A loud noise coming from the kitchen caused me to jump straight out of my bed. Who the hell was in my kitchen? I picked up my crossbow that was on the floor next to my bed. I gently crept out of my room; I was prepared to shoot the asshole who decided to rob me. I felt like an complete idiot when I saw that it was Merle. So, I guess I'm still in the future and I probably will remain here for a while. Tossing my crossbow on the couch, I entered the kitchen. I checked the fridge but there was nothing except for a can of beers.

"Hungry?" Merle said.

"Why do you care?" I asked before shutting the fridge.

"No reason. Just wanting to know if you wanted to go hunting?"

"Sure."

Our house wasn't too far from the woods, so it only took us a few minutes to get there. Merle and I split off in our separate ways because two was already too much of a crowd when hunting. I went walking around quietly in circles before I heard the sound of a twig snapping. I looked in the direction where the sound was coming from and saw a deer. Jackpot, I thought to myself. I slowly approached the deer. I stopped at a reasonable distance that would allow to get a perfect kill and the deer won't notice me. I was prepared to shot a bow at it, but a loud gun rang and I saw the deer collapse to the ground.

What the hell? As I lowered my crossbow, I saw merle holding up the deer by its neck, smiling at me. Asshole.

"The hell man, you saw me aiming for that deer?"

"Don't get upset little brother, How's about when we get home we can talk about our feelings?" Merle said.

"Screw you," I said before turning around and walking back to our trailer. By the time I got back home, I realized it was already afternoon. I spent almost half the day hunting, but it was a good thing because now I have food that's going to last almost close to a month. I also forgot that I had work today, but it doesn't matter since I'm the owner of the store.

"So, what's up with you and your girl?" Merle asked.

"Nothing." Nothing was ever going to happen between us, no matter if I'm the future.

"Doesn't seem like nothing."

"Why do you even care?" I asked mild annoyed. Why was merle asking all these questions? Our conversations were usually a few words unless it was serious.

" I care because you're my little brother," he said with a smile on his face.

"Bullshit." I didn't believe him for not one second, he wanted something and I didn't know what it was.

"Ha-ha, I guess you figured out that I want something. And that something is for you to come with me."

"Come with you where?"

"I got deal and normally I would handle it by myself but I'm not too sure about these guys."

"Fuck off." I wasn't going to any more messes with merle because they usually ended up with me or him in jail.

"Oh c'mon, us Dixons have to stick have to stick together."

"I aint gonna be part of yer plan," I said before heading out of the house. I didn't know where I was going but I needed to get away from here before I was convinced by him. I pulled to shop, despite the fact that it closes in 30 minutes.

"Look who's here boys," Martinez said out loud announcing my presence. I just ignored him and headed straight into dale's old office. It wasn't long before Martinez walked in shortly after me.

"So, what's the problem man?" he said before tossing the keys on the desk.

"What problem?" I asked. I had a feeling I knew what he was going to ask but I was hoping it just wasn't that.

"Don't play stupid, Dixon. You have been missing work and I noticed the fight between you and your wife."

"Nothing." I said.

"Yeah right, I-."

"Get the hell out of my office before I fire yer ass, "I said cutting him off. Martinez gave me one last look before walking out the office. Why hell couldn't people just leave him alone? The girl that was supposed to be his wife has been doing exactly that but people can't seem to follow example. He sat down on the chair and I saw a bunch of papers stacked on his desk. I guess I better get started. As I was about begin my work, my phone started to ring. I ignored it the first time, hoping that the person would get the hint but it started to ring again.

"What is it?" I said answering the phone not bothering to look at the caller I.D.

"I don't know if this will mean anything to you, but our daughter ran away." I recognized that voice immediately. It was the women that it supposedly married too, it was Beth. I didn't know how to feel at the moment at what she just said.

"Alright. Tell me where you are I'm coming." Once she told me where she was I hung the phone. Even though i don't have any memories of helping raise this child, it was my future kid after all. I pulled up to the police station and saw her speaking to Officer Walsh. Even in the future, there was something about this guy that pissed me off. As I was walking closer I heard a bit of their conversation.

"Don't worry Ms. Dixon, we will do everything thing we can to find your daughter," he said while placing a hand on her shoulder. Something about seeing him place his hand on her shoulder caused me to walk a little faster.

"Daryl Dixon," he said while removing his hand off her shoulder.

"What?" I said.

"I was just telling your wife that there is already a team out there searching for your little girl. I'm going to do everything possible to find her," he said with a smug look on his face. I wanted to smash his face, but I rather not since I was in front of the police station. I decided to turn my eyes to the women who called me here.

"I didn't think you'd come," she said looking at me. I wasn't shocked when she said that. The last time I saw her I told I wanted nothing to do with her. She looked different from when I saw her the other day. It looked like she hadn't slept at all and that she had been crying.

"I'll call you guys if anything comes up," Officer Walsh said before walking away. Once he was gone, she broke down crying. I didn't want to see her crying anymore, so I pulled her close to me. She continued to cry on my shoulder for a while before she stopped.

"Sorry," she said.

"Nothing to apologize about."

"I know, but I feel like such a bad parent. One moment I was making dinner while she was watching T.V.; then the next minute I look back, she's gone."

"Wait, so she's been gone since yesterday? "I said realsing my hold on her.

She just nodded confirming my suspicions. If she was gone since yesterday, then why was just hearing about this today.

"I didn't want to bother you, since you were in a mood," she said answering the question I was just about to ask. The memory of me telling to get away caused a bad feeling to for in my chest.

"Sorry," I said not really looking at her.

"It's ok." It was quiet for a while before an idea popped in my head. We didn't need know damn police, I'm a good tracker and I bet I can find her faster than the police can.

"C'mon," I said while walking back to my bike. I looked behind me to see if she was following and sure enough she was. I pulled up in front of the house where it all began. Once I got off the bike, Beth lead me too back yard which had a direct entrance to the woods.

"I figured she ran through here, but when I checked last night I couldn't seem to find her." I looked towards the ground seeing Beth's footprint and tiny footprints. The tracks were old, but it's only been a day so there's stills more time to try to find here. I waved my hand to signal her to follow me as I followed where the footprints leads to.

"Sophie!" Beth called out as we followed the tracks. It wasn't long before the tracks disappeared and we were standing in the middle of the woods.

"No more tracks huh?" Beth asked. I nodded in response. I expected her to cry, but instead she sat on the ground.

"You know… she loved coming out here with you, "she said while looking at the ground. I wasn't really sure how to respond to that.

"She's used to say she's going to be hunter just like daddy," she said. I looked at her and saw her fighting back the tears in her eyes.

"Now she's gone. I don't even know where she is. She could be hurt for all I know."

"Don't worry, we will find her." After I said that something inside of her snapped.

"Don't worry? That's all you can say. It's because of you she's missing. All yesterday she kept asking where you where? And guess what I couldn't answer because I wasn't too sure either. So, don't you dare tell me not to worry," she said looking at me. Tears ran down her face as she looked at me. I could tell she badly hurt and that made me feel bad. I wish I could feel more but I couldn't.

"Sorry," I said not knowing what else to say.

"Sorry? That's all you can say."

"What else do you want me to do? I ain't a genie I can't magically make her appear. I want to find her too," I said getting annoyed at the fact that she blaming me for everything.

"I guess this is what I get for marrying so early. I guess Jimmy was right when he said I would find nobody better than him," she said. I didn't know who the hell this jimmy character was but that statement seemed to piss me off.

"What more do you want from me, girl? I'm out here looking for our daughter too! I didn't know I had a daughter since yesterday. I do not know what kind of fucked up timeline or future I'm in , but I'm here helping you, "I said. I slowly regret what I was just said.

"Future," she said wiping the tears off her face.
