I opened my eyes to an empty tent. All of mine and Daryl's belonging were gone apart from the bed I was sleeping on. I sat up and rubbed my eyes before leaving the tent. As I walked out of the tent I ran straight into Daryl.

"Sorry." I yawned. "What's going on? Why is all our stuff gone?"

"Movin' into the house. Ain't save out here no more." He grumbled, reaching in the tent to grab the blankets and toss them at me. I caught them as they hit me in the face and waited for him to take down the tent.

"Where am I supposed to put this?" I asked as I watched him fold up the tent.

"Jus' go in the house 'n' someone will tell you." He grunted as he picked up the tent and walked to the RV. I attempted to make the blanket look folded as I walked up the stairs and entered the house. Everyone was rushing around and laying out their things in almost every area of the house. I squished myself into the wall, trying to stay out of the way as T-Dog and Glenn came through the door carrying boxes of stuff.

"Sam, over here." Maggie called out. I followed the voice until I found her in the kitchen. "You and Daryl get the room he had from when he was injured." She nodded in the direction of the room.

"Thanks Maggie." I called behind me as I walked towards the room. I pushed the door open with my foot and threw the blankets on the bed. I looked around a saw all our stuff placed around the room. I smiled at myself as I took in the fact that Daryl had organized something other than a hunt. There was a quiet knock on the door so I turned and opened it.

"Mind if I come in?" Carol asked.

"Sure." I shrugged, backing up to let her walk through. She walked around the room then took a seat on the bed.

"If you don't mind me asking, what are you and Daryl?" She asked quietly.

"Uhm. I don't really know. I mean, I'd do anything for him and I don't know what I'd do if he was gone." I said, looking at the ceiling. Carol nodded her head and clasped her hands in her lap.

"He's a good man. Good as Rick." She nodded before standing up and leaving the room.

"What the hell was that?" I whispered. I looked out the window and watched as everyone walked back and forth from the RV to the house. The bedroom door was thrown open as Daryl stomped in with a large box. I raised my eyebrows at him and he just shrugged to reply.

"Ain't enough room in this house." He said as he threw the box into the closet. "Rick and Shane are goin' out to hunt for a bit. Don' think Shane's gonna be comin' back." Daryl said, sitting beside me on the bed and patting my thigh awkwardly.

"Gonna go help bury Dale." He shrugged, standing to walk away. I stood up and walked up behind him. I slid my arms around his waist, hugging him from behind. I felt him jump slightly then turn around and wrap his arms around my shoulders.

"What's this for?" He asked.

"For being you." I mumbled into his shirt. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath inhaling his woodsy scent. I slowly opened my eyes and pulled away, but he kept his arms around me and pulled me back. His hands slid down to my waist and he looked down at me.

"It's my fault Shane got to you yesterday."

"It is not your fault." I said, reaching up and holding each side of his face.

"If I didn' go huntin' then you wouldn' have been alone." He grumbled.

"Hey. Stop." I said, pulling his face to look at me. "We needed food. Hunting is part of life now. I just need to learn to defend myself better. You can't blame yourself because Shane turned out to be a sick bastard." I shook my head.

"It ain't gonna happen again. To you or anyone else." He stated. I nodded and stretched up, giving him a kiss. He pulled away from the kiss and just held me against him for a few seconds before he let go.

"Best go help T-Dog with the body." He nodded as he walked out of the room, leaving me alone again. I looked at the sun and realized what time it was. Shit, I must have slept until 2 p.m. It must be getting close to supper now. I walked out of the room and looked around, finding everyone still busy unpacking their belongings. I caught a glimpse of Rick and Shane walking across the yard, heading towards the woods like Daryl said.

I made my way to the kitchen seeing Maggie and Glenn in deep conversation. They both stopped and looked at me, but I smile and walked back out of the room. I wandered around the house and ended up back at my room. I went back in and started looking through the books that were placed neatly on a shelf. I picked up a random one and sat on the bed. I started reading the book, losing concentration quickly as I fell asleep again.
