The other men loaded up and jumped in the trucks, they took off also. Melanie looked out the back window as Negan pulled away. She flashed Rick a thumbs up. She walked out to the front, of the camper, and sat in the front passenger seat next to Negan.

"They buy it baby?" Negan grinned looking at her.

Melanie nodded, and sat back, smiling slightly. "They did." She laughed. "I'm sorry I hit you hard back there." She apologized looking over at him.

"It's fine. Scared the hell out of Rick when I threw that chair." He laughed, "Stupid prick."

Melanie smiled slightly, laying her head back.

"Rest baby." Negan said as he concentrated on driving

Melanie yawned slightly. "I will.." She closed her eyes and took a nap.

Negan drove for a while, suddenly he overheard Dwight on the radio.

" They are attacking!" Dwight broke in and the line was cut off.

Negan growled responding into the radio. "Dwight!" He was suddenly caught in crossfire, as they were attacked. He leaned down throwing Melanie down waking her up also, as bullets flew. Negan gritted his teeth. "Cover me. Got it?"

Melanie nodded, and kissed him. "Your ass better come back to me."

"Got it baby." He winked and grinned. He slowly got out of the truck, as he went to Dwight's truck.

Melanie fired at some unknown assailants. Melanie could see slightly, that it was the Saviors fighting with the Hilltop Colony. She looked in the back of the truck seeing Sherry in the back with the kids, she opened the door, checking on them. Gave them a thumbs up and went around front. She raised her gun and started shooting, she took down two Saviors as Dwight and Daryl where fighting. Daryl looked around for a minute as he had Dwight pinned to the ground punching him. He glanced at her and gave a nod.

She looked and seen Negan taking off with Lucille as he ran into the woods. "Get back here!" He roared.

Melanie tossed the rifle, and took out her knife. She went after Negan, she still had a pistol on her also.

Melanie was going down into the ditch as she seen Sasha fighting Negan. Sasha took her knife and swung it at Negan's face. He grabbed Lucille and hit her hard, Sasha flew back and landed on a rock hitting her head hard. "Negan!" She said taking off to him.

"Get your ass back to our son!" He snapped, looking up from Sasha's body - she was starting to turn. He took the bat and swung down putting her down.

"Duck" Mel hollered as she tackled Negan to the ground as seen Rick raise the gun and fire it at Negan. She took her gun out and fired it at Rick. She watched him go down, she knew she got him in the shoulder.

Rick narrowed his eyes at her as he stood up, and took off running over to them. He pulled Melanie, "Get Maggie." He whispered throwing Melanie and started fighting with Negan.

Melanie watched and stood back, she took the butt of her gun and hit Rick across the back of his injured shoulder, left as she looked down seeing Maggie laying against a tree. She walked over to her and crouched down, and helped her up.

Maggie groaned, she knew she was stupid to come out her being in her last month. She should of listened to Harlan but was being stubborn. She still can't believe it's been 6 months since Glenn died. Maggie got into a fight with a savior, and killed him. Then Negan seen her and went after her, so she hit. Sasha was protecting her.

"You alright?" Melanie asked in a hushed whisper.

Maggie nodded, "Just pulled a muscle running from him." She said walking and shrugging Melanie off.

Melanie took off after her and resumed fighting, trying to keep an eye on Maggie also, who was holding her own. She got tackled by Dan. "Dan get off me!" Mel groaned as she started fighting back.

Dan grunted using his rifle pressing down on Melanie's throat. "You're a traitor!" He stammered. " You helped the enemy!"

Melanie grunted and tried pushing back on the gun. She was kicking also, she reached up and shoved her finger into his eyes. She heard a loud pop and seen Dan fall to the ground.

Melanie got up and seen Maggie holding a gun, as she groaned softly.

"Th- Thank you." Mel said trying to clear her throat. Maggie nodded.

Mel looked around and seen Negan come over as he was holding onto Lucille tightly. She went wide eyed as he was going towards Maggie - he was misreading the situation. "Negan! No!" She said lunging and blocking Maggie as he swung Lucille. "She saved me!" Melanie watched as Negan realized what she meant - and who he hit.

It went black as Melanie went to the ground.

"Fuck!" Negan growled. He looked over at Maggie. "Don't you move." He said grabbing her and taking the gun. He went over to the truck where Sherry and Ford where. "Don't try anything." He warned Maggie, he threw her into the back, slammed the door shut. Then ran back looked Melanie over quickly and carried her to the truck. "Shit sweetheart..." He sighed, seeing the good size welt on her head, he fought back wanting to beat himself up right now. He looked over seeing Rick unconscious.

"This isn't over yet." He said smirking, putting Melanie into the car with Maggie. He stopped hearing a gruff voice behind him.

" You're a piece of shit." Daryl said looking over at Rick, who was beaten pretty bad, he looked back at Negan and pressed a pistol against Negan's head..

Negan let out a chuckle, and raised his hands. He had left Lucille in the front seat of the truck. He slowly turned around. "You don;t have any balls left. I beat the shit out of Rick over there." He grinned.

Daryl scowled, and kept his hand on the trigger. He had been through a hell of a fight with Dwight. He won.

Negan watched him, he seen his left arm was broken, it was swelling and he was keeping it close. Negan looked Daryl in the eyes and in a swift motion he grabbed the pistol from his hand and grabbed his broken arm pressing him against the door and twisting it more. Daryl let out a scream in agony.

"Sherry. Rope." He said ordering her to give it to him. She quickly did, and Negan tied him up and threw him in the back also. He slammed the door shut, and hopped into the front and took off, leaving Rick behind.

There where 5 people from Hilltop killed that night. Carl had arrived late to the fight, after being told not to go. 4 Savior's died that night also.

"Negan?" Sherry croaked softly, carrying Ford and putting him up front with Negan. "Where is….Dwight?"

"Dead." Negan said coldly. "Thanks to that s.o.b right there." He said pointing at Daryl.
