Previously in Survival of the Fittest:

Daryl's POV:
  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.

Present Time:

Lia's POV:
  I knew something was wrong. I should have known! This group. This...Bowman has distracted me! I forgot all about the curse! And I can already see a full moon start to form! What am I supposed to do? I can't go back to the prison! I could hurt someone by losing control! Hopefully I can get these kids to the prison and find a place to shift peacefully without any walkers. I do not know how my wolf form will handle walker bites/scratches in case. I continue walking, but stumble, wince and put a hand to my head as a pounding headache starts to occur.
  "Hey, are you alright?" The man in the costume asks coming to stand near me. I look up at his concerned face and clear my face of any distress as I reply, "I'm fine. We mustn't stop. We're still in the open. Come on." "Are you sure? I mean you don't look so good." The blonde boy with an Irish accent says, then realizes what he says and blushes, "I mean you look amazing! Not that you look bad I mean like you look very nice in fact and--" "Niall, shut up." The curly haired one cuts off his rambling. "Sorry that him he doesn't know how to talk to pretty girls like you." He winks at me. I roll my eyes. "Harry! This is not the time to be flirting! What they both mean to say is that you look a little pale. Are you sure you're alright?" The girl asks. "I'm fine just keep moving." I say a bit more forcefully and start walking a bit faster. They look wary but continue to follow me.
  We walk halfway to the prison when a sudden wave of pain overtakes me, causing me to gasp loudly and fall to the ground. It's starting already. I don't think I can hold it off. "Lia! What's wrong are you alright?!" The costume man says again stopping by my side trying to reach out to me. I groan and push his hands away while hiding my face from them. "Keep going straight! You'll see a fence to a prison! Tell them you're Liam's friends and that I sent you! Go!" I say, holding my head again as it starts hurting more. "What why what's wrong? Aren't you coming with us?" The Irish boy asks trying to get closer. "I'll be there just go without me!" I say clenching my teeth to stop the pain. "What no we're not going to leave you here!!" Curly says. "It's dangerous, there's walkers crawling everywhere!!" "You could get hurt!" "We can't just leave you!" They all say at once. "ENOUGH!" I shout, finally turning towards them, my fangs slightly showing and my eyes golden.
They all gasp frightened. I take a few breaths, my face softens and I turn away from them again. "Please go." I say softly.
  They stay shocked into silence as another wave of pain hits and I scream in agony, starting to hear faint moans. "Go now get out of here get to the prison! GO!" I say once more forcefully, this snaps them out of their funk and they reluctantly start leaving. Each of them looks back at me a few times and I painfully stand up, now holding my side and try to run away from the moans. I kill a walker that comes up to my from my right, but trip as my left left breaks with a painful snap! I cry out and practically crawl into a bunch of bushes that cover me, and quickly set fire to a tiny nearby plant of sage and say an incantation that makes sure nothing can hear any sounds that I make. A second after I finish the spell, my other leg and the rest of my bones start to break as I scream in agony. The pain overwhelms me as my vision starts to go black...

Daryl's POV:
  As soon as I put the pieces together, I stand up in alarm, grab my crossbow and start to run out the prison. "Daryl!  Daryl wait! We don't even know how to handle something like that!!" Carl calls after me. Rick sees this and gets in front of me, stopping me. "Daryl? What the hell is going on? Where are you going now?!" He asks me. "I'm going to Lia! She needs ma help!" I yell, trying to push past him. "Help Lia? With what?" He asks confused. Carl tells him the situation, but I get frustrated.   "Look man I ain't got time for this! Lia is in pain and she's going to need ma help!" I try to reason.
  "This has happened to her before hasn't it? I'm sure she'll get by fine! Plus you and her aren't exactly good right now are you?" He asks. I glare at him. "She needs me. She's told me about the process and it ain't no damn picnic! She needs support! Plus Popstar's friends are still out there, they could get hurt!" I say firmly, referring to Liam. Rick contemplates this and finally after what feels like a year, he reluctantly says, "Alright fine. Go out to her and bring them all here. Make sure they all come back in one piece!" I don't gotta be told twice as I practically sprint out the door, hearing Merle call out "whipped" and climb over the gates, dodging walkers here and there desperately searching for ma girl.

Eleanor's POV:
  As we all run in the direction Lia told us, me shooting arrows at approaching walkers, Niall speaks up, "What just happened I mean did you see her face when she got angry?!" "It was terrifying like some sort of monster!" Harry says. "I don't know but I do worry about her." I reply. "We should not have left her like that! She was in pain! She could be in danger and we just left her there!" Tom exclaims. "But she told us to leave! Maybe we can go to the prison and get her some help!" Niall says.
True. Louis might be there too!
  "Uhh guys? We need to find this prison fast!" Harry suddenly says. "Why?" Niall asks. We all stop to look at him, still carrying an unconscious Zayn. He looks at us horrified, "Zayn's not breathing."
