The Earth was dug up as another grave had to be built for the lovely Beth Greene. The girl who Natalie could think of as her own sister and everyone cried for her. "We look not at what can be seen, but we look at what cannot be seen. For what can be seen is temporary... but what cannot be seen is eternal. For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Gabriel read out loud while Natalie placed a deep red rose over her grave.

She looked up to the sky and held in her tears while she looked to the three children and nods her head while walking towards them.

"She was gonna come with me." Noah told Rick, the two men in the back of a white van.

"How far?" Rick asked, and Noah thought for a moment.

"Outside Richmond, Virginia." He said and then a cry from Judith was heard. I teacher softly and Rick thinks for a moment.

"It was secure. It had a wall, homes, twenty people. Beth wanted to go with him. She wanted to get him there. It's a long trip, but if it works out, it's the last long trip we have to make." Rick stated while Natalie kept her arms crossed over her chest.

"And what if it isn't around anymore?" Glenn asked, not making eye contact with his superior.

"Then we keep going." Rick told them.

"Then we find a new place." Michonne told them while she placed her hand over Natalie's shoulder.

They made their way into the state of Virginia and little did they know, it was harsh. They were little on supplies and Carol with Natalie included having nightmares again.

The two little girls holding onto wounds. "It's better now." Mika told the woman while a picture was on the floor of a cottage and blood poured over it.

Daryl held onto the girl who was curled into his chest, her head pounding and her stomach growling in hunger. "You gotta talk to me." Daryl told her, but the girl just stayed there, not wanting to move as her mind was wrapping around food.

"Natalie." He called out and the girls kept her eyes squinted shut.

"Natalie!" He yelled and she opened her eyes, her muscles now relaxing while she looked up above her and she furrowed her eyebrows.

"Yes?" She asked and he raised his own eyebrow while looking over her with his deep blue eyes.

His hair now shaggier than what it normally should be and a beard which was groomed well with the help of Natalie. She took a deep breath and rubbed her face, feeling her stomach grumble and Daryl could hear it from where he was lying. "You're hungry." He stated and the girl shook her head, not wanting to be a bother to him.

He shook his head and grabbed her hands. "Natalie, please talk to me." He told her and she sighed while rubbing her face.

"What would you like me to say? That I'm starving and I haven't eaten because I feel guilty. It's all my fault that Beth is dead because I told her to kill Dawn if things went south." She told her boyfriend from almost two years now.

He grabs hold of her while she smacks him and tried to pry him off her. "Get off me! Get off of me! I never wanted this! Please!" She yelled at him and he just holds her while she soon relaxed after her break down.

Her mind had gone completely numb and Daryl sighed while wrapping a blanket around her body. "I'm going to go grab you something." He whispered in her eye while he kissed her forehead and walked away.

The girl glared at the ground and got up swiftly after five minutes and started walking out of the church, her mind racing with dark thoughts while she left and started walking aimlessly around the forest.

She didn't know where to go and what she was even going for that matter. She wanted Beth, to tell her she was sorry, and to say that she should take her place.

She should have been the one to die. It was her turn to die, not for the sixteen year old. The woman rubbed her face and leaned against a tree while a walker was limping its way towards her. She was exhausted and slid down the bark, not caring for the scrapes against her dark skin and the blood that pooled over the torn skin.

She blinked while looking up to the sky, feeling her bottom lip quiver and she cried more. She looked towards the walker and glared at it. "Why me?" She asked and felt the anger wash over her veins as she was so badly wanting to be killed at this very moment.

She looked over her arms that were filled with scars and raised up her sleeve and she raised her hand while getting ready to fight it. She punched his face in and the walker growled while it grabbed her shoulder and bit into her upper arm.

She groaned in pain, feeling the blood squirt all along her dark skin and that's when the girl was about to get another chunk torn into her, but the walker fell to the ground.

She fell to the floor while Daryl looked over her arm. "Natalie what did you do?! Natalie!" He yelled at her while she kept crying.

"Please end it. Please kill me." She told him while grabbing onto his shirt and pulling him into her.

His eyes darkened while he shook his head and grabbed onto her shoulders. "No. Come on, let's get you cleaned up." He told her, Natalie still crying as he lifted her into a bridal style and she placed her head into his neck.

"I don't want to live anymore." She told him and he shook his head.

"I'm going to make you change your mind." He mumbled.
