We arrived shortly at an old walmart. Once it was clear we had all decided to split up since the place was huge. Daryl insisted I went with him, but instead I had went with beth leaving him with Glenn.

Daryls pov

I growled as kayla turned to walk away with Beth. I quickly caught hold of her wrist yanking her back. She arched an eyebrow and I said,

"If you need help scream. Don't do nothing stupid"

"Me do something stupid?" She smirked.

"I mean it" I said sternly.

"Alright daryl" she rolled her eyes and started away with Beth.

Maggie had went the opposite direction with michonne and I was gonna check the grocery aisles with Glenn. Why didn't Maggie go with her sister? She wasn't Kayla's responsibility. Beth couldn't protect her if something went down and knowing my wife she wouldn't think of her own safety, only Beth's. I shook my head and heard a chuckle from next to me. I turned and saw Glenn immediately stop laughing and look infront of him.

"Something funny chinaman?" I growled.

"You got it bad" he chuckled.

"Got what?" I scowled.

"She'll be fine" he said.

"Can't blame me for worryin" I grunted.

"No I can't. I can't even imagine if half those things happened to Maggie." He sighed.

"Wouldn't wish it on anyone" I said.

"Ya but she made it back every time" he tried to lighten the mood.

" she's a dixon. Nothin can kill a dixon but a dixon" I said aiming my crossbow

"Except Merle" he whispered.

I lowered my crossbow and glared at him,"the hell ya just say jack ass"

His eyes widened and he started stuttering,"I'm sorry daryl it just kinda slipped out. All I'm sayin is dixon's aren't as indestructible as you think you are"

"You know nothin" I growled.

He sighed,"can we just forget I even brought that up? I'm sorry. She'll be alright she's got Beth"

"Don't help none" I grunted.

He sighed and before I could say anything moans filled the air. I immediately aimed my crossbow and Glenn pulled out his gun. Our eyes widened fearfully. There was a huge group of walkers. There was no way we could take em all on. I shot an arrow at one as Glenn started firing his gun. We had barely made a dent. We started retreating down the aisle.

"Ya go get Maggie and michonne! I'm goin after Beth and kayla! I'll meet ya outside!" I yelled.

He nodded and we ran in opposite directions trying to avoid the walkers.

Kayla's pov

Beth and I had started in the feminine hygiene section which was also right next to the baby stuff. I smiled and started picking up extra diapers and toys. I felt Beth's eyes on me the whole time. She hadn't said one word to me. I turned to her. Her eyes were full of regret.

"There a reason you keep starrin at me?" I asked.

She immediately looked down to her feet and didn't say anything. I sighed and went back to collecting things. Once I cleared a shelf I picked up my bag and started to another shelf when a tiny voice asked,

"Why?"

I turned to her and arched an eyebrow,"why what?"

She gulped and said,"you know I didn't ask daddy, but you didn't say anything. Why?"

I sighed,"you have to learn to take care of yourself someday and by the looks of it you're daddy's little girl and he wouldn't let you learn if you didn't lie"

"How do you know?" She asked.

I took a deep breath and fought the tears forming in my eyes,"cause I've been there."

This time she looked confused as I sighed,"before my dad died, he wouldn't let me do anything."

"Wait I thought Rick was...." She started to say, but I cut her off,

"He's not. Carl's not my real brother either."

"But you call him dad" she said.

"Ya cause he basically adopted me as his own. My real father died saving me and got bit. That's when Rick and daryl found me. My mom died before all this and my brother...." My voice cracked as I blinked back my tears remembering that day back at the farm.

I flinched as I felt Beth place a hand on my upper arm. I looked up at her and saw her eyes had began to tear up too.

"My brother got bit" I choked out.

"I'm sorry" she whispered and wrapped her arms around me hugging me.

I hesitated, but hugged back. When we pulled away I immediately wiped my eyes and smiled. She gave me a faint smile in return. Our moment was ruined when moans filled the air. We both looked behind us and a huge group of walkers were making their way towards us. I turned back to her and her eyes had widened and she began to shake and whimper in fear.

"Shit" I whispered. I gave her my bag and took my gun out of my holster, grabbing her hand and running towards another aisle. Unfortunately every way I went was walker infested. There was no way we were getting out of here. I studied every possible way. Moans filled the air as gun shots from the other side of the store rung out. My heart pounded thinking of the other group members. Beth's hand squeezed mine in fear and I could still feel her shaking. As my eyes wondered a million miles a minute, I let my guard down. The moans had gotten closer and I was grabbed forcefully by my other arm. I tried to get out of the grip and couldn't. I did all I could think of doing and for once I listened to daryl and screamed.
