"if these are flashbacks, doesn't it mean she's already remembering?"

Squishy97 :

"I really like the flashbacks. Not many people do them but I sure am glad you do."

Hi! Okay so when I first started this fanfiction, I had this idea of the both characters knowing each other when they were younger. But after that amnesia came to mind in one of the chapters. What I'm trying to say is that at first those chapters from the past were just there to tell the story of both characters but now I'm trying to involve the flashbacks into it too yknow? I don't know if this answers your question lmao XD In the next chapters Imma try to work on the amnesia more. And you have no idea how happy that makes me (: Thank you so much for your kindness and your reviews people! You might not know this but it really helps (:

Daryl

Present

With the days that went by, people started seeing Evelyn as a part of the family. She slowly started trusting them, talking to them, laughing again. Everyone liked her.

"Hey did anyone see my hat?" said Carl on a sunny morning.

Everyone looked around but came up with nothing. Suddenly behind one of the benches at the back of the church we saw Ev. On her head sat Carl's hat, she poked her head from behind her hiding place and stared at Carl with a wild grin. Everyone started laughing when they saw her. Carl turned around and started running after her and next thing you know he started chasing her around. Everyone cheered him on with a smile. Evelyn was just a breath of fresh air.

Carl finally got to her and tackled her to the ground, taking back what belonged to him.

"Nice job kid. Ya got me!" She laughed.

"Okay everyone we gotta start to talk about some serious thangs." said Rick coming out from Gabriel's office. Everyone gathered around him.

"I think we should leave. The Church has been good to all of us but we're in the middle of nowhere. We're low on food, supplies. We gotta go." Rick added once everyone were all listening.

Some people agreed, others didn't. I agree though, it was time to go. Abraham started talking about DC and how there must be something there. That became our new plan.

I walked up to the bench I was sleeping on every night and started packing my bags and getting my weapons ready to hit the road. I looked up to see Evelyn doing the same. All alone and trapped in her own mind, she looks so tired. Around the others she was a goof ball but now I can see it, what she's really thinking. She picked up her quiver and slung it on her back along with her bag. I never got a chance to take a look at her bow.

I walked up to her to find out. When she saw me coming her tired expression soon got covered with a smile. "Hey Daryl what's up?"

Now that I was closer to her, I realised how stronger she looked, how courageous she became. I remember seeing her walking around wearing a dress and a bow in her hair. She seemed so fragile back then, but now she looks fearless, powerful. It took me by surprise.

When I realised I was staring, I coughed and nodded towards her bow. "Can I take a look at that?"

"Sure." She hands me the weapon.

A nice black modern recurve hunting bow. It was light, looked easy to travel with, it was pretty good. "Where d'you get it?" I asked still examining it.

"I was walking outside of the city, on a highway. Shit had just hit the fan. The place was littered with cars, open luggages, it was awful. I took the opportunity though, looked through the cars and found it in the back seat of a red sunfire. Lucky find." she said with a smirk. You could tell she was proud.

I handed it back to her. "I remember when ya found the old compound bow in the shed. You loved that thing so damn much." I chuckled a bit at the memory.

She just stared at me. "Could you maybe tell me more stories about me sometime? When we're not completely in danger?"

"Sure." I nodded. I walked passed the front door.

The heat knocked the air right out of me. The sun was up in the sky shining bright above us, I had to squint my eyes to be able to see. Everyone did the same once they got out. The last one to leave the church was Gabriel. He had tears in his eyes and you could see how hard it was to leave.

"Well let's get this show on the road." said Rick with baby Judith crying in his arms.

I hopped onto my bike while the others all climbed up into the white minibus. The engines started roaring and the church got smaller and smaller and disappeared into the distance.

Evelyn

Present

We came across the little city and decided to stop for gas and to take a look around for supplies.

"Careful, look out for walkers." said Glenn taking out his gun. Soon after, everyone had their weapons ready.

Walkers. I like that term. Tyreese was the one who decided to stay with Judith in the bus along with Eugene. As Glenn had predicted, walkers started to slowly appear with their bony feet dragging along the pavement. Michonne swung her katana from left to right swiftly decapitating the ones who got too close while we created a plan.

"Okay Michonne, you go with Carl and I to that store on the left. Carol, you go with Sasha and Bob and scavenge as many places you can on that road right there. And you Abraham can go with Rosita and Tara right there on the buildings to the right. Daryl, Glenn, Maggie and Evelyn, you guys can scavenge that whole part right over there." Rick pointed everyone to the places they needed to go.

I started jogging and soon after the others followed. With a machete, Glenn sliced a couple of walkers here and then until we had our backs against a brick wall. We decided to split in half to cover more ground. Daryl and I made our way inside general store. There were so many items covering the floor. You would've thought this place was inhabited by wild animals.

"Imma go look in the food department. Look out for walkers. Shout if there's somethin wrong, I'll come for ya." and with that he left my sight.

I made my way to the clothing department. I've been wearing the same thing for way too long. It was filled with walker blood, dirt, sweat and tears. I looked around the aisles, found things for Carl, for Judith, and then made my way to the women's section. I picked out a pair of black cargo pants, a black v-neck t-shirt and a cool looking leather jacket. I figured that black clothing would show blood stains a bit less so I took everything in black.

I looked around and everything was quiet so I decided to drop my back pack and change right here. I was going to throw out this clothing anyways, might as well change now to make more room in the backpack. I took off my boots, pants, shirt and slipped into the new comfortable clothing.

Found my way into the toy section to find it almost intact. I don't think there's many children looking for a shiny new toy these days. It makes me frown. I choose a cute looking plush animal for Judith and place it in my backpack.

Suddenly I hear loud thuds coming from the front doors. Taking a better look at the situation, all I could see were hands all tapping in the windows and gun fires could be heard as well. Something was up. I backed up in fear when two hands grip my shoulders.

Daryl

I walked towards the food department to find the aisles deserted. I still managed to find a couple of things here and there: a box of crackers, pasta, peanut butter and rice. I was about to head to the pharmacy section when I see Evelyn taking off her clothes, showing some skin. I knew I shouldn't be staring but it's like I got compelled. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Thank God she was facing the other way. She finally got dressed and started making her way towards the toy section.

I went to take a look at the pharmacy like I planned to. When I got there my thoughts were interrupted by loud tapping at the front of the store. I made my way towards the sound and shuddered in fear when I realised what I was looking at. I could hear gunshots coming from outside. I quickly found Evelyn and started dragging her to the back of the store.

Hi readers! So first of all I wanna share a bit of my thoughts with you guys. So I found that in the previous chapters, I used to talk more about Evelyn and Daryl but in the last chapters I've been trying to include the other characters to make it more realistic and interesting and in the same time also helps me give Evelyn a personnality.

So comment, give me suggestions, reviews anything you wanna say just say it, I'm very open! If you guys can, I'd like to know what you think of Evelyn and who she is but also Daryl because I don't want to make him seem too "in love" in the moment because that's just not who he is. Although, I don't want to make him seem like the guys who wants nothing to do with the others and is grumpy because it's not the case. Because I read many fanfictions and it's always one or the other so I'm trying not to do them both lol. Anyways with that said, think about it and let me know! Thank you so much for reading (:

-Caroline.
