Two Opposites | Daryl Dixon

Chapter 88: Almost Snapped

Nathan

The town was flooding with Savior's as they ransacked all of the houses of the Alexandrian's supplies. Men and women harassed the people in the buildings, making sure to take as much as they wanted. It was hard to watch.

He had never met these people before, but he did get stabbed by a small group of them before. With everything that happened, him and Samantha haven't gotten a chance to celebrate their marriage yet. It been way too chaotic for the group.

"Hey." Samantha muttered, staying close to her husband. "What do you think is going on with Lexa? You think she actually was using us?"

"Hell no."

Samantha raised the corner of her mouth into a smile. "So you also thinks it's incredibly stupid, yet she got her Uncles trust."

"But not everyone." Nathan replied, pointing his head over to a man eyeing the infirmary. "That man over there, I think his name is Simon. Ever since Lexa dragged Alexis in there he's been eyeing up the building and inching closer every minute."Nathan spoke truthfully as someone bumped into him. "Hey!"

The man looked him over before staring with hatred, his one eye that he had left was filled with daggers. "You! You're the one who did this to me!" he screamed, grabbing Nathan by the collar and pushing him against the wall. "You are your little girlfriend are gonna pay."

Nathan pushed him back hard. "Get the hell off me man!"

The man punched Nathan hard in the face, two other men grabbed onto Samantha to keep her back as a woman held Nathan down, the one-eyed man punched over and over into his face. The sounds around him started to all blend together as his face felt completely numb. The young man on the ground felt blood covering his entire face and going down his throat as he struggled to breath. Samantha cried out as she watched her lover get about almost beaten to death before a loud voice shouted out.

"HEY!" They all turned to see Negan, Rick, and a very beaten Daryl. Nathan's turn was slower than the rest as he noticed his leader staring down at him in worry. "Kenneth.... mind tell me what happened?" Negan asked.

"This is the sum bitch who took my eye. His girlfriend too."

Negan looked between the two, then back to Rick. "Well, seems only fair." The man was going to hit Nathan again but Negan grabbed his arm and pulled him back. "But what is a fair fight when you got someone holding him down for you." Negan pulled the man up and then signaled for them to pull Nathan up. "Well go ahead, get your revenge."

Nathan ducked under a blow, kicking the man back into the brick wall where he was just slammed against moments prier. His right eye was completely blocked from the swelling already, yet his hits were better than the other guys.

While the one-eyed man's attacks were heavy and hard, Nathan's were swift and hard. It was like the younger man was dancing around his opponent. After about a minute Nathan had him on the floor, completely knocked out after two or three punches to the face.

"Damn Kenny, you lost to someone who already took a beating! What's your name?"

He breathed heavy before taking a swift breath. "Nathan."

"You know Nathan, I like you. I like your spirit." It seemed like he went into a different thought. "Whatever happened to that sick girl? That seemed like a hell of a stressful night to her. The way she was carrying on... she was married to number two, right?" He saw a look in Rick's eyes. "Carefull.... careful how you're lookin' at me, Rick. Widows, especially ones that look like that..." He exhaled. "They... are special, I love 'em. Right after their husbands go they are just....empty inside." In a singing tone he continued. "But usually not for long." he laughed. "Ahh where is she? I would love to see her."
