The Ruins Part 2 (Sequel to The Ruins)

Chapter 26

"It'll be fine."

Sarah shakes her head, not comprehending on what Dwayne ordered her to do. It's murder, she can't accept this. "B-But-"

"Listen to me hun, since she's been here she won't be accepted as a Savior after. Negan's basically has her held prisoner up in that room." He doesn't know the truth; sometimes he seen Mal going to his room, laughing like he isn't an monster. He needed Sarah to be tricked and do the unspeakable.

She whimpers. "Dw- I- what you're asking me to do... what's Negan going to do when he finds out?"

He throws his arms in the air. "Exactly. You were his favorite way back then, don't you remember the pain you went through? What he did to you? What he said was your job to go through because you were his favorite?"

Her shoulder tremble. "Well, now Negan has a new favorite." Her eyes go wide, she starts to cry. Dwayne smiles, lifting her chin so that he could see her face better. "Baby, you and I both know what's going to happen to that girl, the second Negan decides that kid is his to do whatever he wants with, you know what kinda pain she's going to go through once Negan realizes we're gone, it's-"

Making her way into the storage area Sarah's breath catches in her throat, inward she curses Dwayne. The events that took place only a few moments ago, now feel like it's been an eternity.

"Why do I have to be the one to do this? Why can't you!?"

Dwayne sighs, grabbing the women by the forearms, gaining her full attention. "Because I'm already on thin ice for being a suspect!" The blonde man offers his ex a small smile before placing a kiss on her forehead, "It'll be quick, just go in grab it and come out, it'll be easy."

She rolls her eyes very annoyed. "It'll be easy. Easy my fucking ass." She mocks Dwayne, rolling her eyes at the man's poor choice of words, while doing so, her foot catches on a discarded box of tissues that had fallen from a higher shelf, she falls landing with the grace of a chicken attempting to fly off a steep cliff.

She groans, tasting copper, a warm scarlet drop falls down her chin, "Shit my fucking lip." Sherry's legs buckle under her attempting to stand up, thankfully nothing had been broken. Dwayne who had heard the crash does nothing to help, he merely stays at his post "guarding" the storage unit. She glances over her shoulder a couple of times before letting out a sigh of relief, she skims the shelves finding what she's looking for. Taking the box from the shelf, being careful not to allow any of its contents touch her skin.

"I got it!" Sarah's sudden voice causes Dwayne to jump.

"Don't just sneak up on me like that!" He sighs, "I told you to knock before you came out in case someone was passing by, what if you had been seen!?" She flinches, she hated it when Dwayne yelled at her. It's a reason their relationship hasn't lasted long, Negan never yells at her but she rather go.

Shaking his head, Dwayne sighs again. "Did ya get it?" She smiles patting the tube shaped profile lining her jacket pocket.

"Got it right here D." He smirks.

"Perfect, now comes the hard part."

-:-:-:-:-

Her eyes shot open, flinching slightly under the bright morning sun that radiated heat through the small window. It was weird, there was no panic, no gasping breaths, no thudding heart that almost hurt. Just a delightful ache that accompanied a good night of sleep, a soft puff of air against the back of her neck that didn't make her skin crawl. A burst of joyous laughter escaped her, unable to help the outburst with all the happiness bubbling through her.

"Mmm, w-what's with all the noise?" Negan's sleep-filled voice drawled in her ear.

Mal turned, looking at the sleepy face next to hers, she'd call it adorable but she really didn't wanna get her ass kicked. "I'm ok!"
