I woke up, I was stuck in a dream

you were there, you were tearing up

Everything

we all know how to fake it, baby

we all know what we've done

we must be killers

children of the wild ones

we must be killers

Where we got left to run?

-O-

Cammie sat cross-legged outside her tent with a mixture of beads, wires and string in front of her. Sophia had been trying to teach her how to make charm bracelets for the past hour and it was becoming frustrating. Cammie looked up at the girl and sighed. "You don't have to if you don't want to" she told her, lowering her 5th failed attempt into her lap. Sophia looked up and raised a brow "I mean... You don't have to- I know you don't- ugh" she gave up and looked down. Cammie had never been good at making friends her age

Sophia smiled and picked up Cammie's charm bracelet to inspect it "It's okay, I want to" Cammie found herself smiling for a brief three seconds at Sophia's statement "This is pretty good" she said, handing the bracelet back to Cammie

"Really?" She asked excitedly, taking it into her hands to look at it herself. Cammie followed Sophia's instructions perfectly; cover the wire in coloured string, add beads, tie together so it wouldn't fall apart and she hadn't even realised

"Yeah it's awesome" Sophia giggled as she started up her tenth bracelet. Why was she making so many? who where they for? Cammie shook the thought away and began making some more. This was fun... Also terrifying. One of the faults of not being able to make friends is well... you have no friends and Cammie was extremely unsure of what she was suppose to be doing. Just sitting in more or less silence seemed to be working so far but that might not work forever

Cammie was also very aware of Ed; Sophia's dad who was watching them very carefully. Ed gave off a really bad vibe and Sophia had even told Cammie how scared she was of him. That hurt Cammie... a lot. When Cammie was younger -before her dad got a job, they all lived with their Grand-dad and he wasn't a very nice guy. Cammie had tried to comfort Sophia and even allowed her to share a sleeping bag but in the morning when Carol found her, she was banned from doing it again. The people at this camp don't really trust the Dixon's

"Hey I'll be right back" Cammie quickly said, pulling herself to her feet. She brushed some dirt of her faded blue jeans and then jogged off towards the cars at the other side of the camp that were now packed up and ready to go. They were running low on supplies which meant it was time to go get some. Problem was the nearest place that even had the possibilities of what they needed was Downtown Atlanta which was swarmed with what they call 'Walkers' Walker's were your worst nightmare. They were hell on earth... they were undead.

She quietly approached behind her dad who was busy checking if he had enough rounds in the chamber of his rifle. She raised her arms up, ready to scare him and almost jumped out of her own skin in fear when he spun around and grabbed her wrists "Maybe next time, kid" he chuckled, turning back around. Cammie walked to the other side of him and leaned up against the car, crossed her arms over her chest and pursed her lips

"Do you have to go?" She finally asked, clear sadness in her voice. She didn't want him to go. What if something went wrong? What if they all turned against him? It was a possibility - A stupid one at that but still a possibility

"Yup" He nodded his head once before laying his rifle down and slamming the trunk down, causing her to flinch. Merle caught the little movement and for a brief second found himself frowning. Is she always going to be so jumpy? So careful? He was going to have to try and do something about that "Yeah I uh..." He scratched his nose as he tried to think of a lie. Truth was, they were going to rob this camp tomorrow night and this supply run meant more supplies to take for their own. If he went he could make sure they got everything they needed "Who else is gonna make sure they don't fuck up, huh?"

Cammie played with this thought in her head. She guessed it made sense. These people didn't really feel like the sharpest tools in the shed and there is a chance they could miss something important "Alright" she breathed out "But just in case..." She took off the Yellow and green bracelet, grabbed his wrist and then shoved it on "A good luck charm"

Merle admired the little bracelet on his wrist and grinned. He looked down at his daughter and pulled her into a tight hug "Thank you, darlin'" He said, finally pulling away after he heard that prick T-Dog from the front seat of the car to hurry the hell up. Keeping one hand on her shoulder he messed her hair and promised "I'll be back before you wake up tomorrow, don't worry" and then he jogged to the driver seat.

She stepped a few paces back to allow the car to drive off so it could follow the other. She waved until she was sure Merle couldn't see her anymore and stayed in her spot so she could watch the car disappear into the mountain sides. She felt a hand on her shoulder where her dad's had just been and turned her head to see Sophia smiling at her "He'll be okay" she reassured Cammie. Cammie smiled and looked down, thankful for the remark

"You wanna play tag?" Sophia's question confused Cammie. Tag? what the hell was tag? "Cause the others were wondering if you wanted to Join..." picking up on Cammie's confusion, she felt like she might laugh "You do know what Tag is?" Cammie shook her head, causing Sophia to grab the girls hand forcefully and completely ignore Cammie's flinch "I'll show you"

-O-

Mary huffed, annoyed and lowered her crossbow. Her and her brother had been out here since dawn trying to hunt down some food that the camp demanded. She wiped some sweat from her brow and looked over at Daryl who was staring off into the deeper parts of the woods, trying to spot any sort of movement from the deer they had been tracking "Daryl" she waved her hands in front of his face, bringing him out his trance "Did you hear me?" Daryl raised a brow and tilted his head. Mary huffed once again. Of course he didn't hear her. She should of guessed

"I said I'm gonna go back" Daryl gave her a 'What-the-hell-for' look and she chuckled "It's getting close to evening which means Merle left a couple of hours ago and Cammie's all alone. Do you trust those guys to take care of her? Cause I sure don't" Daryl nodded in agreement

"Alright... Better at huntin' alone anyhow" He joked, nudging her shoulder with his own. Mary rolled her eyes and took off in the direction that they came from "Hey! Tell Cammie she better not touch my Oreo's!" she gave him a two finger salute without turning around which seemed to be good enough for him. He swears if Cammie even eats one more of his oreo's then he was gonna kill her

Mary arrived back at camp, it felt calm. She strolled through the quarry making sure to say her hello's to some of the people including Amy who she had become quite close with since they were both close in age. Amy was also the one to point out the Dixon girls seemed to be a lot tamer than the Dixon boys which was very hard to believe after you met Merle. As soon as you greet him you immediately assume that anyone associated with him are the same. The truth was that he was the wild card. Daryl isn't even that bad

"Hey Mary!" Her head looked over to see a sweaty Cammie. She waved back but she doubted Cammie saw it since as soon as her hand was in the air Cammie had darted off to avoid being grabbed by Lori's son Carl. Mary smiled, watching her niece running around with other children around her age was heart-warming to her. She remembers Cammie constantly getting into fights before and never being able to grasp the concept of friendship. Took the damn dead to rise for her to finally find some friends

Well better late than never

Cammie kept glancing over at Mary who had found her way to Dale's RV to chat with him and Jim. Mary was so socialble it hurt. If you put them both in a room with twenty complete strangers Cammie could guarantee that Mary would become best friends with all of them while she would be sitting in the corner of the room in the fetal position crying

Her head spun around when she felt a slap on her back and saw Carl grinning at her and slowly stepping away "Tag" Carl was Lori and she thinks Shane's son. Shane and Carl didn't have the same last name and they didn't really look alike but she's seen Lori and Shane sneak off into the forest a couple times so she just assumed that they were together. Maybe he's a step dad

"You'll pay for that Grimes" she teased, stepping forward

"You're gonna have to catch me first" he laughed before turning and vaulting over one of the seating log's. Cammie narrowed her eyes and quickly followed. She chased him around the camp for a while, dodging various adults and blocking out the yells that were directed at her when she almost ran into somebody or something. She was actually so caught up in trying not to mess up, she tripped and face planted on the ground. She slowly sat herself up, a hand covering her nose where it hurt the most

"Are you okay?" he asked, skidding next to her

"My face hurts" she said, her voice getting muffled in her hands. His eyes went wide which concerned her a bit "Whats wrong?" she looked up to see Sophia gasping and Morales children weren't even looking at her

"MOM!" Carl yelled back at Lori who was sitting with Jaqui talking about how they were going to cook today's forest surprise courtesy of the Dixon's. Lori stood up and jogged over after seeing all the fuss "Look" he pointed at Cameron who was still unsure of what was gong on

"Oh honey, here" Lori kneeled in front of her and tilted her chin up, moved her hands and pinched the bridge of Cammie's nose

"What are you doing" Cammie tried moving but Lori kept her at bay

"Honey your nose is bleeding. Can't you feel it?" Cammie shook her head and crossed her eyes down so she could try and get a look. Nose bleed? is that why she suddenly felt light headed? Jaqui was next to come over with a tissue. Lori took it and held it over the girls nose "What happened?"

"I fell" she answered honestly

"You must of fallen pretty hard - here" She took Cammie's hand and pushed it on the tissue and then took her own hand away "You feel better yet?" Cammie shrugged "Carl go get some water" she ordered her young son who obliged without hesitation. This just wasn't quitting "Sophia sweetie go get Mary" Sophie nodded and jogged of to find her aunt "C'mon" she helped Cammie to her feet and made sure that she kept pressure on her nose. She led her over to one of the chairs so she could have an actual seat and sat with her until Mary came over

"What the hell happened?" She asked, moving over to take Cammie's place in holding the tissue

"She said she fell. Her nose wont stop bleeding"

"Oh, thanks for watching her. I got it from here" Mary said without looking up at the women. Lori nodded, her lips pursed. She seemed to be the only person Mary didn't try and get to know and that bothered her slightly. Why didn't she want to talk to her? Was there something wrong with her? She sighed and turned to walk away when she heard Cammie's voice

"Thanks Lori" She smiled back at the girl before turning back. When Cammie said it it sounded like she meant it. She said it with heart. Not like her aunt who said it bland like and without emotion. When Mary said it it sounded more like 'Okay you can leave now' but not with Cammie. Lori liked Cammie. It was hard to believe she was a Dixon

"Mom I got the water" She looked down at Carl who had approached her, bottle in hand

"Go give it to her then" Lori smiled and nodded over to Cammie whose whole bottom face was covered in wet blood. She looked like she had just shoved her face into a plate of meat. She continued to smile as Carl ran over to his new friend and helped clean up her face and laughed as he did so. It's good for him to have a best friend. Well she was pretty sure they were best friends. He certainly didn't laugh like that with Sophia and she doubted he would clean up Sophia's blood.

-O-

When the supply-run group hadn't returned in the morning, people started getting agitated. When they weren't back by breakfast, people started getting worried and by the time lunch came around and not a car was in sight, most were frantic. Morales wife was praying alone in her tent and her children weren't in a talkitive mood so it was just Cammie, Carl and Sophia today

"Where do you think they are?" Carl asked, putting down another card. For the past ten minutes they had been playing snap to try and take their minds off things... well Cammie's mind. It was her dad out there after all

Cammie shrugged, putting down her card. She also hadn't said much but un-like Morales children, she wasn't avoiding anybody

"They probably just got lost" Sophia commented, putting down her own card and then quick as she could slammed her hand down and yelled 'SNAP' which caused Cammie to jump and then hold her hand over her heart in a joking manner

"You almost gave me a heart attack" she chuckled, setting her cards down on the grass and staring ahead "I don't think they would get lost" she said, brining attention back to Sophia's earlier comment "My dad has never gotten lost in his life. If anything a car just broke down"

"Yeah..." Carl nodded, agreeing with her "Well I'm bored of this" he sat his cards down on the grass in a similar manner to Cammie and huffed "What do you wanna do?"

"We could play Tag" Sophia suggested

"Never again" Cammie groaned, rolling her eyes up and tilting her head back

"Truth or dare?" Carl suggested. Cammie sucked her lips in and thought about it. She had never played truth or dare but she knew the basic mechanics of how it worked. After awhile, she sat herself up straight and nodded

"Yeah alright. Sophia?" she looked at the red head, awaiting confirmation

"Sure" So that's what they did for the next hour or so. Doing stupid little dares and answering random questions. Cammie had dared Carl to steal Nutella from the RV and carl Carl almost got caught stealing it he managed to just slip by before Dale turned around and the three of them enjoyed it immensely. They learned Sophia used to have an embarrassing crush on some boy in her old class and almost tackled kissed him which made Cammie make vomiting noises which brought Sophia to her next thought

"Truth or Dare?" She asked, narrowing her eyes, begging Cammie to chose dare

"Dare" she said, mimicking Sophia's gaze.

Sophia grinned, sat herself up straight and crossed her arms over her chest "I dare you to kiss Carl" Carl wasn't sure how to react so went with sticking his tongue out of his mouth and make gagging noises much like Cammie was doing in the other direction away from him "What are you chicken?"

"No!" Cammie defended herself

"Then do it already!" Cammie awkwardly looked over at Carl and strained her face. This was going to be awful

"For the dare?" she asked him quietly

"For the dare" he repeated and then slowly they leaned. When their puckered lips met they stilled, not sure what to do. It was awkward that was for sure and Cammie still had her eyes open

"That's not how you kiss!" Sophia groaned, slumping back. "You gotta..." she flaied her hands "Move your mouths or something" Cammie pulled back and looked at her in an almost defeated fashion

"Can't we stop? I already did it!"

"You have to do it properly"

"Whhyyyyy" Cammie whined. Sophia just grinned. She was never going to tell them that she actual thought they were adorable together. She always did like pairing her friends up

"If you don't then you have to forfeit"

"Forfeit?!" she almost screeched "What forfeit?!"

"If you don't do it you have to..." she looked around, trying to find something so terrible that Cammie would instantly refuse "Grab Shane's butt!" she finally called out and then immediatly slammed her hands over her mouth. She said that rather loud.

Cammie looked over at Carl panicked and in the next second, Cammie had grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him to her. Sophia claspped her hands together and grinned like a fool as she watched her two friends kiss. This went perfectly

They might of forgotten that Sophia was even there. This thing... kissing. It was great! Why weren't they taught this earlier? This should be a subject in school! Cammie quickly pulled back and looked over in the direction of the camp after she heard a loud beeping sound "What is that?" she asked, standing up

Carl quickly collected himself and cleared his voice "It's uh... I think it's a car horn" Cammie's eyes shot open

"Maybe its them!" She yelled before running off

-O-

Sophia I see you shipping there -_-

Okay! So yes this is loosesly based of my previous story 'Blood' which I stopped writing because I got bored of it and I just thought it was so terrible. Then I decided I loved the fact that Merle had a daughter so I said 'Hey! Why not re-write it? But better..." so that is exactly what I did. You will also notice that there is an extra Dixon in here who I based off one of my friends. You know who you are! *waves* (I changed their name of course)

Also, Cammie actually acts like a twelve year old! Atleast.. I'm pretty sure this is how twelve year olds act... oh well. It's better than how she was before. She was one crazy psychopath who acted WAAAYYYY older and got involved in things she shouldn't of like the decision with Jim and going down to the basement at the CDC and other things. But yeah.. I like this version a lot better and I hope you do to

And if anyone is wondering of just wants a face to match the names I imagine Cammie as Krissy Chambers from Supernatural (Played by Madison Mclaughlin) and Emilia Clarke is Mary
