Broken ~{Book Two}~ Daryl Dixon ZA

Creep

"Let her go Dwight" Negan spoke not removing his glare from Tina who was crumbling on the inside in sheer terror. She massaged her arm where Dwight removed his grip, watching as they pulled into what must be their establishment.

Watching Negan as he tapped his finger on the side of his face before he slapped his knees and stood up as the RV pulled to a halt "may as well show you around the place! Seeing as you will be spending a lot of fucking time here" he spoke before sinisterly saying the last sentence. Tina couldnt help but fight back tears as Negan walked her out, where was he going to take her?

"Walk" he sneered squeezing her neck as he gripped onto it pushing her foward as his fellow followers bowed as he walked, Tina let out a weak giggle at the audacity Negan had thinking he was king of the place but not too loud that it would cause consequences for her or even Daryl.

Negan marched Tina to his living quarters "see how im respected?" He mentioned as he offered Tina a seat on a deep red crushed velvet chair. "No thanks" she politely declined trying to firm her ground, Negan pulled a "suit yourself" face and sat down instead. He sighed and laid back as if he has had a hard day at the office, "where is he?" Tina asked with a shaky voice, she couldnt play a tough girl even if she tried. A knock on the door disturbed Negan from answering, he grunted in allowance for Dwight to enter. "We have a problem with Amy" he explained causing Negan to turn around and look at him to continue "Luke" was all Dwight replied much to the confusion of Tina. "Keep tabs on him" Negan sighed before dismissing Dwight. Shooting Tina a confident smile he motioned her to sit down again, this time she accepted albeit reluctantly.

"You are going to kill me arnt you?" She asked nervously causing Negan to burst into laughter before cutting it short into a serious face "what do you think i am some sort of animal?" He snapped making Tina uneasy, before she could reply or even ask for Daryl's whereabouts Negan spoke "you are in for a treat here" leaning closer to her he grabbed her arm and walked through to his bedroom chamber, fearing the worst Tina closed her eyes until she heard a female ask "you coming to bed baby?" Upon opening them she found a beautiful brunette dressed in lace underwear seductively posing on the bed, Negan walked past her and took Tina into another bedroom, again with a scantily clad red head who was painting her nails "you back already baby?" She husked, cutting her eyes at Tina. Negan looked at Tina and motioned her to follow him out of the bedroom and into a hallway "are these your girlfriends or something?" She asked curious to know how he lived "who needs one when you can have as many as you desire? The rules in the old society are gone, in this life we can make our own" he confidently replied and Tina couldnt deny it didnt make sense no matter how fucked up she thought it all was. "You guys could too, except you just live day to day, menial jobs and home for dinner. Am i right?" Negan teased "i'm right arnt I?" He smiled "we live, we make our town safer, somewhere we can stay forever" Tina protested "and you all lived happily ever after right?" He quipped "or do you break into compounds and kill my men and walk off into the sunset?" He became serious again.

Wrapping his arm around Tina he continued to walk "you see you all think im some deranged killer but really I killed one of your guys and you killed what 30?" Negan mentioned calmly "its because of the way I did it, but thats how we survive, rules make us survive and you are about to see why." He continued as he lead her back to his quarters "can, can I see him?" Tina finally asked braving it, Negan ignored her question and tried the change the subject "why did you have a kid in this world?" He asked genuinely intrigued, Tina rolled her eyes, this was getting tiresome she just wanted to see and hear Daryl is okay but Negan was so hard to read she had to play it out right. Sighing she replied "i didnt know i was pregnant" "i would of tossed any of my girls down the stairs if that was the case" Negan replied coldly, "how charming" She quipped back "did you have kids...before?" She asked, judging Negan's facial expression she wished she hadnt, Tina could feel her heart pounding again and she was certain he could hear it too, why did she have to ask him something like that? Negan stepped closer to her so he was looking down at her, he looked angry. Instead he softly replied "my wife couldnt have children" "oh" Tina whispered "too many miscarriages, too many times with a broken heart" he confessed somewhat letting his guard down. "I lost one before" she admitted, although Tina never knew she was pregnant at the time and it was hard seeing as her and Daryl were hiding in secret it still broke her not being able to grieve with Daryl over something they never knew they had, at least Negan and his wife had eachother "is your wife?" Tina began asking but Negan's expression said otherwise so she stopped "drunk driver killed her before all this went to what it was" he spoke bitterly "she was pregnant too" he added not looking her in the eye and opening the door to head back out on to the forecourt with his men before Tina could say the generic 'sorry' thats said when someone tells you of a death regardless of your relationship with the deceased Negan took her outside where his men were lined up, circled around a anxious man who had his arms tied behind his back. "Its ready Negan" one man ran up to him and explained, Tina noticed where the man was pointing and saw an old Victorian iron over a fire, she felt nervous, but looking at Negan he had his smile on he had when he busted into Alexandria, that smug, powerful smile. "Bring it here" Negan clicked his fingers and the man ran over and offered him thick rubber gloves before he slowly strolled over to the hot iron and unemotionally walked back as the man tied up quivered more and more. "What makes our society work?" Negan called out looking straight at Tina as his men replied in unison "Rules!" Negan mouthed the word as his men said it.

And with that he pressed the iron firmly on the quivering man's face as Dwight and another held him still as the man screamed in pain before passing out. Tina closed her eyes and wished she could close her ears at the sound of his skin sizzling. Opening them at the wrong time she saw Negan pull it off and his skin came away liked string cheese making Tina gag and turn away having to hold herself up on the wall as she tried to steady her stomach.

"Now you have that reminder" Negan explained to the man who seemed to thank him for what he had done. "As you were men" he added and immediately his men bowed as he walked towards Tina. "The women dont usually see that but seeing as you were so desperate to see me i thought otherwise" he snapped not seeming to care she felt ill at what she just witnessed.

Fearing the worst and fearing Daryl may too have suffered like that man did for 'breaking the rules' she pleaded with Negan once again "please let me see him" "dont you want to know why I did that?" He changed the subject again "because you are a psycho" she snapped feeling somewhat braver yet didnt know how, "you really dont like me do you?" He joked as if it was nothing "you can have whatever you want here, the girls back there get protection but they are mine, they cant be with anyone else" he added, Tina knew what he meant and why that man had his face burnt by an iron. It didnt make her feel any better. "So they are your sex prisoners?" She asked sarcastically, the thought disgusting her, this made Negan pull her aside forcibly "they love me, each and every one of them, occasionally one or two misbehave and for that they are punished, and in this case Amy snuck out and slept with Luke, both knowing the rules, and both not caring, therefore actions have consequences" he explained as Tina nodded at his words, hoping he would get out of her face and she could get the hell out of there "please let me see Daryl. Please" she really was begging with him now, her eyes filling with water that was was trying to hold back. Negan eyed her up and down once more "fine." He muttered and pushed her down a small alley, towards a large cell, white walls with a steel bar door "you want your precious Daryl, you got him!" And with that he nodded for his man to open the door and he shoved Tina in with so much force she fell to the ground.

"Tina?" A familiar voice asked.
