So this is kind of a long one! Again, sorry for taking so long lol, but enjoy!
Being on the road is always bad. Never knowing what's gonna happen, never knowing who, or what, is around the corner. It's even worse when you're worried about the last of family you have left. The people on this RV, minus a couple back at Alexandria are the only family I have.
I'm sitting in the main part of the RV when Rick walks by me and Carl. He gives us a small smile and walks into the room where Maggie is laying. I hear him start to speak. I catch a few words
"The doctor at the hilltop is going to change everything."
I hope this doctor can help. Maggie needs to get better. For me. For Glenn.
~Timeskip~
I say goodbye and good luck to Eugene as we all start to exit the RV. The saviors are blocking every road to The Hilltop but we have decided to go on foot. Maggie is laying on the ground with a gurney underneath her so we can carry her easily. Carl and I run slightly forward and kill the walkers that we see. Carl looks at me with eyes full of hope. I smile.
The group has been jogging for about ten minutes now, we start to slow down slightly to take a break. Whistling fills our ears and I snap my head around trying to see where it's from. Bright head lights flash on all around us and my heart starts beating loudly like thunder on a stormy night. A man starts grabbing at me and I immediately elbow him in the stomach. Another nasty man walks towards me and holds my arms behind my back as the one I elbowed takes my weapons from my body, making sure to linger in the most inappropriate places. From the look on his face he's doing it on purpose. I glance at Carl and notice him staring at the man with fury as he finally takes my last weapon, a knife in my boot. "Good. You made it. Welcome to where you're going. We'll take your weapons. Now. We're done talking. Time to listen. That's yours, right? Yeah, it's yours. Okay. Let's get her down and get you all on your knees. Lots to cover. Hold up. We got it. Sure, sure. Gonna need you on your knees"
I'm then pushed to my knees, I immediately become fearful as I see everyone else on their knees as well. My eyes scan around and see a ridiculous amount of people with weapons, as well as a the RV right in front of us.
I snap my head when I hear a van open. I see Michonne, Rosita, Glenn and Darryl dragged out. My stomach turns at the sight of Glenn. I instantly reach for the small necklace he gave me as a child. I always wear it as a reminder of what things once were. I now take a minute to look at our people, Eugene is here, beaten and bloody. Carl is between me and Eugene, looking confused yet angry. To my right, Aaron sits looking panicked. Sasha's eyebrows are knitted together, as if she's trying to figure out what's happening. Rick is looking at the ground, most likely trying to think of a way out. Maggie's holding her stomach and my heart skips a beat, my breath instantly quickening. Abraham is high and proud on his knees, refusing to go down. Michonne, Rosita, and Darryl look like they barely know where they are, while Glenn is staring intently at Maggie.
"Alright, let's meet the man!"
The unmistakeable sound of a squeaking door fills my ears.
"Pissing our pants yet? Boy, do I have a feeling we're getting close. Yep. It's gonna be pee-pee pants city here real soon. Which one of you pricks is the leader?" I look up to see a man wearing a leather jacket carrying a baseball bat- with barbed wire?
"This one boss." I assume the asshole is pointing to Rick. "Hi. You're Rick, right? I'm Negan. And I do not appreciate you killing my men. Also, when I sent my people to kill your people for killing my people, you killed more of my people. Not cool. Not cool. You have no idea how not cool that sh1t is." I feel my eyebrows push together. "But I think you're gonna be up to speed shortly. Yeah. You are so gonna regret crossing me in a few minutes. Yes, you are. You see, Rick, whatever you do, no matter what, you don't mess with the new world order. And the new world order is this, and it's really very simple. So, even if you're stupid, which you very may well be, you can understand it. You ready? Here goes. Pay attention. Give me your sh1t... or I will kill you." I shake my head slightly, he has to be kidding. "Today was career day. We invested a lot so you would know who I am and what I can do. You work for me now. You have sh1t, you give it to me. That's your job. Now, I know that is a mighty big, nasty pill to swallow, but swallow it you most certainly will. You ruled the roost. You built something. You thought you were safe. I get it. But the word is out. You are not safe. Not even close." I swallow the spit that is barely in my mouth. I've always felt we weren't safe, but here we are, actually facing it. "In fact, you are pegged, more pegged if you don't do what I want. And what I want is half your sh1t. And if that's too much, you can make, find, or steal more, and it'll even out sooner or later. This is your way of life now. The more you fight back, the harder it will be. So, if someone knocks on your door......you let us in. We own that door. You try to stop us and we will knock it down. You understand?" My stomach starts to clench, making me want to vomit. "What, no answer? You don't really think that you were gonna get through this without being punished, now, did you? I don't want to kill you people. Just want to make that clear from the get-go. I want you to work for me. You can't do that if you're dead, now, can you? I'm not growing a garden. But you killed my people, a whole damn lot of them. More than I'm comfortable with. And for that, for that you're gonna pay. So, now... I'm gonna beat the holy hell outta one of you." My breath hitches in my throat. "This-- this is Lucille, and she is awesome. All this, all this is just so we can pick out which one of you gets the honor." Negan starts to walk towards me and Carl and I immediately reach for Carl's hand, he gives me a reassuring squeeze. Negan starts to say something then stops when he sees our hands intertwined. " My, My, what do we have here? A pretty little lady with the leaders son." He turns to Carl. "That is your dad right? Yeah definitely." My eyes flutter shut for a second as I try to calm myself. Negan puts the bat underneath my chin, lifting up my head. I feel it scratch my neck roughly. Negan grunts softly. "Mm we could have some great fun." I clench my jaw from disgust and turn my head. "No? You'll come around." He says chuckling. Negan walks toward Maggie. "Jesus. You look shitty. I should just put you out of your misery-" "NO!" Glenn screams. His voice jagged from not speaking. He lunges forward towards Maggie. "Nope, Nope. Get him back in line." Negan speaks. Glenn continues to beg quietly. "All right, listen. Don't any of you do that again. I will shut that shit down, no exceptions. First one's free. It's an emotional moment, I get it. Sucks, don't it? The moment you realize you don't know shit."
Negan starts to walk.
"Shit, I simply can't decide."
He goes to us one by one. Deciding which one to end.
"Eenie... meenie... miney... mo... catch... a tiger... by... his toe. If... he hollers... let him go. My mother... told me... to pick the very best one... and you... are... it.""Anybody moves, anybody says anything, cut the boy's other eye out and feed it to his father and then we'll start."
"You can breathe, you can blink, you can cry."
"Hell, you're all gonna be doing that."
Abraham.
I suck in a deep breath and release it quickly as my vision begins to blur from tears. I hear Negan talking and Abraham say something back, I wish I could've caught it. Negan hits Abraham over an over again. He swings his bat and blood lands on my shirt. I flinch and swallow hard as I look at my friend smashed on the ground.
"Wow, look at my dirty girl!" He looks at Rosita. "Sweetheart, lay your eyes on this! Oh damn. Were you two together? That sucks. But you have to realize Red just took 1, or 5 or 6 for the team! So take. A damn look."
Darryl jumps up and attacks Negan, punching him directly in the face. A blonde man tackles Darryl to the ground and holds his own crossbow to his head. After a second of talk which I couldn't pay attention to, they put him back in line. My mind was racing thinking about all the ways I was going to kill Negan. "Now, back to it!" I look up quickly just as he hits Glenn. I scream louder than I ever have. " NO! GLENN!" Tears flood my eyes and I fall forward I'm clutching my heart. "M-Maggie, I'll find you~"I start to get up when Carl pulls me back down. I hear him whisper "y/n please I can't lose you." I sob loudly, falling back from my knees, pulling them up to my chin. My body shakes to the core with every smack of the bat. I'm trembling. "I can see this is hard on you guys. I am truly sorry, I really am. But I did say. No exceptions!" He hits him again. I feel Carl breathing heavily next to me. I hear everyone crying.
I close my eyes and drift away. Back to a time I was happy.
Glenn and I are running, laughing, together. I open my eyes and come back to reality.
It's all over.
