The Walking Dead, Fearless

Ch. 1 "Eric?"

                                             Hayden POV 

I gasped at a heavy bump, my eyes were open, but I couldn't see, my wrists were tied behind my back, 

I was trying to recall what happened, 

                                            Flashback

I approached the fire I seen the night before, the logs were still warm, I see the multiple foot prints in the dirt, 

I smirked, 

"Daryl.." I whispered, 

Then I heard a twig snap nearby, 

I quickly climbed a tree, I was perched on a branch, The guy's back was turned towards me as he was checking my footprint, 

I quickly jumped out of the tree, getting the jump on the guy, he landed with a thud, I turned him on his back and straddled him, I had the base of my bow at his throat, 

Then I sat there in shock, 

"Merel?" I asked 

"Nice seein you too princess," He said smirking, 

Next thing I know something hit me upside the head, and everything went black, 

                                             End Flashback

Don't panic, don't panic, I thought 

I tried moving my wrists but they were tied tight, 

I hear the trunk open, 

"Is she injured?" I hear a voice, 

"No, from what I can tell it's walker blood, tryin to cover up her scent," I hear Merle, 

"Take her to the barn, he wants to deal with this one himself," I hear, 

Next thing I know I'm hoisted over someone's shoulder, 

I had to play possum if I was going to get through this, these people were the enemy, even if Merle was with them, 

Suddenly I'm on the ground on my knees, 

"Well well, well, what do we have here?" I heard the familiar voice, 

I never wanted to hear again, and I don't have any weapons to put the bastard down myself, I thought 

Suddenly the hood was pulled off my head, the blinding light blocking my vision for a moment, 

I see Merle blocking my exit, and I see the man I never wanted to ever see again, 

I glared up at him,

"Eric," I said 

"Now is that anyway to greet your father," He said smirking down at me, 

Merle looked stunned at this information, 

"Yer no father," I said bitterly 

Next thing I know I'm backhanded on the cheek that I fell to the floor, But I didn't let that damper my mood, 

I got up on my knees, 

I glared at him, as he smirked, 

"Is that the best you got?" I said glaring at him, 

"Because I'm pretty sure my dead mother could hit harder than you," I said glaring at him, 

He looked at me shocked, 

"She's dead?" He asked 

"She was a walker, and let me tell you how satisfying it was to put a arrow between her eyes," I said glaring at him, 

Merle looked shocked, 

Eric backhanded me again, 

"This is going to be fun," He said cracking his knuckles, 

"You have some information I want," He said 

"Like I'm going to tell a piece of trash like you," I said getting back up again, 

He grabbed a metal bat, 

"Oh you are depending how much pain you want I suggest you talk," He said 

"Just like old time then huh, except you haven't changed a bit, you were a low life then and yer a low life now," I said 

With that he swung the bat, making me fall to the ground again, 

I knew this was going to be painful, and I knew my chances of escaping were down to nearly impossible, but I had to try, 

I need to get back to Daryl, I need him to know I'm still alive, 

And I'm going to do whatever it takes to get back to him, I thought as I felt each blow,
