Well I got a lot of requests to make this a full story and I was pretty resistant for a while. But now that I have some ideas where to go with it I'm finally caving in!

It's important however to keep in mind a few things. The original one-shot from my "Drabble Goodness" series titled "A Place for the Night" will be a chapter in this story but it's going to be rewritten quite a bit. There's gonna be a few alterations maybe to the plot and the time gap. You'll see why when we get to it. There's gonna be lots of twists and stuff. So have fun!

Disclaimer: I don't own TWD or the characters within.

Prologue

All the gunfire and screaming all around her could not drown out the despair she was feeling...from the very moment she saw her father decapitated.

She couldn't even focus as she tried to fire and run at the same time.

"Beth! We need to get outta here!"

Her sister, Maggie was dragging her back into the prison where more chaos got underway. They entered the cell where Judith was resting but now she was crying from all the commotion. "Take Judith and go. I haveta get Glenn!"

"Where are we going?!"

"You remember the silo? The one Rick told everyone to go to?"

"I...I...I think so."

"Go out the back tunnel and keep heading straight. You'll see it."

"But, Maggie..."

"Beth! Go! We'll meet you there!"

Beth picked up Judith and was now fighting her way against all the running and panicky people to get to the back of the prison...to the tunnel that led to the back of the prison. But she realized that something was totally wrong when she was about halfway down the hallway. It was too quiet. No one else from the prison seemed to be following her. She realized that she had to go back, find the other children.

But before she could make a move, everything began to shake. Debris was starting to fall. Most of it was coming from the prison end. She realized that if she didn't get herself and Judith to the other end leading outside they could be caved in for good.

It was the fastest she ever had to run. When she got out the other end, she nearly collapsed but managed to drop only to her knees while still holding the baby. She looked back and the prison was now collapsing on itself in a smoldering pile of debris and flames.

The smoke was getting closer. She had to keep running.

Her legs were already in horrible pain and she could spot walkers heading in her direction. She got out her handgun. Beth didn't know how she was going to shoot walkers while holding Judith and running at the same time, but for her sake, she was gonna try.

By some miracle, Beth managed to outrun them. Only firing at a couple that were getting too close. She hoped the chaos of the prison would distract them enough to allow her and Judith to keep moving. As much as every part of her wanted to go back and find the others, she knew that the child had to come first.

The further they got, the more she started to worry. She then made her way up the hill and could spot the silo. It was all coming back to her now.

She made a half jog the rest of the way. All-in-all, it took almost half an hour for her to make her way to the silo. But there was still no time to rest. Beth still had to take caution to make sure the inside of the silo was clear and safe of walkers. When it was she and Judith got in. Then she dropped to her knees again finally able to break down at last.

Judith was crying uncontrollably again.

"Shh...Judith. Judith, it's okay. The others are coming." She kept telling her and herself. "They'll be here soon. We just have to wait. We'll wait as long as we have to."
