Sorry that this is a short chapter. I have decided to join a week long online psych course just so my brain stays active during lockdown so my posts might be shorter than normal but hopefully more frequently.

Group POV

Dale being the most observant person in the moment noticed that they were missing two members of the group, Daryl and Merle.

"Merle, Daryl did they make it?" Dale questioned. This spurred the other members of the group to give a questioning glance around the camp. However before anyone could ask anymore upon the subject, Merle unzipped his tent and stolled over Glenn, swinging an arm around the boy and ruffling his hair.

"Chinaman"

"Merle good to have you back, I guess?" Glenn gave with a shake of his head, never having gotten used to the nickname he was given.

Their friendly interaction gave the group even more questions however it was Andrea who spoke up first, "and Daryl".

Merle locked eyes with Glen sweeping his gaze over to the camper van with a devilish smirk on his face.

"Daryl is in the camper if anyone would like to go over and greet mah little brotha after a very stressful trip, I'm sure he would love the company" Merle gave with a chuckle.

This statement made Glenn go pale in the face and he threw his hands up in the air, "No he doesn't want any company and neither will she".

"What makes you say that"

"She certainly didn't mind everyone on the rooftop," added T-Dog.

"Trust me that girl is my best mate and if we all go stomping over there she will probably kill us in our sleep when we're least expecting it"

"Would someone like to explain what is going on here" Shane forcefully said. Lorri stood up from where Carl was and walked behind Shane to give glare to the rest of the rescue group.

Rick nervously rubbed his hand over the back of his neck. He knew that everyone would not only think someone who spends time with Dixon is just as bad as them but when they find out she was a circus performer and is engaged to both the brothers people will frown upon her and cause trouble.

"Merle and Daryl found someone they had lost for a little bit" Rick addressed the whole group.

"Hey I also managed to get my best mate back, I'll have you know" Glenn added. He was aware of the reason for his absence in Rick's statement, probably not wanting to make the unusual relationship the brother had and more confusing for some of the close minded members.

"Don' worry boy. I'm sure she'll still remember you when Daryl's finished with her"

"God Merle you never change. You're always such an ass"

Before the group could get any more information out of the men standing in front of them Carl innocently interrupted "Dad I think Daryl is fighting with someone look". The whole camp turned towards the van and noticed its steady rocking.

This led Glenn to let out a frustrated sigh. Yey again before any explanations could be given to the boy a loud moan escaped the van.

"MMM DARRYYYL"

"Well that explains some things I guess but we expect to meet the mysterious woman that managed to get close to Daryl and is friends with our friendly Glenn" Carol said with a small laugh.
