Chapter 1
"Eeny..."
My heart pounded almost clean out of my chest with every step he took. He was tall, he towerd over us with a menicing smirk on his face.
"Meany..."
I looked over to see Merle on his knees next to me, his and daryl both looked like wild animals ready to attack and it scared me.
I glanced up to see he was slowly stepping closer to me, my best option was to just look at the ground and i was so wrong.
"Miney..."
His footsteps stopped and i could see his shadow lingering in front of me, my eyes filled with stinging tears the longer he stayed.
I watched as a single tear fell to the ground, my heart stopped as he shifted his weight.
"Now now..." He growled with a scoff. "Who said it was okay for you to cry yet?... I haven't even started!"
I wanted to wretch as i swallowed the bile in my throat. "Whats the name?" He asked... It wasn't a question, it was a demand and i couldn't bring myself to answer it.
I flinched as he swiftly reached down and snapped in front of my face. "You who! You still here honey! Answer my damn question!" He yelled in a stern tone.
I tried, but i couldn't bring my vocal chords to make words, all that came out was something that didn't sound human, as more tears fell i could hear Merle's breathing speed up. Thats when i felt his hand come in front of my face and lift up my hair that was hiding my face, i didn't look up.
"Dont fucking touch her!" Merle yelled pulling on his restraints. My hair was quickly let go and Negan moved over to Merle pointing the bat wrapped in barbed wire at his face.
"Now that...that is not acceptable!" Merle glared up at the man with rage. "If any of you try that shit again ill have to pick more than one!"
I looked at the two men out of the corner of my eye, Negan got in Merles face, eye level with him "and I will touch her if i fucking want to..." I heard him say in a low growl that sent shivers down my spine.
At that moment all i wanted was to be at home, back at SafeZone with Tess and Merle and the rest of the group.
The next thing i knew Negans hand was in my hair as he jerked my head up, i kept my eyes on the ground not able to look him in the face. "Name!" He demanded leting my hair go and moving the fallen stray hairs out of my face.
"Her name is Sam..." Said Rick, clearly distraught.
Negan didn't take his eyes off me "I didn't ask you!" He yelled making me flinch.
"Now... For the last damn time! Whats...your...name?" He slowly kneeled down to get eye level with me.
"S-sam..." My voice was barely over a whisper.
He reached out and placed his gloved hand under my chin, not forcing me this time. "Hell! At least look at me!" He let out a laugh, he was just so charismatic...he had charm ill give him that.
I did as he commanded and looked into his empty brown eyes, as he smirked at me.
"Damn darlin!" He shouted.
'Darlin?'
"You really are scared arent you!" Tears filled my eyes knowing he was right "now dont cry! The best part hasn't even happened yet..." He said as he forcefully wiped a tear with his thumb. Glancing at Merle with a smirk.
he walked away from me but my eyes were clued, like i was in a trance. He was marvelous but a damn monster at the same time.
"catch...a tiger..." He continued with his game as i watched him, he would occasionally look at me forcing me to look away.
He stepped back my way again pointing the bat at each one of us...my family.
He pointed at Maggie who was on my left "By..."
I closed my eyes not wanting to look at him.
"its toe..." I looked up to see him pointing at Merle instead...he had skipped me! Thats when i caught him looking at me, he gave me that evil smirk of his and winked...i looked around and it felt like i was the only one that saw it because no one moved a muscle.
It felt like things sped up then because the words that stuck in my head were "and you...are...it..."
Glenn...
Maggie let out a cry, along with so many others.
Negan said a few words that i couldn't hear then the bat came down, the sound of it hitting his skull will never leave my mind, the screaming, the crying...
After it was all over Negan stood there proud, examining Lucille...his bat. I sobbed as i looked over at Merle who was looking at the ground.
"M-m..." I couldn't even get his name out, but he knew...he always knew when i needed him. I let out a loud sob as he looked up at me. Negan saw this interaction and stepped up to us shaking his head and laughing.
"none of that! Get up!" He gave me no time at all to even do as he asked before he grabbed my arm and jerked me up, dragging me infont of the group... I was no longer the strong girl they new as they saw me sobbing. My knees went out as i fell to the ground, i couldn't force my self to stand. I wiped my tears and sweat with my hand, smearing dirt all over my face. Thats when Negan picked me up holding me to his chest.
"Dont mess up that pretty face of yours!" He grabbed my jaw forcefully and wiped the dirt off my face.
"Now your gonna be a good girl and go get in the RV!" He said.
"And if you any of you want her alive you wont try anything stupid!" He looked at me and grinned then looked at Merle "better kiss you little Dixon goodbye because your all mine now! And i dont share!" He said.
No one said a word...they just let it happen as he made me get in the RV.
