Firstly a shout out to Guest who gave me my first review! I've had some chapters saved for loading but I want to make sure I do this story right so I'm reading and rereading trying to make everything fit.

I'm gonna do my best to update daily or at least every other day so please stick with me.

Lily is my OC as well as the rearranging of the original episodes to make my idea fit with the show.


She sat on the back of the bike as he retied the shirt over her eyes. He sat down and pulled her arms over his head. His hand was warm against the small of her back as he pulled her closer to him.

"Don't go falling off now."

The remaining trip was spent in relative silence and no one slipped off the bike, but then again maybe that was because she couldn't let go.

The bike began to slow as it made it's way uphill. After another minute, the engine turned off.

"Daryl, we sent you hunting for food, not people," a man said.

"Guess you could say she found me," the man who saved her responded. He lifted her hands over his head again and lifted her from the bike removing the blindfold. The man who had addressed Daryl was wearing a worn police uniform. The bike caught the corner of her eye and she saw it could hold two people comfortably. When she looked around the camp, she saw other survivors. Joy flooded her because she'd thought she was one of the only survivors.

"Where did you find her?"

"She was tied up in a cabin in the woods. I found her when I was hunting."

"What do you expect us to do with her?"

"Beats the hell out of me. Lily shouldn't be a problem though. Hardly says a word." He smiled patting her cheek before ripping the tape from her mouth quickly. Better he did it quickly than take his time, she thought.

"Lily," it was the police officer who spoke to her. She met his gaze. "What were you doing in the woods?"

She looked away from his eyes.

"Hey..." Daryl meant to say something but turned his attention to taking his belt back and putting it back in his pants.

"Lori!" A woman with long dark brown hair walked up to join the group. "Lori, this is Lily. She needs medical attention. See to her will you?"

She smiled at Lily. "Of course, follow me."

"Lor," Daryl called waving her over away from Lily and the police officer. It was apparent that Lori didn't like the nickname but she would listen to what he had to say anyway.

"I'm Shane," the police officer introduced himself.

"Lily Sullivan."

"Look, I know you're probably not in the mood to talk but Lori will ask some questions and everyone would appreciate it if you answered them." She nodded her head in understanding.

"Lily, was it?" Lori asked.

"Yes."

"Come this way." She took Lily's hand and led her away from the men smiling. "Let's get away from all these men."

Lori took Lily to an RV in the camp and sat her down at the table where she began to tend to Lily's wrists, arm, and head.

"So where did Daryl find you?"

"In a cabin in the woods."

"You been living out there?"

It was a moment before Lily could respond. "No. I was taken there."

"Oh, so someone you knew found you and took you out there? That's good to hear."

"No." She sighed. "There was this big guy... I was hiding with some father who had taken me in. He'd lost his daughter to the walkers and when he found me took me under his wing. Then this giant burly man showed up out of the blue one day. He came with guns and shot the man watching me and he took me back to his place." Tears had filled Lily's eyes. "I can't remember much..."

"It's ok. Take your time."

"I remember him on top of me... Several times... It wasn't just him though. There was another man from time to time."

"Oh, honey." Lori took Lily in her arms as she cried. "It's ok. You don't have to say any more."

Only a few more tears were shed before Lily gained control of herself.

"I'm going to go talk to Shane. I'll be right outside if you need me."

Lily watched Lori walk out the door of the RV. The second Lori set foot out the door Lily saw her make eye contact with Daryl and give him a nod.

"What's the consensus, babe?" Shane asked.

"She's been raped, like Daryl suspected... She was kidnapped by the man who shot her protectors and then he proceeded to use her for sex. She doesn't pose a threat to anybody here. She's just a scared girl who's been on her own for a long time. Should I make room for her in my tent?"

"She knows Daryl..." Shane pondered aloud. "Put her in with him."

"Him?" Lori asked shocked almost breathless. "You trust him?"

"Look at it through her eyes. She's been tied up in this cabin for who knows how long and then this guy appears out of no where, rescues her and brings her to safety. She'll feel a little bit safer with him than with you or me. She doesn't know us. And if she does try to escape, he'll hear her. He hears everything. Doesn't he?"

"Yeah, he does." Lori was about to reenter the RV to tell Lily about her lodging accommodations when she saw Lily had heard everything.

"I wouldn't want to impose upon you and your husband."

"You wouldn't be, dear. And he's not my husband. Daryl is the only one who's got room in his tent anyway...I'll get you a change of clothes."
