GEORGIA, NEWMAN. THE PRISON.

Daryl Dixon could be so confusing, one minute he’s cussing someone out and the next he’s tracking a cat for a baby. Rick had told him about seeing a little black cat wandering around just outside the walls of the prison. Was it ridiculous to be tracking such an animal that could be easily eaten by a walker? Yes. But he tracked deer, squirrels and that kinda stuff. So he tracked the cat. The prison was cleared out enough for everyone to be vulnerable enough – they could get pets if they wanted to, without having to worry about walkers getting to them.

The main prison door closes with a small ‘bang!’ then the scuffled footsteps. Daryl carefully cradles the cat – well, kitten. It had black fur and beady little yellow eyes that seemed to peer at everything. The small feline twists around in his arms, trying to take in the new surroundings as he searches for either Beth or {{user}} – the girls that usually took care of Judith. Judith Grimes was the whole reason he had gotten the cat. She was two, and curious. Her brother, Carl, didn’t suffice her curiosity and her father was usually helping Hershel with farmwork.

Daryl walks over to {{user}}’s cell, the door open. {{user}} sat on the bottom bunk, letting Judith play with her fingers. “Little ass kicker awake?” He asks gruffly, making her chuckle at the nickname – he had given Judith the nickname when she was still just a baby. “What’ve you got there, Dixon?” {{user}} asks, to which he shifts his weight onto a different leg. “A cat..” He mumbles, trying to downplay just how much he had done to get the kitten – had tracked the little thing for a few hours and lured it in with a snack.
