As he turned he had a big grin on his face, I was at a loss for words. First of all this man was extremely good looking with his leather jacket, salt and pepper hair, the beard, and the way he was presenting himself screamed confidence.
"well hello sweetheart" the leather jacket man said with that same damn smile that made me melt in my jeans, but I acted like he had no effect on me, and moved past him and walked straight up to rick. "Rick what the hell, why are these people taking your shit" I said confused and angry, but before Rick could respond the man he was talking to before steps in "well look at that, she's pretty, and she's got a mouth on her, now tell me Rick, why were you holding out on me with this one huh?, now I'm a gentlemen so I'll give you a chance to explain to her whats going on" he said looking at me then at rick, so i patiently waited for Rick to tell me
Rick looks up at me and his expression scares me, he looks so sad and broken, and..... scared "This is, um, this is Negan and he's in charge, every week he comes and takes half our stuff in exchange he doesn't kill us" I look at Rick in disbelief, "are you kidding me Rick, why would you allow this?" and then I looked at Negan and said in a low and broken voice"and why are you doing this?" I wasn't angry anymore, i was sad, sad that its come to this, sad people really feel the need to take instead of give
Like I said before the wonderers are all about helping, giving, and providing, but in that moment there, where I was waiting for Negan to reply to me, I thought to myself " I bet I could get Negan to become allies with us, he can still get resources for all of us, and in return he can provide for us, if not food or medicine, then he and his men can help out with protecting the facilities and so on, I can do this, I'm sure of it, I'm a likable person and persuasive as hell."
Negans voice pulled me out of my thoughts "well sweetie, I'm not growing a garden, so why not have people do it for me?" I walk over to him "Negan I understand, you don't want to waste time scavenging, i get it.....but have you ever thought of gathering up allies?" he just stares at me, but I can tell I've sparked his interest so I continue to talk "we provide for each other, help each other out" Negan looks at me and smiles and breaks his silence"and Rick, he's your allie?" i look at him and nod yes,
"Well hot damn Rick I never thought Id see you trust another group after my ass came and fucked up two of your men, but people can change" he says sarcastically while laughing, before Rick can respond I step in "Please Negan, let me show you how beneficial we can be, the help we can provide" Negan looks at me, and it seems he is contemplating what to say, then he speaks "and what exactly could you do for me that these sorry shits couldn't?" I look at Rick and back to Negan "Im a really good medic, I can help you with your injured men, I could even help scavenge with your men, I"m good with a gun and I'm fast on my feet" Negan bursts out laughing "well shit girly you talk a good bargain I must say, but I have a doctor already and I have my men, but here take this" he hands me a walkie smiling "if we ever need your amazing abilities or you just need a little lovin, I'm on station 7" he says laughing and proceeding to give me a wink while walking off to talk to his men
All I can do at this point is sigh in frustration, I turn to Rick " I can fix this Rick, I know for a fact I can get him to at least consider it" Rick looks at me with a sad smile " Kelly I love that you are trying to help us out, but its no use, and Im sorry you came all the way out here but theres no way we will have anything useful enough this week to trade, we barely are going to make it ourselves this week."
I look at Rick and smile "did you forget what having allies is about Rick? I can bring food, weapons, anything really until you go out scavenging, hell I can even go with you to help scavenge!" I exclaim enthusiastically. Rick looks at me with sympathy "me and Aaron are heading out in a couple of days to scavenge and your welcome to come help if you want" I smile and hug him "we are going to fix this, ill see you in two days" turning around and leaving i make my way back to the safe zone and make my way straight to bed
Fast Forward to next Morning
I wake up and head down to breakfast and sit with some buddies, I didn't really have anything planned until tomorrow which is when I go out and scavenge with Rick and Aaron, so I decided I'd just take it easy today.
Fast Forward to Evening
As I finally sit down on my bed I smile because I've never had such a relaxing day in a while, all I did today was sit outside, eat, played football with some buddies, and ate some more. As i lay down in my bed reminiscing about the day I hear buzzing, wait it more so sounded like static, "what the fuck is that?" i say to myself, and then it happens again, the same static noise, and its coming from inside my room. I get off my bed and search my room and I find that the weird noise is coming from my backpack. I opened it up and look inside, "what the fuck" i say as I reach in and pull out that walkie Negan had given me. I turn it to the radio station Negan had told me he'd be on and the static stopped "hello?" I talked quietly and frightened into the walkie. a couple seconds go by and no one responds so I go to put it in my bag and then i hear a voice and its Negan and he sounded angry and might I add panicked "you want to prove yourself, then get your ass over here now, our doctor has been killed, we are under attack"
OHHH shit whats gonna happen?!?!?! Thanks everyone who is reading!
