Broken ~{Book Two}~ Daryl Dixon ZA

Uninvited

The next few days Rick and Daryl went out on supply runs in anticipation of Negan's return at the end of the week. So far they had enough supplies to last Alexandria and plenty to go round The Saviours, Tina suspected however there was more in what Rick and Daryl were doing and it was bothering her.

"Do you think Rick and Daryl are up to anything stupid?" Tina asked in a huff as she blew smoke from her mouth, her 5th cigarette in an hour. Fanning the smoke from his face and pulling Tina a "thats not good for you" face Glenn replied simply "they know what they are doing" "well what are they doing?! We dont need anymore supplies" Tina snapped "im not saying i know what they are doing but when have they ever let us down?" He replied, he could see she was on edge and Tina had to accept his reply, the only people who knew what they were up to were Rick and Daryl, who also happened to be very good at secret keeping sometimes. "Why wont they tell us?" She whispered aloud "there is nothing to tell T" Glenn reassured "how do you know that?" She asked, he didnt know and she knew it. Her point was proven in her eyes.

Tina was never a patient person, she sat on the porch swing outside her trailer huffing and tapping her finger on her face frustrated in the days after Merle and Daryl upped and left her with her mom and their dad, well she thought it was days, turns out it was an hour before her mom came out telling her dinner was ready. Shaking that reminder from her head Tina went inside her home and got dressed, it was going to be another boring day at Alexandria.

Helping Tara and Eugene box up all the stuff going to The Saviours, Eugene tried to break the ice a bit by playing Never Have I Ever, the first time Tina played it was back at the Atlanta camp when Glenn started only to find out Tina wasnt very good seeing as she was still a virgin and had only kissed one other boy besides Shane. This time however she felt she would be more advanced and was up for the game. "Never have i ever had sex in the shower" Tara said giggling as Eugene blushed bright red, it was evident this time round he was how Tina was when they played. "How are we drinking when we play this by the way?" Tara asked looking to Eugene seeing as it was his idea. Tina scouted through the bottom of the box and found an old bottle of brandy "here" she said opening the top and swigging, grimacing as its warmth heated up the back of her throat "Tina! We cant, its theirs!" Tara replied astounded how brave Tina was at that moment "fuck them, it was ours first" she laughed handing Tara the bottle who looked reluctant to take it "There is another bottle back of the cupboard under the stairs at home, i'll replace it" Tina rolled her eyes and responded laughing at the sight of relief that washed over Tara and Eugene's face. "Okay I got one" Tina began as she moved a box on top of another "never have I ever had sex in a barn" she giggled at her comment and was confused why Tara and Eugene didnt respond only to find the eyeline looking over at the gates of Alexandria and noted Spencer allowing Negan and a few of his men in. "Shit" Tina cursed holding the bottle behind her back.

Quickly turning around Tina put the bottle back in a box and asked "why the hell is he here? He said a week?" She was slightly panicked and was fearful of what he wanted.

Tina watched Spencer whisper to Negan, who seemed to smile at his words, what was he saying? And why did he want to get close to that nut job. When Negan's eyes met Tina's she darted them away and went back to her duties, walking the box back over to the garage in which they were storing them for The Saviours one of the boxes split and its contents crashed and clanged on the ground "fucking great!" Tina moaned sarcastically as she picked the stuff up "here" she knew that was Negan, looking and standing up she took the can from him that had rolled from her reach "why are you here? Rick said end of the week?" Tina asked, assertive at first but felt she didnt want to be too rude as Negan always had consequences. "Just checking you guys aint fleecing us" he remarked with a chauvinistic sideways smile "How's Penny?" He asked as Tina walked away from him after tossing the box in the garage trying to make a small point "its Poppy" she snapped back "whatever" he snapped in reply and then laughing to himself.

Slamming the front door "urgh he is such an asshole!" She yelled through gritted teeth. "Problem?" Carol asked stepping from the kitchen with Poppy and a muslin cloth over her shoulder "The Saviours are here early! They think they can just swan in here and threaten us all the time! They cant do that!" Tina stated angrily in almost a tantrum "calm down, when Rick comes back he can find out what they want" Carol tried to calm Tina down albeit to no avail. "And why is Spencer whispering shit to him?!" Tina asked aloud clearly not taking anything Carol was saying in.

Tina basically had her nose and face pressed so hard against the glass she was certain it would go through as she spied on Negan and his men. Upon looking at Dwight she noted now his entire left arm was burnt, just like the side of his face, except those burns were not there when she was last around them. Remembering Negan punishes those who disobey him or break the ground rules they apparently have in place, she wondered if him being cruel and taking Poppy from their home and Tina confronting them all over it is the reason for his new burns? Negan did say he had nothing to do with it and vowed to find out...
