Chapter 8 –

"Beth!" Daryl yelled as he beat on the train car door. "I'm gonna kill you, you son of a bitch!" His yelling paused when he heard a male, possibly Gareth, scream out in pain.

"The bitch dislocated my knee!" Daryl felt a sense of pride fill his chest but it turned to dread when he heard silence and muttering come from the people outside. Beth had fought back. He closed his eyes tightly as his thoughts raced to remember how greatly outnumbered they had been outside of the train car. Fighting back had probably gotten her killed. "Take her to the Greater Good in the city before I change my mind!" he heard the man yell again and his heart lifted from its new position in his stomach. They hadn't killed her for fighting back. It was good news and Daryl mentally vowed to never rest until he had found her.

"Rick? Daryl?" the hunter turned at Glenn's voice and he felt shock rush through his body at the sight of so many of their family members still alive. Bob, Sasha, Maggie, and Glenn along with four people he didn't know.

"Who are they?" Rick asked as Maggie stepped closer to the hunter.

"They helped me find Maggie." Glenn explained and Rick nodded.

"Then they're friends of ours."

"You were yelling about Beth," Maggie interrupted, her eyes wide as she watched Daryl. "Is she here? Is she okay? Where is she?" Flashes of her notes to Glenn crossed Daryl's mind and he turned his body to face her.

"Wha' do you care?" he snarled. "All your notes to lover boy here and not once mentioning your sister? Did you forget about her?" His voice dripped with venom. Rick put his hand on Daryl's shoulder and the hunter shrugged it off before pacing what he could of the train car. The walls felt too narrow, the ceiling too low, and he let out a growl as he kicked the wall of the train car.

"N-no, I didn't forget about Beth," Maggie replied, her voice shaky. She took a deep breath and Daryl looked at her before resuming his pacing. "Everything that happened…it was a lot to take in. He killed Daddy, right in front of us! And then everything happened and we all got separated…it would have crushed me if I had tried to focus on everything and everyone at once, so I focused on finding Glenn. I needed a job, a destination, a goal, and I found it through my search for him. I hoped that maybe Beth had found him but when I saw that she wasn't with him, I hoped that she had seen the signs for Terminus and would come here. When we got here, I wished she wouldn't come here and that maybe we'd escape and find her somewhere…but you're…you're saying she's here?" Daryl felt a small twinge of guilt as the older Greene spoke. He nodded and leaned against the wall of the train car heavily.

"Yea…they took her. Said the Greater Good needed her. Just a moment ago he said it was in the city…When we get outta here, he's mine," the hunter snarled.

"We need to keep a level head," Rick told them. Maggie nodded, her eyes searching Daryl's face intently, making the hunter feel exposed and uncomfortable.

"How are we going to break out of here?" the woman Glenn introduced as Tara asked. Daryl slid down the train car wall, his mind focusing on the panic he had seen in Beth's eyes before they had been separated. The last time her eyes had looked so panicked had been weeks, or was it days (he honestly couldn't tell anymore), ago when the man in the car had stuffed her into the trunk of that car at the funeral home. The hunter could feel the train car walls shrinking in more and he jumped back up to his feet and resumed his pacing, his rage returning to a roar, making his vision go red.

"Can you stop pacing for a minute?! You're not helping!" Maggie yelled and Daryl spun to face her, his mouth opening to throw a retort at the brunette. "I want out of here just as badly as you do so that we can find my sister…" the older Greene took a deep breath in and out and blinked her eyes to clear the tears building.

"How long have you been in here?" Rick asked the group and the redheaded male, Abraham, shrugged.

"Hard to say. We're guessing a few hours," Abraham said and Glenn looked at the sunlight coming in through the crack of the door and nodded. Rick looked through the gap of the door. A shadow of a person walking by passed the door and he turned to the group.

"They're gonna feel really stupid when they find out…" Rick growled and Dary ceased his pacing to look at him.

"What?"

"That they're screwing with the wrong people."
