The next day:

Lizzie knew something was wrong the group was looking at her like she was going to explode or something; she sighed and continued reading her book. Daryl had gone hunting and Carl was still sleeping she had no one to hang out with. She heard someone cough and looked up to see who was there; to her surprise it was Glenn she had a younger vibe towards the younger man. "What's up china-man "She said jokingly for some strange reason the whole group was nervous 'huh I wonder why...'

Glenn sat down beside Lizzie he wanted to be the one to tell Lizzie about Merle didn't know why he just wanted to " hey Lizzie before we got here we had a camp it was just outside of Atlanta and we would go in there and get supplies and other stuff well one run Shane made me take a group and Merle volunteered to go well to put it nicely he was high as a kite and started shootin' and fighting T-dog and Rick handcuffed him to a pipe then T chained the door shut and we left him…we went back the next day and he done cut his hand off and we tried to track him I swear we did but we couldn't find him and I wanna let you know that I'm sorry for leavening him "

Glenn sat there waiting for the angry dismissal the never want to talk to you again because you left my brother in law in a walker infested city, but there was none " It's okay little buddy Merle was high and you did what you had to do, hell he's probably out on the bayou with the Cajuns huntin' them gators and shackin' up at the house with the huntin' dogs liven the redneck dream , that's where I want me and this here group ta go it's pretty safe enough and me, Daryl and Merle maybe could hunt and stuff for the other and we ain't gotta worry bout no walkers the place is in the middle of the swamp and all then if they do we jus' hope on in the boats and wait them out ." She said with a dreamy look on her face

Rick was watching their conversation just in case Lizzie had the infamous Dixon temper and blew a fuse ,he knew she was from New Orleans and it did seem like a good idea she knew that her house would be safe and she was right they could just hop in the boats and wait it out in the swamps and there would be three hunters if Merle forgave them ,which according to Lizzie he was different when he wasn't high. He hoped Lizzie would let them come to Louisiana with her and Daryl because he knew the redneck and his family would want to go back to their home. " Lizzie may I talk to ya bout somethin?" He asked nervously.

Lizzie looked up from where she was sitting " Sure thing sheriff " She was apprehensive about what he was going to talk about she got up and walked a little ways from the main camp." What can I do fer ya Rick? "

Rick took a big breath and began " Well Lizzie um I couldn't but over hear you and Glenn talking about ya home in New Orleans is it as really as safe as ya say because I don't think we should go to Fort Benning, It might be overran by walkers I just don't know what to" He broke off and sighed this role as leader was getting to him , but he wouldn't give the reigns of leadership back to Shane something seemed off about his once best friend . If anybody it would be Daryl he's always been there for the group and even when Rick left his brother behind he stood behind him.

Lizzie looked at Rick and looked at the rag tag group and sighed she just couldn't leave them ,they have kids for goodness sake and Lori was pregnant, " Yes Rick the farm in Louisiana is pretty safe and like I told Glenn if a herd does happen to come by daddy's got a pretty decent sized huntin cabin we could hold up in for a few days we ain't even gotta use the cars jus' hop on in the boats and head up there and like I told ya before daddy was paranoid and stocked at least a couple of cellars and that's ain't coutin' what me an Daryl can hunt . Momma saved all my baby clothes so ya got some for the child when she comes and what we can savage along the way." She finished

Rick was floored maybe this was the miracle that he's been hoping and praying for. " Thank you a lot Lizzie I…I can't even describe the relief that I fell , thank you I'll tell the group at dinner thank Lizzie! "

Later that evening:

Everybody was sitting around the little fire making ideal chit chat when Rick cleared his throat. " Everybody I want to tell everyone that Lizzie and Daryl have opened their home for us in New Orleans and that's where I want us to go but if you have, any objections voice them now. It's really safe and Lizzie said her dad has tons of supplies and not counting what she and Daryl could hunt and the house itself is isolated then we can just hop in boats and go to her daddy's hunting cabin ."

Daryl grumbled a little bit at jerked his arm away from his wife when she pinched him for it and narrowed her eyes, he just kissed her nose and watched an an argument broke out between Rick and Shane why couldn't the ass hole just leave it be, he caught the end of the argument

"You know what Shane ever since you slept with MY wife I haven't trusted a word you said so if you don't like where we are going then just leave! " Rick stated calmly but Daryl could tell he was losing his cool and fast.

"Fine then Rick if you want to trust the wife of an inbred redneck then go right ahead and put your san and wife in danger " He didn't get to say anything else due to the fact that Lizzie had Daryl's crossbow and Draco ready to take a bite outta him.

"Go on Shane call my husband an inbred one more time and I'll pull the trigger go on say it" …

AN: I'm still alive haha I just had a bad case of writers block and scholl has been stressing sooo sort guys! ( I don't own The Walking Dead I just own Lizzie :D )
