❝𝗜'𝗠 𝗘𝗫𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗘𝗘 your little humble abode." Negan said as he pulled up to the gates of Alexandria. "Aaliyah told me she wanted you to pack your clothes, and—"

"Nah." Ivy declined.

The saviors were here to take half of Alexandria's stuff. Negan told the group that the saviors would be at their gates in a week— which was a lie because it has been not even a couple days since the deaths of Glenn and Abraham.

"What do you mean 'no'?" Negan asked. Ivy put her foot on the dashboard. Negan insisted on Ivy driving with him.

"I mean no. I'm staying here. And, Daryl is staying, too." Ivy stated. The car stopped and Ivy and Negan jumped out.

"Absolutely not." Negan answered. Negan pushed Ivy towards the gate and stood next to her. He began knocking on the gate.

"Little pig, little pig, let me in!" Negan announced. The inner gate was opened a few moments later, revealing Spencer.

"Ivy." Spencer breathed out.

"Shut the fuck up." Ivy replied. Spencer nodded and looked to Negan.

"Well?" Negan spoke. Ivy looked between the two men, wondering who was going to speak next. Spencer just looked confusedly at Negan.

"Um, who are you?" Spencer asked.

"Oh, you better be jokin'!" Negan laughed loudly. Ivy looked past Spencer and saw Rosita and Eugene. Ivy's eyes softened when she saw Rosita.

Rosita looked extremely sleep deprived. Her eyes were red from the unreal amounts of tears that she had shed the past couple of days. Her skin was pale and she had dark bags under her eyes.

"Negan, Lucille." Negan held up Lucille. "I know I had to make a pretty strong first impression." Rick walked up the gate. Ivy instantly looked to Rick.

"Well, hello, there." Negan greeted. Rick had an angry look on his face. "Do not make me have to ask."

"You said a week." Rick explained as he opened the gate. "You're early."

"I missed ya." Negan smirked. Ivy walked past Negan and gave Rick a hug. "And, so did miss Ivy."

Rick kissed Ivy's head and rubbed it. "You okay?" Rick asked her. Ivy nodded and smiled slightly. Ivy stayed by Rick side, but she looked back at Rosita. Rosita just simply nodded at her.

Everyone turned to the sound of a walker coming towards the gate. "Oh, Rick, come on out here. Watch this." Negan began walking towards the walker. "Calling it!" Negan hit the walker in the face, killing it with one hit.

Negan chuckled before turning back to the group.
"Easy peasy lemon squeezy! All right, everybody! Lets get started." Negan told his saviors. "Big day."

"Hey, Rick, you see that, what I just did?" Negan asked. As Negan walked towards Ivy and Rick, Rick tightened his grip on Ivy, not wanting Negan to get to close. "That is some service!" Rick looked over at the saviors, meeting Daryl's eyes.

"I mean, we almost get turned away at the gate. "Who is that guy, anyway?" Do I get mad? Do I throw a fit?" Negan asked. "Do I bash some gingers dome in?"

"Don't." Ivy spoke. Negan raised his hands up in surrender.

"I just take care of one of these dead pricks that could've killed one of y'all." Negan grinned and bowed. "Service." Negan walked past Rick and handed Lucille to him.

"Hold this." Negan stopped in front of Ivy. "How about you go visit your little boyfriend while the adults talk." Ivy looked over to Rick, and he nodded in approval. Ivy patted Ricks back before walking away, not wanting to be near Negan anymore.

Ivy made her way to the Grimes house. She walked up the steps and let herself inside.

Carl sat inside, gun in his hand as he sat at the kitchen island. As he heard the door open, he held his gun up. He lowered it when he saw it was Ivy.

"It's just me." Ivy spoke. Carl stormed up to her. "It's just me." Carl engulfed her in a hug. "Hey, baby."

"Love, I missed you. Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" Carl grabbed the sides of Ivy's face. Ivy grabbed onto his arms.

"I'm okay. Nobody hurt me." Ivy kissed Carls lips passionately. They were getting older. Their kisses no longer were sloppy or childish. They knew what they were doing. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, baby." Carl assured her. The two walked farther into the house and into the kitchen. Ivy's head peaked up when she heard the cries of Judith. "She's been crying non stop. I think she misses you."

"Then, I'm gonna go see her." Ivy smiled as she made her way to the stairs. Ivy walked quickly up the stairs and into Judiths room, Carl following right behind her.

Judith quickly stopped crying and a small smile crept onto her face. Her little giggles filled the room.

"Hi, sweet girl!" Ivy beamed as she picked Judith up. Ivy bounced Judith on her hip. "Did you miss me! I missed you!"

"She loves you so much." Carl spoke. Ivy rested her forehead onto Judiths and smiled widely. "We both love you." Ivy placed Judith back into her crib.

"I love you guys, too." Ivy smiled. Carl stood next to Ivy and wrapped his arm around her waist. "I hate Negan."

"We all do. But, you..." Carl sighed. "You are so strong, love. Stronger than all of us." Ivy smile faded a bit. She looked down at the ground.

"I feel so empty." Ivy stated. "I haven't even had time to cry over Glenn and Abraham. I haven't had time to feel anything."

"Well, know you're back home. You have time." Carl grabbed onto her hand. Ivy pulled her hand away and shook her head no. "Love..."

"No. Emotions get you killed. Emotions get everyone you love killed." Ivy explained. Carl sighed sadly. "I mean... you saw what Negan did when Daryl showed emotion? He beat the shit out of Glenn. All because Daryl showed emotion."

Ivy stopped for a few moments before speaking again. "Abraham... I could see that he was finally starting to become happy." Ivy said. Carl looked to his sister. "Life was good until Negan showed up."

"He just— he just showed up, and killed our friends. He killed my dad and tried to make it all better by bringing me to my sister." Ivy ranted. "None of this is ok, or right. I can't do this, Carl."

"Hey, listen." Carl grabbed Ivy's face. "I'm fully against the idea of you leaving me, but, Enid and I were talking... And, I want you to go to hilltop with her. Maggie and Sasha are there."

"Maggie's okay?" Ivy gasped. Carl smiled and nodded. "Oh my god! Oh my god." Ivy laughed as she hugged Carl with her free arm. "Do we know if the babies okay?"

Carl sighed. "We don't know. But, what we need to focus on is convincing Negan to let you stay here." Carl stated. "I'm gonna bring Judith to Olivia's. Negan has no business over there—"

"Negan has business everywhere. He owns us, Carl." Ivy corrected. Carl grabbed Judith from Ivy's hands. "I'm not trying to be mean but, we're in deep shit. And, we can't do anything about it."

"I get it. I'm just gonna go give Judith to Olivia. You get Enid so we can talk about the plan." Ivy nodded and walked out with Carl.

Ivy held a hand out to Carl, causing him to stop. Ivy peeked through the plans, and saw no saviors. Ivy signaled Carl to follow after her.

The two ran out the door and quickly made their way to Olivia's house. They weren't going to allow  any of the saviors to see Judith. God knows what they would do with her.

Carl and Ivy ran up the steps of Olivia's house. They pushed open the door and closed it quickly.
The two were met with sight of a frightened Olivia.

"Just us." Carl told her. Olivia nodded and laughed awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, I've just been so on edge since..." Olivia trialed off. Ivy nodded and began walking towards the stairs.

"Enid in her room?" Olivia nodded in response. Ivy made her way up the stairs and around the hallway. She approached Enids door which was closed.

Ivy hesitantly brought her hand up to the door, doing her signature four knocks. "E? It's Ivy." Ivy called out. Ivy heard sniffles from inside the room.

"Come in." A soft voice called from inside. Ivy stepped into the room and was met with the sight of Enid. She looked a lot like Rosita. Sleep deprived, tearful eyes, and dark circles under her eyes.

"E..." Ivy jumped onto the bed and pulled Enid into a hug. Enid instantly began sobbing. Ivy sat on Enids lap and held Enid close. "It's okay. Let it out."

Ivy's shirt was quickly soaked by tears. "W—Why them? Why did anyone have to die?" Enid cried. "I'm so sorry, Ivy. I'm so sorry! I'm sorry you had to see it all."

Ivy closed her eyes. The horrors filled her head at all hours. She couldn't eat or sleep because she saw them 24/7. She saw Glenn and Abraham every second of the day.

"It's okay. I'm okay." Ivy lied. She rubbed Enids head and fell back onto the bed. She faced the crying Enid.

Enid wiped her tears away and looked into Ivy's eyes. "I heard you have a plan? To get to Maggie and Sasha?" Ivy asked. Enid nodded weakly. "Okay... How are we gonna pull it off? Nobody's gonna let us out of their sight. Especially not Rick."

"We'll sneak over the walls, like good old days." Enid smiled slightly. "Carl will cover for us. I hope."

"He will." Ivy stated. She grabbed onto Enids hand and smiled. "I love you, E. I'm gonna make sure nothing happens to you or anyone else."

"I love you, too." Enid said. The two girls hugged once more before Ivy stood up.

"C'mon. Lets get you dressed. I'll brush your hair, too. You've got the princess treatment today, Enid."

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗩𝗜𝗢𝗥𝗦 still lingered around Alexandria about an hour later. Ivy had convinced Enid to leave the house, and that if she stayed away from the saviors, being outside would be good for her. Ivy told Enid to not leave her side.

Ivy had heard some talk about missing guns, and she saw all of the Alexandrians pile into the church. She stayed outside and watched the saviors, making sure they weren't trying to pull anything.

Rick had informed Ivy of the missing guns, and how they were searching the houses for them. Ivy helped voluntarily and searched some of the houses.

Ivy finished searching one of the houses, finding nothing, so she left. As she walked down the road she saw a savior talking to Enid.

But, he wasn't just talking to Enid. He was touching her face.

Ivy reached for her knife in her holster, but a hand quickly stopped her. "They'll be gone soon." The familiar voice of Rick spoke. Ivy didn't let Rick stop her, but someone else did. Ivy turned to see Gabriel holding onto her arm and shaking his head.

"Don't." Gabriel whispered. Ivy turned around and furrowed her eyebrows.

"Are you kidding me?" Ivy spat. The men frowned at the girl as she looked at the ground. "You guys are unbelievable."
