Offered [Negan]Cover done by@ NatashaPalma Completed

Escape

The past couple of days have been a welcomed break from the stress of the sanctuary. I still hate Negan for hurting Trent like that but being away had made it easier for me to connect with him.

I can see him more as a person and less as the heartless killer. I still know what he has done and what he is capable of, but I am trying to see things from his side.

All of this and more stir in my brain as I finish packing up my stuff. I slam my suitcase shut and hall it to the truck parked out front.

I hear the crackle of a radio in the truck so I quickly grab it off the seat.

"Who is it?"

I asked impatiently as I stood to wait for a response.

"It's Simon we have a problem. Is Negan near you ?"

My lips parted to speak just as Negan jerked the radio out of my hand.

"What's the problem, Simon?"

"Negan, Trent, and Daryl  have escaped, they killed fat Joey, and took off on one of our bikes ."

My heart was lightened knowing they had escaped but was soon destroyed by Negan's next words.

"You go check Alexandria, they probably went there. See if that prick Rick knows where they are. I am on my way now, just put everyone else on lockdown.

I don't want anyone else leaving except you and the men you take. I will take care of Dwight's sorry ass when I arrive ."

"Yes sir, we will leave now ."

Negan tossed the radio into the back of the seat and slams the car door shut.

"Let's go Addison, and wipe that smile off your face. They are both in deep shit for escaping."

I swallowed hard as fear coursed through my body. I opened the door and slammed it shut not saying a word. The drive was tense with both of us wanting the other to speak. I decided to break the silence.

" I know that they shouldn't have left because it breaks your rules, but I am not going to pretend I am not happy they are free. Trent deserves to start over and find another person to love, and Daryl deserves to be back with his friends."

Negans hands clasped onto the steering wheel tightly as he clenched his jaw.

"You better hope they stay hidden. I can't promise that they will be alive if I find them. I know you care about them, but I have to make sure the rules are followed. "

I let out a sigh slumping my shoulders against the back of my seat. The soft leather felt cool against my skin making my seat comfortable.

"I know, I just wish it wasn't like this. I wish we could stay back at that house forever. We didn't have all the stress and carnage of this current world ."

"I agree with that baby, maybe one day that can happen ."

" Do you have to kill them? I know they broke your rules but .."

"I don't want too, but they've left me no choice. I could spare Trent,f he is willing to get the Iron, but Daryl he would have to swear loyalty to me.

Even then, he would have to be punished severely ."

I rubbed my face with my hands as tears fell from my eyes. I know that he can't break the rules for me. He reached his hand over to me taking my hand in his.

"I will be with you, to help you through this ."

I moved over leaning my head on his shoulder and let sleep take me.

"Addison, we are home ."

I lifted my head then gently rubbed my eyes as we pulled in. I furrowed my eyes in confusion as I noticed a group of men gathered in a circle. We got out of the truck and Negan sauntered over.

"What the hell happened here !"

They all knelt immediately upon his hearing his voice. Finally one spoke up.

"He was killed by Daryl and Trent sir ."

"Well, I can see that what I want to know how this happened . Where the fuck is Dwight ?"

"He is in his room, sir ."

"On your feet! I want you to pay him a visit. Show him what happens when we don't do our job!"

The men left quickly and Negan turned to me.

"I am going to have a talk with him, you go to the wives lounge ."

I nod and walked to the wives lounge quickly. The door opens allowing me seeing a bunch of worried women.

"What's wrong?"

I asked as I sat down on the soft couch. Franky was biting her nails as she nervously sat by me.

"It's Sherry, she is gone ."

"Hello, ladies, how are my sweet. Where is Sherry ?"

They all kept their heads down not wanting to say.

"Negan she escaped ."

His face was unreadable as he strolled to the door motioning for me to follow. I gave the girls a reassuring wave as I walked out. I was so scared of what he was going to do next. I know whatever it is, it's going end somebody's life.
