A/N: i just want to let you know that i am going to make daryl as awkward as he is played by norman. "daryl isn't one to just rip his shirt off and push you against a tree" -norman reedus. beth will be the one that does most of the moves.

Beth and Daryl sprint through the forest until they were far enough from the prison that they couldn't hear anymore of the screams. Both were panting and Beth took a moment to cry, "Who killed my daddy?" she looked to Daryl with pain and tears in hereyes.

"It was the Governer... Rick tried to get to him before he did it. M'sorry." Daryl averted his eyes to theground letting his eyes tear up before blinking them away. "We need t' keep movin'." He turned on his heel and kept walking. Beth trailed slowly
behind Darylwith her head hanging low. Daryl constantly looked behind him to see if she was still behind him.

"We need to look for Maggie and the others. We need to look." Beth squeaked out wiping more tears and straightening herself up. Daryl grunted as he was looking at the ground looking for tracks from the others. They got to a dirt road that had footprintsgoing
one way and none the other. Beth perked up, "Is that them?" Daryl examined the footprints closely.

"It looks like walkers based on the dragging of feet, we should go the other way" Daryl nodded the other way standing up. Beth turned her head to the side looking at the prints still. "Maybe they are injured, we could catch up to them still." Daryl shookhishead,
"No" he continued on the other way ignoring Beth's cries. She soon decided that she didn't want to go alone so she quickly followed afterDaryl.

It had been a couple hours before thesun had started to set. Daryl failed to find shelterso they just set up in an open dirt space in the woods. Daryl dug asmall hole starting a fire and cooking squirrel. Beth looked at the burnt squirrel inher

hands with a disgusted look on her face. Daryl looked at her questioningly, "Ain"t ya gon' eat that?" he said pointing toher squirrel. She shrugged and took a bite of the burnt animal and held back a gag reflex.

Daryl huffed under his breath, "Fuckin' princess." Beth huffed and finished her squirrel because she didn't want Daryl judging her even more then how he already was. "I can take first watch if you want, Daryl." Beth offered to her savior. Daryl shookhis
/head sending her a grunt 'uh-huh'. Beth laid on the ground using her pack as a pillow and using an extra shirt for a makeshift blanket. Beth cried herself to sleep that night and left Daryl to his thoughts.

The next morning Beth jolted up to the sound of leaves shuffling about, trying to fixate her vision to what was creating the sound. A walker soon jumped on her and she cried for helptrying to reach for her knife in her pocket. The walkerwas inches
/away from her face chomping it's teeth together trying to nab at her. Beth soon saw Daryl pull the walker off of her and stabbed it in the eye. Beth was panting heavily with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Get up, 'mere." Daryl turned on his heel grabbing his backpack. Beth got up slowly putting the dirty makeshift blanket into her pack getting up.

"I'm sorry, I-I couldn't get 'im off." Beth mumbled to Daryl thinking he could hear her. She looked up at Daryl, "Have you been out looking for them? Have you seen the bus? Any of the children?" Beth started to bombard Daryl with questions fasterthan
/a cheetah attacking its prey.

"Hush up, will ya?" Daryl snarled at Beth putting up a finger to silence her and started walking again. "And no, I haven't seen the bus or the chillen." Daryl was incredibly frustrated with Beth. Why didn't he get stuck out here with someone else?
/Anyone would've been better, Beth didn't know how to do anything.

For hours, the couple descended into the forest until they got up to a broken down and ugly house. Beth lightened up when she saw the house and smiled, "We got shelter!" Beth went to hurry inside, but she was pulled back by a harsh tug at her leftwrist,
/her scarred wrist. Beth winced turning around, "What is it?" Daryl looked at her as of she were stupid.

"Ya jus'' don't go runnin' to the first thang ye see." Daryl scolded at the young and dumb blonde in front of him. Beth felt her cheek fire up and her nose flared, "It's somethang, ain't it!? Don't look at me like I'm a dead girl waitin' to

be killed by a hoard of walkers or somethin'!" Beth was incredibly irritated at the archer in front of her. Daryl let her goand she stormed towards the house hoping nothing would get her.

"It's safe, Daryl." Beth called to him with menace.
