We waited for hours, it had gotten bast dawn and now the sun was up making it look later in the day.  Everyone was still in shock. I was still in shock.

The light made it easier to see the bodies laying on the ground, it was horrifying. The sight was worse than when it actually happened. I forced myself to look away and look back at the ground which still had a blood spot from when I was bleeding from my head.

I was bleeding lots still, it was still dripping steadily which probably wasn't good.

"She's been bleeding for hours. She needs a bandage." Eugene had pointed out almost reading my mind. One of the people behind us came up to me and yanked me back harshly making me whimper.  I looked back and glared at the man who did and he smirked at me with a wink.  I slightly gagged as he finnished the bandage that was wrapped around my head like Carl's.

Him and my dad looked over to me in concern and I gave them a reassuring look.
Soon the trailer came back, Neegan threw Rick out making him land on the ground with a hard thud before Rick sat up and looked at the rest of us.

"You two." Neegan pointed to Carl and I. I looked up.

"You a lefty?" He asked Carl.

"Why?" Carl spat back.

"Just answer the question." Neegan growled.

"No." Carl sighed back, anger still showing on his face.

"Come here." Neegan said as he smirked and stepped back and Carl followed, two guys came from behind Carl and wrapped a belt tightly around Carl's arm. I saw him wince a few times making a pain in my chest come back as a stabbing pain, soon I understood exactly what was going to happen to Carl. I was terrified.  "Get down on the ground." He said.

"Why?" Carl asked.

"Get down on the ground!" Neegan shouted making Carl flinch as he slowly got down to the ground.  Tears came to my eyes again as I covered my hand with my mouth.  "Your pretty little girlfriend over there knows what's happening to you." Neegan smirked.

"Rick, you're going to pick up your ax, and cut off your boy's arm. Right here." He said as he drew a line with a black marker across Carl's forearm.  Ricks face shows regret and fear as he realized he would have to do it.

"No." Rick said  shakily.

"If you don't, then every one of these people die. First them, then your boy's girlfriend, then your son, then you... eventually." Neegan said, Carl's eyes winded as Neegan talked about killing me.

"No, please no. I can't." Rick pleaded as he almost started to cry, "No, please no."

"Don't make me count." Neegan warned.

"No." Rick said, tears on his face now.  I was crying too, the thought of this happening to Carl hurt me. He would go through so much pain, and me having seeing him in pain like that will hurt at a equal scale.

"Stop! Please." I cried as I tried to stand up but I got pushed down by the people behind me.

"One."

"No.. no please, I can't."

"Stop! Neegan, you asshole stop!" I cried more and got pushed more into the ground making me wince. Carl's eyes met mine with pain in both of our eyes.

"Two."

"Dad, just do it."Carl said shakily from the ground, "Just do it."

"Three." Rick lifted the ax but he got stopped by Neegan before he could cut Carl's arm.

"That look there, that's the look I wanted. Fear." Neegan shouted happily, "You work for me. Say it!"

"I work for you." Rick said shakily.

"You work for me. Say it again!" Neegan yelled.

"I work for you."

"Good. Now lets go." Neegan said to his group and they all started leaving. I sat up and cried a bit, I cried because of relief, sadness, fear... every emotion was all bottled up inside me and now I could let it go.

"Take him." Neegan said pointing to my dad, I watched as they pulled my dad back towards a truck.

"Dad!" I yelled as I got up and tried to run, "Dad no!" I cried more.  I tried to run but Rick held me back.  I tried to get out of his grip even though I knew he was trying to help me.  The chances of me getting to my dad and still being alive were small, Rick was trying to save my life.

"(Y/n), you know that trying to stop them will kill you!" Carl said as he went in front of me, Rick let me go and I fell forward but Carl caught me.

"I can't lose him too! I can't." I cried as I hugged Carl.

"You won't. I promise." He whispered as he tightly hugged me.

---------------------

We were all in shock, Neegan's group was gone along with my dad, we had moved Glenn and Abraham's bodies into the RV to take them back to Alexandria.  I was sitting beside Carl, my head was resting on his shoulder and I was looking out the window.

I saw a walker come from out of the woods and head towards the puddles of blood that were left by Glenn, Abraham, and I and it started trying to scavenge what ever it could to eat.  The sight made my stomach turn and the memories come back again. I felt a tear slip from my eyes as I shifted myself slightly so I wasn't looking at that any more.  

I felt Carl shift so I moved, when I looked at him it was easy to see he was looking at the line of marker on his arm. I moved my hand to hold his hand, I made sure i was holding his left hand, the one that almost got cut off.

"I can still hold your hand. It's still there, I'm still here. We're okay." I whispered to him as I looked back up to him.  He gave me a small nod and a small smile as he rested his head on my shoulder, still keeping our hands intertwined.  I slowly rested my head on his and slowly fell asleep in hopes of getting the traumatizing night out of my thoughts.
