The doors opened to them, and even though this could mean death to them, they didn't feel up to going against a herd of walkers. They entered the building, Antoinette sticking close with Daryl but kept looking around and making sure Sophia, Carol, Carl and Lori were alright. It was like a graveyard it was so quiet.

"HELLO?" Rick called out and his voice echoed. Hello…hello….hello….

"Make sure those doors are closed, don't want to let the walkers get in."

The whole group aimed their guns at a tiny man who looked shaken aiming his gun at them. Antoinette didn't feel right as the man looked at them. Rick stared.

"Anybody infected?" The man called.

Rick stared with his wide blue eyes, "One of our group was— he didn't make it."

"Why are you here? What do you want?" The man pressed on as he stepped closer. Antoinette's whole body didn't feel right, her gut screaming at her to get away, this place wasn't safe. Rick kept begging the man pretty much for a chance. "That's asking an awful lot nowadays."

Antoinette however knew they had no chance out in the dark of the city. "Please sir, we won't bother you. We have children…please." She said quietly and the man seemed to stare at her longingly for a moment. Everybody looked terrified.

"You will all submit a blood testing,"

"We can do that." Rick promised.

The man lowered his gun. "If you got stuff, bring it in now. Once that door closes, it stays closed." He said causing Rick to nod and the whole group besides Lori, Carol, Carl and Sophia went to get their stuff.

The group all crammed together in the tiny space so they would go down to the safer area of the building. Annie was stuck between Glenn and T-Dog and behind Andrea.

Daryl decided to speak up. "Do all doctors go around, packin' heat like that?"

"There were plenty left laying around. I familiarized myself." Jenner replied, glancing over his shoulder at Daryl.

Annie felt a little sickened that this man took a gun from a dead man but then again, they had all been there at one point.

"But you look harmless enough," Jenner continued, "Expect you." Jenner joked as he nodded to little Carl who looked just a tiny bit startled. "I'll have to keep my eye on you."

Carl slightly smiled but Lori wrapped her arm around his shoulders, keeping him close. Antoinette really didn't understand her sometimes.

"Are we underground?" Carol asked as Jenner led them down a hallway with doors on each side. Antoinette wondered where each of them went but followed the doctor who had allowed them into his home, given them protective. She didn't even hear the rest of the conversation when she heard, "A little." Come from Carol.

"Try not to think about it," Jenner said as he looked at Carol.

So they were underground, smart. Annie thought.

They were led into a dark room, before Jenner called out to VI to turn on the lights. Annie was surprised to find that they were in a room filled with computers. She leaned over towards Daryl, awkwardly. "Wanna make a beat that this guy's crazy? Something just doesn't sit right me," She said softly, her voice thick with her accent. "So do you want to, oui ou non?"

Daryl chuckled, "Fine by me— so what we beatin'?"

Antoinette looked up at him. "How about, if I win and he is crazy, you… cook me dinner."

"Nah, I don't cook." Daryl said.

She sighed, "Fiiine…ummm you teach me something."

"Like….?" he asked.

"I don't know something! Umm, how about real tracking?" Antoinette asked.

Daryl nodded, "Fine by me. And if I win?" She raised an eyebrow. "Hmm you cook for me."

She sighed but nodded, agreeing. They shook on it and had missed everything everyone else was talking about.

Antoinette hated needles. She always freaked out when somebody tried to take her blood but she didn't want to seem weak in front of her group. Of the team… But, it was a needle and she didn't know how clean these were anymore. "What's the point? If we're infected, we're infected. And we haven't been bit!" Annie tried to get this guy not to touch her with a needle.

Jenner looked up into her eyes. "It won't hurt, just a pitch."

"What?! What are you talking about?" Annie asked.

He chuckled. "You're afraid of needles but you can handle what's out there?"

"I am not afraid of needles! I just do not know the last time you cleaned them." She tried to reason.

Daryl was moving towards her now; Annie wasn't sure why but she sure as hell did not want a needle. "Come on Annie; just let the doc get yer blood. Then it'll be over." Daryl said.

Antoinette glared at him. "Fine! Take my blood! I get sick; it's on the blood of you, cretins!"

"French?" the doctor asked softly, getting ready by putting the tap/arm wrap thingy on Annie's arm. And then, he put the needle in her arm, taking her blood. Antoinette cursed at him lowly under her breath and in her mind.

"Hells yes she is, she's a spitfire she is." Daryl chuckled lowly but he was watching her.

Once he had taken her blood, Annie stood up a little shaky and Daryl just raised an eyebrow. She cursed him in French. Jenner was surprised but understood. And then, he brought them to the kitchen….

Annie sat beside Daryl and T-Dog. Dale was handing out wine and Lori was gladly taking it. Everyone was in a better mood. Dale was saying how Carl should get to try some wine.

Everyone looked to Annie to confirm that it was true. Did the French let their children try wine at young ages? She nodded, "I've been drinking wine since I was 4 years old! And I'm perfectly healthy!" She giggled as she sipped on her wine. "Let the boy try some! Come on, it won't hurt!" She urged.

Rick agreed with Antoinette. He convulsed Lori who finally gave him. Dale laughed and T-Dog cheered. Antoinette looked over her shoulder at Daryl who just smiled, just a little. He was laughing. She smiled brightly back as she sipped on her what, 4th glass of wine? Carl tried some looking brightly. As soon as it touched his tongue, he put it back on the table, "Ewww!"

Everyone laughed.

"That's my boy, that's my boy." Lori said. "Good boy."

"That tastes nasty!" Carl had a funny face because it really was gross.

Annie raised an eyebrow. "You're treating him like a dog, he's a boy! And in France—"

"Well, we're not in France." Lori said glaring.

Annie shrugged as she relaxed. Shane told Carl to stick with his soda pop which the boy agreed with.

Glenn was glazing at a bottle of wine in his own hand. "Not you Glenn!" Daryl said, causing Annie to look up.

"Why?" Glenn asked.

"Keep drinking, little man. I want to see how red your face can get." Daryl said pouring Shane some more.

Antoinette raised her glass, "I second that!"

And then, Rick was going on how they needed to thank their host. Daryl gave her a look that said he was winning. Annie just laughed but everyone cheered. Annie knew she was getting drunk. She grabbed a whole bottle of wine because she was done her glass. And why shouldn't she get drunk? She lived with too many demons.

And then, their good mood was over.

"So when are you gonna tell us what happened here, doc?" Shane asked.

So now they were talking about what had happened. Annie was sick to her stomach, couldn't believe it but she did. She understood. She opened the bottle and took a big drink. Daryl was watching her.

"Dude, you are such a buzz kill, man." Glenn said as he began to walk away.

Antoinette was stumbling beside her friends. She wasn't drunk but she was getting there. She cuddled the bottle in her arms as she followed Jenner. She listened to most of it, but not all of it. She was annoyed to find out that they only had couches. But, whatever. She had been sleeping on the ground for the past few weeks. It also seemed that there weren't a lot of rooms since everyone claimed one. Daryl grabbed onto her hand, stopping her. "What?" She asked.

"Wanna share a room, girly? Yer drunk and I don't want you around some of the other guys." Daryl said.

And she nodded, agreeing. She stopped though when she heard, "IF you shower, go easy on the HOT water."

And now she had another reason to part-y.

.

.

.

.

Antoinette stood under the hot spray of the water, touched it as it began to run down her body. She smiled at the feeling and made a quiet noise of pleasure. What she didn't know was that somebody was watching her. She ran her hands over her stomach and hips. Even over her breasts to feel the clean skin. The person's eyes followed her hands as she touched her body.

And then, the person stripped down. It was Daryl.

Both he and Antoinette were drunk. He got into the shower and she looked over at him, shocked. She blushed but he just smiled at her. And with that, he kissed her….and they did in fact end up having sex in the shower.

Daryl and Antoinette woke to find themselves in their tiny room on their tiny loveseat. She was cuddled up on his chest, and had the blanket covering her bottom half. She also figured out she was naked on top of a naked Daryl. Her cheeks turned bright red as she opened her eyes. "D-Daryl?" she whispered.

Daryl grunted. "What?"

"Did we…?"

"Shit— I think we did…"

They fell quiet. However, it wasn't unwelcomed. "Where does this put us?" She asked him quietly.

"Where do you want this to put us?" Daryl asked.

Annie thought, "I don't know."

"Me either." He admitted.

So the two of them got up, or at least, Annie did who ended up getting dressed her back facing him. Daryl didn't mean to make it seem like he was peeking but he did. He looked at her body again as he quickly got dressed himself. To say the least, it was awkward.

Oh well…
