Hello!

Thank you all so much for all the positive reactions to the last chapter. I am so glad that you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. This chapter is going to be really intense and it is going to show what Daryl and Beth will do for their family and for each other.

As I stated at the end of the last chapter, there may be some similarities in scenes that are from the TV Series but I have made them my own. I hope you like them and I can't wait to hear your views.

Home Is With You: Chapter 7

Beth
I haven't heard a single sound come out of Daryl's room next door for a while and I'm getting worried about him, we managed to call out to each other and we spoke really briefly but I knew he was alive and I promised him that I was ok, he sounded like he was in pain and I just hope to God that he doesn't have any injuries that are serious or life threatening and they are injuries that will heal up quickly and he can be back to normal. If we are going to have any chance of getting out of here then I'm going to need Daryl, I can't do it on my own.

Of course, I'm hoping that everyone at the prison has figured out something is wrong and I hope they are on their way to help us out of this hellhole but if Daryl and I are on our own in our escape then I need him. It was times like this when I wish that I was as strong as Maggie, she wouldn't be freaking out like I am, she would be preparing and planning and she would be fighting back but I'm not as strong as her and I'm worried that it's going to be get someone hurt, someone I love.

I don't want The Governor to find out about the prison and everyone there but I don't know if I can hold out as long as Daryl will and I know I certainly wouldn't be able to hold out as much as Maggie would but I'm going to do my best, they're my family and I love them. I will try and take whatever is thrown at me here to keep them all safe.

The door opened and Daryl was dragged through with two men holding him up, he was groaning in pain and I noticed the dried blood on his left hand as he came in. I gasped in shock when he looked up at me and I saw the pain in his face, he smiled softly at me and I smiled back.

The two men placed Daryl in the chair opposite me and tied him to it the stood beside him, ready to stop him doing anything they didn't want him to. We just stared at each other, I hope he can see that I'm ok... I'm not hurt like him. They've really done a number on him and I'm worried that he's going to have some permanent damage, what the hell have they done to him?!

The Governor came and stood behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders "Now, I'm done playing games... I'm going to ask you some questions and if you don't answer them... well, you don't want that," He said to Daryl.

He was going to get Daryl to tell him everything by using me.

"Now tell me... how many people are in your group?" He asked.

I shook my head at Daryl, begging him with my eyes not to tell him. I will take the punishment.

"No?" The Governor questioned and took his large knife out of its sheath; I held my breath as I waited for whatever was going to happen next.

The Governor cut my shirt off me, leaving me in my white bra. Daryl looked so angry, like his veins were going to pop out of his head. He started to struggle against his restraints but was punched in the face for his trouble.

"Answer me or her bra goes too," He wanted.

"Daryl, don't say anything," I stated and he looked me at me like I had three heads "Don't tell him... don't give in," I pleaded.

"C'mon Daryl, you don't want me to strip your woman do you? Do you think it will stop at me just taking her clothes off? Do you want to see how far I will go to get the information I want?" The Governor questioned as he hovered the knife over my bra strap, ready to cut it.

"It's ok Daryl... I'll be ok," I promised.

"Do you want me to do this Daryl?"

"Stop it!" Daryl yelled louder than he ever had before. His face was bright red from a mix of anger and pain, he wanted to protect me from everything and he wanted to be able to control that but now, his hands were literally tied. He couldn't do anything about what was happening and it was killing him.

"We're not going to tell you anything so just do what you have to do, just don't make him watch it. That's in humane," I said.

"What don't you want me to know about your group? You hiding the Queen of England or something?" He asked as he kneeled down in front of me, placing his hands on my thighs.

"Get your filthy hands off her!" Daryl shouted and again started fighting his restraints.

"Shut him up," The Governor said quietly and calmly, his eyes never leaving mine.

Daryl was hit in the chest was an iron bar, knocking the wind out of him and he coughed as he tried to get his breath back.

"Leave him alone," I warned.

"Ooo... you're a fighter," He said in amazement as he strokes his index finger down my cheek. I pulled my head away from him and gave him a look of disgust.

"Unite me and we'll see how brave you are," Daryl growled at The Governor.

"Give us three a minute." He said to his henchmen and they left, we heard the lock click seconds later.

The Governor smirked at Daryl before coming to stand behind me again. His hands rested on my shoulders and I shuddered from disgust. It made me feel sick that someone else's hands were on me, I didn't like the idea of it.

He got his knife again and this time he cut my bra off. It fell down into my lap and tears pooled in my eyes, I have to be strong, I have to be strong. I keep telling myself, for Daryl more than anyone. I can't allow him to see me hurt or in distress, it will do neither of us any good.

The Governor put his palms on my shoulders and let his fingers fall over my chest, they didn't touch my breasts but they were close. I wanted nothing more than to be free of this chair to cover them. I didn't want anyone in this room, apart from Daryl, to be looking at them and thinking about them.

"My God... you really are a woman," The Governor whispered to me, his lips so close to my ear I could feel the warmth of his breath and I wanted to be sick.

He removed his hands and cut the ties off me once again. He forced me to stand up, I watched Daryl as his face changed, and he didn't look like Daryl anymore. His eyes were dark and his face was tensed, he was breathing but it was such small breaths it was hard to see his chest moving... he's turned the corner and he is pissed. If he gets out of his restraints, he will kill everyone single handily.

Daryl studied me and I smiled softly to try and tell him that I was ok.

I felt The Governor behind me and my body tensed. His rough and eager hands started on my shoulders and slid down my back until they hit the top of my jeans. I sucked in a breath as he forcibly pushed me down face first onto the table, my face hit it hard and Daryl flinched. He pushed himself against my backside and I let the few tears I had drop down my face.

"I swear to God, you better let go of her or so help me God I will destroy you," Daryl warmed in a quiet tone, a scary tone.

"I'm having too much fun here with her," He argued and bent over me and placed a kiss on my shoulder.

I wasn't going to allow this to happen.

I used my hands to push myself up; it threw him off guard and off balance, only for a second but that was all I needed. I head butted him and then pushed him into the wall. I picked my chair up and threw it at him. He fell to his knees and I stood over him, I wanted him to plead with me. I picked up the knife from where he dropped it but before I could do anything else with it, he jumped from the floor and tackled me. I hit the ground hard with a groan.

"Beth!" Daryl shouted.

I turned to look at him as a fist landed in my face. I looked at The Governor and saw his rage, he had a cut on the bridge of his nose from where I head butted him and there was blood running down his face. As he tackled me I dropped the knife and he had managed to get it.

The Governor stood up and stood over me; I cried and started pleading with him. He turned like he was going to walk away but he didn't, he booted me in my ribs and I rolled over on the floor. I curled myself up into as small a target as possible as he continued to hit me and then when I thought it was over his boot landed on my head.

Daryl
Beth passed out instantly and I tried to use all the strength I had to even loosen the ties but it was no good. I was stuck to this chair as Beth lay half naked and unconscious on the floor, The Governor smirked at me like he had won something, he hasn't won anything because when I get out of these ties, I'm going to kill him and I'm going to do it so painfully and drag it out for so long that he will plead for death, that I promise.

The door opened once more and it was the same guys that had been in here before, The Governor nodded towards me and they stood me up. I tried fighting them but I was so hurt and they were stronger then me right now so I didn't win, they just dragged me out of the room as I called for Beth but she didn't wake up to me. I was hoping my voice might wake her up but I didn't, I didn't want The Governor in there with her unconscious and half naked, there were so many things he could do to her and she couldn't even fight back.

I was thrown back into my room and before I had the chance to try and throw a punch I was pushed back into the chair and hit on the legs to make it hard to get up. They tied my wrists back up again before leaving, I was sick of being tied up like a wild animal in here and I'm not playing no more. He touched Beth; he went over the invisible line. Kidnapping her is one thing but to cut her clothes off her to make her half naked and insinuate you're going to rape her... I'm not letting this guy win. I know he's using her to get answers to believe me I nearly folded and told him everything but Beth wouldn't want me to do that so for now, I have to be as strong as she is but I will get my chance.

From Beth's room next door I could hear nothing but silence and it scared me. I don't know what happened when I left the room.

Did he beat her some more?

Is he raping her?
Is she in there on her own?

Is she even alive?

I don't know what the hell is happening in there and that's scarier then being in the room and witnessing everything that's happening. I just hope that Beth is ok and all she has is some small injuries that will heal up quickly, I can't even begin to understand what she was feeling when he cut her shirt and bra off... she looked terrified, especially when he pushed himself against her and practically threw her on the table. There was nothing I could do, it killed me knowing that he could've raped her right then and there and I would've been able to do nothing but watch.

I will get her out of this.

Rick
I know that people can be worse than walkers, at least with the walkers you know what they want from you but with people, it's a whole different story. I don't trust many people right now but this woman, Michonne, she calls herself, and there is something about her that makes me think that she can be trusted. I don't really know what happened. She just appeared at the gate with a damn Katana on her back and asked me if we had 2 people missing, how she knew I don't know but she described Daryl and Beth down to a T, then she told me where we could find them. Woodbury.

There is a man that runs the place, calls himself The Governor, and according to Miss Katana, he's an evil bastard and she told us that if he had our people we had to act quickly to get them back. Of course everyone thought it might be a trap but I believed her so we made a plan, she was going to take us to this Woodbury place and she told us where Daryl and Beth are likely to be held. I asked her if she was going to join us but she said she had something to do when she got there. I offered her a place in our group if she wanted it, she didn't seem sure if she did but I extended the olive branch.

"You really think we can trust her?" Maggie asked me for the 100th time as we loaded up the car.

"Yes I do," I replied for the 100th time "Call it cops instinct, she's telling us the truth. If she can help bring Daryl and Beth back... she can be a part of this group, this world is no good to those who are alone," I told her.

"I swear if this Governor guy has hurt one hair on my sisters' head, I will kill him," Maggie warned.

"Daryl's with her, he's protective. He'll do what he can to keep her safe." I promised and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

So... as you can probably guess I have changed things a little bit when it comes to Michonne, Andrea and Merle. Now don't worry. Although we haven't come across Merle and Andrea, doesn't mean we won't come across them in the future... I have something fun planned for that!

I really hope you enjoyed this chapter; this has to be one of my favourites so far I think... I'm sure I say that for every chapter... anyway, thank you for still reading and still sticking with it! It really does mean the world to me.

Please do not forget to follow, favourite and review if you haven't already!
