Chapter 11
Sasha POV
I slowly started to open my eyes as I came back into consciousness from being knocked out. I rubbed my eyes and sat up, my hands touch the cold floor. I looked around the see that there was a counting room that seemed like it counted to a makeshift kitchen. In the corner there were two beds both twin, I wasn't sure on who else that bed belonged to. I put my hand against the wall in order to get up and keep my balance. I heard footsteps coming from behind the door, suddenly the door swung open to expose Spencer and another woman. He had her hair in his hands, tears coming down her face as held on tighter. He walked through the kitchen and into the room that I was in, he threw her on the floor then looked in my direction.
"Oh Hey Sash. You're awake. Look don't worry Daryl will find you in no time or maybe never." Spencer says as he squats down to my level and looks at me in the eyes. "You have company, so you don't have to worry, you won't go too insane from talking to yourself. We are in the middle of nowhere so good luck trying to run if you can escape, there's even a bookcase in front of the door. You are underground. Maybe just maybe if you're good, I'll let you out every once in a while."
"Why did you bring me here Spencer?" I asked him calmly as I tried to keep my anger down.
"Well Sasha...from the first time I seen you, I knew that you would be mine. Seriously tell me what could Daryl have to offer? I want to show you what I could for you Sash." Spencer says he tries to touch my cheek but I moved away.
"Don't call me Sash, you have no right to call me that." I growled at him "Your doing this for what? Your own pleasure of making me unhappy. Daryl is the only man that I want and the only man that would have me."
Spencer smirks "If you say it will only be a matter of time, before you fall in love with me. Isn't that right Anastasia?" Spencer asked the woman who was now sitting up, giving him the meanest death glare.
"Well I will be going. I have to be back at Alexandria before the group comes back. And don't worry Sasha there is food down here. I gotta take care of my girls." He stands up, smirks at us and the walks out of the underground dungun. The door closes and then the sound of the bookcase being pushed back in place.
I looked over at Anastasia who was staring at the door with the most hatred. "I have to ask a question if you don't mind me asking?" I asked Anastasia whipped her head fast at me, I flinched under the glare even though it wasn't made for me.
"What?" She says angrily as she continues to glare at me.
"How did you end with Spencer?" I asked curiously.
"For about a couple of months. I was by myself, he was supposed to take me to Alexandria the place he mentions but we never ended up there. He claimed on the third day of knowing me that he fell in love with me." Anastasia stated to me.
"Did he do anything to you?" I asked out of curiosity. I knew it wasn't my place to pry but I needed to know.
"At first he would just hit me but then he started to….."She trailed off "But it hasn't happened in a while."
"He shouldn't do that, he has no right too"
"I know...I know"
"Have you tried to run away?" I asked
"I have tried but he usually has two other guys with him, so if I run they would also be after me"
"I'm sorry for asking…."
"It's okay, if scary that even though the world went to shit we still can't trust people." She says as she got up from the spot and goes over to the bed and sits on it.
"Yeah" I said in agreement, not knowing what to say next afraid that it would be the wrong thing.
We sat in silence hearing nothing but our breathing. I sadly couldn't tell when if it was morning or night since we were in an underground dungeon. I pushed myself towards the wall, holding my knees against to my chest. I couldn't deal with the thought of I not being there when Daryl gets home. I couldn't deal with the thought of not knowing when the next time I will see him again. I know Daryl would do whatever it takes to find me, I remember him telling me how he never stopped looking for Carol's daughter until they found out she was in the barn of Hershel's farm. Suddenly tears started to fall down my eyes as I wished I was back in Alexandria. I should've never went to the pond last night but I had to clear of head. I have to find a way out and I will find a way out. I will find a way back to Daryl even if it takes days, weeks or years.
Daryl POV
A Couple of days later
I rubbed the side of my head for the second time in the day of traveling with the group. We were on our way back from the trading with the Hilltop and the Kingdom. Both very different places but I hoped to bring Sasha there one day after we get settled. The Hilltop seemed more laidback there was a guy named Paul "Jesus" Rovia who was in charge of the small community. He told us that the last leader Greg dead from a zombie bite. They had blacksmiths making knifes, swords, and other survival weapons. There were also a group of women that made jewelry, I found a beautiful ring that would be perfect for Sasha. It felt heavier in my pocket, I had to wait for the perfect time to propose.
We then went to the KIngdom, which was completely different from the hilltop. The name of leader was Ezekiel, he owned a pet tiger named Shiva. He was very big into theatre, I told him to be careful because the ct might just fall. As we spent time there, I could see that he was taking a liking to Carol. I couldn't tell if Carol was falling for this man or she slipped on her mask but either way he made her smile. I felt protective over Carol like a brother because I knew what she went through with Ed. The community seemed to run fine, Ezekiel seemed to be respected by the people of the community. As, we left he told us that we are welcomed back anytime we please. Rick and Michonne took that offer and said they'll be back soon but who knows how soon.
I sat in the RV looking out the window with my hand on my forehead, trying to ignore the pain going on in my head. I was probably overthinking….I knew Sasha was okay but I couldn't shake the feeling still. I felt Carol tap my leg with her foot. "You okay?" She asked curiously.
"Yeah, I just got a headache" I told her as I continued to look out the window.
"Sure...if you say so" She says to me as I make eye contact with her. She touches my hand "Everything is okay. Sasha can handle herself."
"I know she can, I never doubt her." I told her as I looked back out the window of the RV.
A couple hours later, we reached Alexandria Safe Zone. I stood up from where I was sitting and stood up. Carol put a hand on shoulder as a sign of comfort. I heard someone yelled "Open the gate" and the opening of the gate as it made a loud screeching sound. As, we pulled into the community out of the side window, I seen Eric, Tara, Carl, Noah, Father Gabriel and Eugene who was holding Judith but no Sasha. Rick stopped the RV and I was the first one out. I seen Spencer near the gate with a smirk on his face, I didn't care at the moment, I had to talk to my family first.
I walked over five people who I called my family and hugged them. Eugene was handing Judith over too Michonne, who held her close. The five faces looked like they were scared with a mix of sad. "What's wrong?" I asked hoping to not hear the worst.
"You promise to stay calm" Father Gabriel coming towards with his hands in front of him.
"Dependin" I told him already in defence mode.
"Sasha is missing." He says loud enough so the whole group can hear also.
"Whattya mean she's missing? Y'all haven't found her?" I said looking at all of them
"Noah, Carl, and I went to look and there was no trace" Tara says as she forward to me. I stepped back shaking my head.
Suddenly I heard Spencer laugh from the gate "See Daryl, I told ya, you were not man enough for her"
I stomped over to him, pushed him against the metal wall and choked him and said "If you had anything to do with this, I will end you. If she ends up dead or as a walker I will end you. If she so much as has a mark on her body I will end you. Trust that" I told him as I let him hit the ground.
I then hear Deanna coming from behind and going over to Spencer cradling him in her arms "What did you do to him?"
"He messed with the wrong one." I said as I go in the direction of Sasha's and I house.
As, I walked in the direction, I hear feet behind me meaning the group was following me. I reached the house, and opened the door. I went into the kitchen cabinet to grab my crossbow. I turned around to see the family in kitchen looking at me. Rick steps forward and says "Do you want us to help you find her?"
"Effectively, not yet." I told them as I put my crossbow onto my back.
"Daryl she was our family also." Carl says as he stepped in front of her father.
"I know but I rather be the one to find her just in case. Y'all don't need to see her like that." I think back to how I had to carry Beth out of the hospital, seeing Maggie hit the ground, crying and almost lose sanity. "I couldn't put y'all through that again." I told them as I pushed through them and then exited the house.
I walked past everyone seeing that they were looking at me. I couldn't bring myself to look at them back, once I reach the gate, I'd creaked it up open so that way I could get through. I walked the path entering the woods. I put my crossbow into position, I killed every walker that was in my way out of rage. I knew Sasha wouldn't just up and leave like that, that was not her at all. Sasha was my love, she was the person I confined too, we gave each other hope and I know for a fact, she wouldn't just leave. If anything she would tell me but with everything we been through with one another, she wouldn't leave. We both lost brothers that we neared to us even though we had our differences. We were going to build our new lives in these walls even if it would take a while. I stopped in the clearing, I went over to the car, climbed on top of it. I put my crossbow on my back and I sat down. I would find her. I promise myself that.
Sasha POV
The days turned into weeks in this underground dungeon, were long and dark. Days, felt like weeks, weeks felt like years. I don't think it been years but it feels like it. Spencer would come down here to update us on Alexandria, he tells me that Daryl has moved on but I know that was not that case. Spencer was trying to get in my head but I was not allowing it, I was not stupid. Spencer would have his way with Anastasia one day but I hit him against the back of his head when he went after her. He turned on me, took a knife out of his pocket and he'd put the knife up to my neck. He told me that I wouldn't see Daryl if I keep this up. He moves his knife to the side of my face, he cuts the side of my face, in order to give me a reminder that I should stay in my place. Spencer leaves the underground dungeon saying crazy women under his breath. From that day on Anastasia and I got closer. I told her about the family, I told her that they would accept her and would not betray her. I told her how we welcomed Tara, Rosita, Eugene, Father Gabriel, Noah, and Abraham now they are like family. I learnt that she was the last of her family, she found her parents being eaten by walkers that were family members. Once she seen that, she just ran until she met another group who had a strict leader, effectively she had to get away from the group, effectively the people started to slowly leave the group and she didn't want to be the last one and end up expected to stay. She was on her own, once she went out of the group. Then that's when she met Spencer and she brought him here.
We were sitting on our own beds when I realized that I haven't gotten my period, I gasped out loud causing Anatsaisia to look at me "Sash you good?" She asked as I did the calculation in me head.
"No no no no...I can't be...he doesn't know...not while I'm here."I said as I got up from my bed and walked around the room.
"Sasha What is wrong with you?" Anastasia asked again more confused.
"I might be pregnant…" I told her as I felt tears fall from my eyes and onto my cheeks
"Shit...C'mere" Anastasia stands up holding me close to her as I felt my tears hit her shirt.
I cried some more until I was done. We then suddenly heard the door open and Spencer appeared with a bag in his hand. He looked at us confused "What's wrong with her?"
"Nothing female problems" Anastasia says shielding me by putting me behind her.
"I have a right to know" Spencer says as he comes closer to us.
"You should've thought about something before you kidnapped her"
"What do you mean by that?"
"She might be pregnant"
"Would it be he's?"
"Of course who else's would it be?" I asked Spencer looking at him like he was crazy.
"I'll be back…"Spencer leaves as he exits the room again. A couple minutes later he comes back down into the dungeon and hands me a pregnancy test. We both looked at him confused "I found it in the house...I know random, well it's coming in handy now"
"Can we have some privacy?" Anastasia asked him as she took the test from his hands then handed me the test.
I opened the box as he exited dungeon, I went into the makeshift bathroom, I pulled down my pants and peed on the stick. I got up and went into the makeshift bedroom with Anastasia, as we waited five minutes to wait for the results, I couldn't help but think that I have to start waiting for ways to escape in order to make it out alive with this child. Anastasia held my hand as we waited for what felt like five minutes. I got up, and went into the makeshift bathroom and I went check the test and it said positive.
I took the test into my hands, I sat on the floor and I cried. I felt Anastasia picking me up from the floor and cradling me in her arms "We will get out of here Sasha...I promise. I owe you that...I owe your child to know his or hers father"
I heard footsteps coming into the makeshift bathroom, I knew it was Spencer and obviously he gotten the answer he was looking for. I put my hand on my stomach knowing I had to protect this child.
Let me know what y'all think. Daryl and Sasha will see each again trust me they will. Daryl will meet his child effectively, at the moment they can't do much. But lets see how Spencer will turn out...maybe he will fill guilty about keeping Sasha there along with Anastasia or maybe not. Can he keep this secret from Daryl.
