Chapter 3
We gave Shane a lift up the mountain with me being squished in between him and Matt.
"So where are you two from?"
"Oklahoma. We were headed to Atlanta, but after seeing all the cars we decided against it."
Shane looked me up and down when Matt wasn't looking; I couldn't help but smirk at him.
"So, are you two together?"
That made my brother and I crack up laughing. Turning to Shane I shook my head no.
"Nope, we're brother and sister."
Shane sighed and smiled at me.
After about five minutes we came across a few cars and some tents set up off to the side.
Jumping down from the truck Shane walked over to an older gentleman and started talking to him. As my brother and I slid out of the truck, we walked over to Shane as he called a good size, and very diverse, group of people up.
After explaining that we would be staying with them, Shane introduced everyone to us.
"This is Lori, and her son Carl; Andrea and Amy; Dale, Glenn, Jacqui, and T-Dog; Ed, Carol, and their daughter Sophia; Daryl and Merle; and Jim."
We shook everyone's hand and introduced ourselves.
After everyone went back to what they were doing, we decided to set up our tent between Shane and the brothers. But still far enough back for privacy.
Feeling like I was being watched I glanced over my shoulder to see Daryl watching me while he was cleaning his cross bow and talking to his brother. With a small grin I waved at him, causing him to look away and his brother to laugh.
Tuning back to my brother we finished putting everything together.
"Think we found somewhere safe?"
"I hope so."
As we climbed into the tent I started to change into a pair of cut off jeans and a tank top.
My brother just shook his head.
"Why are you changing?"
"To be comfortable?"
"To show off?"
"Who would I show off for?"
"Oh I don't know? For Shane? Or Daryl? I'm not blind cobra. I saw them checking you out."
"Shut up hick, I know what I got."
"Cobra, both of us haven't had a shower in well over a week."
"Well, maybe they know where we can wash off?"
I laughed as I left the tent, only to run into Daryl.
"Watch it new girl."
"What's your problem?"
"Whatever."
He tried to walk away, but me being me, I grabbed his arm to get his attention.
"What?"
"You don't have to be so rude. I just have a question. Where can I go to wash off?"
"The lake."
"That's all I needed."
I huffed towards the lake, grabbing my gun with me.
Reaching the lake I stripped down and waded into the slightly cold water.
Ducking down into the water and scrubbing at my hair, I resurfaced and immediately noticed that I wasn't alone. Glaring I noticed the other Dixon staring at me.
"Can I help ya?"
"Just enjoyin the view sweetheart."
"Uh huh. You an yer brother."
That made him laugh, I couldn't help but laugh with him.
"Ya got that right sweetheart."
"Do ya mind turning around? I'd like some privacy."
With a laugh he turned around so I could get dressed.
Happily I sat next to the redneck that reminded me so much of my brother before he got a job.
Turning to Merle I couldn't help but smile.
"Whatcha smilin at sweetheart?"
"You. You remind me of my brother before he got a job and stopped being fun."
All he did was laugh.
We sat and talked for awhile, manly about our life's before the world went to hell.
We heard a rustle in the woods, both of us reaching for our guns, once we saw it was only Daryl we both lowered our guns.
All he did was glare at his brother and make his way back up to camp.
"What's his problem?"
"I think we should head back to camp sweetheart."
"Why do you keep calling me that?"
"You need a nickname."
"Call me cobra, all my friends and family did."
"You got it cobra."
I couldn't help but smile as we headed back to camp.
"So, what's your brother like? Is he as charming as you?"
"I'm surprised that took you so long to ask about. He's shy. Good luck cobra."
I couldn't help but laugh with him as we sat next to our brothers.
Matt nudged me as I sat down.
"So where were you ALL day?"
"At the lake with Merle, that ok with you?"
"Maybe."
I glared at my brother, and started chowing down on some beans after thanking Lori.
Admittedly I kept stealing glancing at Daryl and Shane.
After eating and hanging out I decided to call it a night.
Sneaking off to my tent. I noticed that Daryl was waiting by my tent.
Glancing at him I tried to walk past him, until he grabbed my arm.
"What's your relationship with my brother?"
"We're just friends. He reminds me of my brother."
I couldn't help but smile at the confused face she made.
"Goodnight Daryl."
I laughed as I climbed into my tent. And curled around a huge stuffed Chesher cat, and fell asleep.
You know the drill
