Shy's PoV:
After checking the car for Sophia and not finding anything we head back to my truck. I get in and follow Daryl on his bike down the highway.
"Feels good bein' back." I comment to myself. I've had this truck since I was 16 and it was my grandpa's before that. She's a little old, but dependable and I really didn't want to leave her behind.
Once we're back on the farm, I pull up near the village of tents. I park a little far away though: I don't want to make these people uncomfortable, what with me being a stranger and all.
When I hop out the door, I hear shouting over by the ring of trees in the center of the tents. I see Maggie throw something at Lori, then stomps off. Glen hesitates a minute, the follows her.
I turn to Daryl, who pulled up beside me. "Any idea what that was about?"
He shrugs. "I don't really get involved with none of that."
I nod. "Good plan."
A little later, while I'm helping Daryl clean his arrow, Andrea and Shane walk over to us.
"What are you guys up to?" Andrea says as she comes up beside us with Shane next to her. "Do you have any plans for today?"
I tell her nothing and Daryl says the same. "Okay, well Shane's going to teach everyone to shoot, so if you want to come you can." She looks at Daryl. "I know you already know how to shoot, but I though Shy might like to."
"That's real nice of you, but I already know how to shoot. I've been hunting since I was ten." I answer, smiling.
"Why don't you come prove it then?" Shane butts in.
"Are you saying you don't believe me?" I ask a little annoyed, crossing my arms. What is this guy's issue with me?
"I'm just saying that we don't know you. I don't know if you're a liar. I don't know if you're a thief, or if you're going to murder us all in our sleep and run off with our supplies. We don't know anything about you." Shane responds with a mean look in his eye.
"She's good. She ain't the kind to do that." Daryl interjects. I'm a little surprised at him standing up for me but I'll take it.
"You would say that. Out of all of us, you're the one with the least ties. You'd probably just run off with her if she raided camp." He says and Andrea shots him a disapproving look.
"What did you just say?!" Daryl says as he rushes toward Shane. Andrea grabs Shane and pushes him out of Daryl's way. I grab Daryl around the waist and pull him back. He stops trying to go for Shane then Andrea pipes up.
"Fighting is not going to solve anything. We've just got to learn to trust each other." She pauses. "Just to make things a little easier, Shy will you please come shot with us? It won't take long, I promise." When I don't say anything, she adds, "Please?"
With a long sigh, I agree. "Fine. I'll go, but just to show your ass up, Shane." Shane scoffs and Daryl, standing beside me, chuckles. Andrea and Shane start to walk away, motioning to follow. I do and Daryl decides to come too.
"Why are you comin'?" I ask him quietly. I don't want Shane and Andrea to overhear.
"Cause I wanna watch you show him up too." He whispers in my ear.
