Beth's POV

The sun was beginning to set and everyone was getting worried. Rick spoke to the guy in charge and asked him if we were heading out, "I don't think it's a good idea to leave at night but they may be in trouble, Jason left me a map of the route he and Daniela took so that what we can go off of that, if we had to go out looking for them" I heard him tell Rick.

I went over to Olivia and said, "Hey are you going to come?" I asked,

"Yeah" she agreed. We both got up from the bench we were sitting at outside the house. We walked over to the group and asked for weapons.

"Do you know how to shoot?" one of the guys asked me. I looked over at him smiled and said, "Yeah!" I was different, I was strong, and I knew how to take care of myself. I stood there and let my vision get blurry, I thought about Daryl at that moment and how he would be so proud of me. I don't think he would imagine I'd be the person I am today or have even survived this long on my own.

It was just Olivia, her sister and I, then our group grew and we met Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita, and now we are here and reunited with Rick, Michonne, and Carl. It was amazing really and it made me happy to think that Daryl, Maggie, and my dad would be proud of me.

Daniela's POV

Daryl and I sat in the far backseat of the SUV we were in. Phillip and Richard sat upfront while Jason drove. I leaned back on the seat putting my knees up and leaning them on the seat in front of me. I was tired and still hurting, "You okay?" Daryl asked.

"Yeah just sore that's all." I said. "Thank you for coming back for me by the way."

"I couldn't leave you, Noah and I were going to go get you when your brother found us. Then we worked out the whole plan." he said.

"What did you think when they took me? Did you right away assume they were bad people?" I said.

"I was going to, I was gona run out there but Noah held me back, he said they could help you because of the resources they have in the hospital and what not. I honestly didn't know what to do, I'm glad your brother showed up when he did." Daryl said.

"Me too! I felt like a prisoner no to mention the fact that they were cops in actual uniforms and acted like guards." we both chuckled.

I slightly leaned into him and I lay my head on his shoulder. I was tired and didn't think that relaxing my head on his shoulder was a bad thought nor did he mind.

Daryl was a really good person and a really good friend. He contributed to the group and helped out around the camp. I don't know what it was but he made me feel safe and comfortable. I was nervous but I slowly reached over and intertwined my fingers with his. He didn't pull away and I honesty did not know what I was feeling. I didn't even know if I liked him I just felt, in a way, close to him. Maybe I felt this way because he saved me and I all of a sudden had the perspective that he was my night and shining armor.

I couldn't let things like that get to me, it wasn't okay. I needed to be sure about how I felt about him. It was a risky move and I pretty much regretted it the moment I did it but I'm a girl and girls tend to over react. Maybe I was just blowing it out of proportion in my head causing my heart to beat 10 times faster than it usually did. I just needed to breathe for a little bit.

Once I calmed myself down I relaxed a bit and slowly fell asleep.

Daryl's POV

It didn't surprise me when Daniela leaned on my shoulder, we were good friends now and we took care of each other. It was almost like a brother, sister love, except she had a brother and they didn't get along as well as we did.

What did surprise me was that she grabbed my hand! I didn't know what that meant or if she was just wanting to feel comfort but it did surprise me. She didn't say anything either and I didn't know what to say, not that I ever really said much. Before I knew it she was asleep and then I was too.

Beth's POV

We had finally decided that we were going to go look for them We all gathered in a circle around a fire outside the house near the gate. The man in charge, handed guns and rifles to everyone who was going. Some of the other guys brought over a car. We began to pack things inside the truck when the guards at the gate yelled, "They're here!" We all looked up and one of the guys ran over to open the gate.

Their car drove in and we felt a bit of relief. I looked over at Olivia and smiled, I was glad they were back. Jason walked over to our fire as the others got off the car. "Hey guys! We're okay" Jason said, "We were just about to leave to go find you all!" the guy left in charge answered.

"Thanks man but we're cool, everyone's home and safe." Jason said, That made me happy.

Everyone around us began to talk and I sat down in front of the fire as so did Olivia. We enjoyed the warm air on our faces. I closed my eyes for a moment taking in the moment then I slowly opened my eyes.

I stared out in front of me and couldn't help but crease my forehead with a grin. I didn't know if what I was seeing was real or not but the flames made it hard to see. I could be imagining but I thought I saw Daryl's wings, could that be his vest, the angel wings?! Could that be Daryl?!

I immediately stood up startling the people around me. I couldn't believed it I couldn't believe it!

His back was turned towards be but it was him! I could recognize him from a mile away! It was Daryl!

My eyes began to fill with tears and I just couldn't believe it, "DARYL!" I screamed.
