RICK'S POINT OF VIEW

I was completely frustrated.

Two members of the group were gone, and one was on the brink of death. The idiot, Abraham, wanted to leave and half of my group would accompany him. Rosita, Maggie, and Tara were concerned about the whereabouts of Lea and Daryl. What have I gotten myself into?

It always took us ages to calm Judith down, she cried constantly. It couldn't be because Lea was gone though, could it? The search for Lea and Daryl continued tomorrow, we had more important things to deal with now. One of them being finishing off the rest of Terminus. 

LEA'S POINT OF VIEW

I opened my eyes slowly, as if I didn't want to. Unfortunately, last night we had lost track of the car that we were following, we had stayed in a room which must have been an office at one point.

Daryl and I had played a game all night which in a way formed a friendship between us. He had told me so much about himself yesterday. It seemed like not many people got to know Daryl so well, so I felt privileged to have a genuine conversation with him. 

I got out of bed, making my feet touch the cool floor. I winced a little, before putting on both my boots and prepared a mini breakfast. The sandwiches and water I grabbed earlier should do. I watched Daryl for a moment, I felt a little moved to see him so calm. 

"Photos last longer, Lea." Daryl spoke, making me jump from the sudden sound. The blue-eyed man seemed amused as my cheeks turned a light pink. I approached him with the food, and both of us began to devour the meal in a comfortable silence.

"We should get going," I suggested. I knew how important Beth was to Daryl. He had admitted it yesterday. Daryl nodded and grabbed his belongings confidently.

I watched closely as the dark-haired boy begged for his life. The same boy who had stolen our weapons. Daryl flat;y refused to help him, why would he? Even so, I conveyed in grief. The poor man was trapped under a large piece of furniture while a walker, who was trapped inside by the same piece of furniture, was trying to escape. If it did, the man would die.

Eventually the walker escaped, and began trying to bite the man. Before U could go to the walker and kill it, an arrow came forward. I smiled, I knew that Daryl wouldn't let the walker get him. 

Together, we helped the brunette out of the furniture. While Daryl watched if I had been hurt. 

"They will find me," said the man.

"Who?" I asked.

"The hospital."

"Is there a blonde girl there?" I questioned further,

"Beth?"

--

As we ran to the exit, Noah stumbled because of his injured foot.

"Go,go. I'll help him," Daryl said to me. I obeyed and left the building. I looked back to see where Daryl was, until an intense pain ran from my head to toe. Then everything went dark.

--

Daryl saw how she had been ran over and wanted to run to help her. He could not allow anything bad to happen to her. Even so, Noah would not let him.
