The First Day of the Rest of Your Life

"Chloe" I heard and turned to see Carl. "Are- Are you okay?" he asked and I sighed nodding. I engulfed him into a hug. "I was in a mood last night. I'm sorry" I told him and he nodded. "It's alright" he told me and I sighed again. "With Dwight here, and if he comes here then I'll be fucked, and he'll-" Carl cut me off by kissing me. I kissed him back, and he pulled away rubbing my arms with his hands. "Calm. Down. You're going to over work yourself" he told me and I nodded taking a deep breathe. "He's not going to take you. Not again" He told me and kissed my head.

We hugged each other for a second, before we heard our door open. We pulled apart and turned to see Rick and Michonne. "Morning guys" I said and they chuckled, "Morning you two. Get ready big day today" Rick told us and they turned leaving. "I swear they do that on purpose." Carl said and I chuckled, "As much as they scold and snap they love us together" I told him and he hmmed.

Leaving the room we went to brush our teeth. "Man my whole daily routine is out of wack with Judith gone" I told him before taking water in my mouth. "Right" He said and I spit the water out of my mouth. We went outside to make sure everyone was stocked, before taking our positions. Carl went up on the wall while I took position on another high point that looked over the north west wall. "Hello?" I herd and turned seeing a girl with short black hair. "Hi" I said and cocked my rifle. "Worry?" She asked but I shook my head. "A little" I told her.

"All points are covered. Every contingency is already met. I come armed with two barrels of the truth. A test is upon you, and I'm giving out the cheat sheet." Eugene's voice called out, and I turned looking to see him standing on a truck and a megaphone. "H-Hello. I come salved with the hope that it is my dropped knowledge that you heed. Options are zero to none. Compliance and fealty are your only escape. Bottom-lining it -- You may thrive, or you may die. I sincerely wish for the former for everyone's sake. The jig is up and in full effect. Will you comply, Rick?" Rick then called out "Where's Negan?" And Eugene just says "I'm Negan."

Suddenly I was pushed off the wall and I landed on my back painfully. I groaned, but was jerked up by the same chick. She stood over me as she hit me. I turned and kicked her back.

Except someone else came up behind me and grabbed me "Let me go!" I called out and tried to hit them. I was brought to the front of the wall and slammed on the car. "Oh little CC Greene!" Negan called out, and I froze. Jonnie came over and jerked me up holding a knife to my throat.

"You ever hear the one about the stupid little prick named Rick who thought he knew shit but didn't know shit and got everyone he that gave a shit about killed? It's about you. You're all gonna wanna put your guns down now." Negan called out, but Rick just says "No one drops anything. We had a deal." The trash lady just calls out "Tamiel came for the boat things. Followed ones who took. Made a better deal."  Negan turned to me and walked over. "You push me, and you push me. And you push me, CC." He cupped my face, before turning to Rick.

"You just tried to blow us up, right? I mean, I get me, my people. But Eugene? He's one of yours. And after what he did -- He stepped up. You people... are animals. Universe gives you a sign, and you just shove your finger right up its ass. Dwight, Simon, chop-chop. So, you don't like Eugene anymore. You guys gotta like Sasha. I do, too. Got her right here packaged for your convenience, alive and well. Now, I brought her so I wouldn't have to kill all of you, and not killing all of you could get complicated. See, I know there's a lot of firepower left in there, Rick. So I'm gonna make this simple. I want all the guns you've managed to scrape up. Yep, I know about those, too. I want every last grain of lemonade you got left. I want a person of your own choosing... for Lucille. Daryl -- Ooh, I gotta get me my Daryl back. I see you. I'm taking Chloe with me too. She needs more discipline then just falling off a wall, And the pool table and all the pool cues and chalk. And I want it now or Sasha dies, and then all of you. Probably. C'mon, Rick. Just because I brought her in a casket doesn't mean she has to leave in it."
