Merle went downstairs and drug the sorry bastard that had been sent to finish him off out of the closet glad to finally get to spend some quality time with him. "Alright you stupid fuck its time for you to start talking." Merle pulled the gag out of his mouth. "Go. Fuck. Yourself. Redneck." The man said, then spat in Merle's face. Merle drew back and hit the man in the mouth as hard as could, satisfied to see the man spit some teeth out. "That was the wrong answer fuck nut." Merle growled. He was going to enjoy this, he was used to having to take the trash out and this was no different. He had once been the man the do the dirty work for the Governor and then for Rick's group. "Now I want to know where you took my girl." Merle snarled, he could feel the demon that had always been in him rise, the demon that feed from violence, drugs, alcohol, and sex, the thing that he wanted to kill for his Beth, but if it meant getting her back alive then he would let the demon out to play. He knew that he would have to keep a reign on it or he would lose it and kill him before found his angel and that he couldn't risk. She was too important to him. Much like he did with Glenn when he was looking for his brother and it had almost lost any chance of reuniting with his brother.
"Were going to try this again you dumb shit. Where did your asshat of a buddy take my woman." The man didn't say anything he just spat at Merle's feet. Merle pulled his knife off his prosthetic and gripped it expertly. He drew it across the man's left check drawing a thin line of blood. "Let's start with something a little easier your fucking name." Merle said calmly, becoming what the Marine's had created. "Your mother's pussy." The man said chuckling. Merle took the tip of his blade and placed it at the top of the cut he had made and dug it in twisting, harder and deeper until he felt the man's check bone underneath, the man let out a bloodcurdling scream but didn't pass out. He definitely had fortitude which would normally impress Merle, but all did now was piss him off. "You think your a hard fucker. Don't ya?" Merle belted the man in the stomach. The man finally passed out from the beating and the cutting. Merle paced the floor back and forth waiting for the sorry fucker to wake back up and trying to rein in the urge to just kill him and be done with it.

Beth was terrified the man that had dislocated her shoulder and had shoved her down into a dark cellar. She didn't know what was going to happen to her and she was terrified. All she could do was pray. The door to the cellar creaked open and and an older woman came down the stairs. "What's your name child?" She asked with kindness. "Beth." She croaked out. "I'm Mary. I'm gonna put that shoulder back in place for ya, but its gonna hurt something awful. Nathan shouldn't have been so rough with such a delicate thing like you. Garreth ain't gonna like it none." Beth broke into a cold sweat, she had misunderstood the kindness coming from the older woman she was just as sick as the man that had taken her. "I need you to lay down on the bench and hang your arm over the side." Mary instructed. Beth did as she was told, knowing her shoulder needed to be put back in place or her rotator cuff was going to tear and that would mean possibly losing the use of her right arm. Mary grabbed her hand in firm grip then Mary sat down next to her and placed her foot under Beth's armpit and slowly pulled creating steady tension until the shoulder popped back into place. Beth bit back a scream when her arm popped back in place.
"Nathan bring me the ice pack." Mary called out of the cellar. The man that had taken Beth came down the stairs carrying an ice pack with him, he handed to the older woman who placed it on Beth's shoulder. "There you go child that should help with the pain." Mary said with the kindness of a mother. Beth was confused and frightened the man had taken her without regard, injured her and called her names but this woman that was obviously with the group that had taken her, but she was showing Beth the kindness that a mother would hold for a child. The woman reached into the bag that she was carrying with and pulled out a piece of cloth and made a sling for Beth and helped her place her arm in it. "I didn't bring any pain meds with me, because I didn't think Nathan would damage someone as useful as you but as soon as we get back to the compound I'll get you some Vicidian." Mary said, while helping Beth get a drink.
"Where are you taking me?" Beth asked, proud of herself for keeping her voice steady, when she just wanted to scream and cry like a small lost child. "We're taking you back to our community, but first I need to ask you some questions so that I can assess where you will be most needed. Do you think that you can answer them for me?" Mary asked as she shooed the Nathan guy out of the room. "Yes M'am." Beth's heart had dropped when they said they were taking her to a community, it sounded too much like Woodbury for her liking and that was the last type of place she wanted to find herself in. "How old are you?" "Eighteen." Beth answered honestly, watching as Mary recorded her answers in a notebook, that she hadn't notice her pull out. "Are you a virgin or have you been tainted?"

Merle went into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water from the frig and dumped it on the fucker's head. The man woke with a start. "Ready to try this again you sorry sack of shit." Merle said as he placed a booted foot on the man's knee and began to apply pressure. The man's face paled, feeling the joint give way knowing that it would soon snap. "My name's Jimmy." The man rasped. "Good now were getting somewhere." Merle said giving the man a blood chilling smile. No one realized how easy it was for Merle to become something sinister especially when it came to the ones he cared about.
Merle removed his foot from Jimmy's knee and pulled the knife back off the metal contraption and cut the man's shirt down the middle. "Okay son know lets have some fun. Everytime you don't answer a question right I'm going to cut along rib and when we run out of ribs, I'm gonna start taking fingers at the joint. Understood." Merle asked. "Yes." Jimmy said in a voice laced in pain. "What do you want with my girl?" Merle asked. "You mean that young little thing is yours those tits must look great." Jimmy wheezed out. Merle made a long cut across the man's rib. Jimmy cursed as the cut burned and ached. "What do you want with her?" Merle asked again. "We look for people to take back to Terminus." "What's Terminus?" "Our community." Merle made another cut. "Why do you want with her?" "She will either be given to our leader as a bride, or she will be put in the breeding pen, or traded to another group or if they are too much trouble then they are sent to slaughter for meat." "You sick sorry son of a bitch." Merle growled as he stepped on the man's testicles and grinded until he felt one pop under his boot heel. Jimmy passed out from the extreme pain.

"Why do you need to know if I've sex or not?" Beth asked barely fighting the panic within her voice. "I have to ask these kind of questions dear, its just normal." Mary replied, hoping she could keep up the kind and caring mask. "I'm still a virgin." Beth answered, her heart sinking further in her chest. "Was there anyone with you when Nathan rescued you?" "Rescued me? He hit me kidnapped me from my friend and then dislocated my shoulder." Beth said her voice rising with each word. "So there was someone male or female?" "Why and the hell do you want to know?" Beth asked with steel in her voice glad that she didn't just crumble and bawl, sometimes the hell that she had been through since the world had went to shit was a blessing because she was no longer a scared of her own shadow teenager but a woman coming into her own, she just hoped that her Daddy was looking down at her and smiling. "Its just a required question." Beth quickly prayed for forgiveness for the lie she was about to spin. "I was with two people, brothers Merle and Daryl Dixon. They were both prisoners at at prison that we lived at before and were in jail for murder but we needed them for our group so we allowed them to join." Beth said meeting the woman's gaze. "Thank you dear, you may rest now." Mary said as she patted Beth's leg and left the small cellar and closed and locked the doors behind her. Beth sat up and went to the doors to try and hear what they were saying and what she heard chilled her to bone and maybe her vomit all at once. "The girl is problems I'm going to recommend her for trade or for meat and such as waste too because she's untouched and so soft." Mary said to Nathan.

Merle slapped the Jimmy until he woke up. "One more question. How do I find this Terminus?" Merle asked. "Follow the railroad tracks going toward Atlanta, you find it." Merle believed the man, he had beat him, cut him, and busted one of his nuts. Merle pulled his knife off his prosthetic and slammed it into the man's lower stomach and disemboweled the man. Merle grabbed his back pack replaced his knife and headed out the door it was time to get his angel back.
