Beth looked out the window of the truck that her, Rick, Tyreese and Michonne was in. The place they were heading too was around one hour away. The ride was filled with a comfortable silence, so Beth was starting out the window at the outside world, this was the first time she had been out of the prison for a very long time.

After Rick left to talk to his kids, she went to see her father before she left. They had a quick conversation, it was mainly Hershel telling her to be careful and stick with Michonne and do everything she said which Beth had agreed too and was going to do anyway.

Beth was in the back seat with Michonne while Rick drove which left Tyreese in the passengers seat. They had decided that Rick and Tyreese would go get the food while Michonne and Beth would go get the things that Judith needed. Everyone knew it was a risk splitting up but it would be much quicker and that's what they were aiming for.

Beth looked down at the gun on her lap, she wasn't very comfortable having it, even with a still target she only hit around 50% of the time but she knew she needed some protection and she knew she wouldn't be any good with a knife.

Michonne looked at the girl by her side, truth be told she was glad Beth had wanted to do this run. She knew that Beth was finding it hard being in the prison all the time but she could also see how nervous the girl looked as well "its a simple in and out, we will be fine" said said quietly so only Beth could hear her. Beth was brought out of her thoughts and smiled at Michonne knowing she had to be confident about this otherwise who knows what would happen.

"We're here" Rick announced as he parked the truck. Beth quickly looked around, they were at what looked like a small shopping centre with a few shops scattered around the small area. There was around twenty or so walkers walking around aimlessly at some distance, she then looked at the other side and saw that everyone else was out of the truck and had taken down a walker each "come on Beth, no time for site seeing" Tyreese joked.

She immediately left the truck with gun in hand and went straight to Michonne's side. "right, just like we planned get in, get the stuff and get out" Rick said as he and Tyreese made their way to the food store leaving the two women. "Ready?" Michonne asked only to receive a nod from Beth, then they starting making their way to their own destination.

The two women made their was over to the store, keeping to the edge of the buildings so nothing could sneak up behind them. As they got closer to the store and walkers, their moans and groans was getting louder and louder which made Beth uneasy but she kept her mind on the task at hand and on Judith who was the one that would benefit the most from a successful run.

A walker made its way over to the pair, dragging its one leg that was broken and hanging off. "I got it" Michonne whispered while pulling out her katana and stabbed the walker through the eye socket letting the body dropped and she swung her sword to get the walker blood off it.

Michonne kept her katana out and ready as the two made it to the store, they entered silently. Beth put her gun into her trouser band and picked up a basket that was by the entrance. They went through the isles picking up anything that was needed and so far they had got a few toys that Judith could chew on, the baby gel that helped teething baby's and some play mats that they could lay Judith down on.

They had covered nearly all the store in dead silence "how we doing?" Michonne asked as she lead the way round a corner "nearly got everything" Beth answered "all we need is some more bottles" she said then she bumped into the back of Michonne who was standing still and looked tense.

Beth looked in the direction that Michonne was staring and she herself froze in complete fear, she was hardly breathing. In front of them, down the last isle was around seven walkers just staring at the shelf's, it was weird behaviour but right now the two women only had one thing in their minds, escape. Normally Michonne would have taken them out but with Beth being with her she couldn't risk it so she moved her hand telling Beth to go back.

Beth was too scared to move. She had seen more walkers than this before sure but every time she had someone with her to wisp her away from the scene or it was from the safety of the prison fence but this was completely different and she was terrified.

Michonne put a hand on Beth's shoulder and shook her slightly which brought her back from her fearful state. She looked at Michonne with a worried expression but Michonne looked the same as always, calm. She made a hand gesture and the pair started to step backwards slowly.

They were about to round the corner when Beth accidentally stepped on a child's toy that let out a noise and as if waking them up, all the walkers started making their way towards the girls, groaning at the prospect of food.

"RUN" Michonne shouted. They took off down an isle that lead to the main entrance and closest exit, Michonne took a glance behind her to see they weren't being followed which she thought was off but she then noticed that the unit of shelves between them and the walkers was shaking and started to fall their way.

"Look out" Michonne said and then quickly dived and pushed Beth out of the way and the 10 feet tall, heavy wooded unit fell down and landed on Michonne's leg, a crack was heard before Michonne screamed in pain.

Beth looked up in shock and horror. Michonne had her leg trapped under an extremely heavy unit, her leg probably broken and the walkers were slowly making their way over the unit towards her and the defenceless Michonne.

Rick and Tyreese had a very easy run, only two walkers was in the store they went in and were taken care of easily. They each had a crate full of canned food, they had been very lucky and were feeling on top of the world.

"This should keep us going for awhile" Rick said as they exited the store.

"Yeah, with all this food we might not need to do another run for weeks" Tyreese said smiling as they got to the truck and lifted the cans into the back and that's when they noticed it. Nearly every walker that was in the parking lot was making their way towards the baby store.

Both men's face dropped and turned serious "what's the plan?" Tyreese asked not really sure what to do.

"Something has gone wrong, Michonne can protect Beth and herself but not against that many, we got to get the ones outside to come to us" Rick said looking around then he came up with an idea "Tyreese get in the truck and get back to the prison now" he said. Tyreese immediately grabbed Ricks arm stopping him in his tracks.

"Are you crazy? I'm not leaving any of you" he said glancing at the baby store.

"Listen, we don't know what's gone on in there. But we need to get that food to our group no matter what. so you do that while I go and get those two and get back in one of those cars" Rick said gesturing to some of the cars in the parking lot. Tyreese didn't like it at all but Rick was the leader and he did have a point, the people at the prison needed this food.

Tyreese nodded and got in the truck "you better make it back" he told Rick then drove off. Rick wasted no time and started running towards the baby store.

Another gunshot was fired but it missed its target. Beth was standing over Michonne with her gun in her hands, she had shot down four walkers but she was almost out of ammo. She was dealing with the walkers that made the unit fall but she could hear more groans, moans and banging against the window behind her, she quickly glances behind to see many walkers trying to break through the glass.

Michonne was desperately trying to free her leg but the pain was getting too much for her and she was losing her strength. She was amazed at how good Beth was doing, a few minutes ago she was frozen in fear but now she was fighting walkers. Michonne chalked it up to adrenaline but right now she was just hoping she could keep them both alive till Rick or Tyreese came to help.

Beth fired two more shot and both missed their target, she was out of ammo and had no weapons. She quickly bent down and tried lifting the unit of Michonne's leg but even with her strength as well as Michonne's it wouldn't move.

"Beth get out of here" Michonne said accepting that this would be the end of her but it didn't have to be for Beth.

"No, I'm not leaving you" she replied as she kept trying to move the unit. One of the three walkers left grabbed Beth's arm and pulled her. Beth tripped over the unit and had the walker on top of her trying to bite her, Beth was holding it back with her arms but she knew she was going to lose strength eventually, ;I'm going to die' crossed her mind and as she was about to give up, a gunshot was heard and the walker on her collapsed motionless.

Another two shots were heard when Beth pushed the walker off her and got up to see Rick "Rick" she said shocked but relieved.

"Come on, we got to get Michonne free" he said as they set to work on freeing Michonne. They managed to get her free but her leg was in a bad way and she couldn't stand so Rick put her arm over his shoulder to support her. Michonne looked over at the front door to see all the walkers still trying to get in, she turned to look at Rick "how did you get in?" she asked curiously.

"Back door" he replied as he led the way to the back door with Beth closely following behind.

They made it out and started heading down the ally way when they came to the edge of the parking lot where they had to cross to get to a car. "we're going for that car over there" Rick said as he pointed at a red car that looked to be in the best shape of all the cars available.

As they were about to make their move a walker came behind them and was about to grab Beth when it suddenly fell to the floor startling the small group, They turned around to see an arrow in the walkers skull then a voice was heard "ya guys are getting sloppy".

They looked to the left and saw him, they were all shocked to see him here of all places. Beth stepped forward "Daryl?" she asked in disbelief, almost wondering if she was imagining it.

He nodded "one and only" he replied, happy to see some of the prison group even if it was in a horrible situation. Before anything else could be said they heard the groans of the walkers were getting louder. Rick looked round the corner and saw that the walkers were heading their way.

"They are heading this way" Rick as he helped Michonne move closer to where Daryl and Beth were. Daryl quickly got to the other side of Michonne to support her more and said "come on, follow me I know a place we can go".

I in NO way, shape or form own the walking dead.

Would really appreciate some feed back if you are able.
