Its been two days since Daryl has left the farm. The Greene's fell back into their normal routine. Waking up, talking, playing cards, and sleeping only to wake up again. Beth was tired of the same old things. She wanted some excitement.

"We're going to play crazy 8's. Wanna play?" Beth's father Hershel asked.

"No thank you."

Beth walked into her room and pulled out one of her favorite books. Gone with the wind. She read this book like a hundred times and it still never got old.

Sometime when she was reading she fell asleep. Beth woke up to the house silent as a mouse. Beth went downstairs on the porch to breathe. It was impossible to get some alone time in this house. Don't get her wrong she loved her family, but spending all day with them everyday gets tiresome.

From a distance she saw four or five men with guns walking straight towards the house. Scared Beth went inside to go tell her dad.

She shook her dad lightly. He stirred and opened his eyes.

"Beth honey, what's wrong?"

"Five men with guns coming straight to us."

Hershel got up and went to the window. Fair enough there were five men in their yard. They did not look friendly.

"Go get your sister and lock yourselves in her room." He ordered.

"What about you?' Beth was scared.

"I'll be fine."

Beth ran to her sisters room and locked the door. The sound of her running into the room must've awakened Maggie because when she turned around to her sister she was sitting up on her bed with a look of confusion written on her face.

"Men with guns in the house." Beth couldn't elaborate or else they would hear her.

Maggie nodded. Beth went over to her sisters bed and sat with her sister. She was shaking and she couldn't stop. She worried for her sisters, fathers, and her life.

They could here footsteps then their father talking.

"I'm sure we can sort this out." They could here is father say.

Moments later she heard a gunshot. She knew he father didn't own a gun. So there was only one possibility. Her father got shot. She let the tears that were threatening to spill fall silently. Her sister must've came to the same conclusion because she was crying as well.

"We need to go." Maggie stated.

"But daddy-" Beth started.

"Would want to leave." Maggie finished.

They waited till they heard the men go into the basement to go downstairs. Beth locked the door to buy them some time. In the living room she saw her father laying on the floor with blood spilling out of his chest. A whole new wave of tears poured down her face. Her dad was dead. She felt a hand on her shoulder and it wasn't Maggie's.

"look what we have here." The man said.

He had black hair and green eyes. Some of his teeth were missing and the remaining were yellow.

The man slapped her in the face, and she saw stars. He then pushed her to the floor. Beth hit her head on the coffee table corner. Her beating was cut short by a knife plunging his skull. Maggie stood before her. Her sister had just killed a man, but if her sister hadn't she'd be dead.

Getting up Beth saw the man had two guns and a knife. Quickly grabbing them off the dead man. Maggie and Beth ran to the fence. Beth noted that Maggie had a bag filled with some medical supplies and food.

They ran in the woods. They kept running until none of them could keep it up.

...

Shane and Rick were in the woods looking for that little girl once again. It's been a week since she ran away and everyone was loosing hope of her being alive.

"You think she's still alive?" Shane asked the question everyone else was scared too.

"To be honest no." Rick sighed.

He felt terrible for saying that but it was true. He honestly thought Sophia was dead.

"Then why are we looking?" If we both think she's dead..." Shane trailed off.

Ricked turned to him.

"What if she's alive, and she died because we stopped looking?"

Shane nodded in agreement.

They kept looking for hours till it started to get dark. When they were walking back the heard people running.

"Just keep going. Don't look back." One had said.

Rick saw two girls running. If they kept that up they'd fall down that cliff down the peak.

"Hey!" Shane shouted.

The first girl stopped followed by the second. They were young. One looked about 20 while the other looked 16.

The oldest one walked towards them.

"What's your name?" Rick asked.

The girl hesitated for a second before answering.

"I'm Maggie, and this is my little sister Beth."

The youngest one stepped closer.

"Would you like to come with us?" Rick wanted to help these girls.

The two sisters looked at each other before nodding.

The four walked in silence before Shane spoke up.

"I'm Shane and this is Rick."

"Nice to meet you." The youngest one answered.

He noted that she had bright blonde hair and the prettiest blue eyes.

When they made to the camp, and everyone noticed the two new comers.

"This is Beth and Maggie. Found them running around in the woods." Rick introduced them to their group.

Everyone introduced themselves and walked away.

...

Daryl woke up and noticed no one else was in the RV. Hissing in pain as he got up, he went outside to see everyone huddled around Rick and Shane. He walked over to see a flash of blonde hair. He wiped his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Everyone walked away, and Daryl saw Beth standing before him. He noticed a bruise on her right cheek.

As he walked closer he heard Maggie explaining what happened to them.

"There were men. They had guns. My sister and I locked ourselves in my room and my dad got shot. When we were leaving I collected some medical supplies and food. I noticed Beth wasn't there so I checked the living room. I saw this man hurting her, so I stabbed him in the head."

After listening to what happened to them just hours before he saw red. Someone dared to hurt Beth.

Beth looked up and noticed him.

"Daryl?" She asked.

Daryl nodded, and before he knew it Beth's arms were around him.

Yeah. This girl intrigued him.

DONE! PLEASE REVEIW.
