A Survivor's Diary of the Apocalypse (TWD/Daryl Dixon)

S6Pt23 - Last Day On Earth

The back doors to the van were opened and I had no clue where we were. I only saw bright lights and nothing else.
"Come on." Dwight said and pulled Daryl out of the back. "Got people to meet."
Another man grabbed me and more grabbed Glenn, Michonne, and Rosita. I stumbled out of the van and saw the rest of the group. They were kneeling down on the ground and we were surrounded by cars and probably over 50 guys.
Dwight separated me and Daryl, and I was forced to kneel down in between Abraham and Maggie. In order it was Glenn, Rosita, Daryl, Michonne, and Abraham to my right, and Maggie, Rick, Sasha, Aaron, Carl, and Eugene to my left.
"Maggie." Glenn said, clearly worried for her.
I noticed she looked sick. She was covered in sweat, crying and in pain, and she was holding her stomach. That couldn't be good.
"Alright!" A man yelled, catching all of our attention. "Let's meet the man!"
There was an RV in front of us, and the man opened the door. Another man walked out, and he was tall, broad, wearing a leather jacket with a red scarf, and carried around a barbed wire bat. He jumped off the step of the RV onto the ground, and swung his bat to rest on his shoulder.
"We pissing our pants yet?" He taunted. "Boy, do I have a feeling we're getting close. It's gonna be peepee pants city real soon."
The man then walked forwards and looked at all of us, pointing his finger around.
"Which one of you pricks is the real leader?" He asked.
"This one." A man said and pointed at Rick. "That's the guy."
I saw Rick, and he didn't look good either. He was sweating, covered in blood from before, and his eyes were watering. He was bent over when the man squatted down in front of him, and then sighed.
"Hi. You're Rick, right? I'm Negan." The man said, and Rick's eyes widened. "And I do not appreciate you killing my men."
Negan's voice was deep, but calm. Rick began shaking and I couldn't help but shake out of fear too.
"Also, went I sent my people to kill your people for killing my people, you killed more of my people." He said and stood up straight. "Not cool. Not cool. You have no idea how not cool that shit is. But, you'll be up to speed shortly." He said and then got real close to Rick's face. "You are so going to regret crossing me in a few minutes." He said and smiled, even chuckled. "Yesss, you are."
Negan stood up again and paced in front of us, watching, thinking, making us feel afraid.
"You see Rick, whatever you do, no matter what, you do not mess with the new world order. The new world order is this and it's really very simple. So even if you're stupid, which you very well may be, you can understand it." Negan said and his voice was loud but calm. "You ready? Listen up, pay attention."
Negan dropped his bat in front of Rick's face, which made him flinch and look away. "Give me your shit, or I will kill you."
He backed up and pointed at some of us, including me and Maggie. Rick looked back at Negan, and he continued.
"I know some of you know who I am and what I can do.. You work for me now. You have shit, you give it to me. That's your job... I know this is a big pill to swallow, but you'll sure as hell swallow the whole damn thing." He said and looked at all of us again, then stopped in front of Rick.
"You built something Rick. You thought you were safe. I get it. But the word's out, you're not safe.. not even close... You are pegged if you don't give me what I want, and what I want is half your shit. If that's too much, you can find, make, or steal more and it'll even out sooner or later." He said and bent down in front of Rick again, smiling at the fear. "This is your way of life now. The more you fight it, the harder it will be. If someone walks to your door and knocks, you open that door. We own that door. You try to stop us and we'll knock it down." Negan said and held his bat up to Rick's head. "You understand?"
Rick trembled and couldn't manage to speak. Negan just smiled and cupped his hand to his ear.
"What?" He whispered to Rick. "No answer?"
Rick stayed quiet and no one else knew what to say. We were all too scared. Negan then scratched his beard and paced in front of us again.
"Now, you didn't think that you'd get out of this without a punishment, did you?" Negan said and shook his head. "I don't want to kill you people. I want to make that clear from the get go. I want you to work for me, and you can't do that if you're dead, now can you?" He said and rested his bat back on his shoulder. "But, you killed my people. A whole damn lot of them. A lot more than I'm comfortable with, and for that... that you gotta pay. So now.." He said and smiled. "I'm gonna beat the holy hell out of one of you."
He held the bat in front of Rick's face, and twirled it.
"This is Lucille, and she is.. awesome! And all this talk is for which one of you gets the honor." He said.
Negan walked to the left of Rick, holding the bat in front of everyone's face. He stopped in front of Carl and tilted his head.
"You had one of our guns. You have a lot of our guns." Negan said, but Carl just stared at him with no emotion. "Shit kid. Lighten up." He said and squatted down in front of Carl. "At least cry a little."
Negan then just chuckled and walked back towards Rick's direction. He stopped in front of Maggie and looked at her.
"Jeeesus! You look shitty!" He laughed and tightened his grip on his bat. "I should just put you out of your misery right now."
"No!" Glenn yelled, and got up, trying to grab Negan.
Men ran up and pinned him on the ground, and Dwight aimed his crossbow right in Glenn's face.
"Stop it!" Maggie weakly cried.
"Nope." Negan said, a little frustrated. "Nope, get him back in line."
Glenn was dragged back in line and forced to kneel, and he just yelled in frustration.
"Don't." He begged. "Don't."
Negan then looked at Glenn, then Maggie, and grinned.
"Alright, listen up. Don't ANY of you do that again. I will shut that shit down, no exceptions! First one is free, it was an emotional moment. I get it." Negan said and then looked at Rick who was trembling. "Sucks, don't it? The moment you realize you don't know shit."
Negan was silent for a second, and smiled again once he looked at Carl. He pointed his bat at Rick, then Carl.
"This is your kid, right?" Negan asked and got closer to Carl with his bat, who still was unphased. "Hahaha, this is definitely your kid."
"Just stop this!" Rick finally spoke.
"Hey!" Negan yelled with a deep voice. "Do not make me kill the future little serial killer. Do not make it easy for me." He said and held his chest.
I just shook my head and felt tears start to stream down my cheeks. I looked at Carl, hoping that nothing bad would happen to him.
"I gotta pick somebody." Negan said and held out his arms. "Everyone's at the table waiting for me to order."
He slowly walked in front of us, whistling a tune, and watching us. He then smiled and shook his head.
"I simply cannot decide..." He said and then held up his pointer finger. "I got an idea."
He walked forwards and held the bat in front of Rick's face.
"Einy. Meeny.. miney. Mo." Negan said, pointing the bat randomly at us. "Catch. A tiger." He then held the bat up to Daryl's face.
"By... it's toe. If.. he hollers. Let em go... My mother." Negan said held the bat close to my face. "Told me.. to pick. The very.. best.. one. And... you.. are... it."
The bat ended on Abraham, who was right next to me. I gasped and closed my eyes. Abraham showed no fear though, and sat straight up and stared Negan down.
"No... no no no.. this can't be real." I thought, my words becoming panicked in my head.
"Anybody moves, anybody says anything, cut the boy's other eye out and feed it to his father, and then we'll start."
Sasha began crying and Rosita was in shock, on the verge of tears as she watched Abraham.
"You can breathe. You can blink. You can cry. Hell.. You're all gonna be doing that!"
Negan quickly raised his bat above his head and in a split second, he bashed Abraham's head. He slumped forwards and blood squirted from his head. 
Rosita screamed and bent over, and Sasha cried. I gasped again and watched as Abraham tried to sit back up.
"Oh. Look at that!" Negan said loudly. "Taking it like a champ!"
"Suck..." Abraham slowly said. "My... nuts."
Negan grunted and raised his bat, hitting Abraham hard in the head again. Abraham fell face first into the gravel, and this time he didn't get back up.
Negan continued to smash Abraham's head. Swing after swing. Hit after hit. He was now dead, and Negan's final blow splattered his brains across my face. I flinched and felt more tears stream down my face and neck.
I looked at Abraham's body and shook with fear, but also rage. He was unrecognizable, there was nothing left. I then looked up at Negan, who was smiling at his accomplishment.
I then glanced over at Daryl, who was completely in shock at what just happened. He looked at me, and I've never seen this much fear in his eyes before.
I couldn't help but just close my eyes at that moment and cry. I couldn't do anything else, but cry.
