"Instantly"

Coda

"I get it now," Beth said.

Beth knew that she would have to die so that Noah could go with the group. She wasn't scared anymore. She knew Noah had to leave with the group to get back to his family.

She felt the scissors slide into her hand and she quickly stabbed them into Dawn's vest. Dawn gave a shriek causing Daryl to go towards Beth, but before he could, Dawn shot Beth in her left leg.

Beth automatically screeched in pain. Daryl quickly grabbed her as she was going down to the floor. Dawn just looked up and said, "No, I didn't mean to...". Daryl was to focus on Beth to even pay attention to Dawn. Rick pulled out his gun and shot Dawn in the head.

Daryl was oblivious to everything around him. He was trying to stop the bleeding from Beth's leg. Beth was in pain. She thought that Dawn would shot her in the head. Judging from what she witnessed with Dawn, she knew she'll take out threats to her.

Daryl saw that the doctor was approaching him and Beth.

"Can you help her?" Daryl asked with sorrowful eyes.

"Yes, carry her to her room down the hall. I'll patch her up." Doctor Stevens said, going to his office to get medical supplies.

Daryl slowly got up looking towards Beth with his hands still on her.

"You good?" Daryl asked her, picking her up gently.

"Yeah," she responded in a mutter. She put her hands around his neck.

Daryl walked towards her room and gently laid her down on the bed. Doctor Stevens came in with a needle and thread. Daryl saw Beth slowly taking off her pants so the doctor would have better access to her wound. Daryl went up and helped her. Beth yelped in pain when her belt went over her wound. Doctor Stevens sterilized the needle and began to stitch Beth's leg. When he was done, he wrapped her leg in gauze. Daryl slowly started to pull up Beth's jeans.

While he was doing so, Stevens said,

"I know your group is ready to head out, but she can't walk on her leg for at least a week. She needs to rest." Doctor Stevens suggested.

"No." Beth piped up and said.

"Beth, you were just shot. You need to get better." Stevens said.

"I'll carry her. She's not staying here." Daryl shouted.

"Fine, but you'll have to carry her for a long time." Stevens said.

"At least she'll be with me and her family. Noah told me that she wants to get out of this place. She'll be in my arms for awhile until she's ready to walk." Daryl replied.

Daryl looked at Beth and she just smiled. He finally had his girl back. His light. His reason to live.

"I'll give you some pain pills before you leave." Stevens said in a mutter.

"Thank you," Beth said.

Once Stevens gave Daryl the pain pills, he picked up Beth and headed out of the hospital. When Daryl was outside, Beth had trouble adjusting to the sun so she buried her head in Daryl's neck. Beth's scent gave Daryl happiness. After a week of looking for her, she was in his arms.

Beth looked up and saw Maggie running towards her screaming her name. Beth unhooked one of her hands from Daryl's neck and put it around Maggie. Tears came from both sisters. All Daryl could do was smile.

Beth was finally home. She was with her family. She was safe. She made it.
