Welcome To DC (Chapter 4)

"Get everyone off the bus once we get a clearing. I will run the bus through the horde to create a distraction." I whispered as I looked over every face on the bus. "Beth no!" Maggie whispers as she looks up at me with a look of terror. "I have to… you'll have to get to DC." I whispered. "I'm staying with Beth, I owe her everything." Noah whispers. "I ain't leavin without her." Daryl whispers as he stares at me. "Daryl..." I feel my eyes water knowing that we might not make it off this bus. "Beth you can't." Maggie whispers as tears roll down her cheeks. "Your wasting time… go!" I shouted as everyone got up, I ran to the front of the bus and sat in the driver's seat. I looked out the window to see a slight opening between the hordes of walkers. Rick nods his head at me holding Judith, and Carl close. "You run, and don't look back." He whispers gripping Carl's hand. I looked at Abraham who was getting everyone to the door. I watched as Noah sat in the back and Daryl sat behind me. "Ready?" Abraham whispers, I quickly open the bus door and the run out, I felt my adrenaline start to rise and I took in a deep breath as Tara turned and stared at me as she started to run. I closed the door behind her and watched as they ran through. "They made it!" Noah shouts as he stares out the window with his hands pressed against it. Daryl put his warm hands on my shoulder and ran his fingers across my chin. I put my foot on the gas and began driving through the horde, I buckled my seat belt as they sat down and held on tight. The car started to pick up speed as blood splatted the windows and side of the bus, I knew what I was getting into but I still shook of fear. "Were coming to an end." Noah shouted as he wobbled to get to the front of the bus. "Slow down Beth." Noah shouted as his voice shock of fear. I continued to press my foot on the, peddle and stared at a car coming our way, I couldn't hear them calling my name asking me to stop. "Beth! Beth, Beth stop the bus!" Daryl shouted as he wobbled back in forth trying to grab my arm. The car headed our way swerved trying to get out of the way. "Daryl?" I whispered as I realized what I was doing. I turned my head towards him as tears ran down my cheek. "I'm sorry." I whispered as I felt the whole bus flip, I felt my body jerk around in my seat and I blanked out.

"Baby girl, it's not your time… you needa get out of here." A Familiar voice whispered into my ear in a dark room. "Daddy?" I whispered as I opened my eyes and saw Daryl knocked out. "Daryl?" I whispered as I struggled to get out of my seat. "Daryl!" I shouted as a sharp pain went through my head. "Daryl!?" I cried as I unbuckled the seat belt and fell on top of the roof of the bus. I saw Daryl move a little and my eyes widened in fear, was did he die and turn. Was the only thing ruining through my head. "What did I do?" I whispered as I crawled to him. I reached and grabbed his leg, I pushed him over on his back and tried felling for his heartbeat. "Common, please…" I shouted as I ran my finger through my hair and started hitting him on the chest. "Wake up!" I cried as I started hitting him harder. "Daryl, please!" I shouted as I started sobbing. He gasped for air as his chest raised and his big green eyes stared into mines. "Beth?" he whispered as he sat up and put his hand on my cheek. "I'm here." I cried as I kissed his soft cold lips. He winced in pain as I laid my hand on his leg. I looked up at him and then back at his leg, I checked around and saw a thick cut on his leg. "Let's get out of here it's not safe, don't worry about me." Daryl whispered as he grabbed my hand and tried his best to get up, he wobbled a little and grabbed a seat hovering us. "Noah?" I whispered as I stumbled over to a body laying by the emergency exit. "Noah?" I whispered as I tugged at his shirt. He turned his head and looked up at me. "What the fuck are you doing? Day dreaming!" Daryl shouted as he laid his hand on my back. I ran my finger in front of his eyes back and forth. "Noah?" I whispered as I tried to get his attention. His eyes looked up at me and he tilted his head. "Katie?" he whispered as he lifted his hand and tried to touch my hair, but Daryl quickly slapped his hand away from me. "Katie… no this is Beth, remember you saved me from the hospital?" I whispered as I ignored Daryl. "Katie?" Noah whispered again as he started to try to kiss me. "Hold up." I said to Daryl as he raised his sleeves ready to hit him. I ran my fingers on the back of Noah's head and felt blood. "He hit his head Daryl, I'm sure he lost memory. He'll get back soon or later… but you trying to hit him ain't gonna do a damn thing." I whispered as I helped Noah up. "It ain't safe for him thinking you Katie." Daryl whispered as he started trying to bust the emergency door open. The door flew open as he jumped down and helped me out with Noah. "Come on… gotta get to the others." He whispered. I looked up at a sign and smiled. "Daryl…" I whispered as I nudge his side. He looked up at a sign I was looking at and smirked. "Welcome to DC." He whispered as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I looked up at him as I laid my head on his chest. "We made it… Daryl we did." I whispered. Noah stood behind me looking around like a lost puppy. He started walking the direction of the flaming car, a few feet's away was a woman. He helped her up and checked her. "She's breathing Katie." He shouted as I ran over to them. The woman coughed and looked up at me. "I was trying to get out of the way, but I just made it worse I'm sorry." She whispered as she stared into my eyes. "I should be sorry, I was getting away from a horde and just..." I looked up at her and see looked over at Daryl. "I have a home, just a few from here. I can get you there." She whispered as she stood up and walked down the road pass the bus. I looked at Daryl and he nodded his head. "Can't go back that way Beth." He whispered as Noah followed the woman, and slowly after we did to.

"Were here." She whispered as she pointed at the tall gate. "A mansion?" Noah asked with a chuckle. "Yep, these gates keep me safe… from those things. Also got generators that would light up a whole hotel." She whispered as she smiled. "Water to…" she said as she opened the gates and closed it behind us locking it with a key wrapped around her wrist. "Why were you so far from the house?" Daryl asked as we walked down the path to the tall white house. "Was looking for sum supplies… ". She whispered as she opened the front door. I saw most of the light on in the house and I looked over to see a young girl about my age wearing a rob laying on the couch reading some magazine. "You didn't say there were others…" Daryl grunted. "Oh, who's this?" the girl said as she bite the corner of her lip. "This is… um?" the woman said asking for our names. "I'm Beth, this is Daryl, and Noah." I said pointing at the others. The girl got up and stood in front of Daryl. "I'm Maddie, let me show you your room." She says as she takes Daryl's hand and goes up stairs waving her but around like some superstar slut. He looked back at me as I stared at the girl. "Don't mind her, she's a slut but she's my best friend." She whispers as she walks into the living room. I follow behind her as I look around the beautifully clean house. "I have fresh clothes upstairs… take a shower clean up. You're beautiful but that dirt is dusting it away." she says as she smiles. "Thank you so much." I whispered. Noah went off talking to the woman as I rushed upstairs were I heard Daryl and Maddie laughing. I opened the door to the room as Daryl was sitting on the couch drinking a beer. I saw the girl sitting next to him giggling. He looked up at me and smirked. "Hey, Uh.. Beth?" she whispered as she got up and hugged me. I looked at her like she was crazy then back at Daryl. "What are y'all doing?" I asked with a bit of anger. "Drinking, talking… come down for dinner, I'll get you some clothes." She said as she winked at Daryl and walked out the room. "Really?" I asked as I shut the door and left my hand on it. "What?" he whispered as he took another beer off the shelf. "Can't you see, she would love to crawl all over you." I said gritting my teeth. "Beth…" he whispered as he stood up still drinking. He started walking over to me "No!' I shouted as I let go of the door and walked towards the bathroom. "What?" he asked taking another sip, I knock the bottle out of his hand as I shattered on the ground. He grabbed my hand and stared at me. "Beth, i don't want that girl." He whispered as pushed me on his chest. "I know, I'm sorry… I haven't been thinking straight. From the accident and losing the group again. You could've died." I whispered as I wrapped my arms around his back and waist. He kissed my forehead, and ran his fingers through my hair. I looked up at him and kissed his lips. "I heard shower." He whispered as he smirked and walked into the bathroom. "Haven't you heard ladies first?" I asked as I stepped in the door way. He was already half naked and raised his eyebrows at me. "You can always join, you know save water." He whispered as he scratched at his head. I tilted my head and smiled. "Hmm, sounds tempting." I whispered as I tilted my head. He smiled a wide smile and stepped over to me helping me take off my shirt. He tugged at my belt and held me slide off my pants as I hear a knocking on the door. I looked up at him and sighed of irritations. I walked over to the door and cracked it open. "Got yah some clothes for dinner. And him to." She whispers as she hands me it and struts off. I close the door and laid the close on the bed, Daryl steps behind me and kissed my neck as he lays his fingers under my bra strap and starts to slide it down my hair. I bite my lip as I laid out the clothes. He looked at the Blue mini dress and black high heels. "I don't know which is better you in that dress, or you in your bra and panties." He whispered as he laid another kiss on my neck. I felt him press himself against my butt and back. I bite my lip as I turned and kissed his lips over and over again. He grabbed my hand and took me into the bathroom, he turned on the shower as I smiled. He took off his pants and turned his head and looked into my eyes. "You ready for this Greene?" he asked as he stepped towards my and laid his hands on my hips. I looked him up and down and chuckled. "Umm hmm." I whispered. He went lower and started taking off my underwear. I giggled as I almost fell on him as I kicked my underwear aside. I got into the bathtub and under the water. He got in and stepped behind me, he rubbed his hair with water and sighed. "Feels great." I whispered as I turned and faced him. He looked me up from head to toe and I bite the corner of my lip. "Your beautiful." He whispered as he continued to stare at me. I stared into his eyes and smiled, I lifted his chin so his eyes meet mine and give him a soft kiss. He pressed his body onto mine as I felt every curve and inch of his body. "Are you sure?" he whispered into my ear. "Yes." I said as I took in a deep breath. He moved me up against the wall and lifted my thigh. The water ran down my chest, and I felt his hips moving in. I moaned and kissed his neck as he continued to move in. he focused on what he was doing trying not to hurt me. "Are you okay?" he asked as he looked up at me. "Yes…" I whispered as I gripped my hands on his back. He kissed my neck as he started to move faster, he pulled out and released on my stomach. He took a wash rag and whipped it off as the water also did to. I looked up at him and smiled, "Now, we need to get ready for dinner… ain't got time to be playing house." I teased as I kissed his lips and washed my hair and body. He stared at me, and I throw bubbles on his face. He chuckled and grabbed me and started tickling my soap cover stomach. I giggled and rubbed the soap off his face. He stared in my eyes and smiled. "You're so beautiful." He whispered as he rubbed the side of my chin. I blushed and rain my hair behind my ears. "Yea, so damn beautiful." He whispered again as he gave me a long soft kiss. The water started running cold and I quickly turned it off. "Get dressed Greene." He whispered as I got out the shower and walked into the room butt naked. I grabbed a tower off the clean dresser and dried myself off. I looked over at Daryl who continued to stare at me. I slipped on the new underwear Maddie gave me and walked over to the full body mirror. It seemed to fit perfectly, and grinned and walked back over to the bed. I glanced over at Daryl who was grabbing his clothes off the bed. He looked at the dark jeans, red tee, and a black leather jacket. "At least she didn't try putting me in a full suit." He whispered as he put on his underwear and clothes. I slipped on the blue dress and turned to Daryl. "So decided which looks better?" I asked teasingly. "Nope, I think both is just …" he whispered as he looked me up and down. I smirked and put on the black high heels. "You ready?" I asked as I glanced at him. "Umm hmm." He whispered. I brushed my hair and opened the door. I looked down the hall and walked down stairs and into a kitchen where Noah was sitting wearing a tuxedo and Maddie was wearing a showy Red dress. "Diana?!" Maddie shouted from the dinner table. "I told you she looks good in blue." She whispers as Diana walks into the kitchen. "You both look amazing, sit dinners almost ready." She says with a cheerful smile. She grabs the plates and placed it on the table. "What is it?" Daryl asked. "Gotta a little garden out back, fixed up a salad… and some canned tuna. Hope that's filling." She says as she smirks at me. "Thank you, all of this is just amazing." I whispered as I picked my fork and began to eat. "Why you let people in?" Daryl asked with a harsh tone. "Whatcha mean? I did flip yalls bus and almost got yah killed. Gotta find a way to make it up to you." Diana says with a smile so wide you couldn't even tell she ever been exposed to the outsight world. I watched as Daryl nodded his head and continued to eat, I looked around the table to see that Red headed girl staring at him like always. I cleared my throat and gave her a slight smile. "How long yall been in here?" I asked as I continued to stare at Maddie. "Been here since day one… didn't need to go out until we ran dry on food supplies." Maddie says as she finishes her plate and places it in the sink. "Beth you've got pretty eyes." She whispered as she walked out the room. I look over to see Daryl also done, I continued to eat not wanting to be the last one at the table. "You done?" he whispered in my ear. "Umm hmm." I said as I was going to pick up my plate but instead Daryl grabbed it and put it in the sink. "Diana, don't worry about the dishes… I got it." I said as I stood up and went over to the sink. "Thank you Beth, and oh… Daryl we have a Motorcycle out in the garage. If you know how to fix it up you can keep it." She whispers as she walks out of the room. "You trust em?" Noah ask as he walks to the door. I look over at him and shrug. "I think so…" I whispered as he continued to leave the room.

After I finished the dishes I went upstairs and into our room, I walked over to the shelf full of wine, and beer. I picked up a wine bottle and examined it. "What you doing?" Daryl asked laying on the side of the doorway. I looked up at him and then back at the bottle. He walked over to me and opened the bottle of wine and grabbed a clean glass and poured some in it. "Here." He whispered as he handed me the glass. I took a sip of wine and sat on the couch in front of the wine shelf. Daryl sat next to me holding a beer, I glanced up at him and gave him a pathetic smile. "What's wrong?" he whispers as he runs his finger through my wavy hair. "The others… what if they didn't make it?" I whispered as I stared into his eyes. "They did…" he replies as he lays the bottle of beer on the coffee table. He lays on the couch and moves his arms for me to lay on top of him. I crawled on top of him and laid my head on his chest, and took in a deep breath. "Well find them, once I get that bike fixed will go look for them every sunrise." He whispers as he plays in my hair. "Okay." I whispered, as I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep. I woke up to find myself in a big bed, I looked around the room to see if Daryl stayed on the couch but he wasn't in the room. I got up and took off the blue dress and saw clothes on the coffee table, there was a not beside it. "Out fixing the bike, don't go too far from the house…" I whispered as I read the note out loud. I examined the black jeans with holes, a light blue tank top and a dark jean jacket. I went into the bathroom and laid the clothes on the edge of the sink, I looked in the mirror and splashed water on my face. I pulled my hair up in a bun as I started the shower water and jumped in.

"The garage is in the backyard, it's a bit of a stretch but you'll see it once you get there. Take your crossbow just in case any walkers found their way throw those fences." She whispers as she opens the door, I grab my crossbow and sling on my back. I walk out the house and down the path headed to the garage, the backyard was huge. "Ain't no way me and Merle could ever afford sum shit like this." I grunted as I continued to look around. I looked up at the garage and walked to the side door, I looked on the wall to see a large x written on it. I squinted my eyes and quickly went inside the garage, there I saw the Black motorcycle similar to the one I had at the prison. I smiled and quickly began to work on it, I noticed it was out of gas and the tires were flat. "Get a pump and some gas and this baby should work." I whispered. I looked over to hear someone moving the door knob, I quickly raised my crossbow and noticed it was only Maddie. "I come in peace." She says with a smile. She steps inside of the garage and looks at the bike. "Can you fix it?" she asked. "Umm hmm, ain't much to fix." I whispered as I picked the bike up off its side. I sat on the bike and tried turning it on. "Seems like it needs more work done, while you wait to get what you need maybe you can fix something else." She whispered as she put her hands between my legs. I grabbed her hand and moved it away from my lower body. "Don't." I whispered gritting my teeth. "Oh why not?" she whispers biting her lips. "Let me guess, Beth… right? Thought so, heard y'all even while the water was running. She's pretty loud." Maddie whisper laughing. "Or you're just that good." She raises her hands and sighs. "Fine, maybe later." She says with a chuckle, she leaves the garage and slams the door behind her. I sighed and rolled my eyes as I continued to fix up the bike. After hours trying to get that bike to turn on I throw it on the ground and kicked a bucket, I went to pick it up and noticed the blood spilling from the bucket. I picked it up to see a bucket filled with blood and eyes. "What the fuck?" I whispered as I quickly thought of what Maddie said to Beth. I swung the door open and ran to the house. "Beth!" I shouted as I opened the front door, the house was dark and quiet. "Beth! Noah?" I shouted as I lifted my crossbow. I ran into the kitchen to see knifes spread out all over the table. I ran around the house checking each room, finding nothing. I went down the basement and saw Beth tied up to a chair. I ran over to see her as she tried to tell me something. I pulled out the rag in her mouth and started untying her arms. "Daryl look out!" she shrieked as a woman swing a bat hitting my side. I turned around and pushed her on the ground. "You bitch!" Daryl shouted as he slammed her head into the ground. "Daryl find Noah!" she shouted. I left the woman unconscious and ran upstairs. "Daryl, looking for him?" Diana shouted as she threw Noah on his knees. "If you just would have been a good guest and accepted Maddie's offer we would have kept you alive." She whispers with a smirk on her face. "Put the crossbow down and he'll live." She says as she puts a knife to Noah's eye. "Wondering why we like the eyes? Haha, guess it's just some type of flaw we have. Daddy always loved Maddie's eyes, but didn't like mine. Beth has the perfect eyes, I just have to have it!" she shouted as her hands starts to shack. "You're fucking crazy!" Noah shouted as she starts to giggle.

I get out the car and sneak pass Maddie's unconscious body and quietly snuck upstairs, I saw Diana holding a knife to Noah's eye and silently snuck up behind her. I slid out my knife from my boots and put it to the back of her temple. "But it down Diana!" I shouted. She dropped the knife and raised her hands "do it, Beth… Do it!" she shouted. I flipped the knife and hit her with the handle of it. She fell to the floor and held her head in pain. "Let's get out of her." I whispered Noah ran upstairs and got our stuff and a few supplies. Daryl went to the garage and tried starting up the bike again. It started up and he drove it up front, he honked the horn and we ran over to him. "We all gonna fit?" Noah shouted. "Just get on." Daryl said with a groan. I got on the bike and Noah got on the back. He drove to the gate as I saw Diana sit on the porch and wave us goodbye like nothing happened. "What the fuck is with people these days." Noah shouted over the engine of the bike. "Haven't you heard? The world ended." I said with a smile. I wrapped my arms tightly around Daryl as he continued to drive, Noah jumped off and opened the gate, he got back on and we drove off leaving the gate open for the walkers to come inside. "Where next?" I shouted looking back at the big house. "Let's Get Our Asses Back to DC." He shouted.

We stop at a gas station as Daryl checked the pumps for gas. "Hey Beth?" he whispered. "Yea what up?" I asked as I walked over to him wearing his bandana around my mouth. "To my bow and clear the store out with Noah for me." he says as he fills up a container of gas. I nodded my head and grabbed his crossbow, for the past few days we've been on the road looking for the group. Seems like it's been weeks and time just slipped from us. Daryl started teaching me how to use that bow of his again, and Noah has gotten girl with melee weapons. He slowly stopped calling me Katie and realized what had happen. "Hey Noah." I shouted as he was sitting on the bike playing with his knife. "Hmm?" he whispers as he continues to focus on the knife. "Help me clear this out." I said with a chuckle. He looked over at me and smiled a funny smile. "okay." He whispered as he jumped off the bike making it fall. His eyes wide and he looked over at Daryl who was giving him a death stare. "Sorry." He whispered as he quickly picked it up and ran over to me. "He scares me." Noah whispers, I chuckle as I walk into the store still staring at Daryl. I smiled and opened the door, I looked around the store and hit the side of the wall. "Anyone home?" I shouted. I heard a groan as it came from behind the counter it was a short male and he seemed to be starving. He crawled on the ground and grabbed at my feet, I lifted up the crossbow and sent an arrow flying through its skull. "Damn, you good." Noah whispers giggling. Noah and I have become close friends, he has told me many things about Katie and I finally understood. "Noah, check for condoms!" Daryl shouts from outside, my face turns red and I start to laugh. "Oh my god." I whispered embarrassed. Noah shock his head on continued to look around, I grabbed a few bottles of water and a box of fiber bars. "Hey Beth, you've been looking for a new book bag right?" Noah asks. "That's right, find one?" I asked as I turned my head to see him holding a black with one white strip book bag. He through it over to me and I smirked. "Thanks…" I whispered as I opened it and shoved the supplies inside, I took off Daryl's bandana and wiped of the sweat rolling down my face. "Shit, I wish it was winter." Noah whispered as he grabbed a few things off the shelf. "You say that now, but wait when it snows and you can't feel your toes." I whispered as I continued to look under each shelf. "Haha… got em." Noah whispered chuckling. "Got what?" I asked as I raised my eyebrows. "Condoms." He laughed as he held the box in the air. I rolled my eyes and giggled. "Give me those." I whispered trying to pry them out his hands. "No way." He says as he laughs. "Pack of 20, you heard the man Daryl wants em." Noah says as he scoots away from me. "You don't understand that's 20 minutes of my time." I whispered giggling and grabbing them. He laughs as he falls on his ass, I stare at him and smile. "Thank you." I whispered as I ran outside. "Whatcha got there?" Daryl asks as he pours gas in the bike. I through the box by his feet and he smiled from ear to ear. "Good job Noah." He chuckles. I shove the bandana in my pocket and stood behind Daryl, Noah slowly walks out the gas station. "Ready?" Daryl says as he glances at me. "Yep." Noah says as he runs over to us. We get on the bike and drive off. "We need to get Noah a car." I whisper laughing. "What? I can't be the third wheel." Noah says chuckling. "What is with y'all, so fucking cheery?" Daryl shouts with a chuckle. "Oh come on Mr. Dixon your, everyone's favorite." I shout as I kissed his broad shoulder. He give out a small chuckle as the wind blew through our hairs. Noah took out a map and laid it out on my back. "Were about five minutes away from the white house, be careful we have no idea what could be around it." Noah shouts. "Got it!" I shouted as Daryl slowed down the motorcycle and cut the corner. "That's it?" I shouted as we came up to a big black fence that went around the White house. "That's it!" he shouts as he pulls up to the front, I looked at the water fountain in front of the house and noticed a hole in the gate. "Someone got in." I whispered as I got off the bike. "I remember when I was younger, came here with a Sunday group." I whispered as I turned and looked at the newspapers that rolled on the ground as the wind blew. "No way would we even get in there, sure they got a whole bunch of shit ready to blow our asses in pieces." Noah whispers. "Nah, the president died about a few days in, remember hearing about it on the radio. That's when people went crazy." Daryl whispers as he gets back on the bike. "Ain't like we going in there anyways." He whispers as he points at a group of walkers stumbling towards us. "Let's go." Daryl shouts as he gets back on the bike, we drive off to a building. Daryl opened the door and we went inside, I handed him his crossbow and slid out my knife I tied the bandana around my mouth. Daryl looks around the store and clears it out, I climb the stairs and enter a large bedroom. "Woah." I whispered as I looked at the beautiful paintings on the wall. "Ain't got no privacy." Daryl groans as he comes up the stairs. "I'll just stay down stairs." Noah whispers as he goes back down the steps, I hear him move things around. He sat down on the bed and laid down his crossbow and his leather book bag. I ran my fingers on the border of the art frame. "It's beautiful, how each painting shows a story. Like when someone sing's…" I whispered as I walked to the next painting. "Each pictures is so different, can't be replaced… it's amazing." I whispered as I glanced at Daryl who was lighting a cigarate. "Don't you think so?" I asked as I looked him up and down. He stared at me taking a puff and letting it out through his nose. "Yea, it is." He whispers as he stares at me as I pace from painting to painting. I took in a deep breath and smiled. "Daryl, I want you to try to paint me…" I whispered as I stopped in the middle of the room and looked at him. "I doubt I can do that." He groaned. "Daryl, in that journal I did see a few sketches… you can draw." I whispered as I took off my dark brown jean jacket. "What are you doing?" he whispered as he took in another puff. "Modeling… look for a canvas and some pencils." I whispered as I unzipped my jeans and took off my boots and threw them aside. "Naked?" he asked as he cleared his throat. "Umm hmm…" I whispered as I took of my bra and panties, I crawled on the bed and watched as Daryl went downstairs. He came back up with a canvas, an easel, and some pencils. He laid it out in the middle of the room and waited for me to pose. "How do you want me to pose…?" I whispered as I grabbed the black sheets and laid it over one side of my chest and half of my bottom. I laid out on the bed as my hair laid spread out on the bed. Daryl stared at me for a while and I knew what he was thinking. "Daryl… focus." I whispered as I stayed in place. He began to draw on the canvas and chuckled. "Hard to stay focus with a beautiful naked woman in my bed." He whispered as he continued to draw me. I smiled and waited for him to finish, it took about an hour I was close to falling asleep but he kept me up with him throwing broken pencils on the floor. He took out another cigarate and continued to draw. "Almost done?" I whispered as I yawned. "Been done." He whispers. I groaned with frustration and got off the bed. "Then what have you been doing?" I asked as I walked over to him naked. "Wanted to draw two." He whispers as he walks over to a hidden canvas. "When you dove off pulled this to the side and searched for another canvas." Daryl whispers. I look at the second painting and I smiled. "How did you think of this?" I asked as I looked at the tree behind me, I was wearing a beautiful white ruffled dress, and around me was flowers. "Dreamed it, on the bus…" he whispers as he gets the other drawing, he moves the sheet off of it and shows me the first drawing. "It's, Daryl… you're really talented." I whispered as I gave him a kiss on the cheek. I examined the drawing and smiled. "Are you going to hang it up?" I asked. "Umm hmm." He whispered as he kissed my neck. "Which one?" he asks. As he hold the two drawings in his hands. "The one from your dream." I whispered. "You can always see me half naked, don't think you need a picture for that." I say with a chuckle. He hangs up the drawing beside one of the paintings that I adored. I sit on the bed and watch as Daryl stares at the drawing. "Come." I whisper as I pat the bed. He sits in front of me and I wrap my legs around his waist and laid my head on his back. "I'm tired." I whispered. "Then go to sleep." He whispers as he turns his head and looks at me out of the corner of his eye. "Okay, but stay with me just until I fall asleep." I whispered as I let go of him and laid on the bed, Daryl laid the blankets over me and he laid himself on top of it and laid his hand on my arms. "I love you." I whispered as I pushed my back into his chest and closed my eyes. "I… love you to." He whispered as he kissed my neck and wrapped his arms around me.

I laid my head in her hair and smirked. I continued to kiss her neck as she starts to chuckle. "Your awake?" I asked, as I ran my finger down the blanket rubbing her cold arms. "Then you feel this." I whispered as I moved the blankets and kissed her shoulder, down her arm and at the end of her fingers. "I do." She whispered as she turned and faced me. She gives me a soft kiss as she lifts my head up at her. She gave me a grin and kissed me again "Sleep is over rated." She whispered as she laid her soft cold hands on my jaw and chin. I chuckled and she helped me take off my shirt and threw it to the floor. "Hmm, let's play a game." She whispered as she lifted up off the bed and pulled me by my belt closer to me. I sat up and smiled "What type of game?" I asked with a chuckle. "You tell me something about your past and you get to choose what happens first." She whispered in my ear and kissed my neck with a chuckle. "I don't know." I whispered. "Oh come one Daryl." She whispers as she kisses my shoulders. I finally gave in as she kissed me on my chest. "Fine, okay." I whispered biting my bottom lip. She gives me a cheerful smile as she grabs my hand. "Okay, go ahead." She whispers as she licks her lips. "I lost my virginity when I was fourteen." I whispered. She tugged at my belt and through it on the ground. "I …." I didn't know what she wanted to know and sighed. "What was your mother's name?" she asked. I looked up at him and took in a deep breath. "Riley Dixon." I whispered as she slowly gave me a kiss on the cheek. "I'm sorry." I whispered. "It's okay, old pain." I whispered as I took off my jeans. Beth turned her head and looked out the half bordered window, she walked over to the window and looked out the window. I got up and stepped behind her seeing the moon bright. "The world still has such beauty." She whispered as she glanced at me. I yawned and looked over at the bed. I left Beth standing there and crawled on the bed slowly falling asleep.

I glanced at Daryl as I heard him snoring. I rolled my eyes playfully and giggled, I continued to stare out the window and saw something on the streets run by, it startled me and I quickly backed away from the window grabbing the bits of my clothes scattered around the room and quickly pulled them on, I snuck down stairs and out the building. I cut the corner and looked around the road putting on my jean jacket. The tall buildings connected together reminded me of Woodbury. I looked down a path to see a small figure running down the alley. I ran after it, thinking maybe it could be Carl

I walked pass the seat of swings and saw a dark shadow behind a tree, I shivered each time the wind blew into my face. "Hello… it's okay. I'm not dead, and I won't hurt you." I whispered. I heard a faint cry as it picked its head from behind the tree and quickly back. "I'm Beth, I can help you. Just come out slowly." I whispered. The little figure came out from behind the tree and held a knife covered with blood, she dropped it and ran to me she wrapped her small arms around me and cried. "Oh… you're so cold." I whispered. I took off my jacket and wrapped it around her. "Come on, let's get you out of the cold." I whispered as I took her fragile hand and walked down the path and to the store we have been staying at. I opened the door as Daryl stood there holding his crossbow furiously. "What the fuck Beth!" he shouted as he grabbed me and hugged me tightly. "You scared the shit out of me!" he shouted. He looked down to see the scared little girl. Noah walked in and got on his knees. "What's your name sweetie?" he asked as I shut the door and rubbed my arms. She looked up at me for approval. "It's okay sweetie, you can trust him." I whispered. she looked up at him and rubbed her boots on the ground. "Samantha." She whispered. Daryl sat on the couch in front of the fire place, he threw a few pieces of wood to heat up the room. Samantha walked over to the fire and sat in front of it. I sat beside her and smiled. "Are you alone?" I asked in the softest and sweetest tone. "Yes ma'am… my brother left to get supplies and never came back." She whispers. "When did this happen?" I asked. "About a year ago." She replies. "You've been alone for a year?" Daryl asks laying his crossbow by his feet. "Yes sir, I can handle myself… but lately, people been doing bad things, I watched as the came in our group a rapped good people. I was lucky enough to get out of there, before they came for Me." she whispers. "How old are yah?" I asked as I took a leaf out of her hair. "I think I'm thirteen… haven't kept track." She whispered. "You're telling me you've been going through these since you were ten?" Noah asked. She nodded her head and i looked over at Daryl. "Go get some water and a can of beans…" I whispered. Daryl got up and went upstairs and got the stuff, he dropped the stuff by my feet and I took out the bandana from my pocket I poured water on it and handed her it. "Whip your face off." I whispered as I grabbed the can of beans and opened it with my pocket knife I found a few days ago. See looked at the can and her stomach growled. "Eat, we have plenty." I whispered as I handed her the can. She scooped up the beans with her fingers and eat every bit of it. "You tired?" I asked once she had finished. "I am." She whispers. "Why did you have blood on your hands when you came in?" Daryl asked. "Like I said, had to get away… had to take a man down… with a little help from the dead. Look, I did what I had to do." She says with a growl. "Don't worry about it, you're safe now. Go upstairs and go to bed." I whispered calming her down. "Where we gonna sleep?" Daryl groaned. "We can sleep down here, don't be a dick." I whispered pressing a finger into his shoulder. I watched as Samantha walked upstairs. "What do we do?" Noah asks. "Can't send a little girl packing… we held her find her brother, if he's alive." I whispered. "It's been a year, either he dead, or he just left the girl." Daryl growls. "He ain't Merle, he wouldn't just leave…" I said gritting my teeth. His stared at me as his eyes were cold and filled with anger. "Daryl… I'm sorry." I said as I pulled my hair out of my face. He shook his head and walked out through the front door, and slammed it behind him. I looked down and bite my lip. I went after him leaving Noah in charge to watch the girl. "Daryl!" I shouted as I saw him sitting at the corner of the street. He sat there fiddling with his crossbow. I sat beside him and looked at him from the corner of my eye. "I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry." I whispered as he glanced at me. "I miss Maggie, the way she bossed me around and would yell at me for little things." I said as I giggled. Daryl turned and looked at me as he looked down at the ground. "You miss him don't you? I miss my dad, he would always keep out of trouble before I even thought about getting in to it." I whispered. "I get it, being separated from the group… not knowing if there alive. It fucking sucks, but they will the same way. I'm sure there out there looking for our asses while we sit and paint pictures." I say chuckling. "Hey that was your idea." He whispers as he looks at me from between his hair. "Yea your right, but I don't regret a thing… gotta find things to give us hope. That girl, that reminds me of hope. Young and still alive… just like Judith, and Carl." I whispered as I laid my hand on his knee. "We protect that girl, because that's the right thing to do… we helped Noah get his memory back because that's the right thing to do. Were together because that's such a right thing." I whispered as I bite my lip. "Don't be afraid to live." I whispered as I kissed him. "I won't be afraid to live as long as you're here Greene." He whispered as he rubbed the side of my chin and kissed me again. "Let's get inside before Noah gets himself in trouble." I whispered as we got up and walked back to the store.

I followed behind Beth as she swayed her hips. "Or we can, have a bit of time alone." I whispered as she turned around and smiled. I grabbed her hand and ran into the alley. She pulled off her boots and I helped her take off her pants and shirt. She unbuckled my belt as I pushed her against the wall, she giggled and moaned as I kissed her neck. I pulled off my shirt and pants, and pushed myself on her. She played with my hair as I slowly moved my hips. She bite her bottom lip and smiled.

I laid on the ground as Beth got dressed. I zipped up my pants and stared up at the sky watching the stars. "Come on, we need to head back. Been hour's already." She whispered as she giggled. "Okay." I whispered as I stood up and started walking back to the store, Beth followed behind me as she pulled her hair up in a ponytail. I opened the door to see Noah reading some comic book to the girl. "What the fuck is this? Some reading session…" I growled as I laid on the couch and throw my crossbow at the end of my feet. "Actually it is." Samantha whispered as she continued to listen to Noah. "Shouldn't you be asleep?" Beth asked as she closed the door and locked it. "I was, then got bored and came downstairs." She replies, as she glances at her. "Took y'all long enough." Noah whispers. Beth looked at me with a faint grin. "Don't worry about it, were back aren't we." I said as I closed my eyes. "Noah told me you can sing, I used to sing to… in a church choir my daddy used to take me to." She whispered as she looked up at Beth. "Oh, yea... me to. Do you wanna sing a little song?" Beth asked. "Umm hmm." Samantha whispered as she smiled. Beth sat next to her and I stared at them.

"Did y'all ever sing, Home sweet home?" I asked as I glanced at Daryl. "Yea… that one was my favorite." She whispers with a smile on her face. I took in a deep breath and started to sing, as she jumped along.

You know I'm a dreamer

But my hearts of gold

I had to run away high

So I wouldn't come home low

Just when things went right

It doesn't mean they were always wrong

Just take this song, and you'll never feel

Left all alone.

Daryl smirked and clapped. "Seems like we got us a Beth Jr." Daryl teased. I giggled as I looked up at the girl and smiled. "You can stay with us…" I whispered staring into her big green eyes, her hair was long and brown, it was messy but she was very pretty. "Do you wanna stay?" Noah asked as he placed the comic book on the floor. She smiled and sighed. "Yes." She whispered with a cheerful smile.
