The Trial Of Undying Love

What About Me?

"No, but he killed our only doctor! We need to do something to stop him and stop letting him walk all over us!"

Rick sighs, he knew she was right, but how were they going to stop him? He had thousands of men following him. "How? How do you expect us to do that Luci?"

"I don't know, I'm sure we can figure something out."

"Have you seen how many Saviors there are?! We don't have the numbers to stop them!"

Lucille sighs. "Listen, I'm not going to argue with you over how we should handle this. I just know that at some point we're gunna run out of supplies."

He sighs and his gaze drops to the floor. "We'll figure something out, you should rest."

She rolls her eyes and leans back against the cot. "Yeah." She mumbles.

"I'll let you rest then." He stands up and makes his way out of the infirmary.

A week passes and Lucille is finally able to get out of bed. She makes her way out of the infirmary, her pistol tucked in the back waistline of her jeans. She steps up to the gate to see trucks heading towards Alexandria. A smirk spreads across her lips as she spots her husband and the pair of them lock eyes as he stops in front of the gates.

Negan smirks back at her and gets out of the truck, walking up to the gate and looking at her through the bars. "Luci, what a pleasure. Looks like you've healed up."

"No thanks to you." She spits harshly, her blues holding a playful gleam as the gate opens and the only thing separating them disappears.

"Home sweet home." Negan grins as he steps through the gate, looking around Alexandria. "What have you got for me this time?"

Rick spots the Saviors through the window and makes his way outside. "Negan. I didn't know you were coming today."

"You say that too much Rick." As the words roll off his tongue, The Saviors begin making their way through Alexandria, retrieving the supplies that they had demanded. Everything was already prepared for them, but some of them went scouting for more.

A groupd of several Saviors emerge into the open area, carrying several large containers of water.

"Negan, we found water."

The dark haired male glances at them and then gives them a nod, only to receive a pleading look from his wife.

She makes her way over to him. "You can't take our water!"

He looks down at her, a smug smirk splitting across his face. "Of course I can darlin'. It's mine. Everything here belongs to Negan."

Her blues widen as she listens to his words, letting them echo through her head. "Really?" Her voice was low, full of hurt. "You're taking our water? Negan that's all we have."

"We need it." He stares down at her.

"What about me? What about your wife?" She questions, low enough so no one else could hear her.

"You'll be okay, I'll make sure of it."

"We have children here Negan! We need water."

"You can always find more. Where did you find these?" He nods towards the containers being loaded into the trucks.

"Hell if I know, I don't go on every single run they go on."

"I'll see you later Luci." With those words, he turns to walk away.

"Please don't do this Negan." Her eyes flood with tears and her hands ball up into fists as rage ignites inside of her. "Negan.." her voice breaks as his name leaves her lips.

As The Saviors leave, the gates of Alexandria close and Lucille storms off to find Rick. "We have to do something!" She snarls as she stands in front of him. "He took all of our fucking water!"

"I know." He rubs his face and sighs. "We can't survive like this."

"What if we just leave? That's the easiest solution."

"This is the only civilization we have Luci." He furrows his eyebrows.

"I-I know, but we could leave and find new supplies. How would he find us?"

He listens to her speak and sighs. "No. We're not running away like damn dogs with our tails tucked."

"You're right." She folds her arms across her chest. "So what do we do then?"

"Luci. We went through hell before you came along. We've always managed to figure it out. That won't end now."

A grin spreads across her lips, despite the tears of rage in her eyes. "That's it. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Get the hell out of this room and tell the people of Alexandria that!"

He nods and makes his way outside, leaving Lucille standing in an empty room with her arms crossed. "Oh darlin'. We're taking our shit back." A low chuckle leaves her lips as she steps outside, inhaling sharply. Something deep within her felt different.

A smirk spreads across her lips as she grabs her radio, radioing the Saviors. "Tell Negan to meet me at the bar. We've got... things to discuss."

"Who is this?"

"Luci. Oh and tell him to come alone." She switches channels and then makes her way out to a car.

"Where are you going?" One of the Alexandrians speaks up.

"I'm gunna go look for some more water." She pulls out of the gates, speeding off to go meet none other than Negan.
