Mi Amor ~ Daryl Dixon

Chapter Fifty-Five

"Little pig, little pig!" Negan yelled while banging his bat on the gate. "Let me in!"

The saviors had pulled Adrianna from her cell in the early morning hours. She overheard others talking about heading to Alexandria when they shoved her into a truck and her heart hurt at the idea of going home. The feeling of her loved ones being so close but so far at the same time. The sound of the first gate opening made the saviors pile out of the vehicles. Dwight pulled Adrianna out and kept a crossbow aimed at her back. Spencer was on the other side of the gate with a confused look on his face. "Well?" Negan motioned to the gate.

"Um, who are you?" Spencer asks stupidly.

"Oh, you better be joking." Negan laughed. "Negan, Lucille. I know I had to have made a pretty strong first impression." He tapped his bat on the gate mockingly. He lowered the bat as Rick walked up to the front gate. "Well hello there." Rick's stern gaze held and he made no move to open the gate. "Do not make me have to ask." Negan warned.

"You said a week." Rick pulled the second gate open with a scowl. "You're early."

"I missed you." A walker came out of the trees and Negan smiled widely. "Oh Rick, come on out here. Watch this. I'm calling it." He walked over and swung at the walkers. Its head smashed in and it dropped to the ground with a thud. "Easy peasy lemon squeezy." He exclaimed. Adriannas eyes caught Daryl's as he came to stand besides Rick. The pair stared at her with an intense amount of pain behind their eyes. She shook her head lightly and she hoped they wouldn't try anything. Daryl's jaw tensed at the sight, her clothes were dirty, her face was bruised, and her eyes looked like they had almost lost all hope. "Okay everyone let's get started. It's a big day. Rick, you see that, what injustice did?" Rick's gaze fell back to Negan. "That is some service. I mean we almost get turned away at the gate. Who is that guy anyway?" Spencer froze. "But do I get mad? Do I throw a fit? Do I bash some gingers some in? Nope. I just take care of one of these dead pricks that could've killed one of y'all." He took a bow.
"Service." He walked up to Rick and handed him the bloody bat. "Hold this." Rick took it from the man's hand hesitantly and he walked inside. "Hot diggity dog! This place is just magnificent!" He yelled walking inside. "An embarrassment of riches, as they say. Yes sir, I do believe you're gonna have plenty to offer up."

Adrianna was pushed in and she walked behind Negan. Ricks gaze fell back on her. "Adrianna, hey." He attempted to talk to the woman but she looked away quickly.

"No." Negan snapped. "She's the help. You don't look at her, you don't talk to her, and I don't make you here chop anything off of her." His eyes looked behind Rick to Daryl. If looks could kill, Negan would be dead. "That goes for everybody." He walked over to Daryl. "Right?" The man scrunched his fists and stormed away. If he didn't, he probably would've done something stupid and get somebody killed. "A lot of suspense there. I don't even think he knew how much." Negan laughed at the man's actions. "All right, let's get this show on the road. See what kind of goodies you got in the cupboards."

"We put aside half the supplies." Rick replied.

"No Rick. No." He shook his head. "You don't decide what we take. I do." He motioned for one of the woman to move.

"You heard the man. Move out!" She yelled.

The saviors began taking off inside. "They're just gonna search the houses a bit, get the process moving." He explained. "All right, you gonna show me around or what?" Rick stayed still for a moment before he walked past Negan. The man followed behind and motioned for Adrianna to come with. As they walked, multiple saviors were pulling out furniture from their houses. "You see this? This is the kind of thing that just tickles my balls. A little cooperation and everything is pleasant as punch." He nudged Rick. "See, we are reasonable people once you get to know us. Honest." Negan walked over to a cooler that was placed on the sidewalk. He pulled a soda out, popped it open, chugged it, and then threw it on the street. "Damn I love this place!"
