Sorry for not uploading for a while, I planned to then my computer completely broke and I couldn't figure out how to upload from my ipod. I know this took a while but I hope it was worth the wait. Please review and let me know what you think, and I got a review I have been not sure if I should reply to it or not but it was a guest saying about how Maggie was put down for nothing thinking of Beth but Beth didn't think of Maggie and I would like to say that yes in my story Beth hasn't thought of Maggie a lot at the moment but she will at the moment she is worried about getting back to Daryl because she saw him alive last and he is her best bet to get back to the prison group and not to mention she knows he needs someone with him more than her sister would. Now that I got that out of the way onto the story and please enjoy.
Beth kept running through the forest know she had to get as far from the walkers and the people that kidnapped her as possible, and also try and get back to her family, and Daryl. She knew he needed her and that he already told her that he wouldn't do well on his own. She knew that it was more than likely that all the other members of the group from the prison wrote her off as dead the moment that they left the prison that is if they even thought about her and weren't more worried about their family or other members of the group, Beth wasn't stupid she knew that in the prison she faded into the shadows and went unnoticed most times. No one had ever asked her for her opinion or asked her for help to clear the fences unless everyone was busy or the fences got backed up. While it hurt her when she thought about it she remembered that her dad would tell her everyone has jobs to do and taking care of the kids was her job, and now her job was to make her she stayed alive long enough to get back to the group.
Beth barely even noticed when she stumbled out of the forest and saw train tracks cut through the forest. She prayed that these were still the same train track her and Daryl saw after leaving the prison because that meant she wasn't taken completely out of the area and her chances of finding her family had just greatly increased. She looked both ways across the tracks and saw what looked like a sign waving on a small little building and walked over that way.
She made her way over to the sign and the building and turned to see full on the side of the building she was heading towards and almost stumbled backwards at the words written in blood across the side of the building under the banner. There is was a large sign in her face, living proof that Daryl and herself weren't the only two to survive the attack at the prison. Her sister, Bob, and Sasha were also survivors of the attack and made it to the spot she was now standing at, she looked up at the banner that read TERMINUS, THOSE WHO ARRIVE, SURVIVE. The Daryl like voice in her head screamed that it was a lie, a trap, another Woodbury, to run as far away from there as fast as she could, but by her sister's signs it was exactly where she was headed. She slow took the few steps forward to where she was right in front of the build and reached toward to touch the letters her sister took time out of her journey to write out. Beth pushed back her tears, know her sister was out there, while it was a huge relief to her it was also extremely stressful as the sign was telling her that she head off straight into what her head deemed a trap.
Beth pushed herself back from the sign looking it over again and felt a pain budding throughout her chest as her brain finally registered that only Glenn's name was written on the message only his name was there telling him where Maggie was headed and telling him to follow. Where was her sign telling her to head to Terminus after Maggie. Hell it would have really only taking maybe a few extra minutes to even add her name to this sign yet it still was absent. While she knew other may have wrote her off as dead it hurt that her own sister wrote her off and couldn't spare her a few extra minutes and space to put her name beside Glenn's. The tears she fought off where now freely paving a way down her cheeks cutting through the dirt and sweat that had been stuck to her face. She had prayed for Maggie to be alive and for them to find there way back, she had even tried to track her with her limited knowledge, hell she even faced Daryl's anger in fights over tracking her down only to now have it shoved in her face that she was apparently the last thing in her sister's mind, she had been casted aside by her only living relative and believed to be dead. The longer she stood there staring at the sign the more the pain spread in her chest and the saddest set in making her stomach curl and her feel like her body was going to physically break into pieces under all this feeling.
Through her inner pain she felt something grab onto her hair and was violently shoved against the building. She slowly come back to her surrounding and realized that the lack of growling and the fact that she hasn't already been bitten makes it lean more towards the attacker being a human, and she felt her heart rate skyrocket as a body pressed against her and pressed her tight against the building and warm breath spread across her neck.
"Thought you could outsmart us did you? Well know you are stuck between a rock and a hard place…" she heard the voice of one smaller kidnapper say from right behind her as goosebumps rose on her arms and legs as the terror of the situation set in. Daryl's words from the cabin came back to haunt her as she realized she really was never going to see Maggie or anyone else from the group again if this man had his way.
"We had to split up to be sure we but in the end I got you and you will be begging to die by the time I am done with you. Then I get the honor of killing you myself, since the rule is whoever finds them gets them…" He said pressing her tighter against the building and the message she had just been staring out and she let out a groan of pain. The tears started again when she felt one of his hands begin to feel her up, and her body jerked trying to put space between her and the man's hand. She was once again shoved roughly against the building as the man chuckled. The knife she had hooked to her belt suddenly come to the center of her mind as it hit her hip and was never more happy that she had taken and claimed that knife as her own. She took a breath in relief and slowly reached down and pulled it from her holster that went Daryl grabbed because it would fit the knife and around her waist. She slowly pulled the knife out trying not to alert the man behind her of the moment.
Beth took a deep breath trying to remain calm and ignore the demeaning comments that the man was saying to her as she tried to form any plan. She could scream but that would only draw in walkers and Terminus was probably too far away to hear and get there before this man killed her. That pretty much only left her with having to fight him off on her own. She began to squirm trying to get some room to fight this guy off. The grip he had on her hair tighten and he slammed her head of the building which caused her vision to fill with black spots and her legs to grow weak and give out as they felt like jelly. She felt his arms shift to hold her up and she knew this was her only chance as she had shocking managed to keep a grip on her knife. She was being dragged backwards before she could find her footing and she twisted trying to catch her attacker with the knife, she had luckily caught him in the outer thigh and she hit the ground as he released her to hold his wound that still had her knife stuck in it. She heard his screams fill the air and sound the dinner bell for all the walkers in the area. He gripped the knife and began to try and pull it out.
"Bitch! You fucking stabbed me!" He yelled at her as she lunged forward and grabbed the knife just as he ripped it from his leg and began to fight her for control over it. She fumbled some trying not to roll around on the ground and she managed to overpower him in his weakened state after she had gotten to her knees and pull the knife from his hands. During all of this it lead to blood covering her clothes from his open wound and it even got across her face and into her hair. The man gripped the wound as blood poured from between his fingers and he released a long string of cruse words. From the blood pouring from the wound Beth knew the knife hit something and he was going to bleed out, if he being a herd of walkers upon himself and get eaten first. Beth slowly scooted back from him and stood up as her brain processed the scene before her, she knew that he was a bad man and planned to do unmentionable things to her in cold blood and while he may have no problem to leave her there to bleed to death or be eaten by walkers she couldn't leave him to that faith. She had to put him down so he wouldn't become a walker, she hoped that if this happened to her that someone would put her down before she turned instead of letting her die slowly. She heard growls coming from the forest and moved over to the man that was no longer struggling and she bend down and closed her eyes and shoved the knife through his head and felt the tears start again as she pulled the knife out and wiped it across her pants as she got to her feet and looked around to see where the least amount of walkers were and start in that direction. As she ran she knew that this direct carried her farther away from Terminus and her sister.
A/N: There you go, I promise to try and update more but I will probably be slowed once school starts again. I will try and I do have several ideas on where this is going, but if you have any ideas about the story that you want added feel free to pm me and let me know.
