Dealing with my Anger

Today my brother went out with part of the group to go on a supply run. Don't know why he's tryin' so hard to fit in. Guess he's tryin' to make it easier to stay on the group's good side. Since he was goin' to be gone for the day, I decided to go on a huntin' trip, get back by sometime tomorrow. I went into the woods right after my brother and the group left for the run. I just wandered around followin' some tracks that could be promisin'.

I didn't find much out here the whole day. Found a few squirrels that we could eat, but that was 'bout it. I decided to set up camp for the night and made one of the squirrels for dinner. As I sat around my small fire I couldn't help my mind wander to the new girl Merle and I found just two weeks ago. Timi was adorable even though she looked young and had her moments, she was smart and interesting.

I tried so hard not to think about her sometimes but ever since I overheard her reveal to the other girls at camp she had a thing for me I felt like maybe I had some kind of chance. Of course Merle kept throwing that thought out the window 'cause he always reminded me, "The Dixons stick together, and no one will ever want a Dixon."

He always makes me feel like I can't be good for anyone, but she actually likes me, take that Merle. I just wish I had the damn confidence to talk to her, every time I get the chance to say something I just walk away, grunt, or give a quick simple answer. I wish I wasn't such a god damn pussy when it came to women, but it's not like she tried to make a move either.

She was pretty shy though, I overheard her talkin' to Amy and Dale one day near the RV and she was tellin' 'em how shy she was before the apocalypse. She also mentioned how she cut her hair just before the apocalypse, good call on her part, plus her spiked up dark brown hair brings out her facial features more, but I can't help to wonder what she'd look like with longer hair.

Also her dark brown eyes are adorable especially when she's surprised or the light catches 'em just right. Alright Dixon get a hold of yourself and stop thinkin' about this girl. I let out a groan and brought my hand down my face. I decided to head to bed and maybe get rid of my thoughts about Timi.

As I laid in my tent I tossed and turned for hours the thoughts of her making me stay awake. I just hoped she was okay and came back in one piece from the supply run. Hopefully Merle didn't scare her too much, god knows what he'd do to that poor kid. I finally calmed down and fell asleep, but not without having a special kid in my dreams.

Dream Sequence (3rd person)

"What ya doing?" Daryl asked as he cleaned off his crossbow.

"Looking for something," Timi said as she pulled out everything out of her back pack.

"What are you looking for?" He asked while taking a look at her.

"I found this really cool marble set yesterday and I told Carl at breakfast I'd give them to him," Timi said as she kept digging.

"Why?" Daryl asked looking at her confused.

"Because Carl would have more use for them than me," She said with a shrug.

"Guess that's true, ya sure ya put it in there," He said while looking at her.

"I'm positive… ah-ha found them," She said while pulling out weird colored marbles.

"Those are interesting," He said with a cocked brow.

"Come on, it's the end of the world you'll take what you can get," She said with a pout.

"Yeah, yeah I hear ya," He said while going back to his crossbow.

"I'll be right back," She said as she walked away.

Daryl just grunted and continued his task. About ten minutes later Daryl finished with his task and wondered where Timi was. He was worried why she wasn't back yet from just delivering the marbles to the young boy. He decided to go off and look for her, he found Carl with his mother but there was no marbles or Timi to be in site.

"Hey kid, have ya seen Timi?" Daryl asked with narrowed eyes.

"I saw her earlier we played a few games of marbles but then my mom said I had to do some chores," Carl said to Daryl.

"Do ya know where she is?" Daryl asked.

"I think she's still playing with the marbles by the clearing near the picnic table," Carl said.

"Thanks," Daryl mumbled and went off to find her.

Daryl went to where Carl sent him and found her sitting on the ground playing a game with marbles.

"Hey Daryl. Sorry I didn't come right back. I started getting into this game," She said with a timid smile.

"Its fine, I know you're okay now," He said as he sat down next to her.

"Thanks for understanding," She said to him.

She leaned over and gave a peck on his lips. He stopped her from pulling away and deepened the kiss. Daryl felt so happy in this moment and wished it never ended. Before they could even pull away they heard a groan and Timi got knocked to the ground. Before Daryl could even react and pull out his knife the walker was tearing into her neck.

Timi let out a piercing scream that Daryl could barely take. He quickly stabbed the walker and pushed it off of her. Daryl picked her up into his arms and gently stroked her face. Timi was choking and gasping as blood filled her air ways.

"Please don't, I can't lose ya. I can't lose ya yet," Daryl whimpered out trying hard not to sob.

"You...ka… have… too let… me uh… go…" She choked out barely.

"I can't. I need ya," Daryl said leaning his head down tears falling freely down his face.

Timi reached her hand up the best she could and touched his cheek softly and whispered, "I love you too."

Her body went slack in his arms and her eyes closed. Daryl let out a sob and knew what he had to do.

"I did love ya," He whispered as he drove his knife into the back of her head.

End of Dream (1st person)

I jumped straight up in my tent and let out a gasp. I couldn't believe my dream about Timi, it felt so real. At first it was great, us just hanging out at my tent, then the kiss we shared, but how could it get fucked up with a damn walker taking her away from me. Maybe the dream was tryin' to tell me somethin' maybe we ain't supposed to be together, I don't know.

I ran my fingers through my hair and tried to get rid of my dream. I decided to pack up and go back to huntin', maybe that will get my mind off it. I quickly got ready and packed up and headed towards one of the directions I mapped out yesterday. I spent three hours huntin' and only found a few more squirrels, but I did find deer tracks that I'm tryin' to hunt down.

Eventually I tracked down the decent sized deer and shot an arrow in it. The deer took off slow yet I still had to keep a hurried pace to stay with it. I shot it again but the deer still didn't want to drop. I knew I was gettin' close to camp, so I wouldn't have to carry it too far. I shot the deer one more time and it galloped away, but this time even slower, so I knew he'd drop soon.

I followed the tracks and when I got there some of the group was surrounding my deer with a walker's body and head laying near it. I saw the teeth marks in the deer and got totally pissed. I was huntin' it down all mornin' and now it was gnawed on by a stupid geek.

"Son of a bitch. That's my deer! Look at it. All gnawed on by this filthy, disease-bearing, motherless proxy bastard!" I yelled while kicking the Geeks body.

"Calm down, son. That's not helping," Dale said to me.

"What do you know about it, old man? Why don't you take that stupid hat and go back to "On Golden Pond"? I've been tracking this deer for miles. Gonna drag it back to camp, cook us up some venison," I said back to Dale.

I walked over to the deer, bent down and said, "What do you think? Do you think we can cut around this chewed up part right here?"

"I would not risk that," Shane said to me.

I sighed and said, "That's a damn shame."

I stood up and said, "I got some squirrel about a dozen or so."

"That'll have to do," Shane said.

"Oh God," someone said as the walkers severed head started to snap its jaw.

"Come on people. What the hell? It's gotta be the brain," I said as I shot an arrow into the severed head.

I took my arrow out and said, "Don't y'all know nothin'?"

I walked back to camp and started yellin' for Merle, "Merle! Merle! Get your ugly ass out here! I got us some squirrel! Let's stew 'em up."

"Uh… Daryl," I heard Timi say lowly behind me.

"Where's Merle?" I asked angrily.

"He was high Daryl and acting stupid, so Rick handcuffed him to the roof," She said nervously.

"And ya just left him there!" I yelled at her.

I got a little too close to Timi and I didn't mean to snap on her. It ain't her fault my brothers locked up on a roof.

"It wasn't her fault," This new guy said as he stepped in front of the kid.

"Who are you?" I asked him.

"Rick Grimes," the man said.

"Rick Grimes, you got somethin' ya want to tell me?" I said glaring at him.

"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 said to me.

"Hold on. Let me process this. You're saying ya handcuffed my brother to a roof and ya left him there?!" I yelled at the man.

"Yeah," Rick said.

I lost it and through my stuff at him with a grunt. I tried to get at him but Shane and T-Dog tried to hold me back. Shane grabbed me in a chokehold and calmly said,

"Okay, okay."

"You'd best let me go!" I yelled at Shane.

"Nah, I think it's better if I don't," he replied.

I let out another grunt and said, "Choke hold's illegal."

"You can file a complaint," Shane said.

Shane let me go after we settled down a bit. We got into a rational discussion of what to do. We decided to go back and look for my brother. The group consisted of Rick, T-dog, Glenn, Timi and I. I don't know how the kid got involved with going, but I'm glad she's comin' with.

Maybe it was their idea of keeping me calm. T-dog and Timi sat across from me in the van and we were all quiet for the whole trip. I couldn't help, but take some glances at the kid, I could tell she looked worried about what we'll find. I don't blame her though, it was those two jack-asses fault. I just hoped my brother is alright so I don't have to snap on this group.
We eventually made it to the city and decided to leave our van on the tracks. Rick wanted to look for the guns first, but I wasn't having any of it, we were going to look for Merle and that's final. We went to the department store where they said they left my brother. There was an ugly geek on the bottom floor of the store and I shot 'er with my crossbow. We went up to the roof and my brother wasn't there.

I was feelin' so many emotions I was just so angry and sad. I just kept screamin' No as I looked around the roof my brother nowhere to be found. Then his hand on the ground caught my eye. I bent down and picked it up by one of the fingers.

"Ain't that a bitch," I said looking at my brothers severed hand.

"Eww…," I heard the kid say.

"You got a do-rag or somethin'," I asked T-Dog.

He handed me a black do-rag and I wrapped my brother's hand in it. I stuck my brother's hand in Glenn's back pack and we followed the blood trail to find Merle.

"Stop laughing at me its gross," I heard Glenn say behind me.

"But your face is priceless, not like it's the hand from the Adams family and it's going to crawl out and getcha," Timi said as she made a hand gesture of a creepy crawly hand.

"Don't make fun of my brother's hand," I said looking at the kid.

"Sorry," I heard her mumble.

I didn't mean to be rude to her, but she is adorable when she apologizes. Focus I'm looking for my brother, ain't got time for lookin' at the kid. We found out Merle cauterized his hand, I knew my brother was a tough son of a bitch. We decided to go get the guns and Glenn made a plan up.

Glenn, Timi and I were in the alley where he took Rick when they first met. T-dog and Rick were in another alley way about two blocks away, just in case Glenn couldn't get back to us. He went out the alley to go get the guns and Timi and I watched his back. It was going good until some more geeks showed up and Glenn was kinda stuck.

"I'm gonna go help him," The kid said getting ready to take off.

I grabbed her by the arm and said, "No you're not, don't need ya gettin' bit while saving the stupid China man."

After that dream last night I wasn't about to send her out there and gettin' eatin' by a geek.

"First of all he's Korean and second of all why do you even care what happens to me," she said to me.

"Cause I don't want to be blamed for your stupidity and not having your back," I said to her.

"I'll be fine, just watch my back. I'm not going to let Glenn get eaten," She said and went to help.

"Stupid kid," I mumbled while shaking my head.

I covered her hoping she knew what she was doing. I heard somethin' from behind me in the alley way and reluctantly I turned from watchin' the kid to see what it was. I found a young Spanish kid probably around Timi's age hidin'.

"Whoa, don't shoot me! What do you want?" The kid asked.

"I'm looking for my brother. He's hurt real bad. You seen 'im?" I asked the kid pointin' my crossbow at 'im.

"Ayudame!" He yelled.

"Shut up! You're gonna bring the geeks down on us. Answer the question! Answer the question," I yelled at the kid.

"Ayudame! Ayudame! Ayudame!" the kid kept screamin'.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up," I yelled to the kid.

Next thing I know Glenn and Timi are getting' taken by other Spanish men who im guessin' is with this punk. I shot one of the men in the ass with my arrow. I tried to go after 'em, but Geeks were comin' so they took off and I closed the fence to the alley.

"Dammit!" I screamed in frustration.

I started yellin' at the kid, don't even know what I was sayin'. I tried so hard to keep the kid safe from walkers and some bastards took her. Rick and T-dog made it to me and asked what happened. I told 'em that his buddies took Glenn and Timi. We headed back to the lab because the geeks were tryin' to knock down the fence, we took the kid with us to see if we could get some answers.

We started interrogating the kid but he wasn't speakin'. I decided to use threats to get him to talk and showed him my brothers hand to scare 'im. Eventually he told us where we can find his men. We had him handcuffed and led him to where he told us his friends were at. His friends came out some on the roof and some on the ground. Both sides started talkin' and discussin' what happened.

"The guy I don't know why you'd save him, but the girl sure is muy bonita," The man named Guillermo said.

"Ya leave her alone," I said to the man.

I don't know why I said anything, it's not like she's mine. I just couldn't help the thought of someone hurtin' her.

"Chill hombre, I won't touch your girl," Guillermo said to me.

"She ain't my girl," I said to 'im.

"Ah, then why do you care so much hick?" He said looking at me.

I glared at him, but Rick spoke, "She's a part of our group, just like the man. We just want them both back in one piece."

I asked if they had my brother in there, but they said they didn't. We left and decided on a plan. I wouldn't want to be a part of this shitty plan if it was just Glenn in there, but Timi was there too. Rick decided to give Guillermo half of our guns and his man for the two of our people. We went back to where they were and started making our part of the deal.

"I'm gonna chop up your boy. I'm gonna feed him to my dog's. They're the evilest, nastiest man-eating bitches you ever saw," The guy said.

"And your girl we're gonna have some fun," He continued to say.

Before I could do anything a little old lady came out screamin' for Felipe.

"Get that old lady out of my line of fire," I yelled at the people.

She started talkin' to Rick and Rick was calmin' her down and askin' where our people was. We went into this old nursin' home followin' the group that stayed here. Some guy was havin' an asthma attack and Felipe was helpin' him out. When we looked around Timi and Glenn were just fine, and the dogs turned out to be three little Chihuahuas.

"We thought you were being eaten by dogs," T-Dog said.

"That's crazy, but were fine they're really nice people," Timi said to us.

Rick started talkin' to Guillermo about splittin' the guns between us. I thought it was a stupid idea but my thoughts didn't matter. I walked over to the kid and said, "Told ya not to go out there kid."

"But me and Glenn are fine," She said back.

"Yeah, but it still could have ended up worse than this," I said looking at her.

"You really do care Daryl," she said with a grin.

"I don't care. Just don't want to hear the whole group whining and complaining about ya two getting killed," I said with narrowed eyes.

Truth is I did care about 'er, I didn't want her to be taken away from me yet, not until I could at least have somethin' with 'er.

"Sure Daryl, I know deep down you care," Timi said with a smirk.

She patted me on the arm and walked away. I grumbled some incoherent comments about the kid, but it was nothin' bad. If she only knew the truth that I knew she liked me and that I liked her back. I stood next to Rick getting' in on what we were gonna do. Eventually we left the nursin' home and headed back to the van.

Of course I complained the whole time about givin' away half our guns and ammo. When we got to where we left the van turns out it was gone. Merle supposedly took it, can't blame him, but that's my brother for ya. We decided to head back on foot, we got back to camp around night time. When we got there it was total chaos, Geeks were everywhere and people were bitten. It sure was one heck of a day, ain't safe here anymore. It's not safe anywhere anymore.
