Josephine Rogers Rhee POV

I stared shocked at the tiger. I felt terrified. Optimus gently rubbed my back. My four hounds growled.

I stood beside my brother and Rosita. "Who was killed?" Morgan asked. "Abraham. Glenn. Spencer, Olivia. We had to hide Jo's dragons. She thought Optimus and Maggie were dead. She wasn't there when it happened and she lost her child." I looked down and Optimus rubbed my back softly.

"Eugene and Josephine were taken. They took Daryl and he escaped with Jo and Marcella. Every second they're out here, they are target's. Are you gonna say you were right?" Rosita sneered at Morgan. "No... I'm... real sorry they're gone." Morgan said.

"Negan murdered Glenn and Abraham. The same night he terrorized Optimus and their real mother is somehow alive and she harrassed him, she had a decepticon rape him, beat him. Jo is scared to even let her dragons fly around and they're chained up to make sure they don't because she is scared to let Negan know she has them." Rick said.

I looked down and sighed.

I walked outside and saw a familiar bot. "Nemesis?!" He turned. "SISSY!" I ran into his holoform's arms.

He smiled and nuzzled into my neck. "Hey. Look at you. You got so damn big." I smiled and he kissed my forehead. I then saw Optimus walk up to him.

I was standing between Optimus and Nemesis. I sighed. My dragons shook themselves.

I saw Riley and she looked at me. Ezekiel was right beside me. "What's wrong with them?" He asked.

"They don't like being away from me. Half the time, they're in chains. They hate it. Only because they can't protect me." I said. Ezekiel nodded.

"May I...?" I nodded. He gently rested his hand on Riley's snout. She sniffed him and nudged him. He smiled.

I then sighed as I smiled at Daryl. I hugged him. "Be safe. Please. Don't die. I still need you" I told him. Daryl smiled and he rubbed my back.

He kissed my forehead. "I'll see you soon." I nodded.

I walked out with Rick and smiled at Daryl. I got on in the car.

I then saw a road block.

I then saw explosives. Nemesis bent down near them. "Wait. Nobody touch shit! It's for a herd. A big one." He said.

"We need these explosives." Optimus said. "Aright."

Nemesis started to mess with the circuits. Tara backed up. "Backing up is not gonna help if this thing goes off." He sneered.

"We have a code red. I need a search party. See if Daryl ran home like the dumb animal him and Josephine are!" Negan said over the radio.

Nemesis finally deactivated the first part of the bomb.

I stood on Riley's back. Predaking landed and  Optimus got on him.

We then saw the herd. "Optimus! Jo! Get out of here! You too, Nemesis!" Rick ordered. We then left.


Mom looked at Nemesis. "And he's your twin?" She asked. I nodded. "They're not identical but they are close to it." I explained.

Daryl came back and he barely talks to me. I sighed.

Some nights I'll have to run food to him just for him to eat. I try to comfort him but I know he's grieving just as much as I am.

Enid found me and me and Daryl hid somewhere.

We hid in an old storage room and Daryl had his knives on him prepared to defend me. I was scared. My dragons were chained up underneath Hilltop.

"Daryl." He shut the door. "Daryl!"

He got over to me and we hid.

A savior came in and Daryl gripped his knife. "Daryl!" I grabbed his bicep. He stopped. He walked out when it was safe.

"You were gonna kill that guy." I said. "He was gonna find us."

"He wasn't, and he didn't." I said. Daryl refused to look at me. "He deserved to die." He said.

"Ever since you got here, you won't say a word to me. Can you just look at me?" I asked.

He turned and I saw he was crying. "I'm sorry." He told me. I looked at him.

"I'm sorry."

"It wasn't your fault." I told him. "It was."

"No. It wasn't. You're one of the hood things in this world. I know because Dad knew it and he was one of the good things in this world too." I told him.

"And, uh... I want to kill that guy, too. And my mother. For what she did to Optimus. I want to burn them all alive. But we have to win." I hugged him.

"Help me win." I whispered. He nuzzled into my neck.

I was with Rosita. We led them to the cells and everyone saw Dwight and my mother. Daryl tried to get at Dwight but Rick stopped him. I could see the fury in Nemesis's eyes. Optimus was with mom.

I got in front of Daryl. "Hey." I put my hand on his chest. "It's okay." He calmed down.

Rick got Dwight and my real mother on their knee's. "That girl you shot, her name was Denise and she was a doctor." Tara said.

"I wasn't aiming for her." Jessica said. Nemesis snarled angrily and he tackled her to the wall his knife at her throat.

"Do it. Do it!" Tara yelled.

"Nemesis! She's the only way for us to kill Negan for what he did! She's not the one who did it. Starscream is!" Nemesis still kept her to the wall his knife to her neck.

"Hey..." I then gently touched his bicep. He growled but shoved Jessica to the wall. He grabbed her by the neck.

"Because I don't trust him. But I trust Nemesis and Josephine." Rosita said. Nemesis was half tempted to rip her head off right now. "Come on."

Me and him left.
