~Aaliyah's pov~

It was dark now, and we reached the farm safely. We walked up to a house that was lit up. Glenn was holding a gun. We saw blood drops on the brick steps of the home. "Uh- so do we ring the bell? It looks like people live here." Glenn said looking at the house. 

"We're past this kind of stuff aren't we? Having to be considerate." T-dog said as we walked up the steps. "Did you close the gate up the road when you drove in?" We heard a voice. I looked over to see a woman sitting on a chair, her knees up to her chest and her arms resting on them. "Uh-- hi. Yes. We closed it." Glenn said. 

The woman stood up. "We did the latch and everything. "Hello. Nice to see you again. We met before briefly." Glenn said as the woman walked up to us. She looked at T-Dogs arm. "Look, we came to help. There anything we can do?" He asked, he noticed she was looking at his arm. "It's not a bite, i cut myself pretty bad though." He said looking at her. 

"We'll have it looked at, i'll tell them you're here." She said walking closer and opening the door for us. We walked in, Glenn gave her the painkillers and antibiotics just in case Carl needed some. We walked in the room where Carl was laying in bed, "Hey." Glenn said. "Hey." Rick said. "Um- We're here okay?" Glenn asked. "Thank you." Lori said. "What ever you need." T-Dog said. 

I walked over to Rick and Lori and i held their hands. Lori gave me a sad smile with tears in her eyes. Rick looked at our hands. "Is he going to be okay?" I asked looking at the white patch on his stomach, it was stained with blood. "Yes honey." Lori said looking at me. Rick nodded looking at me. Not speaking though. He also had a patch right in the middle of his arm. "This your daughter too..?" The older man asked.

"No, this is Aaliyah. She's part of our group." Lori said. "I'm Hershel, It's nice to meet you." He said looking at me. "it's nice to meet you too," I said softly as i looked at him. I looked back at Carl and swallowed the lump in my throat. "Why don't you go get something to eat?" Rick asked looking at me. I looked at him. "He'll be alright, Go ahead." He said nodding as they let go, Rick put a hand on my back and i nodded. 

I walked out of the room. The woman came out with some sandwiches and something to drink. She placed them down in front of us while another woman took care of T-Dog. "What's your name?" She asked placing the plate in front of me. "Aaliyah Dixon," I said looking at her. She gave me a small smile. "I'm Maggie Greene. The woman helping your friend, her name is Patricia." She said looking at me. 

I gave her a soft smile. "If you two need anything else, tell me" She said. We nodded. "Thank you," Glenn and I said. She nodded and walked out. We ate and I ended up falling asleep on the couch.

~The next day~

The rest ended up coming to the camp. We had to give up our guns. Daryl ended up going back to the woods, looking for Sophia. I stayed at the farm. "Hey," Lori said walking up to me. I looked at her. "Hi," I said looking at her. "We're planning on cooking a dinner for Hershel." She said as she stood in front of me. 

"You wanna help us set up the table?" She asked. I nodded. "Sure," I said softly. I followed her to the house to see Maggie, Carol, Beth-Maggie's sister-, Patricia and Jim. I started setting up the table and ended up helping the rest cook too and we heard a gunshot outside. From inside the camp.  

We all ran outside, along with Hershel. "Rick!" Lori called out as we ran out of the house. "What on earth's going on out here!" Hershel called out as we reached over to Dale and Andrea. She was holding a gun. We looked to the field to see Rick, Shane, Glenn and T-dog. I was able to see that they were holding up Daryl, Glenn had his crossbow. I shook my head, Daryl's head was bowed down and he wasn't even walking on his own. 

"No." I said and ran. "Aaliyah!" Lori called out. Dale and Andrea ran too. I ran up to them and saw Daryl wasn't awake, He had mud and dirt on him. He was hurt, His face was half covered in blood. "Oh my god, Oh my god is he dead?!" Andrea asked catching up to them too. "Unconscious. You just grazed him." Rick said. I looked at him scared. "He's okay. He's okay." Rick said looking at me and nodding. 

"Look at him. what the hell happened?! He's wearing ears!" Glenn said looking at him. I looked at the ears confused. Rick ripped them off. "We keep this to ourselves." he said and hid them. "Guys, isn't this Sophia's?" T-dog asked. We looked back to see him holding up her doll. 

~~

Hershel patched him up, Lori was with me, outside of the room. Waiting with me. Rick opened the door and i got up from the chair and looked at him. "He's awake, go on." Shane said looking at me. Rick put a hand on my shoulder. I walked in the room to see him laying down, holding a cloth to his head. Hershel looked at me and nodded. "Thank you." i said looking at him. He nodded and walked out. 

I saw the scars on his back that dad gave him. I had some too but they weren't as bad as Merle or Daryl. I had less because Daryl stopped him from hurting me. Merle left us with our dad. I got on the other side of the bed and looked at him, Sitting with my legs crossed. He looked at me. "Don't give me that damn look... I'm fine." He said looking at me. 

"You have more.." i said looking at him. "More what." He said looking at me. "on your back.." I said biting my lip the slightest. "oh.. Yeah. I know." He said looking at me. He had some on his chest and his stomach too. I kept looking at him. "You have them too. Why you givin' me that look for." He said looking at me. 

I shook my head. "I've never seen them.." I said putting my knees up up to my chest and hugging them. "Tried to keep it that way." He said looking at me. "Are you okay though..?" I asked looking at him. He nodded. "I'm alright. Got stitches for both." he said. "both?" I asked. He moved the blanket down a bit to reveal a patch on his side. 

"What happened there?" i asked. "Arrow." He said. I nodded a bit and he covered himself back up. "Go get something to eat. I'm fine," he said. I nodded a bit and got out of bed. "Do you want me to bring you anything?" I asked. "You eat first," He said looking at me. "okay," i said softly. 

he nodded and turned his head, his back facing me. I left him alone and headed to the kitchen to finish helping them out.
