I wasn't sure how long I had been sitting here alone in the dark dingy room, but it felt like hours. There was one window leading outside, but I was covered up so that outsiders could not peer in. This room definitely gave off a different vibe from the one I got entering the gates. I could heard Glenn and Merle earlier, but had no idea what Merle was doing to him. From the sounds of it Merle had also brought a walker with him. I hoped Glenn was okay, but it had been quiet for quite some time. I looked up to see Merle come in, licking his lips and giving me a look that made my stomach curl. He was clearly nothing like Daryl at all. He got up in my face real close causing me to jump out of my chair. Thankful I had been left unbound I began to back away from Merle as he continued to move on me, looking ready to pounce and do god only knew what.
"Well sugar-tits, looks like we're alone at last." Merle said as he had successfully backed me into a corner. "Come on now, have some fun with ol' Merle. I promise I'll show you a real good time."
"No thanks." I said moving me face away from his. We both turned and looked at the doorway at the sound of it opening. In came a tall man, wearing a clean buttoned shirt, pistol holstered on his belt. He gave Merle a look and signalled for him to get away from me.
"Please sit." the man said, his accent sounded like that of an old southern gentleman. I cautiously took my seat again. He proceeded to sit across from me, I assumed to begin the interrogation. "You'll have to forgive Merle, it's my understanding he just learned that his brother is alive. You are part of his group then?"
"Yes." was all I said.
"Why don't you tell us where it is and we can get you both back there." The man said with a smirk. I knew he hadn't done all this just to return us to our group. This man was a survivor, like Glenn and I, he was not about to just let us walk out of here and that thought sent a chill down my spine.
"Don't think I can do that. After all, it's not like you have exactly showed my friend and I any kind of hospitality." I said with a smirk. "I want to see Glenn."
"I can assure you he is alive and well. Possibly a little battered, Merle had a bit of aggression to work out after all ya'll did to him back in Atlanta." The man said with a smile. "Just tell me where your camp is and I will get you both back to your people. Hell maybe we can all work together to keep surviving this thing."
"You and I both know that's bullshit." I said with a laugh. "You have no interest in helping anyone but yourself stay alive. You've got these people around because you can manipulate them. They think they're safe and sound here, so they will probably believe just about anything you say."
"You're a smart girl that's for sure." The gentleman said with a laugh again. "Martinez, bring in the asian man."
"Yes Governor." The man said in response before heading next door to get Glenn.
"Governor? Really that's what they call you." I said with a laugh. Before I could add anything further two men stepped in with a beaten and bleeding Glenn. I could barely find my voice then. "Glenn"
"Stand up young lady." The Governor said as he stood from his own chair. "If you don't do it yourself I will have Merle come in and force you."
I stood up with a huff, wrapping my arms across my chest in annoyance. The Governor turned to look at Glenn before he spoke again.
"She really is a beauty isn't she?" He said as moved towards me. I stood frozen in my spot as he ran his fingers up my arm and across my cheek. "She yours young man?"
"No." Glenn mumbled, his mouth still swollen from the beating that Merle had given him. The Governor laughed at that and continued to run his hands across my body. It made me feel dirty, sick and it was all too reminiscent of when Ed used to have his fun with me. The memory of those days made me want to empty the contents of my stomach all over the Governor, but all I managed was a gag. I felt the mood in the room change, and Glenn must of seen something in the Governor's eyes change because he began to shout and struggle against the men who held him up. "Don't touch her!"
Clearly the Governor did not head Glenn's warning, because not only did he continue to run his hands across my bare skin, he also tore my shirt from my body. The force of the sudden motion startled and scared me, which resulted in a gasp. Once I was relieved of my shirt he walked over to Glenn and got right in his face.
"Do you really think you are in a position to tell me what to do young man?" He said before looking back at me. "Take off the rest of your clothes."
"What?" I whispered.
"You heard me girl. Take your clothes off." I stood still as I digested his demand. He clearly did not appreciate that. "Take them off or I'll blow your friends brains off and tear them off you anyways."
I was still in shock. I couldn't believe where I was once again. I must be a magnet for these kinds of evil men, because they always seem to find me. Only difference this time was I knew I wasn't going to be able to run from this group. My internal monologue seemed to cause more of an annoyance for him so he pulled his gun from the holster and placed it against Glenn's temple.
"NO DON'T SHOOT!" I yelled as I threw my hands up. I began to unclasp my bra and easily pulled it from my chest. "I'll do it. Just please stop, I will cooperate."
"Good Girl." I heard him purr. Once I had relieved myself of all articles of clothing the Governor made his way towards me. I did my best to avoid his eyes. I hated the look men like him got when they had a woman right where they wanted them. He stood behind me and continued to ran just the tips of his fingers across every new bare surface. I stared at Glenn, willing myself not to let the tears that were pooling fall. In my mind I was a 12 year old kid all over again and the only difference was it wasn't Ed's hands on it me. " Now tell me where your camp is and we can move on. I'll even get you some clothes."
"No." I said in a strong commanding voice. He could do whatever he wanted to me, but I would still not give up where my mother and the people who had took me in were living. This man was evil, and I was not going to let him get his hands on any of them. If that meant taking the beating myself I would gladly do it.
"Don't be a hero girl. Just tell us where they are and this will all be over." he added.
"Go to hell!" I spat at him. Not liking my defiance he slammed my face down into the table, bruising my cheek in the process. I was now bent over and he was running his hands across my ass. I knew exactly what he intended to do, and I knew I could endure it all if it meant those people, my new family were all safe.
"Young man do you have anything to say?" The Governor said, this time directing his question at Glenn. I knew he was hoping that Glenn would give up the location to spare me, but that isn't what I wanted.
"Glenn Don't! He'll do it anyways and kill everyone. Let him do his worst, he's not the first." I said as he continued to press my face down into the table. I was grateful at least that I couldn't see Glenn's face, because I could only image what the broken expression would look like when moments later I felt the familiar unwanted feeling of a man piercing through me. "Ahh" I cried out in pain and in that moment I gave up trying to be strong and just let all the pooled tears fall. His grip on my hips was forceful and I knew it would leave bruises. When he had finished his assault he tossed me aside leaving me to lay there naked and exposed. He tossed me my ripped clothes and left Glenn and I there to stew. Being injured himself Glenn did his best to hobble over to me in a hurry, which caused me to flinch at his touch.
"Violet, why didn't you just tell them?" Glenn asked as he did his best to cover me up with my scattered clothing.
"Wouldn't have made a difference, he was going to do that either way." I said sadly trying to sit up. "He's not the first to take advantage anyways. It just hasn't happened since before I left home."
"Wait..you mean...Ed?" Glenn said asking a broken question. I couldn't even get the yes out so I offered him a sad nod. "Oh god Violet, does Carol know?"
"No." I whispered before allowing more tears to fall. I tried to stand up, but knew the moment I did I would be exposed to him all over again. "Glenn could you turn around. I know you saw it all already but.."
"Just tell me when you're dressed." Glenn said turning around without hesitation, allowing me a little bit of privacy to pull myself together. I replaced my clothes and felt more covered up now. My torn shirt offered little cover, but it acted almost as a sweater that I could pull around my body to cover up a bit. I had always prided myself on my strength and ability to bounce back from things, especially the horrors of my adolescence, but right now all I felt like doing was shriveling up in the corner and cry. So that was what I did. I sat with my back against the wall, knees curled up towards my body, arms around my legs and face buried in my knees as I just let the tears fall freely. In that moment, I wished for death. I didn't care if it came by method of walker or human, I just felt broken all over again. Every ounce of healing I had rebuilt all those years away had crumbled down in an instant, and I felt in my heart that whatever Daryl may have felt for me, was going to disappear once he knew what happened.
