She laid on the roof top watching the descending sky. The pale orange and yellow colors were fading into the horizon and soon night fall would be upon her. Sunset was Marie's favorite time of the day. It reminded her of Fall, her favorite season. It was a little cool outside. Her black jacket and long sleeved white shirt kept her warm. The diem pants she had on was enough to keep the chill off of her legs while the brown military style boots kept her toes nice and warm. Her arms were behind her head, propping it up. The events of the last months going through her head.

The night she had met Negan and saved one of his man, he had made a deal with Rick. Since they were "kind" enough to save him, Negan spared them that month. When the group got back that night, the Savior leader noticed they didn't bring shit back of supplies. His "generosity" confused everyone, but was welcomed. Ever since the day Marie met him, Negan had been coming with the rest of his men to gather their supplies. He had tried to make small talk with the brown haired woman, and failed every time. Marie wasn't having any part of it. After everything that him and his group had put them through, he excepts her to "play nice" as he put it? Hell no.

She had dozed off at some point that night and woken to a dark sky. The roof top Marie was on was the orphanage she grew up in. The brick building was surrounded by brick walls. It was in the middle of town, but it was her safe haven away from Alexandria. She had traps set up in the building that let her know if anyone has been in there. The windows were all boarded up and have been since the apocalypse started. Something she knew that her old caretaker had done. When Marie had come back after everything started, she had found the old lady had turned into a walker and several of the ladies that lived in the place. It saddened her, but not everyone was lucky enough to survive the beginning when it all went down. She buried the bodies in the courtyard and put crosses on them. Marie had been lucky though. Her head strong personality gave her the will to survive.

Getting up and walking into the building, the young woman checked her traps and seen that they had not been tampered with. She walked upstairs and fell asleep in one of the beds. Since it was night and extremely dark outside, she decided to stay. She knew Daryl would get mad, but it was better safe than sorry.

Time was upon the Alexandrians for the Saviors to get their supplies. Rick and some of the others went to go gather up the stuff they were giving, which left Negan and Spencer alone at the gate. The Savior leader couldn't stand the young man. Negan had people suck up to him left and right, but damn! Grow some balls he always thought. But, this did give Negan the perfect opportunity to put his well devised plan into place. 'Oh yes,' he thought. 'I will get my way.'

Spencer was trying so hard to make small talk with Negan. He had tried to talk about how bad of a leader Rick was becoming, but Negan wouldn't have any of it. His mind was on the tall, dark headed woman of his wet dreams. Changing the subject, the Savior leader started his plan, "The supplies better be fucking amazing this time. I'm tired of getting shit on by you people."

Spencer flinched, "It's been hard on all of us lately. Winter is coming and with it getting colder out, we barely have enough to heat up a few houses on generators. Most of our houses don't even have heat now."

"Don't fucking give me excuses," said the pissed Negan. The more and more excuses he came up with the more and more Negan got pissy.

"Listen, if there was something I could do, I would," whined Spencer.

Just the perfect thing that Negan needed to hear, "Well then, shithead. There is one thing that you could do that would help you piss poor people out a lot."

This made Spencer excited. He wanted to get in good with Negan. The Alexandrian wanted Rick gone and he needed Negan as an ally. Anything that he could do to make him look like a better leader to Negan, Spencer was in. "What do want?"

Putting his arm around Spencer and turning him around, Negan pointed Lucille at the guard on walker duty, Marie. "That, shithead, is what I want."

Looking at Marie's back, Spencer couldn't help but question the Savior leader, "Why her? What do you want from Marie?"

'So Marie is her name. Perfect. Just adds to that sexiness of hers.' Negan laughed, "Admit it fucktard. That is one nice, sexy piece of ass and I want it."

He thought about it for a moment. Was he really willing to give Marie to the Saviors? "What do I get in return?"

Taking his arm off of Spencer, Negan threw the bard wire covered bat onto his own shoulder, "Well, fucktard, I'll make your people a deal. Winter is coming and I fucking hate the cold. My toes freeze and I can't fucking stand frozen cloud piss." Spencer raised a questioning eyebrow. "Ice, dipshit, ice. Anyway," his attention turned back to the brown headed woman, "I'll let your people slide this winter and in turn you give me her."

Surprised by the offer, Spencer thought about the whole deal as Negan explained more. They would let the Alexandrians build up their supplies during the winter months, while still visiting them every month to make sure they still know who they worked for, and in return they get to take a prisoner, Marie, to hold on to until Spring. Spencer's job was to talk the residents of Alexandrian into picking Marie to be the prisoner. It was an offer that Spencer couldn't pass up. He would get on Negan's good side and maybe something more could come of their new friendship.

"Now I can't very well say 'Hey Rick, give me that bitch and you get off for a bit,' can I?" Negan said. "You see, I like the friendship my people have with your people and I don't want to ruin it, though you all work for me. I want the residents of Alexandria Shit Zone to nominate her and her willing to come to me. I'm not a forceful kind of man. Well, when it comes to women. I want her to come on her own." This was all part of his master plan.

"I'll do it."

Marie was on walker watch when Negan and his men showed up on time for their supplies. They came in quick, backed right into Alexandria and up to the supply house. All expect Negan. He stood back by the gate with Spencer. From her post on the guard stand, she could see him. He was an interesting person. Always tried to make small talk and failed horribly. Daryl had always taken her attention off of Negan when he tried to talk to her, which was fine by her. But he never stopped trying. She tried to keep her eyes off the man, but couldn't. Her attraction for the man disgusted her. She looked him up and down as he pranced near the gate. He was wearing his black boots, diem pants, and black leathered jacket, but this time it was unbuttoned, and 'Did he shave?'

Shaking her head from the man, she turned her attention back to outside the gates. Nothing was going on. The Saviors had already wiped the area clean of roaming walkers, but that was no reason not to have someone on watch still. They were talking quietly with each other and she wondered what Negan was saying to Spencer. She didn't trust either of them. Both shady as fuck.

Their supply truck could be heard coming down the road to the gate. It stopped just in front. Negan's right hand man, Carson, got out, "Fucking look at this shit boss," he said as two of the Saviors opened the back door. It wasn't much at all. Only one fourth of the truck was full.

Feeling jipped out of supplies, Negan looked at Rick, "You got to be fucking kidding me."

Abraham, Sasha, Carl, and Aaron followed Rick to the gate. They stood behind Rick. "It's all we got to give," said Rick.

"Bullshit!" yelled Carson.

Sighing, Negan shook his head, "Listen Rickel Dickel. I know shits getting hard and I know I told you that you will either find, make, or steal us supplies," he couldn't help but grin, "but, I'll make you a once in a lifetime deal. It's winter time and I fucking hate getting out in the cold. So this is bargain, I'll let your people slide for the winter. We will still come and visit and patrol, somewhat, outside your walls. This will give you shits the perfect time to build up supplies and have a shit ton more supplies to give to me next time we collect from you. I'm a generous man," Negan swung Lucille around, "And I would hate to have our friendship ruined."

Rick was so surprised by the offer though he couldn't help feeling like something was amiss, "What do you want in return?"

Negan laughed. By this time everyone was interested in knowing what the Saviors wanted. Marie could hear the whole conversation and was highly surprised too.

"What I want? What I want is a prisoner. One of your resourceful people. Not just some kid," Rick made Carl stand behind him, "Or some bitchy ass bitch," Negan glared at Sasha, "Or some ginger headed man on a power trip," he said looking at Abraham, "Definitely not some dipshit either," this was toward Spencer. "I want someone who is useful to you. Someone that's needed here. Hell, if I'm going to put a pause on taking our share of supplies, you bet your granny panties I want someone important." He looked at Marie then back to Rick. "Now we will take this supplies and you have until next month to decide who comes with us. I will warn you. Don't fuck this up Ricky. I don't want to ruin our friendship. Make a good decision or else." On that note, Negan got in the truck with the others and left.

After their group members came back from a run a few days after Negan's offer, Rick had the residents of Alexandria meet in the church that night. Spencer was talking to Marie as he helped her take inventory in the medical house. At first he had tried to make small talk with her, but this made Marie even more suspicious of the man. Then he started to talk about the Saviors' new deal. Of course this made her red flag raise. She always knew he wanted her gone. And he was finally taking his chance.

"Who do you think should go?" Spencer asked.

Marie was holding a clip board when she got fed up with him, "Well it's definitely not you. You're about as useless as tits on a board. They'd just bring you back the day they take you."

Feeling offended, Spencer continued the conversation, "I think you should do it."

She knew that was coming, "And why is that?"

"Well," he started, "You are more useful than everyone else and Negan said she wanted someone useful. You're a nurse."

"Not a nurse, just a medical student," Marie corrected. She put down the clip board and locked the medical cabinet. It was just the two in the medical house. Marie had gotten there early in the morning to check the medicine. She had planned to go on a short run with Daryl late morning.

"Same thing. Anyway, no one else here knows as much as you do about medical stuff. And that's highly useful. Plus, you'll only be gone a few months. That's nothing," Spencer tried to sound convincing but failed. Marie knew that her denying his advancements had something to do with it. He wanted her gone and she knew it.

"And what if something happens to one of you while I'm gone? Who will take care of them?"

Spencer didn't care about anyone but himself here. "We'll find some way. There hasn't been anyone seriously hurt in a while. We've been doing good. You're really not needed here," Spencer said as he walked out the door, "Just think about it Marie."

That one hurt. 'What the fuck is he deal? Not needed here? Please.' But she couldn't help but to admit he was right. All the others had nothing going for them. Marie knew Rick wouldn't let Michonne or Carl go. Daryl would rather die than be taken by those assholes. Abraham wouldn't let Sasha go and likewise, plus the two were only good for killing people. With the ammo shop Eugene wanted to start, no one would let him go. Tara wasn't that useful, either was Aaron and his boyfriend. The Alexandrians needed Rick. Spencer was a no already. Basically that left Marie and she knew it.
