"you see, rick. whatever you do, no matter what, you don't mess with the new world order. and the new world order is this, and it's really very simple. so, even if you're stupid, which you very well may be, you can understand it. you ready? here it goes pay attention." he explained

he let his bat come down and rest in his left hand. then he pointed it at ricks right side of his neck.

"give me your shit or i will kill you. today was career day. we invented a lot so you would know who i am. and what i can do. you work for me now. you have shit, you give it to me. that's your job. now, i know that is a mighty big..nasty..pill to swallow, but swallow it you most certainly will." negan said

he walked around, in front of us going back and forth while he talked.

"you ruled the roost. you....built something. you thought you were safe. but the word is out. you are not safe. not even close. in fact, you are pegged, more pegged if you don't do what i want. and what i want is half your shit. and if that's too much. you can make, find, or steal more. and it'll even out sooner or later. this is our way of life now. the more you fight back, the harder it will be. so, if someone knocks on your door, you let us in. we own that door. you try to stop us and we will knock it down. you understand?" negan explained

his bat was now pointed at ricks face, when rick didn't answer negan moved in closer and put a hand to his ear as if to hear better.

"what. no answer? you don't really think that you were gonna get through this without being punished, now, did you? i don't want to kill your people. just want to make that clear from the get-go. i want you to work for me, you can't do that if you're dead, now can you? i'm not growing a garden. but you killed my people, a whole damn lot of them. more than i'm personally comfortable with. and for that—for that you're gonna pay." negan said looking around at all of us again.

(it's time to pay your penance.😈)

"so, now...i'm gonna beat the holy hell outta one of you. this, this is lucille." negan said, he showed us his bat.

it had a whole lot of barbwire wrapped around it. and the name..did he really name a bat after his wife...

"and she is awesome. all this is just so we can pick out which one of you gets the honor."

he walked around in front of all us again. looking down at every single person.

he stopped at abraham and let out a "huh."

he placed his hand in his face and went down feeling his mustache and beard.

"ugh, i gotta shave this shit."

he walked away and came towards carl and i,

"you got one of our guns." negan said kneeling in front of carl to get a closer look at him.

"whoa. yeah. you got a lot of our guns. shit, kid, lighten up. at least cry a little." negan said speaking to carl

he glanced at me and gave a small chuckle before standing up and fixing the side of his leather jacket.

he took a few steps before stopping at maggie.

"jesussss, you look shitty. i should just put you out of your misery right now."

he raised his bat, i spoke without thinking about.

"DONT. she's pregnant move on and leave her alone will you,"

glenn also yelled out, our protests stopped him from swinging, he looked at me. he put down his bat but turned around when glenn was pinned to the ground trying to get to him

maggie yelled at the men to stop but it didn't do anything, dwight came in and pointed daryl's crossbow at glenn's head.

he pulled glenn back in line with some struggle, but as soon as everyone was in line negan turned around and started talking again.

"nope. make sure he stays in line. all right, listen. don't any of you do the shit again. i will shut that shit down, no exceptions. first ones free, it's an emotional moment, i get it." negan started again

everyone in line was either shaking or had a blank face on. i couldn't hold a blank face. not when someone here would be beaten and killed right in front of us.

the thought of it being someone i cared about made me sick to my stomach, i didn't want to think about it. but it's all i could think about.

there's only 12 of us lined up, there's room for opportunity..

"sucks, don't it? the moment you realize you don't know shit." negan said

he pointed the bat at carl and walked over to him, "this is your kid, right? this is definitely your kid." negan teased

"JUST STOP THIS" rick yelled

"HEY. do not make me kill the little future serial killer. don't make it easy on me. i gotta pick somebody. everybody's at the table waiting for me to order."

he whistled, it sounded just like it always had.

he walked around again, whistling while he looked at us, trying to make up his mind about who would be going first.

"i simply cannot decide." he laughed and then turned around to face us, "i got an idea."

he laughed again before walking up to rick.

"eenie"

"meenie"

"miney"

"mo"

"catch.."

"a tiger"

"by.."

"his toe."

"if.."

"he hollers.."

"let him go."

"my mother."

"told me.."

"to pick"

"the very"

"best"

"one."

"and you.."

"are.."

"it."

"anybody moves, anybody says anything, cut the boys other eye out and feed it to his father. and then we'll start. you can breathe, you can blink, you can cry, hell you're all going to be doing that"

he raised the bat and slammed it down, blood went everywhere and i leaned forward to see who he landed on..
