Twisted

Chapter 9

I walked so much that my legs felt like they were going to snap like wooden sticks. I looked up still gasping for air and realised I was at Alexandria. I wondered if they would let me in. Before I even took a step closer to the gate, some shielded guy pointed a gun at me.
" Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" I panicked. I saw the gates opening by Rick. He looked at me as if he didn't expect me here, which he didn't.

" It's okay." He nods to the guy, " I know her."

We walked towards the bench table and sat opposite each other. He looked like he was thinking for a moment. Then he spoke.
" Does Negan know you're here?" He asked flinching from the sun rising.
" No.." I fiddled with my fingers avoiding eye contact with him.
He sighed and thought again.
" He'll find out." He says looking at me.

I sighed and shook my head waiting for my mouth to speak out the words I want to say.
" I know. But I just needed to leave." I looked at Rick for one second before looking at the sun rise again.
" Why?"

I took a deep breath and began to speak nervously.
" Because I'm tired of being the slave there and Noah doesn't care as much as I do about getting treated like this. Negan orders me to do a-lot of jobs, and he's got the nerves to speak all innocent with me then call me weak the next day!" I ranted covering my eyes with my hands.

I felt Ricks hand rub my shoulder comforting me gently.
" Hey it's okay." He whispers continuing to rub my shoulder.
I kept my hands on my eyes until he says something again.
" You could stay here, with us." He suggested.
Before I could even think, I politely said, " I can't" and stood up wiping the dust off my legs.

Rick stood up just after me walking next to me. I new one of us would have to break the silence.
" Why can't you?" He whispered looking at me as well as walking.
" Because..." I start, " Because Negan come here and I don't wanna risk getting caught. Negan may be an ass but he's one hell of a clever person." I sighed as we stopped walking.
" We could hide you ever time he comes." He added shrugging his arms.

" It's not worth the risk Rick. I'm not staying." I imputed not changing my mind.

" Where is she?!" Negan growled at Simon, Dwight and Joe.
" I- I ... I don't know Sir!" Joe stuttered shaking his entire body.
Negan took a look at Joe then turned to Simon.
" I don't know where your girl- where Luna is.." Simon admitted scratching his head.

" Then you must know.. Dwighty boy!" Negan smirked pointing his bat at him.
Dwight looked up at Negan and smiled awkwardly. " No I haven't seen her Sir." He starts to sweat from the nervousness. Negan took a step closer to Dwight putting his bat back on his shoulder.
" But you my friend! Was on guard last night." Negan smiled hoping he'd open up.
" I didn't see her." He struggles to breath until Negan walked away setting him free.

" I want all of you and your small groups to go look for her... now!" He ordered banging Lucille on the wall.

I saw everyone looking at me confused of why I'm here but Rick walked over to explain it to them.
" You okay?" I heard a voice behind me.
I noticed it was that Michonne girl. She smiled at me and stood facing me.
" I'm ok." I sighed avoiding eye contact.
" Negan will be looking for you and we can't risk getting cou-" before she could finish I interrupted her.

" I know. I'm leaving in a minute." I smiled slightly before walking to get my backpack.

Minutes passed by and it was finally my time to leave and find some other place. Rick tapped my shoulder as I was walking to the gate.
" I hope you'll be safe out there." He smiled.
" You can always come back here if there is no where else that's safe." He added shaking my hand.
" Okay, thanks Rick." I nodded smirking slightly.

I walked over to the gate and swung it open. Only to see a familiar face with black slit back hair and a typical baseball bat, Along with his army of people behind him.

" Well holy shit!" He shouted smiling sarcastically.

Great.
