I'm Not What You Think I Am

Barbwire scars

Belle sighed as she was being taken away by country girl sisters. Maggie and Beth. Belle liked Maggie. She was a semi mother figure to the girl. Belle wanted to take over her black leather jacket off but it was stuck to her arms because of the barbed wire. The thought gave her flashbacks.

*Flashback*

"D-Do I have to kill him? " Belle asked looking at an old man late 80s maybe. She didn't like killing old people... 

"Yes. Now do it!" Negan ordered as he was sitting in his chair waiting. The old man was on his knees coughing. He was weak and tired but he didn't want to die...He wanted to find his wife, let her turn him so he could walk an undead life with her. Belle walked up and she went to do it but she was taking too long. Negan killed the man smashing his head until it was mush. He then dragged Belle over to the truck and he ordered Simon to give him the barbwire. Belle took off her jacket when she was ordered too and she winced as she felt the barbwire be wrapped around her arms tightly. She looked at her arms once it was over. She moved them and blood was spilled. 

"Now if you disobey again I'll do worse. But these won't come off until you're a good girl." He said as he bent down in front of her. Belle nodded as she hid her tears so he wouldn't slap her. She looked down and she was covered once again.

*Flashback over*

Maggie looked at Belle "Why don't you take off your jacket so we can wash it and change your clothes." She said. Belle shook her head. 

"The Jacket won't come off." She said quickly. Beth was getting a Bath ready for Belle so they would wash her up and maybe shave off her hair since a brush would do nothing to the tangled hair. Maggie walked over and tried to take the clothes off and slowly she got the jacket off and she gasped. Blood and scars and wire.

"DADDY!" Maggie yelled getting the old man with one leg over quickly. 

"What's wrong Maggie?" The man asked 

"Her arms. We need to get that wire off her now!" Maggie said. But sadly due to the scream nearly everyone in the group could see Belle's arms. Even her new friend Carl who tried to walk over but was held back by his mother. The old man walked over to Belle. 

"What's your name, little girl?" The man asked sitting on a wooden box. 

"Belle." She answered. 

"Well Belle, I'm Hershel, I'm gonna get these wires off your arms, Okay. It may hurt but I need you to be strong" He said. Belle nodded and she sat down and she let him pick away at the wire. The bad news was the ends were burned onto her skin. Belle had to get her mouth covered by a rag and Maggie's hand. Belle screamed but it was muffled and the wire came off on one arm. Now it was time for the second one. 

After the wires were taken off Belle was taken to her bath and stripped off her clothes. She slowly got in and she let Beth and Maggie scrub the dirt off her skin and carefully clean her wounds on her arms. Lucky for Belle no one asked about the wire so far but one detail there was an N carved in each burned ends of the wire so Belle knew who her owner was. She made sure no one saw the N's on her as she didn't want them to know that one day she will have to kill all of them with Koda.
