Rate and review
Harli woke up to bright sun light in her eyes. It took her a minute to remember where she was, when suddenly all the memories came flooding back to her. The deer, the hunter named Daryl, the deal she made with him, the camp, how she slept in his tent, on his cot, and In his clothes. Something she would have never of done if the world had been right. She found it strange how she found her self easily trusting the redneck. She never trusted anyone. At least her mother had always thought her to make people earn her trust, never give it away freely.
She sat up and noticed that the sun was so bright becouse the tent flap was open. That coaused her to look down at the place Daryl has slept to find it empty.
She heard shuffling outside and talking"Pocahontas still sleelin?" Came Merels voice, "must of given it to er good an hard"
"Shut up! It ain't like that. She didn't have a place to sleep an everyone else was already In bed so I gave er my cot" came Daryl's deffenise voice.
"Ya gave er ya cot?" Merel scoffed, "come on now baby brotha, I taught ya better then that, ya start lettin er pussy whip ya now, it won't eva stop"
"Shut it, Merel. " Daryl said again.
Harli saw Daryl come threw the tent flap, his face momentarily shocked when he saw she was awake.
"Hey, yar up." He said plainly, hoping she didn't hear Merel's and his conversation. "Sum of the women did laundry today so I gave em yars, Amy brought ya sum of er clothes to wear."
"Thank you. I guess ill get dressed now." Said the raven hair girl as she took off the blanket and stood up.
Daryl took the time to notice her in his clothes for the first time. It had been dark last night and he couldn't see that his long sleeve flannel was way to big on her, the collar falling off one of her shoulders, as it hung loosely on her, the bottom coming to the middle of her thighs and the sleeves ends where way past her hands, hiding them in the cotton. Her hair was messed up and tangled from sleep. She looked like a rag doll and to Daryl it was the most adorable thing.
He excused himself to let her get dresses zipping up the tent falp behind him. She pulled on Amy's clothes, they fitted her nicely. There was a pair of black sofie shorts and a white tank top with a built in bra. No underwear, but Harli didn't complain.
Once dresses she raked her fingers threw her hair to attempt to make it neat and she advenulty gave up and threw it into a pony tail, with the pony tail holder she always kept on her wrist.
Once she was done she unzipped the tent and walked out to find Merel gone and Daryl attending to his crossbow. He noticed she had come out and looked up only to quickly look away again. Ashamed at the thoughts that had entered his head.
"HARLI! HEY HARLI!" yelled a voice, approaching her and Daryl both looked up to see the Asian kid known as Glenn comimg their way. Daryl admittedly became annoyed."Hey, I've been looking for you all morning. I wanted to get your list before we left for the run" he said as he got into talking distance of the native.
"Um yea of course," Harli made her way back into Daryl's tent to get the list she had written down while still at the camp fire and handed to Glenn "Be safe." She added as he thanked her and took off to the group waiting to leave.
Daryl watched as he ran off, he didn't know why but the kid had gotten on his nerves just now.
"So what's the plan for today?" Harli's voice broke Daryl out of his thoughts and he looked up at her from were he was sitting.
"I'm goin huntin, see if I can find anything else to eat" he said poking his small fire with a stick suddenly avoiding her sat down next to him and watched the flame,
"Can I come with?" She suddenly wasn't sure what to say at first, he thought about it for several minutes amd just as Harli was about to give up he said yes.
"Awesome, when do we leave?" She asked excited to be away from the group and their questions.
"Now." Daryl simply stated standing up and grabbing his cross followed suit grabbing her long bow amd quiver following him into the woods.
...
The first few hours were silent between them, Daryl had picked up on a deers trail and was following it closely. While Harli kept a look out for any danger, such as walkers as she followed behind Daryl. Soon it was getting night and they were several miles out from camp, deep in the Georgia woods.
"We won't make It back before night fall, ain't no since in tryin to find our way In the dark, we'll came here fa the night." Daryl said.
Halri agreed, walking in the woods at night was a bad idea and a great way to get lost. She gathered fire wood as Daryl got the fire started.
The temperature was dropping and She wasn't papared for night weather only being in the shorts and tank top Amy had let her borrow. She shivered slightly as she set next to Daryl in front of the fire.
"Dumb bitch should of givin ya warmer clothes" Daryl refered to Amy when he noticed Harli shivering.
"Not her fault, she didn't know I was going to be spending the night know the woods." The 25 year old defended the young blonde.
"Yar gonna catch a cold" Daryl said annoyed with the situation. "Ain't no time fa a cold with the world bein shit"
Harli knew he was right, with the lack of medical care, medicine, and doctors a cold could be deadly. But there wasn't anything she could do about it. So she pulled her knees up to her chest, wrapped her arms around her legs and tired to think warm thoughts.
Daryl watched her and fought against himself with what to do. Finally he grabbed her and pulled her to him. He leaned back against a tree and pulled her between his legs, her body turned slightly into his chest as he wraped his arms around her, in attempt to keel her warm.
Harli was shocked by this. But didn't object. He was warm, even in the cold night air, his skin was hot. His hands were ruff against her. Callused from hard hands on work. She felt him put his chin on the top of her head, resting there. She felt her face heat up from their position. She closed her eyes and decided to just enjoy the moment. Soon she fell asleep, in the hunters arms.
