Daryl's POV
I knew I was in trouble from the moment they saw me there, "I think we need to teach him a little lesson don't we, Charlie?" The second guy told the first.
"I agree" he said and they both came towards me with the third holding back, they began to throw punches as I struggled to fight back.
One of them got me real good in the face and the other dropped me to the ground and began to kick my stomach. Fuck! I needed to get back up and kick their asses, I thought.
The third guy then said, "Alright that's enough, I think he's learned his lesson." he held his hand up. They stopped kicking me in the stomach and I was soon able to get back up, once I did I swung at the first guy in front of me, all I felt was a huge bang on the back side of my head and I was blacked out.
BETHS POV
I felt the sun shining on my face and I could hear the birds chirping around me. I looked around me and I was covered in mud and leaves, then I heard a growl and saw a walker, making its way towards me. I got up as fast as I could, knocking it down and burying a branch into its head.
I was exhausted but I had survived that night. I thought about Daryl right away and where he might be? Where was he the whole night, did he come looking for me, is he hurt? I decided to run back the direction I had come from, hoping to get some clue of where Daryl might be.
I was hurt, my head was hit and hard but the bleeding had finally stopped. A cut on my arm was still bleeding so I ripped part of my shirt and wrapped it as tight as I could. I continued walking. I had no sense of direction but I just went the way I thought I had come from. It wasn't until I ran into a road that I knew I was headed the wrong way.
I decided to follow the road maybe it could lead me back to the house. I walked for a couple miles, thirsty as ever. I needed water and I needed to rest. I stopped on the side of the road and leaned on a tree, I closed my eyes for just a moment and unwillingly fell asleep once again.
"Hey, hello there, can you hear me?" an unfamiliar voice called out. I slowly began to wake up and once I realized someone was there with me, I took a deep breath and got up as fast as I could.
"No don't worry! We won't hurt you!" a girl said. She was medium height, had short black hair looked like she was in her mid-20s. Along with her was another women and a little boy who were holding back from talking to me.
"My name is Olivia and this is my sister Rachael and her son Alex." I was still trying to catch my breath, as she talked. "Are you okay? It looks like you're bleeding?" I was then finally able to respond and said, "Yes I'm just, I lost my friend and I-I haven't been able to find him." I said.
"Where were you last?" she asked. I couldn't trust a complete stranger so I didn't answer, once she saw my hesitation she said, "You don't have to worry about us, we are alone, have been since the beginning we won't hurt you." she assured me.
I then got up and said, "I don't know I was at a house with my friend but I was attacked and I lost the house and haven't been able to find my way back, I don't know where it is or if he will even be back there." I said sadly.
Olivia then handed me a bottle of water and said, "Here take a drink. How long have you been alone?"
"Late evening yesterday" I said.
"We can help you find the house?" she offered.
I took the bottle of water from her and nodded in agreement.
Thoughts on what happened to Daryl?
Will they meet again?
