Chapter 26

People went to visit Beth. She was happy to see them again, but she just wished that she hadn't seen all over her family die before her own very eyes. She would rather have them alive. Glenn was also a huge mess. He was a bit more talkative than Beth, but he was still depressed like her over the death of their beloved.

They still didn't know what to do with Vince. Kill him, or spare him? Daryl was a pretty big influence on the decision. He would talk about it with Rick and the rest of the group when he wasn't with Beth. He was always with her, by her side. Beth stopped crying after a while. She just sat there next to Daryl or whoever else was there, almost motionless.

Truth is, she was eating herself up over the death of her sister. Maybe if she'd have said something, she would still be alive. She would repeat these sort of things to herself in her head. They were killing her inside. Daryl noticed one day when her lips were silently moving.

He touched her knee. "Beth. It's not your fault." She stopped speaking silently to herself a just looked down at her hands in her lap. She didn't say anything after that. He turned back to the wall. He threw small rocks at it that were the used-to-be prison walls.

"Daryl," Beth mumbled. Her voice was scratchy and throaty. "What if it was my fault?" She continued. Daryl turned around and looked up at her from on the floor. She was sitting on the edge of her mattress while Daryl was sitting on the ground next to her.

"It wasn't, Beth. There's nothing you could have done. Or Glenn. Or anyone else except for the idiot himself." Beth took in a deep breath and nodded. She still wasn't convinced- and didn't think that she ever would be- but she knew that she needed to get out of the small bubble that she was in. Maggie wasn't here, but everyone else was.

Beth stood with Daryl at her side. He gave her a questioning look, raising an eyebrow at her. She gave him a small, weak smile and nodded then stepped out of the small cell. No glances went her way. She didn't want the attention, anyway.

Rick was over by the broken stairwell talking to Carl and Michonne. Sasha and Bob were nowhere to be found, and Glenn was leaning against on of the other cells talking to Tara, Abraham, Rosita, and Eugene, who were newbies to the group. Daryl and Beth moved to the other cell block to sit at the table.

When it was just them, Beth started asking questions. "Do you know what's gonna happen to Vince?" Daryl hesitates before he answers. "What?" Beth asks. "We decided to let you and Glenn choose his fate. You two were the closest to Maggie."

Beth's eyes widened. She really didn't want to be out on the spot, but Glenn was also deciding. She wanted to let the man free. He didn't know that Maggie wasn't bad. He thought she was going to hurt them, along with the rest of the group.

But if they did let him out, there's a huge possibility that he would go crawling back to Terminus and tell him that Beth and Daryl were holed up in the prison. Or he could just find his way back to the jail and kill them all.

Beth sighed. If they killed him, it would be for Maggie's life. Vengeance. And they would be ending a man's life. Lives were precious in this world. Everyone in the building was incredibly lucky to be alive, let alone the whole world.

She finally shrugged. "I honestly don't know what to do." Daryl felt bad for the girl. Her sister had just died and now the group was putting her in charge of taking care of her murderer. Rick hasn't listened to him when he suggested that they vote.

Glenn walked in the metal door that moment. He sat next to Daryl with a depressed look on his face. Beth felt the same as he looked. "We should kill him." His voice was full of hatred.

Beth and Daryl looked at him in disbelief. He was acting completely out of character. This wasn't him, Beth thought. Nobody else spoke. "No." Beth said after a few moments of silence. "Maggie wouldn't want that." Her voice was small and soft when she voiced her thoughts.

Glenn's head whipped up to look at her. "You don't know what she would've wanted." His voice raised a bit. "Of course I do! I was her sister!" Her voice raised a lot and cracked on the word was. She stood up from the table in anger. Without another look back, she raced out of the cell block, leaving Daryl and Glenn behind her.
