Sorry it was late coming, here it is.

-The Night-
I woke that night still tied to a tree.
"Good ya wake." I saw Daryl poking at the campfire.
"Whatever... You mind untieing me now?"
He sighed. "Fine..." and he untied me as rubbed my wrists.
"Thanks."
"Whatever." he answered and went back to poke his fire.
I went to sit next to him and resting my head on his shoulder.
"You're not so bad of a redneck." I told him.
He laughed.
"Ya not so bad either wolf."
"Hey, I was a test subject Dixon." I looked up at him.
I heard someone coming and I saw Carol.
"We can't find Lori. And the others aren't back yet either."
"Yeah... That dumb birch might of went to get them herself." Daryl answered her.
"What?"
"Yeah, she asked us to go." I spoke.
"Mmm... I told her I was done being an errand boy and keeping Claire close to me."
"And neither of you didn't say anything?"
Daryl and I didn't say anything to Carol. She sighed and walked off.
"Don't do this. Please. I already lost my girl... And Claire lost her mother."
"Yeah, that wasn't my problem either." Daryl said and walked off somewhere. Carol look to me.
"Claire I..."
"Just go Carol." I cut her off and walked into the tent.
"Hey Blue come out and eat."
I sighed and walked out of the tent.
"Thanks." I said and eating the squirrel meat.
A bit later Carol came back.
"What the hell are you doin?" Both Daryl and I ask.
"Keeping an eye on you two."
"Aren't you a peach." I nodded in agreement with him.
"I'm not gonna let either of you pull away. You've earned your place here."
I stared at her.
"Carol what the hell I've done to help this group?!" I yelled at her.
She fliched.
"Tsk." and walked off. "They created a monster... me, and I'll always will be one."
~The Next Morning~
We were loading up the car to look for Rick, Hershel and Glenn. My ears pricked up as heard a car coming closer.
"Guys." I pointed toward a car coming closer to the farm.
And I saw the guys come home safely.
The reunion was short lived when T-Dog said something.
"Who the hell is that?!"
"I thought I smelt a rat." I answered.
"That's Randall." Glenn spoke.
"Tsk.." I muttered.
"Right, everyone inside." Rick told everybody.
We all walked inside the farm house, and Daryl scratched behind my ears as we went inside.
"We couldn't just leave him behind. He would've bled out, if he lived that long." Rick started.
"How bad?" I ask.
"It's gotten pretty bad in town." Glenn answered.
"What do we do with him?" Andrea asks.
"We can take him to the main road, send him on his way." Rick suggests.
"Wouldn't that be the same than leaving him for walker?" I ask and crossing my arms.
"Just let him go?" Shane says. And Hershel came into the room.
"He's out cold." Hershel said. "Won't be able to walk for a while."
There was silence until Shane started being an asshole again.
"Let me get som' flowers an candy!" I rolled my eyes and leaned against Daryl.
"Look at folks we're back in fantasy land." Shane walked off.
"You know. We haven't even dealt with what you did at my barn yet." Hershel called after Shane. "Let me make this perfectly clear once and for all." Hershel got his attention.
"This is my farm. I wanted you gone. Rick talked me out of it, but doesn't mean I have to like it. So do us all a favour and keep your mouth shut." I smiled then and Shane left.
"Look, we're not gonna do anything about it today. Let's just cold off." Rick assured Hershel.
"c'mon." Daryl said to me and dragged me outside.
~Later~ (18 Miles Out)
Rick and Shane left with the kid so they could drop him in the middle of nowhere. And now I was in the kitchen with Maggie and Lori.
"Did Rick say anything to about Glenn when they got back from town?" Maggie asks.
"Just that it had gotten pretty bad."
"He's not the same." Maggie said with a sad face. "Says he froze. Blames me. Says I got in his head."
" He came back Maggie, that's what matters." I told her.
"True that." Lori agreed with me and continued. "Men have to do certain things, you know that, and they're either gonna blame the little woman as the reason they do them or the reason they don't." She said and getting food ready for Beth.
"And we... We're just trying to keep it together till they get back.
"Mmm." I started to think.
"Things were good, and maybe I..." Lori cut her off.
"Glenn's a big boy. He makes his own choices. I mean you... Do you have anything to apologize for?" Maggie shakes her head.
"Tell him to man up and pull himself together." Lori says. "Just don't say 'man up.' It never goes well."
"Or you could tell him to grow a pair... But then again probably don't say that either." and the three of us started laughing.
Maggie sighed.
"Let me just get this to Beth." she told us.
"Nah, go on. I got it." Lori told her and took the food up to Beth.
"So Claire, what's going on with you and Daryl?" Maggie asks.
"Nothin going on Maggie."
"Really?" she ask.
"Yes really."
"Then what's with him scratching behind your ears and you leaning against him?" I blushed then.
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone." she teased me.
"Okay why don't you go and find Glenn and talk to him?" looking at her with a serious look.
"Okay, okay Claire." and she left. I stood there for a minute and I left the house too.
I was mostly sitting/lying down on the porch. Then I saw Andrea running to the house.
"Where were you?" I saw Maggie looking pissed.
"I heard. Is she all right?"
"She would be if you had stayed with her. Where were you?" Maggie asks the question again.
"How bad is she?"
"It wasn't deep." Lori answers.
Andrea sighed. "She wants to live. She made her decision."
"She tried to kill herself."
"No, she didn't." Andrea argue with Maggie.
"My father is stitching her wrist right now."
"She'll live." Andrea tried to going to the house.
"Stay away from her." Maggie threatened her. "From both of us. Don't you dare step foot inside this house again."
Andrea look to Lori, but she looked at her with disappointment. And a
Andrea started walking away.
"I'm not gonna a say she was right, but Beth made her choice. She wants to live and now she knows it." Lori told Maggie.
"Just like how I handle mine..." I said making my presents know.
"What do you mean Claire?" Maggie asks.
"I just went into the woods and found a walker so it could eat me alive..."
"How can you be so stupid Claire?" Lori cut me off.
"You didn't let me finish Lori." I glared at her.
"Sorry." she says.
"And Daryl saved me, we started arguing and he chucked me over his shoulder and brought me back to camp."
"Really?" I saw Maggie smirking and I glared at her.
"Yeah Lori. I'm going to back to sleep in fantasy land."
"Okay." The both of them answered me and left.
I made my way up to where Daryl was.
"Hey." I answer.
"Hey." he called back. "Hey Claire I want you stay here tomorrow."
"Why?" I ask.
"Because Rick asked me to get some info out of the kid Randall." he told me.
"Wouldn't be a good idea if I was there with you in my other form?" I saw Daryl thinking about it.
"Yeah that sounds good scare him a little." I smiled at him.
"c'mon lets get some sleep for tomorrow." I nodded and went into the tent to get some sleep for tomorrow.
I hoped you enjoyed this. And I'll update whenever I can.
And sorry again.
