Previously in Survival of the Fittest: 

"I should kill you for this. You betrayed me. You took advantage of my undying love for you. I should drain you of your blood and kill you slowly and painfully, but death would be too kind for you." He says looking deeply into the eyes of the woman he once loved so very much. "I want you to suffer!" He says. "You killed my child Nik?" Aurelia asks, her lungs struggling to get oxygen. "I did. And your man and your friend, but I won't stop there. I will ruin you Aurelia Petrova, mark my words." As soon as he finishes speaking, he brings his wrist into his mouth, bites and forces his wrist into her mouth, making Aurelia injest his blood. The next thing Aurelia knows, she sees a sharp flick of his hand, her neck twisting painfully to the side and then her eyes close.

Daryl Dixon's POV: 

  Lia removes her hands from my head and I open my eyes. Her eyes are downcast, looking at her hands which are now resting in her lap. "Then I awoke as a vampire. Alone. Hurt. Betrayed. I stayed hidden in the shadows for a very long time. Although, when you become a vampire, allcompulsion wears away so I went back to India. When I got there, I found that my entire family had been slaughtered. The rest of the people thought me dead from the "attack" by Mikael. Akbar was compelled by Klaus to forget me na forget me he did. A month later, he married another Hindu woman by the name of Miriam uz-Zamani who later gave birth to Shah Jahan, the man who got the Taj Mahal constructed. (True story!)The rest, you already know." She finishes.

  "Has your curiosity finally ended? Are you now disgusted by the monster before you? The one who couldn't even save her own daughter? The one who couldn't even save her own brother and friend? The one who lost everything in the blink of an eye? Because I am. I hate Klaus, but most of all, I hate myself. I hate what I've become. I've tried many times over the centuries to end it all, but I couldn't. I truly am indestructible." She says angrily, getting up from the bed, her back facing towards me. I stay silent for a few minutes. Then I stand up from the bed and stand behind her. I go to grab her arm but she stops me, "Don't. Do not touch me. I can hurt you." My hand freezes in place for a moment, then continues it's task, grabbing her arm and turning her slowly to face me. When she faces me, her eyes are black with gold irises, black veins are evident under her eyes, and her fangs are protruding from her lips. We stare at eachother silently, then I cup her face with my hands and bring my lips to hers'. 

  She stands unmoving for a moment then I start to feel her fangs leave and her lips moving against mine. She brings her hands to cover mine as we stand there and continue kissing for what seems like forever. Finally I pull away and rest my forehead against her's, breathless. "Why did you do that? it is not your burden to bear." She whispers. "We all got burdens to carry, it's up to those round us who care to help carry the weight. I care bout you, and I can't wait to shoot my crossbow at that son of a bitch Klaus for what he did to you. Nobody hurts those I love." She smirks mischeviously, "So..you love me?" My face heats a bit. "Yeah, I ain't gonna deny it. I love you." I say seriously. "I love you as well." She responds. I smile and kiss her again more fiercely.

A couple of minutes later... 

  Lia and I walk hand in hand together downstairs towards everyone who sneaks glances at our interlocked fingers. Beth is about to say something, when Rick and Carl barge in with a basket and drags an unconscious dark skinned woman with dred locks and a kantana sword and sets her on the floor of the prison. Lia releases her hand from my grip, leaving a slight frown on my face and rushes to the girl on the floor who has blood coming from her thigh. Lia bites into her own wrist making me wince slightly and holds her bleeding arm above the woman's face, making her blood seep through the lady's lips. The woman's breathing gets more even and Lia steps back into me. I wrap an arm around her waist as Rick comes forward with a water bottle and drizzles it on the woman, causing her to wake up and jump in a fright reaching for her sword which Rick kicks out of her reach.
