The Huntress - Daryl Dixon BOOK ONE

Part 51

The sanctuary

We got back. everyone in the sanctuary was getting shit sorted "everyone's on blue level" Dwight spoke Negan looked over to him,myself and Eugene following "you say the word, they're ready to go." Negan nodded "that's good", he turned looking at Eugene pointing his bat at him "how the hell do you think she wound up dead in that box" "my um best possible posit fingers the tarp. They sealed up said box good and tight, she ran out of air" Negan looked at him walking closer making you frown "maybe" he whispered walking back wrapping his arm around your neck kissing your head before talking to his men "soo, we are going to war!"  They all shouted back "yes sir".

I was walking in the hallways when Dwight caught up to me "he said tomorrow" you looked at him knowing what he was on about, you nodded in his direction smiling and carried on walking, you was nauseous and throwing up every second on the day it felt like, you couldn't pin point why though was it because you was scared or was it because you couldn't wait to be back with my family, or did you eat something bad.

You heard an explosion as you was out getting fresh air reading your book, you knew who it was and slightly smiled "go big 2 cars 10 guns were not messing around, not now." Dwight spoke in the walkie talkie as he walked passed you and nodded, he carried on speaking to them as you got up watching everyone scatter out, you stood with Dwight having a cigarette when the 2 men on the roof got sniped down, you both walked off like nothing happened and walked back inside, knowing they was going to be here very soon.

You walked up to Negan kissing him on the cheek, he was in a meeting but you didn't care "you okay" "yeah I'm okay I'm still thinking about how Sasha died" you cringed "well you know Eugene is a genius maybe he's right maybe she did just run out of air it's not a close drive and we was talking for a while" he looked at you, you felt bad slightly you had gotten to know him and he wasn't awful all the time but he's done to many awful things to the people you love so you shook it off and remembered why you hated him 4 gun shots rang out you all jumped up "what in the fuck now" Negan spoke as we caught up to the others and all walked out the back door "well shit. I'm sorry, I was in a meeting" Negan spoke,

you Negan Dwight Eugene Simon Gavin and Regina  stood at the top of the stairs "I see you got your little mudflats with you" Negan spoke as you watch the others "I care about my people, I don't want to just march them into the line of fire, I don't want to play my dick is bigger than yours. It is, lyric will agree" you gasped "negan enough" "sorry hunny" he whispered in your direction giving you a wink "so Rick what the hell can I do for you" Negan shouted Rick answered by telling us all our names "y'all can live if you surrender" he finished "what about me Rick" "I told you twice you know what's gunna happen".

Seconds later Gregory walked out behind you, you had no idea what he was doing here after seeing him in the meeting room  "the hilltop stands with Negan and the saviors any resident of the hilltop who takes up arms or who supports this ultimatum against the sanctuary or any of the saviors for that matter they will no longer be welcome in the colony" he finished "and" Negan egged him on "their families will be thrown out and will be left to fend for themselves" "and" "go home now or you won't have a home to go back to" he finished looking around smirking thinking he'd actually get somewhere with that speech

"Doesn't look like anyone's going does it" you hear maggies voice making your heart hurt you really thought she was dead until you caught a glimps of her the other day "hilltop stands with..." Gregory was cut off by all I could assume was Jesus "the hilltop stands with Maggie"  Simon got all up in Gregory's face before pushing him off the steps, another explosion ran out you looked at Dwight subtly "sounds like shit is going down Rick" they all went back and forth you didn't think this far ahead not properly and how you was getting out of this so you put your brain in over load, Rick started counting down from 10 only reaching 7 before he unloaded a load of bullets in our direction, Dwight grabbed you and dragged you inside you didn't see where Negan went though.

The Last few days had been rough, everyone thinks negan is dead, you had been sticking next to Dwight not really knowing what to do, you knew a lot of people here still didn't trust you, which makes sense, but still, you didn't know what to do, a lot of people had died in the sanctuary and you knew they was attacking all the out post they had to, you was laying low and helping the workers out, right now you was in a meeting "we have to assume Negan is dead" Regina spoke out "I'm Negan" Simon replied "everyone in this room is" they went back and forth about what to do, you and Eugene was sat next to each other before he spoke up "inadequate" you looked at him "the numbers you suggest aren't adequate" you and Dwight look at each other, Eugene went back and forth with her "Regina he's right the workers have the numbers, and we need to keep them on our side." "We need to keep them in line" Simon goes on to say

Gavin goes on about the snipers around the building, and the other part "someone in here made everything out there happen" your heart raced trying to not make it obvious that one of those people was you "the right kind of rat could kill plenty of people" "but it's not going to be us" Dwight goes on to say "we keep what's ours and we get out and I don't want to here back biting or pissing or moaning from the two of you. You can't lead the saviors out of here I will" you was impressed by how he was being you nodded along, Simon looked serious until he walked to Dwight "yes my boy yes, we're gonna find that subhuman coward that did this to us and we're gonna kill him very slowly infront of everyone here over the course of a few long days" he spoke as he looked between you and Eugene, confirming they didn't trust you either not fully.

You and Eugene made your way to Dwight's room after the meeting making sure no one followed, knocking on the door he slowly let you in checking the hallways before Eugene spoke up thanking him for the help as he tried to keep him being involved on the DL, "you done good in there" he nodded looking at you like every man had in here either they didn't trust you or they wanted to sleep with you "oh it's nothing but thank you you was great to" "let's be honest I barley spoke but you can stop acting like we are bestfriends, your helping us to not only get us and our community out of Negans lives but yourself, I still don't like you, you fucked with Daryl and that will always put you in my bad books" he looked at you shocked but understood nodding his head, Eugene and Dwight carried on speaking before we said what we needed to and left going our own ways.
