Hours had passed, since Xander, Glenn and Maggie were kidnapped by Rhea's uncle.

Merle Dixon.

The second they arrived at Woodbury, the place where Merle lived, they separated them and put them into different rooms.

Xander was tied on a chair in a small room, that seemed to be unused. It looked like a storage room of some sort.

He tried multiple times to get out from his ties, he had to get out, he had to find Glenn and Maggie quickly.

He had to find a way to go back home, to his father, little brother, baby sister... and Rhea.

Suddenly the door opened from across the room, Xander looked up and he glared furiously at Merle, who chuckled at the teenage boy.

"You don't even know why you're here, do you? I didn't mean you no harm. I lowered my gun, but you raised yours." Merle trailed off, as he circle around Xander's chair. Xander kept looking at him with a blank expression. "What about my baby brother? Huh? You can't tell me that he's alive and then hold on where he is."

Xander looked slowly at him "I'm not telling you shit." He snarled at him.

Merle smirked before he swing at the boy hitting him across the face. Xander's face turned left as he felt blood in his mouth. He spit the blood on the floor, before he chuckled and looked back at Merle.

"Something funny?" Merle asked him angrily.

"It's that all you got Merle? Because Rhea told me and Daryl a different story." Xander told him with a smirk.

Merle's heart stopped beating for a second. "What?" He whispered as he looked at the boy with fear in his eyes.

Xander chuckled "Ohhhh, yeah, Rhea told Daryl everything!" Merle paled even more as he listened to the teenage boy. "You know she told him... How you used to beat her... about the raping..." Xander snarled angrily at the man "How you left her to the walkers..." Merle looked away from Xander as he started passing around the room. "When Daryl found out, he was pissed off, he said that if you were in front of him right now, he was going to kill you for what you did to his little girl." Xander snarled at him.

Merle was silent for a moment, until without hesitation, he grabbed a knife from his waistband and pressed it against his throat.

"Where's your group? Where the hell is she?!" Merle snarled once more.

Xander was silent as he glared at him. Merle glared at him, as he moved the knife from Xander's neck and put it on the table. He turned around and swing at Xander hitting him across the face again and again and again.

Merle then grabbed his knife again and cut Xander's tape from his hands and legs. Merle grabbed him and threw Xander across the room, he grunted as he landed on the floor.
