Beth ran, her left leg dragging behind her, blood soaking through the hasty bandage she made for herself. She had ignored the pain for hours, but she started to think she couldn't go on. She was so grateful for her years of cross country. Not only had it given her a college scholarship, but it was keeping her alive now.
She looked around at the trees surrounding her. She had ran into the thick Georgia woods outside the cabin she and her boyfriend were staying at. She now realized just how far she could have gone in the few hours she had been running. She felt dizzy and her head started to spin. She noticed the blood steadily trickling out of her arm and looked behind her to see the spots of it, that had dripped behind her leaving a trail. She slid down a tree and used it to keep herself upright as she sat. She watched as the trees blended together and everything faded to black.
Daryl had been out hunting all day. He needed to get his mind off the fact that his no good son of a bitch brother was out of prison in a week. Daryl knew his father was looking for him. He had been for the past two years. He had finally thought he was safe. Away from the pain and drugs and his old life. He thought he would be able just to live his simple life in the woods, but he knew that once Merle was out, he would find Daryl. Make him help deal and run his whole drug mafia type of shit he had going. Daryl hoped he would leave him alone, but he knew that wasn't going to happen. And if he refused, Merle would tell their father exactly where his favorite son was.
Daryl snapped himself out of his heavy thoughts. It had been a slow day hunting and he was starting to get pissed at the idea of going home empty handed. His head whipped around as he heard rustling to his left. He headed in the direction when he saw spots of blood. He looked closer, but saw no animal prints. He began to track the blood, his crossbow aimed and ready, for the human he knew he was looking for. The blood trail started to thin out a bit and Daryl continued on. His heart started to pound in his head as he thought of the possibility of it being Merle.
He quickly dismissed the thought. His brother may be a dumbass, but he wasn't dumb enough to try to escape with a week left. He narrowed his eyes as he saw something out of the corner of his eye. It looked like a girls body. He started to jog to her. Did somebody just dump a body out here? He looked over at the girl. She looked to be in her early twenties with pale white skin and wavy brunette hair that was loosely tied in a ponytail. Nope, Daryl didn't recognize her, but she was bleeding something awful and was sticky with sweat. He bent over her to feel her pulse. It was faint, but it was there.
"Oh shit," He muttered. He quickly scooped the girl up. She was fairly light and he was thankful for that. It seemed like forever but he finally got home and his fingers quickly dialed the number he never thought he would have to again.
"Hey Sasha, you 'member the time I saved your ass at the bar? 'N you said you owed me one? Well I'm calling it in now. Bring all yur stuff. 'N hurry."
He hung up before the stunned Sasha had a chance to say anything and started chewing on his thumb. He quickly started wrapping the girl's bleeding arm and calf with bandage and hoped it would be enough until Sasha got there.
Hope you liked! I know Beth isn't a brunette but that will be changed soon and its not too hard to imagine since she's the only blond Greene baby. :) Thanks for reading! More to come soon :)
