Chapter Text
Rick entered his house cautiously ,while holding a gun at his hands and being ready for an attack. Everything was dark around, but there was a strong smell from the Saviors bombarding Alexandria. His house had to be left intact for a reason and not because of Negan's "kindness".
"Carl?" he whispered worried.
"Judith?" His kids didn't seem to be there. He wished they were in safety.
Rick moved a bit deeper into his house when suddenly he got attacked by someone who punched him at the stomach and knocked the gun from his hands. He fell to his knees in pain, only to get kicked once again. Rick gasped in pain and agony.
He heard a chuckle coming from above him and his blood ran cold. Negan was at his house, waiting for his prey so he could trap him.
"Don't make me do this now Rick" Negan told him as he removed the python from his belt and threw it away so that he couldn't defend himself. "I've got plans for you. Cut your little baby girl to pieces, feed her to dead and make you watch"
Rick felt fear growing inside of him. Over his dead body he would harm his kids. Negan attacked him with Lucille and Rick barely managed to roll to the side to avoid it.
Negan chuckled again evilly.
"Then when you're some screwed up, creepy stump with a head-" he said as he went to hit him again with the damn bat "that's when I'm gonna kill you. In front of everybody"
Rick was leaned against the table as he tried to catch his breath.
"You ever shut the hell up?" he questioned Negan. Just out of curiosity, if anything else.
"Nope" Negan answered as he hit Lucille against the table with Rick moving to the side in an attempt to avoid it. "You know your kid volunteered to die? What kind a boy you raised Rick?" Negan asked as he approached him threateningly.
Rick was trying to soothe the pain he was feeling at his stomach.
"I'm gon' fix him" Negan added "cause I like him. Few years he's gonna be one of my top guys"
Rick had enough though and attacked him back, punching him as hard as he could in the face. Negan hit him back, making Rick fall backwards, hitting a table with things and knocking it down.
"When I'm done with you" Negan said menacingly "nobody will try to do what you did, not ever again! Not your friends, not your son-"
Rick grabbed from the floor a metal object and hit Negan right square in the face, which caused him to fall down. He stood up fast and grabbed Lucille that had fallen from Negan's hands. He begun hitting him with the bat's handle. Negan saw red at Rick holding Lucille though.
"Don't you touch her!" he growled as he kicked Rick violently with his foot.
Rick breathed heavily as he saw Negan who was ready to charge against him again. He caught his python under the table. He should get it and shoot Negan once and for all.
He ran towards it fast, but when he had just grabbed it, Negan attacked him with force throwing him out of his house's window and breaking through glass. Rick felt his head hitting the ground hard and he blacked out.
Negan looked out of the window, only to find Rick unconscious.
"Shit" he muttered to himself.
He hurried out of the house fast and leaned down next to Rick. This was his chance to kill him. Now that this prick was unconscious. But then again that would be too merciful for Rick. No, he needed to be alive. So he could feel everything and when Negan was bored of torturing him, he would eventually kill him in front of his friends and family. To show them that noone could go against him and live to tell the tale. Not even the mighty Rick Grimes.
Suddenly some of his men came their way. Their eyes widened when they saw Rick unconscious.
Negan looked at Rick coldly and made up his mind. He would take him back to the Sanctuary and when he was conscious again, they would be taking a road trip to Alexandria, so that he could execute Rick in front of everybody.
"Tie him up" he ordered "and put him in the car"
One of his men kneeled next to Rick and looked at his head.
"Sir, he's bleeding from the head"
Negan groaned at that. There was no chance he would be nursing the Prick to health.
"Put something around to stop the bleeding, but take him quickly. Don't wish anyone to see him getting taken"
"Ok sir" they nodded and hurried to comply.

Rick blinked his eyes and saw that he was laying at a single bed. His whole body was sore and his head was hurting. There was also a bandage wrapped up around his head.
Suddenly the door opened and a lean man walked in. He had black hair and salt and pepper beard. That man was also holding a bat wrapped up in barb wire and was swinging it as he entered the room. He smirked when he saw that he was awake.
"Well, well look who graced us with his presence in the land of the living and dead ones" Negan told him evilly "you hit your head pretty hard. Of course that's what you get when you're a damn mutineer"
Rick blinked his eyes as he didn't understand anything. What the hell was that man talking about?
"I'm sorry sir, but...who are you?" Rick questioned despite hurting everywhere.
Negan let out a chuckle at that, but was cut short as he saw that Rick didn't seem to recognize him.
"You are joking right?" Negan asked him "with these ploys you won't get away. If anything you are pissing me off more" he threatened.
"I don't know who you are" Rick replied defensively.
"Negan, Lucille?" Negan said as he showed him Lucille "ring any bells?"
"No" Rick replied as he grabbed the bedsheets in fear. Who was that man and what did he want from him?
Negan frowned as he examined him closer. There was no hint that this was a joke. He may hit his head very hard and indeed didn't remember him. Negan couldn't execute him like that though. He needed Rick to remember both what he was capable for and what he did personally to Negan and the Saviors.
Another idea came to his mind though.
"You are my prisoner" Negan declared "and you're mine, meaning you belong to me from now and on. When you get well, you are gonna serve my needs in every way you get ordered to"
He saw Rick shrinking back scared at that and swallowing hard.
Oh, he was so gonna enjoy this, Negan thought to himself.
