"What happened to em?" Daryl asked.
"It was at the very beginning, he never saw what the world turned into. In a sense I think he lucked out." I paused. "Jason, the twins, and I were all getting ready to leave the city, I was picking him up at his house but he never came out, I ran inside and he was on the floor, his neighbor had bitten his neck and he bled to death. By the time I got there he was gone and I just couldnt deal with it."
"The walker came at me and I froze, I didnt know how to fight off a walker?! My brother came in and shot it in the head before it got to me. Then we left. It sucked for a long time, but I had to be strong for the twins and Jason because they were my only family and I felt fortunate to still have them all with me." I took a deep breath.
"So thats my story...tell me about you Daryl." I asked. He hesitated and said, "Na, why talk about the past."
"Because sometimes, its nice to live off of the good memories." I said.
"What if they aint good memories?" he said.
"Then you talk about them." I said.
"We were attacked by people at the prison we were staying at not by walkers. The same guy that attacked us killed my brother and let em turn, so when I found him, I had to kill em. I mean he was screwed up, he wasnt perfect, but he was my brother. He was killed before we were attacked but when we were attacked, that girl and I got out together...she was weak at first but she wanted to survive and she wanted to protect herself. So I taught her, I taught her how to hunt, I taught her how to track. She almost didnt even need me anymore."
"She grew strong and she had hope, she never gave up. Almost felt like she was the one who kept me going. We had lost everyone and everything. We were constantly on the move. We had finally found a good place, there was food there and it was secure but, I dont know what happened to her. She was just gone."
"Do you think shes still alive?!" I asked.
"I dont know, I found tracks of blood, I followed them till there was nothing else to track. I still tried looking keeping my guard up then you found me. I guess ts just about surviving now." he said.
"What if she's still out there, what if we she survived and she's looking for you? You never know Daryl, she may be thinking the same thing about you." I said.
Beth's POV
The next morning Father Gabriel let us take a the church bus, Abraham fixed it up a bit and we began to load our things into the bus. Father Gabriel slowly came walking towards the bus and said, "Can I got with you? I know you may think I'm not of much use to you but, but I can help look for food, I can contribute."
Abraham looked at him and said, "You want to contribute, you must help protect Eugene on our mission to Washington."
"I Will!" father Gabriel answered.
He joined our group the next couple of days we drove around in that bus, when it broke down we found a firetruck. We had stopped to get some rest when Eugene yelled out, "Im not a scientist, I lied, there is no cure!"
We were only miles away from Washington now, we were so close so Eugene hesitated.
Abraham was pissed, he punched him in the face and knocked him out. I couldnt believe he had lied but, we had to keep going. We were already so close to Washington we couldnt stop now
Abraham was just gone, he wasnt speaking he was on his knees on the side of the road and he wouldnt talk to any of us he would listen, he was dissapointed.
"We have to move on!" Rachael said. "We are so close."
No one answered her, "We can just go alone" Olivia suggested. "We'll use that map you have and we'll just walk from here?" Olivia spoke to Rachael.
We all looked at eachother contemplating whether that was a good idea or not. I shrugged letting them know I would agree with whatever they wanted to do.
"Ok then lets go." Rachael said. Abraham was still on his knees didnt listen to a word we said. Eugene was still passed out on the road and Rosita wished us good luck while father Gabriel waved at us from the inside the truck.
We grabbed our things then kept walking. It was mid day when we left the others so by sunset we were almost there.
Tryin to find the refugee in the middle of the night was bit a food idea, we had to find somewhere safe to sleep that night.
We found a old shed not too deep in the woods and slept there that night. The next morning we headed into the city. Rachael took out her map and we followed it to the safe zone.
We arrived to walls they were brick walls and the gate, the gate had been ran into by a car and was broken. It was then I knew there was nothing there. The face expression on Rachael face was extremely upsetting, all her hopes of finding a safe place and finding her husband were gone!
She ran to the door and slipped through the cracks of the crushed door, we all ran after her screaming her name. We didnt know what was on the other side.
"Rachael please stop!" Olivia called out. We followed her to the other side of the the doors and stopped when we saw there was nothing there. The buildings that were behind those walls were burned down and there were walkers roaming the area. Olivia ran to Rachael and said, "We have to go!" She grabbed her by the arm and pulled her.
The walkers began to follow us, first it was a couple then the herd began to grow. We ran down the street with a herd of walkers behind us, Rachaels son tripped and fell scrapping his knees, I ran back to pick him up, he could barely walk so we ran into the first building we saw on the side of the road.
I called for Rachael and Olivia to follow me and locked the door behind us and securing it by moving a cabinet in front of it. We made sure the area was clear then ran out the back door, Rachael and her son ran out first and Olivia and I followed.
Rachael ran out with no hesitation into a herd of walkers. There was nothing she and her son could do, once one got a hold of both of them only more came and they piled up on them. Rachael and her son screamed bloody murder and Olivia did too. I pulled Olivia back as quickly as I could and closed the door. We were surrounded by walkers, I didnt know what we do.
Olivia screamed and cried and I could not help but cry with her, we could still here their screams outside, it was the worst thing ever. Olivia was torn and I didnt know how to help her.
After a while I got up from the floor where Olivia was too and began to search inside the building. It looked lke a sports shop, there were golf clubs and bats. I immediately grabbed one of each, giving the bat to Olivia who was still crying on the floor. I walked around the store and found a walker locked inside a restroom, once I killed it, I went back to Olivia.
"Olivia we have to go, we cant stay here!" I said.
"And where are we going to go Beth?! We have no where to go?!" She was right.
After thinking for a moment I said, "No Olivia we can go back to that camp, we can go back there where its safe! Where there were walls, we can go get the others and go back there it was safe!" I screamed.
