"Remain silent." Frollo hissed. She quickly nodded and cleared her throat.
"Howdy crew. Sorry we're late." Negan slowly walked in with Lucille. Sadie calmly stood up then flinched, noticing a tare in his shirt. "Nothin' to worry about darlin'." He kissed the top of her head. "How did everything go around here?"
Frollo hid his rage by biting his tongue. 'Do not say anything. Your back can end up in the same condition.' "It went well." She cleared her throat. "I reached level.."
Negan loudly yawned. "Don't care." He deeply sang.
'Jerk.' Sadie folded her arms.
"Oh. Claude. Sorry if she caused ya any trouble. Don't have the time or technology to install a security camera." "No trouble at all. Good night." He left out the door.
Negan set a hand on her right shoulder. "Mind getting me a beer darlin'? I could use some real company in the bedroom." She shrugged. "Sure thing. But..are you sure you're okay?" "I told ya not to worry about it." He chuckled. "Meet me in there alright?" She nodded and skipped over to the fridge.
'Alright. Have to make this up to him. But how?' Sadie held her breath until he left the room. "Alright."
The can of beer was set on the counter and the girl quietly opened and closed the bathroom door. After hanging up her shirt, jacket, and pants, Sadie smiled as she shaved her legs and underarms. 'Manly scent but I don't care.' She fixed her underwear and tank top and retrieved the can. 'No more being sneaky.'
Negan lifted an eyebrow as she walked into the bedroom. He let out a sharp whistle. "Now that is a sight to come home to." He placed the can on the nightstand and brought her over to sit on his lap. She stood right back up with a sly smile.
"Aw hell. I know that look." He cleared his eyes. "Jacket." She motioned with two fingers. Negan grinned and handed it to her. "Thank you. Shirt." She motioned again.
"Where are you going with this?" He rolled his eyes and took it off. Sadie lightly smiled at his muscular body and noticed a scratch on his side. "What were you up to now you daredevil?" She hung up his clothes.
"Got too close to one of the gate rails, thinking about you. You f*ckin' blur my vision, little girl." She left the room for a second to get a cloth and spun around to face him with a scowl.
"I am not little!" Sadie knelt down and cleaned his scrape. "Blinded by beauty huh?" Negan didn't respond and shut his eyes.
Sadie crawled onto the bed and on top of him. Negan gripped her butt. "Well..You're too big!" She stuck out her tongue. "Alright. That's enough." He lay her head on his chest and groaned. Sadie let out a sigh.
"Can I get you anything special?" Negan hushed her. "Just be quiet. Today was shit for me." "Sorry." She whispered. "Thank you." Negan let his fingers roam free along her body, starting from the tip of her spine and back onto her butt.
'I have to tell him sooner or later.' She lifted her head.
"Put your head back down." "I need to stretch my legs." She stood up. Negan pulled her back onto the bed and locked her hands above her head. "Come again? What did you say you were doing?" He firmly pinned her tiny waist with his.
"N..Nowhere. I'm..not doing anything." Sadie slowly panted. Negan slowly nodded. "Just the answer I wanted." He picked up a remote to dim the lights. Sadie fluttered her eyes.
"Now behave." He lifted her top up to her neck. Negan lightly sucked on her left breast, causing her to rebel by pushing her wrists against his. "Stop!" He growled and slammed her hands back down. "Quiet!" Negan extended his tongue, licking the center of her breast. Sadie narrowed her eyes as she closed them, not happy in the slightest.
He then stop ughed and loudly spanked her right thigh. Sadie quickly sat up, still with the look on her face. "What the hell was that?" Negan smirked and walked over to one of his drawers, not pleased by her tone of voice.
"So you want to play rough do you darlin'?" He took out what looked like some kind of sex toy. Sadie yanked her shirt down. "No! I don't want to play rough. I only.." He chuckled and tossed the toy back in the dresser. "Look at you getting all defensive and shit. That is just adorable!"
She huffed and turned onto her side of the bed.
"Hey." He sang and knelt down in front of her with his arms on the sheets. "Turn that big ol' frown.." He used his pointer fingers to lift her straight face. "..upside down."
Sadie playfully pushed his hands away. "You're such a jerk." "I know!" He fully shut off the light and lay next to her under the blankets. "But the screwed up thing is that you love me anyway." Negan set a hand on her stomach and kissed her neck.
She turned to face him and lightly smiled. "You know, You are really lucky you're cute." She softly kissed him on the lips. "Oh really? What would you do if I wasn't?" "Well I'd still respect you of course." She cleared her throat and sat up.
Negan smirked then stopped, noticing she was wiping her eyes. "Aw. That's not a pretty face. What's bothering you sweetheart?" He felt her forehead with the back of his hand. "Negan?" He sat up. "You might want to get another can of beer."
He tilted his head. "This sounds serious. What's going on?" She gulped, struggling to form a sentence. "I only shared this with a few people. But I want you to know. I just don't know how you will take it."
"You can tell me darlin'."
She huffed. "Do..you remember when I told you I was sick?" "Yeah." "And how my body is not as strong? Because of it?" "Yes. And?" He started to get impatient. "When I was little, I.." Sadie shut her eyes to hide her tears.
'F*ckin' hell.' "Just spit it out Sadie." He set a hand on her cheek.
"..I..had cancer."
Her eyes opened to Negan's frozen face. His final moments with Lucille repeatedly played in his thoughts.
Sadie lay her head on his chest, silently crying harder. 'I'm dead! I'm so dead! He's going to kill me for keeping this secret for so long! Goodbye world. Goodbye Claude. Goodbye Shiva.'
She shivered as his arms tightly hugged her. "You..survived?"
Sadie slowly nodded.
He shut his eyes. "Holy shit sweetheart. I'm..The next time I lay a hand on you.."
"Please don't punish yourself. It's not your fault that it happened to me."
Negan huffed. "Your name is now Lucille. Got it?" The girl shivered at the lack of emotion in his voice. "Yes."
Negan lay back down, still holding Sadie close.
'Damn it! I knew this was a bad idea.'
"Good girl." He roughly kissed her on the cheek.
Frollo hastily returned to his room and considered locking the door. Now unable to sleep, he started a fire in the fireplace. "An atheist has overruled a gypsy." He placed a hand between his legs.
"How dare you tempt me Sandra!" Frollo fell to his knees. "You will be mine. Even if I risk my life in the process."
Claude stood up to lock the door and returned over to the fireplace, distressed and exhausted. Her naked body overtook his thoughts, resulting in him letting out a groan as he slid a hand inside his pants.
Frollo then retrieved his hand and left to the bathroom to wash them both. He returned onto the carpet and knelt down to pray. He narrowed his eyes after and looked up to the fiery flames as they crackled.
"Beata Maria. You know I am a righteous man. Of my virtue I am justly proud."
'Et tibi Pater.' He assumed he heard Father Gabriel's voice speaking to him.'
"Beata Maria. You know I'm so much purer than the common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd." 'Quia peccavi nimis.'
"Then tell me Maria. Why I see her standing there. Why her smoldering eyes still scorch my soul." 'Cogitatione.'
"I feel her! I see her! The sun caught in her enticing hair, is blazing me out of all control." 'Verbo et opere.'
"Like fire! Hellfire! This fire in my skin. This burning, desire..is turning me to sin. It's not my fault!" 'Mea culpa.'
"I'm not to blame." 'Mea culpa.'
"It is the heathen girl. The witch who sent this flame." 'Mea maxima culpa.'
"It's not my fault." 'Mea culpa.'
"If in God's plan." 'Mea culpa.'
"He made the devil so much stronger than a man!" 'Mea maxima culpa.' "Protect me Maria. Don't let this siren cast her spell. Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone. Destroy the heathen Sandra! And let her taste the fires of hell. Or else let her be mine and mine alone."
He gulped once he thought there was a knock at the door. Claude shook his head.
"Hellfire! Dark fire! Now heathen, it's your turn. Choose me or your pyre. Be mine or you will burn!" 'Kyrie Eleison.'
"God have mercy on her." 'Kyrie Eleison.'
"God have mercy on me." 'Kyrie Eleison.'
"But she will be mine or she will burn!"
Claude collapsed onto the floor and wiped the beam of sweat from his forehead. Patches of blue and black circles took over his vision. "S..Sandra." He called helplessly before passing out.
Sadie's eyes shot open, relieved that Negan was now fast asleep. 'Claude?' She hesitantly sighed, afraid to wake him up.
"Lucille..Rest easy baby. Been a rough day. I'll never let you go." He murmured and turned on his other side. She huffed. 'Great. Now I can't sleep.' Sadie turned to face his back and put a comforting arm on his waist.
Negan tiredly sat up and wiped his eyes. Sadie held her breath as she pretended to still be asleep. "Baby?" He lightly shook her right shoulder.
"Hm?" She narrowed her eyebrows. "I can't sleep. Not after what you just told me." Sadie opened her eyes half way. "Would you like me to get you something?"
"Mind laying on top of me?" She shrugged. 'Ah why the hell not. What are the odds of him coming across another girl as small as me?' "Um. Okay. No problem. But I don't want to hurt you." "Bullshit." Negan rubbed her back. "You can't hurt me."
He gestured her over with open arms. Sadie lay herself on top of him with her legs in between his. "Is here okay?" She rested her head on his lower and toned abs. "That's f*ckin' perfect darlin'."
He shifted his hips then scratched her head. He then took back his hand to continue rubbing her back. Following his comfort, Sadie softly yawned.
Negan covered his lower body and her with the blankets before shutting his eyes again.
'I do hope this fixes everything. It breaks my heart to see him so depressed and sad.' Sadie lightly smiled and looked up, noticing he was barely smiling too. His hand then stopped and remain on her head.
'Oh you are too good at this.' The girl bragged to herself and closed her eyes for the night. "Please..don't tell anyone about my post illness. Please Negan? It's extremely personal to me." She whispered.
"I'm a listener darlin', not a messenger. Your words are safe with me baby girl." He loudly yawned himself. "Thank you. I really appreciate it." "Shh. Time to go to sleep." She slowly got comfortable and set a hand on his right leg.
