Chapter One:

The hot Georgia sun was beating down on her back. A single line of sweat running down from her hair line to her neck on her pale skin. Her long dark hair blowing in the light breeze. Violet had been travelling in the woods for a week now, living off squirrels and sleeping in high trees. She couldn't remember the last time she had a full night's sleep. She intended to hunt down the deer she' been tracking for days then try and find the highway. She would hunt with her bow she had gotten as a gift. Before the outbreak they had been told there were shelters for survivors in the city, when violet saw how bad the virus was, Atlanta was her only plan. Violet had never been a 'people-person' so when the world went to shit it didn't hit her as hard as others, she had no family or no close friends. She stopped caring about people a long time ago and preferred to be on her own. She actually enjoyed killing walkers, taking out her anger, hate and grief. Well not killing if their already dead.

Violet jumped from the tree she had been sleeping in the night before, she clicked her neck and started walking north. Walking silently, her green eyes scanning the woods for walkers or game, in the quite of the woods it's easy to hear a walker approaching. The drag of the feet and the deathly moans, not forgetting the vile smell. Violet had been walking for about half an hour, she was tired and her ankle was hurting. She fell from a tree about 3 weeks ago and must have pulled something. It hasn't been right since. Violet carried on walking until something caught her eye. Three walkers ahead of her they didn't notice her, Violet took out the first one with a clean shot through the back of the head it fell onto its front as the others slowly turned their heads. Her arrow went straight between the eyes of what looked like use to be a blonde woman about not much younger than Violet she was wearing a grey jumper and yoga pants. The other walker was at least 6 feet from her so she decided to throw her knife right through its skull. Violet felt nothing for killing walkers, no pain, sorrow or guilt.

Violet walked over the three bodies and collected her arrows and knife. She swift her hair to her right side as the sun was starting to beam down on her. She took a mental note of her body then started for another day. Violet was wearing tight black jeans and short dark top and grey boots. She had her bow & arrows over her right shoulder and two hunting knife hanging off her belt. Violet continued to follow the tracks of the deer; all she could hear are the bugs and her stomach rumbling. Violet took a couple of gulps of water and refused to think when she will eat next.

It was a quiet day in camp, Dale and Glenn were on the RV on lookout. Rick and Shane were talking quietly by the fire and the women had gone down to do the laundry. Daryl had gone off hunting early in the morning and Merle had wondered of somewhere, but no one really cared. T-dog Sam and max were all fishing. They all quite good friends, all around the same ages. T-dog had met up with the group in the first couple days with Jacquie. Sam and Max have been friends since they were teenagers, they grew up in New York and were in Atalanta hiking. They were hiking when the outbreak happened, they found the quarry a day after the group settled there. They became quite good friends with t-dog and Shane. Sam was 24, Max was 23 and T-dog was 26. Sam, max and T-dog had been sitting in the boat fishing for 40 minutes with only about 5 fish.

"Ah come on, walkers don't eat fish, there should be loads here" max was fidgeting in the corner of the boat

"You gotta be patient, they won't come if you keep moving the boat" Sam told max, T-dog chuckled at the other end of the boat.

"Anyway T so you and Jacquie?" Sam said tilting his head and raising his eyebrows towards the women by the shore

"oh um no, no we were family friends and well just met up and found the group. She was close with my sister and her kid. Why? You gotta thing for her?" he asked

"nah man, not really attracted to any of them, I mean Jacquie is nice but more of a mom figure, lori's got enough guys with Shane and rick, carol well we all know her and Ed relationship.., Amy, well max has a little crush on her and that leaves Andrea, she's good looking in all but she reminds me of one of those mad ex-girlfriends" they all burst in to laughter

"oh god I totally know what you mean with Andrea, and Hey max never knew you had a thing for Amy, she's nice you should tell her how you feel" t-dog said with a massive grin on plastered on his face, max started to blush and look down at his feet

"Nahh he's too shy aint ya boy" Sam smacked max on the knee

"Just shut up Sam, you're probably the one scaring away all the fish" Sam and t-dog exchanged looks and smiled

Back up camp they were all going on with their own chores.

Daryl had his cross bow up searching the trees for any sign of movement. He was following the tracks of the deer when he noticed something. He frowned and squinted trying to figure it out. They couldn't be walker tracks, walkers limped and dragged across the dirt, but these were fresh boot prints stalking the deer. He knew they were too small to be his and the group wouldn't have come out here.

"some of a bitch trackin ma deer" he muttered to himself and continued to follow the tracks.

Violet sighed and pushed herself of the ground. She heard a twig snap and looked up. There he was a beautiful healthy stag. The one who violet has been tracking for days. Finally. Violet raised her bow and arrow but before she could shoot, the stag took off. Violet lowered the bow and cursed loudly. She then saw the reason the stag took off, a walker came in to view. Like it just came out of nowhere. Violet raised her bow and shot an arrow through the walkers skull, at the same time another arrow shot through the walker in the opposite direction.

Daryl looked down at the walker, 2 arrows through its skull. One his, the other long and silver. He took his arrow and wiped it across his pant leg. He looked up and saw her standing there. His eyes ran from her boots up to the tight fitting t-shirt, he liked the way it hugged her hips and her breasts. His eyes lingered on her cleavage for a few moments then to her neck. He finally got to her face, she had light pink lips, and she was biting the left side of her lower lip. He couldn't help to think how he would it would feel to have those lips on him.

"Who are you?" brought him out of his gaze .

Violet had her bow aimed to his head, Daryl moved and stepped away from the walker slowly with his hands up. They locked eyes, Daryl noticed how beautiful her green eyes were but there was no hesitation in her eyes that she wouldn't shoot him.

"Who are you" she asked him again.

"Daryl" he said, she could hear his southern drawl.

"You alone?" she asked.

"Gotta group back a couple miles, set up in a quarry" he said as she lowered her bow

"How many people"

"Bout 20" he said, squinting trying to figure out her face. "Scared away ma deer"

"Your deer?"

"Yeah bin tracking it for a week."

"Yeah well I'm not the one who scared it away" she said, as she looked down at the walker

After a few minutes of silence and looking at each other, Daryl looked down at his feet then back at her they locked eyes again.

"So you alone?" he asked.

"Does is look like I'm with people?" she replied sarcastically. He frowned and Violet raised her eyebrows

"Well you can come with me to the group if you wanna, ain't safe to be out here alone." Shifting his wait to his right side

" I've done fine on my own already plus how do I know I can trust you" a part of violet wanted to spend more time with him, he seemed different, but she learned from her past no to trust easily. She could see he was a very well built man, rough tussled light brown hair, goatee his mouth was in a tight line. She could see his muscles on his arms from his ripped of sleeves, his arms ad face was dirty and he had his crossbow in his right hand. But the thing that caught her most was his beautiful blue eyes. She felt as though they were burning holes through her. Like he was staring right into her soul.

"Oh." Daryl's heart sunk a bit when he thought she was going to go. He only knew her for a few minutes but he felt something with this girl, something he never felt before. Yeah she was fucking hot but she looked like she had a story. He got mad at himself. He kept telling himself 'she's just another piece of ass' and that he hadn't got laid in ages. He tried to convince himself it was that but just the way she looked was giving him a physical effect. He clenched his hands in to fists and looked in to her green eyes. "Well I ain't gonna hurt ya, you look like you need food and to wash" was all he could say, he mentally scolded himself for saying something so stupid. You don't tell a girl they look like they should wash, he even liked the dirt on her pale skin and how wet her neck was from sweating. He wondered if someone hurt her because she was being very defensive. He couldn't see why anyone would want to hurt such a beautiful creature. But he knew what kind of men were out there, his brother was one of them.

"You trying to say I smell or something?" she smirked. She could see the edges of his mouth twinging but not smiling.

"Um, no just I meant...well" he started stuttering and could feel his cheeks going red.

"I'm joking" she smiled at his embarrassment and looked at her feet. "So you gonna show me to your camp or are you going to leave me in the woods?"She said.

"Sure it's not that far" he wanted to smile but he just kept frowned and walked back to camp, she was following quietly behind him that he had to check she was still there. "What's ya name?"

She was silent for a moment before she realized he was staring at her "huh?"

"Name?"

"Oh violet" she said with a small smile.

"Violet" he murmured to himself. Daryl turned his head and continued walking, he didn't want her to see his reaction on his face when she smiled.
