-Family doesn't always mean blood-

Aurelia POV

Eugene had a smart idea. We take Maggie on foot since they're expecting us in the rv. Eugene would take the rv, making them think we're all in it when we really weren't.What sucks, was that Eugene couldn't work on the collier. We made Maggie a bed, where she laid in it. Rick and Abraham carried Maggie, and we all walked besides her. Keeping a eye out for anything. It was dark out, making it harder to see. There was a walker, but Carl took care of it. I stayed in the back with Sasha. As we were walking, we heard whistling, which meant the saviors.

"Go, Go!" Rick told us, and we began to walk fast. Trying our best to not go in the direction of th saviors. We kept running through the woods, trying to escape the saviors. We seemed to head into a clearing, but we stopped to bright lights shining in our faces. Saviors. And they all kept whistling. There was too many of them to fight. We'd all die if we tried to. I soon noticed Eugene, who looked scared. He was on his knees, covered in a little dirt.

"Good"A familiar voice said,"You made it. Welcome to where you're going. "Simon said, opening his arms out. His voice and face made my blood boil. I never wanted to see him again.

"We'll take your weapons,now" Simon said, pointing a gun at us.

"We can talk about-" Rick started.

"We're done talking" Simon said, interrupting him," Time to listen" he said, taking Carl's gun. A few saviors walked up to me, taking my gun and knife from me. They laughed a little when they saw me in the collier.

"Thats yours, right?" Simon asked, "Yeah, its yours" he said, flicking Carls hat a little.

"Okay. Lets get her down and get you all in your knees. Lots to cover" Simon said as a few saviors walked up to Maggie.

"Hold up, we got it" I said, making myself clear. Simon looked at me, looking a little surprised to see me.

"Sure, sure" Simon said. I turned towards Maggie, helping Rick and Abraham bring her down. Rick and Abraham picked her up and helped her walk a few steps. They then set her down as Simon brought Eugene. I walked over to Eugene, hoping that he'd get the collier off of me already.

"Gonna need you on your knees" Simon told Rick. And everyone else got on their knees.

"Dwight" Simon called and Dwight appeared.

"Yeah" Dwight said.

"Chop chop" Simon told him. I leaned over to Eugene.

"Get this off" I told him.Eugene nervously nodded, and began working on it some more. I watched as Dwight went to truck and opened the back door.

"Come on, you got people to meet" Dwight said, pulling a few people out. I watched as Daryl, Michonne, Rosita, and Glenn come out. Daryl met my eyes, giving me a small nod. They all got pushed to their knees beside us. Where we were all in a form of a cresent. Simon saw Eugene working on my collier, and he laughed.

"he'll never be able to get it off, but hey, he's welcome to try" Simon told me, a laugh escaping through his lips.

"Alright, we got a full boat.Lets meet the man" Simon said, knocking on the rv door. I pulled my hair over my face, lowering my head down a little. Covering my face. The door opened, and Negan stepped out.

"We pissin our pants yet?" Negan asked, walking closer to us. "Boy, do I have a feeling we're getting close"

Negan walked around in front of us, looking at us, but he couldn't see me very well. "Yep. It's gonna be pee-pee pants city here real soon. Which one of you pricks is the leader?" He asked us.

"It's this one" Simon told him, pointing to Rick. Eugene kept working on the collier, shaking as he does. He was barely shocking me, hopefully he's almost done. "He's the guy" Simon told Negan.

Negan sighed, turning to face Rick. He then walked up to Rick, a smile on his face. "Hi. You're Rick, right? I'm Negan. 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" Negan told Rick, pointing at him. "Not cool. Not cool. You have no idea how not cool that shit is. But i think you're gonna be up to speed shortly"

"yeah" Negan said, nodding."You're 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, it's really very simple. So even if you're stupid, which you very well may be, you can understand it. You ready? Here goes, Pay attention" Negan told him. Eugene shocked me again, causing me to groan quietly. He doesn't have the collier off yet, but I need him to take it off.

Negan put lucille down to his side, and then brought it to Rick's neck. It is a baseball bat with barbed wire around it. " give me your shit, or I will kill you" Negan said, smiling. "Today was career day. We invested a lot so you would know who I am and what I can do, and I'm not gonna lie, my sister was a lot more powerful than me,but something happened to her"

" You work for me now. You have shit, you give it to me. Thats your job. Now, I know that is a might big , nasty pill to swallow, but swallow it you must certainly will. You ruled the roost. You built something. You thought you were safe. I get it, but the word is out. You are not safe. Not even close. In fact, you are pegged , more pegged if you dont do what I want, and what I want, is half your shit. And if thats too much, you can make, find, or steal some more, and it'll even out sooner or later" Negan told us.

"This is your way of life now. The more you fight back, the harder it'll be. So if someone knocks on your door you let us in" Negan said, walking around. "We own that door. You try to stop us, we will knock it down" Negan said, walking back to Rick. "You understand?" Negan asked. He then cupped his ear, bending down a little,"What? No answer? You don't really think that you were gonna get through this without being punished now, did you?" Negan asked Rick, backing up a few steps.

"I don't want to kill you people. Just want to make that clear from the get-go. I want you to work for me. You can't do that if your dead , now, can you? I'm not growing a garden. But you killed my people, a whole damn lot of them. More than I'm comfortable with. And for that, for that you're gonna pay. So now, I'm gonna beat the holy hell outta one of you. " He then swinged Lucille in his hand.

"This, this is Lucille and she is awesome. All this, all this is just so we can pick out which one of you gets the honor" Negan said, walking around. He stopped in front of Abraham, who sat tall and not afraid. "Huh, I gotta shave this shit" Negan said, rubbing his beard.

Negan then walked over to Carl an crouched down infront of him"You got one of our guns. Whoa, yeah. You got a lot of our guns. Shit kid, lighten up. At least cry a little" Negan told Carl. He then chuckled and stood back up. He looked over my way, seeing Eugene still working on the collier. He took a step forward, trying to get a better look. I knew that I was caught, nothing will change about that.

"Wait. Hold up, is that my sister? Aurelia, is that you?" Negan asked, causing me to close my eyes as he walked over to me. He took his finger, lifting my chin up. I opened my eyes, looking into my brothers eyes.

"Holy shit it is my sister!" Negan exclaimed, causing Rick to give me a confused look. No one knew that we were siblings.

"Sister?" Rick asked me, his face full of emotion. Negan made a 'o' shape with his mouth as he turned and faced Rick. Realization hitting Negan.

"You didn't know? Well shit, how many more things did you keep from him, little sister?" Negan asked me.

"Don't. Call. Me. That." I growled at him. Negan laughed as he crouched down in front of me.

"Come on, what happened between us? We were so close until you left. Why'd you leave?" Negan asked me. I scoffed, as if. He knows why I left, he is just playing stupid. Like how I was with Rick. Lying about my collier. Hell, if only he knew.
