We're all gathered in a circle, forced on our knees. I look over and see Rick next to me. I then look down the line of us, my eyes frantically looking for Daryl. My eyes find him and almost cry as I look at his weak state, he's got blood everywhere and the bullet wound on his shoulder is bleeding down his chest, we lock eyes for a split second before we hear the terrorizing whistle followed by a very proud looking Negan appearing out from in between two cars. Everyone is crying and looking around, we've been through so much today alone and I got a feeling it's about to get a hundred times worse. This never goes smoothly.
"Where is my daughter?" I question Negan, he spins around to me pointing his bat in my face, waving it around like a death threat. "Did I tell you to speak?" he yells. I just stare at him, my face completely and utterly emotionless.

Negan turns back around and my eyes begin to water, he then begins his speech about how ungrateful we are and how much more we should appreciate him and the things he does for us. He continues by saying that we have to learn our place and that our actions have to have consequences. My head is spinning, my wounds are bleeding, it's freezing out and I have a terrible, horrible gut wrenching feeling that something mortifying is about to happen.
Negan walks around the circle, taunting us with his words. He then says someone has to be held accountable for what we do and it's at that moment I knew someone was going to die. "I've got an idea" he says before starting a game of "eenie meenie miny mo." He lands on Abraham.
     Abraham flips him off before receiving a blow to the head by Negan's bat. He then wobbles back to his knees. I hear Sasha screaming and it's taking every ounce of energy within me not to get up and kill him right now. "Look at him, taking it like a champ" Negan jokes before hitting Abraham with the bat again. Abraham falls to the ground, his body twitching as it starts to die. Negan hits him once more before turning to walk away. Sasha throws up and starts to sob uncontrollably. Tears are falling from my eyes as well, I can't hold them back anymore.
   Suddenly Daryl jumps up off the ground and punches Negan in the face. I watch in fear as two man tackle him, and pin him to the ground. Negan punches Daryl twice before grabbing him by his hair and snapping his head back. Dwight aims Daryl's bow at his face and threatens to kill him, "No!" I scream out and jump up before trying to run towards them. I'm quickly slammed to the ground by two more of Negan's men. One of them putting me in a chokehold, my fingers pry at his skin desperately trying to get him off me. He pushes my head to the ground and puts his knee into the back of my neck. I have no choice but to stop fighting. Daryl stares at me and I stare back. Negan walks back over towards Rick, " See now this is exactly what I was talking about. You guys don't ever fucking listen" he says wiping his lip and walking back towards Daryl. " Just remember, I did warn you and now I have to do this" he says before quickly spinning around and slamming his bat into Glen's head causing him to slump back further unto his knees.
     My eyes open wide in shock at the horror scene in front of me. Glen just sits there staring at the ground, his eye is falling out of its socket and he's gushing blood. I lock eyes with him for just a second before he starts gargling, clearly choking in his own blood. He tries to talk, "What brother? It looks to me like you're trying to say something. Which I don't know how your even doing so. You just took one hell of a hit. I just hit you so hard your eyeball popped out" Negan mocks him. "Maggie, I'll find you" Glen chokes out.

Flashes of that night replay in my head, over and over again. I can't stop thinking about how much I wanted to kill him, how much I wanted to watch him slowly and painfully die. I want to watch the life leave his eyes, just like he made us watch as he killed Abraham and Glen.
