***Daryl's POV***
Beth and I ran through the woods outside of the prison, walkers on our tails. She was a few feet behind me and I looked back every few seconds to make sure she was still there. I turned around and saw a walker comin' up behind her and she tried to shoot it, but she was out of bullets. I shot the fucker right in the head and knocked down a few more before we started runnin' again.
We ran into a field with tall grass, and followed behind the girl. We stopped for a few second to catch out breaths before we started again. We ran a few more meters before we collapsed on the ground, lookin' up at the birds circling around in the sky.
We laid there for another few minutes before walkin' across the rest of the field and we made a fire. Beth and I were silent. I sat across from here, the fire between us, looking at a picture of Violet with Colt and Jamie. I kept this picture in my pocket at all times. I always made sure it was there throughout the day, and now, I'm thankful I did.
I hope they're alive. I should've kept Jamie with me. Instead, I had him run off with Carl. Not that I don't trust the kid. Vi and Colt could be dead. They all could be dead. It's most likely that Beth and I are the only ones left.
"We should do something." Beth whispered. "We should do something. We aren't the only survivors. We can't be. Rick, Michonne, they could be out here. Maggie and Glenn could have made it out of A block. They could've. Violet, Jamie, Colt. They could be all alone out here."
I just sat there, watching the fire. Doing my best to ignore her.
"You're a tracker. You can track. Come on. The sun will be up soon. If we head out now we can... Fine! If you won't track, I will." Beth grabbed my hunting knife and walked towards the woods.
I stood up slowly and put out the fire I made and grabbed my crossbow before following the girl. Throughout the morning we walked in the woods, looking for tracks people made. It wasn't until early morning I found something. I went down on one knee and moved some leaves away to get a good look.
"Could be Luke's. Or Molly's." Beth said from behind me, "Whoever they are, it means they're alive."
"No. This means they were alive four or five hours ago." I corrected.
"They're alive." Beth snapped before walking away.
We followed the trail into a bunch of grape vines and I saw a few squashed grapes on the ground, "They picked up the pace right here. Got out in a hurry. Things went bad."
"Wouldn't kill you to have a little faith." Beth commented.
"Yeah, faith. Faith ain't done shit for us." I replied. "Sure as hell didn't do nothin' for your father."
If Violet was here, she would've smacked me upside the head and force me to apologize. But she ain't here, so I didn't have to.
I turned around to look at Beth's pissed of glare. I turned back around and I heard her put her knife away and I saw her picking grapes.
"They'll be hungry when we find them." Beth said.
I grabbed my bandana from my back pocket and held it out for her. She took it and put the grapes inside. Once she was done we continued. A few minutes later we found dead walkers and there was blood on the surrounding leaves.
"What?"
"That ain't walker blood." I answered.
"The trail keeps going." Beth said and she continued walking, "They fought them off."
"No. Got walker tracks all up and down here. At least a dozen of them." I replied.
We heard a branch snap and I heard Beth take out the knife. I looked around and then a walker jumped out of the woods and went behind Beth. She struggled and moved around and I couldn't get a good aim on the head. So I dropped my crossbow and pinned the thing to the ground while Beth got her knife and stabbed it in the head. I stood up and grabbed my crossbow, "Come on."
We soon found railroad tracks and saw walkers feeding on people. I shot two of them in the head before grabbing an arrow and stabbing the last one. Beth started crying and I looked back at her before walking down the train tracks. I stopped and waited for her to catch up. Once she did we walked for hours longer before stopping for the night. We went into the woods for cover and started a fire.
I listened to Beth, though. I do have faith. I have believe that I will find my family again. I'm gonna find my kids, my girl, Rick, Carl, Michonne, Maggie, Glenn. Everyone. I was gonna find them.
