[Daryl]

I rummage through the gas station when I hear something from the storage area. I run over and stop dead in my tracks. Beth is lying unconscious on the floor, with the leader of my old group standing over her.
"Get the fuck away from her you bastard!" I raise my crossbow.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Remember when you killed my group in cold blood? Good thing I found new people." He gives a devilish smile as I'm surrounded by a circle of man, all with rifles. Beth stirs a little, and he stands her on her feet. He places a knife against her throat.
"Don't you fucking touch her!" I yell as I raise my crossbow.
"Go ahead and kill me. But the second you do, my men will end this girls life. And you don't want that, do you?" I drop my crossbow. I'm stuck.

[Beth]

Everything's spinning when I open my eyes. My head is throbbing. When my vision clears, I see Daryl standing in front of me. I notice the knife against my throat. I put two and two together. I don't move. I don't breathe. I listen.
"You do anything to her I swear to god.." Daryl yells.
"Oh shut the hell up!" One of the men yell.
"You better watch your damn mouth sunshine!" He says, walking toward the man. I can't watch this.
"Daryl.." I say. The man pushes the knife closer to my throat. Bad idea, Beth. But Daryl responds, and stops.
"You two got a group?" The man with the knife asks. Glenn and Rick! They can help us! Now how we contact them is another story. We have to answer this question correctly, or we could put lives in danger.
"No.." Daryl says.
"That the truth..?" The man with the knife asks. Daryl nods. But the man doesn't believe him, so I get another blow with the shovel.

[Daryl]

"What the hell!?" I yell.
"I don't believe you, Daryl." My old leader Joe says.
"It's the God damned truth!" I yell.
"I don't like your tone, Daryl. Knock him out boys!" I feel the shovel hit the back of my head before everything goes black.
