Taken by the Saviors alongside Daryl, Reader makes a promise to get them out of there, no matter the cost. She promises herself that she's killing Negan on the way out too. When Negan offers Daryl a position as a Savior and Daryl refuses, she volunteers to take his place. Being that close to the inner circle of the Sanctuary isn't an opportunity she can pass up. Negan agrees, believing that having the golden girl of Alexandria fighting with him is exactly what they need to realize who's in charge now. He drags her around, his personal soldier. Every visit to Alexandria, pick-up, and punishment. He'll never see her as more than a pawn, something he stole from Rick She's useless to Alexandria from here, only ever a few paces behind him, waiting for his next order. She hates it, sick with the guilt of pointing a gun at her friends and family. She wants nothing more than to turn her weapon on Negan, take Daryl, and run but she hasn't seen him in days. Isn't even sure he's still alive or in the Sanctuary, can only hope he's escaped. So she bides her time and waits. Then she sees it, a tiny chink in the armor he'd so carefully created. It's in his posture as he walks through the Sanctuary, in the tone he uses when speaking to his wives, and grin on his face when they fall into him. It's in his eyes when she says the word family. Negan is lonely. He has nothing but the community he's built off the backs of others. He's alone. She decides she'll become the one thing he thinks he has. She'll get close and she'll take him down, from the inside. Her plan comes to a halt when she feels it, that tiny flicker of empathy that sends her pushing him back to arm's length. The last thing she needs is to let him get too close and compromise her mission. But the feeling was persistent, wriggling its way into their every interaction and then she realized, she cared about him. And caring about the monster, Negan Smith? That was a fate worse than death.

Story starts right after the incident at Hershel's barn but does not follow the story line of the show after that. The main character is a young woman named Nora who at first has developed feelings for Glenn after he was the one who helped get her out of the city. When she realizes she's held on to her feelings too long, she quickly starts to feel lost. Nora is somewhat of a trouble magnet but most of all she just wants to find her place in this new world. Along the way, she finds comfort in an unlikely person. (I do not own the original art for the cover) {I started this story back in December 2011 on Tumblr and although it didn't get the fan following that I had always hoped for, it did well in it's own way. It had loyal followers and I got comments on how much readers loved it. I thought I would try posting it on Wattpad to see what becomes of it. The story is completed on Tumblr and as I bring it over here, I'm also doing small rewrites to the story. There are scenes that I needed to cut out and change up just because my view of things has changed as well and I wanted this story to reflect that. I really hope it finds the same love as it did on Tumblr and if you're interested in reading the original version you can go here:https://newinadeadworld.tumblr.com}
