Chapter 2
It was a few nights later that Daryl found out that Beth had an unwanted admirer. "His name is Negan in the box. At first he seemed like a nice fellow, but he terrified poor Judith and was placed in the dark closet. After that Negan changed, you can't really tell until you do something wrong by him."
Daryl brushed his hand against one of Beth's. "Has he hurt you?"
Beth shook her head "No, but he keeps making advances and saying that he would treat me like a queen." Beth hesitated for a moment "He makes me uncomfortable. He scares me a little."
Daryl held her hand in both of his. "You don't have to worry about him Beth, I'll keep you safe."
The window that was left open let a breeze in allowing the curtains to flutter across the two figures, as if they were in their own little world. Beth moved up to kiss Daryl's cheek "Thank you Daryl."
The Tin soldiers cheek felt warm and he began to mumble when a haunting 'pop goes the weasel' started to play. Beth's face paled and Daryl pushed her behind him. Just then a giant shadow blocked out the moonlight. A circus themed box with an attached body standing taller than anyone Daryl had seen."So you're the new friend that my Prima Ballerina has been so attached too. An old Tin Soldier with a missing leg."
Daryl just stared at the unassuming, but deadly face of Negan. When the clown in the box realized that the broken toy wasn't going to say anything he looked over at his prized possession and smiled. "I haven't seen you in a while Beth, I've been getting lonely. "
Beth stiffed her spine and stepped out from behind Daryl without letting go of his hand. "I'm making new friends Negan."
The clown man just looked at her and without warning he swiped the tiny ballerina in his hand. "You don't get to have friends Beth! You only get to have me!"
Beth screamed in fear and Daryl moved into action. "You let her go ya bastard!" Negan laughed "and what can you do broken soldier?" Daryl glared at Negan "This!"
then he stabbed the deranged clown in the eye making the giant toy howl and dropping Beth to the ground. When Daryl reached for her he moved them towards the window. "Are you ok Beth?"
As he looked her over he found a little crack running across her hairline to the back of her head. "I'm ok Daryl, I'm ok….Daryl watch out!" and before he could think the Tin Soldier was picked up, flung out the window and falling over and over to the ground. The last thing he heard was Beth screaming out his name.
Yes very, very short but I hope you like it! :)
