Apocalypse

Twenty-Nine

"I've thought things over Phoenix" Deanna says as I am with her "I have also spoken with my people and we would be happy to join your settlement" it's just me and my mates since we are having a library put in.

"I'm glad" I offer her a smile "you and your people feel that joining us would be the right option" nodding her head "it'll take a few days since I imagine your people need to pack their things up, but know that when you arrive places will be ready for you. I hope they know that they will be given apartments and not houses cause I don't want them to be upset about it given how they have these huge homes only to be given an apartment"

"Are the apartment complexes big?" She asks, I nod my head "they shouldn't have a problem"

"I'm going to need a list of people so that each person will be given the appropriate place" I say "you know? Size wise"

"Of course" handing me a paper of information "if you don't mind me asking, I've heard some talk of the Saviors"

"Yes" nodding my head "their this group who I have never met but my people and I are prepared to fight them if it comes down to it, if they prove to be hostile"

"Have you ever encountered hostile people?" She asks

"Terminus" looking her way as I stand up "rapists and torturers" she gulps hearing that "we ended them make no mistake about that...I understand that it'll take time for some of your people to trust my group but if you've been through what many of us have then you wouldn't be so hesitant"

~Time Skip~

"Phoenix" John is by my side as we look down from the wall to the outside of the wall. Three of our people have been kidnapped by the Saviors so I had Demetri leave with Bryce and Kate to try to get our people back but also to kidnap one of the Saviors "Demetri will be safe" despite my protests my daughter and mate promise to keep one another safe and to bring each other back. Bryce is pregnant so Kate will make sure along with Demetri's that she is safe.

"I'm pregnant" he stares at me "I found out earlier today" John smiles picking me up and spins me around setting me down after before kissing me. Kissing him back for a moment, I pull away to say "Demetri better come back"

"He will" promising me "even if I have to drag him back, he'll be back" looking to inside of the wall we see a bunch of people laughing and also someone giving story time. A library is currently in the works, we will be putting many books here. Amun has a library of his own back in Egypt where he's having all the books and scripts coming in. Over two thousand copies, so I'm having a very large library be created.

The gates soon open and we see Demetri come back with Glen and Michonne. Michonne is someone Rick fell for, Lori tries to be civil with Michonne but she's finding it hard since she still loves Rick. I go down quickly to Demetri who looks my way, I jump into his arms kissing him.

He kisses me back, pulling away he smiles "I like this welcome home"

"I'm pregnant" Bryce, Kate, Glen and Michonne soon leave me and Demetri.

Demetri stares at me before smiling to kiss me again, setting me down he placed a hand on my belly "A baby?" Nodding my head "how far?"

"About ten weeks" I say. Demetri holds me to him and I soon feel another set of arms around me, I know that it's John "The Saviors?"

"Led by some man named Negan" Demetri tells me "I'll tell someone else"

"Just because I'm pregnant" I say "doesn't mean I can't do anything"

"What do you know about these Saviors?" John asks

Demetri clicks his tongue "I left with Bryce and saw their compound" he did what? She did what? They did what? "Most of the people were forced there, if Mimmi and Greer were to open a portal we could get the humans that were forced to be there out"

"I think we need to send a message" I say to him "let him know that I think it's time we meet"

"Phoenix" Felix appears next to me "some more witches have come back with their families and-we have about two dozen new people"

Nodding my head "Get them situated, make sure they know that we have a place for any herbs they brought with them. If there are any children, let the parents know that we have a playground for them and any books they brought with we are having a library be created" he nods his head leaving.

"Also" Tanya comes over "Carmen and Eleazar told me that they found a group that lives in the Kingdom, they know more about the Saviors and are owned by them"

"It seems" I say "we need to expand this place" those around me stare at me "let's talk to the leader of the Kingdom and if they agree with me then we can add them to Elysium, but also best we steal people from the Saviors"

"Are you sure?" Felix asks "cause what if some of them are loyal to this Negan?"

"That has crossed my mind" I say "but who knows? You don't know until you try"

"And those who don't prove to want peace?" Kate asks

"Death"
