Negan's Daughter

Chapter 64

My body was shaking as Negan faced me with a grin. A tear dripped off of my chin. "Let her go." Negan demanded. The men holding me back let me go and my hands flew forward to grip the ground in front of me. I stared up at the devil in front of me as he reached into his belt and pulled out a knife. "I'll make a deal with you." He held the knife in his hands. "If you can kill me, then your group can leave without any harm to them. You all can leave if you can kill the only family you have left in this world." He threw the knife in front of me. He turned and faced my group he walked closer and began taunting them. I blinked back the tears and grabbed the knife. My hand began to shake violently. Negan turned back towards me and I broke down. I began sobbing trying to force myself to snap out of it and kill him. He's a monster.

"Not as easy as you thought huh." He sighed. "I don't want to hurt you. I loved you and your mother, and Max." I stared up at him through my tears. "But it's hard not to hurt the ones you love." My eyes shifted and landed on Carl as he stared at me in disgust with hurt misshaping his face. "Like how you're hurting them right now" I closed my eyes and wished I could disappear. I was weak. Negan laughed. "This has got to be a stab in the gut for you guys, I mean I literally handed her a knife and allowed her to kill me after killing one of your group members and she still chooses me." Negan kept laughing as my sweaty plan gripped on the knife. Do it dammit. My eyes squeezed shut tighter as every thought about being an orphan, having no family left, and losing the last person in the world who connected me to my old life. The last person who knew Max or my mother.

My eyes shot open as I heard a shuffle. Daryl had punched Negan across the face. Negan stumbled back and Daryl was forced onto the ground. Negan came back up with a smile and stopped one of his men from killing Daryl. I stared at Negan as he paced in front of the group. Everything seemed to slow down as he spoke. Don't kill anyone else. He paused. "Back to it." Negan raised his bat and slammed it down onto Glenn's head. I screamed and rushed forward. Negan swung around and his bat whacked my face. I flew back on to the ground with fresh cuts across my skin. "Too late, you made your choice, move again and I kill two more." My eyes widened in horror as Glenn tried to talk to Maggie, his eye was dangling out of his skull.

"Maggie.... I'll- find you-." He muttered out as his convulsing body shook. Negan started taunting Maggie pretending to sympathize with everyone then turned around and continued beating Glenn with his bat. I did this, this is my fault. I should have killed him when I could've. I couldn't breath, my eyes burned. Slam, slam, slam.

"Lucille is thirsty, she is a vampire bat!" My body was trembling. This couldn't be happening. No, no, no. I let them down. What the hell did I do? Glenn is dead. I-

"What, was the joke that bad?" Negan asked me. I couldn't look up. He poked my cheek with his bat smearing blood across my face. I whimpered then glared up at him. He kneeled down next to me. "Come on sweetheart, don't be mad at me I'm your dad." He taunted. He leaned forward and kissed the top of my head. I started to shake. He killed Glenn. Glenn was nothing but good to me and I let him down. My hand was steady now. The knife was waiting to be used. My eyes landed on Rick. I let him down. He let me in his group, he was the first one I had met in the group. "I'll kill two more" replayed in my head. I slowly dropped the knife onto the ground. Negan leaned back and smiled at me as tears spilled out of my clenched eyes. I glared at him.

"I'm gonna kill you." Rick's voice interrupted. My eyes immediately shot back to Rick. He stood and walked closer to Rick. I shook my head rapidly. Negan kneeled in front of Rick.

"What? I didn't quite catch that you're  gonna have to speak up." There was a long pause as Rick shifted.

"Not today... not tomorrow... but i'm gonna kill you." Rick responded.

"Simone, what did he have a knife?" Negan asked.

"He had a hatchet." Simone answered.

"A hatchet?" Negan mocked.

"An axe." Simone clarified.

"Simone's my right hand man, havin one of those is important. I mean what do you have left without em. A whole lot of work. You have one? Maybe one of these fine people still breathing? Or did I... clock." Negan paused as Rick penetrated his mockery with daggers. "Sure, yeah, give me his axe." Simone handed Negan Rick's axe. Negan stood. "I'll be right back, maybe Rick will be with me." Negan grunted and began to drag Rick towards the rv. I jumped up and immediately felt a man grab me and shove my face into the dirt. The man leaned over me as I struggled to get free. "If not then maybe we can just turn these people inside out. I mean the ones that are left." Negan finished. My body shook and I felt my throat burn as Negan dragged Rick into the rv and slammed the door shut. Rick and Negan we're gone.
