New fic...again... I'm all over the place, but hey what can you do? I'm seriously obsessed with the walking dead! Really, I think this is unhealthy and unnatural (nah, the unnatural thing here would be if you saw the walking dead and didn't love it!).
Ok so like every other TWD fan, I am head over heels for Daryl Dixon, haha! 3 Multible ideas has popped into my head while watching the show about possible Daryl/OC storylines and I just couldn't put it off any longer. So this is just one of many ideas. it will hopefully and most likely involve multible chapters (how many? I don't know). If being honest, I don't really have the time at the moment to write but I just can't help myself. :)

I know I have two other fics that are currently on standby because of the lack of time and partly because of writers block. But it is still my intention to continue both of those stories as well as this. I just can't be fully comitted to update regularly at the moment, but bare with me please?

I hope this story will be to your liking. Please let me know what you think (good and bad) and perhaps if you have some ideas to the story, I would love to hear those as well :)

( I know the gramma might not be perfect but please keep in mind that english is not my first language and I'm not a pro at writing.. - at all! I'm just doing this for fun )

I must admit that I unfortunately do not own The Walking Dead and that I have simply borrowed any similarities and Daryl Dixon among others from the great minds behind the show.

Enjoy ;)

Something' tells me

good things are coming

and I ain't gonna not believe

(Anthony Hamilton feat- Elayna Boynton - Freedom)

She quickly put every useful and necessary item in her bag. She ran up and down the aisles. She had to move fast before too many biters noticed their presence. They had already taken care of a couple of them when entering the little supermarket.

'Hurry the fuck up Kate or I'm gonna leave you here'

She hurried to the back exit where John was watching for biters. They were both antsy about being in the town. Not knowing how many biters where nearby.

'Lets go then' She said to him while passing him at the door in order to get to their car, parked just outside of the store. John ran to the driver's side and Kate to the passenger's. They quickly closed their doors and Kate threw the full bags on the backseat. They drove out of the small town only passing a couple of walkers.

After a couple of minutes John broke the silence 'So did you get everything on the list?'

'Yeah most of it.. but not enough to last us for long'. They drove the 15 miles to their camp in silence. Both of them getting down from the adrenaline rush you get when you leave the somewhat safety of camp.

They were set up on a old gas station, which they had succeeded in clearing of walkers and they had set up a fence made of cars and large objects. It wasn't much and if a horde of biters decided to pass by it probably wouldn't stand. But the gas station was placed in the middle of nowhere, not near any larger cities, so they hadn't come upon more than a couple of stray biters. Nothing they couldn't handle.

As they got near camp they saw Ian on top of one of the cars keeping watch. He nodded at them, acknowledging their presence as they parked in front of the homemade fence. Kate got the bags from the back seat and handed one to John before they both jump over the hood of one of the cars that made the fence. They were met by Susan and her and Ians two kids. Fourteen year-old Matt and 8 year-old Emily. Which was in fact the whole camp, it was just the six of them.

'Hey kids' Kate ruffled their hair and got on her knees. 'Look what I got you in town' She said while rummaging through one of the bags. She found what she was looking for and held two candybars.

'Wow! Thanks Kate. Is it really all for me?' Little Emily asked.

'Sure is' Big smiles were plastered on both of the kids' faces. Susan told them to go inside and enjoy the candy. After the kids ran inside, all four of the adults gathered by the car that Ian were standing on.

'So how did it go. Any trouble?' Ian asked

'Naah, the town was almost empty of biters. They must have left since the last time we were there' John answered while looking at Kate for confirmation. Kate nodded in agreement. 'But the store is as good as empty now. We must go further out the next time we go for supplies' Kate added. Both men nodded and they seperated.

Kate went inside with bags and placed them in on the selves they usually used for supplies. Both of the kids where sitting on the cots they used for sleeping while enjoying their candy. They looked like they savored every little bite.
Kate went to the back of the gas station where the toilet was. When they first arrived they had been surprised to find that the old gas station had its own water supply. So they were able to have running water, which was always appreciated. There were a small mirror on the wall of the bathroom. After washing her hands, Kate just stood there starring at herself in the mirror. She was filthy, she hadn't had a proper shower in weeks, but settled for water from the tap and wet towels. Her caramel brown colored hair that usually went a little pass her shoulders were tied back in a high ponytail. Her green eyes stared back at her in the mirror and she could see the bags under her eyes begin to form because of lack of sleep. They had an adult on watch every hour of every day, so that ment that you weren't able to get a full night's sleep. But even then they all had trouble sleeping. No one could escape the nightmares that followed them everywhere. They had all seen a lot of grusome things that none of them had been prepared for. Done things, that before the outbreak would have been considered criminal and wrong. Lost people they loved and cared for.
