She wasn’t sure when it had happened. She had suddenly woken up one day with thoughts filled of him. He had always been important, both in the sense of her survival and as a person, but that had somehow changed. Her eyes would be drawn to him, whether subconsciously or of her own volition, and once her sight was filled with him, her gaze would linger…


Beth gets taken from Daryl nearly a year earlier at the funeral home. She’s taken to Grady Memorial Hospital but from there she’s taken once more. The people that take her, they’re viscous and vile and they can no longer be considered human in a world like this. She has been gone for a year, more or less, and has had unspeakable things done to her. She soon realizes she’s on her own and takes it upon herself to escape and when she finally succeeds she sets off on her own. She’s broken and a completely different form of herself.
With her family living at Alexandria what will happen when their lives intertwine with hers again. Does she still love them? Will she stay? Is she too broken to even heal and come back to herself? Or will new romances brew as the new Beth continues to surprise herself and others.


He was like a breath of life for her, they needed each other much more than both realized. They completed each other, full circle. She never really thought anyone needed her like that, and he wasn’t ashamed of showing her it either. They needed each other because they both had what the other needed to be complete. She was his breath of life too.


Beth didn’t die, in fact she has fought to survive and find her way home. She isn’t scared anymore and the scars on her wrists are a reminder of who she isn’t.
