Bleeding Love

Chapter 5: Puny, Blonde, Teenager

Beth's POV:

The first thing I think when I see this girl is that maybe she was part of Daryl's group before they got to the farm. But then it occurred to me, could she be one of Daryl's past lovers?There's only one way to know....

"Daryl is this one of your previous girlfriends from before?"

She answers for him and says

" No."

I'm very confused and am getting a bad vibe from this girl so I ask quietly in Daryl's ear,

" Well then who is she?"

She then answers for him again with a hint of annoyance in her voice,

" I'm Fae Dixon, Daryl's step sister. And you are....."

" Beth Greene." I answer. I also stick out my hand for her to shake it only she squinches up her face in disgust. She then chuckles and says,

" Daryl, I never pictured you grouping with some puny, blonde teenager."

I glare at her and say,

" I'm sorry, do you have a problem."

She nods her head matter of factly, and whispers in Daryl's ear loud enough for me to hear,

" Let's ditch her.... I'm sure she's only been slowing you down. I've been out on my own and I need some help. I have enough supplies to last for awhile."

My mind is racing. God! Don't leave me Daryl! I know he can see my eyes pleading for him not to leave. He looks down at the ground as though he's considering his options. He looks at me and then at her. Taking that as an answer, she shouts,

" See ya Blondie! Come on Daryl let's go! maybe some walker will come and-"

I feel a rush of tears stream down my face as Daryl interrupts Fae with,

" Stop Fae! What the hell is wrong with you? I NEVER said that I would go with you! Have you really changed that much?!"

Her face gets red with surprise as she answers'

" Yes as a matter of fact I have, because I want to SURVIVE! Besides I thought you'd want to get rid of this good for nothing girl!"

Daryl's POV:

I did. keyword: did. I could never do that to Beth now. Beth breaks the silence in between sniffs with,

" Just go...."

" You heard her Daryl let's go."

I snap. Fae was pissing me off.

" What makes you so sure that I won't shoot you in the head right now?"

Her face goes white,

" You wouldn't. I'm your sister!"

" No. you're my step sister. I probably know Beth better than I know you.. You're sick, wanting to leave her out here to die."

I pause for a second and then look back at her,

" So I suggest you get in your car and just keep driving as far away from here as you can. Because if I EVER hear of you threatening Beth again I will kill you."

She just stares at me.

"Go on, leave!" I yell

At that she runs back over to her car in such a rush that she almost falls, gets in and drives away.

I instantly go to Beth about ready to tell her we need to keep moving but change my mind and sit on the ground next to her.

She scoots closer and I wrap my arms around her awkwardly whispering,

" Shhhh... I'm not gonna leave you."

as comforting as I can.
