Okay honestly, wattpad is being a huge dick! This is the fifth time I've rewritten this chapter because it keep closing on me. I'm so sorry for the wait! Hmm, do you think I could get 5 comments on this chapter for the next update? :) Also, enjoy this pic of Tom Hiddleston actually thanking Liam Payne for naming his dog Loki after Tom's portrayal of Loki :)))) Oh Tom you beautifully gorgeously adorable man. ;)

Previously in Survival of the Fittest:

The boy yells, "Watch out!" In a British accent, but before anyone can do anything, I ram a knife Rick gave me into the walker's temple and watch as the walker falls to the ground. I wink mockingly at Daryl and toss the knife in the air for Merle to catch. A small smile comes across my lips as I walk to the boy who seems to stare at me in awe. "Hello there, I'm Lia." I say. "Liam," The boy says, breathing heavily, "Liam Payne."

Lia's POV:

"Well, as much as I would like to hear your story, it seems that we're under attack." I say to Liam. "No thanks to him." Daryl says, pointing his crossbow at Liam whose eyes widen in fright, his hands coming up in surrender. "W-What? No! I'm not with them!" Liam stutters. Merle stands back watching with a slight smirk. "Look, one of my friends got separated from our group. I was just trying to follow him when I heard the shooting, then I ran into the fence." "Bullshit." Daryl says. "It's the truth! And one of my other friends is hurt and needs medical attention right away!" Liam says desperately. "Shut up." Daryl says. I roll my eyes and push Daryl's crossbow down. He stares at me incredulously. "He tells the truth." I justify. "And how the hell ye know that?" He argues. I give him my best death glare. "Because, I can hear them." I say.

Just then a girl's scream is heard slightly far away. We all turn in the direction of the scream. "Eleanor!" Liam says. Just then, the Governor's men finally stop shooting and start to get back in their cars and retreat. "Daryl, you and Merle get Liam inside and assess the situation inside. See if anyone's hurt. I'll get Liam's friends." I say. "Wha? You can't just go off by yourself!" He protests. "You have no right to tell me what I should and should not do, now GO!" I yell. I push them and they finally start to make it inside the prison. Feeling slightly on edge and a little emotional, I turn around and head into the woods, wary of retreating Woodbury people.

After killing a few walkers here and there and even killing two Woodbury members, I finally encounter a small group running, trying to escape the walkers that are coming towards them. The group consists of a girl with brown wavy hair shooting a bow and arrow, a tall curly haired boy with an unconscious boy on his shoulders, and a blonde boy supporting a very tall man with long black hair wearing some sort of costume. I push away and kill a walker that was attempting to grab the unconscious boy and help to kill the remaining walkers with the group. "Who the bloody hell are you?" The girl shouts whilst shooting her arrows at oncoming walkers.

"A friend! Liam sent me to come help you." I shout back as I bash two walkers into eachother with my bare hands, their heads exploding. "Liam sent you? Is Louis with him too?" The blonde one asked with an Irish accent. "I'm assuming Louis is the friend that Liam was chasing after?" I say getting a pocket knife from my boot and digging it into the skull of another walker. "Yes, he's my boyfriend, is he alright?!" The girl asks stopping her fighting to wait for my answer. "Liam shall explain, now less talking more moving, come on! Follow me!" I say starting to walk away from them. "Where are we going?" The curly haired one asks. "To our camp! Liam's there already and it seems as if your friend is in dire need of help." I say motioning to the unconscious boy. "How do we know if we can trust you?" The girl accuses.

I stop in my place and turn to look at them. I hear a walker come up behind me and I stab it perfectly in the head without looking back before answering, "Because I'm your only chance." They all stay speechless before the slightly older, handsome man with the long black hair and armor costume breaks the silence, "Let's go." Everyone, including I turn to look at him. He looks back intently into my eyes. "If Liam entrusts her with our lives, then so do I. Now, let's go and get Zayn some help." The others reluctantly agree and start following me, the sun starting to set as we make it back to the prison, but as we continue, I can't help but keep feeling distressed and paranoid, as if I'm forgetting something...

Daryl's POV:

Merle, the kid and I make it into the prison, shooting a few walkers here and there. I push the kid inside as we finally encounter Rick who seems shocked at our arrival, but immediately nods in gratitude at me for coming back. I nod back. "Who's this?" Rick asks, narrowing his eye at the kid, his hands going for his gun holster at his side. "Woah! Easy there Officer Friendly!" Merle says. "This here ain't a Woodbury kid." "Then who is he?" Rick asks. "Merle, Lia and I saved his ass outside the gates." I say, my voice slightly cracking at the mention of Lia's name. Rick notices this and shifts uncomfortably.

"My name is-" the kid gets interrupted by Beth shrieking, "Holy Hell! LIAM PAYNE?!" We all turn to see her standing in the hallway, everyone else behind her staring at her as well. Her eyes and mouth wide open as she stares at the kid. "No freaking way!" Zara who barely ever talks, exclaims coming from behind Beth, also staring at Liam. "How the hell do ya know this kid?" I ask her. I turn to look at the kid who seems to be blushing a bit, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. "I'm uh, Liam Payne, from One Direction." He says.

"The hell is One Direction?" I say confused. "Only the biggest boyband ever!" Beth says approaching closer a huge smile on her and Zara's face. "Well, it doesn't matter who you were, what are you doing here? If you haven't noticed, we've just been attacked. I don't think anyone here is wants a stranger among us." Rick says. "Yeah, well that chick my baby brother's banging doesn't care and it seems that what she says goes." Merle pipes up, smirking. "Lia agreed to this?" Rick asks me. I nod, still sensitive on the whole Lia subject.

"Well, where is she now?" He asks. "She went to go get my friends. One of them got injured by a bullet." Liam says. "There's more of you?" Rick asks frowning. "The rest of One Direction?" Beth asks hopefully. "Well, most of us." Liam says, starting to frown and looks down at the floor. "Well I'm hungry! What do ya'll got for food?" Merle interrupts obnoxiously. Rick turns to look at Merle, seeming to remember his exsistence. "Well, first things first...."

A few minutes later...

"Aww come on man! This is just messed up!" Merle complains from inside the separate cell that Rick locked him in next to the cafeteria to keep an eye on him. "Shut up man." I tell Merle before going towards the window, waiting to see Lia again and thinking about an apology worthy enough for me leaving her. Beth and Zara are sitting on the stairs with the Liam kid, chatting excitedly with him. Everyone else is minding their own business yet staring warily at both Merle and Liam. "Hey Daryl?" Carl's quiet voice reaches my ears as he approaches me.

"What's up little man?" I say. "Remember how Lia said she was a werewolf and that she didn't have to forcefully shift as long as she did shift on her own sometimes?" He asks. "Yea? So wha?" I ask, confused as to where this conversation was going. "Well, a full moon comes every month right? The last time we saw one was when my mom-my sister was born." He says, quickly changing his sentence to avoid bringing up Lori's death. "It's been exactly a month since then Daryl." "And?" I say, still confused. "Well, Lia never shifted since we met her has she?" He asked. My eyes widen in realization. It's a full moon tonight. Lia's gonna forcefully shift into a wolf tonight.

Lia's POV:

Oh bloody hell.
