Lucille (The Walking Dead)

Fear

"Anybody moves, anybody says anything, cut the boy's other eye out and feed it to his father." I gave a worried look to Carl but I couldn't help but just stare at Abraham. "And then we'll start." I saw Abraham through my teary-eyed vision hold up to two fingers into the peace sign. I couldn't hold back my tears any longer when I heard Sasha cry out a little when she saw their gesture I've seen them do before so many times. "You can breathe. You can blink. You can cry" He clicked his mouth and gave Rick a satisfied grin. "Hell, you're all gonna be doing that."

He swung downward with his bat into Abraham's skull with a revolting crunch as it hit. I couldn't help but let out a sob as I watch Abraham pick himself up without fail. He was so strong there would be no way that he would let Negan see any weak side of him. I could no longer see their faces with my vision so blurred by my own tears. Only the shapes of who they were remained.

"Oh! Look at that!" Negan's shape exclaimed taking a step back to admire his own work.

"Suck. My. Nuts." Abraham said staring into his ultimate death. Suddenly Negan let out a grunt and all I could see was the shape of him banging the shape of Abraham that kept getting redder and redder. The sounds of it sounded more like thunder than that of a bat swing. They echoed within my mind. I could no longer watch as it looked like Negan put all his frustration into his swings. I could only look down and wince at every thunderous blow I heard. The blows stopped but began Negan's laughing.

"Oh, my goodness! Look at this!" Negan said looking down at his bat that was just red on the tip. He swung it and blood splatter everywhere. Some landed on my knee and I could barely keep myself from throwing up. "You guys, look at my dirty girl." He said showing off his bat. My vision had started to clear up even though I had no want to look at the bat but my eyes were glued to it. I looked up at him and he gave me a smile and a chuckle. My hands fell to my sides and my body suddenly stopped shaking. I shifted my gaze down back to Abraham and just stared at what remained of him.

"Sweetheart," He continued to talk. I looked to see if he was talking to me. But he was standing in front of Rosita with his bat in her face. "Lay your eyes on this." I could tell that Rosita was not even fully here in the situation any longer. She stared out but not at the bat. "Oh damn. We're you together? Well, that sucks. But if you were you should know there's a reason for all of this. Red- and hell, he was, is, and will ever be red." I took a quick back look at Abraham again his blood pooling out of his skull. Suddenly Negan got loud as he yelled, "He just took six or seven for the team!" I glanced back at Daryl who was breathing hard and rocking back and forth. I knew he was going to explode soon and I couldn't stop him. "So take a damn look." Negan said again to Rosita. But she couldn't she only cried out a little before he yelled, "Take a damn look!"

Just as I predicted Daryl shot up and knocked one in the face at Negan. I let out a small cry as I watch men grab at Daryl. I think my cry out went unnoticed by most except Carl who grabbed my hand to keep me down. I watch in horror as they wrestled him down into the ground.

"Daryl!" Rick called out. But I kept my eyes on Daryl as he stared back at me. I could only cry and stare back at him and shake my head in fear of his life.

"No!" Negan yelled thrusting his bat into Rick's face yet again. "Oh, no." Negan chuckles and turns toward me. I look away from Daryl to look at him as he laughing. He looks away while he turns to point down. "That- Oh my! - that is a no-no. The whole thing! Not one bit of that shit flies here." He was crouching down next to Daryl's head. I glanced back in forth between Daryl, Negan, and the bat watching it move. Daryl never took his eyes off me and I couldn't breathe. Suddenly the Dwight guy returned with his arrow gun.

"Do you want me to do it? Right here." I watched in horror as Negan reached toward Daryl's hair pulling it up to a clear shot to his head. Negan looked at Daryl carefully. Daryl let out some grunts and looked up at Dwight. What must have been seconds were hours before Negan let go of his hair.

"No," Negan said looking up at Dwight. I let out a little sigh of relief as he said that. I could feel Carl squeeze my hand even though I was mostly numb. "No, you don't kill them, not till you try a little." Dwight looked between Negan and Daryl before him and the other men grabbed him and pulled him back in his spot. "And anyway," He said standing up straight. "that's not how this works. Now, I already told you people, the first one free, then- what'd I say? I said I would shut that shit down." He said walking away from me. But he was looking at me but without a smile on his face. But it returned as he said "No exceptions. Now I don't know what kind of lying assholes you been dealing with," he said before pausing and smiling again. I was getting so sick of seeing his smile I was ready to rip it off his face. "but I'm a man of my word. First impressions are important. I need you to know me. So." He grabbed his bat and I was ready to scream but it happened so fast. "back to it."

With another thunderous blow, he smashed his bat down onto Glenn's head. I, along with everyone else, gasped at the sight but I couldn't bring myself to do anything.
