I havent written in a very long time but I recently became interested in the walking dead and I wanted to give Daryl a little more then just being a hot guy with a bow and arrow...I just posted one chapter and its short because i am unsure if i even have it in me to do this anymore, give me some input and let me know what everyone thinks! If some people like it i will keep it going!

Daryl closed the cell after he walked out and locked it up. He handed the key to Rick and looked at him "Don't know why we gotta lock her up like some damn animal," he muttered. Rick sighed and looked at him

"Daryl we don't know her." he said putting his hand on his hip and looking at his now friend in the eyes. "We just can't take the risk, we don't know what she's capable of." He finished quickly.

Daryl rolled his eyes and looked at Rick "I know she's capable of saving my ass, cus she sure as hell did it back there, SHE got me back in one piece, never thought I would say it but there was way to many walkers out there for me to handle alone" he blurted out. Rick tried to think of the right thing to say.

"We are just taking the proper precautions to take care of our own" Rick finally said something that sounded right to him. Daryl nodded and slung his bow over his shoulder.

"I'll take watch" he stated walking towards the cell block door, Glenn was just walking out zipping up his jacket and looked at both men confused.

"Thought watch was mine tonight, plus Daryl haven't you been out all day?" He said looking to Daryl and then to Rick. All Daryl did was walk out the cellblock and pull the door closed.

"Let me know when she wakes up!" Daryl yelled back to them. Glenn looked over at Rick who shook his head as he walked back to his cell and pulled the curtain.

The day before

Merle insisted that he come with Daryl on his mission to get some more baby food for Judith, but Daryl wouldn't let him. He wanted to be alone for five damn minutes, just to think and breath and get some space. Never thought he would ever consider running through a forest hiding from walkers would be getting away but it was.

He was also partly looking for the Governor, he didn't want anyone to know that, especially Merle. That bastard nearly killed his brother and he wasn't going to get away with it. As he was deep in thought about what he would do if he found him he heard the snap of a branch, he turned quickly and had his crossbow pointed in the direction of the snap, he was staring at a women, a women he had never seen.

"Lower yours and ill lower mine," she said quickly. She was holding a shotgun pointed right at Daryl's face. He nodded slowly and lowered the bow.

"Thought you were a walker w'sall" he spit onto the ground. She looked around and then back at him. "You alone?" he asked.

She glared at him and lowered her weapon and but still kept her finger on the trigger. "Why are you gonna rob me if I am?" she asked. He chuckled a little bit and looked around "Are you alone?" she asked.

"Why? Ya gonna rob me?" he asked laughing a little bit. She rolled her eyes.

"Yes, I'm alone, I have been for about three months now" she said quickly, as mean as she wanted to be to protect herself she really missed talking to someone, this was her first real human contact in three months and it was nice to see a person and have them actually talk to you and not just grunt and try to chase after you and make you dinner.

He hung his head, how could a woman this small be out here on her own. "S'yer name?" he asked looking at her through his long hair. She slung the gun over her shoulder and looked at him.

"I'm Olivia, and you?"

"Daryl"

"Nice to meet you Da…" she stopped in the midst of his name and picked her gun up and he felt a bullet wiz by his head. He looked at her with complete shock but then realized that he wasn't her target.

"The fuck?" he turned around and saw a group of walkers heading towards them, about ten.

"A man let them out of a trailer! I don't know how long he has been watching us but I didn't hear a car" she said as he stood beside her now shooting an arrow straight through the head of a walker. Olivia leaned the gun against the tree and pulled a giant knife out of her boot and charged, he did the same. After taking them down he looked at her out of breath.

"We need to go now!" he said looking at her she bent down to grab her gun and the next thing she knew an arrow went straight into her shoulder. She looked up at the man she just met who looked over in horror and stared through the woods. He heard footsteps running in the other direction and knew it was one of The Governor's henchmen. He didn't want to stick around to find out though. He looked down at the girl who was going into shock. He grabbed the shotgun and then the girl. He slung her over the opposite side of his shoulder and started to run.

Olivia was going in and out of consciousness. She would open her eyes and see the ground, then muddy boots; she knew she was moving she just didn't know how. She heard a whistle and then it all went black.
