No Tomorrow

.

I hissed and he laughed, all of the memories of the men who captured me when the world first went to shit rang clear in my head like wind chimes.

"Yeah, I thought so. Still the little prick tease that I remember, tell me something..."

The man brandished a long knife from one of his pockets and ran the tip of his tongue along the sharp edge of the blade and waggled the thing at me with an air of cockiness.

"Where's your night in shining armor now? Hm? Oh, that's right-"

He took a step in my direction and I backed myself up into a defensive crouch with my arms raised ready to fight, I was weak the last time I was around this pedophilic bastard but this time I felt prepared.

"He's in our custody~ hm...I should have him killed for killing all my brothers back then you know..."

The fight seemed to leech out of my muscles and he lunged at me swinging the knife around wildly, I blew some strands of hair out of my eyes and redirected his attack by smacking his wrist back but he was ready for that; he swung around again but this time he aimed to grab me by the throat. I smashed two of his fingers so hard that they broke at the joints and he jumped back as he howled in pain and fury.

"You know what, I don't think I'm gonna bother with keeping you alive anymore."

He pulled a hand held gun out from the waist band of his jeans and cocked it before he aimed it at my head, my heart skipped a beat and my stomache fluttered nervously.

Huh?....

I tried to touch my belly but he pointed the gun to the left of my head and fired before he pointed it back to my head again.

"I don't think so, hands where I can see them bitch. I take it that you don't want your man toy dead so why don't you come with me then?"

"....go right to fucking hell."

He lowered the gun's muzzle to a spot in my left arm before he fired it just below my shoulder and I screamed in pain before groping at the wound with my right hand.

"Oh trust me sweetheart, I'm already there."

Jay's POV:

When I heard the gunshot go off I turned my head around behind me and cocked my ears flat against my skull, the blue truck had stopped chasing me when the first shot rang out but the second one had my fur standing on end; could they have found her?

Maybe....I just hope that she took my warning to heart..

Somewhere far off the men were shouting with glee and the truck revved before I heard it drive off, I turned back around and traced my scent back the way I'd come, my mind a dense mess of foggy thoughts. I tried to keep my thoughts secretive around Belle about why she shouldn't change because I often thought of what happened the last time when we were still at the prison, we hadn't made love too often....but a part of me was worried that since our genes were so similiar, that they were more compatible then what she and Daryl had been.

I'm so sorry Holly.....it just should have been with you...but I think I fucked up a bit, huh?

I launched myself over a fallen tree and kicked it into third gear when I got closer, of course I wanted to have a family with Holly but she'd died before we got the chance to even try; I didn't really think about being a father much after that but it warmed the very edges of my heart to think that I might be one with Belle.

Holly...a part of me will always love what we had in that slim time frame but it's time for me to move on....if she's pregnant, then I want to be the best father I can be. I'll meet you in heaven one day...and then you can yell at me all you want there..

I smashed into the clearing and went to the place where I hid Belle, I found my clothes but also small spots of crimson dusted the leaves not far away where Belle should have been; I snarled and slammed my paws into the ground until little bits of leaves drifted up into the air.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

I grabbed all of my clothes in my teeth, ugh, and booked it back to Alexandria at the fastest speed I ever bothered to take my wolf body.

"Look, I'm sorry I just thought she'd want to see where it happened- it's my fault that they took her too, I'll admit that. I can get her back on my own Rick, I don't need any help this time."

"No, you won't. We'll wait until Negan and his people come here before you do anything rash."

I snarled my annoyance and Michonne wasn't far away from him with her hand resting on the hilt of her katana, glaring at me but for all it was worth she was merely background noise that I could easily tune out.

"Rick, I'm begging you....I hate to remind you but we've helped you out so much in the past...please, I need to get her. She might be pregnant with my child and I don't know what they'll do to her.....I can't just do nothing!"

He offered me a sad smile but just shook his head from side to side.

"You were there last night Jay, Negan knows who you are but for right now, he doesn't know about her even being here. Don't risk anything for our family by trying something stupid, alright? She'll come back to us I'm sure of it, they both will. I just ask that you give me a few days."

I curled my shaking hands into fists until the tremors stopped enough for me to draw in a deep breathe.

"Fine, but if something happens to her I'm never forgiving any of you."
