A/N: This chapter is going to deviate from our taken girl and our pissed off bear. We have to know what our other couple is up to. So here we go CARYL. This is going to deviate from the the story of season four in a lot of different ways as you can already tell Merle is still alive and with Beth and the way she is taking is different. Mika and Lizzie's story is going to differ as well.


"Motherfucker." Daryl spat as he heard the sound of yelling and gunshots. He and Carol took off toward the sound. It could be one of their's and in that moment nothing would make him happier than to see either one of his brothers and he knew that Carol was dying to see Carl and Beth. They got close to the railroad tracks and when a single pistol shot was heard somewhere deeper in the woods. "I'll go check it out you go toward the screams." Carol told her man as she quickly kissed him and took off toward the woods.

Tyresse had heard screams when he left the children by the large oak trees. He was praying that he would be able to find some of their original group, mostly his sister and Rick. He knew if the man had survived he would be extremely distort. Tyresse remembered all to well how the man had been shattered after his wife's death. As he reached the sounds of the fighting he realized that it wasn't any of his group but some poor bastard that had been bitten by a group of walkers. Tyresse's heart sank. He heard the small pistol that he had left in the care Mika go off. He started to head back toward the place where he had left the children. Tyresse wasn't paying attention to where he was running when he ran smack into some on. Tyresse immediately stood at the ready to defend himself, he knew all to well the dangers that this new world could hold.

Daryl was ready to hit whoever had ran into him hard enough to almost knock him over. He didn't even have a chance to register who it was or if they were a threat before he found himself in a bone breaking hug. "Daryl you have no clue how happy I am to see you." Before Daryl could respond Carol walked out of the woods with a huge smile and tears streaming down her face. In her arms was Little Ass Kicker. He had remembered finding her car seat full of blood and he and Carol had cried that night together, then he was assaulted by Mika and Lizzie as they bear hugged him on either side. Tyresse walked over and hugged Carol hard and kissed her on the forehead. Tyresse had never been so happy to see them in his life. Daryl patted each of the girls and gently untangled from them and walked over to his woman and took his niece he thought never to see again in his arms and tears slipped out of the hard man's eyes and he pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. Judith rewarded him with a giggle. Tyresse had never been so happy to see two people in all of his life. Carol could help take care of the girls and Daryl could provide more protection while they hunted for the rest of their family and with one of the two greatest trackers that he had ever seen they would find them.

The newly reunited group began to look for a place to make camp as night fell upon them. Daryl scouted a little ahead of the group looking for signs of trouble and a good place to make camp. He found a small clearing and that's where the settled. Daryl began to build a small fire, winter was coming and fast and the temps dropped low when night fell. Everyone sat around the campfire and was telling stories of what they had been through the in the last week since the fall of the prison. Daryl watched as Lizzie secluded herself on a stomp by herself. She seemed really disconnected from the others. The girl had never quite set right with him, but she reminded him so much of Sophia that it broke his heart. Lizzie pulled the knife from her belt, thinking that no one was watching realizing that there was two sets of eyes on her. She quickly stabbed four times and smiled dreamily. Daryl looked over at Carol and they shard a look, he knew in that moment that she had seen it too. Carol and Daryl had talked about Lizzie several times since they had inherited her and her sister from their dead father. "Tyresse why don't you and the girls get some rest. Daryl and I will take first watch L.A here is fighting sleep anyway." Carol said kindly to Tyresse. Tyresse smiled a gratefully at woman. "Come on girls its off to bed." Carol said hugging each of the girls, as they followed Tyresse to the large makeshift tent they had made out of extra clothing.

Daryl got up and went and set by Carol putting his arm around her and kissed her temple then smiled down at Judith and tickled her under her chin. "Did you see Lizzie playing with her knife?" Daryl asked. Carol sighed. "Yes I did and I checked, she killed four baby rabbits Daryl." Daryl's mind went to the rabbit that they had found pinned to the room that Karen had been killed in. He was now glad of the plan he, Merle, Rick, and Carol had came up with saying she had killed Karen and Dave to lure the real killer in to false sense of security then a day latter the Governor had struck. Daryl was beginning to wonder if Lizzie hadn't killed Karen and Dave.


A/N: I hope you all enjoyed the beginning of Caryl's adventure and next chapter will be all Merle and maybe some Beth. Please read review and enjoy.
