Shane is brother which broke my heart a little more unknowingly to him. So to see him like this was a huge shock to me that it took Shane yelling at me to stop staring like a stupid bitch and help his friend to snap me out of it. I did all I could but poor Rick had slipped into a coma which I'm sure Shane and Lori both blamed me for. Carl however just offered me a hug and asked me to keep looking after his dad as best I could.

After that I spent most of my brake's and what ever time I could spare during my shifts to watch over the town's sheriff. So imagine my shock when my brother burst into the room as I was sitting next to Rick just after pulling Ia graveyard shift with his gun draw ordering me to get down. My attention finally grabbed I could finally hear the gunshots coming from the hall. " What the hell! Did one of your stupid lackeys let a prisoner get his damn gun! Shane do something stop being a chicken and go stop him!" Shane glared at me and after blocking the door pulled me from my chair roughly. " It's not a prisoner. There's soldiers out there and they're shooting people. Doctors,nurses, even patients. Come on we have to get Rick out of here. "

Before he could even start to unhook Rick from the machines why I tried to stop him everything went dark. " No no no. Shane what's going on ? " Shane was of course ignoring me leaning over Rick to hear for a heartbeat. " He's gone we gotta get out of here come on. " He started to pull me away from Rick and out of the room when I pulled my arm from his. " I can do CPR bring him back. " I started to move for Rick when Shane just re-grabbed me pulling me out into the hall. " Damn it Wendy we don't have time for you to try to play doctor with a damn corpse. Unless you wanna stay here and be one then fine with me you've been a stone around my neck for to long it's only cause your my sister I'm even trying to save your ass. " I was ready to tell him to go to hell when I saw an actually zombie coming up behind him. Luckily we were right in front of one of those in case of fire boxes that held an ax so braking the glass I grabbed the ax and slipping under my brothers arms I swung and hacked its head off.

It was as it rolled to the other side of the hall I realized it was Alice I then went into some kind of numb trance I didn't even notice Shane grab me and escape out the fire exit. I didn't notice as we went to our house where he shot mom and dad as we packed as many clothes as we could before hopping in his jeep. I didn't notice when he made a quick stop to grab Carl and Lori before we made our way out of town as Shane had to explain to explain about Rick dying. I didn't wake up til we came to a traffic jam outside of Atlanta it was then I realized my life was over. because the Apocalypse had just started and I Wendy Walsh was in the middle of it.

I slowly got out of the jeep to see what was going on around me, Carl playing cards with a little girl on the tail in of a Cherokee station wagon with Lori and some other woman conversing next to them. Probably the girls mother as a over weight man maybe her husband was staring at them both smoking a cigarette, Shane no where in site. The man was giving me the creeps slightly so I decided to walk off a ways as to look for my brother. After passing a few cars I was stopped by an older gentleman leaning out of an RV. " Not a good idea to be walking off by yourself miss. To dangerous. " I offered a slight smile to the man. " I'm looking for my brother actually. Tall, To much muscle, with a curly head of black hair. Bossy wearing a police uniform. " The old man chuckled and nodded. " He's coming up with Glenn now. I'm Dale by the way Dale Horvath. " I stepped close to the window and offered him my hand. " Wendy, Wendy Walsh. "

" You gonna fly away to never never land shrimp boat. " I turned around to find another man slightly older than my brother securing a tarp over something in a truck bed. He had buzzed blonde hair with a days growth of beard on his slightly worn tanned skin. A tan wife beater with a pair of to tight jeans stuffed into Harley Davidson boots with a rebel flag printed leather vest. A Marlboro dangling from his lips " Merle leave her alone she don't look like more than twelve just a baby." The new voice came from inside the truck where another man sat. He still had his hair but it was kinda shaggy with a blonde bleaching growing out to a darker natural color she couldn't tell yet. He wore a red flannel with the sleeves ripped off and a leather vest of his own but she couldn't see any design on the back from his position behind the wheel. He was biting on his thumb well not really his nail more like his cuticle, his ocean blue eyes shifting between her and this Merle. " Actually I'm Thirty-two I just look young. Happens all the time ."

Merle whistled from the back of the truck leaning over the side rail. Staring at her with his own ocean blues " You should be thanking your daddy's genes for that one girly. If not for him those big old melons might be hanging to your knees by now. " He started to laugh but was cut off by a smoker's cough. " Wendy what the hell are you doing get back to the Jeep?! " Wendy jumped an turned to see her brother with an Asian male. " You must be Glenn I'm Wendy. Shane's sister. " Glenn smiled and shook her hand. " Damn it Wendy do what the hell your told and get back to the Jeep. Or you can find your ass another ride to the safe house. "

The smile dropped from Glenn's face as shocked replaced it. He couldn't believe a brother would talk to let alone treat a sister like that. Sure he and his sisters fought but he would never just ditch them in a time like this. " You can ride with us girly no need to stay with your pig brother when he's being a ass like that. Even I wouldn't leave a woman especially family to them biters. " Wendy smirked at the redneck and shook her head at his offer. " No thanks Merle was it? I appreciate the offer though. " With a glare to her brother she followed him to the Jeep meeting Lori half way.

Daryl watched as the tiny girl walked away following her asshole of a brother. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her, He knew what it was like growing up with an asshole brother but he was a guy. That's one thing his bastard of a father did teach him and Merle not that he was a good guy mind you. More like he was an example of what NOT to do growing up watching there Ma get beat gave the two brothers firm idea how not to treat women. Though sometimes Merle pushed it a bit with his rude comments and sexual come ons that pissed off women more than attracted them.

What was most unsettling about it was that her brother was a pig or cop if you wanted to be respectful. Cops we're suppose to know better but something about that guy wasn't right come to think of it that girl was a little odd either. She didn't yell or glare at his brother for being a jerk she didn't even bat an eye. She wasn't even rude to him as she told her real age or tell Merle to fuck off for his comment to her brother. She just thanked him with a smile and followed the damn pig but there was a spark in her eyes that hinted at something as she glared at his back. What was really weirding him out though was that he was kinda hoping she would take Merle up on his offer that he wanted her as far away from that pig as possible.

His thoughts we're interrupted as an explosion from the city could be seen from way back here. He could here the china man talking to the geezer in the RV " Their bombing the city? Why the hell are they bombing the city? " The old man just sighed as a couple of blondes appeared from the back of the RV. " The only reason they would be doing that is if Atlanta was over run. It means the city isn't safe anymore. " The china man took off his hat to pull at his hair. " Where are we suppose to go then? " The old man pulled out a map from a glove box and started looking before leaning out the window to show the chink. " Looks like a few miles back up a dirt path is an old rock quarry. Tell Shane and anyone else you can find to follow us there we should be able to hide for a while with plenty of water for every one. All we'll have to worry about is food. "

The China Man nodded and ran off to find the pig. " You hear that? They are going to some quarry. I got an idea we follow them offer to help like hunting for them in exchange for letting us stay then when they least expect it we take all they got. Food, weapons, hell maybe a bitch or two. I saw you eyeing up the midget." Daryl gave his brother a look before nodding. He hated to do it but Merle was right this was the apocalypse they had to find away to survive it was every man for himself. " Alright but swear to me we actually do take that girl with us. I don't feel right leaving her with the pig that also means hands off Merle. " Merle leaned back holding his hands up in a surrender motion before jumping out of the bed to join him inside. " She's all yours little brother I'd prefer a full size to bite size anyway. "

Daryl fired up his truck when he saw the China man return to jump into the Rv and pulled out to follow it as a few cars lined up behind him. A glimpse in his side mirror showed one of them was a Jeep.
