As the two sisters rode, they came across a big dark castle. It didn't look right. It look scary.
"What is this place?" Maggie asked.
"I don't know." Beth said nervously.
What on earth has Nelly taken us to? Beth thought as she and Maggie got off of the horse.
"Beth! Look!" Maggie exclaimed as she pointed at an object.
They opened the gate and immediately Beth felt panic rush through her body as she picked up her father's hat!
"Daddy."
"You just couldn't keep quiet. You just had to give the old man a place to stay, serve him tea, let him sit in Daryl's chair, pet the damn dog." Abraham huffed.
"I was just trying to be nice." Glenn argued.
Beth and Maggie looked up at the dark castle.
"This must be where daddy is. He probably got lost and found this place and they gave him a place to stay so he wouldn't freeze." Beth said hopeful.
"I hope your right Bethy." Maggie said as they walked up to the large doors and pushed them open. The room was big and dark. It didn't feel right. Beth took Maggie's hand as they walked in.
"Hello? Is anybody here. Hello? Daddy where are you?" Beth asked quietly as they walked.
"Daddy?" Maggie asked as they walked.
"Mom! There's two girls in the castle!" Sophia exclaimed as trotted her way to her mother.
"Now Sophia, please don't make up such stories." Carol said gently to her daughter.
"But for real mom, I saw her." Sophia exclaimed trying to get her mother to believe her.
"Come on get in the tub." Carol said as she gently nudged Sophia in the tub for her bath.
"Carol! I saw two girls in the castle!" Rosita a cheetah exclaimed.
"I told ya." Sophia said with a smirk.
"You irresponsable, pain in the ass fur eared-!"
Before Abraham could finish his insult they heard a voice.
"Daddy."
They look up to see two girls walking in the hallway.
"Did you see that? Girls!" Glenn exclaimed excitedly.
"I know they are girls Glenn." Abraham said annoyed.
"Don't you see?! One of them is the one! The one to break the spell!" Glenn exclaimed as he raced after the girls with glee.
"Wait! Glenn! Let's not get to excited!" Abraham called after him.
"Daddy? Daddy?" Beth whispered as she held Maggie's hand.
"This place gives me the creeps." Maggie said nervously.
"Me too." Beth whispered back.
All the sudden a light appears.
"Hey wait!" Beth exclaimed as she ran after the light.
"Beth!"
"Please wait! I'm here with my sister and we are looking for our father-"
All the sudden the light disappears.
Maggie catches up to her.
"Beth don't run off like that."
"I could've sworn there was someone there." Beth said confused.
Unaware of Glenn holding a lantern.
"Hello?" Beth called.
"Beth?" Hershel wheezed out.
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
Beth and Maggie ran to their father and took each hand.
"Maggie? How did you girls find me?" Hershel asked as he coughed.
"Oh Daddy, your hands are like ice." Beth said with worry.
"He's sick. We have to get you out of here daddy." Maggie cried.
"You two need to leave now." Hearsal said sternly.
"We won't leave you!" Beth cried.
Suddenly, Beth felt a huge hand on her shoulder and felt herself being thrown across the floor.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
"BETH!" Maggie shouted.
"RUN! NOW!" Hershel shouted.
"Who's there? Who the hell are you?" Beth asked franticly.
"The master of this castle." Daryl growled.
Maggie glared.
"We have came for our father. Please let him go, can't you see he's sick?" Beth begged.
"THEN HE SHOULDN'T HAVE TRESPASSED HERE!" Daryl shouted.
"You cold hearted-" Maggie spat but was interrupted by Beth.
"He could die! We'll do anything!" Beth pleaded but Daryl still refused.
"There is nothing you can do. He's my prisoner."
"Oh there must be something." Beth thought hard until she came up with a daunting.
"Take me instead."
"No." Maggie whispered.
"You...you would take his place?" Daryl asked.
"Beth no! You don't know what you're doing." Hershel begged trying to get her to change her mind.
"If I did, would you let him go? And would you let my sister go to?" Beth asked not listening to Hershel.
"Yes. But you must promise to stay here forever." Daryl growled.
"Beth. Don't do this alone. I'll stay with you." Maggie said to her sister.
"No Maggie not you too!" Hershel cried.
"No Maggie. You have your life ahead of you. I'll be fine." Beth said as she held her sister's hand.
"Beth. I won't leave you." Maggie said sternly.
"Maggie please." Beth begged. But Maggie wouldn't listen as she turned to Daryl.
"I'll stay too."
"Fine."
Beth wanted to know what their captor looked like since he was still in the shadows.
"Come into the light."
Daryl slowly stepped out of shadows to reveal his wolf like self.
He had black fur, sharp teeth, sharp claws,
Beth and Maggie gasped. Beth and Maggie ran to their father
"No Beth, Maggie I won't let you two do this!" Hershel shouted.
Beth looked at her father and sucked in her breathe. She walked up to the wolf creature.
"You have my word."
"Done!" Daryl said quickly.
Beth put her face in her hands as she collapsed to the ground as Daryl unlocked the cell.
"Beth, Maggie. listen to me I'm old I've lived my life." Hershel said franticly but Daryl grabbed him and dragged him away.
"WAIT!" Beth called.
"NO!" Maggie shouted.
"BETH! MAGGIE!" Hershel shouted as he and Maggie reached out for Beth.
"WAIT!" Beth called again but Daryl just ignored her.
Daryl dragged Hershel outside to a wagon.
"Please, spare my daughters." Hershel begged.
"They are no longer your concern!" Daryl roared as he threw him into the wagon.
"Take him to the village!" Daryl ordered. The wagon got up and walked away with Hershel inside.
"Please! Let me out! Please! Please!" he screamed as the wagon carried him away.
Beth and Maggie watched through the window holding each other as they cried and sobbed knowing they will never see their father again.
Daryl walked up the tower stairs huffing.
"Master?" Glenn chirped.
"What?!" Daryl barked as he turned to him.
"Since those girls are going to be staying with us for awhile I thought maybe it would be nice if you gave them more comfortable room especially the blonde one I think she is-"
Daryl interrupted him by growling in his face.
"Then again. Maybe not."
Daryl walked up to the dungeon to check on those girls to find them holding each other sobbing.
"You didn't let us say good bye. We'll never see him again." Beth sobbed as she held Maggie close.
"We didn't get to say good bye."
Daryl hung his head. He felt terrible.
She was right. He didn't even let them say good bye to their father.
He might as well go with Glenn's advice and give them rooms.
"Me and my servant Glenn will show you two to your rooms."
"Our rooms?" Maggie asked with puffy red eyes as she looked up.
"But I thought we-" Beth sniffled.
"You want to stay in the tower?" Daryl asked annoyed.
"No." Beth answered.
"Then follow me."
Beth and Maggie got up and followed.
As Daryl and Glenn led Beth and Maggie to their rooms, Beth looked around the castle. It was creepy and it had a unsettling feeling. She was glad she was able to save her father but at the same time. She was afraid. I mean she and her sister are being held captive by a huge wolf like monster for crying out loud.
They stop all of the sudden.
"Maggie this your room." Daryl said in deep wolf voice.
Maggie turned to Beth and hugged her. Knowing they probably won't see each other for awhile. Beth felt Maggie's tears on her shoulder. Beth knew Maggie was scared too and she doesn't get scared that easily.
"Be strong ok." Beth whispered to Maggie trying her best to comfort her.
Maggie nodded as they pulled apart. She walked into her room.
"I hope you like it here Maggie. You can go wherever you want in the castle except the west wing." Daryl said with warning in his voice.
Maggie nodded not looking at him. She didn't notice Glenn who was staring at her with big starstruck eyes from behind Daryl.
She's beautiful. Glenn thought.
Daryl closed the door of Maggie's room and turned to Beth. He motioned her to follow.
As they walked, Daryl turned to her. She had tears streaming down her eyes.
"Say something to her." Glenn whispered. Daryl cleared his throat.
"I...hope you like it here."
Beth looked up as she whipped away the tears.
"The castle is you and your sister's home now so you can go anywhere you like. Except for the West Wing."
"What's in the-"
"IT'S FORBIDDEN!" Daryl shouted as he cut her off.
Beth stepped back a bit from the loudness in his voice.
They finally reached a room. Daryl opened the door for her.
"This is your room. Now if you need anything. My servants will attend you."
"Dinner. Invite her to dinner." Glenn whispered.
"You will join me for dinner. THAT'S NOT A REQUEST!" Daryl shouted as he slammed the door leaving Beth shocked, scared and traumatized.
Not only was she separated from her father and her sister and is being held captive by a hideous wolf like beast, she was being forced to join that monster for dinner against her will!
She dropped to her knees and she began to sing.
Beth: yes I made the choice, for daddy I will stay.
But that doesn't mean I deserve to lose my freedom in this way
You-
"YOU MONSTER!" Beth shouted at the closed door with tears in her eyes.
She continued to sing.
Beth: if you think what you've done is right, well then
You're a fool!
Think again!
Is this home?
Is this where I should learn to be happy?
Never dreamed
That a home could be dark and cold
I was told
Everyday in my childhood
Even when you grow old
Home will be where your heart is
Never were those words so true!
My heart's far, far away
Home is too.
Is this home
Is this what I must learn to believe in?
Try to find
Something good in this tragic place
Just in case
I should stay here forever
Held in this empty place
Oh, but it won't be easy
I know the reason why
My heart's far, far away
Home's a lie
What I'd give to return
To the life that I knew lately
But I know I can't
Solve my problem going back
Is this home?
Am I here for a day or forever?
Shut away
From the world until who knows when
Oh, but then
As my life has been altered once
It can change again
Build higher walls around me
Change every lock and key
Beth walks up to the window to look at the snowy night as she finishes.
Beth: nothing lasts, nothing lasts
All of me
My heart's far, far away
Home...and...free.
As Beth finishes the song, she threw herself on the bed and cries hard.
Knowing she and her sister will probably never be free.
