chapter seven

Daryl's POV

"She wouldn't have just left," I exclaim, "Maybe she went hunting." Maggie nods her head and walks inside. I follow her and grab her arm, "I'm sure she's fine."

"Whatever Daryl," she sighs, "How have you guys even survived here? What have you guys been up to?"

My mind races through the memory of Beth and I's kiss, our arguments and my least favorite, rejecting her last night.

"Its not that bad, being up on this hill has its advantages I guess."

"It'll do for now, we can make do," Rick says, patting my arm and walking outside.

Joining Rick outside, I show him to the wood and help begin to secure the place. The fence is secure already, leaving less work for us. Rick and I work on securing the house from the inside. Glenn and Carl help and sort out rooms. There only being three rooms, Maggie and Beth will share, Glenn and I will, then Rick and Carl.

Night falls quickly, leaving us all in a panic.

Beth isn't back.

Beth's POV

After being tied up in a wooden chair for a couple hours, Jordan walks over to me. He knocked me out and brought  me to a little house. The room is very odd, all white floors and walls, one door, and no windows. The only thing besides me, is a black table.

Jordan interrupts my search, "Your not gonna remember one bit of this. So don't bother thinking about where you are," he says slowly and stares me in the eye.

Almost instantly, he puts a blade up to my throat, and smiles.

"Yeah, what are you going to do? You can't just take memory," I say, and would be laughing at this idiot, if there wasn't a knife being held to my throat.

"There's so much you don't know, its quite cute actually," he smiles and hands me a vile. I stare at a vibrant red liquid and label it blood.

"What the hell is that?" I ask. Jordan only glances down at me before speaking again.

"Why haven't you started complaining yet? You know, like freaking out and begging me to let you go? All you've done, is become annoyed with me. Your too comfortable for being kidnapped. Too brave," his tone is sharp, rather annoyed.

"Are you annoyed, Jordan ?" I say, and look him straight in the eye, "If you meant harm, you would have done something by now. I don't know what you're up to, but I don't think you plan on hurting me. But that vile might say otherwise," I swallow and wait for his reply, hanging on to every silent second.

He only smiles, "This little friend is gonna help you and I get along quite well, you see, I am a very well educated doctor and scientist," he pauses waiting for a response. I shift and he clears his throat, "I've created a hell, you will understand but for now just know, the world that you thought was safe before, had lots of hidden secrets and I was among one of them."

Jordan stands and walks to the table and grabs another vile. Studying them, both red and look the same, he picks the one he had before.

"But you wont remember any of that, drink up or die," he comes close and offers the vile.

"I won't die if I drink that?" I ask.

"Smart girl," he smiles.

"What will happen?"

"Again, drink and find out, or die. Your choice, really."

I nod my head, my hands being tied, and open my mouth. I'd rather live with whatever that is than die. He pours it into my mouth, and its sour, foul, and fruity. Forcing it down my throat, I gag and glance at Jordan before passing out.

Daryl's POV

"We're searching the woods, with or without you. Come on Glenn," Maggie says and heads out the door.

"I'm going with her," I say to Rick and Carl.

"Alright, come Carl," Rick says to Carl and we get ready. I run after Maggie and turn on my flash light.

"She wouldn't have gone in the direction of the prison," I say and sigh. Leaving her this morning was stupid.

"We split up and-" Rick begins to say,

"Daryl?" A voice comes from behind us. I turn around and shine the light onto Beth.

"My god!" I run to her, pulling her into a hug, "Where were you?"

She pulls out of the hug and reveals a man,

"I went to find you, then I found him, he needed help," she says quickly.

"Beth!" Maggie runs to her, wrapping her in a hug.

"Hi, I'm Rick," Rick approaches the man, "Come with us and we can have a chat."
