I'm Not What You Think I Am

Everything Has Changed

Carl looked down at Belle. He wanted her to wake up. He held her close to him. He could feel her heartbeat when he put his hand over it. It was loud and strong. But her breathing was light. He then looked at Michonne wanting her to help but no one moved. Carl picked Belle up and he went back to the line. He wouldn't let Negan abuse her anymore. She may be a killer but that's not who she really is. He knows that because he's been with ever since he saved her from death. When she was skin and bones. She's been there for him and he was always there for her...He stroked her hair lightly. The sun began to rise and he didn't know what to do. He looked over to where she used to lay and he saw blood. His heart dropped quickly. He lifted her shirt and he saw a big bruise. But no blood. He then checked her arms and he saw it. It was a big cut. He hoped she wouldn't get infected from this. He then took the red cloth from her jeans and he tied it on the wound. A rock must have cut her that or Negan did it. He then stroked her cheek and he looked down at her. Her head rested in his lap. 

"Please wake up. I can't lose you again..." He said as he remembered when the Prison broke down...He thought she was dead and he cried. But when Rick asked about it Carl always said it was because of Judith when in reality some of it was for Belle. He then heard the RV come back and he refused to let Belle go. But she was forced away from him by Negan. 

"Don't try and take what's not your's kid." Negan said as he then looked at Simon. 

"Put a gun behind everyone's head. Make it low so if they shoot it looks like a bloody mess." Negan said. Carl looked and saw that Belle was getting not a gun but Koda. Carl would not be able to live with himself if that person holding Koda mashed Belle's head in front of him. 

"Kid come here." Negan said. Carl got up and he walked over to Negan. He wasn't afraid. He answered Negan's questions with a little sass since he was pissed he beat up Belle. He didn't like his hat getting thrown either. He was got down but was forced to his stomach and he hissed a bit to himself as he tried not to lay his head on the ground. It would hurt if a rock got stuck where his eye used to be. 

Belle slowly woke up. She groaned as she looked around. Rick was shaking like a dog begging to not cut the arm off Carl. Belle glared at the man and she stood up. 

"Hey!" She yelled at Negan making him stop. Negan walked over to her and grabbed her by the hair. Belle didn't flinch she only looked him in the eye. 

"If you wanna see one of your wives hung when we go back then torcher Rick. But if you don't want Sherry dead then leave them alone. They are MY kills." Belle said straight to Negan's face. Negan smirked. 

"I forgot how stubborn you are. Well, then we will make you an example." Negan said. Belle looked at him. 

"So be it." She said as she wasn't afraid to die. Negan chuckled as he grabbed Rick and Carl and forced them over to Belle. 

"Rick I want you to hold your gun to the kids head. While the Kid chops off Belle's head with the ax. " Negan said smirking. Carl shook his head and so did Rick. 

"No....No, please. No." Rick begged as he didn't want to shot his son if Carl didn't kill Belle. 

"Do it now!" Negan yelled. Belle looked at Carl. She felt him move her hair and she then closed her eyes and she moved so he has more room. Carl was breaking. He lifted the ax but he was shaking and he didn't want to do this.  Carl dropped the ax and he pulled Belle into his arms. He wouldn't kill her. Rick dropped to his knees and he started to cry. Negan yelled at Rick some more and soon everyone understood. Negan looked at Belle. 

"I should have killed you. Don't you ever speak to me like that again." Negan said harshly to her.

"You will watch over them and make sure they get the shit. When I come back you better have changed. " Negan said before he left the group. No one moved. They were all shocked at what had just happened that night. Belle looked up at Carl who held her in his arms. 

"You're stupid you know that," Carl said looking down at her.

"Just wanted you to know I'm not a monster." She said as she moved hair out of his face. 

"I know, Thank you...For trying to save my arm which kinda worked." Carl said. Belle nodded and she then looked at her mom. Belle walked over to Maggie and she sat in front of her. 

"Mom I'm so sorry. I wanted to warn all of you but I had no way of telling you. I'm sorry. Mom..I'm so sorry." Belle said as she then hugged her mom tightly. 

"Please forgive me." She said as she cried heavily. 

"It's okay sweetie..." Maggie said as she cried and hugged Belle. Belle knew that once they got home to Alexandria that she would be under tight watch from those who witness the death of Abraham. She knew she was targeted by Sasha and Rosalina.
