Dwight reluctantly lowered himself to his knees but kept his eyes on Daryl and kit.
"look at me," rick hissed "why?" he asked why Dwight looked back to him,
"cause I want it stopped. I want negan dead." he whispered,
"so why don't you kill him?"
"it cants just be me. they're all negan."
"that girl you murdered-" tara started bending down in front of him, "she had a name. her name was Denise, and she was a doctor. and she helped people." her voice cracking.
" I wasn't aiming for her," he admitted. Kit saw it coming a mile away as she yanked tara out of the way, so Daryl didn't knock her down as he rushed forward, slamming Dwight into the wall and holding a knife to his face.
"do it. do it." tara plead
"you wanna end it this way. You go ahead. I'm sorry, I am. I know you want to. He owned me, but not anymore. What I did, I was doing it for someone else. She just got away. So now I'm here. like you're here because of your wife." Dwight's voice shook as he talked to Daryl, the knife so close to his eye the slightest jerk would result in a puncture.
"do it!" tara yelled
"there's another choice," Dwight offered him
"Daryl, you knew her." tara pleaded.
"negan trusts me. We can work together; we can stop him. You knew me then; you know me now. You know I'm not lying. I'm not" daryls breathing became increasingly unsteady as tara kept yelling for his death, till Daryl lowered the knife but didn't let go of him.
"negan's coming soon," Dwight said. Rick looked at him in question "tomorrow," he elaborated, "three trucks full, probably 20-30 saviors and him. I can slow them down, bring some trees down in the road buy a little time for you guys to get ready. If you can take them out, that's where we start. You kill them, I'll radio back to the sanctuary." rick shared a look with Daryl, then to kit, which turned, walking over to merle and giving him instructions.
" the sanctuary?" rick asked, playing dumb.
"where negan lives. That's what they call it. I can radio back to them and say everything is okay. You drive the trucks back, and I can lead you right inside, and with the right plan, we can wipe out the rest. then we get the workers on our side, build our numbers up and go from outpost to outpost and end this."
She shared a look with rick letting him know she was going to gather people and load the cars going to outpost one and the lookout points while merle radioed the kingdom and hilltop to get their stuff ready. After Dwight left, Jesus took Judith with him to the hilltop, which made kit break down a little bit, having to maybe say goodbye to her permanently.
The following day, before the sun was even up, everyone was gearing up for the day with a marked map and a radio. Delegations were made about where everyone was going and what they were doing. Eric and Aaron would lead a team to outpost one with the sheet-plated cars. Sasha, merle, and Richard would meet up and lead their group to go for the lookouts. Outposts two and three were divided between the kingdom and oceanside their formed groups decided by themselves. The king, along with his own group of choice and the hilltop, will be with Alexandria for the primary fight. Once killed or subdued, they would move on to the sanctuary.
It was afternoon by the time Kit was sat in her hiding spot, just waiting like everyone else after they saw Negan coming up the road with his posey. They radioed everyone to move in fifteen, given the king and Hilltop were still ten minutes out, and. they couldn't risk their moves getting back to Negan, who would immediately flee. They couldn't have that. Kit couldn't have that. A completely armored-covered car took the lead in the lineup, not slowing down as it headed straight for the gate. Rick quickly looked to rosita, who had the detonation button, but it didn't go off. Daryl, kit and rosita had just enough time to dive out of the way of the truck that came crashing thru the gate, knocking it right off its hinges and crashing into the spiked car they were previously hiding behind. Chaos broke out, and everyone was firing at everyone; some of the savior's guns were backfiring, killing them as other saviors swarmed thru the gates as the Alexandrians tried to keep cover and alive. Kit ducked behind a house to check her watch, having to wipe off the screen. She was covered in so much blood already, four minutes. She caught a savior by surprise who had tried coming up behind her but was, in turn, slammed against a wall; her knife lodged in his throat and yanked it to the side, blood sprayed as if it was a sprinkler directly onto her. Her once white crop tank now matched the red of her jacket. A sudden, alarming silence filled the air making her skin crawl.
" Honey, I'm home! And I suggest you get that hot ass out here. Do not make me have to count to three!" Negan yelled.
Kit looked at her watch and sheathed her knife as she moved around the house. Two and half minutes. She looked up from her watch to see a spread-out group of saviors at the end of the street and in the small field, and in the center were rick and carl on their knees. She could only hope Daryl had Jody. he put his hand up to stop her just outside the ring, not close to him, and every savior's eyes right her. "you, my dear, look like something straight out of a horror show."
"My apologies. You should have said you were coming, and I would have put on a dress." she sassed
" no, no, no, that wouldn't have stopped you. See, you have been a very, very naughty girl. Could of kept me wrapped around that finger just ruling the world, but no, you had to go and kill my filthy garbage friends. And you know how I know you did it? Those heels, doll. They left prints, not to mention they were the makers of that beautiful thing around your neck that I had so graciously gone out of my way to get for you. You had my men so freaked since then they've been calling you the reaper." he kissed his teeth " that's just not going to fly, baby. See, now it's punishment time because it seems you forgot just who I am. Now I gotta start all over again since you wanna go flashing your beach ball lady-size nuts to the world. It's over, wild cat." he sighed, rubbing his face. The radio clipped onto the back of her pants clicked twice; Simon heard and started to move forward but stopped when her predator-like eyes snapped to his.
"do you hear the reaper calling your name Simon? Cause you're all already dead," she asked with a twisted smile playing with what seems to be a reoccurring nickname.
"Enough! now I'm gonna have to kill carl, and then we are going home where you will learn respect or so help me, god!" negan screamed
"Nah. I want a divorce." she deadpanned, raising her gun and shooting Simon as shiva jumped out from behind the house next to the saviors and attacked the man next to negan. Ezekial, Glenn, and Maggie ran out from the same spot " end these saviors! Alexandria will not fall, not on this day!" Ezekial screamed. Two pipe bombs were thrown, killing several and injuring others. But kit had tunnel vision as she ran after her goal. Shiva took out a man in a beany that was taking cover behind a car as kit ran by, pushing her legs as fast as she could and tackling negan. She quickly climbed on top of him, hitting him repeatedly as he struggled to get his hands out from under her. A body slammed into her, knocking the wind out of her lungs before he took the opportunity to land a hit on her face and ribs before kit could get a good grip of her knife, stabbing the man's ribs then head. By the time kit had gotten his corpse of her and back onto her two feet, losing her radio in the process, negan was climbing into a black car and making a getaway. She growled, running to the closest car and tearing out of Alexandria after him, leaving everyone else in the dust despite how loud they screamed for her to stop. But she didn't; she let the part of her she was supposed to be keeping on a leash take hold of the wheel. Her knuckles were white as the scenery blurred and the tail lights came closer.
Meanwhile, rick is radioing the people in the outskirts about kits' abrupt change of plans. Merle, Sasha, and Richard radio back. They are headed to sanctuary in case she shows before rick or Daryl can get to her. But she never arrived, and neither did Negan. even when the sanctuary was cleared, a few friends, people lost, and people gained; even if they were technically prisoners, they were still no shows, and not a single person had seen them.
