A/N: The series is going to be slightly different now that Val is in the picture. Don't worry i won't mess with the story line lol

Chapter ten: 18 Miles Out: Anemone

The last few days were so stressful. Rick and Shane were disagreeing with each other from left and right. Maggie was worried about Beth because she's acting depressed when she recovered from her comma. And Lori was steering clear from captain asshole. I was soaking in the emotions like a sponge. Leo always said I was an empath, whatever that means.

I was overwhelmed, I felt sad, depressed, worried, pissed and felt like eating a pickle. Okay maybe that last one wasn't an emotion, but I still want to eat one. Ugh! Why do I get stuck here, if I wasn't then I can eat whatever I want.

"Val!" Lori called. "You want lunch? We got it ready."

I was in a tree trying to get some alone time.

"Not right now I'm thinking." I admitted.

Lori smiles. "Okay. Come inside when you get done, it's like ninety degrees outside." she goes back inside.

Lori has been acting like an older sister to me lately. It's kind of weird actually. I thought she was on drugs at first...but then again somebody could be slipping something in her food to keep her here when Rick was gone. So I don't know but it's an idea I guess.

I sighed. I didn't get much sleep for the last five days; I was too alert because of Shane. I saw what he did at the barn. It was insane, yes on TV it looked crazy but it was more chaotic in real life. So I've been sleeping in a tree incase Shane decide to slit my throat while I was asleep. So I wouldn't blab about what he did to Otis.

I jumped off the thick branch I was sitting on and landed with a thump. I walked over to the house and came inside catching the end of a conversation.

"Tell him to pull it together." Lori says, eating a slice of cucumber. "Don't say man up." she smiles.

"What I'd miss?" I smiled.

"Just guy trouble." Lori informed.

I ate a cucumber, "Ah, is Glenn giving you B.S about something." I assumed, taking a sip of tea.

"Sort of," Maggie muttered. She looks at the plate of food I guess was for Beth. "Well let me get this to Beth."

"You go on, I got it." Lori took the tray, leaving Maggie with me.

Again I was sitting on a tree, trying to focus on what I'm going to do.

Why was I here? There's got to be a reason. Was I supposed to save lives? If I was I defiantly sucked at it. I mean if I was suppose to protect Carl in the woods, stop Otis from going with Shane and save Sophia before she even turned then if I did that, then everything will change in the comic and the show. Carl would never have gotten shot then we would never meet Hershel then Otis wouldn't got ate, then we would never find Sophia in the barn.

Yup that would probably happen. But if we somehow meant to meet Hershel and his family, then would it happen differently.

My head began to hurt. Ugh! I was thinking stuff to hard.

"Hey smartass, what are you doing up there?" I heard someone say. I look down to see Daryl.

"Oh nothing, just enjoying the view." I commented.

"Looks like you're hating it." he smirked.

I poured. "What makes you think that?"

He snickers. "If you glare at that branch any harder it might burst into flames."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever you say, Darry-boy."

I noticed he was watching me very intensely.

I sighed not trying his stare any longer. "What do you want Daryl?"

"I was going to ask if you wanna go for a walk."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Are you on drugs?"

"What I can't ask you to take a walk with me?" he questions.

"Yes but you totally avoided my question through." I said, jumping off the branch I was sitting on.

He rolled his eyes. "To answer your question is no I'm not. But I wouldn't mind for a good cigarette."

"Yeah you and me both." I mumbled.

"Hmm?" he hummed.

I waved my hand in dismiss. "Oh nothing."

He smirks again. "You know Val, when you say that it's usually something you're trying to cover up with,"

I gasped acting to look hurt. "Daryl I am shocked. You honestly think I would keep stuffs from you?"

"Since you're asking... Yes." he answered.

"You're a wise man." I smirked.

"So what are we doing here?" I asked when we stopped by the pond.

Daryl then stops next to a purple flower.

"A flower? Really? You are not going to try the same thing on me like you did with Carol." I declared.

He just smiles. "No I'm not, trust me."

I narrow my eyes are him.

"It's an Anemone. One of my neighbor's mom use to grow these in her garden. She told me The Anemone is said to be derived from the young mortal, Adonis, who was famed for his beauty, and who was a reigning favorite of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. He was killed while hunting, and changed by Aphrodite into the Anemone. She also told me when if these randomly bloom it's a good sign of luck and protection of who lives on the land." he explained, plucking the flower off its stem and placing it on my ear. "It sort of reminded me of you."

I smiled. "What are you trying to say I'm some kind of protection? Good luck charm?"

"I'm saying since you randomly showed up we're found a place where we can actually live on."

I rolled my eyes. "I swear you're crazy."

"Call me whatever you want but I can tell you bring everybody to at least smile after this place went to shit."

I smiled. "Daryl since when did you become romantic?"

He shrugged. "Just giving you a flower and telling ya a story." then he walks off.

I stare after him until he was out of sight. I blushed, brushing my fingertips against the flower that was placed on my ear.

When I came inside I hear yelling and banging. I ran upstairs and went to Beth's room
Where I found Maggie and Lori pleading.

I knew exactly what is happening here. I quickly grab fireplace pointer and popped the door open with it.

There we saw Beth crying with her wrist covered in blood. I then noticed the smashed mirror.

"I'm sorry." Beth cries.

Maggie immediately goes to her sister's side and took her away to get her wrist to stop bleeding.

After we got Hershel to attend Beth's wound. Maggie goes outside while Andrea runs up to the house.

Oh shit Maggie going to snap her head off.

"Where were you?" Maggie demanded.

"I hear it. Is she alright?" Andrea asks.

"She would be if you stay with her. Where were you?"

"How bad is she?"

"Pretty deep." Maggie answered.

"She wants to live." Andrea announced. "She made her decision."

"She tried to kill herself!" Maggie snapped.

"No she didn't." Andrea disagreed.

"My father is stitching her wrist right now!"

"She'll live."Andrea assured her, she walked towards the house but Maggie stops her.

"Stay away from her." she warned. "From the both of us, don't you dare step foot in this house again."

Andrea glance at us then nods and turns to leave.

Maggie turns and about to go inside until Lori spoke up.

"I'm not going to say she was right but she made her choice. She wants to live and it's sometimes you got to cross the line."

Maggie shrugs then goes inside.

I stare after Andrea feeling a slight guilt.
