Walking Dead. Daryl/OC. Saw the new episode with Daryl and Beth and had to do this. Set around the time after Beth and Daryl leave the prison. They meet up with a women named Shelly Matthews and she joins them for their journey to try and locate the others of their group. In her Beth finds a women she can look up to and learn from and Daryl finds a women whose past is just as messed up as his and understands him like no other. Mature content. Won't follow the episode or season completely or word for word since I can't remember everything that was said or happened. May do a one shot or two shot. Not sure. Thanks
Beth sighed as she and Daryl walked through the woods. She had finally gotten him up and moving and trying to track down the others. It was like he was giving up and didn't believe anyone was still alive, but Beth knew different. She knew they were out there somewhere. They had come across the train tracks a few hours ago and Beth had her first break down, but she kept on going. She had too.
"Shit." She heard Daryl hiss and Beth looked up and saw a heard coming towards them from the right. Following Daryl she ran to the left. He was able to move easier through the woods but Beth had a hard time following and ended up tripping. Daryl cursed and ran back to help her up but the walkers closed in on them and they stood back to back trying to fight them off.
They were doing ok until Daryl ran out of arrows and ended up going down with a walker on top of him. He saw Beth hit the group too and they fought to try and get out from under the walkers. Daryl just knew they were going to die. He'd survived his whole life to die like this.
"Hey." He heard a women shout from behind them and he heard the swish sound of a blade slicing through the air and taking out the walkers. He saw the walker on top of Beth get killed and the women ran over and stabbed the walker on top of him. Panting he laid there for a moment and squinted up at the women that just saved their ass.
She was a small petite thing. Shorter than him but taller than Beth. She had long dark brown hair and hazel green eyes. Her skin was tanned from the skin and dirty like there's and she was holding a sword much like the one Michonne used. She also had a knife strapped her to thigh and a back pack on her back. She was hot. She held her hand out and he used it to pull himself up standing again.
"Yall alright? I heard the shouts up a ahead and came to see if I could help. You're the first people I've ran across the a long time." She said in a southern accent and he nodded.
"Yeah. No bites or scratches here. Beth?" he ask turning to the blonde who was standing next to the women.
"No. I'm ok. Thank you." Beth said and the women nodded.
"I'm Shelly Matthews." She said.
"Daryl Dixon and Beth Greene." Daryl said and she nodded bending down and ripping his bolts out of the walkers on the ground and handing them to him.
"Well, It was nice meeting you and your girl Daryl Dixon." She said and turned to walk off.
"Wait. She anit. We anit together like that. Got separate from our group after we was attacked." Daryl said walking forward and walking beside Shelly. Beth nodded in agreement with what he said.
"Well, I lost my group months ago. I went out on a run and came back two days later and someone had come in and shot everyone and stole what we had left. Been alone since." She said and Daryl nodded.
"You've survived this long alone. We could use your help. If you want the company and don't have somewhere you need to be." Daryl said. She stopped and look them over for a moment before shrugging.
"Yeah ok. Anit got shit else to do and it'd be nice to talk to someone other than myself for a change." She said and Daryl gave a nod and Beth smiled. They had help now and hope.
They walked in the woods for a few more hours until it started getting dark. They found a place to settle down for the night but a large heard heading there way had them up and running. Beth was able to keep up this time and ran alongside Daryl and Shelly. They ended up alongside an abandoned car on a deserted road. Beth went and tried to see if the car would start as Shelly and Daryl took point as the look outs. When the car would start and they could hear the groans and moans Daryl popped open the trunk and let Beth inside and motioned for Shelly to go next. She tossed her bag under the car and shook her head at him as she walked closer to the woods where the walkers were coming from.
"There's not enough room Daryl. You too go ahead. I'll clear as many of these things as I can. Give yall a fighting chance." She told them and Daryl could see she was going to sacrifice herself for them and he wasn't having that. He wasn't losing anyone else.
"Nope. Get in." he told her and Beth waved her forward, scared there new friend was going to die as they could heard the walkers closing in. When she didn't move Daryl walked forward, picked her up and sat her inside the trunk. She just stared at him, gapping.
"Now where are you going to go mr caveman?" she ask and he rolled his eyes and handed Beth his crossbow as he slide inside and Shelly was pressed tightly against his back. He closed he trunk and tied a knot with his rag and took his bow back. Shelly shifted some to move her hands and had no choice but to put them around Daryl to give him more room.
He jumped slightly when he felt her hands on him but then realized she was giving him more room and scooted back some. He noticed the feel of her body pressed against his back but tried to ignore it as the walkers arrived and knocked into the car.
They all stayed silent for a long time listening to the sounds of the groans and moans of the walkers and the sound of thunder in the back ground. Beth bit her lip to stop from making any noise; Daryl was naturally quite and had no problems staying silent. Shelly too was easily able to stay silent. What she didn't like was being closed in a small place that was even smaller with 2 other people. She pressed herself tightly to Daryl and gripped his leather vest in her hands. She could feel the raised patterns on his back and knew it must be scars but she didn't care. She had her won scars too. He looked over at her when he could feel her trembling against him and knew something was wrong. There was no way she was afraid of the walkers.
"Ya alright?" he whispered and she nodded from where her head was pressed against his back and kept her eyes closed.
"Don't like small places. Bad memoires is all." She whispered back to him. He nodded and knew there was more to that story that he'd ask about later, until then he shifted back against her more to try and give her comfort until they could leave this little ass trunk of hell they were laying in.
When the sun rose they had been in there for a few hours. Shelly was still gripping his vest in a death grip and was working of keeping her breathing even with his. Beth had been dosing on and off and they were all hot as fuck. Not able to stand it anymore Beth reached forward and untied the knot and pushed open the truck.
"Thank god." Shelly whispered and was out of the truck before Daryl could even move. She climbed over him faster then he thought possible and leaned her hands on her knees as she breathed in the fresh air and calmed herself down.
"Ya good?" Daryl ask her and she snorted giving him a thumbs up. He nodded and walked over towards the car. They worked together tearing the car down and taking anything they thought they could use. They worked in silence and before long they had taken everything they could and Daryl nodded for the two girls to follow him back into the woods where they wouldn't be exposed and out in the open.
"So what did you do before all this?" Beth ask Shelly after a few hours of walking. They were tired and hungry and Beth was getting bored. Shelly looked at the small blonde girl and gave her a smile.
"Not anything exciting. I worked in a bar part time fixing drinks and taught self defense during the week. Had a small apartment east of Atlanta. That's about it." She said and Daryl listened. He wanted to know more but didn't want to ask anything yet.
"How did you get into teaching self defense?" Beth ask and Shelly shrugged.
"Got tired of being the victim my whole life is all." She said and Beth nodded and stopped asking question. She knew when to not pry. Daryl thought over what she said and what he had seen so far from this new girl and knew she had been abused. Much like he had.
"We can camp here." He said and they nodded. Shelly helped Beth set up and make shift tent, start a fire and set up a trap for the walkers. Daryl went to hunt and Shelly chuckled when he brought back a large snake.
"Never had snake before." She said as he cooked it up. He just grunted in reply and Shelly knew he didn't want to be bothered so she sat on the ground and waited for the food to be ready.
The snake wasn't all that bad. Little tough but it was better than nothing. Shelly sat between Daryl and Beth as they ate in silence. When Beth was done she looked over at them.
"I need a drink." She said and Shelly snorted when Daryl tossed her a bottle of water without saying anything. Man of few words it seemed.
"Not this. A real drink." She told him and Shelly looked over at the girl and raised her brow in surprise.
"Don't seem like the drinking type to me, chicka." Shelly told her chuckling and Beth shrugged. Daryl just ignored them as they talked.
"Never tried it before because of my dad but he's gone now so. I want to get drunk." She said and Shelly nodded and looked over towards Daryl. Beth looked at him too but he ignored her and she got up in a huff and stalked forward, snatching her knife off the ground and walking off.
"Fine, enjoy your charged snake." Beth said as she passed Daryl. Shelly watched him for a moment. She knew he was hurting and keeping himself locked up as a safety net. She'd master that for years.
"Sighing she got up and followed Beth not wanting her to get hurt. She saw Daryl get up a moment later and follow behind them and Shelly smiled to herself. He was a good guy deep down it seemed.
"Shelly found Beth hiding behind a tree waiting for the walkers to past. When Daryl stepped on a branch it startled her and she turned towards them, knife at the ready.
Daryl just gave her a look and turned to walk off. Beth and Shelly following behind him. When they made it back towards camp Beth snapped.
"You're taking me back to camp. I'm not going. I want a drink." She said and Daryl just stared at her. Shelly didn't feel it was her place to say anything so she just stood off to the side and watched.
"I'm not just going to sit at this craped out camp and wait to be killed. I can take care of myself." Beth snapped at him and flipped him off. Daryl shoved her hand away.
"Hey." He said, getting made.
"Screw you." Beth said and turned and stomped off. Daryl stayed there for a moment and then looked over towards Shelly before growling under his breath about stubborn ass kids and walked off towards where Beth went. Shelly ran and grabbed her back pack and followed behind them.
They met a few walkers along the way and were easily taken care of. They came out into the clearing of a golf course a few hours later.
"Golfers like to booze it up right?" Beth ask and turned to walk towards the golf course club house without waiting for an answer.
Shelly saw a small heard coming up behind them and jogged up to meet Daryl and Beth who were looking into the windows of the front door.
"Heard." She told them and Daryl looked behind them and nodded.
"Come on." He said and they ran around the back. Daryl opened the door and ushered them inside as he used the golf club to keep the door locked.
Shelly pulled her sword from her back as she took in the dark room. There were bodies everywhere and three hanging across the room. You could tell people had been camping out in there until the shit hit the fan and they all died.
Creeping by they walked slowly forward in there mission to get Beth drunk. Daryl found a flash light on the floor and Beth found one on the table. Daryl bent down and started stuffing money and gold into a bag and Beth looked at him funny.
"Why are you taking that stuff?" she ask him and he ignored her as he stood and continued walking towards the doors in the back. As soon as they reached them they heard the heard at the door trying to break in so they ran forward as Daryl opened the double doors and let them inside before he slammed the doors shut and locked them.
They ended up in what looked like the kitchen area. Daryl and Beth went one way and Beth went the other.
"So your group that you were with? How many people are we looking for? A couple or like a whole truck load?" Shelly ask him from her spot where she was kneeling down and looking under the cabinets as Daryl looked on top.
"A fair few. The one's that we care the most about are the ones we've been with since the beginning. Beth's father was killed in front of her and her sister Maggie is still out there somewhere, maybe." Daryl said and Shelly nodded.
"What about you?" she ask moving to the next cabinets.
"What about me?" he replied.
"Got a sister or brother, girlfriend or wife you need to find too?" she ask and he grunted.
"Naw. My brother was all the family I had when the world went to shit. He died few months back. Now wife or girlfriend ever." He said and she nodded.
"So just friends from your group then?" she said and he nodded. They heard a creak and stopped to listen but when nothing happened they moved on to the next room.
"What about you? Family out there alive, husband or boyfriend?" he ask her and she snorted.
"My mother died when I was 10, my father was a bastard that died in prison where he belonged. Had a boyfriend once years ago but he cheated on me and never found anyone else. No siblings and no friends really. The group I was with before I actually met on the way to Atlanta before it was bombed. Just a few strangers that tried to band together. Didn't work so well for us." She said putting a few knifes in her bag. He was going to reply when they heard Beth give a startled sound and they ran out. Shelly rounded the corner with Daryl behind her just to see Beth stab the walker in the head.
"Thanks for the help." Beth said to Daryl who just gave her a look.
"You said you can take care of yourself and you did. Come on." He said and Beth sighed but followed behind them.
They made there way down the stairs and had to crawl under some fallen cases until they reached the gift shop. Daryl pocketed everything he could find before sitting in a chair. Beth went over and got a new shirt and sweater to put on.
"There's more if you want it." Beth told her motioning to the preppy clothes hanging on the wall. Daryl snorted as he took in the black leather pants and vest she wore over a white shirt and Shelly snorted too.
"I don't think it's my style do you?" she joked with the young blonde who shook her head and smiled.
Beth walked over and noticed a women that had turned and been hung with a sign that said Rich bitch on her chest. Disgusted Beth tried to get her down and Daryl just sat there and watched her.
"Help me get her down." Beth ask him and he snorted.
"Why don't matter none she's dead." He said and Beth rolled her eyes.
"It doesn't matter." She said and Daryl sighed before tossing a blanket over her head.
"Better?" he ask her and she nodded to him.
They left after that and headed back down the hall but the chime of the clock attacked several walkers.
"This way." Daryl said but they were block two more times before they found a empty room. Daryl tried to shut the door but there were to many.
"Let them in." Shelly said taking out her sword and tossing her stuff to the floor. Daryl nodded and picked up a golf club off the floor and started beating the walkers to death as they came inside. Shelly took the other said of the room and sliced through four of them and allowed Daryl to work out his anger on the last two. The last one through Beth ended up getting splatter with blood and ruined her new clothes.
"Feel better?" Shelly ask him as she walked by. Daryl nodded noticing that she didn't ask him in a tone that applied he did anything wrong or that she was disgusted with him. She seemed to almost be joking with him.
"We made it guys." Beth said and they turned the corner to see that they made it to the bar. Walking inside Shelly walked over to the pool table and kept a look out outside, Daryl pulled some darts off the wall and walked pat Beth who had found a half empty bottle.
"Peach snapps. Is it any good." Beth ask and Daryl snorted.
"No." he said as he started throwing darts at the pictures on the wall. Shelly sat on the pool table and watched them both. Beth just stared at the bottle after trying to clean a glass with no luck and Daryl just kept glancing back at her and then to Shelly.
"Well, gonna drink or what?" he ask her and she nodded but started to cry. Shelly shifted from where she sat. She had never been good with girls that cried around her. She had never been allowed to cry in front of others. Daryl looked just as uncomfortable with it as she did and walked over and took the bottle from her and threw it across the room.
"Your first drink anit going to be no fucking peach snapps. Come on." He said and opened the back door and motioned for them to follow. Beth and Shelly shared a look and Shelly just shrugged and followed.
Daryl lead them back into the woods and they walked for a hour or so before Shelly saw a shack sitting up on a hill and she laughed.
"I know what this place is." she said and Daryl chuckled and nodded.
"You about to get good and wasted chicka." She told Beth as she bumped her shoulder playfully as they walked up the driveway to the back of the house. Beth looked confused but when Daryl opened the hatch to the shed and they looked inside and handed her a box full of mason jars Shelly knew she was right.
"Moonshine." He said and she chuckled as she helped Beth carried it inside.
"My old man had a set up like that. That's how I knew what it was." He said as he sat the box on the table and Beth pulled a jar of clear liquid out. Shelly walked around the room and looked at the run down place.
"My father too. Our house was bigger than this and his moonshine shed wasn't attached to the house but the set up is the same." She commented and Daryl observed her as she ran her hands over the walls that held pictures of naked girls on them. He knew she was lost in memory.
"Where's your dad now?" Beth ask her and she tensed as she turned to look at Beth.
"Dead where he belongs." Shelly told her and Beth nodded turning back around to Daryl who handed her a empty cup.
"You gonna drink with me?" she ask him and he snorted.
"Someone's got to keep watch." He said.
"What are you my babysitter now?" she ask taking a sip and Daryl just walked past her.
"Just drink plenty of water." He told her sarcastically and Beth rolled her eyes.
"Yes Mr. Dixon. This is the nastiest stuff I ever had." Beth said before taking another sip and shrugging.
"Not too bad the second time." She said and Shelly chuckled at the little blonde. Beth sipped her drink as she walked around the small house, Daryl had been sitting in a recliner watching as Shelly stood on the porch and looked outside.
"Who would by this?" Beth ask and Daryl glanced over to see her pull out a stupid pink bra statue.
"My old man would. Use to use them for target practice in the living room." Daryl commented and Shelly turned her head to listen.
"He shot guns in your house?"Beth ask and Daryl snorted thinking of all the bad shit his father did, that was the least of the list.
Standing he left Beth on the floor to drink more and walked out on the porch and leaned against the railing next to Shelly. She smirked at him before digging in her pocket and handing him a cigarette. His eyes lit up at the sight.
"You look like a man that could use a good smoke right now." She said and he nodded eagerly lighting his after she lit hers.
"So tell me about your group." She ask and Daryl looked at her for a moment before giving her a quick over view of everyone from there group and what they had been through. He told her about who they had lost and about Carol being kicked out, how mad he was at her for what she may or may not have done. She was like his sister and he wished he had been able to talk to her and find out why. He told her about the governor, his brother and then the fight at the prison.
"Sounds like yall been through the ringer." Shelly said and Daryl nodded as they turned when Beth giggled.
"How long we gonna let her drink for?" she ask him blowing smoke out of her mouth and eyeing the small blonde inside.
"Till she's drunk I guess. Anit my problem." He said and walked back inside.
"Let's play a game." Beth said and kneeled on the floor. Daryl was sitting against the chair and Shelly was leaning against the wall, drink in her hand as she decided to have one too.
"what game?" Shelly ask and Beth smiled.
"I never." She said and Shelly snorted.
"What do you know about I never?" Shelly ask scooting up to sit in front of the crate, between Daryl and Beth. Beth poured Daryl a glass and sat it in front of him.
"My friends use to play it. Ever played?" she ask them and Daryl shook his head and Shelly nodded.
"Never need no game to get lit." Daryl said and Shelly chuckled.
"Once." She answered and Beth nodded.
"Well, you say I never and you list something and if anyone ever did it they have to drink." She told Daryl who just looked at her and grunted.
"I'll start. I've never shot a crossbow." Beth said and Shelly didn't drink since she never shot one either and Daryl snorted.
"Not much of a fair game." He said taking a drink.
"That was just practice." Beth told him.
"Now you." she told Daryl.
"I don't know." he said.
"Just say anything you've never done." Beth told him and he thought for a moment.
"I never been out of Georgia." He said and both Beth and Shelly drank.
"Shelly your turn." Beth said and she thought for a moment.
"I never been to church." She said and Beth and Daryl both drank.
"Never?" Beth ask and she shook her head.
"Nope." She confirmed and Beth looked shocked for a moment.
"Ok. I never smoked anything." Beth said and both Daryl and Shelly drank.
"I never been on vacation." Daryl said.
"What about camping." Beth ask and Daryl shook his head.
"No that was something I had to learn to hunt." He said.
"Your dad teach you that?" she ask and Daryl just nodded.
"I never been in love." Shelly said and Daryl looked at her and didn't drink. Hell he never had either. Beth drank and then looked at her.
"Not even in high school. Like first love and dances and all that?" Beth ask and Shelly looked at her glass.
"Chicka. I never been to a school dance in my life and I wasn't allowed friends or boyfriends back then." She told the girl who frowned.
"Why not?" Beth ask apparently drinking made Beth nosey.
"My father was a drunken, bastard that controlled me until he went to jail when I was 16. I drop out then and got my GED so I could move away from that town. I spent most of my days at home locked in the small basement so he wouldn't have to see me." she said bitterly and Beth looked down ashamed to have pride and Daryl looked at Shelly long and hard as she stayed looking at her glass. She was a lot like him.
"I've never got drunk and did something I regretted." Beth said and Both Shelly and Daryl drank.
"I never been to a fair." Daryl said and only Beth drank.
"I've never ridden in a plane." Shelly said and only Beth drank again.
"Ok. I've never been to jail as a prisoner." Beth said looking towards Daryl . Shelly snorted and took a drink while Daryl turned to look at Beth.
"You went to jail?" Beth ask her not seeing the look Daryl was giving her.
"Beat up a guy at the bar for trying to touch me and pay me for sex. Broke his nose and he pressed charges." Shelly said and Beth chuckled before turning to look at Daryl expecting him to drink but he just started at her.
"Is that what you think of me?" he ask her and she shook her head quickly.
"I just through with the regrets and all. Were you a prison warden before all this. I bet you were?" Beth said trying to change the subject and Daryl snorted and stood up.
"I got to piss." He said and walked to the side of the room and peed against the wall.
"Daryl." Beth said but Daryl's mad laughter cut her off. Shelly knew he was going to blow, it had been building and all she could do was watch.
"Wanna play a game. How about this. I've never eaten frozen yogurt," he spat. "I've never had a pet pony. Never got nothin' from Santa Claus. Never relied on anyone for protection before — hell, I don't think I've ever even relied on anyone for anything. Never sung out in front of a big group in public, like everything was fun. Like everything was a big game. I sure as hell never cut my wrists looking for attention!" he screamed getting louder and louder and madder and madder.
Shelly rubbed her own wrist when he mentioned that to the scar she had where she tried to do just that at 15. Daryl saw it and glanced at her before looking back at Beth.
"You never shot a cross bow huh. Well let's go." He said and snatched her off the floor and dragged her outside. Shelly knew this could get bad and grabbed her sword and ran outside to see Daryl holding Beth and shooting a walker in the chest, pinning it to the tree. He was out of control and he was going to hurt someone.
"Daryl. That's enough." Shelly said coming to stand in front of them and Daryl glared at her.
"Enough. You don't know shit about what's enough honey. You couldn't possible understand what I'm feeling." He said and she moved Beth out of the way who ran up and stabbed the walker in the head to kill it.
"Don't tell me what I do and don't know Daryl. You don't know shit about me but I can promise I know more about what your feeling than anyone and fighting with each other anit gonna make it better." She said. Daryl bit his thumb nail as he looked past her to Beth.
"Why'd you kill him we were having fun?" he ask Beth.
"Killing them isn't supposed to be fun Daryl." She snapped and Daryl glared at her. Shelly walked up and stood in front of Daryl as he ranted and raved and Beth gave it back to him.
Then the flood gates opened and Daryl broke down. Saying he could have done more to save everyone. Shelly walked up and hugged him to her as Beth hugged him from behind and let him cry. He needed to let it go or it would eat him alive.
"You're not a very nice drunk?" Beth said later on that night after things calmed down. Beth was still sipping her drink but she was pleasantly drunk. Daryl and Shelly had opted to not drink anything else.
They were sitting out on the porch enjoying the calmness about there now that the tension was broke. Daryl felt much better and he was now close to both Beth and Shelly for helping him come back from the dark place in his mind he had been the last few days. Beth was like a little sister to him now, he cared about her. Shelly, well he cared for her in a different way a way that made him blush.
"Yeah. I'm an asshole." He told her and Beth and Shelly chuckled.
"I wish I could fell like this all the time." Beth said looking glassy eyed and Shelly laughed.
"Dangerous words chicka." She told her and Beth chuckled.
"I know. It's just nice is all?" Beth said and Shelly nodded.
"You wanna really know what I did before all this?" Daryl ask them and they both nodded.
"Truth is nothing. I was nothing. Just drifted around with Merle, doing whatever he said we were going to do that day. Drinking and getting high. Amounting to nothing." Daryl told them and they gave him a look of understanding and nodded.
"But you anit nothing now. From what I've seen and what I've heard seems to me like you were made for this life. Just need a reason to shine is all." Shelly told him and Beth nodded in agreement.
"You'll miss me when I'm gone. You'll be the last one standing for sure. Maybe both of you will." Beth said and Shelly tapped her foot.
"Don't say that chicka. You'll be there with us too." She told the blonde who smiled at her. Shelly rubbed her wrist again where her bracelet lay covering her scar and Daryl saw it.
"Sorry about before. I didn't mean it." He said looking at her and then Beth. They both nodded.
"We know." Shelly told him and they looked at each other for a while. Understanding and something else passing between them.
"I need to pee." Shelly said standing and picking up her sword. Daryl stood too.
"I'll keep watch. Beth don't move." Daryl said and Beth nodded and Daryl walked Shelly around the corner by the shed and stood with his back to her as she peed. When she was done she put her hand on her shoulder and he turned.
"You ok though now?" she ask him and he nodded reaching forward and pushing a lose strand of hair behind her ear.
"Yeah. I am now. Thanks for helping. I needed that." He said and she nodded.
"It's nice to have someone in your corner sometimes." She told him and he hummed in agreement.
"I'm in yours now too. Ya know that right. I want ya to stay with us. Even if we find our group. I want ya there." He told her and she smiled and nodded.
"Ok." She said and he leaned forward and pressed a kiss to her mouth. It wasn't a long kiss but enough to let each other know that there was more there and would be even more in the future.
When they pulled back they were both blushing as Daryl lead her back to the porch where Beth still was.
"We should head inside." Daryl said and Beth looked up at them.
"We should burn it down. Put it all behind us." Beth said and Shelly and Daryl looked at each other and grinned.
"Were gonna need more shine for that." Daryl said and they laughed and went inside and splashed the rest of the moonshine everywhere before grabbing there things and heading outside. Standing at the front Shelly threw a bottle of moonshine into the window of the house thinking back to the prison of a home she was raised in and how burning this would be like burning that place too. Daryl was thinking the same.
"Wanna do the honors?" Daryl ask Beth who smiled.
"Hell yeah." She said and lit the match and set the stack of money on fire Daryl was holding. He let it burn for a moment before tossing it inside and lighting the bitch up in flames. Beth flipped the house off as it burned and Shelly and Daryl did the same things.
Each of them saying good bye to something different.
When the walkers appeared they knew it was time to go.
"Come on." Daryl told them and they turned and together the three of them set off to find whatever was in store for them now.
Hoping to find the rest of their group they knew that might be a long shot but they would try. In the mean time the three of them were a family now and would stick together no matter what. Daryl and Shelly shared a look as his hand brushed against her and she blushed but gripped his back. Beth saw this and smiled. She just knew everything would work out for them now.
