THE STORM

It had been a few months since the incident. Carl had moved out of Alexandria to help Hilltop, since they lost the most people. Taylor now no longer had anyone to support her as the leader of Hilltop. She led by herself. Lyra and Daryl's relationship had definitely become stronger and they seemed to be on good terms. Lyra also seemed to be attached to Lydia. Me and Daryl were on better terms. We talked normally with each other. I had also noticed he had grown fond of Lydia as well

It was winter. The Kingdom had fallen, so Daryl, Michonne, Aaron, and Lydia had left to escort the Kingdom residents to the Hilltop. Due to the sudden cold, Lyra had gotten sick with an every day cold. It wasn't serious but she was running a fever and just wasn't feeling good. Me, Siddiq, Eugene, Rosita and Gabriel were supposed to meet for our next plan of action, but after some serious convincing, Siddiq managed to persuade me into going for him so he could care for Lyra. I told him I could do it but he just wasn't having it

"They're both dead" Rosita said referring to the heater. Gabriel walked up behind her

"Well.." Gabriel said before wrapping his arms around her. I kind of wanted Daryl to do that to me right now, but alas, he wasn't here

"We could keep each other warm" Gabriel said

"Uh, the peanut's listening" Rosita said

"Yeah, so am I. My ears.. They're bleeding" I said dramatically causing Rosita to laugh. Eugene walked in

"I did the systems check on the state of the array, as requested, and the solar panels are no bueno. Best bet is to go old school to keep toasty. I'd advise initiating winter one ice-storm protocol" Eugene said

"The meeting room, Aaron's house, and Barbara's have the largest working fireplaces. We'll divide into those. I'll get the word out" Gabriel said

"We'll gather up dry firewood, stock up, get cozy, and ride it out" Rosita said

"We can't leave Negan. He'll freeze down there. We have to let him out" Gabriel said

"I'll watch him" I said

"Are you sure, Y/n?" Rosita asked

"Yeah, I'm sure. You know, he has a soft spot for kids?" I asked

—————

Lyra was near me as she laid down. I ran my fingers through her hair as she slept. There was a blizzard outside. It was terrible. Negan was being watched by Rosita

"I swear to God, I have memorized every square inch of this room. And it still feels like a party" Negan said laughing

"A never-ending party from hell" Rosita said as she finished tying Negan up
