Negan's Seamstress.

Pills

Amber and I made our way down the halls of the sanctuary to the library. I knew she needed a distraction from the pain she carries. A good boom and chocolate always helped me when I am low.

The same gray walls greet us as we walk the halls. Workers hurry mopping, and vacuuming floors, as eager to get out of their leader's wives way.

The library is located in the back of the building. The large steel doors hide a pretty massive selection of books inside . The guard lets us in with a nod allowing us to browse the large room without being bothered.

The high shelves of books are a welcoming sight to a bookworm like me. I used to love being in the library at school. I would sneak in the school library and eat lunch with my friends in the back. It was our secret hideout. It allowed us to gossip without anyone knowing.

Amber looks around unsure of what aisle to go down. I gently lick my arm with hers as we walk down each aisle.

" Let's go down this way, I think the romance books are over here ."

We scan the books not finding anything that Amber seems to want. The books are in great condition. No dust anywhere in sight. Which is impressive seeing as nobody ever comes here as far as I know.

I slowly traced the tops of the books humming as I go. My heart leaps at seeing a book I know Amber would like.

" Amber, over here, I think I found something you may like ."
Her face holds no emotion, as her body moves slowly over to me.

"What did you find?" She asks, in the same monotone voice that she came here with.

A big smile forms on my face as I grab the bookkeeping the title hidden.

" Guess what I found ?"

She crosses her arms letting out a huff.

" I don't want to guess just tell me ."

I roll my eyes.

" You are no fun !"

I turn the book around watching her face go from sour to a smile.

" I can't believe we have that !" She exclaimed, her voice lifted at the sight of her favorite series.

She grabs the book eagerly holding it to her chest.

" The Harry Potter series!  Thanks so much, Katie !"

A warm feeling spread in my chest at seeing her smile.

" Your welcome, now let's go check that aisle over there ."

Her hand raised to her lips, indicating for us to be quiet.

The door to the library swings opens causing us to freeze in place. The loud sound of heels clicking against the hardwood floors is unmistakable.

I hear voices of women talking that I recognize as Tonya and Franky.

" We have to move quickly if we want our plan to work Franky ." Tonya's voice echoes in the room."

I know that! We need Eugene to do what we asked. I think he believed us when we said we needed it for Amber.
For a smart man, he is an idiot when it comes to woman." Franky snickered.

" Her acting all upset last night was perfect! He actually thinks the pills are for her! We should go to his room tonight, hopefully, they are done ." Tonya states as her fingers brushed against the binders of the books.

"I agree! I can't wait for Negan to be dead! I hate the way the rules here. The whole place will be better without him! "

Amber an I look at each with wide eyes not believing what we are hearing ." Let's grab the book and get out of here. I am not a fan of books like you are Tonya."

  Amber and I slowly move to another aisle trying to not make any noise.

" That's strange I thought we had all the books. Well, we can get them another time. Somebody must have checked them out ."

Tonya and Franky shrug their shoulders and walk out not noticing us.

" Oh my god! I can't believe they are trying to kill Negan! We have to stop them !" I say frantically.

Amber simply nods, knowing the resolution.

" I agree! They will get us all killed! " We have to get the pills from Eugene and make sure he knows the truth. If he knew they were for Negan he would not help them."

"Okay! Let's go!"
