"Well I left home when I was ten. I took off in to the woods and my mom's boyfriend was chasing me and he eventually caught up and tackled me and took his pocket knife and craved the words I will kill you." I said standing up and pulling up my shirt to show the marks along with others that he had given me.
"What are the other ones from?" asked Daryl, "And how did ya get him off ya?"
"He also gave those to me, and Merle came out of the woods. His oldest son. And pulled the man off me and knocked him out. Merle took me and raised and trained me everything I know, from trackin' to fightin'."
"So Mere told you 'bout me. I'm sorry fer what my dad did t'ya."
"Yep, he said he had a pussy li'l brother named Daryl Dixon. And that's not the worst thing," I said looking down. Daryl glanced over with a raised eyebrow.. "He... He raped me several times." I said looking down. Daryl got up and pulled me into a hug. "I got used to it after a while then this shit broke out and then huge guys I would have never been able to get off diced to get a piece as well." I said, tears threatening my eyes but them then I heard Dani screaming.
I jumped out of the RV to see Shane beating the shit out of her. I ran over and punched him in the nose, pushin' Dani into the truck. I kicked him in the gut and pinned him down, punchin' him repeatedly. Daryl pulled me off, but Shane got up and grabbed me and put a hand around my mouth so I wouldn't scream.
"ANYONE GET ANY CLOSER AND I'LL SHOOT THE LITTLE BITCH." I bit his hand hard making him scream then he let go and I kick the gun out of his hand. Rick grabbed Shane and held him down while Daryl held me down. I was kicking my way out but his grip tightens, so I finally gave up.
"Let me go! I have to check on Dani!" Daryl let me go. I opened the truck door to see Dani unconscious. I walked up to Shane and got in his face.
"YOU EVER TOUCHE HER AGAIN AND I WILL KILL YOU! I MAY BE 12 BUT I HAD A GOOD TEACHER." I ran back to the truck, grabbed my book bag and slung Dani over my shoulder and started walking. Then I found the car I had all our weapons in and grabbed my bow and my gun, then Dani's bow her gun then our knives once I got everything ready I grabbed her again and started waking. I was only about twenty feet from the group.
" we cant just let her go" Daryl said
" let the bitches go!" said Shane. Daryl walked up and punched Shane right in the face then took off after the 2 girls. he new that she wouldn't come back so he picked her up and and carried the struggling girl and her best friend back to the RV.
" sit down and don't move" Daryl said. Alex pulled out her backpack and grabbed some alcohol and poured on to a rag and clean up Dani who was still knocked out but at least she doesn't feel it.
Within a day Dani was back on her feet. Alex and Shane still hated each other and Alex always felt eyes on her. By then they were at the farm some girl came and took Lori and said rick needed her Carl was shot but we was awake and alive know ready to start moving. Both girls met up with an old friend.
"Carl?"
Alex said Carl was good friends with both the girls and ale never said anything to anyone except Dani that she had a crush on Carl ever since kindergarten when they first met. So ever since then the 3 formed a pack with each other and stuck up for each other because they were always bullied. Alex walked Carl home a few times because when he went alone he would always get attacked and he was such a small boy so there wasn't much he could do.
" Alex. Dani?" Carl said.
shocked to see his 2 best friends standing there. he never told anyone but Dani that he liked Alex since kindergarten. She had always beat up the bullies if the ever tried so much as to talk to him and he loved that. Dani he knew wouldn't say anything.
"H-how are you feeling?" asked Alex still shocked that is was him.
" I'm good. ready to get out of this damn bed though." just then rick walked in
."Hey! just because Alex and Dani cuss don't mean you can." Carl sighed " anyway you 2 girls should go do our chores."
they walked outside. Dani walked over to Lori to help her with the Landry and Alex walked over to Daryl who was going somewhere probably hunting.
" hey can i go huntin with you?" Alex asked its been about a month since she has gone hunting and she missed it.
" do you know how to hunt?"
"yes Merle taught me"
" well what every you kill you gut and skin." he said trying to find some reason for her not to go.
" okay that's probably my favorite part bout huntin." Daryl sigh
"fine go on and get yer bow leavin in 2 so get a move on it sunshine." Daryl had grown to start calling her sunshine and he still called Dani Dani.
While he was waiting for the girl he had realized that he remembered Merle sayin that he had to go because he'd got someone to live for some that needed him. Alex had started calling Daryl uncle Daryl and confessed that she a always called Merle dad after a few weeks of there parents bein together.
" uncle Daryl" Alex said trying to get him out of the trance.
"Daryl!"
"huh what's the matter sunshine."
"nothin I'm ready ta go"
" oh well lets get goin"
they both leaped over the fence and headed toward the woods once the were out there a good 20 minutes Alex took off in the other direction." sunshine get your ass back here" When he caught up to her he saw her pullin her arrow outa somethin. "
got a 9 pointer" she said full of pride
" you scared the hell outta me sunshine don't ever do that again."
"what you don't want me to catch dinner that will last at least a week." she said with a smirk as Daryl look down at the catch.
He looked over a her and smacked her upside the head not hard but enough to make her lose her balance a wobble back and forth. "you know what i mean" he said looking over at her while she rubbed her head.
" ow that hurt what the fuck was that for." "hey ya better watch your mouth sunshine"
"Dad let me cuss so ima do what i want." Daryl rolled his eyes and went to pick up the deer.
"No. I got it you just take my bow." he look down at her thinking she wasn't able to carry it.
"what my catch my responsibility. When we get back will you help me string it up though." "ya sure but if you can't handle it let me know and i will carry it."
"i can handle it i carried all dads shit his weapons and his catches." Daryl just nodded and she slung the deer over her shoulders proving that she could clearly handle herself.
Alex and Daryl just got back from hunting when they entered the camp seeing Carl was up and feeling better. Dani look over to Alex with a worried look and Alex have her a reassuring glance and continued til she found a nice tree to tie the deer up.
" nice kill Daryl. Should be enough to last us a week."rick and lori said.
" i didn't kill it sunshine here kill this one." he said feeling proud to be called her uncle.
"no way she could have killed that" rick said " I believe it" both Dani and Carl looked over at the 2.
"how do you thing we stayed a live for so long." was all Dani said.
"Ya i believe it because on the days Alex would walk home with me. The days i had to walk home. She would always be killing squires or something with the pocket knife she carried around in her backpack." Carl said remembering the days when you weren't killing undead walkers.
" Yup Merle and i always had an after school snack it was always a fresh kill so she would freak out and i would get yelled at by my mom and sent to my room. Then Mr. Dixon would-" Alex said looking down not saying what would happen next after came up.
Everyone went to bed with full bellies. Alex and Dani slept up in a tree. everyone else went to there tents even Daryl.
