Chapter One


The world had gone to shit and Hilary had to stand here listening to Her Brother bitch and complain about morals.

"would you shut the fuck up Cameron. I mean really!" She snapped at her over annoying older Brother. "talk one more time and I'll feed you to the AnkleBiters."

"alright alright. Chill out dang." Cameron said rolling his eyes at his younger sister. Hilary made her way back over to the abandoned truck to see if it had Gas,

out of everyone in the fuckin family I get stuck with the only stupid mother fucker who doesn't know how to shut the hell up. She thought as she looked around; Cameron kept look out as she squatted near the Gas Tank; Cameron coughed causing his sister to glare at him.

"hey you act like this is my fault. I didn't do some hoodoo to make the dead walk again." he snapped; "but the weird shit you were into I wouldn't be surprised if you had something to do with this."

Hilary stopped and glared at him.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" she asked, completely forgetting about the truck; Cameron rolled his eyes and glared at her.

"Wicca, I mean serious you're a freak and I don't understand why our sister gave you custody of Holly and Claire."

She goes to attack at him but someone yelling 'Walkers', she looked around confused but quickly sees the Ankle Biters, She took aim until someone shoved her gun down.

"Gun shot will only make more come." a voice said, Hilary turned to find a man standing next to her with a crossbow. He shot the Ankle Biter and it went down. "surprised there wasn't more the way ya'll were going at it."

"'See Hilary, told ya to keep your mouth shut."

"Stop being a Child, Cameron!" She snapped launching herself at him. Arms wrapped around her pulling her off of him and the cross-bow guy grabbed Cameron.

Fucking prick, should have left him home.

"will you two shut the hell up yer attract more Geeks." Crossbow man said; Cameron shoved him off and told him to fuck off. The sound of a van door opening stopped the adults.

"Aunt Hilly?" a small voice said from inside the van, the adults looked up to find Claire looking at Hilary tears in her eyes, "why are you guys fighting again?"

Hilary frowned and Apologized to Claire for fighting with her uncle. Claire turned her blonde head towards Cameron who was avoiding her small gaze.

"Uncle Cameron?" she said raising her eyes brow.

"oh for Christ sake fine. I'm sorry for fighting with Hilary." he said; The arms that were holding Hilary let go. She turned around and asked him who he was

"Rick Grimes and you are?" he said; Hilary smiled and introduced herself before shaking ricks hand; she then introduced her two nieces Claire and Holly Ellis before frowning over to her brother.

"and you've already been acquainted with my brother Cameron Carmichael." she said. Rick smiled and Informed her that the crossbow man was Daryl Dixon. Hilary smiled as Holly and Claire climbed out of the van and walked over to Them.

"Aunt Hilary we're hungry." Holly said causing Hilary to frown;

"there should be some crackers in the snack bag but I think that's all." She said sighing. Claire frowned and started to cry. Hilary pulled her into her arms as she cried. Rick put his hand on her shoulder and explained that they had food at their camp if she and Cameron wanted to follow he and Daryl back to it. Hilary look at Cameron who shrugged his shoulder.

"it's up to you." he said.

"if it's alright with you." She told Rick, he nodded and Hilary picked up Claire. "Come on Holl. Lets go."

Holly smiled and took Hilary's hand and walked back to the van. Daryl whistled and told her to follow him before going to the truck they stopped behind. Hilary smiled softly and got into the van; Rick got in the passenger side and asked Hilary what she was doing around there. She smiled sheepishly and explained on how they were checking every abandoned cars and trucks for gas; they were gonna take the gas from Daryl's truck before Cameron and she got into an argument,

"you sure you guys are related?" he asked smiling watching Cameron get into his jeep that I told him was useless since we had the van.

"Unfortunately." I said taking a deep breath "we never did get along."

"Who kids are Claire and Holly, I noticed they called you both aunt and uncle." Rick asked; Hilary smiled and explained about her older sister, Julia and how she died one month before everything went to hell, that she was hit by a drunk driver while she was driving home from work.

"I only had the girls officially for three weeks before the world ended." Hilary said frowning looking at holly's form as she held Claire near. Rick nodded and asked if she had any kids, Hilary laughed and shook her head."no. I was too screwed up to being a child into my life."

she continued to tell him about her Coffee house, that everyone in her family was either a doctor or a nurse, she tried to go to medical school; but when she was younger she was squeamish with blood. Rick laughed as they pulled up to a quarry.

"well here's our camp." Rick said as Hilary stopped the van and put it in park. A group of people came out of a RV and watched as Hilary helped the girls out,

"guys this is Hilary and Cameron Carmichael." Hilary waved as Rick introduced the girls, Claire smiled and shouted hello. Hilary frowned and shhed her. Claire just giggled and jumped into Cameron's arms.

"Sworry aunt Hilly." she giggled from Cameron's arm, Hilary smiled at Cameron who was whispering in Claire's ear. Rick walked up with a tall brunette and a 12 year old.

"Hilary this is my wife Lori and Son Carl," Hilary smiled at the family, a man wearing a deputy uniforms walked up to her and introduced himself as Shane Walsh; his smile was a bit creepy. In the corner of her eye Hilary seen Daryl scoff and walk off. She smiled back at Shane as an Asian and a Black man walked up and introduced themselves as Glen and T-Dog. Holly blushed as she introduced herself causing Hilary to smile.

"How old are you girls?" Lori asked, Claire smiled wildly as she held up eight fingers. Holly blushed again as she secretly glanced at Glenn.

"i'm 17." she said; Lori grinned at the teenager and welcomed the family to the camp before walking away, two women and a little girl walk up.

"I'm Andera." The blond said, Hilary smiled and shook her hand.

"I'm Carol and this is my daughter, Sophia." The short haired woman said with a smile on her face, Sophia looked at Claire and asked if she wanted to play. Claire looked up at Hilary with her big doe eyes causing Hilary to smile and nod, as the two girls ran off Hilary told Holly to keep an eye on her. Holly grinned when she noticed them over by Glen and went to follow them.

Hilary walked over to the back of the van and opened the hatch, revealing some Camping supplies and pulled out two tents; Cameron walked up and sighed.

"I'm sorry I was an ass earlier." he said grabbing the smaller of the two tents. Hilary smiled and shook her head.

"i didn't help things any better." she said; he nodded and walked off to find a spot to put his tent up; She pulled out the bigger tent and pulled it over towards where Daryl was sitting.

"Do you mind if I set this up over here?" She asked him; He looked at her confused but stared down at the tent trying to remember how to put it up.

"can't remember?" Hilary heard Cameron's joking remark. I turn to him, stuck her tongue out at him and told him to leave her alone. " All that pot making you forgetful."

"fuck you Cameron I'm not a teenager anymore." She said frowning not knowing if he was joking or not. He smiled and shook his head; he shoved her shoulder.

"I'm just fucking with you, Hilly chill." he said before handing her a bag she had left in his jeep. She shook her head and went back to staring at the tent, willing it to put itself together.

"Ya need help?" Daryl asked motioning to the tent. She jumped and shot him a glare.

"i use to go camping all the time but I can't remember how to build a stupid tent." she said with a sigh; he asked for the directions and Hilary began to search in the bag and pulled out a wrinkled piece of paper;She open it and gasped. It was Julia's hand writing;

Hilly, if you found this then that means your camping again. which means mom or dad pissed you off again. If I'm there with you give me this and I'll give you the vodka I hid in the camping supplies. Don't tell mom though I don't think she'd like us drinking around the campfire. If I'm not around then the vodka is in with the cooking stuff as I previously mentioned duh, if you didn't take it then you left in a hurry and your either really mad at mom, dad or Cameron. Listen Hil, Don't let them get to you. I'm so proud of you, it doesn't matter if you're not a doctor like Cam, your coffee-house is amazing. Everyone wants me to get them coffee from there. Look I need to let you know something little sister, I love you and I always will. No matter what you do with your life. Love ya

Julia,

"everything okay?" Daryl asked, Hilary looked at him and blushed as she locked on those blues.

"umm...yeah...sorry." She said shaking her head, she continued her search in the bag and finally find the directions. She grinned and handed it to Daryl and they began putting the tent together, About a half hour later the tent was up and Hilary grin and thanked Daryl. He nodded and walked off. She heard her name and turned to find Claire running up to her with a bunch of flowers. Hilary smiled and shh'd her again she smiled and apologized, Hilary shook her head.

"you keep saying sorry but sorry implicates you won't do it again." She said smirking, she stuck her tongue out. Holly walked up and smiled at the tent.

"you got the tent up." she said with a smile.

"with a little help." Hilary said looking over to Daryl.

"a little?" Daryl said in disbelief, "shit all you did was read the directions."

Hilary smiled and told him she would make it up to him at some point. He shook his head and walked over to his tent. Holly said something about getting their stuff, so the three blondes walked to the van and grabbed their bags. She pulled her Nightmare before Christmas Luggage bag behind her

"Shit, girl, how much clothes you got in there?" Daryl asked looking down at her suitcase. Hilary looked at him and grinned.

"shut up. Just cause your outfits consist of jeans and sleeveless shirts." She smiled before entering her tent and started setting it up. Holly sat on her sleeping bag and looked up at Hilary tears in her eyes.

"what's up Holly?"

"can we sit this out?" she held up a picture of her mother. Hilary smiled at told her she never had to ask to sit it out. Holly hugged Hilary and told her that she loved her. Hilary smiled softly and hugged her back feeling Holly's hot tears dampening her shirt.

"aww honey whats wrong?"

"i miss mom." she said, "i miss being in high school. I miss my friends."

Hilary just held her as she cried not knowing what to tell the crying girl. Holly pulled away and asked her aunt why this was happening.

If I only knew the answer. Hilary hugged the girl again before wiping away the tears.

"i don't know...but we've got to be strong for Claire-bear okay?" Holly nodded and said she was sorry. Hilary frowned and informed the teenager to never be sorry for crying, she killed her forehead and smirked.

"So Glen huh?" Hilary teased. Holly blushed and shoved her aunt away. Suddenly an evil smirk appeared on the seventeen year old's face.

"sooo...you and Daryl huh?" she questioned back.

"Shut up you." Hilary laughed and walked over to her sleeping bag, Holly smiled softly at Hilary

"i think you need someone."

"end of the world and you're talking about love. Yep you're a teenager." They laughed as Claire walked in with a book. She held it up and Hilary took it. It was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Claire asked if Hilary could read it to her, she wanted to know if Harry ever beats 'snake-face'. Hilary smiled and nodded.

"Haven't read it yet either, might as well find out if Harry lives." Hilary said; causing the eight year old to smile and hug her aunt. Holly looked at Hilary with a grin, who looked at her questioningly

"I wonder if good old Dan's still alive." She said causing Hilary to laugh

"What about Rupert?" Hilary asked with a smile. "they're probably holed up in some safe house only for celebrities."

Suddenly Holly let out a fake sob, when Hilary asked her what was wrong, she went off on how she was supposed to marry Josh Hutcheson, but now he was dead. Hilary laughed and shook her head. Holly smiled through her fake tears.

"And Sean Patrick Flanery I was going to marry him too." Hilary said copying her fake crying. The aunt and niece duo broke down laughing as Claire just stared at them

"You guys are weird I'm going to show Sophia my book." She walked out and Hilary heard someone ask her something. "they're talking about dead celebrities they wanted to marry...Mr. Daryl they're weird."

"I heard that!" Hilary said walking out of the tent, Claire giggled and ran over to show Sophia her book. Daryl asked her who she was 'going to marry', Hilary smiled and turned to him

"Sean Patrick Flanery." Hilary said; Daryl looked at her confused, she gasped; "you know Boondock Saints, Irish brother fighting the mofia?"

"Never heard of it." She stared at him and asked him if he lived under a rock his whole life. He glared at her and stomped off. Hilary frown, she hadn't meant to offend him. She sighed and looked at the sky; it was getting dark, causing her to frown. Nighttime really sucked for Hilary; she didn't get any sleep because she would watch the girls sleep.

"Aunt Hilly?" Holly said coming out of the tent. Hilary looked at her. "Can you try to get some sleep tonight?"

With that she walked towards Glen and T-Dog. She looked towards the van and smiled, remembering what she had hidden in there. She walked over to it and pull up the secret compartment where she had stashed my goodies.

"what are ya doing?" a voice said behind her causing her to jump and turn. Shane stood behind her a grin of her face. She shook her head and informed him she was just getting some things. "well dinner's ready, it's not much but it's better than crackers."

She smiled hoping it didn't look at fake as it felt. She nodded and said she would be right there; he nodded and walked off. Hilary muttered to herself as she got to the tent; she put her bag on her sleeping bag and took a drink from the vodka filled water bottle.

"Auntie Hilly?" Claire said walking into the tent. Hilary nodded her head prompting the girl to continue "Ms. Lori wanted me to let you know dinner's ready."

"I'll be right out there." She said with a sad smile. Claire smiled and skipped out. Hilary follow her as she walked over to Sophia and Carol. Hilary smiled glad that Claire had made a friend. Holly was sitting with Glen so Hilary walk over to where Daryl was sitting.

"I didn't mean to offend you earlier." she said holding out a water bottle for him. He looked up at me and takes the water bottle. "fair warning... it ain't water."

He opened it and sniffed, A smirk formed on his face. He nodded his head in thanks; she smiled and asked him if she could sit by him. He nodded but asked why

"I don't care for Shane much and something tells me that if I sit by you he won't bother me." She said; Daryl nodded and Hilary sat down; she began watching Holly and Claire, Making sure they were eating.

"are you not eating?" Lori asked walking up to Hilary, who shook her head, she told Lori that she wanted to make sure that Holly and Claire got enough before she ate. Lori tried to hand her a plate but Hilary shook her head. She frowned but walked back to Rick and Carl.

"Ya gotta eat." Daryl said. She looked at him and frown.

"Holly and Claire need to eat more." Hilary stood up and walked to her Tent, her head began feeling woozy

"AUNT HILLY!" Hilary heard Holly yell before everything went black,
