Heaven in Hiding (Negan)

Part 5

Negan stepped out of the RV and paused, taking the scene in. That smirk never leaving his face. This is what he lived for.
"Pissin our pants yet?" He asked as he started to walk toward them. I followed at a slight distance, my gun gripped in my right hand.
"Boy. Do I have a feeling we're gettin close. It gonna be pee pee pants city here real soon." I hung back a bit looking at the people in this group. This small group. How could that have fucked so much of our stuff up? My gaze stopped for a moment on a kid. Well, he was a teenager but still a kid. And I kept looking at them I noticed a sick looking woman. She was sweaty and red. You could tell she was in pain.
"So, which one of you pricks is the leader?" Negan asked.
"It's this one." Simon spoke out, pointing at a gruff looking guy in a brown coat. "He's the one." That terrified man was the leader? I thought it was the red head. He hadn't shown one ounce of fear yet. He sat up on his knees full of confidence. Unlike this one. He was hunched over and shaking with wide eyes. Negan was talking to the leader,Rick, giving him the full speech about the new world order and blah blah blah. As he did I couldn't help but wonder who he was going to take out. I knew he wouldn't kill the kid or the sick lady, probably not any of the women. He wasn't the type to kill women unless absolutely necessary. My money was on the redneck one since he's caused a lot of trouble for us.
"You understand?" Negan asked Rick. He was silent. Negan leaned down and cupped his ear with his free hand. "What? No answer?" I couldn't help but chuckle a bit. He was such a sassy piece of shit sometimes. He pulled back and put his hand over his mouth, pulling it down his stubble. "You didn't think you were gonna get through this without being punished did you?" Negan asked. "I don't want to kill you people. I want you to work for me and you can't do that if your dead. Can you?" He asked pointing Lucille at Rick. "And you killed an ass load of my people. A lot more then I'm fucking comfortable with. So now. I'm going to bash the unholy hell out of one of you." And he started walking down the line with Lucille. Talking to the kid for a bit and making his way to the sick lady. "You look shitty. Maybe I should just put you out of your misery." He said and then a guy from down the line started screaming. I raised my gun toward him but Another savior got to him and pushed him to the ground. Negan lightly pushed my gun down and winked at me. "Get him back in line. Don't any of you do that again. I will shut that shit down. No exceptions. First ones free. It's an emotional moment. I get it." He said. I let out a loud sigh. As much as I trust Negan I still felt he was being too soft. He talked to Rick a bit and then stood back. "I gotta pick somebody. I simply cannot decide."
"I can." I spoke up glaring at the redneck. Negan chuckled and looked back at me.
"Come on now doll. Everyone has the honor to meet Lucille here. So let's not pick favorites." I rolled my eyes and let him do this thing. "I got an idea. Eenie,menie..." he started going down the line. This is how he was gonna pick someone? He could be so childish I swear. He stopped at the red headed man. Negan said a little speech and held Lucille up high and then brought her down fast. That familiar crunch of her against a skull had me butting my bottom lip. The man sat back up.
"Suck. My. Nuts." The guy said. Negan chuckled and went again and again. Smashing his skull open until there was nothing but bone and red mush left. He glanced to me and smirked. He knew I was enjoying this. I looked away quickly to examine the others. They were crying quietly. Some were sobbing. Negan stopped pounding down and let Lucille hang there a moment, the glistening blood slowly dripping from her rusted metal.
"Look at this." Negan said with a laugh as he leaned back a bit. "You guys. Look at my dirty girl!" He said with a swing, splattering the blood onto some of them. He walked over to a woman and held Lucille up to her. "Lay your eyes on this." He paused for a moment then looked over to the now mutilated body of the guy. "Oh shit. Were you two together? That sucks." Negan was going off on another speech trying to force her to look at he lovers brain matter when out of the corner of my eye the redneck got up. As I pointed my gun he punched Negan across the face. I felt my blood boil as my arm went back and I pistol whipped him across the face as hard as I could. Two other saviors reached out and grabbed him as he stumbled back then Forced him to the ground. I could feel the blood drip to my fingers from the gun. I busted his lip open. I went to shot him when Negan walked over angrily.
"No!" He shouted pointing Lucille at him. He knelt down. "That shit is a no no! The whole thing! Not one fucking bit of that shit flies with me!" Dwight quickly walked up with a crossbow.
"You want me to do it?" He asked. Ready to fire. I growled.
"Excuse me." I said annoyed as I looked at him, my gun still pointed toward the rednecks head.
"No. Get him back in that line." Negan said, without a second going by they did as he said. "Now what did I fucking say? The first ones free after that I will shut. That. Shit. Down!!" He paused to suck his teeth. "I don't know what kind of lying assholes you've been dealing with but I'm a man of my word. First impressions are important. I need you fine people to know me. So. Back to it." He said turn and hitting the guy closest to him. The one that jumped out of line first. I jumped a bit at the first blow. I wasn't expecting him to go after him that fast. The blood splatter like a beautiful painting as it hit the ground. Negan landed another hit but the guy sat up. His eye literally popping out of his head. Looking toward the sick girl. He was trying to say something but I couldn't understand him. He spoke to the group a bit more as the man sat up blubbering and dripping blood until Negan gave another blow,knocking him to the ground.  Again he brought the bat down onto his skull. Over and over until there was nothing but mush. I glanced around the group to see them broken. Their hope and spirit long gone by now as they watched yet another friend die. Although this one didn't have to. This ones death was on the rednecks hands. Negan stopped then looked to me. My eyes met his as he motioned for me to go toward the RV. I gave him a small nod and started back. He grabbed Rick from the ground and literally dragged him to the RV. I opened the door for him and he threw Rick in. After Negan got in I followed,slamming the door behind me. Negan threw Rick to the back,put the ax he took from him into the table and sat in the drivers seat. He looked back. "Come on Doll," he patted the passenger seat with his gloved hand. "I need a copilot." I rolled my eyes and walked over. Sitting down in a way I was still turned toward Rick. "Let's go for a ride." He said and turned the key. It took a few times but it eventually started.
"Wow. This is a piece of shit." I said looking over to Negan.
"Darling you took the words right out of my mouth." I looked back at Rick who was glancing between us. It looked like he was thinking. And I know what he was thinking.
"We aren't together if that's what you were thinking." I said turning around in my seat to face out the window. "I don't think I'd ever get with him."
"Ouch Prue. Words fucking hurt you know." He joked then looked through the rear row mirror. He started egging Rick on. Telling him to grab the ax and try to kill him. Even tho I was relaxed in the chair I was still at the ready. This guy couldn't be that much of a moron could he? I heard him move a bit then run full force. I got up in an instant and turned toward him my gun pointed directly between his eyes.
"Try me prick. I've been itching to kill someone all damn night." I said with my finger hovering over the trigger. "Now drop the fucking ax." I said looking him dead in the eyes. Rick studied me for a moment then dropped it. A drawn out whistle left Negans lips.
"You are on a roll tonight Prue! Damn." He complimented me as I picked the ax up and handed it to him. He smirked and hit it back into the table. I wound up my arm and punched Rick in the jaw, sending him to the ground. "You like that shit Rick? My girl here is a fucking badass ain't she? And I bet you were wondering why I had her tag along." I let out an annoyed sigh and sat back down in my seat. Putting my feet up on the dash as we drove away.
"Stop calling me that. I don't belong to anyone you jackass." I said crossing my arms.
"Is that right Doll?"
"I AM Negan after all." I said shooting him a smirk.
"God damn doll are you trying to get me hard?" He joked. I couldn't help but chuckle. He was such a typical man when it came to his dick. We got to the road pretty quickly and off we went. I glanced to Rick every now and then to make sure he was staying put. He was. After a punch like that he should stay down. I put my feet down and started going through the glove compartment and found two granola bars. I grabbed them and tapped Negan on the shoulder with one. He glanced over and took one. "Aren't you thoughtful."
"We didn't eat dinner yet. I'm starving." I said opening mine and taking a bite. He handed it back to me to open. I put mine in my mouth as I opened it for him. He took it and kept driving. They were stale as shit but still good enough to eat.
The RV slowed to a stop and Negan got up,yanked the axe from the table and held it firmly in his hand. He opened the door and killed a walked that had walked up. It fell to the ground and Negan promptly tossed the axe out the door.
"Hey Rick. Go get my axe." Another walker walked over and he hit it with the top of his bat. "I wanna be friends Rick." When Rick didn't answer I could see the discontent in Negans face. He scrunched his nose and lent over, holding the bloody Lucille in front of his face. "Get. My. Axe." Rick took a second but he got up. Negan roughly shoved him out the door and closed it. I got up and looked out the window.
"You think he'll be okay?" I asked him with my arms crossed.
"Ehh. He should be." I chuckled. "Havin fun Doll?" The smile on my face turned to a frown.
"You call me that to bug me don't you?" I asked annoyed. He sucked his teeth and gave me a crooked smile.
"You know it." I let out a sigh and leaned against the wall near the door.
"Wonder what they're thinking."
"Who?"
"Rest of his group. Kneeling there with their dead friends,saviors eyeing them up the whole time." I looked over at Negan who was smirking at me. "What?"
"Prue, darling I do think you might be more demented then I am. And holy shit. Is it hot." He said walking up to me. I looked up at him as he towered over me. My heart caught up in my throats as I tried to push my nerves and dare I say it, attraction, down. I found my eyes quickly glance at his lips then to his eyes. He started to lean down and Move his hand to my right cheek. It was like slow motion as his lips crashed onto mine. At first I was a bit hesitant but I eventually gave into the kiss. Our lips locked together for a moment before a clang brought us back. He pulled away annoyed as he looked up. Rick must have thrown the axe to the roof to try to get away from the walkers. "We can continue this later." Negan said as he walked to where he heard the clang. "Bet you all thought you were gonna grow old together." Negan spoke. Sitting around the table at Sunday dinner. No. It don't work like that Rick. Not anymore," Negan went on as I looked at him. Replaying the kiss that just happened. It didn't mean anything right? I mean it's not like I didn't like it. I don't want to be the person Sleeping with her boss. Not to mention his wives. Ugh. I don't wanna get stuck in that freaky shit. "Bring me. My axe!" Negan shouted. I pulled my gun and held it up. He looked back at me and I smirked. I started shooting into the roof. Starting from the end Rick wasn't at. I heard him run and jump off. "Nice touch." Negan said.
"My trigger finger was itching." I said with a shrug as I walked toward the back and opened the window. Walkers were almost as Rick as his legs dangled helplessly into the horde. I aimed and started shooting heads. I felt Negan brush up against me as he helped shoot some walkers. He stopped and pushed my gun down.
"Clocks a tickin Rick." Negan said and closed the window. I followed him to the door. He locked it. "Honk the horn Doll." I shot him a glare as I walked over and honked twice. A few seconds passed and the door started to jiggle.
" Are we going to help?" I asked.
"You can." He said and flung the door open. I smirked taking the semiautomatic from his hands and spraying the horde of walkers. Careful to avoid Rick. They fell and Rick scrambled to his feet and ran toward the RV. He slammed the door behind him and fell to the ground,panting. Negan held his hand out and I sat down in the passenger seat. Rick got up and put the now bloody axe in Negans hand. Negan smiled big. "Attaboy!" He slammed the axe into the table yet again and sat in the driver seat. The RV started up on the first try and off we went.
"Wow it fucking reeks in here." I said waving my hand in front of my face. Negan chuckled.
"He is covered in walker guts." I glanced back at Rick. He was looking down and shaking a bit. It almost made me feel bad for him. Almost. I turned around and put my feet up.

About ten minutes passed and we parked. Negan turned the engine off and stood up. 
"We're here prick."
