MICHAELA'S POV

     When I returned to the cage, Jesus cut my binds and motioned me inside. Everyone's binds had been removed, with the exception of Jared, since he has proven himself more stupid than humanly possible. I guess he decided to try and lunge for Susan's holstered gun before Maggie struck him with her gun. Gregory was still off in his corner, cowering in fear, nursing his bleeding head. I shot him a look and he curled up into a fetal position. Fucking pussy. "Feel better?" MJ smiled.

     "Loads." I smiled back.

     "Who was that guy ya stopped to talk to?"

     "Aaron, his boyfriend was killed yesterday."

     "I'm sorry."

     "Me, too. Eric was a good man, a good friend."

     "And what about the Qui-Gon Jinn looking guy?"

     "That'd be Jesus."

     "Jesus?"

     "Paul Rovia, but everyone calls 'em Jesus. The woman, that's Maggie, she was part of Alexandria. We were takin' 'er here to see Dr. Carson for pregnancy complications the day I got taken to the Sanctuary." I sighed. "Why you ask?"

     "Just wonderin'."

     "Okay, Aaron is off limits right now."

     "I know, but I can still look." MJ smiled. "The short haired one may be off limits, but damn he has a nice ass."

     "Damn, you're a fuckin' horn dog."

     "What? Ya can't tell me you've never looked."

     "He's gay, even if I did look it wouldn't matter anyways. Besides, I was married at the time."

     "So, ya never checked anyone else out while married to Daryl?"

     "Now, I didn't say that."

     "Oh, I knew you were lyin'!" MJ laughed. "Who?"

     "Well, I mean, I didn't really check 'em out, it was more of an inevitable thing. When Jesus broke out of his cell, he went to Rick's room to wake 'em up. I was goin' to see Carl at the same time when I heard Jesus talkin', so I ran into Rick's room and he was naked with Michonne."

     "Who?"

     "Rick's girlfriend."

     "Oh... is he hot?"

     "Is sex all ya care about?" I laughed.

     "No, it's just that now I'm open about it, ya see my true colors."

     "Well, at least I have someone to check out guys with now."

     "Michaewa?" Elijah gently tugged on my shirt. "Are you gonna die? The old man said you're gonna die." I glared over at Gregory.

     "Did he, now?" Gregory quickly looked away. I let out a sigh and turned back to Elijah, gently placing my hands on his shoulders. "Bud, there's somethin' I gotta tell ya. Before I came to the Sanctuary, these were my people. My friends. My family. They were gonna take my husband Daryl from me, but I offered that they take me instead, and Negan agreed."

     "I thought Negan was your husband?"

     "He is, I'm gettin' to that part. You remember the day I took off without sayin' goodbye?" Elijah nodded. "I ran, I hated Negan at that moment and wanted to escape, but Negan hunted me down and brought me back. Some things were said and done that should never've been said or done, and my group exiled me. Negan was there for me, made me happy, so I divorced my husband Daryl and married Negan... that didn't go well with my old group."
