Carol's heart was racing as she ran through the woods, branches hitting her in the face and stones ripping her bare feet. She could see the lights of the jeep scanning as far as it could see through but the jeep couldn't get in. She stopped for breath and saw the lights of the jeep were trained on a patch of forest which luckily was not near her. She saw a shadow block the lights and heard Negan shout

'Baby come on, it's dangerous out there. Please come back'

Carol knew he couldn't see her but she felt like he could. She felt like if he moved a fraction he would notice her . She watched as Negan slammed the Jeep door shut and paced around trying to look for her, she couldn't understand why he wasn't coming in to find her but then realised he was afraid. He wasn't so big without his army to protect him.

"Carol come the fuck out or I'm coming in!" He shouted

Carol looked around deeper into the Forrest to see if all the commotion was stirring up any undead visitors , she couldn't see any but realised she was un armed except this poxy hair clip she still had in her pocket.

She looked around and near a tree she spotted a broken pipe , she quickly grabbed it and twirled it around her hand. It definitely wasn't her choice of weapon and it wouldn't protect her against a horde but it would have to do for now.

She Jumped when his voice boomed through the forest,

"CAROL STOP HIDING FROM ME! YOU FUCKING LOVE ME SO STOP DOING THIS SHIT!"

Her eyes widened when she saw him start to kick through all the branches and begin to walk deeper into the forest. Carol wasted no time and ran through the forest as quick as she could,she knew he had seen her as he's footsteps got quicker and closer.

"Carol why are you running baby?"

Carol ran harder but her foot caught on a rock and she tripped, her arms hitting the ground hard. She cried out in pain and suddenly she was pulled up roughly . Negan grabbed her arms and pulled them behind her,

"Now as much as I love the chase, this shit has to stop"

She tried to pull her arms away but he held them tighter,

"Get off! I do not want you! Let me fucking go you bastard!"

"Ohh god I love your mouth"

"Now let's go the fuck home"

He started to drag her back to the compound but Carol turned around stabbed him in the arm with the sharp end of the pipe.

Negan roared in pain and let her go to clutch his bloody arm,

"Argh you bitch!"

Carol didn't waste her time , she ran deeper in the woods. It was hard to see as it was dark, luckily she had the moonlight to guide her. She batted her way through the branches and came out to a clearing. She didn't know which way to go so she decided to go straight ahead and hope she came out onto a road,

"CAROL! COME BACK!"

She could hear his clumsy footsteps trying to run after her , she was grateful that she had momentarily injured him so she could get away. She was breathing hard and her feet were killing her, she glanced back and couldn't see him.

She heard rustling in front of her , she stilled and tried to perk her ears to hear anything. She could hear footsteps in the opposite direction , she didn't know if it was a walker or Negan.

She raised her pole and prepared to stake someone with it when she saw figures coming closer to her , she panicked but then gasped when she saw Daryl and the others coming towards her. She burst into tears and ran up to him, he dropped his crossbow and caught her in his arms. They held on to each other not willing to let go again. Carol let go though and said,

"Negan - he's in the woods behind us, I managed to stab him in the arm but it won't slow him down. We need to go now!"

Daryl shook his head and said,

"No he will keep coming after you. We wanted to come yesterday when we saw that you was gone but Rick said we needed a plan . We knew he wouldn't hurt you… He didn't hurt you did he?"

Carol shook her head,

"He is gone in the head, reckons he is in love with me but he is more dangerous than ever now. He has killed two of his wives!"

The group looked at each other and Rick stepped forward and held Carols hand,

"We are so sorry for letting him take you again. He is going down tonight. You,Daryl and the rest of Alexandria will be free of him!"

Carol smiled and squeezed his hand. She then turned around and held on to Daryl again,

"I missed you so much. I love you so much" she pressed her lips against his and kissed her back. He put his forehead on hers and said,

"Your mine and always will be!"

"Well well well isn't this cosy"

They all up jumped into action ,Daryl who had luckily picked his crossbow up before had it pointed at Negan's smug face.

Negan laughed but was clearly in pain, he was clutching his arm which was still heavily bleeding.

'I must have punctured the artery' Carol thought.

Rick came at him and shot him in the arm, Negan cried in pain as his other arm was injured.

Negan laughed weakly and said,

"You do have some balls then Rick"

Rick bent down and said,

"Your dying tonight . For everything you put my group through, for Abe, for Glenn and for everything you have done to Carol!"

Negan looked at Carol and said,

"All I wanted was you to love me back Doll, why couldn't you do that? I proved to you that I would kill my wives for you. Wasn't that enough?"

Carol glared at him and said,

"I would never Love you. You're a killer , you killed my family and because of you I got raped."

"But Carol"

"NO! I don't want to hear it anymore, I don't want to see you. I just want you dead"

She took the gun from Rick and pointed it him, without hesitation she shot two bullets into him head. Negan's body slumped on to the floor awkwardly. The group all sighed in relief at the man who terrorised them being dead.

Daryl pulled Carol into him, Carol finally let all the hurt come through as she broke down. They both dropped to their knees and Daryl comforted her as she cried into his shoulder.

6 months later…

Carol sat outside on the steps of her and Daryl's house, she smiled as she watched Judith riding around on her toddler bike and watched Maggie walking Her newborn baby around in A sling they had found on a run. The baby was Glenn's double and everyone knew that Glenn was looking down at the pair. They missed Glenn and Abe everyday but now there family was getting bigger again.

She felt hands wrap around her waist and smiled when he kissed her cheek,

"How's our little Dixon doing?"

Carol smiled and looked down at her swelling belly. She was 4 months pregnant and already getting pretty big.

"Baking nicely Daddy"

Daryl laughed when she called him that. They both cuddled and sat peacefully together as the sun started to set.

Carol thought back to everything that had happened in the last six months. After she had killed Negan , they had dragged his body back to the Sanctuary to show everyone that there feared leader was finally dead. Nearly everybody was immensely happy, even most of his men were relieved but they had a few devoted followers who were fuming but Rick and Daryl dealt with them quickly.

Rick had proposed that they live peacefully between them. The saviours voted who would become the next leader . They chose Dwight who everybody knew would be a great leader but would never Be dangerous like Negan. They were thankful to be able to live peacefully and not in fear of the people in there group. Dwight even gave half out their supplies to Alexandria and Hiltop as a gesture.

Carol was know and they were going to have there own little Dixon soon. Rick and Michone had just found out they are pregnant . People were walking around happy and not in fear of Negan.

Even though there was still so much horror outside the gates. Alexandria was happy.

The End.
