Well here's episode 2 in the second season I hope everyone enjoys and I want to say welcome to some of my new readers and thanks for all the wonderful reviews.

BTW this episode might include season 2 episode 3 cause episode 2 didn't have much scenes with the gang on the highway.

I have to say when I first started this story it was just a little idea in my head that I thought would NEVER turn into anything but the feedback this story has gotten has absolutely blown my mind and it makes my day every single time I read someone's review about how much they love my story.

I have made some amazing new friends and I love all my readers and followers soo so much!

instead of Andrea going with Daryl to look in the woods at night Koroline goes how that going to change when a very personal question brings up memories and a side of Daryl no one has seen before.

Wait and see ;)

So here you go and enjoy!

And btw im sorry if I make Daryl sound a little stupid it's just I don't know how to write is southern accent so I just cut letters out and hope for the best.

( Korolines POV)

I looked back at Lori to see her looking at the forest AGAIN. I wasn't the only one who noticed.

" Ya still worried bout tha" Daryl said.

" That was a gunshot" Lori said.

" We all heard it" Andrea said.

" Why one? Why one gunshot?" Lori said.

" Maybe they took down a walker" Daryl said.

" No" I said.

He looked over at me.

" Rick is smart , he wouldn't risk a gunshot to take out one walker. If it was a herd then there would be more shots. So why one?" I said sticking up for Lori.

" Shouldn't they have caught up to us by now" Carol said.

" There's nothin we can do about it anyways, cant go aroun these woods chasin echoes" Daryl said.

" Then what do we do?"

" Same thing we've been doing" I said.

She looked over at me confused.

" We try to find Sophia and work our way back to the highway"

Daryl smirked at me.

" I'm sure they will catch up to us back at the highway" Andrea said.

We started walking again and I looked over my shoulder to see Andrea talking to Carol. I picked up a little of what they were saying but was trying to pry on a private conversation.

" I'm just hoping and praying she doesn't end up like Amy" I heard Carol say.

I flinched. I know she didn't mean it that way but that must have hurt.

" Oh , that's the worst thing I ever said" I heard her say.

Andrea just nodded and put a small smile on her face , I could see it was forced but I don't think anyone else noticed.

" Were all hoping and praying with you" Andrea said. " For what It's worth"

"I'll tell ya what its worth not a damn thang" " All this hopin and prayin" He scoffed. " Were gonna locate this little girl. An shes gonna be jus fine" " Jeez am I tha only one zen aroun here"

I raised an eyebrow as he walked past me.

He stopped and looked me , crossing his arms across his chest.

" Watch what you say about the big man" I said crossing my arms and walking away.

I took one last glance behind me thinking of the shot we heard before turning back as we continued our search for Sophia.

I walked around a fallen tree and fell back to stand with Lori.

" Hey" I said.

" Hi" she said giving me a small smile.

" Thank you" She said.

" For what?" I said.

" For sticking up for Rick"

" Oh , yeah. It's true Rick is an amazing leader , he's smart and I think that as long as we have him as our leader we don't have to worry about this world getting the best of us"

She smiled as we all came to a stop.

" It'll be dark soon , we should call it" Daryl said.

" Alright lets head back" Lori said.

" We'll pick it up again tomorrow?" Carol asked.

I looked over and said.

" We'll find her tomorrow"

We turned and started our trek back to the highway.

I walked over to Glenn and fell in tune with him.

" Hey" I said.

He smiled and said. "hey"

" Sorry I haven't really talked to you in the past day or so It's been hectic"

" It's okay , yeah I know. So how's It's going with Daryl" he said poking my side with a smile on his face.

I laughed and said.

" There is no me and Daryl"

" Mmmhmm so that's why he was in your room at the CDC"

I looked at him shocked.

" You were drunk as a skunk at the CDC how do you remember anything"

" I recall some things , including knocking on your door, which BTW you looked pissed"

I blushed and looked down.

" So something did happen" He said excitedly.

God he's like a teenage girl.

" Now is not the time Glenny" I said.

He huffed. " Fine but you're telling later"

I laughed and rolled my eyes.

" How much further" Andrea said.

I looked ahead as Daryl turned around.

" Bout a hundred yards as tha crow flies"

" too bad were not crows" Andrea muttered.

I looked down and grabbed Glenn's hand intertwining my fingers with his.

" You know I now consider you my bestfriend" I said smiling.

" Well I'll gladly take that offer"

I went to reply when a scream cut me off.

I turned around to see who it was when I noticed someone was missing.

" ANDREA!" I said.

We ran towards the scream to see a walker on top of Andrea.

I went to pull my sword when a horse rode up with a girl on it and she beat the walker off with a baseball bat.

" Lori , Lori Grimes" she said.

" I'm Lori" Lori said stepping up.

" Rick sent me. You have to come quick , there's been an accident Carls been shot"

I gasped.

She took her backpack off and passed it to me.

" Wo you cant get on tha horse you don't kno this girl" Daryl said.

She just ignored him and got on the back of the horse with the strange girl.

The girl turned to Glenn and said.

" Rick said you had others on the highway. That big traffic snarl"

Glenn nodded.

" Back track two miles to Fairburn road you'll see the mailbox the names Greene"

The horse took off in a gallop and we were left sitting around staring at where it went.

The walker sat up with a groan and Daryl shot it saying.

" Shut up"

We turned and walked out of the tree line to see Dale standing there looking worried.

" Carl got shot" I said.

" Shot? What do you mean shot?"

" I don't know , I'll I know is some girl came riding in on a horse like Zora and took Lori" Glenn said.

" And you let her" He said to looking at Daryl.

" Climb out my ass old man Rick sent her , she knew Lori's name and Carl's"

Daryl said stepping over the guard rail.

" I heard screaming was that you" Dale said looking at Andrea.

Andrea scoffed and kept walking to the RV.

" She got attacked by a walker , it was a close call" Glenn said.

" Andrea are you okay?" Dale said.

She walked into the RV and slammed the door.

I scoffed and walked over to my car.

I grabbed a water bottle and took a sip walking back to the group all standing around the RV.

" I won't do it , I'm not leaving" Carol said.

" Carol , the group is split. Were scattered and weak" Dale said.

" What if she comes back , it could happen" Carol said obviously freaking out.

" If Sophia came back and we weren't here that would be awful" Glenn said.

" ok we gotta plan for this , I think tomorrow is soon enough to pull up stakes , give us enough time to rig a big sign leave her some supplies. I'll stay tonight hold up tha RV" Daryl said taking over Ricks leader role for the time being.

" If the RV stays I stay" Dale said.

" Oh , I'm definitely in" I said.

Dale smiled as Glenn spoke up.

" Well if were all staying"

" No" I said the same time Dale did.

" You need to find that farm reconnect with our people but most of all you need to get T-Dogg there. His cut has gone from bad to worse he has a very serious blood infection. Get him there see if they have some antibiotics cause if not T-Dogg will die no joke" Dale said.

I watched as Daryl walked over to his bike and picked a rag off it then pulled a container out of the saddle bags on the side of the bike.

"Keep you oily rags off my brothers bike". He said tossing the rag at Dale.

"Why did ya wait till now to say somthin I got my brothers stash" Daryl said setting the bag on the hood of a car.

He dug through it reading the labels of some pretty serious drugs.

" Crystal , X , I got some pretty serious pain killers" he said tossing the bottle to Glenn.

" Oxycyclean , aint the generic stuff neither that's first class. Merle got the clap on occasion " he said shrugging like it was no big deal.

Lovely!

I turned and saw Andrea come out of the RV.

" Andrea goes to the farm too" I said.

" Why do I have to go?" She said looking at me obviously she overheard the conversation from the RV.

" Because 1. I don't like you and 2. I can't do what I'm supposed too if I want to ram my sword so far up your butt you choke on steal"

T-Dogg choked on a laugh as she glared at me. I looked over at Glenn who had a huge smile on his face and was trying to contain his laughter.

Andrea stepped forward and said.

" Is that a threat?"

I pulled my sword and set it at her throat for the second time today and said.

" Yeah it is"

She glared a little and backed off to help T-Dogg into Carol's Cherokee with Glenn.

I smirked and waved at Glenn saying.

" Bye Glenny , have fun with blondie"

I laughed and walked back to my car leaving the stunned and some laughing faces of my group behind.

I hopped into my car to change for the night. I pulled on my camo shorts and a black tanktop.

I stepped out of the car and put my sword back on my back , my bow and other weapons secure in my car.

I walked over to the RV to take watch as it got dark.

" Hey Dale I got watch go to sleep" I said.

" Thank you sweetheart" He said climbing down and passing me the binoculars.

I nodded and climbed up the RV latter settling myself in the middle of the RV roof in a lawn chair that Dale had placed up here.

I looked around at all the cars and couldn't help but say a small prayer to the big man upstairs for all the lives lost on this road.

I sat there thinking about the day I got sent here.

*Flashback*

" Gabriel I can't do this I'm just an earth Angel. This is a job for you guys I'm not ready" I said pleading with the arch angel in front of me.

" Listen to me Koroline , He chose you for this , He trusts you , I trust you" he said laying his hands on my shoulders.

" I don't know if I can do this"

" You can" he said strongly. " I believe in you"

He hugged me and with a smile on his face said.

" Now go and save the world"

*End*

" You picked me for this , I just hope you were right" I said.

" Talkin to yourself is tha first sign of a crazy person" I heard someone say.

I spun around and said.

" OMG Daryl you scared me half to death!"

" I'm gonna shine some light in tha woods if Sophias out there it will give her somthin to look at" he said.

" I'll go with you , I have to wake Dale for watch" I said realizing that I had zoned out while I was up there and it was already pretty far into the night.

He nodded and said.

" Be quick I'm not waitin"

I nodded and walked into the RV , the first thing I heard was Carol's sobs. It broke my heart to hear that so I hurried up and walked over to the sofa Dale was sleeping on.

" Dale your turn for watch , I'm going with Daryl to look for Sophia" I said shaking him.

He opened his eyes and sat up.

" You sure you want to go?" he said rubbing his eyes.

" Yeah I'm sure"

" Alright just be careful"

I nodded and walked out of the RV , I walked over to Daryl and said.

"Alright lets go"

We walked over to the tree line and started walking into the woods.

When we were out of ear shot of the highway I said.

" Can I ask you a personal question"

He grunted which I took as a yes.

" Why don't you believe?"

He stopped and looked at me confused for a moment.

" I'm living – breathing proof God exists yet what you said to Carol?"

He paused for a second before saying.

" He was never there for me as a kid , He didn't stop me from getting lost for a week when I was 9 , or stop me from getting the crap beat out of me till I was 15. Why should I believe now? Just cause you prove He exists doesn't mean he didn't turn his back on me any less when I was a kid"

I stood there shocked for a moment with how much he had opened up and shared before saying.

" God didn't turn his back on you , and I'm sorry Daryl that you feel that he did. If it makes it any better , I'm here now and I'm not going anywhere"

He turned and looked at me , he opened his mouth to say something when a groaning sound and rustling in the trees cut him off.

" What tha hell" Daryl said.

We walked up to a tree that had a walker hanging in it by a rope.

" There's a note" I said pointing to the note stuck in the tree by a knife.

He walked up to the note and read it out loud.

Got bit.

Fever hit.

World gone to shit.

Might as well quit.

"Dumbass didn't even kno enough to shoot himself in tha head , turned himself into a big swingin piece of bait , It's a mess"

I watched as the walker started freaking out and thrashing to get to us.

" This is probably tha closest he's been to food since he turned , look at him up there hangin up there like a big piñata" Daryl said.

He pointed the flash light at the walkers legs or lack of.

" Tha other geeks came and ate tha flesh of his legs"

" Oh , that's nasty" I said.

" Yeah , well lets head back" Daryl said.

" Wait" I said.

He stopped and turned towards me " Wha?"

I pulled my sword from its sheath on my back and cut the noose holding the walker , it fell to the ground and I hopped back out of the way. I walked over to it and stabbed my sword into its skull.

" He wasn't hurtin no body up there why ya do that?" Daryl said.

I wiped my sword on the walkers clothes and took the knife from the tree sticking it in my pocket and putting my sword in its sheath.

I walked past Daryl and said.

" Fixing the world Daryl , one walker at a time"

He laughed and we started walking back towards the highway.

We walked out of the woods at the highway and up to the RV.

" Anything?" Dale asked.

"No" Daryl said.

"I'll go tell Carol" I said.

He grabbed my arm and said.

" Go ahead I got it"

I nodded and started walking towards my car , I looked over my shoulder and said.

" Goodnight Daryl"

He stopped and turned his head towards me and said.

"G'night Kor"

Hmm Kor? I like it

I thought smirking to myself as I got in my car and laid down.

That night was the first night that my dreams were invaded by a certain blue - eyed hunter.
