"It's too hot in here" was her first thought when Tyreese and Sasha shuffled all 20 of the "un-fit" people into the stuffy woodbury kitchen if you could call it that, this whole "war" was a joke this Governor guy didn't have a clue what he was thinking and frankly Riley thought he was a bit full off shit. She arrived at woodbury a few day's ago her group was attacked and she was the only one to make it out alive from the moment she stepped foot into this place it felt wrong all the people were idiots, thinking they can just go and take whatever they wanted and trusted this creep! She flat out refused to join in the invading of the prison after the Governor gave her this story about terrorist which sounded like total bull shit, she may be only 15 (16 in a few weeks finally) but one thing she wasn't was an idiot and she could see right through this Governor guy.

"I hope my little jeff's okay" the old lady i think it was sighed, she should be worried she let her 17 year old son go to war with in her opinion was a highly unstable man.

"She'll be fine you just gotta trust the Governor ma'm" the big guy Tyreese reassured and Riley couldn't hold back the snort.


Seven hours, they have been held up in this stuffy, smelly, ugly kitchen for seven hours! God she was bored out of her mind and getting really annoyed with these old people and baby's if ones not crying there saying "i'm hungry", "when are they gonna be back!" I think it was pretty obvious by now none of them were coming back, Sasha looked really tense and Riley couldn't help but find this the perfect opportunity to poke some fun.

"Do you even know how to shoot that thing?" the young teenager called from across the room gesturing to the Shot gun in Sasha's hands.

"Better then you can" she replied the young girl was already getting a rise out of her and that made her smile.

"Please, you look like you have no idea what you're doing!"

"And you do! You're what a 15 year old girl from Houston, Texas a CITY! I doubt you've ever been hunting in you're life!" Sasha snapped aw the poor women so tense.

"Yes ma'm but i was born and raised till the age of 9 in this beautiful state of Georgia!"

"Sure don't sound like it"

"Just wait till I get angry that's when it comes out, anyway's i learned how to shoot a gun when i was 8 and was just thinking i could teach you" she started but Sasha cut her off saying she was good and went back to staring at nothing.

As Riley leaned back against the wall she couldn't help but smile at the memory of the two crazy rednecks teaching her how to shoot and hunt.

*june 10th 2005 her 8th birthday*

"Uncle D! How much longer!" the little girl whined they had been out for hours and every deer they saw she always managed to make noise and scare them away. Merle had eventually given up and went home to help his women set up for a little birthday dinner they decided to have for the little girl.

"Listen Pork-chop" the little girl groaned at the nick name Daryl gave her making him smirk, "the key is yah have to be quiet, so quiet that the deer can't hear yah" he crouched down next to the girl and smiled as she huffed and puffed and helped her support the shot gun.

They waited to about five minutes before finally a deer came in there path.

"UNCL-" she started but he quickly shushed her.

"Remember quiet" he whispered while she slowly nodded.

"now go an aim yah gun" she did with shaky arms.

"Aim" he helped her adjust and tapped her finger on the trigger to indicate it was okay to shoot.

And she did, and the deer it went down.

'OH MY GOD I GOT IT!" She yelled her thick dark brown hair going everywhere.

"You sure did" he said walking over to it, "a kill shot too"

"I'm gonna give you a run for your money uncle D!" she teased Daryl just rolled his eyes.

"Yeah yeah go tell Merle an your mamma ta come give me a hand will yah?"

He turned to start on the deer when he felt a heavy weight on his hip, he looked down and saw that Riley was huggin him tight.

"Thank you so much Uncle D, this is the best birthday ever I love you!" she squealed before running towards the house screaming "MAMMA MAMMA!"

"KNOCK BEFORE YAH JUS WALK IN!" a smiling Daryl yelled out at her.

"Damn kid" he muttered turning back to his work.


Everyone was dead, well everyone but the Governor of course shot down every single "soldier" all except Karen (who really got under my skin if you ask me) a fella named Rick Grimes informed us before rushing us onto a bus were we get to a brand new home a prison! Yay!

is sleeping on me and all his snoring is giving me a headache, were on a bus and it seems like everyone's crying. Everyone but the tiny group and her of course she didn't know anybody and really wasn't all that shocked to begin with.

She looked around and couldn't take her eye's off this one guy, he looked just like Uncle D well older of course and he looked i don't know not uncomfortable Or not as much as Uncle D did? It couldn't be him nah Daryl's dead, hes dead right? No that was him! Ugh she really wasn't sure. His seat was empty so she decided to chance it, she slowly knocked off of her and walked over sitting next to him, he immediately tensed up and she couldn't help but notice how Rick stopped talking to Karen to watch closely.

"Hello" I said as sweetly as i could smiling up at him, he was a lot taller then me he just glanced my way and barely nodded.

"Cool crossbow" it was just like Uncle D's. She could feel her excitement growing it really looked like him and he even acted a bit like him too! What confirmed that it really was him was when he started chewing on his thumbnail, uncle D always did that when he was uncomfortable.

"You know what I could really go for" she started waiting for his reply but of course, nothing but his eyebrow did raise,"something like pig or i don't know a pork-chop" she sent him a wicked grin and it widened when his eye's start to grow wide and a small flash of a smile go across his face.

"Well i'll be damned" he said that voice that she missed so much and thought she would never hear again sounded like music to her ears.

"Hey uncle D" she said slapping his shoulder, "long time no see huh!"
