Alone and Scared

Chapter 40

Okk I am updating today! I promised you guys lots of updates so I am going to keep that promise hahaha :)

Daryl's POV

It was now night time and everyone was looking for Bob. I decided to take a look outside to see if he was out there. I heard a walker in the distance along with a loud thump. I quietly walk towards the sound to find Carol. A twig snapped and she whipped around quickly.

"What're ya doin." I ask. The shocked expression on her face went away and she shrugged.

"I don't know..." She said quietly.

"C'mon les go.." I motion to the church. We slowly start walking toward the church but stopped abruptly when we heard a car engine. I look back to see a car pass down the dirt road in front of the church. My stomach dropped when I saw what was on the back.. White tape was put on the back windshield in the shape of a cross.

This was the same car that took Beth.

I walk quickly to the car of our own and start hitting the tail lights with my crossbow.

"What are you doing?! What are you doing?!" Carol shouts at me.

"THEY GOT BETH. C'mon! C'mon get in!" I yell back at her and get in the drivers seat of the car. She quickly get's into the passenger seat and I start the car.

I am getting Beth back.

BOB'S POV

I slowly open my eyes to the sound of people murmuring. My vision was blurry at first but when my eyes focused, I was looking right up at Gareth, the man who ran Terminus.

"Eh.. Finally waking up huh? Don't worry you aren't dead yet... That's a relief right? But try not to read too much of the word 'yet' there... It'll just drive you crazy Bob, "

I tilted my head and just looked at him. He leans back a little bit and continues,

" I want to explain myself a little... You see... We didn't want to hurt you.... before... We didn't want to pull you away from your group or scare you. These aren't things that we want to do. These are things we got to do... You and your people took away our home. That's their play. Now we're out here like everybody else, trying to survive, and in order to do that... We have to hunt,"

He continued again,

"It didn't start that way, eating people. It evolved into that, we evolved, we had to. And now, we've devolved into hunters. I told you.." He let out a small chuckle,

"I said it, can't go back Bob. I just hope you understand... That nothing happening to you now is personal. Yeah, you put us in this situation, and it kinda sucks for it to be you, but, we would've done this to anybody. We will, but at the end of the day, no matter how much we hate this dirty business..."

He looks down. I follow his eyes to find one of my legs gone. I felt a horrible feeling go through my body. Tears form in my eyes.

" A man's gotta eat." Gareth finally says while taking a bite out of meat, which I'm guessing is my leg.

I take deep breathes and begin to cry. I look at Gareth and he says,

"If it makes you feel any better, you taste much better than we thought you would."

I felt like I was going to throw up. These people are absolutely sick. I look around to find them all eating. I look down by the fire...

There laid my severed leg.
