Everything sped by so quickly, the shouts; the roamers moans and then suddenly ground to a halt just as that knife was plunged into the poor woman's heart.

Beth knew it was the right thing to do but the fact that it had been her father that had done it, shocked Beth, her sweet father who'd never harm anyone, who wasn't a crazy-ass-kill-everything roamer, and yet had managed to kill a human, harmed or not she was still a human.

Shaking her head, Beth actually found herself drawing closer to this new father she had acquired. Of course she was shocked but then a small wave of safeness rippled over her, it was as if she finally believed her father could get them out of this mess - He was strong, always had been, Beth had just been to blind to see he was hiding it only for his family.

They reached a barn that looked as if it had actually been left alone throughout all of this, however highly doubtful that was. Beth couldn't keep from wishing she'd finally found somewhere unmarked by the horror the world has become.

And so, the group walked into the barn, Alex leading the way; weapons poised to attack and somehow, by some kind of miracle, it was indeed empty.
Beth sat down heavily on some old hay, her feet aching from the long walk.

Hearing Alex talk about food and making beds, she looks up from her seat and asks "what do you need me to do?"
