"What Happened and What's Going On"
...
They all gathered outside of the hospital To talk about what they were going to do next. Daryl still had Beth in his arms. He didn't care where they went. He had Beth back. The only thing that mattered to him is keeping Beth safe.
Beth was quiet. She listened to Rick and Abraham talk about how Eugene lied about Washington. She just met Abraham and his group. She missed out on a lot durning her time at the hospital. Maggie was still by Beth in Daryl's arms. She had her hand on Beth's shoulder.
Noah finally spoke up and said,
"My hometown in Richmond, Virginia. That's where Beth and I planed to go when we got out of the hospital. We have walls."
Rick looked towards Noah and gave him a hesitant look. That's when Beth said,
"It could be a new place to live. A chance to live instead of just surviving until your ripped from this world."
Daryl hold Beth tighter. He didn't like the idea of her being ripped away from him. Even though he couldn't prevent her dying one day, he'll try his best to prolong it as long as possible.
"It's far, and we don't even know if it's still running. It's to big of a chance." Rick stated.
"So you're gonna separate this kid from his family?" Daryl roughly asked Rick.
Rick looked towards Daryl and saw Beth still in pain from the incident inside Grady. In that moment, Rick realized that he would have to repay Beth by going to Virginia. He hadn't even thought about Beth ever since Daryl brought her up. He assumed that she would be dead in five minutes after the prison. Beth proved to everyone there that she wasn't another dead girl. That she wasn't a burden. She is a survivor.
"Alright' we'll go." Rick agreed. Rick looked towards Abraham and asked,
"Do we have enough room in the fire truck for all of us."
"We don't even have enough gas in the fire truck. The thing is also broken down. We need to find more vehicles." Abraham said.
"Alright, we have to find more cars before dark tonight. We'll head to Virginia in the morning." Rick said.
"Come on, let's go." Rick said starting to walk away from the hospital and into the city. The rest of the group started to follow.
Later on, they found one van and a RV.. Abraham, Rosita, Eugene, Sasha, Carl, Carol, Maggie, Beth, and Daryl were in the RV, and Rick, Noah, Glenn, Michonne, and Tyreese were in the van.
...
17 days later, Rick decided that he, along with the people in the van, would go to Noah's hometown. Beth, at first, protested because she wanted to be with Noah when he was reunited with her family, but Daryl talked her out of it, saying she needed to rest in order to get stronger.
Rick would communicate with them by a walkie talkie. Carol would reply back. Abraham saw an open field and pulled the RV there to park it. Everyone walked out of the RV, stretching their legs, getting the blood flow back in them and breathing in the fresh air. Beth started to walk, but it was more of a limp. Daryl still remained glued to her side.
"Carol, you there, come in," Rick said on the walkie talkie.
"Yeah, is everything fine?" Carol asked.
"No, It's been over runned. It's gone, everything."
"Oh no, is Noah ok?" Carol exclaimed into the walkie talkie.
"He's taking it pretty hard, but he's with Tyreese," Rick stated over the walkie talkie.
Beth looked towards Carol with tears in her eyes. Daryl noticed and started to pull her towards him. Daryl was trying to comfort her. Beth started to cry. Noah's family was gone. His whole hometown was gone. She just cried into Daryl's chest. Daryl just hugged her tighter after every sob she made.
"We'll see you in a little while Rick." Carol stated in sadness.
Carol looked towards Daryl and saw him holding Beth tight. Daryl gave Carol a sad look. He hated seeing Beth be like this, but he knows that she'll get past it. Beth Greene always has hope.
...
Some time later passed, and Rick called in from the walkie talkie.
"Carol, get Sasha and Carl out of there. They don't need to see what's just happened."
Carol automatically knew that something happened to Tyreese. She told Sasha and Carl to wait in the RV. Daryl tried to convince Beth to wait in there, but she wanted to see. She needed to know that everyone was alright. As Rick came back, he gave a disappointing look to everyone, and that's when he said,
"Tyreese, he didn't make it. He was bitten and we cut off his arm, but, he died from the amount blood he lost."
Everyone gave a momment of slience. Daryl started to dig a grave for Tyreese. Maggie was the one to tell Sasha that Tyreese died. Father Gabriel started to say some final words for Tyreese. It felt like a real funeral to Beth.
Everyone put dirt in Tyreese's shallow grave. Sasha was the last person to put dirt into the grave. They made a cross for him, and put his beanie cap on top.
They all decided that Washington was the best place to go to. They just had to keep pushing farther on, until they got to somewhere safe.
Episode 9 done, I can't wait to write for episode 10. It will be tricky since in the show, Maggie and Daryl were grieving from the loss of Beth. I plan to make Daryl more protective around Beth.
Please review and tell me what would you want to see if Beth was alive when they were going towards Alexandria...
