I was at the front door of Dad's house in a matter of minutes, taking no time or hesitation to pound on the door. "Dad?" I called from the front door, "It's Mal"

I heard footsteps approached the other side of the door, followed by my Dad's voice, "Coming!" He called, the door suddenly clicked as it opened to reveal him, my Dad. I flung my arms around him quickly, even though I'd seen him nit long ago, i could feel his chest vibrate as he chuckled.

"Hey Kiddo" he laughed, wrapping his huge arms around me like a gorilla, "Why don't you come in, we've got a lot to talk about"

I stepped indoor and hung my bag on the coat hook behind the door, fixing my eyes on the inside of the house. It was small, cosy and a lot like our old house, six years ago. The house smelled damp but not in a bad way, a sort of comfortable damp.

I looked towards the kitchen, each room could be seen by the doorway the house was so open and small, I liked it.

The downstairs rooms consisted of a small kitchen with an island and three stools as some kind of dinner table, a larger lounging area with two, two seater couches and a large space between the two rooms, the stairs where directly ahead of the door and where larger then expect, the bathroom located underneath the staircase.

I walked around in amazement, everything seemed to be clean and fresh, despite the damp smell.

"I know it ain't much" Dad told me closing the door, and strolling over to where i was standing, "but it's all i got and-" i quickly interrupted him, "I love it!" I whispered excitedly.

Dad went into the kitchen after telling me to take a seat on the couch, as I sat down, he came back with two steaming mugs of what looked like tea, and handed one too me before sitting down on the opposite couch so he could face me, all was quiet, someone had to break the silence, I started.

"This place is trustworthy?" I asked, pretty confident it was but just wanted to make sure, "I mean you seem pretty relaxed here so i assume it's safe"

Dad smiled at first but then his smile trailed into a frown, he took a sip of the drink before looking back at me, "Mal," he began seriously, "Everything here was great, perfect infact, until," he took a deep breath.

"A man came, a bastard, he's murdered so many of our people, you wouldn't imagine" my heart dropped, as i suddenly felt scared, "his name is Negan, and he's going to keep on coming back to collect half of all our stuff, every couple of weeks or so" he paused, but not long enough for me to ask questions, "he has an army"

He paused

The Saviours, they work for him, kill for him, live for him, they'll do anything he says without questioning it twice-" he paused suddenly seeing the petrified looking that had grown on my face.

"Sweetie," he began calming his voice, "i ain't gun let anything happen to you, but, you have to promise me you keep away from them, and if they dare do anything do you, you do exactly what they say... please"

I sat in fear, looking at my Dad telling me these things. I was scared. But in a way, everything seemed to add up, nobody here was happy, everyone was stern faced all the time... It suddenly hit me.

"Are you going to fight them?" I asked abruptly, clenching the cup in my hands. Dad looked back at me but then nodded.

"We have to Mal," he started then picked up again, "You know that pregnant lady you saw? The one with the short hair?" I nodded listening carefully, "Her name's Maggie. The father of the baby she is carrying had his head smashed in infront of her... by negan"

I didn't have time to feel awful before Dad sprung another fact upon me, "The lady at the gates, Rosita, had both her previous lovers killed infront of her aswell, not to mention everyone else that was exeptionally close with these men too, as well as Denice, Spencer, Olivia..." he paused, i could see a tear in his eye, "all killed by them, Glenn was there from day one, survivin' with Rick until they found me, Abraham was there for everyone, a true hero-"

he stopped suddenly and saw me... starring at the floor emotions building up inside me, i was scarred, angry and upset, mainly for my Dad.
That's when he took a deep breath in,

"The point is," he started, "they need to be killed"

I slowly nodded bringing my freckled face up to meet his. "I'm scared" I whispered, lowering the cup onto the coffee table infront of me, "they ain't like groaners, these are people!"

I exclaimed a little louder, freaking out slightly. Dad got up from the couch and came and sat next to me, i buried my head into his chest as he stroked my hair.

"I know" he told me, "but the secret is... we all are..." I relaxed slightly, letting my eyes close and think, all these people have been threw so much, and theres me thinking I was living dangerously...

I'm sick of feeling powerless, I mean sure,  I have no trouble killing groaners... walkers... but, people are different they're quick, smart... disloyal.

I must of drifted asleep because i slowly woke to Dad carrying my sideways up the stairs, we entered a small box room with a cupboard, a desk and a twin sized bed.

He lowered my down onto it and went into the dresser before pulling out a thick blanket and covering it over me. He lent down and kissed my cheek, me still half awake...

"Good night princess" he whispered, before closing the door and leaving me in the darkness, i could see the moon high in the sky out the window next to my bed, i must of slept longer then i thought, i left the curtains open... open so i could see outside to this beautiful place, remind myself how lucky i am.

To be here, with Dad, Rick, Carl... and everyone else...

And with mainly happy thoughts i fell back asleep, ready for an early rise to help out tomorrow...
