As they climbed into bed together, Harmony moved towards him at once. She turned onto her side and tucked her back into his chest. His arm went around her waist while he rubbed his face into her hair. No words were being spoken because they didn't need them. Harmony sighed as she stared into the darkness. Daryl was staring at her hair. Sleep just won't come to either one. After a while, Harmony rolled over. Daryl put both arms under his pillow while he looked into her eyes. She brought her hands to his neck. He could just make out her face through the night. Harmony moved closer again, interlocking her legs with his. Daryl was surprised at how much he loved cuddling.

He loved how she fit against him, how she felt against him. He loved how she would rub her soft legs against his. He loved how her hands touched him and made him feel loved. He loved how she looked and smiled at him like he was bravest, strongest man she had ever known. He opened his mouth to say something when a loud banging came to the front door. There was second of shock between them before both scrambled out of the bed. Daryl snatched up his pants while she changed from her shorts to her jeans.

" Daryl! Harmony!" They heard Eric yelling.

" The hell?" Daryl wondered as he throw on his shirt. He grabbed his cross bow, stuffed himself into his boots then hurried towards their door. He grabbed Harmony's hand before they ran out. They moved to the front door where he looked through the window. When he saw Eric was alone, he opened the door.

" Eric! What happen to you?" Harmony asked in surprise. The handsome blond man's left cheek was swollen, his left arm was hanging uselessly while his right hand held it to him. There was blood at his hair line.

" Vincent freaked out and attack us! He killed the other guys. He thought he killed me but I snuck off. He's coming back here! He's hell bend on raping Harmony! You have to let me get her out of here." Eric said in a panic. Harmony grabbed Daryl's arm as he pulled her closer.

" Hell no, she ain't leavin. 'Sides, you're fucked up, you ain't gonna be able to protect her." Daryl said as he started scanning the fields.

" You don't understand! He will kill you! Look, there's an abandoned house just up the road. Let me take her there. You're strong, you can take him, she won't be able too. You kill him then come and get us." Eric said.

" He kill everyone?" Daryl asked. Eric nodded, making Daryl look at him. " Even Merle?"

" Even Merle." Eric said. Daryl's mouth tighten as he nodded. He turned and looked at Harmony.

" You gotta go with him, Woman." He said. Harmony frowned as she shook her head.

" No. I don't want to leave you." She said.

" You ain't got a choice. If he can get to Merle then he can get to anyone. I need a clear head to take him on and I ain't gonna have to that with you here. I'm gonna be worried bout him findin you. I'll come and get you when it's over. We know that house he's talkin bout, 'member? We found it lookin for the girl." Daryl said.

" Daryl..."

" We need a few minutes." Daryl said to Eric.

" Alright but hurry." Eric said as he looked around. Daryl took Harmony's arm and led her back to their room, closing the door behind them.

Daryl had made Harmony wear one of his long sleeve button down flannels. It was a dark orange and brown in color. It was big on her, coming down to her knees and covering her hands. He rolled the sleeves up then snatched her up to him. They hugged tightly, neither one speaking or breathing. After a few moments, Daryl pulled away then took her hand and led her out of the room. With a heavy heart, Harmony walked out of the house with Eric. Daryl came onto the porch and watched them until they disappeared into the forest. He had his cross bow in his hand and was forcing himself to take deep breaths. He shook his head to stop himself from running after her. He knew Eric was right. There was not a spot in the farmhouse he could hide her at. He needed her some place safe until he could kill Vincent, and kill him Daryl would.

" Hey there, brother." Came Merle's raspy voice from the side of the porch. Daryl turned in surprise as Merle strolled up to him.

" What the hell?" Daryl asked.

A sudden and sharp pain filled him, starting at the back of his head and spider webbing around to the front. Merle started laughing as Daryl fell to his knees. He reached up and touched the back of his head. When he pulled his hand away, it was covered in blood. Vincent came around to the front of him with a grin and a bat. Sean came into his field of vision next, followed by Bill and James.

" Got you, mother fucker." Vincent said softly. Daryl fell forward and landed on his hands and knees. He was fighting to stay awake.

" Shouldn't have picked that snatch and bitch group about your own kin, dear brother." Merle said. "But that's alright. Least now I know you ain't gay. I been wonderin for a while now since you ain't tried to take a crack at the pussy I brought around. Guess you didn't like sharing. No matter. You gonna share you woman now." Daryl's eyes rolled into the back of his head as he collapsed. Merle's laughter was the last thing he heard before darkness took him down.

Eric's right hand was holding Harmony's hand tight as they ran through the woods. Every news was making her look around. She was expecting a walker to jump out as any time. They ran until the house came into view. She did know the house. She had been there before with Daryl. They had searched it together for Sophia. They had spent hours in the woods that day. They hardly talked together.

" Shouldn't we check it for walkers?" Harmony whispered.

" Yeah. I'll call out. If there are any in there, they will come for us right away." Eric whispered as they crept towards the house. He pushed opened the front door and he yelled. They listened for a few tense moments before Eric pulled her into the house and shut the door.

" We should check upstairs. That's what Daryl would do." Harmony said. He was pulling her into the main part of the house which was a big kitchen, dining room area.

" Well, I'm not Daryl." He snapped. Harmony frowned at him as he let her go...and that was when she noticed his left arm. It wasn't hanging loosely anymore. In fact, he was using it to light up a lantern that Harmony knew hadn't been there before. A cold dread started through her.

" Your arm. It's healed." She said softly. Eric smiled and as he nodded. He put out the match he had used to light the lantern.

" Yeah, Honey. It did." He said. Harmony started to back away slowly.

" It was never hurt, was it?" She asked. Eric sighed and finally faced her.

" No, it wasn't. But I did let Vincent hit me in the face to make it look real. Fucking hurt bad but I think being inside you is going to make it all better." He said with a smirk. Harmony shook her head.

" Why are you doing this?" She said.

" Because I need to get laid and you are the first living woman we came across in three months. I heard you when Daryl fucked you. It sounded amazing and I want some. I'm tired of jerking off." Eric said.

" You set us up." She accused.

" We did. We planned Vincent to attack you and me to save you. Then we planned for my group to leave. Vincent hit me a few times then I ran back to the house. See, right about now my boys are beating the shit out of that redneck, Merle included. He's pissed that his brother choose you guys over him. Here's what's going to happen, Honey. We are going to have sex then I am going to drag you back to the house and let the other guys have their turn with you, in front of Daryl. Merle's going to have you last and if you are lucky and a good girl, we won't make you blow us. Well, Merle might, but I won't. I don't want you to bite off my dick and you look like a bitter." Eric said.

" I thought you were nice." She said.

" Nah. I wasn't nice before and I'm not nice now. But let me make you a promise, if you do what I want, what the guys want, and if you maybe make us think you are getting off, I will protect you from the other things the guys want to do." Eric said, till coming towards her.

" What are you talking about?" Harmony asked.

" Vincent likes anal and he's got a big dick. I have seen it. We used to run trains on girls before. We have had a lot of threesomes together. He isn't gentle. He will tear that sweet ass of yours up but if I protect you, I won't let him. I'll make him be gentle." Eric said. " Now, let's too it. I'm hard and I want to get off."

That was all he said before he lunched for her. Harmony screamed without thinking and took off for the door. Eric grabbed her, pushing her into the door. Her head hit it hard enough to see stars. She felt herself slipped down. Her right hand went to her right hip. When the ground met her, Eric flipped her over. He kissed her hard, forcing his tongue into her mouth. Harmony bit down, making him yell. He pulled away quickly.

" Fucking bitch!" He yelled. He back handed her and she knew she'd have a bruise. He leaned over her left side and spit some blood out of his mouth. " You stupid whore, you are going to pay for th..." His voice paled as sharp pain shoot through his left side before it sliced up him. His eyes went wide while he looked down. " You stabbed me!" He yelled. Harmony pulled out Daryl's knife from his side.

" Did you really think he'd let me leave him without a weapon?" She asked. He pushed Eric off her. He fell onto his back and Harmony took the advantage. She sat up, flipped around and stabbed him straight in the chest. It went through his shirt and landed in his heart. Eric coughed, his mouth filling with blood. "I had it strapped to my side the whole time. Why do you think he made me wear this huge shirt."

She pulled the knife out of him and stood up. Her legs were shaking and she was breathing hard. Eric's hand pulled at her jeans weakly. She took a step back and watched as the life flowed out of him. She wanted to scream but knew they had made enough noise. She leaned down and wiped the knife off on his pants then re-strapped the knife. When she had protested on bring the knife, she had said she didn't think she could hurt a living person. Daryl had said if the time came that it was her life or his, she would find the strength. He was right, she had found it. Now she had to save Daryl.
