I knew him before he was a monster

part 5 we are all Negan

summary: Negan tells jess when she needs to be Negan 

" all of my saviours have a new name , they are all Negan , so I will ask you again who are you , and also all of my saviours kneel for me" Negan says

I push Negan away to try and create some space between us , im honestly really missing the old Negan and im starting to doubt bringing the old Negan back, he is gone

I get in Negan's face " no offence but I do not kneel for no man and I will not start now "looking up at Negan looking dead serious, but before I even have a chance to think im pushed against the wall and Negan roughly grabs my throat putting a bit of pressure
now I knew I fucked up because Negan is pissed

" Look darling I have a soft spot for you, I really do but I can't have you being disrespectful to me by not kneeling like everyone else in this place because that is a big no no , what would my people think of me if I let that slide , they would think that I have gone soft and I cannot have that, listen darling kneeling for me isn't you submitting to any man no, doing that is just showing that you respect me and if you want to be one of my people then you have to respect me , I know what your like though you say you won't kneel but then again if you are around and everyone else kneeled for me I can guarantee that you would too because you would be too embarrassed to be the only person not on their knees , I really care about you so I don't want to have to try and break you by sticking you in a cell and giving you dog food because that would just tear me apart so all im asking is for some respect , if you don't agree with something i do , please do not call me out in front of my men because if you do that then I am going to have to punish you , but when we are alone it is fine" Negan walks back towards his seat awaiting for my answer as I go towards him waiting for Negan to ask the question again

" so one more time who are you " Negan says still looking pissed, I've made up my mine if I want to try and change him a bit to who he was then I need him to trust me and I need to get close to Negan again and that is exactly want im going to do

" Im Negan " I look up into his eyes and see a proud look on his face with a big grin all his anger is gone

" oh yes you are darling, he chuckles "so down to business I need to see you in action, so how about this tomorrow I need you to fight my top girl arat , if you can beat her in a fight then you may become one of my saviours if not then you will have to get a job and go on the points system and by beat her I mean you and her will have a fight no weapons allowed you have to knock her out to win"

I get up and give Negan a tight hug which he embraces " I won't let you down Negan "

" I know you won't darling after all I have seen you in action plenty of times before all of this so , I am looking forward to it , I have very high expectations for you
