~Ashley's Pov~

Carl was here with Negan.... I didn't know where he was going at first but now i know... If i knew what he was doing i would have tried to stopped him from doing it... He wanted me too i don't know why but he did. I'm not asking or talking because i don't want any trouble with him or the others. He was outside with Spencer who came over. Carl was looking away from me because he didn't have the bandage on covering his eye. I went over to go put Judith upstairs. Olivia was cleaning up downstairs.

All of the plates and Cups. Negan just made himself right at home, He shaved. He cooked. He ate. He went though the things of the house. I walked back downstairs only to see Carl look away from me as soon as he heard me take the last step. I closed my eyes and looked at him.
"Don't do that." I said looking at him. He didn't look at me. "Do what?" He asked. "Hide from me" I said.

He didn't say anything. "Carl please don't..." I said. "I can't- I hate it." He said. I stayed quiet for a bit, Because i know that he hated it. Ever since it happened he hated it. Even if he just had the badge on his eye he didn't look at me. It took him some time to even get comfortable around me again because of his eye.

"I know.. But okay, I can't do anything to get that thought out of your head. Either way-" I said walking up to him and stopping behind him. "-I love you" I said placing a kiss on his cheek. I grabbed a plate and a cup from the table and put it on the sink. The door opened and We saw Negan. "All of you, Outside on the porch" Negan said. Olivia and Carl walked out but he stopped me. I didn't look at him. "Would you be a doll and Grab Lucille for me?" He asked. I looked down not really wanting to grab it... He killed Glenn and Abraham with it... Not to mention many more...

He put a finger under my chin and made me look at him. "Pretty please?" He asked. I went over and grabbed the bat. I handed it to him. "Thank you" He said. I was about to walk out but he held the bat out stopping me again. "Michael is here." He said. I looked at him causing Carl to look over to us.(Gif above) "Ignore him. If he looks at you. Don't say anything. He tries to do anything. I'll take care of it alright sweetheart?" He said.

Carl heard that. I just looked at him, He nodded and held his bat out letting me go first. I walked out and stood with Carl and Olivia. Negan put his Bat over his shoulder and walked over to Spencer who was setting up a game of pool. The people that came with Negan were with us, Eugene, Rosita and Tara were here too.

We stood at the porch looking at Negan and Spencer play. "Alright. Tell me about Rick" Negan said. Rick? Why would Spencer want to talk about Rick to Negan?

"Rick wasn't the original Leader here. My mom was. She was doing a really good job at it too. She died, Not long after Rick and his group showed up. Same with my brother. Same with my dad." Spencer said. I finally felt eyes on me. I tried not looking but his eyes were burning me. I knew it was Michael. And yes i am not calling him my father. Ever. I finally looked over to see him looking at me.

I felt something brush my fingers. I knew it was Carl.. He finally held my hand completely. Of course i held his hand back. Michael looked at our hands and back at me. I looked away from him and back to Negan and Spencer. "So everything was peachy here for what? Years? And then Rick shows up and suddenly you're an orphan." Negan said with a cup in his hands. "That is the saddest story I've ever heard. Good thing for you, He's not in charge anymore." Negan said.

So from what this conversation sounds like is that Spencer wants to take Rick's place or Run Alexandria, Maybe even both... Carl squeezed my hand a bit and we let go. "It doesn't matter. He'll find a way to screw things up. Trying to do things his way to take things over.... That's what he did to my mom..." Spencer said. I just looked at him as he took a shot and Negan taking a drink from his cup. "So what exactly are you proposing to be done about that?" Negan asked. "I am my mother's son. I can be the leader she was. That's what this place needs. That's what you need." Spencer more so Demanded than said.

Negan looked at him with a smirk. "So i should put you in charge, That's what you're saying?" Negan asked taking another drink. "We'd be much better off." Spencer said. "I'm thinking of how Rick threatened to kill me. How he literally hates my guts. But he is out there right now. Gathering shit for me. To make sure i don't hurt any of the fine people that live here. He is swallowing his hate and getting shit done-" Negan said aligning his shot and taking his turn. "-That takes guts. And then there's you." He said putting his stick on the table.

He looked at Spencer and walked over to him slowly. "The guy who waited for Rick to be gone so he can sneak over to me and talk to me and get me to do his dirty work so he can take Rick's place. So i gotta ask, If you wanna take over. Why not just kill Rick your self and take his place?" Negan said now right in front of Spencer. "No- I- I didn't- I don't-" Negan cut off Spencer's babbling. "You know what I'm thinking? Cause i have a guess." Negan said and leaned in closer to Spencer.

We didn't hear what he said. Suddenly Negan pulled out a huge blade and stabbed Spencer cutting his stomach open causing Olivia to gasp. I gasped a little. Scared. I looked at Negan slashing Spencer's stomach open as tears welled up in my eyes. Blood was everywhere. His Guts were literally hanging from his stomach. We all looked at Spencer as he fell to the floor holding his guts in his hand. My heart was racing. Negan's blade covered in blood. Spencer fell to the floor in a pool of his own blood.

Negan had blood on his face and shirt. "How Embracing!" Negan said. "There they are, They were inside you the whole time! You did have guts! I've never been so wrong in my whole life!" He yelled. I felt eyes on me but i didn't look. I was looking at Spencer... "Michael you better wipe that goddamn smirk of your damn face!" Negan yelled. Michael was looking at me... I didn't look at him but I looked at Negan.

He was smirking. He put his knife away and grabbed Lucille. "Someone get up here and clean this mess up." Negan said looking at us. No one moved or said anything. "Oh!" He said pointing the bat at the group of people in front of him. "Anyone want to finish the game? Cmon. Anybody? Cmon. I was winning" He said with a smirk on his face.

Out of nowhere Rosita pulls out a gun and shoots at Negan. The bullet went flying catching us all by surprise. How and where did Rosita get a gun and bullets? The bullet hit Lucille. "Shit!" Negan yelled looking at Lucille. "What the shit!" Negan yelled almost running to Rosita. One of the women from his group knocked the gun out of Rositas hands and pinned her down and putting a knife to her throat. "You just-! You were trying to kill me!" Negan said. This was scary. Him acting like this was horrifying. "She got in the way." Rosita said

Negan picked up the bullet. "What is this?! What is this. This little bad boy made from scratch. This was homemade. You may be stupid darling but you showed some real ingenuity. Put that knife to the girl's face." Negan said. She put the knife right under her eye. "Lucille's Beautiful smooth surface. It's never gonna look the same. So why should yours!" He yelled looking at Rosita.

"Unless you tell me who made this." He said. "It was me. I made it." She said. "You see, now i just think you're lying to me. No!" He yelled making me jump the smallest bit. "Such a shame she's gonna have to cut up that pretty face. One more time." Negan said. "It was me." Rosita said moving up. Causing the knife to cut her face. "Oh! You are such a bad ass! Fine. Have it your way." he said and called the woman. "Kill someone." he said. "No. It was me! No!" Rosita yelled as she pointed the gun towards us.

Carl acted quickly and pulled me down. The bullet hit Olivia. She fell to the floor. More tears welled up in my eyes as i saw the bullet hit her cheek. Right under her eye. She was dead... "We had an agreement!" I heard a voice. It was Rick. He was back. "Rick! Look everyone its Rick! Your people are making me lose my voice doing all this yelling." Negan said talking to Rick.

I blocked everything out. I was on my knees looking at Olivia. We lost Glenn. Abraham. Spencer. They took Daryl. Carol and Morgan took off. Were loosing people slowly... People we mostly care about... Negan took Eugene with them.

After a while Carl and Rick came up to me. "Hey, You gotta let go okay?" Rick said. I was looking at Olivia. "Please" Carl said placing a hand on my shoulder. Carl helped me up from the floor. "cmon..." He said. He wrapped his arm around me and we walked away from the house....

~Next Day~

Carl and Rick made their way over to me. I put my knife away and stood up. "We're going to the hill top. To see how Maggie's doing" Carl said. "I figured you'd want to see her..." Rick said. He knows how i see Maggie as a mother figure. He knew i saw Glenn as my father figure... I nodded. "cmon" Carl said holding out his hand. I took it and we went to go get others that were coming with us.

Rosita, Michonne and Sasha were coming too. We walked and made our way to The hilltop. They opened the gates and we Saw Maggie. Rick went up to Maggie and hugged her. "You're okay" Rick said. "Yeah. The baby is okay. All of us." She said. "You were right. Right from the start. You told us to get ready to fight. I didn't listen. I couldn't. But i can now." He said. I heard other footsteps. I looked over. I saw Daryl. My heart started racing. The only thing i could think of is to run.

I ran to him with tears in my eyes and he ran to me. He caught me and we hugged. He picked me up so my toes weren't touching the ground. We fell to our knees.

He and I were crying. He held me close as he cried. I hugged back, My tears soaked his shoulder and His soaked mine. I closed my eyes and smiled as we held each other. Something he and I wanted to do the first time we saw each other in Alexandria after he was taken...

I had my brother back. We looked at each other, He was beaten up... "You're okay" I said smiling as tears fell from my eyes. He nodded and rested his forehead on mine. He smiled sadly and kissed my cheek. I kissed his cheek. He wiped away my tears and i wiped his away. He stood up bringing me with him. He hugged me tight and put me down.

Rick went to him and hugged Daryl. I went to Maggie and she smiled with tears in her eyes. She hugged me close and placed a kiss on my cheek. "Are you okay?" I asked her. She nodded sadly. "Come with me" She said sadly. I looked at Carl. He nodded. Maggie held my hand and we walked over to the back of the property.

There were two crosses on the floor. Glenn and Abraham.... My heart skipped a beat. She sat down and and placed a hand on a grave. "This is Glenn..." She said. Tears welled up in my eyes again. I placed a hand on his grave. I looked at it and took in a shaky deep breath. I kissed my fingers and placed them one of the rocks. I turned around and did the Same to Abraham.

Maggie looked at me and pulled out something Silver. Glenn's Pocket watch... "my dad had this... Then he gave it to Glenn.... Now I'm giving it to you...." She said holding out the pocket watch after she looked at it. I took it. I looked at Maggie. "He would have wanted you to have it... He saw you as his daughter. I see you as my daughter. I want you to have it too" She said.

We stood up and hugged. "Thank you" I said. We went back to the others. Daryl came up to me and hugged me again. I smiled and hugged back. I'm glad we got Daryl back.... I hugged him. We let go and he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. Carl came over and held my hand as we walked to the house.
