trigger warning for this chapter. rape insinuated. read at your own discretion.

IF THERE was anyway for negan to distract himself from a current predicament, it was to hook up with one of his wives. it didn't matter who, he just had to set his mind elsewhere.

that was exactly what negan had just done. tanya lay fast asleep, tucked into his chest. he glanced down at her, wishing it were someone else.

negan didn't want to admit it to himself but he knew he was becoming extremely attached to artemis and it had to stop.

for all he knows she could be a trap. someone sent here by one of the communities to kill negan. she could have just pretended that she was on her own.

the more negan thought about it, the more he realised what an idiot he was being. he was just trying to trick himself into staying away from her when he knew it wouldn't work.

no matter what, he would be attracted to her, nothing would stop that no matter how hard he tried to deny it. she made him laugh, made him feel more human, she made him want to be a better man. if that was still possible.

artemis woke up from her sleep, desperately needing the toilet. she didn't know what time it was but she assumed that it was in the early hours of the morning because darkness still cast over her room.

she was sure she remembered the way to the toilets near her room, but the darkness made them a lot harder to find. she regretted not bringing her flashlight with her.

"little late to be wandering around, lil' miss." artemis jumped out of her skin. she held her hand over her mouth to quieten the shriek that had come from her.

she turned around, coming face to face with a man much taller than her. he was extremely bulky. he had a sadistic grin on his face which made her skin crawl.

"just looking for the toilet." she announced quietly, stepping away from the man, causing him to take one step closer.

"just found that corner." he told her.

"thank you." she nodded, turning away from him to head in the direction he had told her.

"not so fast, lil miss." he yanked her arm, pulling her into his chest. she cried out, dreading the direction this was going in.

"please, let me go." she begged, trying to pull her body away from him, only causing him to pull her in tighter.

"is that what i get for helping a pretty little lady such as yourself?" he breathed heavily into her ear, pressing a sloppy kiss to it. "don't you think i deserve a reward?"

"please." she begged, her voice strained. tears began to fall from her eyes as she begged the man to let her go.

"shut the hell up." he slapped her face, leaving a painful stinging sensation. "if you just shut up, it'll go a lot quicker."

the words confirmed her fears. she clutched the wall desperately, wishing she could be anywhere but here right now. her worst fears were coming to life.

she sobbed as she heard him unbuckle his belt and jeans. "please don't do this. if you just let me go, i won't tell anyone. please." she tried to plead one more time but it was no use.

her strained cries echoed through the halls, though after what felt like an eternity had passed, she knew no one was coming to save her. just when she thought she was safe. she would never feel the same again.
