Emily meanwhile, had walked outside where Rick was aimlessly walking around looking confused. With a sigh she quickly walked toward her father.

"Dad?"

Emily tried to keep her voice soft as possible. Being loud wouldn't solve anything. It would just make Rick's nervous breakdown worse. Rick turned to her looking at her with wide petrified eyes.

"Why are you here?! What do you want?"

Emily held her hands up.

"Dad it's me. Its Emily. I'm here…with you. Just me. There isn't anyone else here. Everything is ok."

She said soothingly trying to step closer watching as Rick looked around for a way out before jumping back.

"You're not Emily! She's little. Lori you're being cruel!"

Emily sighed again.

"Dad I'm Emily. I'm 23 years old. I'm not a little girl anymore. Look at my eyes…these are your eyes. I don't even look like mom. Come on, let's go back inside and get you cleaned up. Get you some food or something. What do you say?"

Rick shook his head before turning and making a b-line for the other side of the yard. Emily shook her head watching him with heartbroken eyes. Never in a million years would she have expected Rick to no know her face. From day one she had always been a daddy's girl. When she was little all she wanted was Rick. Looking back on it now she felt bad for giving Lori such a hard time.

"Lord help."

She muttered before walking back into the prison her mind twisted into a complete pretzel. For one she didn't know how to help Rick and she was still honestly upset with Darryl. Sure his little make out session helped a little but surely he realized he wouldn't be off of the hook that easily.

Hearing Judith cry brought Emily out of her thoughts. Carl stood with the baby in his arms looking a little perplexed. Emily smiled walking to her brother holding out her arms.

"Here let me take her. She's probably hungry."

Carl nodded.

"She was fine then just started screaming. Maybe we should have named her screamer."

Emily smiled shaking her head as she cradled her baby sister in her arms.

"No I think you made a great choice with Judith. Now go get some rest."

When Carl was gone Emily sat down settling Judith into her arms. She looked down at the baby's chunky face with a smile. This would probably be the closest thing to a child she would ever have. Emily never planned on having children and bringing one into the world now seemed almost cruel.

"I won't let anything happen to you. Mama would be so proud of you."

She whispered as she kissed the baby. After her disastrous meeting with Rick now sitting in the quiet Emily felt almost close to tears. She never cried anymore. It was almost a waste of energy to do so but at the moment it was the only thing she wanted to do. Emily's heart ached. The one time that she really wanted to go to her father for advice he wasn't there. He would know what to tell her to do with Darryl and he would be able to see his youngest daughter.

"Not so tough without my brother around are you?"

Emily looked up to see Merle walk into the room with his smug smirk on his face.

"Leave me alone."

She said coldly looking back to Judith. Merle laughed coldly.

"No need to be stuck up now. Maybe you should get your little ass off your shoulders. I don't really see why my brother is so crazy for you. I guess Darryl was right. The only thing you're good for is a quick fuck."

Emily frowned.

"What are you talking about?"

Merle smiled trying to look as innocent as possible, which was a rare feat for him.

"That's why he came back. You think he came back to take care of you?"

Emily tried to keep her temper in check but that comment was getting to her.

"That's not what he said."

Merle laughed like a hyena.

"People lie you silly girl! My brother aint the saint you think he is. He gets bored with women just like I do. Yes that means he is bored with you too darlin. You know come to think of it I would claim to be a virgin if it got you in bed with me. We both know that is a big ole fat lie."

Emily had enough! She was beginning to shake. When she turned and stormed from the room without another word Merle smiled in satisfaction knowing his brilliant plan to destroy Darryl and Emily was working beautifully. It wouldn't be long before the two wouldn't be talking and he would have his brother back where he was supposed to be…under his thumb.

Darryl meanwhile, stood talking to Glenn, He looked up when Emily walked into the room looking furious. She didn't even look in his direction as she passed Judith off to Beth who was smiling eagerly. It didn't take a rocket scientist to know she was angry and judging by her actions it was at him.

"Christ what did I do now?"

He said coldly. Glenn looked between the two before looking back to Darryl with a wince.

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

Darryl shot Glenn a glare.

"You really quoting that to me?"

Glenn smiled sheepishly.

"At least she doesn't yell like Lori."

Darryl rolled his eyes.

"Honestly I would rather her yell at me or scream like a fuckin velociraptor then give me the cold shoulder."

He watched as Emily turned walking back out. With a sigh, Darryl stood and quickly followed her outside. Emily stood looking out into the prison yard. Her face was tear stained which made Darryl freeze. He didn't do well with crying women and this was one of the rare occasions that he had seen his girl cry.

"What's wrong now?"

He asked. Emily turned.

"Just leave me alone."

Darryl blinked a few times.

"What did I do now?"

He didn't move to take her into his arms or even touch her. Right now he felt his own walls coming back up as Emily turned.

"Is it true that I was just an easy fuck for you?"

Darryl looked shocked.

"Who you been talkin to?"

Emily crossed her arms over her chest not looking into his eyes. Darryl wouldn't pull his kissing tricks to get out of this one. She knew that she should probably talk to Darryl without being so angry but that wasn't happening. If things kept up the way they were going she would have a nervous breakdown and be wondering the yard with Rick.

"That doesn't matter. You didn't deny it so it must be true."

Darryl's mouth dropped.

"You got to be fuckin kiddin me! You're a piece of work sometimes kid! I never fucked you once until you were beggin me for it so get your facts straight."

Emily rolled her eyes.

"You'll be bored with me soon enough anyway if you aren't already."

Darry shook his head.

"You're off the fuckin rail right now! You know what maybe I shouldn't have come back cuz you sure as hell aint the woman I left. You're just a damn spoiled brat."

He turned walking back into the prison before he said anything else. His temper was shot now and the last thing that he wanted to do was deal with a hysterical woman a moment longer. Emily meanwhile, had turned and stormed toward the gates. She knew leaving the yard was dumb but she wanted to be alone and way from the rest of the group. Some alone time sounded almost to ideal at the moment.

Emily walked through the woods enjoying the silence. She kept a hand on her knife just in case any "guests" decided to show up. The sound of a bird flying made Emily look around with wide eyes. As she stepped further into the woods she began to think more into her argument with Darryl. That was possibly the worst one they had yet. She knew she would have to apologize and explain that it was Merle who told her those things. Maybe she was just over exaggerating the issues but she couldn't help how she felt.

The sound of footsteps approaching made Emily stop in her tracks. It was probably Darryl coming after her to gripe that she had gone off alone. When the person appeared it was someone she had never laid eyes before in her life. Before she could say anything he lunged forward punching her so hard Emily fell backwards into a tree as everything went black.
