Mine

Chapter 1 - A new life

( Daryls POV )
We were all standing at the gate. Rick was trying to talk The Governor out of destroying us and killing Beth's dad. I hated seeing Beth like that, and Maggie. Beth had already had such a hard time with everything. She was so sweet and innocent and had grown into such a beautiful you women. "NO Daryl stop!" I said. I can't have these felling about Beth she is only 20. IM 35, she is only a girl. But she is still so beautiful. So sweet, I see how she takes care of Judeth with such love.

When I saw The Governor cut Hershals head off the first thing I did was look at Beth. She and Maggie started to scream and cry. I just wanted to run to Beth. To hold her in my arms and tell her everything would be ok. But I cant, I cant feel that way about her, I have to worry about the real problem.

The Governor and his army busted through the gates with a huge hank. After they destroyed the second wall I found a grenade and blew it up. I saw Beth running, trying to get all the kids on the bus. She couldn't find her sister I could tell. I ran to her she said " I can't find the rest of the kids". I said " We have to go". So we ran. We ran as fast as we could.

We ran for what seemed like forever. It was starting to get dark and I knew we were gonna have to make a camp. We had probly run for about 5 miles. She was ahead of me and I could tell she was struggling to keep on. She eventually feel into a soft little field of grass. So I stopped and layed down with her. She was out of breath and so was I .

(Beth's POV)

I started to gather wood for a fire. Daryl left to go hunting. I had so many emotions I couldn't handle it. I just started to sob. My father was dead, I lost my friends and family, the prison is gone, for all I know they all could be dead. Just thinking about Maggie as a walker, dead just breathing, eating people. I started to sob when I heard foot steps coming towards me. I got out my knife but didn't stop crying. When I heard those big boots he wears. It was daryl.

He came over and didn't seem to care. He sat across from me and started poking the fire. I sat U "Do u not even care that everyone we know could be dead?!" . All he did was grunt. "How are you totaly fine, like they didn't mean anything to you,". He sat up and said "Some of us are better at hiding our emotions". I sat back down and just stared at the fire, felling alone inside. Everyone I loved is gone. But I have one left.

(Daryls POV)

I hated seeing Beth like this. Im such an asshole to her. She just lost her father, sister, home, and everyone she loved and here I am being a complet jerk. Not letting her in, not letting anyone in. I hated doing this to her. I just keep hearing Merle in my head saying " If ya show ur emotions your a pussy, don't let nobody in". But it's so hard to do that with Beth.

I looked up at her and say the redness in her eyes, the tear streaks on her face. She still looked beautiful, she always does.
"Beth" i said.
"yea" she said
" Can you sing a song"
"I thought u hated my singin"

I didn't say anything after. But she began to sing.

"Are you are coming to the tree"
"They strung up a man, they say who murdered three"
"Strang things have happened here, what stranger would it be"
"If we met at midnight, in the hangin tree"
"Are you are you coming to the tree"
"We're dead man called out, for his love to flee"
"Strange things have happened what stranger would it be"
" If we met at midnight, in the hangin tree"
"Are you are you comin to the tree"
"I told you to run, so we could be free"
" Strang things have happened here what stranger would it be"
"If we met at midnight in the hangin tree"

(Beth's POV)

After i sung I looked a Daryl.
He said "Thanks"
I just nodded. I try to deny my feeling for him. He is way older than me. He probly thinks of me as just a little helpless kid. Everyone always did back a the prison. But something came over me. I walked over to Daryl and gave him a hug. It was starting to get cold at night. I regretted it the minute I stood up. But it felt right, and he was warm.

To my surprise he put his arms around me and i closed my eyes
He said " I'll take first watch"
I started to stand up but he pulled me back down into a tight hug. I felt safe, and warm. I could feel his baby blue eyes staring at me as I began to close mine. But my heart pounded
