until the end || book 6 of 'she's a dixon'

chapter 8

a lot happened since our agreement with the hill top.

a lot of our people went to the outpost where the saviors lived. dad didn't have a good feeling about these people, so he made me stay back at home with carl. in which i didn't mind.

and then a couple of days later, denise needed to go on a run for medicine, and rosita and dad assisted her. i would've gone, but there wasn't enough room in the truck that they went in.

but on their way back from the run, they encountered the guy that stole dad's motorcycle and crossbow when he was leading that hoard of walkers.

the guy, who's name is dwight, shot denise in the face, but with backup from abraham and eugene, dwight and his people went off. but dad is extremely mad about this.

i was sitting on the porch with carl when dad came out and sat next to me. "hey" i said. "hey reagan, i love you" dad said hugging me. i hugged him back but scrunched my eyebrows in confusion. "i love you too....." i said. then he ran off.

i kept my eye on him though because i knew something was up. and next thing i knew, dad got in a car and drove out of alexandria. "what the hell is he doing?" i whispered quietly.

michonne and glenn came running towards me, they were at the gate when dad left. "daryl, he's seeking revenge on that dwight guy for killing denise" glenn said panting. "he's gonna get himself killed!" i said standing up.

"i know, that's why me and glenn are going after him and you're not. stay here, safe with carl, and we'll be back with your dad" michonne said. i nodded, then her and glenn went off.

a day had passed, and the three still weren't back. also maggie started having trouble with her pregnancy, and we need to immediately take her to the hill top. but with some of the saviors still on the loose, we're having to get extremely prepared just incase.

"reagan, why do you always try to keep me safe?" carl asked randomly walking closer to me. "i feel like it's my job to. you're supposed to protect the people you love the most, right?" i said. then carl pulled me in for a hug.

my dad recently ran off and had gone missing. if he is dead, carl is the only person i have to live for.

"my dad is gone, your the only thing i have now" i said. then i looked up at him and we kissed.

so we got everything loaded up and we are now on the road.

we had two run ins with two different groups of saviors , we were driving when we saw a 'red rover' of walkers.

we all got out and looked at the walkers. "rick, that's michonne's" aaron said pointing to a walker that had one of michonne's dread locks on it. "and daryl" aaron said pointing.

my head immediately shot to the direction he was pointing. carl tried to pull me back and i pushed him off me. then i got a closer look at the walker which had the arrow in it. D.D. was on the flag. that's dad's arrow.

then shots started firing at us. we started shooting back. i shot down one of the guys.

"back to the rv" rick yelled. we all ran back to the rv and abraham drove off. the next road we took led us to about 40 men lined up in a tight formation. "go back" i ordered. "where?" abraham questioned.

we slowly went backwards. we were discussing where to go next.

we drove a little ways but we were stopped by logs that were piled up. then a guy that had a rope tied around his neck was thrown off the bridge. he was struggling.

"i can probably shoot it down" aaron said raising his gun. "no. don't waist the bullet" rick said. i couldn't stand the look of it.

i buried my face into carl's shoulder. he put his hand of the back of my head to try to comfort me. then a voice said to leave. so we got back to the rv.

we then ran into a big group of saviors. it was like it was never going to stop. we decided to make a run for it and put Maggie on a stretcher since she couldn't walk.

carl and i were in the front, sasha was in the back, and the rest were carrying maggie. then we ran into the biggest group saviors.

we were blinded by several truck lights. whistles were sounding from all around us.

"give up your weapons" one of the saviors said. we refused.

i moved closer to carl and he grabbed my hand. the saviors came over to us and took our weapons forcefully. "put her down and kneel" one of them said referring to maggie.

they put Maggie down but rick and i were still standing up. "i said kneel" one of the saviors ordered then he punched me in the face.

i was knocked to the ground, and i kneeled to avoid anymore trouble. 'i'm okay' i mouthed to both rick and carl.

rick nodded and carl just kept staring at me in concern. "bring em out" a guy called. they brought michonne, glenn and rosita out from the back of a truck. then, my dad. ahen they pulled him out we immediately made eye contact.

we remained eye contact until a guy threw him into line.

then we met negan. the actual negan.

he was tall, extremely tall. he had black slicked back hair with big brown eyes. he wore a leather jacket with a red scarf, a white shirt underneath, black pants, and black boots.

and he held a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire.

negan was talking and walking around to everyone, and eventually he made it to me and carl. carl was still holding onto my hand.

"so i'm guessing your rick's boy" negan said putting lucille in front of carl's face with a smile.

rick started to fight back but was stopped. "so he is your son" negan said smiling.

"now i wonder who's this is" negan said putting lucille in front of my face. i looked up at negan with a stern look on my face.

negan then squatted down. be put two of his fingers on the bottom of my chin. "she sure is a pretty one" he said he said with a wide smile.

"don't touch her!" dad yelled. "oh! so she's yours?" negan said to my dad in surprise. "that explains why she's such a bad ass. i guess it runs in the family." negan said smiling.

"she's also ricks right hand man" dwight called out. "well, you're pretty damn important then aren't you. that's good to know...." he said saying the last part quietly to himself.

so apparently how this thing works, negan kills one of us just to get his point proven.

and this scared the absolute shit out of me, because i'm going to be loosing one of my family members today.
