A knock came from my bedroom door. I groaned and tried to fall back to sleep. The door opened and Scotte came in evilly. I jumped up with a squeal when I was met with freezing cold water.
"Wacky wacky sis. You have to go on patrol" my brother said snickering at my shivering body. I was beyond pissed. I snarled at him then went to tackle him to the ground. "Your dead meat Scotte" I yelled. He quickly dodged to the side then bolted out the door.
I crashed onto the floor then bolted after him. "Get back here" I growled. Scotte laughed and quickly ran out side. I ran after him then stopped when I couldn't find him anywhere. A zipper sound came from my right. I looked over just in time to see my brother zip up the tents door. That's when I noticed that my Wolf pendant was gone as well. My eyes widened then turned in the nastiest glare I could muster.
"Oh big brother's going to die" I growled out. I zipped toward the tent and just as I was going to grab the zipper the tent flap flew open. I yelped in surprise and crashed into a crossbow. I yelped again when said crossbow landed on my head. I sat up on my hands and knees and started to rub my head grumbling about stupid brothers.
I looked to the side and saw my Wolf pendant and put it on. I sat on my butt and watched as my brother bolted back inside the house laughing at my misfortune. I shook my head in annoyance then looked to my left and froze. Right there was the same dude from yesterday. He was staring at me with amusement. He must have been cleaning his arrows when he stopped and saw our little play fight. I laughed nervously then bolted out of the tent. I ran all the way to Maggie who was talking to Patricia. I tripped and fell flat on my face earning giggles from the to girls and a couple of chuckles from both deputies.
I flipped them both off growling and stood up. "You really need to learn how to walk straight" Maggie said shaking her head with a smile.
"I made you laugh though. That has to count for something" I replied shrugging.
"It wont do you any good if there's walkers"
"Bullshit. I'll just burn the suckers and have me a walker barbeque" I said. A patch of grass then went on fire beside me. I glanced over at it and swore. I started to hit it with my shoe which only made it worse. I was then drenched in freezing cold water again. "Some one does that to me again and I'll have their ass" I grumbled irritated. I looked over at the convict who dosed me with water and saw none other then my brother Scotte. I sighed then started to do a little scouting.
"Hey sis where you going" Scotte asked. "Scouting" was his reply. Scotte shrugged then decided to prank the only sister we had by scaring her with a clown he found in the attic. I walked around the woods for while to see if I could unleash my anger on a walker or maybe a tree. It seemed like a good idea until noticed I forgot me twin blades and silenced pistol at the house.
"I am such an idiot. Here I am out in the woods with no weapons and no clue how to fully use my power over fire. Fantastic. Just peachy" I growled kicking what I thought was stump. Only said stump growled back. My eyes widened way past their limit when I finally noticed I walked into a horde of walkers.
"oh shit fuck" I whispered eyes still wide. All the walkers got up and bolted toward their new meal…me. I yelped and ran the opposite direction. Leading them away from Hershel's house and the rest of the survivors. "come on, come on, come on!" I yelled trying to make a small flame. The walkers were gaining on me and there is no way in hell am I going to make a fire and watch them at the same time. I ran for what seemed like hours but was only minuets. "THIS IS BULLSHIT!" I screamed angrily as I kept running. I looked ahead and saw a little girl walk out from hiding behind a tree. My eyes widened in fear. Fuck no. I was not going to let those bastards kill a child. No way in HELL! I skidded to stop shielding the girl with my body. I held the girl close to my back as the walkers were only inches away. I closed my eyes waiting to be torn apart. Nothing happened. Burnt flesh hit my sense of smell and I opened my eyes. My eyes widened in shock and surprise. Right there in front of us was a whole shit load of what appeared to be fire covered wolves.
"Holy shit" I whispered in shock. My sweater sleeve was tugged and I looked down to see the little girls questioning gaze. "How did you do that Dante" the little girl asked. "I honestly don't know kid" I replied looking back up as the last few walkers were killed by the fire wolves. Once all the walkers were dead one of the wolves came up to me and stared into my silver colored eyes. We stared for a minute until it finally rubbed against my leg. I cautiously reached my hand out and started to pet the wolf. I swore I was going to get a burned but no pain came. I smiled lightly and pet the creature with more confidence. "Thank you" I said.
Some how or some way the wolf understood me and nodded its head as if to say your welcome. The wolves stood by the child and I until we were at the edge of Hershel's land. The wolves suddenly got sucked into my wolf pendant and disappeared. The little girl and I walked back to the house slowly, hand in hand.
"So you know my name, what's yours" I asked the little girl. The little girl gave me a look mixed with confusion and sadness. I noticed the look and smiled lightly. "I'm sorry sweet heart but I lost the memory of my past and don't remember a thing. I don't even remember how, but I'm sure I might get a flashback if you told me what your name was. You see my past is slowly but surely coming back piece by piece" I told her gently. She nodded smiling in understanding. "My name is Sophia" Sophia replied. "Sophia! Oh my baby girl Sophia!" her who I presume is her mother called. "Mommy!" Sophia yelled running to her mother. They hugged each other close smiling and crying with joy.
(Flash Back No one's P.O.V)
Dante was working on her truck when two kids were on each side of her. Dante smiled and looked between the two of them. "Sophia. Carl. What are the two of you up to now?" the 26 year old asked as the two of them giggled mischievously.
Both kids dragged her away from her truck, all three laughing. "We asked if Daryl could take a brake from skinning his squirrels and come play in the lake with us" Carl explained. "But he said he wouldn't come if you weren't going. Our moms said we needed an adult with us or we couldn't go." Sophia added. "And since Daryl said he wouldn't go with out you" Carl told Dante excitedly. "We came and got you" the both of them finished. Dante laughed defeated. "ok I'll go with you. Oh and do you two want to tackle Daryl into the lake with me? Because Mrs. Dixon needs revenge on her husband" Dante told the two kids. Both of them nodded excitedly and fallowed her down a path she made with Daryl.
When they reached the end of the path Daryl was standing there enjoying the breeze. He was right on the edge of the dock. The three of them took off their clothes, their bathing suits under the garments just waiting to be wet with water. Daryl being to busy to be in hunter mode to notice the three trouble makers was tackled into the water letting out a surprised yelp. All four of them surfaced, three out of four laughing while the other one just plain pissed off. "oh the three of you think that's funny huh. Well here comes the great white shark" Daryl said letting out a smirk before diving under the nice clean cool water. All three of them let out a squeal as they swam away from the supposed great white.
Daryl's brother ,Merle, who finished off with the squirrels laughed as he came to wash off the animal blood. Dante barely missed Daryl's hand before going under water her self and quickly swam toward Sophia who was successfully hiding behind a boulder. Dante stopped Sophia from Squealing thinking that Dante was Daryl. Dante put a finger to her lips then went under water and swam toward the caught Carl, who repeatedly kept splashing Daryl in the face with the lake water. Dante came up behind Daryl unnoticed and splashed him from behind. Said man yelped at the unsuspecting splash and whipped around to go after the culprit. Five splashes were heard and the couple turned to see Andrea, Amy, Eliza, Louis, and Merle pop up from under the water. While Daryl was distracted Dante kissed him passionately then disappeared under water, leaving the younger Dixon dumbfounded. Merle laughed at his brother then splashed him, bringing the Dixon out of astonishment. Daryl growled then took off after Dante. "Come here darlin. That aint no way to treat a man" Daryl joked as he caught the girl by her waist. Dante squealed in surprise, laughing the whole time.
"Hey you two not in front of the kids" Andrea said splashing the two Dixons. Dante laughed then unexpectedly took off after Amy who yelped and took off in the opposite direction. "Amy its your turn to be it" Dante said tagging her best friend. Amy pouted then went after her sister laughing. A pair of arms wrapped around Dante from behind. "You think we could have a kid?" Daryl asked.
"no way in hell"
"ditto"
The couple continued to watch as the others kept playing tag in the water smiling as the kids hadn't had this much fun since this whole shit started.
(Flash Back end)
I shook my head as I came back to the real world. I then jumped into a tree and got lost in my mind not noticing the pair of eyes watching me.I went over the things I found out. I was supposedly married to Daryl and was close to the two kids Carl and Sophia. Apparently I didn't have my control over fire back then but some how I do now. That doesn't make any since. Why would I have this power now and not back then. Why did I leave the group of survivors here. I then remembered everybody's names. All of them came at me one at a time.
Dale, the old man who always stood watch and kept the camp safe. He lost his wife in the beginning of the out brake. Sees Andrea, Amy, and I as daughters.
Shane, the one I never trusted ever since I ran into the camp in the beginning. Saying he "lost" Otis when they went out scouting in the woods for Sophia.
Andrea, older sister Amy and me. Cant shoot a gun very well but is learning from Rick and Shane. Almost lost her sister to a walker.
Amy, younger sister of Andrea. Was saved from a walker by…by… by me. That's right, I'm the one who saved her from that walker. But at what cost?
Rick, the man Glenn saved and also the one who left Daryl's brother Merle behind. Another person who sees me as a daughter and treats me as family, just like the rest of the group.
Daryl, my supposedly husband for three years. The one who saved me countless of times and saved by me only two or three.
Glenn, my best friend since freshman year of high school. The two friends who could never be separated by family or people. Not even our boyfriends/girlfriends could separate us.
T-dog, the man who had all the candy and soda for the kids and me.
Lori, my second mother/sister. The one who always could cheer me up when I was down and could tell when it was my time or when it was relationship problems.
Carl, the kid I always saw as a little brother and my right hand man when it came to sugar needs.
Carol, my first mother. The one that took me in after my own parents died to this crazy infection.
Sophia, the little rascal I was most closer to. My little sister and reading buddy.
I remembered all of them. But why was I separated from the group and why the hell can I control fire? I sighed and looked over at the Dixon tent. I smiled and jumped down from my tree then walked over to the tent, putting a finger to my lips. With a smile I quietly unzipped the entrance and walked into the tent. I zipped the flap shut silently and walked over to Daryl who must have fell a sleep while I was gone. I slipped onto the cot with him and lied down snuggling into my husband. I still have two questions to be answered but I'll wait until it's time. Daryl unconsciously put an arm around me and sighed in content. I smiled lightly and fell a sleep glad to finally know a lot more of my past even though I have two questions left but for now I'll relax and figure the rest out tomorrow morning. With that last thought I was out like a light, not noticing the orange glow from my right hand, where the phoenix mark was glowing softly.
