❝HE'S HEARTLESS❞ Alexa murmurs before having her life saved, and spared by the ring leader of the Saviors
-Negan.
It's a cruel world and despite the many horrors Alexa has encountered, upon stumbling against the scariest demon of them all, she...
HEAVY UNCERTAINTY ran through Alexa's mind as what she just witnessed reminded her of that one horror film she saw as a child.
The slash thriller film that kept her from sleep for weeks. Back then, younger Alexa could run to the protective arms of her older brother Jeremy, but that was then—
this is now.
IN THESE TIMES, the fear that Alexa was experiencing wasn't because of a film produced to scare,
—no.
This was life.
This was real.
This was Alexa's life now, a nightmare in which Negan was a constant recurring character that so easily haunted her every movement, thought.
To keep herself from falling apart right in front of such twisted entities, Alexa shifts her eyes left and right.
No matter how much she longs to curl up into a ball and cry, Alexa can't let them see how easily she falls apart.
Everywhere that she looks, some horror follows. Upon noticing Alexa's mechanism to avoid a tear fest, Negan smirks and re-asks the question that turned his favorite little rebel's world upside down.
❝WHO ARE YOU?❞

Negan asks as he toys with Lucille in his right hand.
In hearing the question again, Alexa sharply inhaled and averted her eyes towards the ground. Her body trembled, and at that sign of inferiority, Negan glanced at her with pride growing inside of him.
The shaking, the fear, he did that. He relished in almost being able to hear the gears in Alexa's mind turn, trying to find a way to get him back at his game.
Even when in severe fear,
she looked ahead.
Her Achilles heel was her emotions, and how easily they provoked tears,
but her
strength lied in how quickly she recovered, every single time.
