Why did this all have to happen? I knew we shouldn't have agreed to kill a group's leader. Know look at us, almost everyone from Alexandria is here in a lineup, everyone who were trying to take Maggie to Hilltop to get some help (Me, Rick, Carl, Abraham, Sasha, Aaron and Eugene) and also the others who were kidnapped by The Saviors (Daryl, Rosita, Michonne and Glenn).
There is no way we could get out due to a hell of a lot of them surround us, way more than us twelve of us, we couldn't even kill them as all of our weapons are either in the RV where the man is said to be in or has been taking by the Saviors and are using them against us.
I look over to my left to Abraham looking as strong as ever, no fear on his face I knew he wasn't afraid of him and properly knew one of us are going to die and by the way he kneeling, he's going to take it without any protest.
On the right of me, is Michonne still looking strong but I could see her fear. I've never seen her look like this, even though she tried her hardest to hide the fear, I know it's there. She's a bit like Abe, she will be whiling to be killed to protect this group. Everyone would, including me.
I would do everything to protect the group, almost every week I go out of my way, risking my life to help everyone in Alexandria to survive and I will always do it and I will do anything to protect them but this evening isn't going to go my way, there is NO way I can help any of them.
"All right! We got a full boat... let's meet the man," The man who dragged us all down to our knees says as he approaches our RV door and knocking the door twice before strolling away back into the extremely large group surrounding us.
I take a deep breath as the RV swings open, revealing an aged man properly in his late forties but still in great shape, the man is wearing a very nice looking leather Jacket and a small red scarf which is tucked neatly into his jacket. His dark hair stuck back, making him look very neat.
The leader of the group slowly moves away from the RV, revealing his weapon which is laying on his shoulder, he holds a smirk on his face as he asks us all. "Pissin' our pants yet?" He strolls away from the RV, revealing more of himself as he comes into the lights of the cars and the shine of the moon.
"Boy. Do I have a feeling we're getting close"
Everyone a part of the lineup watches as the smirking man wanders over to where a beaten Eugene is kneeling before walking down the line looking down at everyone. "Yeah... Gonna be pee, pee pants here real soon."
"Which one of you pricks is the leader?" He asks in a gentle voice as he points to a few of us. Suddenly the man who basically introduced us to the man butts in and points to my older brother, Rick Grimes.
The man with the bat stops walking so he's now standing a distance away from Maggie and Abe, I watch as he smirks down at Rick before Introducing himself as the man I've heard a lot about from the others. Negan.
"And I do not appreciate you killing my men." The man, now known as Negan says to Rick, still holding a bit of a soft voice. I look over to Rick to see him looking up at Negan, bit of fear covering his face which is also cover in horrible sweat.
"Also when I sent my people to kill your people for killing my people... You killed more of my people... Not cool, not cool! You have no idea how not cool that shit is. But... I think you're gonna be up to speed shortly...Your so gonna regret crossing me in a few minutes."
I squeeze my eyes closed as I look down to the group, wishing that Rick had listened to me and not gone with the deal but he did and... we can't change anything now and like he said we're gonna regret this which terrified me even more, especially because that I haven't even known the Saviors existed until today when we were stopped by the first group who was killing that guy.
I look up from the ground only to see Negan holding his bat covered in barbwire in his face as he threatens Rick. "Give me your shit... or I will kill you." Once again Negan's mouth curls into a smirk, showing off his perfectly straight teeth.
I try my hardest to ignore everything Negan is saying as I look around at everyone on my side, especially Daryl's condition, he's like the rest of us, kneeling down but covered in a dirty, white blanket covering his shoulders, sweat dripping from his entire body and looking incredibly weak, this is definitely the worst I have seen him but he's still looking as strong as ever.
"You don't really think you're going to get through this without being punished now did you?" Negan asks, tears slowly filled my eyes as my theory is now basically as fact.
"I don't want to kill you people, just want to make that clear from the get-go... I want you to work for me. You work for me... You can't do that if you're dead now, can you? I'm not growing a garden... but you killed my people, a whole damn lot of them, more than I'm comfortable with and for that you're gonna pay."
I watch as Negan almost looks at all of us but my head lowers as his eyes caught mine, I can't even look at him without the temptation to murder him.
"I'm gonna beat the holy hell out of one of you,"
This caused a lot of us to get more worried and more worried for the person it is going to be and scared just in case it's your life that he is beating away, know I completely terrified. Terrified for everyone in this lineup.
"This...this is Lucille and she. is. awesome."
'He actually named his bat? wow!" I thought to myself as he introduces the bat to Rick. I look up to see Negan walking over to Abraham, I watch as Abe looks up at Negan showing no fear on his face and moving his position showing this man that he's not afraid of him.
"Huh. I gotta shave this shit." Negan says as his rubs his hand over his beard before wandering off to the other side of the lineup, walking over to the boy with the cowboy hat and patch over his eye, my nephew. Carl Grimes.
"You got one of our guns," Negan states as he walks closer to Carl before kneeling down so he's eye to eye with Carl. "Yeah. You got a lot of our guns." Negan looks at Carl, with a small smile but Carl ignored it and glared at him, unlike me and his father, he showed no fear at all. The look he would give me sometimes and I hate that look, it's pretty scary.
"Lighten up, cry a little," Negan laughs before getting back onto his feet, tucking a pistol into his trousers before he walks back over the other side before stopping in front of the pale looking Maggie.
"You look shitty... I should put you out of your misery right now-"
"NO!"
Everyone looks over to the voice to see one of my close friends lunging at Negan, Maggie's husband, Glenn. "Stop it!" Maggie shouts as one of Negan's men start beating him for getting out of line.
I close my eyes, hate seeing Glenn being beating, just for trying to protect his sick wife. A man holding a familiar looking crossbow aimed at Glenn's head as he lay defenseless on the floor, still looking at Maggie.
"Nope, nope get him back in line." Negan orders, not even looking at Glenn as he waits for the man with blonde hair and a burn scar covering the side of his face to drag Glenn back to his original position. Glenn is still struggling, trying to get out of the man's grip and once he's back in line, his eyes moved back to Maggie, even more, scared that Negan is going to kill her due to her sickness.
Glenn pleads with Negan, hoping he wouldn't killing his wife, I'm hoping his pleading worked. He won't be killing one person if he kills Maggie, he'll be killing her baby which she might be losing at this very minute.
Negan smirks at him and starts to chuckle, obviously enjoying this. "All right listen... don't any of ya do that again, I will shut that shit down! No exceptions! First ones free it's an emotional moment, I get it."
Almost everyone is now in tears, I'm in tears but not remove my eyes from Negan for a second before looking back up to see Negan, strolling over to me. 'I guess it's my turn'
"Wow, aren't you pretty." He says as he kneels down in front of me, I breath out loudly as I try to avoid eye contact with him. "I think I might take you back with me but... I can't give you the special treatment...No, I can't, let's just hope I don't have to bash that pretty head of yours."
I'm relieved once he gets up and walks away from me over to Rick. "That's your kid" Negan states as he points his bat over to Carl before looking back at me with a smirk before coming back over to ask. "You're related to him too, what are you siblings, cousins?"
I look down to the dirt on the floor, the best place to look at the moment, I could hear Negan chuckling before lightly grabbing my chin and lifting it up so I'm now looking at him. "When I ask you a question, I expect you to answer so one last time what he is to you?"
"My... my brother,"
"Yeah... that's what I thought," Negan whispers to himself before going back to the side where Carl and Rick are kneeling. "This is definitely your kid,"
"JUST STOP THIS!" Rick shouts, being pushed to the limit this also caused Negan to snap a bit before he threated to kill Carl stating that he's the 'future serial killer'.
"I gotta pick somebody...everybody's at the table waiting for me to order," Negan says to Rick before whistling, the same whistle as we heard when we got caught. He slowly walks down the line looking at every one of us from Rick and down to Glenn.
"I simply can not decide," Negan says as he walks back into the middle, then stopped once he figures out what he is going to do. I watch him as he slowly walks to Rick.
"Eeny,"
"Meeny,"
"Miny"
"Moe"
He carries on pointing at each one of us and saying this nursery rhyme, which is now going to haunt whenever someone sings it. He carries on for a little bit until the rhyme is finished and landed on his victim
"And. You. Are. It... Anybody moves, anybody says anything cut the boy's other eye out and feed it to his father and then we'll start," He warns us all before turning to the victim. "You can breathe, you can blink... you can cry... hell you're all going to be doing that.
I watch as Negan swings the bat up, crashing it down on my friends head. He didn't cry, he didn't groan in pain, he took it and in Negan's words 'Taking it like a champ!"
I look away, I could watch the person next to me be killed. The guy that Negan chose is the Ginger man, my friend, Abraham. We've never been that close like I am with Glenn, Maggie, Dary, Rick and Carl but he is a part of the family and seeing him being beaten down like this, isn't a pleasant thing to see at all.
I sob quietly as I hear Abe's last words. "Suck. My. Nuts!" Before being hit down one more and this time he doesn't get back up, I wince every time I hear the bat impact his head. After that moment of torture for everyone especially for Rosita, Sasha and of course Abraham, he's finally be put to peace.
I try my hardest to not look at the corpse which is laying on the floor with half of his skull missing. After Negan finishes he starts to laugh at the words Abe said to him, he swings the bat as it drips in Abraham's blood.
"Did you hear that? He said Suck. My. Nuts" He laughs a bit before bringing the bat down a few more times, I try and control my breathing as Negan starts to chuckle, everyone in the line is either crying or completely in shock or even both.
"Oh. My. Goodness...look at this!" Negan says as he swings the bat allowing the blood dripping to hit Rick in the face, I look over to see Maggie almost completely on the floor, crying her eyes out. This is definitely hard for her, it's hard for everyone.
"You guys! look at my dirty girl!" He says before heading his way over to Rosita who is still crying over the death of her late lover, obviously, Negan caught on that there is... well was something between them.
"Sweetheart... lay your eyes on this." Negan raises the bat so it now in her face. "Oh damn... were you together?... That sucks." I watch as Rosita looks away from the bat and from Negan, looking like she is looking at Abe's corpse.
"But if you were... you should know there was a reason for all this red... and hell he was. is and will ever be red. He just took one or six or seven for the team! so take a damn look!" This caused Rosita to start sobbing more still refusing not to look but this caused Negan to get angry and made him snap.
"Take a damn look!"
Suddenly the wounded Daryl jumps up, punching him straight in the face, Daryl tries to get him again but is dragged to the floor by a few of Negan's men, I watch as it all happened, Negan wipes his lips and his men struggle to get Daryl to the floor.
"No! oh no...that...oh my, that is a no-no," Negan announces as he kneels next to the pinned down Daryl. "The whole thing, not one bit of that shit slides here!"
The man holding the crossbow comes forward, the same one who aimed at Glenn does the same with Daryl but this time I could tell he really wanted to kill him but thankfully Negan doesn't allow him and like he said that action didn't slide, he made somebody else pay for what Daryl did.
Daryl is pulled back into line, his blanket now laying in front of him.
"Anyway. That's not how it works. Now I already told you people, first one's free then what I say, I said I will shut that shit down!" Negan says as he stands next to Glenn who is still watching Maggie.
"No exceptions, now I don't know what kind of lie and assholes you've been dealing with... but I'm a man of my word... First impressions are important. I need you to know me... so... back to it,"
Negan says before swiftly turning around and smacking the end of the bat into my best friends head, I gasp in complete shock as I watch Glenn almost completely fall to the group. I couldn't turn away this time as this... is a complete and utter shock.
I watch as Glenn, groans, and struggles to speak as he moves back into his original position, keeping eye contact with Maggie. Glenn's injuries are definitely more severe than Abe's. Like Abraham's his has a huge dent in his head as blood almost completely covers his face and unlike Abe his eyeball had been popped out of the socket.
I cringe at that sight, completely sickened by the look and the man who did it, who is laughing and clotting about what he's done. I don't understand how someone could do this and laugh about it, I can't believe he's amused by it.
"Maggie...I will find you" Glenn says before being swung and smacked across the head, I cringe again as I watch Glenn's hand twitch as his head gets smashed to pieces. This had definitely been and still going to be a long and painful night.
