Sophia got in to a fight with her mom and took off into the woods .As we thought but there were no tracks. We all looked for days but we couldn't find her. Carl was so worried and so was carol she lost her once and wasn't gonna loss her again. I had been a week Daryl coming back half dead saying he saw Merle. Alex took off into the woods to see if she could find any tracks but all she found were Daryl's. He must have been seeing things.

That night rick was on watch when Alex jumped down the tree. "everything okay?" rick asked noticing her sniffling and was worried. She nodded and walked towards the woods. "hey i cant risk you going out there." rick said as she grabbed her wrist.

" I'm gonna find Sophia." was all she said then broke from his grasp and took off in to the woods.

Rick was out of breath and running towards Daryl's camp. When he got there he tapped on the tent. "Daryl...Daryl you awake?" Daryl stepped out of the tent.

"What do ya want i was finally gettin some sleep." he groaned. "

Its Alex...she"

"She what! what happened to her" Daryl was both worried and angry.

"She went out to look for Sophia." With that Daryl grabbed his crossbow and headed to the area of woods were she had left. Sure he could track her.

Sure I was looking for Sophia I heard she meant a lot to Carl so I wanted to find her but I also wanted to get away. I have been having nightmares where I watch everyone I love ricks group , Dani, Merle everyone getting torn away from me. So, when ever I was upset Merle would let me walk threw the woods. God did I miss him. I heard he was being an asshole and got him self chained to the roof of a building and left there and I still worry about him even thought I know he is okay. I mean its Merle He was born to survive this kinda world and so was I.

I was in my mom and dads tent worrying about Alex because dad came into the tent thinking i was asleep to tell mom that Alex has taken off into the woods. so i lied there waiting for her to get back to the camp. I know she is strong but i just cant help but worry about her I mean I think I might love her. I will talk to Dani in the morning even though it's almost dawn and everyone will be up soon asking where she is.

I was walking running threw the wood looking for her "sunshine!" "Alex! Where are you." damn it why the hell did she come out here. Look. I thought to my self I bent down and found her boot track. I started to follow them till I found her on a huge rock curled up. "Hey Alex" "sunshine you 'right?"

I was interrupted by someone I shot up and had my gun pointed but i put it down when I realized it was uncle Daryl. "sunshine you 'right." I looked down not wanting my weakness to show. God what would Merle say. I didn't raise no pussy now suck it up buttercup.

" Would disappoint Merle" was all I could get out before I broke down. Darly came over and hugged me

"shhh Sunshine. Shhh. He would be proud that you have been so strong an that you beat the piss outa Shane." I laughed. Daryl was rocking me slowly I hadn't realized how tried I was until i started to fall asleep in Daryl's arms.

We sat there for about 20 minuets before i realized she had fallen asleep. Poor thing probably hasn't gotten any sleep with Watching over Dani and her nightmares. I knew she had them because the last few days I have taken watch at night and hear her in her sleep Repeat Merle's name and everyone else's. I also know that she likes Carl because I heard her mumble I love you Carl in her sleep. Plus I can see it in the way she looks at him. I guess since Merle isn't here I'm gonna have to me her dad when it comes to the dating shit because I can also tell that he likes her as well. I see the same sparkle in his eyes when they look at each other. I picked her up bridal style and carried her bow over my shoulder along with a picture of Merle and her both glaring at each other.

I entered camp it was about 6 in the morning and everyone one was up. Alex was still asleep in my arms. The first ones to run up to me was Carl and Dani. "Is she okay?" Carl asked I nodded. Dani gave me a worried look but i nodded and gave her a slight smile. Next carol came up

" Did you find my baby girl?"

"no sorry " I then realized Alex must have told rick that she was gonna go out and look for Sophia.

"whats that?" Rick and Dani asked. They were referring to the photo in her hands.

"That's a picture her and my brother." Dani went to grab it but Alex snapped awake and grabbed her wrist.

I woke up to someone grabbing my photo I snapped a wake and grabbed what ever was touching me. I let go when I realized it was Dani. "Sorry thought you were a walker." Daryl laughed. "what" I said

" I find it funny that after you fell asleep i accidentally hit your head off a few trees but didn't wake up i think you just thought some one was gonna take that picture." I looked down at the photo.

"Can we see it?" asked Dani I nodded my head and lifted the photo of Merle and I. It was a picture of us glaring at each other. In the photo i had just gotten done wiping icing off my face and i punched Merle in the stomach and we were ready to go at it. And if you thought we got along all the time your wrong.

" Why are you to glaring at each other?" Carl asked.

"Well you see it was my birthday and Merle shoved a cupcake in my face I wiped all the icing off and punched him in the stomach and by then we were gonna kill each other is Mr. Dixon wouldn't have come in."

"Mr. Dixon?" Dani asked.

" My dad and his name was Nathan." Daryl said

"oh" was all I said and looked back down at the photo and smiled. Then there where gun shots and Daryl dropped me and my head it a rock. Everything went black.

My brother did come back. I though while she was showing everyone the photo.

They all ran to the shots except for Dani and Alex. Dani was trying to wake Alex up but she was out cold and her head was bleeding. Dani tried to carry her but was to weak so sat with her till someone came back
