~Aaliyah's Pov~

It's been about a day now, Daryl seemed to be okay, he finally was out of his tent and Carl also was up. They were both okay by the looks of it. But Glenn just told us that there were walkers in the barn. "That explains why he didn't want us to set up camp here." i said. Carl looked at me and nodded. "yeah," he said looking at me.

"Wait where are we going again?" Carl asked as we walked. "To see the horses." I said. "Why?" he asked. "Why not? You don't like horses?" I asked as we reached the stables. "I never said that," He said as i climbed the bars/railing and jumped over. "I can't do that." He said. "I know," I said. He smiled looking at me. I smiled but i didn't turn around. I walked to the horse and pet her.

I guided her towards Carl and he pet the horse smiling. I smiled at him. "I like horses," I said looking at the horse and petting it's cheek/face. "Me too." He said smiling. "Have you ever been on a horse before?" I asked looking at him. He shook his head. "No, Have you?" He asked. "Once," I said nodding as i looked at him. He looked at me. "My friend's dad had a farm, We would go up there some times." I said looking at him.

"Cool," he said. I smiled and nodded. "Carl!" We looked over to see Lori looking at him. "We should go before she gets mad." He said looking at me. I smiled and climbed the fence and hopped off to the other side. "So your dad gave you his hat?" I asked as we walked. He nodded. "I told him that we were both shot, and we had that in common. He gave me his hat." He said. "Because you were shot? That seems like a reward," i said looking at him confused.

"It does but i don't know. Maybe he wanted to get rid of it." He said. I shrugged. "Maybe" I said as we walked to her. "Hey.. Do you think Sophia's still alive..?" He asked. I stayed quiet for a bit. "I don't know.. Do you?" I asked looking at him. "Yes, but Shane wants to call off the search for her." He said. "really?" I asked looking at him. He nodded. "Yeah. it's making me mad." He said.

"Talk to him, i think he'll listen to you." I said looking at him. "I will," He said as we reached Lori, she was cutting up carrots. "What were you two doing?" She asked. "Looking at the horse," I said looking at her. She nodded looking back down.

~Later on that same day~

Shane ended up breaking the locks and the chains from the barn and walkers started coming out, the group took them down and i was with Maggie and Hershel. Earlier, Dale told us that Hershel thought the walkers were sick people so the Greene family took this hard, seeing their loved ones being gunned down.

But the last walker to come out was Sophia.. She was a walker, she was bit and she turned. Rick had to put her down. The rest walked away but i stayed in the same position, looking at Sophia on the ground. I didn't know what to feel. I was confused, I didn't know if they knew that she was in there. Or when she even died. They must have found her before we came here.

Daryl came to me and turned me around. "Cmon." he said pulling me. I walked and he kept his hand on my shoulder. He looked at me as we walked but i was still confused. I didn't know what to say. I looked back to see Andrea covering her body with a blanket. "don't." Daryl said putting a hand on my head and making me look the other way.

"Did they- know she was in there?" I asked swallowing the lump in my throat. "They didn't even know her face. I don't think they knew." He said looking at me. I looked down. "get in there." He said pointing at the tent with his crossbow. "I'm goin' with Carol until stay here." He said. I nodded a but and went in the tent. I laid down and put my hands on my forehead.

He looked at me then walked away.

We had the funeral for Beth's mom and brother and Sophia. Right now i was with Daryl, he moved away from everyone. I was up here with him not really doing anything. He was sharpening twigs to make new arrows since he was running out of them. Lori came up to us. "Moving to the suburbs?" She asked as she reached us.

"Listen, Beth is in some kind of catastrophic shock, we need Hershel" She looked at Daryl. "Yeah, So what?" He asked not looking at her, he kept sharpening. "So i need you to run back in town and get him and Rick back" She said bending down to our level. "Your bitch went window shopping." Daryl said. I looked at him. "Daryl." i said looking at him. He was angry, and i get why he was.

"You want him fetch him your self. i got better things to do." He said angry. "What's the matter with you, why would you be so selfish." She asked. Daryl stood up and snapped at her. "Selfish.?" He asked looking at her. I stood up too. "Listen to me Olive Oyl. I was out there looking for that little girl every single day. I took a arrow and a bullet in the process. Don't you tell me about me getting my hands dirty!" he yelled pointing his knife at her.

"You want those two idiots. have a nice ride. I'm done looking for people" He said and sat back down. She stood up and looked at me. "Sorry.." I mouthed shaking my head. She nodded and walked away. I looked at Daryl and stood in front of him. "Look i get it." i said looking at him. He kept looking at me.

"I do. You were looking for her but you have to stop exploding on people. You are not the only one who lost her." I said looking at him. He didn't look up. "Daryl." I said trying to make him look at me. But he didn't. He kept on getting the sticks pointy. I looked at him waiting but he didn't stop, he didn't slow his pace. It was like i wasn't even here, "Okay," I said softly and walked away. I went back to camp and left him alone, knowing that he probably did want to be alone.
