"Be Good"
THE OUTBREAK
….
Beth and Daryl watched their television with the breaking news of the dead rising. They both were too shocked to even talk to each other. Seeing people screaming in horror, dead bodies coming back to devour the living. Daryl snapped out of it and immediately went back to his and Beth's bedroom. He started to pack their bags with clothes and and personal photos from the wedding. He came back out to where Beth was, who was still watching the television.
"Beth," he called out to her.
She turned around and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"We need to leave." He told her.
"Where can we go? Atlanta looks like it's going down hill. There saying that there are supplies and safe houses in the city."
"We're not going into the city. We're going away from it." He said going into the kitchen to get food for their evacuation.
"Where are we going Daryl?" She asked walking up to him.
"We're going into the mountains. Surly those things can't be there since it's so far from the city." He said, packing the last box of food.
He looked at her and saw tears coming out of her eyes.
Daryl dropped the bags with their clothes and food and hugged Beth. Once they released the embrace, Beth asked him,
"What about our families?"
"Merle can take care of himself and your family is living on the farm Beth. It's far away from the city." Daryl stated.
"Could we go to the farm?" Beth asked him.
By that time, Daryl found his crossbow and made sure he had enough bolts.
"Beth, I know that you want to go there, but I think the mountains would be safer. If that goes down hill, I promise that we'll go to the farm."
"Okay." Beth agreed, taking a bag from Daryl.
He followed her towards the front door of their log cabin.
"This is our home." She said with her voice starting to shake.
"I may have built this, but my home will always be with you and the baby." He said putting a hand on her stomach.
She put her hand on top of his. After the news, she completely forgot about the baby.
"Daryl, what if something happens to the baby."
"I guess we're just gonna have to deal with one thing at a time. First is your safety. Come on." He said to her, taking her hand and walking out the door.
She looked around the cabin one more time and then, she shut the door. Their first home together was done, but their future was still happening. She looked at Daryl, who was now on his motorcycle.
"Hop on." He gestured towards her.
She hoped on the back of the motorcycle and wrapped her arms around his waist. Daryl started the motorcycle and took off. They made their way to the mountains.
AN: I'm so sorry for the short chapters. I want them to be longer, but this story is only Beth and Daryl's points of view. It won't have Rick's or anyone else's. The next chapter will deal with the rest of the group. Tell me what you want to see happen. I love doing AUs like this.
