Chapter 1

Looking back at the prison as it was burning, trying to find Rick with his eyes, looking down at the Beth which he assumed she looking for Maggie, Judith and Carl. She looked straight back at him with her worrying eyes. He just grabbed the top of her arm and dragged her away as he saw a herd of walkers coming towards them. "Run" he screamed at her.

It felt like he was running for miles, he needed to catch his breath before starting again, he just stopped in the middle of woods. Bending over resting his hands on his knees catching his breath slowly.

"We need to go back, we need to save them" She tried to shout while catching her breath also. He looked up at her feeling sorry for her. She's lost everything now. Home, Family and the one person she relied on the most her father.

"Are ya stupid?" He looked straight in her eyes with anger. "I'm guessin you didn't see what just happened?" His words were harsh and cold. He saw the tears roll down her cheeks. He just looks down at his feet. Feeling like utter shit for what he just said to her. But he wouldn't saying anything to her, definitely not an apology.

Beth just kneeled on her knees covering her hands over her face so Daryl wouldn't see all the tears she was making, all she wanted to know if Maggie was okay as she was the family she had left in the world. She'll be with Glenn she thought as she felt the tears coming more now.

"Grab you're shit, we need to find somewhere safe to camp" he said picking his crossbow up off the floor and swinging over his head. Beth got up from her knees picked up her bags off the ground and started following him.

Finally he settled on a spot to rest for the night, she was holding out a bottle of water for him that she got out of her bag. He just snatched it out of her small hands and took a big mouthful out of the bottle. She just looked at him "Thank you Beth" with rolling her eyes.

Daryl got up from where he was sitting, walking over to a tree and leaning on it. "Get some rest" Not even looking at her "I'll keep watch" Turning his back away from her.

"You think I can just sleep like this?" Looking around "Nothing to keep me warm, no tent?" He turned to face he looked angry, he walked towards her. "I'm cold Daryl" She whispered.

"If the cold bothers you that fuckin much, make a damn fire!" He raised his voice out of frustration. She got up and started digging a hole in to the ground, low enough so walkers couldn't see the smoke or the flames. she gathered some little bit of wood, grass and leaves. Daryl turned and could see she was struggling to make a fire out of two pieces flint, banging them together. He chuckled to himself and made whistle noise to get her attention.

She looked over at him and blushed a little thinking was she doing it all wrong? or was he just gonna have a go at her again. She just looked at him, he throw some thing at her, she picked the thing up that was by her foot and smiled.

A lighter.

She sat near the fire watching the flames, thinking about what had happened to the prison and her father. Making her eyes fill with tears, how did it all come to this? losing everyone she loved and cared about. She looked over Daryl and his back was facing her again. She felt so alone sat her by herself. What was the point of him saving her? just to sit here and act like they don't know each other. It was utter bullshit!

Daryl looked round and Beth was sleeping by the fire. He smiled to himself, she looked really peaceful. She looked really beautiful laying their on her side, all he wanted to do was stroke the loose hair that was falling down to her face and tuck it by her ear. Why was he thinking like this he thought to himself. He's never looked at her in that way before. Why now?

Daryl walked up too her and kicked her boot to wake her, he watched Beth shoot right up. She looked straight at him "We gotta get movin" He turned round and started packing stuff up. "Come on get up" He snapped at her.

"Y' know you don't actually have to speak to like that?" She paused as grabbed bottle of water and took a mouthful. Taking the bottle away from her mouth "I'm not a child Y' know"

"Fuck sake" he yelled "Well grow up and do as I say?" He walked towards her and grabbed her by the arm. "Do you wanna get killed?" Shaking her a little. He looked in to her eyes and he could see how he was scaring her. He let go of her arm.

"I'm sorry" He couldn't believe what he just said, he's never said sorry for anything or to anyone. What is this girl doing to him? "I shouldn't of done that"

She nodded her head and started rubbing her arm better. "Daryl you don't need to do this" She looked down to her feet "It's not your fault what happened" She smiled "I know their alive and I know we can find them"

Daryl just looked at her "Y' saw the prison burning down, people dying?" He was getting angry "Could have been any of them Beth, Maggie? Glenn? Rick?" He shouting now "but we ran because that's what you do to survive"

Beth could feel her tears coming again, she tried so hard to cry in front of Daryl. "Yes, we ran but they could of run too and they could be looking for us?" Tear were falling now "My sister is out their some where and I'll find her" Turned away from him, she picked up her stuff from the ground and starting to walk away. She turned back round to face him "If you're not going to help me find them, I'll do it on my own" as she was about to walk off. They both heard groaning and moaning from walkers.

Daryl turned around looking back and saw a herd of walker coming towards them. He couldn't fight that amount by himself and with only a few arrows left. He walked towards his stuff picking it up from the ground. "Run Beth" She looked behind him saw the walkers. "Now!" he shouted.
