"Beth we have to go. Now!" Daryl had grabbed her and was pulling her by the arm. Daryl had watched Maggie run off from her to find Glenn and he had debated only to swiftly decided he couldn't leave Beth alone not here after she had Been through so much just today. She was pulling against him trying to wait for her sister. He spun around looking at her young pretty face "Beth I know that there a bunch of people who we love here in a bunch of danger and I know you just lost someone but I need to get you out of here alive do you understand? I promised your father I would keep you safe and I will. Now run. we will find the others later." She finally started to follow him and they ran and ran Daryl killing walkers with one hand her doing the same them holding on to each other for dear damn life. They exited the prison from a hole in the fence Beth stopped but Daryl kept pulling her forward saying she had to keep going. Don't stop don't look back she was sobbing and he could tell but he just held on to her hand harder. Finally after what felt like ages they stopped to catch their breath. Once Daryl let go of her hand Beth clasped to the forest ground, the leaves around her crunching. Daryl looked around checking for walkers drawn by the noise. He walked up beside her, she wasn't crying anymore she was just staring into space like she couldn't move anymore. He touched her shoulder lightly, she didn't move. He sat beside her figured he'd give her a minute. They had been sitting for a bit when he heard the familiar groans and footsteps that singled the time for them to move again.
"Let's go. Walkers." he whispered in to her ear. She didn't move and he went to help her up she pulled back.
"Please don't make me go. I can't do this anymore. Im tired my family is gone. I have no one." She didn't have any emotion in her voice and she didn't bother to be quite. The walkers were getting closer and Daryl was starting to panic. He grabbed her tiny face in his rough dirty hands "look at me Beth Greene you have me and i need you. Maggie is out there and she needs you there is a heard and it's coming right for us I need you to get the fuck up and run with me. Do you understand?" Beth got up slowly she didn't quite understand what made her but she knew in her heart she couldn't leave someone alone out here. She got up and took his hand again sprinting from the heard. They ran until they couldn't anymore then they walked. For some reason beth felt that if she let go of his hand she might clasp again, Daryl was the only thing that was keeping her up and going the only thing keeping her alive right now so she held on to him with a fierceness that she didn't think she had anymore. This morning had emotional destroyed her. She couldn't help the tears that streamed down her face, they had been coming on and off all day. Finally Daryl stopped and she looked up to see why, in front of them sat a small cabin. Beth looked around they had been walking or run for most of the day trying to out run the governors people and the walkers but she hadn't really payed attention to when the sun had started to set.
"Let's stay here. Here's better than outside and I need to sleep. I really need this day to end." Daryl nodded at Beth's statement and walked up the rickety stairs to knock on the door. As soon as the sound of his knuckles hit the door they heard the snarls that escaped from inside. Daryl looked at Beth and prayed he could count on her right now he nodded at the blonde and she nodded back. Daryl opened the door and three walkers poured out. Beth met the first of the walkers on the stairs and stabbed him in the head, he walked up behind the other two and buried the hilt of his bolts in the back of the other two skulls. When the stair had been cleared of the bodies they walked in to the cabin knifes raised incase any others were lingering behind closed doors. Once the cabin was cleared they scowered for food or clean clothes anything that they could find that would help them survive.
