The ride to the Sanctuary was quiet. Lux was thankful. Though she hadn't really protested coming with Negan, she wasn't exactly thrilled to have been plucked from her peaceful existence.

Negan had a couple of his guys take her to what she presumed was his room.

"Sit." The guy told her as he pointed to the sitting area of the bedroom. "Boss'll be right in."

"Splendid. I can't wait." She deadpanned.

The man shot her an annoyed look. She got the feeling that not many people would get on with her here. But she really didn't give a fuck, if we're being honest.

Negan finally arrives and takes a seat across from her, leaning Lucille against the arm of the couch. "Now Doll. Bet you're wondering why you're here. Well, I like you. I like what I fucking saw back there. And I need you." He eyes her intently. Lux couldn't peg exactly what he meant.

She leans forward to challenge him, "so what exactly do you NEED from me?"

He chuckles, "that depends on you, sweetheart. Now the way things go around here is you either work for points to get shit, become a Saviour, of course you still have to work but it pays more and there are perks, you can end up like your friend Darryl, or you can become one of my wives." He leans back with a glorious smile.

Lux has heard about his wives and she was afraid that that was why he wanted her. She decided to admonish against the idea. "One of your wives?" She laughed so hard he started to get offended. "Pass. I'll be a Saviour or whatever." She waved her hand dismissively. "And what have you done with Darryl?"

"Well jeez, don't worry about my feelings or anything." He tries to brush it off. "It ain't half bad. You just lay around all day, and what for me to get home. And you get all the free shit you want."

Lux chuckled inwardly, it seemed like he was really trying to sell her on the idea. She also took note of how he cleverly ignored her question about Darryl. "Didn't you say you liked my, what was it, fearlessness? Surely my talents would be wasted, lounging about all day doing shit."

"You're right." He grabs Lucille and stands up. "How about a tour and I show you to your room?"

"What? No cell?" She asks feigning shock.

Negan opens the door for her to follow through, "I'm trying something different darling. Hopefully you won't kill me point blank like that poor bastard back there."

"If you don't give me another reason to." She says seriously. He merely nods. "So, you ignored my question about Darryl."

Turning down another corridor he takes a breath and stops to look at her. "First of all, you're already getting a little privilege here talking to me so freely, I don't normally allow this type shit, watch it. Secondly, don't worry about Darryl. Y might bust him out and run back to Alexandria together. Then I'll have to kill you, him and everybody else. And we don't want that, do we?"

Lux was starting to think she couldn't play Negan like she thought she could. Him being impressed with her would only go so far. She had to play this smarter. "You're right."

He eyes her suspiciously, "that's it? I expected more of a fight."

She merely shrugs, "Just wait for it." She smiles at him.

First, he showed her the living quarters. She would be placed on a floor with the other Saviors. Of course Negan explained how someone would be standing guard until he determined it wasn't needed anymore. Basically, she would be a prisoner, her every move monitored, until she gained his trust.

"And thru here is the eating area." Negan said as she followed him through the entrance.

After stopping to have dinner he escorted her back to her new room. "Well Doll. Get some rest. You've got your first run tomorrow."

Lux cocked her eyebrow up. "First? I've been on plenty of runs."

"Not with me you haven't." Negan smiled widely turning to leave her alone in her room. "Sweet dreams."

"Not likely." She mumbled to herself.

She settled into her new digs, thinking back to her people in Alexandra. She'd much rather be there. And she hoped to God Negan wouldn't make her hurt anyone of them prove some loyalty bullshit to him. He couldn't be that deranged. Or maybe he could. She didn't actually see what happened to Glenn and Abraham, but she heard about it. There's no way she could fight back against this man and the group he built without them hurting everyone she cared about in this fucked up world.
