Daryl's Precious Gem: Iridescent (Daryl Dixon/ Negan Fanfiction)

26: Unwelcoming

"Welcome back." Negan approached me carefully as if I were a porcelain doll. His eyes inspected my body like he were taking every detail of me for the first time.

"I sure don't feel welcome." I shifted uncomfortably as I glanced around the room. Every Saviour stared with wide eyes or curiosity. It made me feel uneasy.

"What did they do to you?" I rubbed my arms as Negan examined my bruised face. My eyes shifted to the ground as I bit my lip. If only he knew the shit I had endured.

"Who is responsible for this?" Negan cupped my chin with his hand, bringing my gaze back up to him.

"Simon and the doctor." I gulped.

Negan's eyes darkened as he turned to his right and glared at the wide eyed Doc. "Doctor Mason?"

"You're still here?" I sent Mason a glare of my own as my teeth clenched.

Mason's eyes bugged out of his head as he tried to back away and escape. I raced after him and tackled him to the ground. Despite the pain I was in I pressed my knee on his chest while I landed punch after punch at his face.

"You traitor!" I screamed as my vision began to turn red. "You lying son of a bitch!"

After his face became bloody I was pulled away by Negan while Dwight held onto Mason.

"Easy there tiger." Negan spun me around so that I was facing him. "He can't hurt you now."

"I will not rest until he's dead!" My body shook with rage.

A smirk formed on Negan's face as he eyed the doctor. "Why don't you get reacquainted with your old group member up above while I take care of the doc."

My brows furrowed as I glanced above to the railing where Eugene stood. His long hair was slicked back with gel and in a ponytail. Unlike his normal attire he wore all black clothing along with a dusty black trench coat. I had forgotten that Eugene was recruited by Negan to make bullets. I prayed he wouldn't snitch out Alexandria, Hilltop, The Kingdom or The Coalition. That's the last thing any of them needed!

Gradually I made my way up the yellow steps until I reached the top railing where Eugene stood in utter shock.

"Hey." I nodded at him as his wide eyes stared at me.

"Long time no see." Eugene gulped as his gaze returned to Negan and the others that stood near the furnace.

"Indeed." I watched my surroundings to ensure Eugene and I were alone on the balcony. While Negan circled Doctor Mason and pointed Lucille at the trembling man menacingly I took a step closer to Eugene and whispered, "Everything you think you know is about to change."

"Wanna get me up to speed?" He whispered back as we continued watching the show below us.

"I never escaped. Simon held me in a cabin nearby and waited for this day to bring me back knowing that it was the only way Negan would even consider fighting him over the leadership role." I quickly explained as the Saviors gathered around Negan to watch the terror.

"Anything else?" Eugene spoke quietly.

"If you dare leak any information of what has actually happened I will slit your throat in your sleep! Understood?" I side eyed him, sending him a glare.

Eugene quickly nodded and gulped as we both turned our attention back to Negan's show.

"Why did you do it?" Negan asked Mason.

"I had no.."

"No choice?" Negan chuckled as he paced around the doctor. "Am I right in assuming that was what you were going to say, Doc?"
