The Huntress - Daryl Dixon BOOK ONE

Part 47

The sanctuary

Eugene had been here a few weeks now and you was finally in a place where you got to see him, Negan trusted you to be left alone as you had proved yourself, you figured Negan was falling for you more and more everyday, part of you felt bad because behind closed doors the man wasn't awful but your kids Rick Daryl and all the others included big red Maggie and Glenn was always in the back of your mind, you both had secret conversations about how you was going to set up Negan and his men, how he would eventually  make bullets that back fired instead of hitting your family, but we needed to keep it under wraps couldn't have anyone think we was against them so just like I had to Eugene became a fully pledged Negan himself.

It was another day on a run with Gavins group, Negan had the talk with all of them about how they treat you, you also had a chat with him about how they treat the other groups, if they are doing as he had said there was no need to push it any further and kids are out of the question and because you really didn't know the kingdom bar Morgan which they didn't know he was more willing to listen and speak to his men because you wasn't doing it in his eyes to protect your family so hopefully today goes a lot smoother.

Outside the kingdom

We arrived and the same people stood waiting around "things have been tense and that makes me tense and I don't need that no. Just the opposite, so let's get to it do you have todays offerings" the truck was pretty much empty bar some melons "I want your guns to" everyone pulled there weapons though you realised there was some men from Negans group to again pull them out on you "we didn't agree to that" the boss said " well you got a choice, same one that's been there since the beginning, I guess, you can give up your guns, or you could try use them" you watched everyone

"wait wait, Negan literally spoke to you lot before we left why are you doing this" you stood your ground "you don't get to tell me what to do" Gavin spat at you "I haven't told you shit what to do but your leader has do you want me to go back and tell him that you threatened these people" he looked at you knowing what would happen if Negan was mad, Jake started mocking them before you stepped in "ey newly burnt marshmallow I dunno why you think your some big man because your really not." The glare you got from him was deadly, the conversation went back and forth as they debated what was going to happen, you was pissed, this wasn't listening to yours or Negans rules and you was going to tell him what happened

"You guys have proven that you don't do so good with emotion, we said 12 I count 11" the boss Ezekiel was sure the 12 was there but from the looks of things it was definitely only 11, his confused face proves to you he had no clue there was only 11 not 12, again more words were spoken "we're gunna teach you" your head snapped up at the words "we don't have to do anything Gavin" you went to grab his arm but he pushed you down on the floor "oh shut up" Jake held a gun to a guys face "just do it" he spoke "okay" Jake answered before his gun moved to who he was pointing it at and before anyone had time to react the teenage boy that came with them was now shot.

flashes of Carl came Into your mind and red blurred your vision, the boys screams haunted you before anyone could react you grabbed Morgan's stick and attacked Jake over and over using your training to hurt the man before you stabbed him through the bottom of his mouth out of his head "STOP! Get in the truck, don't do and say a goddamn word" you laughed "I don't listen to you" you pointed a gun in his face, he glared at you before speaking to Ezekiel again, you walked up to Gavin punching him in the face "go patch him up I hope he's okay"  you looked at Ezekiel with sorrow he nodded at you and slightly smiled

You turned to go to the car, the other men you was with watch you with wide eyes scared to do anything because of how Negan was but you looked at them, "well don't just stand there get in the fucking car" you snapped as you climbed in, trying to wipe the blood off your hands and face from Jake.

The sanctuary

You slammed the car door "Negans going to hear about this" you stopped and turned and looked at Gavin raising your eyebrows "oh you think I didn't know that you think I'm not on my way to find him right now to tell him about you and your shit show of a group" you spat out at him as he stood closer trying to intimidate you "you do realise iv worked around men and been around men who think they are the dogs bollocks for my whole life you don't scare me" he glared at you "well maybe I should", you hadn't realised the crowd it was creating until you hear the voice of the big man himself "what in the fuck is going on here" he looked from you to Gavin to the group that had just got back

"Negan sir, she's not good she can't keep coming on outings she's not one of us, she killed one of us" the glares you got from everyone was enough to kill even Negan looked shocked "nah bullshit I'm not having the blame all on me, you told your men to treat me the same, amd with respect because I'm your girl and none of them have, I get they was 1 just 1 melon short I get you had to teach them a lesson okay and Jake had his target for weeks on end, he was suppose to kill the man" you looked around finding Negans eyes once more "but he shot the kid" Negans eyes widened knowing fully well that would be one reason you'd go crazy "he done nothing and he shot him, he's going to die it hit an artery I said to them to sort it out but there's no way, there was way to much blood flowing from that kid and I..i seen red, he's just a kid" Negan nodded "she punched me in the face" you flipped round to Gavin "you pushed me down, you had been treating me like shit all day, even when guns were drawn towards the other group, I seen you and a few others aiming at me I'm not an idiot"

Negan didn't like the sound of that "now now, I don't like the sound of my men disrespecting my woman, you seen what happened with Jake last time, I know your mad he's now dead but I told you all this morning kids where now out of the question and he chose himself to disobey if lyric hadn't of killed him I would have, to set an example, I mean I guess now you guys finally see she's got some big lady sized nuts so start paying attention, Gavin you and your men will come speak to me in my office privately to discus your punishment" "for what" he back chatted "for the way you all treated my lady" he walked away arm wrapped around your shoulder you grinned knowing he was in deep.
