A/N: Hey everybody here's another update. Hope you all enjoy and leave me a review they make me smile. Next chapter will be all about Caryl.
After Merle gutted the man and left him to turn he grabbed his backpack and headed out the door. He was just about to hit the road when he had an idea. He went to the shed and found some black spray paint that had been left by the previous owners. He took a few cans and primed them, he then spray painted the house. "DO NOT ENTER. KIDNAPPED BETH. MERLE." He knew that if any of the group found this place that it could be bad. They could take more of there group and then they would have no way to pick up the trail to him or Beth. Daryl could track him he knew that and he prayed that Rick had learned enough from him and his brother that he could pick of the trail. Merle's stomach clenched when he thought about what these people would do the Beth or Carol and what they would do to children like Carl. He knew he had to start tracking them as soon as possible. He headed off in the direction back toward the prison. Something in his gut told him that he would find something there.

Beth was terrified the woman named Mary had told them that they were leaving at first light for a place called Terminus. She didn't like the sound of it. She had over heard them talking about selling her or eating her and she knew that she didn't want to go anywhere near the place. She knew that she could over power Mary but Nathan was another story. He was a large man about six foot six and weighed over two hundred pounds of solid muscle. He had dislocated her shoulder as easy as he could snap a twig. She would just have to wait and see what would happen. She prayed that Merle would find her and that she would be saved or if it was her time to go that it would be quick and she would be reunited with her mother and father and Judith. She almost longed to go die; it would be better than either thing that was planned for her for this group.
Mary had just radioed in to check and see what Gareth wanted her to do. He told her that they had enough food for awhile and that their buyer was looking for young women for his group and to take Beth to the holding cell next to the tracks but put her in one of the train cars so away from everyone else the one marked tradables. Mary was upset she was looking forward to craving up the young girl, she knew that her meat would be delicious and a treat; virgins were a rarity and she knew they made the most tender steaks. The only thing better than virgin meat was meat of a baby. She knew that she needed to go and get the girl.
"Were moving you to a location tonight." Mary said as she gave Beth some fresh fruit. "Where are you taking me?" Beth asked; glad that her voice stayed strong. The days of her showing weakness was over. "You will be placed in a holding cell then traded to a nice group of people for supplies." Mary said in her most kind voice that she could muster. "Traded?" Beth asked breathlessly. "Yes. We trade with a group called the Saviors. They provide us with guns and food and we provide them with people and goods that me make. They treat their people well child. I promise." Mary said. Knowing for well that she was trading her to a group of rapists and sadists.

Merle stayed in the cover of the woods. He knew that he needed to find a walker and take it down and cover himself with gore. He had seen it work on Michonne and with her pets he knew that their smell repealed them. He waited in wait in a set of bushes waiting for a stray walker to come along. He didn't have to wait long. He lunged out at the walker and stabbed it in the brain stem. He then gutted the putrid thing and began to smear his body with its intestines. He fought back a wretch before continuing on his journey. He knew that he had to get to prison, maybe there would still be a car there that worked or even better his bike. It was hard to ride it one handed but he could manage if it meant finding his angel.
Merle made it back to the prison and fought his way inside. He went to his cell first and grabbed a few belongings that meant something to him, a picture that he had of his ma and Daryl when he was a baby. He then went to Hershel's cell; entering it felt like a knife in his heart. The old man had shown him great kindness when the others had be reluctant if not even cruel about letting him join the group and grabbed his Bible. When he found Beth he knew that she would want something to remember her father by and what better than the Good Book. Merle heard a noise a few cells down. He knew that was where Glenn and Maggie slept. He pulled his pistol and crept down the hall.
Glenn heard someone enter his cell; he whirled around with his gun drawn and pointed at Merle Dixon's head. He never thought he would be so happy to see anyone in his life. Before he could stop himself he grabbed the man that had almost beaten him to death and hugged him. "Fuck. Never been so happy to see a Chinaman in my life." Merle said with a roaring laugh. "Never thought I'd be happy to see a dirty redneck like you." Glenn responded with a smile. They started off on the wrong side but months at the prison and Merle almost getting himself killed by the Governor had ended their feud. "What brings you back to this God-forsaken hell hole." Merle asked. "Maggie and I got separated so I came back looking for her. You?" Glenn told the rough man. "I was hoping someone would have came back here. Beth was taking by a group and I'm looking for her." Glenn's stomach dropped. Beth was missing and he didn't know if Hershel or Maggie had made it out alive. "Hershel with you?" Glenn asked seeing the Bible in the man's hand.
Merle had never been good at giving good or bad news and he hated delivering this news. "The Governor cut his head and killed him." Merle said hanging his head in defeat. "There was nothing any of us could do to stop it." "God damn it." Glenn cursed. He didn't know if Maggie knew or not but he knew this would crush her. "We need to make a plan and head out. Find your wife my brother and sister and Beth." Merle said; giving the man something else to focus on beside his grief. Merle needed him if he was going to find his angel.

Beth was terrified. She was tied back up and placed in the trunk of another car. She could tell that she was driving down a relative new road that was built soon before the end. Beth prayed hard. She had never been so terrified in all of her life. She didn't know what she was going to do. She knew that she needed to get away but Nathan was too big for her to take and she had a feeling that Mary was not the kind sweet woman that she acted. The car came to a stop and she was drug out. They lead her to a building where she could hear people banging on doors and yelling for help. Beth's heart sped up and she fought back her tears.
She heard metal doors open. They jerked off her blind fold and shoved her into a dark room and slammed the doors shut. Someone grabbed her into a bear hug. "Oh Bethy!" She heard her sister exclaim. Beth broke down in sobs in her big sister's arms. She looked around and she was in a train car full of women. Sasha was there and two other women that she didn't know. Her sister quickly introduced her to Rosita and Tara.
