Stay With Me [Carl Grimes]

Chapter 13: Lost

*Beth's POV*

We glanced to see if anyone had been shot, no one was. "Guess someone missed" Liz whispered next to me.

Clearly, those guys weren't paying any attention towards us, because we were all passing around our escape plan.

"Ok remember, Daryl, Glenn, and I are gonna stay here and fight while the rest of you guys run okay? Remember stay with someone. Try to all run as a group though" Rick restated the plan. We all nodded. I let out a silent sob and pointed towards the guys. Everyone looked over and saw Maggie getting tied up.

"Do it quickly then!" Lori whisper-yelled to them and we all ran off.

*Liz's POV*

I just ran. I didn't know where I was going, and I don't think the group was going in the same direction, I just made sure Beth was next to me. I know it would be hard on her, since that's her sister, but I knew out of everyone Hershel and I could cheer her up.

"Wait!" Beth called out slowing down. I looked behind us, nothing. "We can take a break they aren't behind us" Hershel nodded. I agreed. We sat down on a rock.

"Shit" I whispered, even though Hershel gave me a look saying 'don't say that' I ignored him. We were no where near the group, doesn't help that it's nighttime of course. "What is it?" Beth asked, still slightly out of breath. "We are no where near anyone from the group" I told them, still looking around to see if I could spot a figure in the darkness.

They also glanced around, noticing no one around as well. "We'll find them" Hershel said calmly.

"Let's get up and moving then" I stood up, brushing my pants off. They remained seated. "Guys, I know it's-" I glanced up at the sky, "About 11:00 at night and we should be sleeping but we can't. We don't have our group and the only weapon we have is a hunting knife, we just can't" I explained. Still nothing. "I'm just as tired as you, but WE CAN'T REST" At the end I shouted a little bit. Beth got up, but Hershel didn't.

"Daddy, come on she's right" Beth held her hand out for him, which he didn't accept. I checked his pulse, which he had one. "Don't worry he has a pulse but um, I think he's in state of shock" I explained. "Oh yeah! He's had it before, you have to slap him really ha-" She was cut off by a loud sound that formed when my hand touched his face. He immediately got up. "Why'd-" He was cut off by Beth. "You were in state of shock again" He remained silent, just nodded.

"Okay come on!" I told them once again, although this time they actually did follow.

"Shh" Hershel stopped us. We waited.

crunch.

"Damnit!"

Our eyes widened. "Daryl!" I whisper-shouted. "Yeah? Who's with you?" Daryl asked. "Beth and Hershel" I replied. Out of the darkness came Daryl, Rick, Glenn and Maggie. "Maggie!" Beth and I smiled running over to give her a hug. "You alright?" Beth asked. Maggie nodded. "Dad" Maggie smiled pulling him in for a hug too.

Soon, all seven of us were standing around in a group hug for god only knows how long, just enjoying each other.
