Negan's Seamstress.

The Iron Edited

My palms were sweating as I held tightly to Carl's hand. Carl an I stood on the balcony looking down at Ambers former boyfriend Mark.

He had a rope tied around his body that was attached to a chair near a really hot furnace. Beads of sweat poured down his face,  while his body shook with fear. 

The heat coming from the furnace made the rest of my body become hot, causing sweat to form on my own body. The atmosphere in the room was this with anticipation and fear,  as Negan stood above his people,  a sister smile etched on his face. 

  Negans hands clutched the metal railing as he begins to talk.

" You all know the deal, what's about to happen here is a result of the rules being broken. We have rules for a reason and if you follow them, then your life is great. "

His face darkened as his gaze moved to Marks trembling form.

"However, if you neglect your job! Then it's the iron for you! Mark, I am the sorry man you should have done your job instead of trying to be with Amber! "

That's where she was the other day.

Negan grabs the iron, the blazing red metal sends shivers down my spine.
Negan places the iron directly on the man's face, causing a sick sizzle to erupt from Marks skin.

Marks head jolts back,  as blood-curdling scream erupts from his mouth.

I see the iron being pulled away and the once smooth skin on his face is now pale white and part of his skin pulls away from his face still attached to the hot surface.

Negans sick smile fills me with disgust. 

How can he be so cruel?

"Well, now we are totally cool! We are even! Let Marks' face be a daily reminder that the rules matter! Daryl, come clean this shit up! Sorry shit pissed himself!  Doc I am done do your thing !"

Negan made his way back to Carl and me with his cheesy grin on his face. "I bet you think I am lunatic! They all know why we have rules and the consequences for breaking them.

I bet Katie can tell you what happens when you don't follow the rules! Oh, wait! I am sorry you did see! I almost forgot you were there when she paid the heavy price for leaving me!"

Asshole.

I know he was the cause which makes it hard for me to think about how much a small part of me actually is attracted to him.

I hate myself for it but it's true. I'll never admit to anyone and definitely won't act on it. I clench my jaw making it hurt a little.

" Yes, I am very aware of the consequences of leaving you! I was happy for a little while and then you destroyed my happiness! You made me kill somebody.  Someone, I could have actually been happy with ." I spat,  my eyes filled with tears, as the memory replayed in my mind.

Negans shoulders tensed,  as he took in my words. His fingers tapped against the handle of Lucille, as he tried to useless his anger.

" We will talk about this later, for now, we have to take this little bad ass home. Let's load up in the truck ."

I know I will pay for that.

Negan walks up ahead,  allowing Carl to speak.

"They are safe by the way. Jesus told us he hides them when the Saviors come so that they aren't ever found ." Carl says to try to reassure me.

Thanks, Carl, I miss them. They are safer dead ."

Carl places his arm around me hugging me tightly." It will be okay Katie, we will make sure he doesn't find them. If he starts looking for them then we will hide them. I promise ."

I wipe the tears from my face while pushing the door open. Negan is leaning against the truck, enjoying this power trip.

"Took you two long enough to get here! What you to do doing ?! Making out in the hallway ?"

I rolled my eyes and pulled away from Carl.

" Are you serious ?"

" No, but it was worth it to see your face ."

Whatever.

Negan rolls the window down and yells at Daryl in the fenced part tending to walkers.

" You seemed worried, so I thought I will tell you I am taking the kid home !"

Daryl gets angry then lunges forward,  his hands grip the metal fence,  in a deadly grip.

" If anything happens to that kid I swear to God I will kill you !"

Negans face was stern as he gazed at Daryl, then over to Dwight.

"Dwight! Daryl needs a time out! Put him back in the box to cool off!"

Dwight drags Daryl back inside as Negan flips Daryl off.

"So immature !" I mutter under my breath.

" I heard that! I am very fucking mature."
