"You guys" I said, catching my breath "Its y/n, and Maggie. They're in trouble. We have to go"

y/n's pov

"Why? Is her boyfriend gonna do something about it? Well guess what, he's not here, is he?" he asked

"He may not be here in this moment, but when he does get here, you're gonna wish you hadn't done that"

"Done what? This?" he asked, kicking you in the side. You tried to move, but the ropes around your wrists squeezed tightly, causing you more pain "You little bitch" he said, punching you across the face

"Y-you don't have to do this. W-we can talk it out" you said, talking through the sharp pain on the left side of your face "We can fix this" you felt yourself get dizzy

"This is not fixable!" he screamed, hitting you again "No one can fix this war! What don't you get about that?!" he continued to scream, and hit you

"We'll stop here. They'll here us if we don't" Jesus said, parking the car

"What's the plan?" Rosita asked

"Jesus said that's their car" dad said "So, we'll be real quiet in the woods. We'll surround them. On your call, we step out, scare em a little. Then we do whatever you want with em, Carl"

"On my call?" I asked "Why?"

"Because its your girl" Tara smirked "And its Maggie" she giggled

"Okay. Let's go" I said, getting out of the car

"So, what're we gonna do with them?" Liam asked as he sat by the fire he had built a few moments ago

"We're gonna take them back to Negan. Then he'll do what he does"

"And what does he do?" you heard someone from the woods say. you knew that voice. Carl.

"Shit" liam hissed, standing up

"Drop your weapons" he said 

"Or what?" the guy who beat you said. One of the men dropped. You looked at him to see a bullet wound in his forehead

"Or that'll be you"

"Drop em, boys" the guy said to his men

"Good, now put your hands up" Carl said, stepping out of the trees, the others he brought stepping out around all of you. Tara cut your ropes, and Jesus cut Maggie's. Though you were quite dizzy, you instantly stood up and ran into Carl's loving embrace. 

"What did they do to you?" he asked, putting his hand on the small  of your back

"That one is the one who did this to my face" you pointing "And that one" you said, pointing to Liam "he used to be my stepdad." Carl's eyes lit up. You could see the rage on his face.

"Tie them up. We're gonna be here a while" 

     Rick and Jesus tied the four of them up and sat them in a straight line

"What do you wanna do with em?" Rick asked Carl

"Y/n?"

"Kill those two. Make it quick. They didn't touch me or Maggie" you said pointing to the two that were unfamiliar to you. Sasha shot them with her silenced gun.

"You don't have to do this. We can talk about it. We can work it out" the guy that beat you said 

"Remember when I said that and you just kept hitting me? Remember? This war can't be fixed"

"How many times did he hit you?" Carl asked

"I wasn't counting"

"One time is enough for me to beat the undying shit out of you" Carl said, punching him in the jaw "And you" he said looking at Liam "What the hell is wrong with you?!" he half shouted "Raping an eight year old girl four times? My girlfriend? You don't deserve to be alive" Carl said kicking him "and soon, you won't be"

"please" Liam begged "Please don't do this"

"Don't beg. That makes things worse" Carl sneered

trigger warning

"remember, y/n? Remember how you begged me to stop?"

"Shut up" you said 

"You cried for help, and it never came"

"Shut the hell up!" you screamed, slapping him

"Those cries, they just turned me on even more. Each and every whimper. I loved it" you felt your face get hot. It felt as if someone had an iron pressed to your cheeks. Unable to react, you grabbed the knife from the back of your jeans and plunged it into his chest a countless amount of times

"Shut up! Shut up!" you repeated as you raised your hand, clenching the knife, and hurled it into his soon breathless body "Shut up" you whispered, realizing what you had done. His blood covered your hands. You turned to face Carl. His brows furrowed, his mouth gaping. "Carl, what did I do?" you whispered, barely audible

"It's okay, baby. It's okay" he said, pulling you into a warm hug. You squeezed him, but without your hands as you were covered in blood. You began to tremble, and uncontrollably sweat. Carl hushed you, and rubbed your hair, attempting to comfort you "Cut off the living one's hands" Carl said

"Why?" you asked, pulling away

"He hit you with his hands, so he doesn't need them anymore" he said, seriously. You felt the corners of your lips lift, forming a small smile

"I love you, Carl Grimes"

"I love you too, y/n y/l/n" You stared into Carl's icy blue eye. Ignoring the screams coming from behind you. Time had passed, yet you barely noticed. You had your  Carl back. Nothing else mattered.

"Now what?" Rick asked, knocking you out of your gaze

"Blindfold him, take him far away. Then let him go" Carl said

"Rosita, Tara, and I will do it" Aron said "You guys need to get back to Alexandria. Especially you two" he added, implying to you and Maggie

"Make sure he survives" you said

"Will do. We'll be back by dark tomorrow" Aron said

"We'll take their car. You guys take the one from Alexandria" Tara said

"Let's get a move on" Rick said. You grabbed your screwdriver from the guys belt before Rosita and Tara dragged him away

"Be careful" you reminded them, still glued to Carl's hip. 

     You don't think you're gonna leave that anytime soon.
