"Coraline! Go!" Just like that, she started to run. Runing like that was the only why to survive this world now. The moans of walkers weren't hard to miss. Cora thought about turning back but for what? A undead walker friend just waiting to hug her? She ran into her familys home hopeing not to see another of those- things.

"Mom!? Mom, are you here!? Pleas-" A soft gasp escaped Cora's lips. The living room was a mess, the walls were covered in blood. Cora wanted to scearm but she calmed herself down.

'Just breathe, Cora..' She told herself as she stepped over the bodies. Her mind raced, trying to think of something she could use to befend herself with.

Then with a gasp of realizion of the perfect weapon. 'The Gator Machete! I can use that! Oh Thank you mom for liking sharp things!' She thought smiling as she ran into her mom's room and looked around for a large knife. The gator machete has been in Cora's family since her grandfather won it in a poker game. She grabbed it off the wall just in time to see a walker coming out of the closet. She moved back the remembered that what she had in her hands. With one swing of the michete, Cora got the Walker in the head. Gasping, she grabbed her Machete and pulling out of the walker's skull.

"Coraline!?" A man's voice echoed though out the house. She turned around to see her best friend,Daryl Dixon, standing there in the door way. He reached for her hand yelling, "C'mon! We gotta go!" Cora put the Michete in her bag before grabbing his hand and running to the truck.

Daryl drove down the road as Cora tried to breathe like she wasn't having a heartattack. Cora just killed someone...or something that looked like a person. Shaking, Cora laid her head onto Daryl's shoulder. He saved her ass- again! Daryl looked down at Cora and place his arm around her shoulders pulling her close.

"You ok, " He said looking at her quickly then looked back at the road. Cora sighed weakly before nodding. He knew she was lying but she didn't care really. All Cora cared about now was getting away. "I know you are lyin, Coraline."

Cora looked at Daryl with a small frown. "I was just attacked and I kill a walker," she stopped and sighed once more Looking out the passager seat window.

"I'm fine" Cora wasn't fine. She was stressed, scared, and she was even worried about the kids. Sophia was still missing and Carl was stuck in a world were being a kid was a bad thing. The rest of the ride back to the farm was silent between them.

(*Starting 1st Person*)
"Oh great, we have a damn welcome home party..." I mumbled seeing Shane standing were the truck went. Daryl chuckled parking the truck in front of the pissed off Shane. I climbed out the truck door hoping Shane didn't see me. Shane walked over to me grabbing my arm roughly. I let out a yelp staring up at Shane's blackish eyes.

"Shane! Let 'er go!" Daryl growled storming over pointing a arrow at Shane. Shane's stare never left my blue one. I tried to pull my now bruised arm away from Shane but that failed. Daryl was getting mad at this point and I knew it. "I ain't sayin' it again, Shane!"

"Now where did you love birds run off to, huh? Did y'all look for that girl? Probably not! Now Cora, I want you to tell me where the hell you and him went!" Shane yelled shaking my arm roughly. Daryl finally pushed Shane back making him let go of my arm. I fell back bumping the arm on a to a sharp rock. He was just about to punch Shane in the face for me but Rick came running over with Lori. Rick grabbed Daryl pulling away from Shane as Lori ran over helpping me to my feet.

"C'mon Rick! Let Him fight...I wanna kick the red off his little neck!" Shane barked smiling at Daryl. Rick held onto the Daryl growling, "Really! Ya wanna get ya ass kicked!"

"Boys! Stop it! This is not the time for a fight." Lori yelled making all three men jump and started to help me move to the house. Daryl pulled away from Rick and Shane to follow me. I sighed thanking Lori and sat on the steps on the house. I looked at my arm sadly as the mixture of black and blue became to appeared more. Lori walked into the house to get something for my arm.

"Your arm," Daryl said sitting down by me. I didn't say a word anything. I looked down at the ground, thinking. Daryl reached over taking my hand in his. "Coraline?"

I looked at are hands together then looks up at him. "Ya need to know somethin'." He began.

"And what's that, Daryl?" I said weakly. Daryl was about to say something but Lori came out with the med. We let go of are hands as Lori sat down looking at my arm. Daryl stood up fixing his jacket before walking away, "I'll tell ya later."

I blinked a few times wondering what Daryl wanted to say to me. Lori started to giggle as she wrapped my arm. "What's so funny, Lori?" I looked over at Lori. Lori shook her head finishing up then looked at her, "I think He likes You, Cora."

I started to laugh. Daryl Dixon liking me, Coraline Clay? Now that's funny, more funny then Shane's face when Rick came back from the 'Dead'. Lori shook her head slowly, "Now just hear me out, Cora. Just think of the way he looks at you, smiles at you. He doesn't even smile at anybody else. And don't say you haven't seen him stare at you, Cora."

Lori smiled at the moment finishing her little 'speech'. I began to smile at the thought. I looked up to see Daryl, Rick, Shane, Andrea and T-Dog looking at something. I then turned to Lori and hugged her saying 'thank you'. "Don't go swing that Machete around, ok. We don't want your arm in a sling, do we?" Lori said pulling way.

"No ma'am," I giggled softly watching Lori stand up wraping off her pants. I smiled getting up and running over to Daryl, who was walking to the horse barm. "Daryl! Wait up!" I yelled making Daryl turned his head to see me. He smiled. Wait he smiled?

"What's wrong? Did somethin' happen, Coraline?" He looked down at me and I shook my head smiling back. "I wanna come with you. I mean I can hel-" "Oh no, Coraline, I'm going alone. No if, ands, or buts." Daryl snorted abit and continued to walk off. I crossed my arms lightly walking behind him. He picked a random horse out and saddled it up. I held onto his crossbow for dear life. I didn't want him going out there, especially alone. With a sigh, he rubbed the back of his neck. "Coraline. My Crossbow, Please." "But Daryl.." I wined softly not looking at him. I just stopped myself from saying something stupid, so I handed him his Crossbow. "Just be careful, Daryl, please." With a nod he rode off.

The day went on and all I could think about was Daryl. Was he ok? How long will he be gone? I tried to keep my mind off of him by playing cards with Glenn. "Glenn, do you have a 9?" I stated. "Nah! Go fish, C.C.!" Glenn laughed pointing at the deck of cards. I picked up the queen of heart card as I make a face at Glenn. He smiled as he started to ask, "Do you have a-"

"WALKER!" Someone screamed from outside the tent. I was about to fallow Glenn out of the tent but then Dale started to yell, "Coraine! Stay in the tent!" I nodded my head and watched from the tent. BANG! Andrea shot at the walker. Then I heard Rick yell bloody murder. Dale and Andrea booked it acrossed the field. A few minutes later, Rick and Shane was dragging someone to the house. My eyes widen realizing who it was. I covered my mouth. "D-Daryl."

Carol ran over to me and told me to go. So I nodded my head and ran acrossed the yard and into the house. Lori and Andrea stopped me as I about to reach the room. "Coraline! Coraline, calm down he's fine just a scratch." Lori whipered holding my left arm. "Lori's right. And I didn't mea-"Andrea began but I stopped her by pushing passed them and walked into the room. I held back my tears as I looked at Daryl's limp body lying on the bed. I leaned down and kissed his forehead softly then sighed. "I-I should've went with you. I should've." I sat down on the bed starting to cry. All these emotions. All these feelings. Pouring out of me. I felt the bed move abit and then his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Why are you cryin'?" Daryl mumbled as into my side. I smiled softly placing my arms on his. "I wasn't crying, Daryl." "Liar." Shaking my head, I carefully touched everyone of his knuckles. He chuckles then twitched as the pain shot through him. Let go with a sigh and roll onto his good side. Looking at his back I started to frowned. I never seen Daryl so...bruised and broken. I got up and walked over to the other side so he could face me. He had his arm under the pillow, while his head rested on it. His eyes were shut; yea he was sleeping. I smiled weakly sitting on the comfy looking chair were his crossbow was leaning against. Looking around, I realized that his jacket with wings on it was on the floor. I got up and grabbed it. With a smile I slowly put his jacket on before sitting in the chair again. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

((Dream Mode))

I heard scearming. "Coraline!" "Someone get her! She's gonna fall!" I stood there watching my 10year old self hanging upside down crying. My mom and are neighbors stood around yelling and crying because none of then wanted to climb up the huge oak tree I was in. Then a boy in ripped up jeans who was about 12 started to climb the tree to say the 10year old me. It was about 15feet of the ground when he finally reached her. "I need ya to focus on me, alright?" She nodded her head blushing abit. A 16 year old walked over smirking, "C'mon Darlina, save da gal." I knew it was Merle...Asshole. Then the branch her foot was caught on snapped. Everyone, even I gaspped, but thankfully the boy grabbed her before she fell. He put her on his back and climbed down to everyone. She climbed off his back running over and hugging a lady with short brown hair. The little girl turn to him. "T-Thank you, um w-wait, what is your name?" The Boy snorted "Names Daryl..."
