Negan's Forgotten Offspring

Chapter 5

It was 4:30 by the time we got home. What the heck am I going to make in about an hour,half? If I couldn't even cook one meal for my own dad who am I? Right as Rex parked the car before anyone had time to say anything I was ready out of the truck running inside. I quickly made my way to the kitchen, getting out the strawberries and a freshly killed rabbit. It would have to do. I sat the rabbit on the counter, after fetching some seasonings and finally a bowl. I was hoping to grill this dumb rabbit and put together a strawberry sauce with it. I know for a fact dad eats that. Mom would always make it on my birthday. 

"Willow, let me help you I use to cook all the time with my mum." Evan asked as he walked into the kitchen holding the cans of food they found on the run.  He swiftly took a knife from one of the drawers and began skinning, gutting the rabbit. "So what are we cooking?"

"To be honest I don't know..I was thinking grilled rabbit, with strawberry sauce." I grumbled out as I began removing the tops of the berries. "J-just I remember..Him telling me a while ago that it was one of his favorite meals from before..Being he always had it on a very special day." 

"Alright grilled rabbit, with straw berry sauce it is then. He told you that? Wow, that's kinda cool Negan never brings up the past. like ever. Must have been when he found you when this first started right?" Evan asked as he took the pelt of the rabbit and placed it in a bin for someone to come pick up later to make winter jackets with. He than quickly laid out all the parts rabbit. Like, the different chunks of meat. 

I nodded. Yeah sure I only knew that because, he found me. Bullshit. That's what everyone thinks..It dose kinda hurt. Most people would think having a dad like mine you would hate their guts,wish they were dead. No, I love my dad I'm just angry with some of the rules. I would never ever leave the Sanctuary dad's a good leader. Yeah, a lot of people would disagree with me but, fuck them.  I know dad kills people, and other horrible things but you have to now to survive, also to keep our home safe. "Yep, I just finished with the sauce do want me to go grill the rabbit so you can go rest or something, Maybe go talk to the new boy?" I finally responded, also asking a question. God it looks like I just murdered someone from how the berries stained my hands. Evan flicked the back of my head giving me  an uni mused face. 

"First off Willow, no I told you I would help. Second that is low even for your kinda of jokes." He laughed as he took the cut up rabbit to the small grill. "No, for real though mate I might go talk to him later he seemed lost. Kinda looks like how I did when I was new..Do you remember? You must have been only 14-5? It was only two years or so into it..Everyday they would tease me, take my shit..But you stood up for me one day? You told them to leave or you would go get Negan. Since than we have been besties correct?" 

"Yep, you are my bestie you have been like the only person kinda around my age I could always talk to. I couldn't let someone do that also you were alone need a friend so did I. David, and Tom aren't that bright..D-Negan would have beat their asses if he found out they were hurting a new comer to try to get them to leave. This place is for those who want to survive, and fight for what's right in the new world." At the same time as I finished Evan was down grilling the rabbit. Damn did it look good. Like just how mom made it..We than platted the rabbit on a plate than straw berry sauce I made. I watched him take a bite of the left overs to see how it was. "So how is it?"

"D? What were you gonna Negan dad? Why would anyone want to have him as dad that would suck." Evan chuckled at his own joke.  His lips curled upward after the bite of food was shoveled into his mouth. "No this is terrible I think you should just give it to me, and I can whip up said something different." He sarcastically told her. 

"I-I just almost said David again alright calm your ass down, Jesus Christ.." I murmured out.  Wow, good job dumb ass almost gave up the biggest secrete of your whole life..Great..No one can know..I promised dad. I felt more realized again after he bought that I meant to say David."Well you can pick the bones clean and the blow. Anyways I'm gonna go take this to his room before he gets home." 

"Okay, do you want me to come with?" Evan asked her as she picked up the plate of food for their leader. They both looked at the clock it was now 5:40. 

"No, Evan this was my job for today. Also I usually have to go in his room and wait until he does eating to take his dish." To be honest right now, I just kinda wanna see my dad..Alone just the two of us its been so long since. I wish I could run up to him every time he got home and hug him, tell him he's my hero. The best dad in the world but I can't its too dangerous in this world. I hated to think of that but Sherry is kinda right..Some of the men already give me a hard time, with rather lewd comments. What would they do if they found out if the boss was my dad? Shit! It's 5:40! "Bye, Evan talk to you later alligator!"

 I waved to Evan as I indubitably left going up the rusted steel steps, across one of the main cat-walks. Then my dad's room. I knocked twice to make sure it he wasn't in there, or anyone else before I walked in. It seemed bigger than the last time, there was now a Chandler hanging from the ceiling. The fireplace I remember that, I use to curl up next to and fall asleep before dad got me my own room. His huge bed, sitting area and  the lounge. I sat the tray of food down on the table before I sat down on one of the comfy soft seats. That was when I realized I had forgotten to change my shirt. My hands began to shake from worrying about my dad yelling at me. I got up quickly, running down the hall to my room. Lucky my room is only two doors down. As I ripped off my stained demon shirt, to put on a plain white shirt. I heard it the main doors of the Sanctuary get swung open. Shit their back. I quickly thew on a sky blue sweater over it, than went back to dad's room. I pulled the white collar of my undershirt up a bit, how I normally wear them. I also had on a tan school girl skirt on. My long almost black hair was down, it helped to shape my face. My freckles always seemed to pop more.  

"Sherry! Go find where the fucking hell, Willow is." Negan barked as he swung his bedroom door open. Scaring Willow the look on her face made him laugh. Only thing of cheer out of him almost all day. "Never fucking mind, She's in here shit how long have you been waiting for me?" Negan asked as he closed the door and took a seat in-front of her. He looked over his daughter in silence. Impressed, how much she grew up to look..so much like Lucille..Her freckles make it even more like her. "You look a lot like your mom today." He gave her a toothy grin ear to ear. 

I smiled, It's been along long time since dad has really talked to me or really look at me. "Not that long, here's your food sir." I respond as I handed him his food across the table. He looked down at it a little confused at first I think."Something wrong sir..and thanks for the complement..I-I miss mom to."
