***Daryl's POV***
Riding with someone was very different. Having Eva with me was different. I knew we needed to talk about what had happened the last time I had saw her. But hell I was never good at talking. I didn't even know what I wanted from her. I knew I didn't want her with no one else. But could I be her what? Boyfriend? Shit I was never good with women only time I ever came in contact with them was when I needed to. I was usually drunk and uncaring about how I treated them. Would normally use them then leave them. I didn't know jack shit about being a boyfriend.
My thoughts were interrupted when we came to a blocking of cars. I was able to maneuver the bike through it and find a clean way till I noticed the RV had stopped I turned back about and told the old man to follow me. I was so focused on making through that I didn't hear the pop that Eva did because she tapped me on my stomach. I turned and saw the RV smoking. I parked the bike and felt Eva get off. As I turned I saw her already walking over to no doubt ask if she could do anything to help. I followed after I saw Rick walk up.
"I said it didn't I say it? A thousand time dead in the water." Dale said looking at the smoking RV.
"Problem Dale?" Shane said. What a dumb ass I thought it was obvious that the RV wasn't gonna run.
"Just a small matter of being stuck in the middle of no where with no hope of..." Dale trailed off as I started looking though the back of a car. I had seen something I thought Eva might like. It had been a pink bag only when I pulled it out I realized it was meant for a little girl not her so I quickly dropped it.
"Ok that was dumb." He said after a short min.
"Cant find a radiator hose here." Shane said.
"There's a whole bunch of stuff we can find." I said as I dug some more stuff from the car.
"Syphon some fuel from these cars for a start." T-Dog said.
"Maybe some water?" Carol put in while holding her little girl Sophia.
"Its like were grave robbers" I heard Eva say. When I looked up I saw her looking down at the ground with her brows drawn. Her friend Michael stepped forward and got in her face a little. He whispered something no one else could hear but I could sense she was pretty close to me.
"What happened thought you weren't the same girl anymore huh?" He said in a almost mocking way. I saw her face flash red and hurt rise in her eyes. I stepped forward and grabbed the back of his shirt.
"Why don't you go make you self useful and leave her alone." I Said quietly but deadly in his ear. I heard him swallow and saw him nod. Shane stepped up then and looked at me.
"Come on no need for that lets look around." He said not turning around till I let the little pussy go.
Michael walked away his face red giving me a dirty look. I turned to Eva and saw her looking at me with gratitude in her eyes.
"Thank you" She whispered.
"Come on why don't you go watch over the kids with Lori and Carol?" I suggested she nodded and gave me a small smile I walked away over to Lori.
After about 5 mins I looked over at her and saw that she had gotten her crossbow from the bike. She wasn't digging through the cars like everyone else. But I saw her talking happily to Sophia. The little girl just smiled at her and laughed when Eva made a joke. When Carol heard her laugh I saw her pop her head up from a car she was looking through and smiled at the sight of her little girl happy. I even cracked a half smile damn girl could get anyone to be happy. I shook my head as I opened one of the suitcases in the car I was looking in. As I opened it I realized it was a girls. There was pink and other bright color shit everywhere. I was just starting to close it when something caught my eye I reached into the mesh pocket and pulled out a pink hunting knife. I was long and pretty sharp for having been a girls and being a ridiculous color. I knew Eva didn't have a knife and she could really use one so I grabbed it and put it in my back pocket. I was pretty positive shed like it, hell shed love it because it was pink alone.
***Eva's POV***
I didn't look through the cars like everyone else, I was happy just keeping an eye on the kids, they were always in my sight per Lori and Carols request. It made me happy knowing that they trusted me enough. I looked over at Daryl in time to see him put something pink in his back pocket. I was so busy on wondering what it could have been I didn't notice Rick running up to us until he grabbed me and pulled me under the car with him.
"What's going on?" I whispered frantically at him.
"Walkers a whole heard of them." He said back just as quietly.
I heard them then. The moans and shuffling of feet. They hadn't walked past our hiding spot yet but I could smell them the sent of rotting flesh was horrible. I lifted my head and saw Carol and Lori under another car. Lori had her hands over Carols mouth. Both were watching the children. Who were a few cars away from Rick and I. I turned my head to look for Daryl and saw him looking at me from under a walker. He gave me a slight nod which I returned.
The walkers came to the sides of our car then and I could feel the panic rise up the my chest again. It was the same feeling I had had the last night at the quarry. I quickly looked up at Daryl and he was looking at me still I kept eye contact with him through the whole time the heard was walking around us. Looking at him helped ease the panic. When the sides were clear. I looked over at Rick and he gave me a slight smile and sighed as he looked up at Lori. I smiled as I looked over at Daryl and saw him give me a small half smile as he pushed the walker off him. I was getting ready to get out when I heard Sophia give a small scream I looked over and saw two walkers trying to get at her. She managed to get out of the other end of the car and run into the woods. I grabbed my crossbow and crawled out after Rick and together me and him ran in the woods after Sophia and the walkers. I had been able to take down one. Rick led the other one away after hiding me and Sophia he told me to go back to camp with her while he led the other one off. After he left and was gone for a about a min or so Sophia and I walker out and started walking back toward the highway. I smelled it before I heard it. The walker came out from behind he tree and Sophia screamed and grabbed her and pushed her behind me as the walker reached for me I was able to take it down only to have 2 more take its place. I didn't have a knife and a gun would cause to much noise so I grabbed Sophia's hand and started running with her away from the walkers and unfortunately away from the high way.
