Y/N POV

When I woke up, I felt nauseous. I ran to the bathroom, and began to throw up in the toilet. Negan heard me, and ran into the bathroom, and began to comfort me. 

"Did you eat something bad?"

"Not that I remember."

Negan sighed out, and shook his head. 

"Weird. It'll pass, don't worry."

When I finished, I brushed my teeth and took a brisk shower. I came out, and got dressed, in a black hoodie and blue jeans. Negan was waiting, already dressed, and held his hand out for me to take. I did, and we walked down the corridor, to get to the car that we would be taking in order to get to where we are taking our run to. When we got there, Negan glanced at me, concerned.

"Are you sure you're up to this? You were just puking your guts up."

"I'm good now, don't worry."

He nodded, and we got into the car. I sat in the back because there was a bucket full of blood, and Negan placed Lucille in it.

"You look beautiful, baby." Negan mumbled to Lucille.

 When we were driving, the car was hit off the road by no other than my father. Negan got the car under his control and made a turn into an alleyway. He pulled onto the street, giving me a gun in order to get Rick away from behind us. I stuck my head out and began shooting at his tires, but missed, as he was swerving to dodge my bullets. 

"Damn it!"

We got hit in the rear again by dad again, and then we flipped over into a parking lot. Negan shook me and got me out of the car. We heard a machine gun. Negan pushed me into a building and made me run in front of him. I went up the stairs and Negan ran right behind me. My dad's gun was out of bullets, and Negan began to laugh. 

"Hey prick. You are out of bullets. Come on up."

My dad threw an axe towards us, and I fell off of the stairs, into a dark hole. I looked up and saw Negan hanging there, with him also dropping Lucille. She didn't fall down here from what I could see so I just waited for Negan to come down here.

"Lucille! Oh you asshole."

He then fell, and landed on me. I felt a crack in my foot, as his ass hit my foot. 

"Holy shit!"

I tried to stand up, but I couldn't. Negan stood up, and grabbed my waist. He lifted me up off that foot and attempted to help me, but he couldn't do much as his arm was in a lot of pain too. 

"I'm fine, I'll walk it off. Just please get us out of here Negan."

I heard my dad come down, and light a lighter. 

"You still alive?"

"I'm a goddamn cat."

Negan looked at my pained eyes, and put his finger to his lips. I heard the slight noise of walkers, but disregarded it. Negan got back on the ground and began to look for Lucille.

"Come on baby, where are you?"

A walker then came falling down behind us, so I began to walk further ahead, with a limp. The walker stood up and Negan got up and grabbed my hand, quickly walking away.

"So, where's your people? They should be here by now. We didn't get that far."

"Oh, they're coming."

"This is where you die..and where I get my daughter back. In the dark, all alone."

"What the hell is your problem, Rick? Huh? I mean, I know you're working through some shit-- the worst kind of shit, I know-- but if you aren't the most stubborn know-it-all prick I've ever crossed dicks with... Why didn't you just let me save you, Rick?  I'm good at it. I saved everybody in the Sanctuary, the Outpost, Hilltop, Kingdom, your own daughter chose to stand by me because I knew what the hell I was doin', I saved them all. Their kids..." More walkers began to come in, and a grabbed Negan's hand, trying to tell him. "...can grow up safe. They didn't lose one after we took over. All those people were doing just fine before Rick Grimes!"

Negan picked up a metal pole and cursed at it, as it was not Lucille, and threw it at the ground, making a very loud sound. He grabbed my hand and continued to lead me through the place we were in. 

"You've not only failed your boy, and daughter, you failed your people, Rick. Kind of makes me sick just thinking about it. All that wasted potential. But, see, there is still hope for you. A one-time deal that I will make in the memory of your bad-ass son, someone that I actually respected. You get Hilltop, Kingdom, Alexandria to fall in line, and our arrangement is back in place, and you are forgiven, Rick. From me and from your daughter. I will lower my take from 50% to 25%--a lousy 25%. But you, you got to come work for me. Janitorial to start--not bad at all. Your people, they get to live like 75% kings! Now, that is an epic fuckin' Christmas-Hanukah-Kwanzaa gift all rolled up into one, considering what a thorn in my ass cheek you've all been, besides Y/n of course."

He kissed my head silently, and looked at me. But then we kept walking.

"Now, why would I trust any deal offered to me after what you did to Jadis' people?"

"The hell are you talking about?"

"The Scavengers. You killed them--all of them. A whole community just wiped out. Is that how you "save" people?"

"Son of a bitch."

"Still just me, you, and Y/n, even though plenty of your people must've seen you go. See--See, it's times like this, you realize who your true friends are. No one's coming for you, nor Y/n."

Walker thudding got louder and louder, and I began to freak out. 

"Negan, the walkers are coming, come on!"

It's okay, just breathe, I will protect you."

Negan leaned against a wall, and pulled me next to him.

"What you have...oh, that was never gonna last. Sooner or later, you were gonna meet someone like me. You can't save me or my people or even yours. You can save my daughter, but she will come back to me, I can promise you that. You can't save anyone because you don't care about anyone. You use people to bring food...to sleep with you...to protect you. The only thing you care about...is this bat. You can't even save that. I'll make you a deal. I'll let you kiss her goodbye."

"Don't you touch her!"

Negan ran, pushing me off of him. I ran behind him, but I couldn't keep up because of my foot. When I turned the corner, Negan was pushing my dad into a wooden doorway, and I ran in behind them. They both fell, but my dad grabbed Lucille and hit Negan in the arm with it. I ran over to Negan's aide, and stared at my dad, but a walker was behind him so I looked quickly for a way out of this situation. The walker that was by my dad was set on fire.

"Get your hands off her."

More walkers were catching on fire, and my dad tried to grab me and put me behind him. I evaded his hands, and was by Negan. Negan and I went to the other side and walkers surrounded us. I felt in my pocket and there was no weapon there.

"Goddamn psychopath. You're gonna kill all three of us."

"Long as it's you first."

My dad then yelled, "Ahh!".

Negan charged at my dad, and I was stuck in the room with all the walkers, and yet, I tried my hardest to get to where Negan was. Negan picked up Lucille, who was on the ground, and made a path for us to get out. I stood on the window ceil and Negan hit it, and pushed my dad away, and then hit it again, shattering the glass. I was the first to get out of there, and Negan was right on my ass. He gave me a boost to get out and then I helped him out. We ran to behind the building, and took a breath. He looked at my foot and saw that it was swollen, and helped me walk to a brush. 

"You okay? Any bites?"

"None, you?"

"Same. That," Breath, "Was," Breath, "Unexpected."

"Yes it was."

I went to hug Negan, but then, I felt an immediate pain to the back of my head. I fell to the ground and began to pass out. Negan then fell to the ground too, and grabbed my hand before we both passed out.
