Chapter 2
"Da hell ya are Merle." Daryl knew how horrible Merle treated women and even as much of a pain in the ass this gal was. He wasn't about to let Merle get his hands on her. Besides maybe she really did want to get to him and not Merle for a change.
"Aw hell Jim's out there stumbling around all fucked up again." said Merle.
Daryl looked out the window again to see one of Merle's scum bag friends walking around. Daryl walked outside toward Rayne. But as he got closer he could hear Jim groaning and snarling toward Rayne. He had blood all over his mouth, it was dripping down the front of him. He noticed the right side of his face had been ripped clean off. He felt panic welling up inside him but he pushed it away. Dixon boys weren't afraid of nothing.
He came up behind Rayne and grabbed the back of her arm, "Walk real slow with me back to tha house. There sumthing aint right with him."
As Daryl started to pull her back the bloodied and crazed Jim lunged at her. He was snapping at her trying to bite her.
"Oh fuck" ,she screamed as Daryl picked her up in his arm and headed toward the trailer. Merle came outside and blasted Jim in the gut with his rifle. Jim stopped and looked up at Merle and tried to go after him. Merle blew his head clean off and he finally hit the ground.
"What the fuck was what!? That mother fucker tried to fucking bite me!" Rayne was scared out of her mind.
"Calm down doll face. Daryl saved your sweet ass." Merle told her.
She looked over her shoulder into Daryl's eyes. He looked at her but then quickly looked away. He also realized that he still had his hands wrapped around her waist holding her close to him. She blushed and pulled away from him. She was messing with her hair out of nervous habit. Merle smiled an evil smile at Daryl then turned away to walk back inside.
Daryl turned to Rayne, "Ya comin' or not woman?"
"Don't call me woman, redneck, I have a fucking name ya know." She pointed her finger at him.
"So do I, so quit calling me redneck!"
Once again he got in her face. So close that she felt his breath on her lips. The longer he stayed there the more labored their breathing became. She spoke softly to him again but this time there was a hint of lust. "Are you trying to tease me cuz I think it might be working."
He pulled back, kind of surprised but her statement. He rolled his eyes at her, "If I was trin' ta tease ya, you would know it. Now git your ass in da house."
"Now that would be an interesting sight if I do say so myself."
Daryl just shook his head and followed her into the house. Merle turned on the TV and everyone was talking about the infection. People were in a panic and headed to Atlanta for safety. The infection was spreading like wild fire all over the east coast.
Daryl asked, "What do ya think Merle? Should we head to Atlanta too?"
Just then there was more groaning coming from outside. Merle looked out the window to find the neighbor girl walking around with half her guts hanging out. "Aw shit man, looks like Bobbie Jo got infected too. Damn it, I was gonna hit that later tonight."
He kicked the door open and put a bullet in her head. He shut the door once he was done and looked to Daryl. "Load up the truck and git the guns. We are git'en da fuck outta here. Ya gonna bring hot stuff with you?"
"She ain't my responsibility. She is on her own."
Rayne looked over at the two men who were ready to drop her like a bad habit. "Well fuck you too then!"
She stormed out of the trailer and headed to her car. She opened the trunk and pulled out her 9mm that she kept hidden. She slammed the trunk shut and checked to see if it was still loaded. She stuck it in the back of her pants.
Daryl was loading up the truck with a crossbow slung over his shoulder. Just then she had a moment of fear and panic. What if she gets infected after she leaves? What if she never sees them again? What if she never gets to know what its like to kiss him. She found him attractive there was no denying that. It wasn't like she was in love with him or anything because she doesn't do that. Falling in love is for normal girls, not girls like her. Who would fall in love with a stripper anyway? She said quietly to herself, "fuck it."
She walked right up to him and before he could say some kind of smart ass remark, she slapped him in the face. She stood her ground ready for him to hit her. Although he did exactly what she thought he would do. He stood there in complete shock for a split second. Then he got right up in her face and raised his fist ready to strike her. Before he could react she pressed her lips against his. His body relaxed and then tensed up again. He couldn't deny how pissed he was but also couldn't deny the surge of electric energy that he was feeling. He gave into her intoxicating taste. He pushed her back into the side of the truck. Their tongues met with a fury. He had never been kissed with such a passion before. He laced his fingers in her hair and lifted her left leg up so he could grab her ass. She pulled away from him, both of them breathing heavily, "I didn't want to die without knowing what it was like to kiss you. Goodbye Daryl."
He watched her walk away swaying her hips. He was so thrown off at this point he couldn't even think. When she got to her car another infected person came after her but this time she had no fear. She stood there with her legs spread apart and pulled out her 9mm. He aimed and fired a shot right into its head. She jumped in the car, fired up the engine, peeled wheels and drove off out of sight.
Merle stood next to Daryl and said, "Damn baby brother, now that's a woman!"
Daryl shook his head and started to pack up the truck again.
Rayne finally found the highway and headed into Atlanta. She thought that something was wrong when she saw all the deserted cars on the road heading out of the city she started to panic a little. The road into the city however was completely empty. There was no way in fucking hell she was going into the city now. She had a bad feeling in the pit of her gut that something had gone wrong within the city. She could see infected people walking around the out skirts of the city. She turned the car around and headed back the way she came. After awhile of driving she could see another car coming her way. She was so relieved that there were more people around. She was hoping that they would be nice and let her tag along with them. When it got closer she noticed it was a blue pick up. She knew exactly who it was and shook her head. It just had to be him right, out of all the people in the world she would run into him again. She flashed her lights and slowed down.
She pulled up right next to them, "Well hello there stranger. I wouldn't go that way if I were you boys. The road is empty going into the city and it looks like people were trying to get out but never made it."
"I thought the news said it was safe?" asked Daryl.
"Well I guess everyone else heard that too and went there but they all got infected. I turned around before I got too far into the city."
Merle pulled up on his bike next to Daryl's truck, "Yea well we need a gun shop lit'le lady so we best get to it"
"Can I follow you guys or am I still not allowed in the cool club?" asked Rayne.
Merle looked up at Daryl and said, "She is your woman, it's not up to me brother. If it was she could ride on my face."
"Oh your such a fucking pig. I think I threw up in my mouth." Rayne held her hand over her mouth, pretending to vomit.
Daryl gave him another death stare and said to him, "She ain't mah fucking woman!" Daryl pointed at Rayne, "Ya best not slow us down girl, cuz I will leave ya ass behind and not think twice."
"Oh, trust me that piece of shit truck cant keep up with my baby."
"We will see about that." he narrowed his eyes at her.
Merle took the lead on his bike. Rayne and Daryl drove side by side behind him. They were trying to see who could so faster. Of course Rayne's Monte Carlo beat his shitty pick up. The sun was starting to set when they tired another back road into the city. Maybe the other side of the city wouldn't be that over run and they would get into a gun shop. They pulled up on a few cars that were pulled off on the side of the road. She jumped out to see if anyone was alive and she met some people that had grouped together. There was machine gunfire off in the distance so Shane asked if they wanted to follow them to a quarry that they knew was near by. Rayne looked to Daryl and agreed, much to Merle's protest, but they figured that they would survive longer as a group. Rayne and the Dixon boys followed the caravan of cars and an RV to where the quarry was. It was really dark out so a few of the guys lit a small fire. She got out of the car and grabbed a smoke out of her pack but couldn't find a lighter.
She headed over to Daryl who was setting up a tent for him and Merle. "Hey Daryl, ya got a light?"
He tossed her his lighter and she tossed it back after she lit up. Merle was sitting in a camping chair drinking a beer. Of course he wouldn't forget to bring the beer.
"Hey doll face wanna come an' keep ol' Merle company? It coul' get mighty cold out t'night."
"No fucking thank you Merle I think I'll be fine sleeping in my car. Goodnight boys." she wiggled her fingers at them.
She pulled her car away from the group as well but not too close to the Dixon boys. She started to move some of her stuff out of the back seat so she could make room to sleep back there. The Dixon boys had lit their own fire so there was a little bit of light. She pulled out a huge case from the backseat. Dropping it on the ground she opened it up. Daryl was watching her from a distance as she pulled back the strings on a compound hunting bow. She turned her head to him and gave him a wink. He stared at her with him mouth open slightly.
"Now who would da knew tha' she coul' hunt. The two of yall shoul' go huntin' in da mornin'. See if you can get us some meat." Merle said to his brother.
"Yea whatever" scoffed Daryl.
