The Huntress - Daryl Dixon BOOK ONE

Part 35

Hilltop

"Dr Carson was able to patch Gregory up" you all nodded "so what happens now" rick asked Jesus "we heard the name Negan" you nodded along "a while back Daryl and Abraham had a run in with his men, who is he" you snapped your head to Daryl only now just hearing about this he avoided your eye contact and paced towards Rick, your mind was filled with every time he went out and he's only ever gone out with red when the walker herd was being done, "Negan is the head of a group of people he calls the saviors, soon as we was built they shown up, they met Gregory on behalf of their boss, they made demands and more threats and he killed Rory who was 16, beat him right in front of us" Jesus went on and on about what they did and what they demanded telling us Gregory wasn't good at confrontation, "half of everything was the deal" Jesus continued "and what do you get" Daryl questioned, you still glared at him from behind for keeping this secret from you "they don't attack or kill us" we all went back and forth on why they didn't kill, them and we came up with the idea that we would get rid of Negan if he sorted us out with food medication and a cow.

"Gregory wants to talk" Rick started walking towards him "he uh wants to talk to Maggie and lyric" you was shocked he wanted to see you again "alright although I don't know why he'd want to talk to me I put him in his place last time, Maggie sure, Deanna was right about her" you spoke walking towards the door "I'm sorry in advance Gregory can be a real prick" "oh we know"

Gregory was trying to get sympathy but not from me, you stood in the back ground as Maggie and Gregory spoke, I guess more so your a body guard someone there if Maggie needed the help, Maggie really was becoming someone who could run a place soon and she worked on the deal and got what we wanted.

On the road

You was all on your way to Negans outpost, last night you spoke to the rest of your group and came up with a plan, you stopped the car jumping out as horns where going off attracting walkers we need one that looks close to Gregory so we could get hilltops man back

Rick went over the plan we all stood listening, Maggie was here so you knew you would stay back to protect her and guard the perimeter, Rick needed my help but she needs it more so he agreed, Jesus lined up walker heads that looked closer to Gregory "good job we are doing this at night" he spoke " why something wrong" you walked between the men "the nose is different" you picked up the walker head and started punching it in the nose, your group looked on smirking some even chuckling at you, Jesus and his buddy was more surprised "he fought back he broke your hand" Rick spoke looking from Gregory to the guy I didn't learn the name off, he was staring at you "what" you questioned " the saviours they are scary but those pricks ain't got nothing on you" you smiled at the man "why thank you" you walked over to Daryl swinging your arms over his head "you stay safe out there okay" "hmmmhmm sure baby"

Negans compound

You stayed back the others left a few hours ago, wasn't until an alarm blared that put you in defence mode "there in trouble" you spoke quickly walking through the trees "stay here" Carol spoke to Maggie "no" they both got into it Carol didn't like the fact she was pregnant and out here but she's her own person she can do what she wants, god forbid I'm ever pregnant and the person who tried to stop me they will not like me after that.

"They need our help let's stop arguing and go" you snapped at Carol, walkers came our way "you are staying here" Carol still went on at Maggie, you was stood by a tree a few feet from the others, a man rustled out into the clearing Maggie and Carol scrambling for there guns, the guy raised his to shoot them but you shot first, "Maggie let's go" Carol was now shouting, you and Maggie ran over to the man "not until it's done" you spoke gun over the guy, a new voice spoke "stop" a gun soon shoved in your face, you turned seeing there was a gun on all three of you, knowing this was going to be a little difficult to get out off "guns knives on the ground now."  You nodded to the girls doing as they said

Morning came quicker than expected you was still caught with the unknown people, watching through a fence at the compound, a bike rumbled, you couldn't see that far out the red head had binoculars to see "it's primo" "damn it they've got him. Give me the walkie" she demanded to the guy " lower your gun prick" she stopped for a second " you with the colt python, all of you lower your weapons right now" your heart raced knowing she was talking about Rick especially, "come on out let's talk." Ricks voice crackled through the walkie "we are not comming out but we will talk, name?" She looked over at us "I'm lyric that's Maggie and Carol" you snapped at the red head, she lifted her arm talking into the walkie again "we've got a carol Maggie and lyric, I'm thinking that's something you want to chat about" you just knew Daryl and Rick would be going crazy at the thought of you being taken, "it will go our way" she continued "you can see we have one of yours, we'll trade" ricks voice cracked through the walkie again "I'm listening" "first I want to talk to Maggie Carol and lyric make sure they're alright" she walked to us warning us in case we tried anything "Rick it's Carol I'm..I'm fine but.." she was cut off "Rick it's Maggie were all okay" and next she walked to me "Rick, we will win" you smirked at the girl just as a blow to the stomach happened, you leaned over trying to catch your breath, as another blow came to your head from the but of a gun nearly knocking you unconscious, you didn't hear what else they was talking about just trying to breath again "I'll get back to you" the red head Paula spoke, you jacket was three over your head as you walked through the trees
