(A/N: Most names are characters of The Walking Dead. Most plots are originally from The Walking Dead. At a certain point I will be past the current point in the show hopefully. I'll write some of my own twists to the show as well, adding in different characters. Enjoy!)
I sat next to Glenn, unable to move as I looked at the guy with the barb wire bat who had just stepped out of the trailer.
"Hi. You're Rick, right? I'm Negan."
Rick looked at Negan with more terror in his eyes than I have ever seen.
"And I do not appreciate you killing my men. Also, when I sent my people to kill your people for killing my people, you killed more of my people. Not cool. Not cool. You have no idea how not cool that shit is. But I think you're gonna be up to speed shortly. You are so gonna regret crossing me in a few minutes. Yes, you are. You see, Rick, whatever you do, no matter what, you don't mess with the new world order. And the new world order is this, and it's really very simple, so, even if you're stupid, which you may very well be, you can understand it. You ready? Here goes. Pay attention."
Negan holds his bat up to Rick's head. "Give me your shit...or I will kill you. You work for me now. You have shit, you give it to me. That's your job. Now, I know that is a mighty big, nasty pill to swallow, but swallow it you most certainly will. You ruled the roost. You built something. You thought you were safe. I get it. But the word is out. You are not safe. Not even close. In fact, you are pegged, more pegged if you don't do what I want. And what I want is half your shit. And if that's too much, you can make, find, or steal more, and it'll even out sooner or later. This is your way of life now. The more you fight back, the harder it will be. So, if someone knocks on your door...you let us in. We own that door. You try to stop us and we will knock it down. You understand?"
Negan holds up his ear and leans closer into Rick.
"What? No answer? You don't really think that you were gonna get through this without being punished, now, did you? I don't want to kill you people. Just want to make that clear from the get-go. I want you to work for me. You can't do that if you're dead, now, can you? I'm not growing a garden. But you killed my people, a whole damn lot of them. More than I'm comfortable with. And for that, for that you're gonna pay. So, now... I'm gonna beat the holy hell outta one of you. This... This is Lucille, and she is awesome," he says holding up the bat. "All this, all this is just so we can pick out which one of you gets the honor.
Negan looked down at Carl. "You got one of our guns. Shit, kid, lighten up. At least cry a little," he chuckles.
Negan walked around, stopping at me next.
"You look like you'd be one heck of an ass kicker. I like you, so do your best to not piss me off," he smirked.
I saw Daryl shift out of the corner of my eye. "Don't," I warned.
"Ahhh what do we have here? A couple perhaps. No...no. More like a father-daughter or brother-sister kinda thing? Someone that'd protect you? I sure wouldn't want to piss him off. Keep that in mind Dwight," Negan said pointing Lucille at who I presumed was Dwight.
Then Negan walked towards Maggie. He looked down at her. "Jesus. You look shitty. I should just put you out of your misery right now," he stated as he gripped the bat and began to raise it. The next thing I knew, Glenn jumped out of line.
"All right, listen. Don't any of you do that again. I will shut that shit down, no exceptions. First one's free. It's an emotional moment, I get it."
Then he looks at Rick, "Sucks, don't it? The moment you realize you don't know shit." Negan points to Carl.
"This is your kid, right? This is definitely your kid!" he chuckles
