burning love

Inmates-38

Daryl's POV:

We ran through the woods heaving, we had walkers trailing us not to far behind. 

"Come on Beth don't stop keep going." I said shoving her to give her a boost. We ran a little further until we ran into a field and just collapsed my lungs hurt I could barely breathe. I slowed my breathing and calmed down a little. When I was finally breathing right we walked through the woods to find a place to say. We set camp in the middle of the woods. 

"I'm gonna go find something to eat." I walked through the woods till I found a decent sized snake. I know it wasn't much but it would feed us. I took the snake back to our little camp and cooked up the snake me and Beth sat in silent until Beth broke the silence. 

"Come Daryl, you have to have faith that they're still alive. Your a tracker, track them. Come on we can't just sit here chewing on snake jerky. Ugh, fine if you won't find them then I will." Beth said standing up and storming off with her knife in her hand. I scoffed and put the fire out fallowing after her. I know Beth's right that I am a tracker and I could find them. But, Bella's pregnant, I doubt if she could make it. I pushed the thought of her dead somewhere to the back of my mind, angry that I doubted her. But what if I do track her and I find her dead. I don't think I could live. I didn't see anyone else make it out either, what if I find them dead. It's better this way to push  Beth out before, I let her in and she dies too. I couldn't live with my self then.

We settled in the woods a place to rest. There is no point in walking around in the dark, we would just be tripping over ourselves. I set up against a tree and watched as Beth feed our small fire pages from her diary that she made in the prison. I remember back at the prison, when I told Beth that Zach died that she was writing her diary about how we would make it, now look at us. I fell in a daze staring at the fire, the flames danced peacefully without a care in the world. In that moment I wished I was a flame, dancing in the darkness care free, no worries. 

Sorry that chapter is so short. I'm going off the episodes so I'm not getting lost. LOL. Anyway tell me what y'all think. I really like this book, Wattpad has shown me my new passion for writing. I think of ending this book though, so that I may begin a new book, but tell me what you think please.
