"You took one of our guns" he walks over to carl and I raise my head time to face the music "you took alot of our guns" dwight stands behind me and when dad's eyes find mine he start to chuckle "well look what the cat dragged in" he does his head to dwight and he grabs me from behind I fight against dwight and I grunt at negan "you better call him off before I snap his neck like a twig".

Negan laughs and he says "let her stand dwight" he lets me go and he grabs my arm and pulls me against his chest I try to fight but he holds me against his collar bone and he says "I bet your gonna like this phoenix bring em out" dwight brings out daryl,glenn,michonne and rosita when glenn comes out he looks at his wife and he whimpers "maggie?" I look at daryl and he grunts "you best let er go".

Negan smirks at him evilly "you think she's my captive? i'd like everyone to know this is ember lucky also known as the phoenix and my daughter" I feel tears rolling down my cheeks and I grunt "your not my father put me down" he grabs my hair and pulls it back and he whispers in my ear "stop squirming" I stop moving and he pushes me to the ground right beside his legs I can't look at everyone I look and see rick has a betrayed look in his eyes and so does maggie I feel more tears soaking my cheeks.

I see daryl glaring at me and dad egg's on of course "I bet ya'll feel betrayed I know I do to think you actually went with these people phoenix is outrageous" I glare up at him and he grabs my arm and pulls me back up and he makes me face him and when I look over his shoulder I see my sister standing by eugene with her arms crossed and she shakes her head at me I see she's spitting image of my dad brown eyes long curly brown hair and a leather jacket that's my sister 'lucy'.

I see daryl glaring at me and dad egg's on of course "I bet ya'll feel betrayed I know I do to think you actually went with these people phoenix is outrageous" I glare up at him and he grabs my arm and pulls me back up and he makes me face him and...

"You just gave me an idea phoenix lucille come get your sister" she walks over to me and holds me just like dad had and he turns to look at us and lucy towered over me she got dad's height even though I was older "you get to pick who meet's" he holds up the barbed wire baseball bat "lucille" I shake my head and start to cry and he walks over to me "either you pick one or I do it for you".

I start to cry in my sister's arms and he stands back and looks at me and gives me a look that says to pick I nodd and I whimper "let me go please" he nodds at my sister and I look at everyone and meet they're eyes and I walk over to my dad slowly and he grows impatient "bring em up then" I get down in front of my dad and bow my head and he stands back "what the fuck are you doing phoenix?".

I feel tears roll down my cheeks and I grunt "i'm on my knee's this is how you do it right? you make them get on there knee's and then you beat them to death well you said pick one of em dad" I spat back at him and I growl at him "I am one of them I have been for a while now they are my family" he gets down at eye level with me and he says "there your family huh? so this is who you pick? over your sister and your blood dad?".

I glare at him and I spat "blood doesn't make you family" he chuckles and I grunt "they say blood is thicker then water but I remember when water was there when blood wasn't" he starts to laugh and he grabs my hair and pulls me closer "this may by your pick daughter but it's not mine" I feel my stomach drop and he takes me over to my sister and I keep fighting her and I scream "NO NO YOU ASKED ME WHO I PICK WELL I PICK MYSELF" he starts playing his game of eeny meeny and I close my eyes and I block out my dad's words and when I open my eyes I see my dad bring the barbed wire laced bat down onto abraham's head.

It was like a bomb went off into my ear and I knew then and there that we would never come back from this I whimper in my sister's hold and I hear everyone screaming and mourning our ginger haired family member I keep fighting my sister's hold and I scream "no abraham".

I hear my dad scream at rosita and daryl jumps up and punches negan in the face and rick and I scream "daryl no" the saviors tackles him to the ground and dwight points his crossbow into his face as they hold him and dwight grunts "want me to do it?" I whimper and scream "don't touch him scarface" he darts his glare towards me better the attention be on me and not him and lucy grabs my hair and she growls in my ear "shut up or daryl meets lucille".

I growl and negan stands by glenn to close to my liking after they put daryl back in line and I draw back and elbow lucy into her gut and then I roundhouse kick her and knock her off her feet and I walk towards her and grab her long brown hair and I grab her gun from her holster and aim it at her head and I hit the back of her knees so she's on her knees in front of me like everyone else I look at my dad and I say sadistically "looky here father looks like your little princess".

He narrows his eyes at me I tighten my hand around her hair as she fights against me and he growls "what do you want? me to spare them?" I bite my lower lip and I growl "they go free and i'll make you a deal they go free and i'll stay but only if you let them go and you do not kill another person".

I hear maggie whimper "ember don't you sacrifice yourself for us your our family" I look at her and my eyes sadden "i'm sorry maggie this is the only way" glenn shakes his head at me and negan looks down at lucy and he says "how long do I have to keep stalling?" lucy grabs the gun and disarms it and grabs my knife and stabs me in the side I scream and I kick the knife out of her hand and keep fighting her she pins my arms above my head I growl and she grabs my red hair and she grunts "jesus dad if she's gonna keep being a bitch then make her sit with her family".

She drags me by glenn and he catches me and holds me as he applies pressure to my wound and maggie grabs my hand and runs her hand through my hair and she whispers "it's okay" I feel my eyes starting to get hazy and glenn says "ember keep your eyes open don't close your eyes on us come on sis" I keep blinking my eyes and I hear daryl screaming "red don't close yer eyes".

"Sorry Blue".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I finally come too I see i'm in an all to familiar place 'The Sanctuary' I try to raise up and I feel a pain in my side I whimper and raise my black shirt and see a white bandage on my side where my sister stabbed me I see a i.v pole right beside me and I reconize i'm in my old room I easily raise up and lean against the headboard and I hear my door open I look up and see it's my dad and simon.

Simon sends me a sad smile and he walks over to me and rubs my hair "hey princess how are you feeling?" I raise a eyebrow at him "like i've been stabbed" simon can be a asshole when he wants to be but he has never been a asshole to me or my sister my dad chuckles and I say "so did you hold up your end of the deal? you didn't kill anybody else?".

He smirks at me "no I didn't hurt anybody else ember I am going to ask you something and you better not lie to me if you do dwight has my word to go into daryl's cell and cut off any body part he chooses" he leans his elbows on my bed I feel my stomach turn over and he growls "did you sleep with anybody while you were there?".

Daryl.

I bite the inside of my cheek and I shake my head he grunts and takes a deep breath and he holds up his index finger "thats one" confusion hits me like a freight train and I ask "one what?" he leans away and gets up from the chair and looks out the window "two more strikes and your out now i'm gonna ask you again did you sleep with anybody at Alexandria?".

I sniffle "dad I didn't I swear" he glowers at me and he crosses his arms "last chance ember did.you.fuck.anybody.at.alexandria?" I close my eyes and I bring my knees closer to my chest and I sniffle and nodd my side burning like crazy and I sniffle "what gave it away?" negan scoffs and walks towards my bed and he slings something on my bed.

"I don't know ember maybe this did" I look up from my knees and see a picture of a sonogram I feel tears rolling down my cheeks I grab it and see a tiny little bean in the picture I gasp and he asks "who's the father?" I sniffle and look down and I whimper "he doesn't matter" I look up and meet simon's eyes he is just leaning against my wall negan sits beside me and he says "why?" I bite my lower lip and I lie right through my teeth "because he's dead".

Negan sighs with relief and kisses me on the forehead and he says "are you hungry?" I nodd and I sniffle he rubs my back and he says "come on lets go get some food in you and lucy wants to join us everyone else has already went to bed" as he opens my door I feel a sense of dread about seeing my sister again I just hope it doesn't end with me shoving a knife into her throat.
