I opened my eyes and rolled over my side of the tent. It was morning and I saw that Amy and Andrea were gone. It was fun last night. Amy and I have birthday at the same day. Tomorrow. The three of us talked and laughed almost the all night. I saw new outfit beside me and my dirty clothes were gone.

I got up, putting on my new clothes. I walked out of the tent and saw that everyone was up and doing their business.

"Hey, sleepy head," I heard a voice behind me and I turned around to see Carol. She smiled at me and I gave her a smile back. "Hey, good morning," I said.

"Seems like you needed that sleep," She said. "Apparently so," I replied, giving a small laugh. "Do you know where my clothes that I wore yesterday?" She smiled and nodded. "Andrea gave them to me. I took them to get washed, I'll get them back to you as soon they're clean," She replied.

"Thank you. Do you need any help with anything?" I asked. She shook her head and smiled. "No, I'm fine sweetheart, thank you," She said and I smiled.

I walked over to Glenn. He stared at his red car being torn apart by Dale, Jim and Morales. "Hey, good morning," I greeted. Glenn looked at me and smiled. "Hey," He said and then turned back to the car, sad.

I giggled and then felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked over and saw Rick. I smiled. "Morning," I greeted. "Good morning," Rick greeted. "What wrong with Glenn?"

Glenn looked at us and then back at the car. "Look at 'em. Vultures," Glenn said and Rick and I smiled. "Yeah, go on, strip it clean." Dale walked up. "Generators need every drop of fuel they can get. Got no power without it. Sorry, Glenn." He patted Glenn's shoulder and smiled at us before walked away.

Glenn looked at me and Rick. "Thought I'd get to drive it at least a few more days," He said. "Maybe we'll get to steal another one someday," Rick said as I patted Glenn's shoulder.

Rick and I walked over to Lori, Andrea and Amy. "Good morning, you two," Lori greeted, smiling at us. "Good morning," I said with a smile. "Hey," Rick said, smiling. I took some clothes from Lori and helped her and the sisters.

"Good morning," Amy greeted. "Good morning," I greeted. "Why didn't you guys woke me up?" I asked. "We thought you could use it," Andrea said, smiling. I smiled at the sisters.

Then, I heard a car approaching and noticed it was Shane in his Jeep, "Water's here, y'all. Just a reminder to boil before use," He said and help the campers taking the tins out of the back.

After a few seconds, there where Kids screaming. "Carl?" Lori called to her son and the three of us ran into the woods, as a group of men followed us, the kids ran to us. Carl ran into Lori's arms and Sophia ran into my arms. "Are you okay?" I asked her. "I'm okay," She said and hugged me.

Rick, Shane, Glenn, Morales, Jim and Dale went running off somewhere to find whatever it was that scared the kids. Carol came over and Sophia went running to her mother.

I followed the men and saw a walker eaten a deer. The deer had three arrows sticking out of it. The walker turned it's attention from the deer to the men, it got up and started making it's way to Rick.

Rick took the first hit and the men followed, hitting it over and over again, until Dale finally chopped his head off with an ax. "It's the first one we've had up here," Dale pointed at the decapitated walker. "They never came this far up the mountain."

"Well, they're running out of food in the city, that's what," Jim said. The men looked at the body and a branch somewhere close to us snapped, along with the sound of footsteps. Everyone had their weapons up and ready.

Rick turned to see me. "Quinn, stay back," He ordered me. I took a few steps back and I felt someone pulling me. It was Amy and Andrea. We held each other close as the sound was getting closer and closer.

And somehow, instead of a walker, it was a man with a crossbow. He looked up at the guys and came to a halt, seeing the deer all chewed up.

"Son of a bitch. That's my deer! Look at it. All gnawed on by this filthy, disease-bearing, motherless poxy bastard!" He said as he walked up to the walker and started kicking at it. "This is Daryl," Andrea whispered to me.

"Calm down, son. That's not helping," Dale said to Daryl. "What do you know about it, old man?" Daryl said to Dale as he stomped over him, getting in his face. "Why don't you take that stupid hat and go back to 'On Golden Pond'?"

Then he turned his attention to the deer and pulled the arrows out of it. "I've been tracking this deer for miles. Gonna drag it back to camp, cook us up some venison. What do you think? Cut around this chewed up part right here?"

"I would not risk that," Shane said. "That's a damn shame. I got some squirrel- about a dozen or so. That'll have to do," Daryl said, lifting the squirrels up to show us. Suddenly, the walker's head started moving. It snapped his teeth at us. "Oh god," Amy said, disgusted and the sisters went back to camp.

Daryl lift his crossbow at the head, "Come on, people. What the hell?" He said and shoots an arrow in the eyes of the walker; Killing it. He pulls the arrow out of its head. "It's gotta be the brain. Don't y'all know nothing?" He said and with that, he walked back to camp, passing me.

"Merle! Get your ugly ass out here! I got us some squirrel! Let's stew 'em up!" I heard Daryl calling out for his brother as we walked back to camp. I saw Lori and a few women were standing by the RV, underneath a shade. I walked over to Lori and stood next to her and she wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

"Daryl, just slow up a bit. I need to talk to you," Shane said, putting his gun back in the Jeep and walked up to Daryl. "About what?" Daryl asked, "About Merle. There was a- there was a problem in Atlanta," Shane said.

There was a moment of silence and Daryl looked around at everyone. "He dead?" Daryl asked. "We're not sure," Shane said. "He either is or he ain't!" Daryl raised his voice. "No easy way to say this, so I'll just say it," Rick said walking up to Daryl and Shane.

"Who are you?" Daryl asked. "Rick Grimes," Rick replied, "Rick Grimes? You got something you want to tell me?" Daryl asked. "Your brother was a danger to us all, so I handcuffed him on a roof, hooked him to a piece of metal. He's still there," Rick replied. I stood there by Lori and Andrea as we watch Daryl taking the news.

"Hold on. Let me process this. You're saying you handcuffed my brother to a roof . . . and you left he there?!" He raised his voice, looking right at Rick. Rick looked at the ground and nod, "Yes," He said so calmly.

Daryl threw the rope of squirrels at Rick and Shane tackled Daryl to the ground. Daryl took his hunting knife out and got up. The kids that were in the RV came out to see the fight, Lori sent them back in and told them to stay there.

"Watch the knife!" T-Dog yelled. Daryl threw punches at Rick, but Rick kept backing away. Finally, Rick and Shane got a hold of Daryl. "You'd best let me go!" Daryl yelled, trying to get out of Shane's grip to get to Rick.

"Nah, I think it's better if I don't," Shane said. "Come on, man. We'll keep this up all day," Shane said. Rick lean down to Daryl and whispered something to him. Shane release Daryl. "What I did was not on a whim. Your brother does not work and play well with others," Rick said to Daryl.

"It's not Rick's fault." I turned my attention to T-Dog. "I had the key. I dropped it," T-Dog said. "You couldn't pick it up?" Daryl asked. "I dropped it in a drain," T-Dog said. Daryl looked at the ground, catching his breath and marched over to T-Dog. "If it's supposed to make me feel better, it don't," He said and walked away from T-Dog.

"Well, maybe this will. Look, I chained the door to the roof- so the geeks couldn't get at him- with a padlock," T-Dog said. "It's gotta count for something," Rick said. "Hell with all y'all!" Daryl shouted, throwing his arms into the air. "Just tell me where he is so I can go get him," Daryl said, looking at Rick.

"He'll show you," Lori said. I looked at her in shock and then I looked back at Rick, "Isn't that right?" She asked. Rick looked around at the camp. "I'm going back," He said and Lori went back in the RV.
