Two days after Andrea shot Daryl, we were all sitting around the lightly lit fire having breakfast. Me and Daryl sat together eating are eggs and talking about the woods. I was just about to say something to him but Glenn stood up.

"Um guys.." Glenn began. "So...Barns full of walkers." Everyone stopped eating and stared at him. Their eyes full of shocked and scared emotions. Did he just say the barn has walkers in it? Why would Hershel have walkers in there, in first place!? Shane and Rick looked at each other and everyone started to go to the barn.

We got to the Barn and Shane looked into the it. The moans were soft. Then Shane backed up and started to speak. "You can not tell me your alright about this?" "No I'm not," Rick stated. "But we're guests here. this isn't are island." I nodded my head at Shane before he growled and turned back to Rick. "For God-these are our lifes, man"

"Lower your voices!" Glenn warned Shane. Then Andrea hopped in, "We can't just sweep this under the rug". Shane started to paste back and forth. "We either go in there and make things right or we just gotta go. Now we've been talking about Fort Benning" I looked at them, "We can't go!" Everyone looked at me now. "Why. Coraline why, huh?" Shane growled but before I said anything, Carol stepped in. " Because my daughter still out there..."

We all watch as Shane and Daryl went at it over Rick's shoulder. T-Dog and I grabbed onto Daryl, pulling him back as Andrea,Glenn and Lori grabbed Shane. We let go and heared Shane yell at Lori. He was pissed. Then Dale stepped in. "Hershel see's those things in there as people- sick people. His wife. H-His step son." We stared at Dale, eyes widen. Rick tilted his head,"You knew?" Dale nodded."Yesterday,I talked to Hershel." Shane pointed at at him yelling."And you waited the night!" "I thought we could survive one more night...we did." Everyone started to yell but then the walkers started to try to break out. Daryl pushed me behind him as everyone except Shane And Rick backed up.

Daryl went to the horse barn and started to a saddle for a horse. I fallowed him in and hid in a stall. Before I could come out of hiding and say something, I heard a weak voice start up. "You can't." Daryl looked at Carol and growled weakly. "I'm fine.." he started to look at the horses as she continued, " Hershel said you need to heal." "Ya...I don't care..." She started to sound tearful, "Well I do...and what about Coraline? She cares alot about you...What do you think she's gonna say or do when she finds out you left?" Daryl stopped and sighed. "Rick's going out later to follow the trail." Daryl shook his head then snorted at her, "Ya...I ain't sittin around doin nothin." I stepped out with tearful eyes hiding under my hood. "No...you gonna go out and get yourself killed!" Carol covered her mouth as Daryl stared at me. I frowned slaming the stall closed then walked away from them. I Heared Daryl throw something to the ground as I started to run off to the duck pond.

I sat at the end of dock watching my reflection in the water. 'I just snapped at Daryl...' I smacked my forehead letting out a sigh. 'He's gonna hate me now for spying...lovely...' I heard the dock creek from behind me. I grabbed my revolver and turned pointed it at Daryl. "Woah..easy Tiger" He chuckled abit before I lower my gun. I Sighed again and looked back at the water. "Looked I'm sorry I was about to leave.." Daryl said sitting down. "You? Daryl Dixon. Is Sorry?" I said being as sarcastic as I could. Daryl glanced at me and faked laughed. I smiled at him and looked into his eyes. That moment, when are eyes ment, it felt like the world was normal again. No Walkers. No Farm. No Shane. Just us. We would be hanging out by the trian tracks or relaxing under the old oak tree like the good old days. I came back to my senses as I felt his lips press against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck kissing him back. Daryl placed his hands my sides moving me closer. I wanted to say like that but sadly, we pulled away from each other, breathing heavy. "C-C'mon. We gotta g-get back." Daryl said resting his forehead on mine. I blushed softly before pecking his lips once more before getting up. I started walking back to camp but then I felt his arm wrap around my shoulders. We walked like this all the way back to camp. "Oh shit! I need to be watching the barn." I smacked my forehead for the second time today. I grabbed my machete and placed it into its holder. "Um. I'll see you later, Daryl. Bye!" I yelled softly, running to the barn as Daryl began to walk back to the house.

I smiled about the kiss as I took watch at the barn. Was it an apology kiss? Did it mean something or nothing at all? My smile faded as I saw Rick leading Walkers and Shane Came running over. They yelled as they got closer to barn. Shane started yelling louder."Their the things that killed Amy! they killed Otis!" "Shane! Stop it!" I yelled making Shane turn to me. He smirked pulling out his gun. "Hey Hershel, man, let me ask ya something...Can a living breathing person walk away from this?" BANG BANG BANG. "Stop!" Rick yelled. I jumped and stared at Shane as he continued. "3 rounds to the chest. Someone who is alive, can they take that!? Why is it still coming!" BANG BANG. "Thats it's heart! it's lung! Why is it still coming!" BANG BANG BANG. Rick yelled again. Shane walked up to the walker and shot it in the head. Hershel fell to his knees...I knew this wasn't going to end well.

"Enough risking are lives for a little girl who is gone!" Carol gasped as Shane continued, "Enough living by a barn full of things trying to kill us! Rick it ain't like it was before." Shane stared at Rick. I growled grabbing my revolver and shooting between Shane's feet. He turned again and walked over to me. "Shane...Enough..." I growled as everyone stared in shock. He grabbed me by my jacket and shoved me to Daryl. Daryl dropped his gun and caught me before I hit the ground. "Keep your bitch in line, Daryl..." He said smirking. "As I was saying, you all wanna survive. You all to have to fight for it! I'm talking about fight, Right here right now!" Shane started to break open the barn as everyone yelled. Rick tried to stop him but it was too late. Shane moved back and pulled his gun out.

Daryl told me to stay back as he got infront of me. Everthing happened to fast. T-Dog, Andrea, Glenn and Daryl shot along side Shane at the Walkers. I crawled back abit move as they finished. Daryl looked at me with "I'm sorry" written all over his face. I stood up with his help and looked at the dead walkers. It looks like a massacre. The barn doors started to moved and a small walker appeard. Everyone was starting to see who it was. I began to break as I heard the name from behind me. "...Sophia..." Carol started to run over to the walker But I grabbed her before she could reach it. Carol pulled me close crying the name 'Sophia' into my shoulder. I held her close as Rick walked up to the walker and pointed the gun at its head and shot. BANG.

"C-Carol, Come on. I'll take you to the RV." I said walking Carol. We walk through the field and into the RV. She sat down and looked out the window. I took her hand and held it in mine. "Carol. Honey?" I whispered softly. She didn't move. Didn't look at me. Just watched out the window with a zoned out look on her face. I leaned my head back with a sigh. We were both shaking. That massacre was bad but the thing that killed us the most was seeing Rick shooting Sophia. I heard the door open and I looked over to see Daryl sitting on the counter. We all sat in silence for a good 40 minutes till Lori walked through the door. "We're ready."

I got up and looked at Carol, "C'mon Carol, its time t-" "That isn't my little girl, Coraline...Sophia died along time ago." Carol said coldly cutting me off. I looked at Lori then Daryl before fallowing Lori out. I felt bad for Carol, I mean her child is dead. I thought we would of find her somewhere safe and sound. And Daryl risked his life for finding the first hard evidence. 'Maybe Shane was right.' I thought walking behind Lori to the graves. I looked to see the saddness on everyones faces. It was hard to see everyone like this. I stood by Rick and Daryl as we praied. My vision started to blur as the prayers continued. I started to wipe my eyes dry with my sleeve. Rick looked down at me and held out his hand for mine. Without thinking, I took Rick's hand then took Daryl's hand in my other. Their hands was what I needed to feel safe again. Rick was like the father I never had. I guess we connected back in Atlantis when Glenn brought him to camp and Lori introduced me to him as Carl's Babysitter.

After the the little 'Ceremony', I walked off to clear my head. As I was walking I heard something behind me. 'God please be a walker or Daryl..' I thought pulling out my machete and spun around to meet eyes with Shane. "Now that's not anyway to say thank you" Shane said moving my Machete from his chest. I was getting alittle to mad at this point, "Thank you?! For what! For getting us kicked off the farm! F-For massacring Harshel's family in front of him?! For scaring everyone!? No Shane, its not a 'Thank you' your getting out of me. Its a Fuck yo-" Before I finished I was up against a tree with Shane's arm acrossed my throat, choking me a bit. He made me drop my Machete as he started to speak, "Now I did it to keep you, Lori and Carl safe. But I see ya don't appreciate that. Oh well Coraline, guess you have the hick to keep you safe now." He moved in a bit to see the horror in my eyes. inches way, I could feel his his warm breath on my face. I had to acted fast, Yell and Daryl will find me. I started to scream but Shane moved his arm closer forcing me to stop. I put my hands on his arm then dug my nails into it. He yelled pulling his arm away then back handing me. I hit the ground hard, landing on my hands and knees. "No good stupid bitch." Shane barked kicking my ribs, making me fall to my left side as he walked off. After a few minutes, I sat up holding my ribs praying nothing was broken. I finally got up grabbing my machete and slowly walked back to mine and Daryl's tent.
