The Next World (Negan fanfiction)

Chapter 8

I slowely opened my eyes, Faint light shining through my window lighting up my room. I looked around remembering where I was and worst of all, remembering what I did yesterday. The kiss. I slammed my head back into my pillow, groaning. Shit. Whats wrong with me?

I shamefully rolled out of bed and walked over to the mirror. I looked like a mess. I tiredly re-tied by hair, neatening its messy strands and rubbed off left over mascara that sat around my eyes. Satiafied with my state, I sighed and grabbed fresh clothes. I creeped over to my bedroom door, opening it slightly before peeking down the hall to see if anyone was there. The lady's showers were conveniently opposite my room, making it easier to sneak there without anyone seeing the state I was in.

I stepped confidently out of my room into the hall, sure that no one was to see me. But of course, just as I closed my door behind me, Negan appeared from around the corner. I pretended that I didn't see him and tried to quickly duck into the shower room but of course Negan stopped me.

"Morning sunshine", he said cheerfully, holding lucille. I looked up at him embarrassed.

"Holy shit. You look like a damn raccoon", Negan chuckled, leaning back slightly. I sighed.

"I was just about to shower so...", I said, edging towards the showers.

"I know how much you want me to join you but we gotta hurry up", Negan smirked. I ignored what he said.

"Whats happening today?", I asked.

"You'll see. Come downstairs once you're done" He said, as he pranced back down the hall. I rolled my eyes and finally entered the showers.

.......

I quickly made my way through the halls. Once I reached the middle of the sanctuary, I saw everyone and Negan standing around a furnace, hearing the sound of Negan giving a speech. I made my way down the metal stairs, watching Negans every move. He was getting in the face of someone which looked like the doctor. I then realised that Eugene and one of Negans saviours were watching on from the balcony. I walked through the crowd of onlookers, making my way to the front of the crowd so i could see what was going on (because im not the tallest person). Negan turned his head to me, his lips in a mischievous smirk.

"You're gonna want to pay close attension to this", Negan said, pointing lucille at a terrified Eugene.

Suddenly, Negan hit the doctor hard in the side using lucille, causing the doctor to fall to his knees in agony. Two saviours lifted the doctor to his feet, also making sure he didn't run.

"N-no I didn't do anything", the doctor stuttered. Negan reached into his jacket pocket, pulling out a small piece of paper.

"I found this little souvenir tucked away in your desk", Negan said, holding the paper up to the doctors face.

"I- I dont know what that is" the doctor said in fear. Negan face suddenly turned serious. He sighed and hit the doctor again in the stomach with lucille, causing the doctor to cough. Whats going on?

Negan walked over to a small table near the furnace, picking up black rubber gloves. Dwight was standing near the furnace holding a hook with an iron attached to it. He was staring into the flames, as if he was visiting an old memory. I suddenly realised what had happened to Dwight and wondered if the same was to happen to the doctor.

"You left the door open and let my puppy out", Negan said as he put on the gloves. I remembered how he was angry about one of his wives leaving, i guessed that, that was what this was all about.

I watched as Negan pranced around, intimidating everyone around him. I watched as he smirked and licked his lips. I realised that I was getting distracted and tried to focus on what was going on.

Dwight passed the iron to Negan. I watched as Negan walked towards the doctor, making sure he held the red hot iron carefully.

"Please dont burn me! Please", the doctor pleaded. The saviours holding the doctor tightened their grip, making it impossible for the doctor to get away.

"Now you know i hate this shit. Just tell me that you did it and that you're sorry and I wont have to do this", Negan said, holding the iron next to the doctors head.

"Yes. Yes i did it. All of it. Sir im so sorry", the doctor cried. I could tell the doctor didn't do it. I just wondered if Negan thought so too. Negan paused before dropping the iron to the floor.

"That's all you had to say", Negan smirked. Negan looked back up to a terrified Eugene. I knew this wasnt over.

Negan suddenly grabbed the doctor and hauled him into the furnace. I jumped in fright. I watched as Negan held the doctor down in the fire, as the doctor burnt to death. The doctor's bottom half of his body hung limply out of the furnace while the rest of him burnt. A horrible smell filled the air. I watched Negan as he smiled, walking away from the furnace. He stared at me, it seemed he thought all of that was impressive.

I quickly walked back to my room, I felt his eyes on me as I left. Everyone else was still standing there in shock. I hurried back to my room and sat on my bed, putting my head in my hands. Why do I have to love him? Why him? Out of all the people. What just happened only made me more guilty about kissing him.
