The next morning I woke when the sun was already high up in the sky and the heat in the tent was stifling. Guess I’d needed last night more than I’d realised. I threw on some jeans, t-shirt and boots, not bothering with a bra, I just needed to get out into the fresh air. “Morning, sleepy head!” Anna cheerfully greeted me. I grunted a response as I lit a cig and sat down “why did you let me sleep so long?” I asked holding my head in my hands as I tried to wake up fully. “Because I thought you could do with the rest.” She smiled. “Hey I was thinking....” I said raising my head and letting my arms fall to my lap “how about we go foraging today... you know start to contribute to the group?” “Well it’s not like we have any other useful skills apart from killing zombies and there seems to be a shortage of those....yer alright then.” She agreed standing up and grabbing her bag.
We decided it was probably be best to run the idea by someone of the camp first and seeing as Dale was the first person we saw, standing iconically on the roof of the RV, we decided he was as good as any person to ask. “Hey, Dale!” I shouted up to him shielding my eyes from the sun. “Oh hey girls.” He said smiling at us. “What can I do for you?” “Actually Dale we wanted to ask about something we could do for you... well the group...” I said returning his smile “you see we’re not very good at cleaning or anything like that but we know how to forage for stuff, like what plants you can eat and which ones are poisonous.” By this time we had caught the attention of Amy, Laurie and Shane. “So we were wondering if you’d like us to do that.” I finished waiting for an answer. “Well I don’t see why not, lord knows we could always use more food. What do you think Shane?” Dale said looking to Shane for his thoughts. “Yer, sounds good to me as long as we don’t go too far from camp.... we’ll even give you a hand, right?” Shane said his glance shifting from Dale to Laurie. “Well I’m up for it! It will give me something to do till Andrea get’s back.” Amy said. “Why where’s Andrea gone?” I asked Amy. “She’s gone to the city with Glenn, Merle and some others. It’s nothing to worry about.” Shane stated “Well that’s settled then.” Laurie said meeting Shane’s gaze. And so with that we set off with Dale waving us off “have a good time girls!” he called to us as we left. “We will!” I called back to him. I liked Dale, he kind of reminded me of the grandfather that everyone should have.
We had decided that it would be better to break off into smaller groups to cover more area, so me and Anna went off on our own. We’d just found some nice blueberries and were gathering them when we heard some movement. We headed towards the sound, unclipping our knifes from the sheathes on our belts, thinking it was a walker or something but instead we ended up seeing Shane and Laurie on the ground... in the doggie position. “Oh my god.” I hissed to Anna trying not to giggle too loud. “I know right.” She hissed back covering her mouth with her hand to muffle her own laughter. “You think anyone knows?” I asked “I’m guessing not seeing as no one has mentioned anything.” She replied. “Come on then. Let’s leave them to it. I don’t really want the rep of a voyeur.” I said dragging her back to the blueberries. We moved on a little while later and found some oyster mushrooms. “Jackpot!” I exclaimed when I spotted them. Right before an arrow went whizzing past and buried it’s self it the tree to our right. “Thanks for scaring the food away.” Came Daryl’s voice as he stepped from out from behind a tree. “Oh crap sorry, I didn’t realise...” I started “no you didn’t think!” Daryl said pointing his finger to his head. “Look, I didn’t know you were out hunting today did I?” I snapped walking over to him, I was really starting to get sick of this attitude he had, plus it was the second time he’d upset me. “Now I don’t know about you but I’m not bloody psychic so how the hell was I supposed to know that you were out here, ay?” my scouse accent had started to come out more now, and Daryl started to walk backwards as I continued closing in on him. “Well come on! Tell me how! No I didn’t think you’d have an answer for that.” I said turning away from him “oh and one more thing before you go back to your hunting...” I said walking over to the tree, retrieving the arrow and walking back to him. “My fucking tits...” I said shoving the arrow to his chest “are fucking perfect!” and with that I walked away from him, took Anna, who was creased up with laughter, by the arm and left to find food elsewhere.
Anna was still giggling when we found a different patch of oyster mushrooms. “You missus, are a fucking legend!” she said between giggles and huge grin plastered on her face. “Well I lost my temper is all, I mean he really does take the piss.” I said grinning myself “and just because he’s good looking doesn’t mean I’m going to let him get away with talking to me like crap.” “Still...” she said “that line...” giving herself another fit of laughter as she remembered. “Well they are!” I said joining her in the laughter. Sooner than we realised the sun had started to set. “We’d best start heading back. Otherwise I’m going to end up eating all our berries before anyone else gets some.” I joked. We took our time heading back talking about the others at the camp while we walked. “I quite like Amy... she seems hippy-ish and sweet.” I said. “Yer but her sister seems a bit snotty don’t you think.” Anna said eating another berry. “Yer kind of.” I agreed. “But Dale’s lovely.” “Yer.” She said “and Glenn too.” “Oh of course.” I said “if it weren’t for him we wouldn’t be here.” Anna nodded in agreement. “Then there’s Merle...” I said shooting her a sideways glance. “Who’s a bit of a wanker but then again he is a redneck.” “But so is Daryl.” She countered. “Yer and he can be a wanker too.” I said with a laugh. “I don’t like that Ed guy...” she said her face full of concern. “I’ve heard he beats up Carol.” “Well if that’s the case then we’ll just have to step in next time it happens.” I said mirroring her concern. And then we were back at the camp.
“Hey guys...” I said when we reached the fire where Glenn, Shane, Laurie and some others where. “Managed to find a bunch of stuff, including oyster mushrooms and there’s still plenty of stuff out there. How’d the run go?” I asked looking at Glenn. “Not good, we had to leave Merle behind.” He said switching his gaze to Anna as he mentioned Merle. “Huh... what do you mean behind?” Anna said confused. It was T-dog who spoke up. “He was firing shots off the roof all coked up so the new guy handcuffed him to a pipe but I dropped the key...” he looked ashamed of himself but started up again “but I managed to chain the door so no walkers could get to him.” “Huh so Merle’s trapped on a roof for a night... figures.” she said shrugging “well good luck explaining that to Daryl.” She added with a mischievous grin. “So who’s the new guy?” I asked looking down at him; he was quite slim and was wearing a blue shirt and was close to Carl and Laurie. “Hi I’m Rick grimes.” He said “Laurie’s husband.” “But I thought...” Anna had begun before I elbowed her in the rib. “Well nice to meet you Rick grimes.” I butted in shaking his hand. “I’m Bex and that’s Anna. Well guys we’re shattered so we’ll see you tomorrow.” And I quickly dragged Anna back to our tents.
“So that’s her husband.” Anna hissed once we’d reached the safety of our tent. It hadn’t just been an excuse we were both really tired and stuffed full of berries. “It would appear so... yes.” I said already getting changed into my nightwear. “And Daryl’s gonna be pissed when he finds out that they left Merle on a roof... especially considering he’s probably not in the best of moods anyways after you had a go at him this afternoon...” Anna said muffed by her changing her top for bed. “Yer...” I said thinking “maybe we should just stay out of the way of that face off in the morning.” Anna grinned and climbed into bed, as did I. “too bad I’ll have to find a new fuck buddy.” Anna said yawning. I just gave a giggle and turned over. And pretty soon it was the next day.
