NEGAN MESSED WITH everybody by making them think Ella was his target. As it happened, everyone let out a scream. Some wailed. Some cried out. He missed her by a second when he slammed down his bat, Lucille, into Abraham's skull. Ella let out an antagonizing scream, wanting to look away but too afraid to even move an inch now that he was beating Abraham to death just like his other victims from before. Her ears rung with the screams of everybody else as well, their cries haunting her while she sat there. Her body shook with fear. Blood splashed into her eyes, her face. She wanted to wipe it off, she did, but what was the consequences be for that? The death of everyone, of the unborn children who were nothing but innocent? The group themselves were not innocent by any means but the life they would bring was.
"Ho. Ho. Look at that!" Negan amusingly exclaimed. Maggie snaked her hand through Ella's. Ella had to move her hand away. If this was a nightmare, Ella wished it was going to end soon. She watched as Abraham pushed himself off the ground, staring the man in the eye. There was nothing pretty about the stare. Ella choked. Strong even on the brink of death. "Taking it like a champ!"
The blood from the open wound caused by Negan trickled down Abraham's face. He only hardened his gaze, his eyes turning to steel. "Suck. My. Nuts." Negan slammed Lucille into Abraham's skull. Ella flinched, letting out a sob. She fell to the ground as she listened to the sickening crunches, her face buried into her arms. She heard Rosita's gasps and cries, her heart shattering. She could never understand what Rosita was going through. Fuck. More like she could never understand Sasha, seeing as she was the one hooking up with Abraham.
Ella sat up again. What she saw was someone she did not recognize. If she had been blindfolded during this and it was removed after it was all done then she wouldn't have been able to know who it was at first glance. His head had been smashed in so much it was only brain matter covering the ground. She couldn't even see his hair. It was all gone. He was gone. Ella wished it had been her so she wouldn't have had to see this happen. She was a coward for wanting that.
Silence fell over everyone. Cries and sobs strangling themselves out of people. A dripping Lucille swung over her head, the blood falling, moving down her face. She began to look everywhere but at Abraham. She did not want to throw up on him, he deserved that much. But he would probably tell her it was okay, it was just life, it had to come out one way or another. If the circumstances were different then maybe she would have laughed at that thought.
"Did you hear that?" Negan chuckled. He pointed at Rick, barely able to stand without stumbling. "He said, 'Suck my nuts.'" he laughed again. He landed a blow into Abraham's brain mush. Over and over and over. Ella flinched each time. The bile began to rise in her throat. She had to look up at the stars to not throw up. She could feel her heartbeat increasing rapidly, so much, to the point she was barely able to breath. "Oh my goodness!"
Ella bit on her tongue. The tears falling mercilessly now.
Negan swung his bat though Abraham's matter, splashing it on everyone near. "Look at this!" he laughed menacingly. "You guys, look at my dirty girl!"
