I threw my crossbow to the ground, and body slammed her to the floor. She yelled out in pain, but it didn't matter to me. Once I had her pinned to the ground, I began throwing punches at her.

"Where are they!?" I scream at her

Her face all bloody, along with my knuckles, Daryl pulls me off of her.

"Easy now. She ain't goin' anywhere" He says to me calmly

"Where the hell are the rest of 'em Mary!?"

"Not here... You don't need to know" She sits up and glares at me

"You bitch" I break free from Daryl's grip and go after her. I pin her against the wall and roughly kick her in the shin, more than likely fracturing it. She screams in pain and doesn't respond

"God dammit Dodger" Daryl pulls me away from her and holds his grip tighter than before

"We'll find them don't worry. We're hidden, remember?" He picks up my crossbow and opens the door.

As he opened it, dead things poured into the room, completely bypassing us and going straight to Mary. Thankfully I grabbed my knife when I tackled her. I wanted to watch her get devoured but Daryl pulled me along.

"What was that about?!" He asks

"Long story..."

"Just don't run off like that again okay?" He looks into my eyes, I never knew his eyes with that blue...

"O-okay..." Why does he care so much?

"C'mon we gotta get outta here, before it's too late"

"You go on, I have something to do"

"Ya ain't going alone" His voice getting harsh

"I have to do something, not we have to do something..."

"Well what is it that you have to do" He calms his voice some

"I have to speak to someone"

"And who would that someone be"

"Not you" I need to find Gareth...

"Well I'd hope not..."

"Just go on, I'll meet you at the shack"

"No, I'm coming with you" He says, obviously not changing my mind

"If you're coming, you ain't stopping me"

"Well what if I wa-" I immediately cut him off

"I swear to God Daryl if you get in my way..."

"I won't then..."

"It's for the right reasons"

I walk back into the burning hell hole to look for Gareth. I take off my poncho so we don't look like we did it, Daryl doing the same. With Daryl following, I felt he might get in my way. I wasn't going to kill him too but I don't want him to get hurt if Gareth decides to spray bullets my way. If he did get hurt, it would be my fault.

We get to the rooftops to find Gareth and Alex, his brother. I couldn't remember if his brother was in the car too but Gareth always talked about him. Alex was the first to see us, he quickly pointing his assault rifle at me.

"You did this!?" Alex cries

Before anyone else could speak, Gareth turns around and looks at me for a second.

"Well look who came back" He says smoothly with a grin

"I didn't come for you"

"Then why are you here?" He asks confused

"To end this, what I should have done when you took control" I stare at him, my words cold

"Now, why would you do such a thing?"

"I saw what you did here. This isn't no 'sanctuary' like you said, it's just as bad as it was before"

"Not technically Dodger" He walks over to me

As he does this, Daryl goes to step in front of me but I stop him before he could go anywhere. I don't need him getting in the middle of this.

"Gareth, she's got a boyfriend" Alex snickers

"Shut the fuck up, boy" I spit at Alex

"Wow, you have a mouth now don't you?" He grins and takes hold of my chin

I shove him away, "Don't you fuckin' touch me"

"Feisty too huh? Just how I like 'em..." His grin bigger than before, his mind full of the things the men did to the women while we were here.

"Don't talk to me like that Gareth" I punch him square in the face

Alex goes to shoot me but Daryl knocks his rifle up before he could. I pin Gareth to the ground, Daryl taking care of Alex.

"Just hold him there Daryl, I'll handle him next"

Daryl nods and continues to hold Alex down.

"Who do you think you are, coming in here, blowing this place up and leaving?" Gareth questions

"Because all people are looking for now is a safe haven and you lead them into a trap" I was irritated, you could hear it.

"I'm just getting my revenge for what those men did to you and my family..." As the 'seductive' words spill from his lips, his eyes wander down my body

I violently smack him across the face, "Who the fuck do you think you are!?"
