Why Me?

~1 Month Later, Why Are You Doing This?, I Will Always Find You~

~Dallas' POV~

Daryl and I were woken up today by Darren running into the room jumping on us, I sighed shaking my head at him.

"Darren let your dad sleep, what's gotten into you?"

"Negan's here, and he's holding everyone in town hostage till he sees you."

I quickly woke up Daryl telling Darren to go to his room and lock the door, not to open it for anyone except Daryl, Carl, or I. Daryl and I got dressed grabbing our weapons and walking outside, I looked at Negan shaking my head.

"What the fuck is going on?"

"This is all for us Darlin, you and me, lets go."

I shook my head.

"No, my family is here, the man I love and my son is here, I'm not going anywhere."

I could tell he was pissed, he grabbed Judith and my heart stopped as Darren came running out of the house, Daryl grabbed him holding him back as Negan walked towards me still holding Judith.

"You come with me and I let this little girl live, you come with me and your family lives."

I shook my head as tears came to my eyes.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because when I want something I'll get it no matter whose head I have to split."

I let out a shaky breath nodding my head.

"Alright, but let me say goodbye to my family, pack my things, let go of Judith, and I'll come with you."

He smirked nodding his head, I took Judith in my arms as Carl, Daryl, and Darren followed me to the house. I set Judith down running upstairs packing my pack, Daryl came in leaning against the door frame.

"Ya really goin?"

I sighed, shaking my head trying to hold back my tears.

"I don't have a choice, he'll kill you, Darren, Carl, Judith you guys are all I have left, I can't lose you. So I'm gonna go and we'll figure something out, I'll get the trust of his followers and I'll come back. Just promise me one thing..."

He sighed and I turned looking at him.

"promise me you'll stay here, no more going out, Darren's losing his mom for the first time, he needs his dad."

He nodded his head pulling me into a tight hug before kissing my neck.

"I promise, I love ya Dallas, come home to me."

"I always do, just like you."

He sighed, holding me close.

"If ya ain't back within a month I'm comin for ya, I'm always gonna find ya."

I hugged him tight before pulling away, running out of the house and down to Negan. He gave me a smirk and I shook my head, as we began our walk towards the gate I heard the sound of my son crying and fighting to get to me.

"Mom!, Mom!, don't go, please!"

I held back my tears as he got loose and I saw Negan turn with Lucile ready to swing, I quickly pulled my gun pointing it at his head. He smirked turning to me before putting his bat down, I looked at Darren shaking my head.

"Baby go back to your dad, everything's gonna be fine."

"Take me with you."

I sighed, shaking my head.

"Who's going to protect Judith? She needs someone here, she loves you, she needs you."

"I need you."

"I'll always be around, I love you, and I'll find you."

I pulled him into a hug holding him close before pulling away and kissing his head, I looked at Daryl and he came over placing his hand on Darren's shoulder. I stood up looking at Daryl before giving him one last kiss, I pulled away taking a few steps back.

"I love you two, I'll see you again, I promise."

I put my gun in my waistband slinging my pack on my back and walking to Negan, who simply smirked before looking back at Daryl.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."

I knew Daryl wanted to fight, however when his Dixon blues met mine he knew that it would only hurt Darren. I grabbed Negan pulling him towards the gate holding back my tears knowing that the only thing that'll save me is my strength and will to get back to my family.

~Daryl's POV~

As I watched the smirk spread across Negan's face and his head nod, I knew that she was goin with him. He handed Judith to Dallas as Carl, and Darren followed me to the house, she set Judith down before runnin upstairs packin. I followed and as I watched her pack I sighed shakin my head leanin against the door frame.

"Ya really goin?"

She sighed and I knew that she was tryin to hold back tears as she shook her head.

"I don't have a choice, he'll kill you, Darren, Carl, Judith you're all I have left I can't lose you. So I'm gonna go and we'll figure something out, I'll get the trust of his followers and I'll come back. Just promise me one thing..."

I sighed and she turned lookin at me with sad green eyes that no longer shined.

"promise me you'll stay here, no more going out, Darren's losing his mom for the first time, he needs his dad."

I nodded my head pullin her into a hug kissin her neck.

"I promise, I love ya Dallas, come home to me."

"I always do, just like you."

I sighed holding her close until I knew that I had to let go.

"If ya ain't back within a month I'm comin for ya, I'm always gonna find ya."

She hugged me before pullin away and runnin out of the house, I sighed standin there all I could do was stay away. I knew that if I went out there I would do something that could get us all killed and I ain't riskin that, I can't. As I stood there I heard the front door open then close and knew that it was Darren, I ran out of the house just as Darren was shouting for Dallas.

"Mom!, Mom! don't go, please!"

I grabbed him holdin him back as Dallas froze and he pulled from my hold, I watched Negan turn with his bat ready to swing. Dallas pulled her gun and all I could do was smirk as she pointed it at his head, all he did was smirk. He turned to her puttin the bat down, she looked at Darren shakin her head, she dropped her bag lookin at our son, all I could do was stand there listenin.

"Baby go back to your dad, everything's gonna be fine."

"Take me with you."

She sighed shakin her head and I knew that I had made a mistake with him, he'd rather go away with her than stay with me and I knew that things had to change.

"Who's going to protect Judith? She needs someone here, she loves you, she needs you."

I knew that she possibly had him, however I was wrong as he sighed shakin his head.

"I need you."

"I'll always be around, I love you, and I'll find you."

She pulled him into a hug holdin him close before pullin away kissin his head, she looked at me and I placed my hand on Darren's shoulder. As she stood up she looked at me before givin me one last kiss, and pullin away takin a few steps back.

"I love you two, I'll see you again, I promise."

She put her gun in her waistband slingin her pack on her back walkin to Negan, who simply smirked before lookin at me.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."

At that moment I knew that I had to be the one to kill him, however I knew that now wasn't the time. As my eyes met her green ones one last time she knew that I would wait to get my revenge for the sake of my family. She grabbed Negan pullin him towards the gate and when the gate closed Darren ran, I knew the only person that'll save us just left with the devil I aim to kill.
