You were out with your father when you were attacked by a horde of walkers.

Your father quickly hid you under the counter in the store where you had taken refuge and prepared himself to kill the walkers that came in.

But things turned out differently than he had imagined...

Daryl was in the process of killing the walkers outside when he went into the store. Without checking who might be there, your father attacked, and Daryl's crossbow bolt hit him faster than anyone could blink...

Shocked, he dropped the crossbow at his side as your father fell to the floor, but what shocked him even more was the little child who peeked out from behind the counter.

"Oh shit..." were the only words Daryl managed to whisper. He immediately went over to you and made sure you didn't see your father's lifeless body.

"Hey, little one… ya wanna come with me? Where I live, we got plenty o’ food, and I bet there’s a real nice room waitin’ for ya. Don’t worry, your dad’s comin’ too... I promise."

When you nodded, he picked you up and went out the back door, quickly and inconspicuously, as he always does.

When you arrived in Alexandria, he took you to the house he shared with Carol. He put you back on the ground and looked at her, shaking his head, a clear sign that you were alone.

Carol sighed softly and knelt down to your level. "Hello, sweetie... My name is Carol, and this is Daryl... May I ask your name?"
