AN: Obviously, I've kinda decided to stray away of the show. I prefer it that way, honestly. If I'm on track with it, I feel pressured to get everything in there, and then there's stuff I forget and I dunno I just don't like it.

To The Wind Whisper To Me, I've never done the symbol thing. Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll stick to the ' sort of thing.

To FanFicGirl10 (about your PM) I've only read like up to where Shane died in the comics. But that would be an interesting twist if I went along with that, wouldn't it? :) I might do that.

The group had spent a whole week locked inside of the prison. Rick called a complete lock down. Lily thought she was going crazy. Being under the same roof as Merle (even if that roof could house 1,000 inmates) was almost impossible. Plus there was another thing...

'Can you keep watch for me?' Lily signed to Rose.

'For what?' Rose replied.

'Can you keep a secret?'

'Duh.' Lily discretely held up the box with the pregnancy test. Rose's jaw dropped. 'I thought you couldn't-'

'Me too. Please keep watch.'

'Okay.'

The two snuck away from the group. And Lily peed on the strange white stick. Rose waited nervously, with her eyes searching the perimeter for any sign of a person. But there wasn't any, luckily. A moment later, Rose felt a person at her side, and saw that it was Lily.

'We have to wait.'

Rose nodded and the two girls stared at the test for the next few minutes waiting. Finally, two little lines appeared on it.

"Hey," Daryl came up and nudged Lily. She was staring off into nothing. He assumed she was just thinking. "Princess," he sat down on the bunk next to her.

"Hm?" Lily looked up at him, her blonde hair fell from behind her ear, causing it to cover her cheek. Daryl gently tucked it back behind her ear.

"I was thinkin'...Carl got them bows, Em shoul' learn."

"She should. I'm teaching Carl a little later, you should come and help me with Emie."

"Sounds like a plan."

"But maybe we should put all of them in use...it couldn't hurt to have more people with quiet weapons."

"Coul' work too," Daryl agreed.

From the run they'd gained four new bows, six hand guns, two rifles, and three shot guns. Plus, almost one hundred arrows, and three hundred assorted rounds.

Later that day, Lily and Daryl, who also happened to know how to shoot a bow, but preferred a cross-bow began to teach Carl, Emily, Beth, and Rose how to shoot the four extra bows. They were in a secluded area of the prison that Rick had cleared when he went on his rampage.

"Lily?" Carl asked, after he'd shot a near perfect shot.

"Yeah?"

"Why doesn't Rose talk? Can't she?"

"Well," Lily knelt down to Carl's level. "She can, but she thinks everyone will make fun of her voice."

"Her voice?"

"Mm hm."

"Well I won't make fun of her."

"Me neither," Emily agreed.

"Well, go tell her this," Lily taught them some quick sign language. They ran over to the red head girl.

'Please talk to us,' the two children signed. Rose sent a pointed look over to Lily.

'Do it for the kids,' Lily signed.

"What do you want me to say?" Rose asked them. She could read lips, most of the time, but prefered to use sign language.

"What happened, why can't you hear?" Emily asked.

"When I was little, I was in a car accident."

Rose spent the rest of the day, after they'd trained with Emily and Carl. Beth, spent her time with Mason and Olivia. Those three had become close in Lily's absence. Glenn was on watch with Rick, Mike was resting as was Michonne, and Maggie was with Hershel in his cell. That left both Dixon brothers alone with Lily. Surprisingly in the time that had passed, Merle had already changed. He showed a new respect for Lily, which she welcomed.

"So, where's that cousin a yer's?" Merle asked.

"With the children," Lily replied. "Why?"

"Jus' wonderin'..."

Lily smiled softly. Merle had taken a liking to Rose, that much was obvious, but she feared he may use her, or hurt her otherwise. Rick walked into the room, and looked at the three.

"Merle, I want you on watch with Lily," he said simply.

"Where's Glenn?" Lily asked.

"Still on watch. He's gonna wait 'till you two get up there."

"Alrigh' c'mon," Merle rose from his spot.

"I'll meet you in a minute," Lily said. "I have to go grab my bow."

More so she wanted to say bye to Daryl in private. Merle didn't like seeing their 'love fest' any more than they wanted to show him, so he agreed.

"I'll come wit' yew," Daryl followed Lily to their cell. He caught her drift about wanting a few moments alone with him. They'd be apart for the next eight hours.

"Make sure Emie goes to bed at a reasonable time," Lily instructed. Daryl nodded.

"Be careful up there."

"Always am," Lily grabbed her bow and a rifle. Daryl pressed a hard kiss on her lips. "I love you."

"Love yew too."

OoO

Lily and Merle sat silently on watch, both of them just stared off into the distance. There wasn't anything for them to talk about so they didn't. But, without words, eight hours went by really slowly. The sun had long since set from the sky and they were only looking into the darkness now. A light bounced off of the surrounding objects. Merle and Lily were both automatically on high alert. He looked through the scope of his rifle, but the light disappeared before either of them could see anything.

"Go get the others," Lily told Merle. He nodded and headed for the door of the watch tower.

"Well, lookie here. Just the man I wanted to see," Lily would know that voice anywhere. That voice haunted her still. And, it probably always would. She wanted to run, to hide, to do anything to get away from the man that caused her so much pain. The man that ripped her from her family. That man was The Governor. And he was here. Here at the prison.

AN: I feel that this chapter wasn't my best. For that I apologize. But the next chapter will be good. I just didn't know where to go with this one because it was kinda the chapter to build up to the next one. So, I'm gonna start writing that one. Maybe I'll get to post it when I post this one. :). Thanks for reading. I'd love some reviews.
