"Dad, dad where are you" she screamed from the top of her lungs and continued to kick the man that was carrying her. She didn't know what was going on but her dad had warned if the police every came, she should do everything they say and not say a word about his work. But he promised this would never happen, yet there were police chucking things from there house and looking for something.

She saw her older brothers in cuffs being dragged in to police cars, tears were streaming down her face and she couldn't stop screaming. Everywhere she looked was police cars, lights and fighting.

12 year old violet managed to get free and ran to her eldest brother, Daniel, still screaming and crying.

"DANNY, PLEASE DON'T LET THEM TAKE ME" she screamed as she reached her brothers arms.

"Listen to me violet, you are going to go with the people and say nothing to them, you hear me?" he put his hands on each side of her face and she nodded. The police were trying to separate them and Daniel kissed her forehead and walked into the police car. A large man in a uniform carried violet of to a different car.

Violet looked out to the window to the chaos coming out of her house, watching all 4 brothers being taken into different cars. She didn't know that, that was going to be the last time she saw any of them.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Daryl woke up first, he and violet had been up in the tree all night and they had been squashed together. He opened his eyes and felt a warm body curled up by him, violet was laying on her right side with her head on his chest and her left hand on his stomach, Daryl's' right hand was on her waist. And the other was tangled in her long hair, just as suspected her hair felt like silk. He took a deep breath enjoying the quiet of the wilderness and the warmth of violets body. The sun was beginning to rise and he was nervous about waking her up, he didn't want this to end. She smelled too good and he couldn't help wanting to wake up like this every morning.

He had a crush on her ever since he met her in the woods and started talking. Many times he had thought about making a move or telling her he was attracted to her but then his mind got the better of him and said she would just laugh at him. He had only known her 2 weeks, but he knew that if there was ever a situation between her or the group, it would be her.

Daryl looked down at her pretty little face; he tucked in a piece of hair behind her ear and smiled. Thank god his brother wasn't here, he would be called a pussy. He liked the feel of her warm little body by his...maybe too much. He tried to shift his hips away so she wouldn't think he's gross.

Violet moaned softly in her sleep, Daryl wondered how it would sound if he was making her moan her name. He quickly slipped out of that thought when she turned away from him, she was obviously in deep sleep because she forgot they were still in a tree. Daryl shot out to grab her but it was too late, violet and Daryl fell from the tree and tumbled together in the dirt and leaves. They landed with a thump on the hard forest floor with leaves dirt and twigs going with them. They stopped rolling with Daryl on top of Violet, she had twigs and leaves in her hair. Daryl stayed on top of her, they were both breathing heavily and taking a mental note of where it hurt.

"What the fuck just happened?" violet asked looking straight in to his warm blue eyes, her face was flushed and she could feel his breath on her.

Daryl remained on top of her for couple of minutes, he knew he woke up with a hard on this morning, but now it was getting worse. He liked the feel of her underneath him.

"You rolled over and fucking fell out the tree, I tried to stop you but ended up falling" he said, as he got off her and brushed himself of. He held out a hand to help her up, she took it. He noticed how soft her skin was.

"Shit" she said as she got up, she leaned on her right foot and felt a streak of pain go through her leg. She fell forward and Daryl grabbed her to stop her falling.

"You hurt?" he asked as he helped her regain her balance.

"Yeah, my right foot, think I twisted it of something." She said. They both were staring at each other.

"Stay here, I'll go get my cross bow from the tree then help you back" he told her as he walked off to the tree they had been sleeping in the night before. Violet stood there as she watched him climb the tree to get his crossbow. She didn't really know what to say to him, she woke up in the night and realized he was cuddling her, and she couldn't help but feel what was next to her thigh. and couldn't ignore the tingle feeling that spread all over her body and the feel of him.

"We better get goin" he said, as he put his hand around her waist, he paused for a moment then moved his hand to her shoulder.

They walked like that for 15 minutes, Daryl could see violet was in pain. He wanted to carry her but needed his other hand free for his crossbow. He noticed she tried not to lean on him or show pain, he respected her for that but could see the pain in her beautiful green eyes. Daryl could see how exhausted she was and guided her to lean on a tree. She sat down on the ground, Daryl slumped down next to her without a word spoken between them.

"You feelin alright" he asked her.

"Yeah, just feel like shit" she said.

"Don't we all?" he said, she smiled, which cause Daryl to smirk and look the other way. Both of them were staring ahead of them, always on alert. Daryl took this opportunity of them being alone to ask her about her past.

"Where'd you grow up?" he asked, she looked at him then looked straight ahead again.

"Grew up in Georgia until I was 12, moved up north for 3 years then moved back down to Georgia." She said.

"Your parents like to move a lot then?" he was curious, she never talked about her family.

"When I was 12 I went in to the system, went to a family for 3 years then to another family" she said with no emotion.

"What happened to the first family you went to?" he knew she didn't like being pushed but he was intrigued.

"The dad was an asshole, his wife no better, and well their son, well you can tell he will be just like his dad, life was shit, then the second family were so nice, I was the happiest I've been in years since I was 12 but that didn't really last that long" she said with no emotion in her voice, only pain of the memories flashing through her head.

"why'd you go in to the system?" he asked, he was shocked, he thought she came from a rich well brought up childhood but her past seems worse than his. She didn't answer him which made him regret asking, she already told him things she made her feel uncomfortable now he felt like he was pushing her. "Sorry, didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable" he said as he stared at her face.

"No, you didn't make me uncomfortable it's just..." she said "it's difficult" violet sighed and pushed herself of the ground. She brushed the dirt of her trousers and Daryl started to get up as well.

"yeah I know what you mean" he said as he started to help her walk back to camp. "I was only in the system for 'bout six months, then my good for nothin dad convinced them Merle would look after me so I could go home. Went on a bender with some waitress the next day I got home." Daryl was surprised he shared that with her, he never spoke about his past, and especially to some girl he has only known a couple of weeks.

"Where was mere?" she asked.

"Juvy" Daryl said, he was surprised that when violet met Merle she didn't avoid them, actually the times he was in camp, she seemed to get along with him. He knew Merle liked her, hot girl who can hunt, use weapons and stand up to him. That's what Daryl liked about her as well, she didn't act like she was better than them. She would put Merle in his place and sometimes laugh at his jokes.

Violet wasn't stupid, she knew what kinda guy Merle was, drinking, drugs, women type of man, she should know she grew up with guys like him. But she didn't judge him, once Merle realized she wasn't some chew toy and could look after herself, he started to respect her on a level. Of course there were all the sexual comments but she could always throw them back at him. She was also aware of the looks she got of the other camp mates, they wondered why someone like her was around the Dixon brother so much. The girls teased her about crushing on Daryl, she would never answer but if he did offer himself on a silver platter than she wouldn't be one to turn him down...
