CHAPTER THREE
Lily was led through a series of corridors and long hallways before she was brought to a sudden halt. The bag was lifted from her head and she blinked a few times letting her eyes adjust to the light. One of the men behind her knocked on the door they stood in front of before it was swung open and Negan stood on the other side. "Perfect, just the person I wanted to see." Negan said with a grin looking down to the woman.
"Well it's not like I came willingly." She replied through a clenched jaw. Negan chucked and waved to the two men behind Lily, they both bowed their heads and left. "Come on in Firecracker," Negan said, opening the door wider for the woman to enter. She sighed before walking into the room, letting her eyes wander around the place. In front of her was a large window that opened and allowed access to a balcony. A bed was just off the door, two nightstands on either side. A dresser and other normal things one would find in a bedroom littered across the left side of the room, along with access to a private bathroom. To the right side of the room were two couches facing each other, with a table in between them and a desk tucked away in the corner.
"Take a seat." Negan told her, gesturing to the two couches. Lily huffed before sitting on the couch that was closest to the door. Negan sat opposite from her, not saying anything almost like he was waiting for her to make the first move. They both got the hint that the other wasn't going to make the first move so Lily rolled her eyes. "What do you want?" she asked leaning back into the cushions of the couch slightly. "Why exactly did you bring Daryl and I here? Better yet where is Daryl? And why the fuck is Raina hanging around you? She's a kid not a killer." Lily's words were rushed and almost jumbled as she spoke so fast.
"Firecracker, the kid comes and goes as she pleases." Negan said with a slight chuckle slipping past his lips. "She wonders to and from communities to see friends and explore different places. She has no restrictions here, she's free to do whatever she wants." he added in, leaning back in his own seat. "You didn't answer the rest of it." Lily replied, crossing her arms over her chest.
"You'll be seeing Daryl soon enough. As for why I brought you here firecracker? Collateral. If your people try to come get you, they'll only be put in their place again. I own your asses now, you think shit runs itself here?" the man asked, the smirk never leaving his face. But a threatening tone underwent his words. Lily narrowed her eyes at the man slightly trying to study him, almost like she was trying to figure out every single one of his intentions of having her here.
"So what? You're just keeping me here in hopes that Rick comes knocking on your door and you can kill him? You really think I'm that important to the group?" the women shot back, she wanted more information then he was giving her. "I know just enough about your people, you think we haven't been watching your pretty little settlement? We know just how important you are to your people." Negan replied, his smirk turning into a teasing smile. "It's only a matter of time till we get what we want." He added in, leaning forward in his seat resting his elbows on the tops of his thighs.
"And what is it that you want?" Lily asked cautiously. Negan let out a rough low chuckle. "We want everything you have darling, and we won't leave anything behind." A shiver ran down Lily's spine at his words, but she held a straight face and kept her eyes narrowed in his direction.
Without warning or a simple knock on the door for a heads up, the door to Negan's room opened making his head snap up. "Dwight? What the fuck have I told you about knocking!" His voice boomed. Lily starred as Negan stood up and walked towards the blonde man with his face covered in scars. She remembered seeing another man with similar scars on his face just the night before when Negan lined her group up.
The two men talked in hushed whispers, Lily only catching the words 'redneck' and 'cell' throughout the conversation. Lily's eyebrows frowned together as she looked down to her hands that rested in her lap, picking at her nails. "Alright firecracker, it would seem that I have matters to attend to. Dwight will show you where you're staying." Negan said walking up to the woman and towering over her as he stood.
Lily looked up to the man and glared. "I want to see Daryl." she stated, her arms crossed over her chest. Negan chuckled. "Like I said, soon." he repeated his words from earlier. "What? Throwing me in a cell too?" the women snickered. Negan shook his head and sighed. "Not at all, someone likes you gets to stay somewhere special." he told her before nodding to Dwight before leaving the room.
"Get your ass up, lets go." Dwight told Lily making the woman sigh and stand up following the man out of Negan's personal quarters. She followed the man down a long stretch of hallways keeping note on every turn they took so she knew exactly how to get back to Negan's room when the time was right.
Negan walked down the halls going the opposite way of Lily and Dwight, going towards the library he knew he would find the teenage girl in. Opening the door to the room full of books he found the teenage girl huddled on a window ledge reading a book intently. "Hey, do me a favour and tell Lily i'm not holding you hostage okay? She seems pretty damn concerned about you." Negan said to the girl he considered his daughter after the few years they had spent in each other's company.
Raina looked up to the man, an emotion behind her eyes that the man couldn't quite place. "Stop giving me that look and just do it Raina." Negan said making the girl roll her eyes and close her book that Negan noticed was a comic book. "Hey where did you get that?" he asked her, knowing she never read comics anymore.
"On a run, Jesus, when did you care?" the girl shot back, walking past the man and down the hallway he had just come from to go see Lily for herself. Negan sighed and shook his head before continuing to his original destination. The cells.
