Chapter Two.

I do not own the Walking Dead.

I was sharpening my knife as I sat beside my uncle Daryl, he was skinning some squirrel's as we listened to my dads snores, he snorted making me smirk looking up at my uncle.

" You know, I always wanted a pet. Never imagined it would be a pig. " I said, earning a small tiny smile from him.

That's my uncle, he rarely did smile, well if you know him well enough, you can see in his eyes he's smiling. Uncle Daryl is like that, a bit closed off. That was all to blame on their father, Grandpa Dixon, dad had told me stories about him when he was drunk, 'bout how he beat on him and uncle Daryl when they were growing up, that's why my dad worked his hardest to stay away from me when he was drinking, didn't want anything to happen. Of course even when he was drunk nothing ever did, despite what other people said, my pops was a good father, a great one.

He and uncle Daryl taught me how to hunt, track and use a crossbow. They'd given me lots of presents over the years, things to help me survive, I had a compass around my neck, I had a large hunting knife on my belt, my own crossbow, sure it was small then my uncle's but, it did the trick. The hunting came in handy these days. Usually it's me and my uncle who go hunting, for the camp. Dad does sometimes but mostly he does the skinning and gutting when we get back. Everybody at camp doesn't seem to like my dad and uncle, they tolerate my uncle more than my dad, I couldn't really blame them because I mean, he was Merle Dixon, toughest son of a bitch you'd ever know. He could be a prick and if he saw a pretty lady, he always had to comment.

I put my now sharpened knife back on my bent and stood up, raising my arm's above my head and bending back a little until my back popped, then I sighed and looked around the camp.

Everything was quiet and relaxed, but mostly because my dad was still asleep, I looked over to see Sophia and Carl playing in the dirt and when Sophia spotted me she waved me over, I hesitated but earning a nod from my uncle, I walked over sitting beside them giving them each a smile.
