I am so excited for this chapter!

I have re-read and altered it so many times but I am finally happy with it and I hope you guys are too! You may notice a few similarities but I'm going to explore certain scenarios in more depth.

I don't want to say too much and ruin anything but I really do hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

I will be going in between Daryl and Beth's POV which I have really enjoyed... I think this has got to be my favourite chapter so far.

Thank you all for readying, please enjoy!

Home Is With You: Chapter 6

Daryl
Everything just happened so fast. They came out of nowhere and surrounded us; I didn't even have a chance to fight back. I tried to get Beth to run but they caught her and before I could do anything else I was knocked out. I don't know what by or who by but I just know that one minute I was looking at Beth, as some asshole had his arms around her stopping her from moving and then everything went black. When I came back round I was in a room, cement walled room with nothing but the chair I was tied to. There was a light above me but it wasn't that bright and I could hardly see where the door was but I could just make out the doors outline. I don't know how long I was out and I don't know how long I've been here but I'm worried about Beth and what is happening to her, I hope she isn't hurt but if she is... I swear to God I will kill all of them.

Hershel and Maggie are going to kill me; I was just supposed to be taking Beth out on a tracking lesson but now we've been taken and she's had God knows what done to her. This wasn't supposed to have happened, it was never meant to happen to her of all people. She doesn't even go out of the gates that much. The first time I take her we see the dead mother and son and the second time she gets taken... they are never going to trust me with her ever again and I don't blame them. I was supposed to protect her and I didn't, I failed her.

I was thinking of talking to Beth about maybe telling her family about us but after this, I don't think I'm going to. They are not going to trust me with her and they're not going to like it... I know they're not. Would you trust me with your daughter? I wouldn't. I can't keep her safe, I'm no good for her and I knew I wasn't but for some reason, she chose me and allowed me to be with her. Hershel won't allow it and Maggie will probably kill me, I knew this was a bad idea, I knew taking her out the gates was a bad idea but I just couldn't say no to her... why couldn't I say no to her? She would be safe if I had just said no for God sake.

I hope that the others have realised something is wrong and I hope to God that they come looking for us, for Beth's sake more than mine. I don't care what happens to me, I'm not important and I've always known that it would end bloody and bad for me, even before the turn. Beth needs to get out of here to survive because she has a family, a father and sister who need her and Ass-Kicker needs her. Beth is one of Ass-Kicker's main care takers and she needs her... they need each other. If Rick and the others are not coming then I will die to get her out of here, I will do everything in my power to get Beth back to her family.

The door in opened and I saw an outline of three men, I recognised the man standing at the front as 'The Governor' and two other I didn't recognise, I didn't recognise them from the woods anyway. Maybe they had been there; I didn't see everyone that was there. The two bodyguards or whatever they were had weapons in their hands. One of them had an iron bar and the other had a screwdriver, a large one. I had my arms tired behind me and a rope tied around my chest and chair trapping me there. I couldn't fight back if I needed to, they were going to try and crack me but they don't know who they're talking to and what I have to lose.

"I've been speaking to your lovely lady friend... she is a real sweetheart," The Governor said with a sick grin on his face, he was trying to get a reaction out of me "It's been a while since I saw a woman that beautiful, she's got all those womanly curves in all the right places. She's obviously being taken care by someone... is that someone you?" He asked me.

Does this asshole think that I'm just going to tell him about Beth? I don't think so. The less he knows about Beth, the prison and everyone else the better. I can't let him know anything that he can use against her, I just need to keep quiet and not tell him anything... I know I can do that.

"I will find out everything I want to one way or another," He threatened and nodded to his two henchmen "Do what you need to," He told them before facing me again "I'm gonna go and see that pretty girl of yours again." He said with another sick smirk and left the room.

Beth
When Daryl and I got attacked in the woods, he told me to run and I was going to run back to the prison to get Rick and the others but one of the men caught me and Daryl was knocked out. I don't know what happened to him after that, we got put in separate cars and I had a blindfold on so I couldn't see. I tried to remember the route by remembering how many turns there were and how frequent but I lost count, I don't have a clue where I am or where Daryl is but I'm worried about him, he was hit pretty hard and was knocked out before he even hit the ground, he might have a serious injury... or worse... I need to know that he is ok.

I was in a room, a really empty room with just a table, a chair opposite me and the chair I was sitting on. My wrists were tied to the arms of the chair and it had been pushed under the table so I didn't have much room to move even if I wasn't tied to the chair. There was a bright light in the room and I tried to look for a weapon or way out or even just a way to get me out of this damn chair but there was nothing but walls. It felt like I was maybe in a cellar or something similar, it was cold and horrible.

I heard talking in the next room, I couldn't make out how many people were in there or what they were saying, and all I could hear was a low muffle sound. Suddenly the door opened and The Governor came in and smiled at me, I looked down at the table as he entered the room and closed the door behind him. He held a large knife in his hand and I held my breath as he came and stood by me, I was waiting for him to hurt me but he cut the ropes off my wrists before moving back round to the other side of the table.

"May I?" He questioned and gestured to the empty chair, I didn't answer him; I just crossed my arms over my chest and looked at him as he looked at me "I will bring you back to your people and explain that this has been just a big misunderstanding. Just tell me where they are, we'll drive you right to them," He said... did he think I was stupid?

"I wanna talk to Daryl," I stated.

"I can't allow that, you people might be dangerous," He told me.

I couldn't help but scoff at him "Says the kidnapper," I replied and shook my head at him "I think you're the dangerous one and you not letting me see Daryl... it just proves to me that you have no plan to return us to where you got us, you have no plan for us to be reunited. I'm not going to tell you anything," I said.

"You know... your man must care about you a hell of a lot, he's willing to get himself very hurt to keep everything about you a secret," He told me as a large thumping sound and a sound of someone in pain came from the next room.

"What do you want with us?" I asked him "You don't kidnap people for not answering a question," I argued.

"I did it because I could," He answered.

Another loud thump and painful sound came from next door.

"Whatever you're doing to him, just stop!" I shouted at him as tears pooled in my eyes "Leave him alone, he's a good man," I told him as my tears threatened to fall.

"He's not been very forthcoming. I just need him to know that I mean business," He told me calmly.

"You are a monster. It's not the walkers that are going to rid the Earth of its last people... its people like you that are going to be the downfall. I hope when you die, it is slow and painful and I hope you end up in hell like you deserve to burn for all eternity." I said.

Daryl
The guy with the iron bar landed a couple of blows on my ribs which I'm sure was broken and he whacked me on the left leg a few times as well. They wanted to make sure I felt maximum pain; they wanted to make sure that I was at their mercy, they wanted me to crack. It's not going to happen because they have Beth and I have everyone at the prison to think about, I can't let this guy do anything to them, I have to protect them.

The one with the screwdriver kneeled down in front of me and flattened out my hand, he put the tip of the screwdriver right by the edge of my nail and he looked me in the eyes, he wanted to give me a chance to talk so he didn't have to do this, he didn't want to do this. What has this Governor guy got on everyone that will make them do as he says? I stared into the guys eyes and he looked like he was about to piss himself, he didn't seem like much of a bad guy and I could tell he was hoping that I wouldn't make him do this.

"Ain't tellin' him shit," I stated.

"I'll do what I have to," The guy argued.

"Then do it." I told him.

He took a deep breath and put the screwdriver under my nail. He was separating the nail from the skin, I yelled out in pain and tried to move my hand away but he kept it in place as he put the screwdriver in deeper, the blood was going everywhere and I could feel my nail coming lose. I yelled louder and tried to get as much strength as I could to pull away and I managed to move my hand about half an inch, the guy with the iron bar came over and held my whole arm still and the screwdriver was pushed deeper and deeper. My hand was burning from the pain and I tried to stop the yelling but I couldn't, I needed to vent the pain out somehow. The nail fell off and onto the floor.

"Daryl!"

That was Beth's voice.

She obviously heard me yelling and was worried about me, I wanted to call out to her, just tell her I was ok but I couldn't. The pain I felt was so intense that I couldn't speak. My hand felt like it was on fire and the blood was pouring out and all over the floor and my broken ribs hurt with every breath.

"Do what you want t' me," I breathed out through clenched teeth "Please don't hurt her... no matter what he tells you t' do," I pleaded with him as he stood up and dropped the blood covered screwdriver to the floor.

"Daryl!" Beth called out again, this time in more panic.

"I'm here!" I called with what strength I could muster but it hurt to so bad to breath, but I wanted to let her know I was close by, maybe it wouldn't make her as scared if she knew I was close.

I'm glad I can hear her, I'm glad she's close by. I'm still worried about being separated from her. I don't like the fact that she could be alone with that psycho; I don't like the idea of him alone with her doing whatever he wanted with no one to stop him. I'm not stupid, Beth is a pretty young girl and there are not many of them around these days. Men like The Governor will do whatever he can to get her to talk, I know what he probably wants to do to her but I pray she doesn't have to go through that. It would kill me if she had to go through that and I wasn't there to protect her or stop it from happening.

The two henchmen were standing by the door whispering about something, they both looked a little uneasy and I think it was because they didn't wanna go and tell The Governor that they failed in getting the information out of me that they wanted. They were going to have to come up with something else or go and meet their fates.

"Please, jus' don't hurt her." I pleaded again.

That was Chapter 6!

I hope you all enjoyed that. The next chapter is going to be intense and may have some similarities to some scenes in the TV Series but I have put my own take on them. I really enjoyed writing this chapter and really hope you guys enjoyed reading it.

Please follow, favourite and review if you did! The next chapter will be posted Sunday. It's all written and ready to go but I just want to give you guys some time for this chapter to sink in before I give you the next one.

Thank you as always!
