Late update :( Sorry about that, but i wont be updating my stories as frequently anymore. Been super busy.

So here it is! Enjoy! :D

The grass was wet with dew and it began seeping into the holes in my shoes, making my socks and feet wet. I rubbed my teeth together. It was annoying, the wetness of my feet. It got right under my skin as i heard the squishing noises as i walked. I sighed out loud and was tugged hard by one of the men who was watching me. His hand was wrapped around my arm keeping me up to pace with everyone. His hand on my arm bloody annoyed me aswell. I wish he would just let go, not like i could run anywhere.

I didn't feel scared right now. My heart was beating at a normal pace and my breathing was steady, what i did feel was nervous. I felt nervous for the situation we was in, but not scared. They kept Daryl and I apart as we walked, and i hated that. I wanted to talk to him, or even just let make eye contact. But he was slightly behind me and couldn't see him. What was we going to do to get out of this situation? I thought about the night was was closing in on us, what was going to happen to me at the night without Daryl's protection? Would any of them try anything on me? I shivered at the thought. But yet, i still wasn't scared. I felt nothing.

"Split up." The main guy said, Joe. He dropped his bag of supplies and looked back to the rest of us. "Lets hunt before we set out. We're going to need to need our energy." The man by me walked away and left me by myself. It didn't make a difference. Even if i tried to run they would notice before i got 2 feet away. I bit my lip and looked back at Daryl. He was on his own too, but he didn't look at me. I followed his gaze and saw that he was looking at the bag that had just been dropped on the floor. What was he thinking?

"All of you go huntin'. I'll stay here and talk to these two." Joe said and nodded in our direction. I slowly walked closer to Daryl as everyone parted and left us 3 alone. Daryl finally looked at me, but his eyes revealed nothing. It was like he was as hollow as i felt.

"Why don't you come and join me?" Joe said. We did as he asked, like we had a choice. Daryl neared me as we walked. I felt better with him by my side.

We sat on the floor and Joe handed us a bottle of water. I guzzled mine, the thirst in the back of my throat was agonizing. The water was coldish, but not as cold as i used to have mine back at home before all this began. Isn't it strange what you take for granted, and only when life is completely changed do you realize the small things that you miss.

"So here's the thing." Joe began. "We want you to be apart of our team, not prisoners. If you'd just go ahead with our plan then no harm will come to you."

"What is your plan exactly?" Daryl asked, dropping his half empty bottle on the floor next to him. I wanted to take his and drink it aswell, but i knew that was just greedy.

Joe gave a little grin before speaking. "We've been watching terminus. They aren't the sanctuary they claim to be." He said, his voice hoarse and bored sounding. I leaned into him a little, watching his body language and facial expressions, trying to see if he was lying about anything.

"Explain." I said, finding my voice.

Joe looked at me, as if he forgot i was even there. Nice to know how insignificant i really am. But of course, i knew they only had me here to use as bait when it came to Daryl. That was really the only reason i was still breathing right now i guess. "They act as if they can help you, when in reality they don't want to help you but more like use you. We don't know for sure what they're plan is, but they lure people in with false hope and then capture them. They took a few people while we was watching. Hid them in these containers. We don't know what they plan to do with them, but my guess is it isn't good." He picked up a twig from the floor and began rolling it between is fingers. What he just said caught my attention. People, he saw other people. I glanced at Daryl and he glanced back at me, his eyes tried to tell me something but i didn't care. I was too full on hope of the possibilities that this brought.

I couldn't help myself. "Did you see a Korean man, black hair, mid 20's." I decided to describe Glenn first and he was the most noticeable.

Joe looked at me hard before answering. "Yes. He was in the group."

"And women with him, shoulder length brown hair, mid 20's?"

Joe spat on the floor. "I don't know doll. But i defiantly saw a man who fits that description." Of course, Joe could be lying. But i had a feeling he wasn't. His body didn't give away any of the usual lying signs. Or maybe that was just me ignoring the signs. Either way, i felt hopeful.

Odds are Maggie was with him. I had to keep that hope, and it burned now deep in me. She was probably there, at this terminus. I looked at Daryl, but he stared at Joe.

"We'll help you." Daryl said. "On one condition."

Joe nodded for him to continue. "None of your men lay a hand on her." He said and nodded to me. "That is the only condition i ask."

Joe nodded before even really taking in what Daryl said. "And listen to me hard now." Daryl said, his voice lower now. "If any of your men put on finger on her, even breath on her, i will kill you all."

Joe smirked. "Is that so?"

"Yes." Daryl voice was hard and threatening. Joe even faulted under his sternness.

Joe nodded again slowly this time, his face serious. "Why do you care about terminus anyway?" I asked.

He looked at me stupid. "There is no walkers, its got fences to protect us inside the place. Be a good place to take for ourselves." He said, and shrugged.

They didn't seemed like the type of people that settle. They all seemed like the type of people that would wonder, finding things as they went and survive every day as it came. But hey, what ever his true motive was i didn't really care. I just wanted to find Maggie.

So, the next chapter is going to involve Terminus. Will Beth find Maggie? What do you think will happen?

Let me know in a review :D
