The Walking Dead One Shots

I Love You - Daryl Dixon

This ones a sad one lmao. Sorry! It's Negan's introduction scene but I've altered it a little. Forgive me if there's any mistakes, I'll check later on :)

Muffled voices from outside and heavy breathing was all to be heard. Me, Daryl, Michonne, Rosita and Glenn had all been taken and put into the back of an old van.

The door flung open and the blinding lights shone directly into my eyes, blocking my vision for a few moments. "Come on. You got people to meet." They dragged Daryl out first, then Michonne, Rosita, Glenn and lastly, me. The man who dragged us out was towering me, and I couldn't help but stare at the large burn mark on the side of his face, He noticed, and shoved me onto the ground, earning a grunt from Daryl. He was sat there with a blanket on him, it was covered with his blood. We both shared a glance, and I mouthed "I love you" to him. He looked away, not answering. I knew deep down that someone was going to die and if it was either of us, at least I got to say some form of goodbye.

"All right!" The man standing in front of us all spoke. You could hear the grin in his voice. "We got a full boat. Let's meet the man." There was a deafening silence while we all waited helplessly for their leader. My heart was beating out of my chest and I was suddenly very aware of my breathing. Was this it? Was our little group's luck about to run out?

He stood there for a moment, just staring and smiling at us. He took pleasure in seeing us all helpless. "Pissing our pants yet? Boy, do I have a feeling we're getting close." I'd never felt this scared in my whole life. Just from these few words, I knew this man was going to ruin our lives. He was confident, arrogant, and he was feared by all who surrounded him.

"It's gonna be pee-pee pants city here real soon. Which one of you pricks is the leader?"

"It's this one. He's the guy." The man from earlier said quietly.

The leader strode towards Rick, baseball bat in hand. He sighed. "Hi. You're Rick right? I'm Negan. And I do not appreciate you killing my men. Also, when I sent my people to kill your people for killing my people, you killed more of my people. Not cool, not cool. You have no idea how not cool that shit is. But, I think you're gonna be up to speed shortly. Yeah."

I had never seen Rick this frightened in the whole amount of time I've been with this group. There was nothing we could do to get out of this situation and Rick new this. There was nothing he could do to help any of us. We were done for.

"You are so gonna regret crossing me in a few minutes. Yes, you are. You see, Rick, whatever you do, no matter what, you don't mess with the new world order. And the new world order is this, and it's really very simple. So, even if you are stupid, which you very may well be, you can understand it. You ready? Here goes, pay attention." Lowering the bat in front of Rick's face, he continued to speak. "Give me your shit... or I will kill you."

There was a grin on his face made me feel sick. I had never felt rage like this before. He started pacing around our group, waving his bat ever so slightly when he spoke. "You work for me now. You have shit, you give it to me, That's your job! Now I know that that is a mighty big, nasty pill to swallow, but swallow it you most certainly will."

He got closer to Rick's face now. "You thought you were safe. But the word is out. You are not safe. Not even close. You don't really think that you were gonna get through this without being punished now did you?" That right there, is what I was afraid of hearing. I met Daryl's gaze, who was losing blood rapidly, and smiled softly to him, trying to reassure him that we would be okay. "I love you too." He mouthed in response to what I had said earlier. He knew it too, that this was the end for us. That was enough to make me start crying. I prayed silently that we would be okay, but now? Now I wasn't so sure that we would be.

"....and for that- for that you're gonna pay. So now.... I'm gonna beat the holy hell outta one of you." he waved the bat around again, showing it off with pride. "This- this is Lucille, and she is awesome. All this, all this is just so we can pick out which one of you gets the honour."

He scoped us all out, deciding which one of us he wanted to kill first. First Abraham, then Carl and then Maggie, earning a plea of desperation from Glenn.

"The first one's free. It's an emotional moment I get it. Sucks don't it? The moment you realise you don't know shit."

"Just stop this!" This was the first time Rick spoke. He tried asserting his dominance but it was no hope.

"Hey! Don't make me kill the little future serial killer. Don't make it easy on me. I gotta pick somebody." He started whistling. I had never felt more uncomfortable. "I simply can not decide. I got an idea. Eenie...meenie...miney...mo."

He was deciding who got to die, with eenie meenie miney mo. Prick

"Catch... a tiger.." He pointed at Daryl and my heart stopped. "by... it's toe. If.. he hollers... let him go. My mother...told me... to pick...the very best one..." He was pointing at everyone with Lucille. I couldn't hear anything. There was a pounding in my head and a ringing in my ears.

"And you..." He got closer.

Are..." Please, no.

It..."

I looked up. 'It' was me. I looked over to Daryl who was sobbing. "Please, don't. I'm- I'm pregnant!"

"You're what?" Daryl's voice broke, I hadn't gotten the chance to tell him yet. I didn't want him to find out like this.

"Now you wanna know what I think? I think, that that is a desperate attempt to live. And that shit won't fly here. So, anybody moves, anybody says anything, cut the boys other eye out and feed it to his father and then we'll start." I started to cry, knowing I'd never get to see my family again, knowing that I'd never see Daryl again, knowing that my child would never get to live. "You can breathe, you can blink, you can cry. Hell, you're all gonna be doing that.

The bat collided with my skull and a pain like no other appeared. Blood gushed down into my eyes and there was a deafening ringing in my ears. All I could hear was the screaming and the crying of my family. The family I would never see again. "Y/N!" Daryl screamed, as he jumped off of the floor to run to me, but he was quickly restrained by the guy with the burn mark.

"Ho! Taking it like a champ! Sit him back down would you please, gentlemen?"

"Dar.. Daryl...I love you. We were- we were having a girl."
