A/N: Hey guys, i know it's been a while. I got a new laptop for Christmas and have been transitioning all my stuff over to it, so it's taking a while. I'm also in the midst of finishing high school and working on university stuff, which takes up a fair bit of time. But try to bear with me! I'll try to update as often as I can now. Sorry again for the lack of updates! I'll try and make it up to my loyal readers, you guys are the best. 3

Daryl POV

Daryl was alone.

He was lost. Beth was gone - and he was beginning to think there was no way to find her. He thought there was even less of a chance of finding the rest of the prison group. He didn't have a clue in hell where they could be.

It was the first time Daryl had been alone - truly alone - since the outbreak. Sure, he went off hunting by himself at Dale's old camp out in Atlanta and kept to himself mostly everywhere else the group ended up - but there were always people around. Always some sort of noise. But now? It was just Daryl and the silence.

"What have you got yourself into this time Greene," he muttered for about the thousandth time. The need to get to the bottom of this was slowly driving Daryl crazy. Where could they - whoever they were - have taken Beth? He needed to find out.

Not wanting to stray far from the main road, Daryl kept on following the direction in which he thought the kidnappers had taken Beth. It was hard to say if they had gone this way or in a complete opposite direction. Daryl couldn't find anything that would give them away.

Around noon, he decided to take a break. He had been walking all night, and now the hot sun was beating down on him. He found a small little village - or the outskirts of an old town, he couldn't tell - just a few miles on and he decided to break into one of the houses. After turning up nothing in the way of supplies, food or water, he laid down on the old dusty couch and began to close his eyes. Daryl soon drifted off to sleep.

He woke up, hours later, to a shotgun being pointed at his face.

Beth POV

Beth was furious. The various freaks, as she liked to now call them, kept poking her and prodding her. Why was she so important? She was just a plain girl. She didn't know what these people wanted with her.

"Get up." The female police officer - if you could call her that - told Beth, shoving her off the bed she was resting on. "You have chores to do."

After being dragged down the hall, Beth was presented with an array of cleaning supplies. She was instructed to clean the whole floor, top to bottom. She tried to resist, but was hit by the police officer until she began her 'chores'.

"She's clearly too strong," she heard someone say as she was about to round the corner to another hallway. She paused, listening. "We'll be better off doing this."

"We can't just trade her - she's one of the stronger subjects!" another voice - Beth identified as the female police officer - hissed in protest. She poked her head around the corner and saw the woman talking to a taller male, also dressed in a police uniform.

"Think about it. We'll be better off with a bunch of supplies - the kid's probably worth a ton - than an insolent teenage subject who puts up a fight every time we try to run the tests." This piqued Beth's curiosity - were they planning to trade a patient to someone for supplies?

"It's because she doesn't understand! Beth's new. She doesn't understand that we're trying to create a cure here. I'm not giving her to that crew. She's ours." Wait - her? They were going to trade her? To who? And for what supplies? But most importanrtly, why were they trading another human being?

Beth heard a short scuffle. "Listen." The male was speaking again, more angry this time. Beth looked around the corner once again, and saw that the male now had the female pinned against the wall in a threatening stance. "The rest of us think it's best. Call the Bandits, and make the trade. We want her gone in two days."

A/N Alright so i tried to give you guys a few cliffhangers, i hope you enjoyed them! I felt bad for leaving this story for so long, so i did some from Beth and Daryl's perspective, instead of just the one. I'll try to update within the next two weeks! Let me know what you guys think, feedback is always appreciated :)
