Finally, all the secrets of the Sanctuary would be revealed and Molly would now be forced to come face to face with the 'true' nature of Negan.

Three weeks later...

It had been weeks since I saw him.

I walked around the Sanctuary for a while, trying to keep some distance between Negan and I.

I couldn't let him touch me let alone talk to me.

I felt like I could cry every time that I saw him because of how much pain I was putting him through.

He must of thought that I no longer loved him.

I needed to talk to someone and the only person who knew was Sherry.

I walked over to the old wives compound, the room where they used wait for Negan was now more of a communal area for them.

As soon as I opened the doors, the ex-wives looked at me with scepticism and wonder.

Sherry seeing me, rushed over and asked me to come with her so we were out of earshot.

'Come in here' she said quietly, ushering me into the old closet room which was now just storage.

It was like she was in two places at once, her mind clearly somewhere else.

'What is it?' I asked.

'You need to get out of this place. You need to leave Negan behind and go, because I can't watch you get hurt. I just can't' she said, her voice shaking on every word.

My eyes started to well up, knowing that she had kept something from me and it involved Negan.

'Sherry...tell me. Now' I said sternly and breathing heavily.

She wiped her eyes and took a deep shaky breath.

'Negan killed your friends. Glenn and Abraham' she said, through her tears.

Her words seemed to fade away like I was hearing them under water.

'I should have told you when I knew. God, I am so sorry Molly' she said crying.

I was dazed, paralysed by these words.

'H-How do you know?' I said now looking up at her.

She sighed, 'a few months ago, Negan went to Alexandria and his men boasted of him killing two of Rick's people. Dwight told me their names' she said quietly.
