Tumbling through the woods, my clothes ripped to shreds and blood kissed my face. I limped toward the walled structure, pounding on the steel doors, screaming until my voice became hoarse, hoping someone would hear me. The doors finally opened revealing two man holding guns.

    "Help! please!" I limped toward them, one man patted me down searching for any weapons then checked my arms and legs looking for a bite, but did not find one. All the while I was leaning against the wall trying my best not to collapse.

    After searching me, one of the men pulled the other aside and started mumbling occasionally glancing in my direction. They began to argue until one eventually gave in and said, "Alright come with me". He helped me walk through the compound as I sling my arm around his shoulder and his hand on my waist to keep my from falling. Everyone stared at us, looked clean and well taken care of. I on the other hand looked like the spick of dirt on a white plate.

    I was brought to a medical room, where my wounds were tended to and I was given new clothes. I refused to eat, everything tasted bitter, I grabbed my sides holding on to the ribs that were poking out and stared out the window.

    A man walked into the room wearing a leather jacket and a red scarf, he nodded to the doctor who then left.

    "The doc says your not talking." He smiled "That's not very polite, we did taking you in. Could you at least tell me your name?" The same smile plastered on his face.

    "Y/N" I whispered.

    "Well Y/N, I'm Negan"

    "I was also told, you're not eating". He stated while raising an eyebrow. I nodded. "Now why is that?"

    I shrugged looking away, sinking my nails into my hand until I felt something roll down my arm, I'm bleeding.

    Gentler smile shifted onto his face "If you're up to it, can you tell me what happened to you?" Negan asked if I was made of porcelain.

    I swallowed down a knot in my throat. He did take me in, the least I can do is answer his questions. "I was with this other group, we ran out of food" I paused "There was nothing left and the building was surrounded by walkers, there was no escape." My voice started to crack "They started eating one of our group members, she was screaming for them to stop, they just kept eating her."

    "Did you eat human flesh?" Negan asked with a firm voice.

    I jumped up "No of course not!" I said quickly not wanting to be grouped in with those cannibals. I sighed. "but I just stood there, I didn't say anything knowing they'll hurt me" A tear rolled down. "That's when the walkers broke in, the others didn't care they just kept eating her. I tried to run away, something pulled me back. My group members started pulling me, a walker got ahold of him and I managed to wiggle out. I ran." I started shaking, my eyes filled like a storm drain.

    "Doll, it's going to be okay, you're here now" Negan said softly "Hey, hey, hey, shhhhh" Negan rubbed circles on my back to calm me down.

    A year had passed.

    "Negan, I got the truck loaded, when are we going" I asked him, leaning against the RV.

    "Hold your horses Doll, we'll go when night falls" Negan said wrapping his arms around me, as I rolled my eyes smiling.

    Once black blanketed the night sky "Alright everyone let's get going!" I ordered Negan smirked. Negan and I hopped into the RV.

    "So you must be real pissed if you're sending your entire army to their front doorstep, what did they do? Take the last cookie?" I snickered.

    "Y/N, you know as while as I do what they did, and how we need to set an example, a damn good one" Negan smiled while polishing his barbwire covered bat.

    "If you say so, Captain" I sighed, tired of his constant tough guy act.

    Once we got to the agreed upon area, we waited there for a while, until I heard rustling coming towards us. It was a group, two men holding a stretcher with a woman on it and a handful of others wielding guns.

    "Negan, it's time" I whispered as I flicked on the RV's head lights (It was the agreed upon signal) then everyone else turned on there lights.

    Negan and I stayed in the RV until Simon banged on the door.

    "That's our cue, your highness" I chuckled while motioning to the door. Negan bowed with the same smile on his face.

    "Are we pissing our pants yet?" Negan said while making his grand entrance. After him I stepped out, my eyes landing on the woman that was being carried before. It looked as if death made her its bitch. Then my eyes landed on a young boy he seemed tough, he was shooting death glares at Negan.

    "Your people killed mine 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." Negan gave his signature smile, the one where you can't tell what he's thinking.                                       

    "You have no idea how not cool that shit is. But I think you're going to 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." he paused "You ready? Here goes. Pay attention. Give me your shit or I will kill you." Negan hissed "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."                                                     Negan raised his bat slamming it down on some red head, over and over. Until his head was unrecognizable.                                         "You bastard!" Yelled this man wearing a jacket somewhat similar to Negan's. The man pounced on Negan throwing a fist. I quickly stepped in punching him square in the face then kicking him to the ground.                                        

    While the saviors pulled him back to his spot Negan praised me. "Nice one Doll." Negan smirked.                                                      That day, Negan put fear in those people. It's just the kind of person he is.
