Negan had left to go deal with other things, like running his crazy people and petting his precious bat some more. He had left me with the so called Doc. He looked at some paper work and flitted around the room, organizing and what not.
Not feeling like talking to him, I laid back down. My stomach growled hungrily, but I ignored it. I had to, not like I could go anywhere and get food right now. Sighing, I closed my eyes, feeling the pain from my bullet wound and the one pounding in my head. The drugs were still in my veins, but it could only take away so much pain.
Breathing deeply, I tried to focus on resting. The faster I did that, the faster I healed. After a couple minutes, I slipped into the oblivion of sleep. Thankfully without dreams.
When I awoke next, I awoke in a room of darkness. Frowning, I sat up, wincing at the pain in my side and in my face, wondering where I was. At first I thought I was out in the woods, and I tried to move, but of course the cuffs held me back. Breathing deeply, I remembered the past 24 hours. Or however long it had been since hearing that piercing scream, the cult, and meeting Negan, the crazy Batman.
No, Batman would only boost his ego. I thought to myself.
My eyes adjusted, noting the dim light coming from underneath the door. It was just barely enough to see in the room. That it was empty, and that I had food sitting on the counter next to me. My stomach gave out a low roar for substance at the sight and I grabbed the apple and immediately tore into it, it was then I realized that my one wrist was free from the cuff but not the other. The crisp sweetness flooded my mouth and I had to moan in delight. The apple didn’t stand a chance and disappeared within a moment. I sat the pathetic tiny core next to a bottle water and a sandwich that also waited for me and I picked it up.
I haven’t seen bread in so long it was unreal. Even though it was stale for sitting for so long, IT WAS BREAD. I took a bite, and another moan escaped as flavor exploded on to my tongue. Ham with lettuce, tomatoes, and Oh My God, did I taste cheese? Some one had figured out and took the time to make cheese? Maybe this place wasn’t so bad after all.
The sandwich lasted a little longer than the apple but not by much. The bottle water was now also empty, but my stomach now full. I looked around some more, hoping to find something that would set me free. Keys would be nice, but like I’d get so lucky.
What I did find, held promise though if I did it right. Smiling, I reached out for the paper clip holding a bunch of papers together in a folder. It slipped off easily. I pried it open and started working it on the cuffs. I haven’t picked locks in so long, but I knew with enough patience and wiggling, that it would …

Smirking, the handcuff rolled off my wrist and onto the bed. Now to get the hell out of this damn place. I jumped off the bed and winced at the pain from the jarring motion. I looked down at my waist, glaring at the offending spot. Sighing, I looked about, and found some gauze and some wrapping to keep it in place. I fixed that up, and moved to the door.
Breathing deeply, I slowly eased it open, and saw an empty hallway. The barred window at the end showed the beginnings of dawn. The sun wasn’t up yet, but it was something. A lot of people wouldn’t be up yet, hopefully anyway.
I froze when I looked down the other way and saw the guard in his chair. It felt like someone dumped cold water down my back. But he didn’t move.
Cocking my head, I tried to get a better look, when I heard the soft snore. Smirking, I gently slipped out of the doctors office and quietly closed the door. Adrenaline was running warm in my veins as I silently padded my way away from the man and down the hallway. But it didn’t take me long to realize this place was huge and I was gonna get lost as I descended some stairs.
It finally opened up to the main floor, which seemed to hold the market area. Searching for any life, I slinked off and out of the factory, and into the garden area. So far so good, I thought to myself.
“You’re playing hide and seek aren’t you?” A small little girl’s voice sounded behind and to the right of me. I turned to look at her, my cheeks flushed with embarrassment at being caught.
The little girl looked to be about seven years old, with rich dark hair that looked the color of a ravens wing in pigtails framing her pale face. Her eyes were a dazzling grayish blue as she regarded me.
“You caught me.” I laughed softly, hoping maybe she could show me a way out of here. “What’s your name?”
“Catty .” She said with pride. “I don’t like Katherine or Katy. The call me Catty, cause I tend to sneak up on them a lot.” She gave a bright smile. “What’s your name?”
I gave her my own smile, my guard slowly dropping. “Luna.”
“Oh! I like that! It’s pretty!”
“Catty, do you think you can hide me on the other side of the fence?” I asked softly, hoping.
“You don’t want to go over there. The monsters will get you. It’s better here. There’s food, and you can actually play and not worry about anything.” She smiled. “Come on! Let’s play.” She took my hand and pulled me towards a few things of toys.
Frowning at her answer, I let her lead me to her toys. I picked up one of the Barbie dolls that needed its hair brushed badly. We sat and played for a few minutes, and it made me think of my little sister.
“Luny-moon!” My little sister caught my attention by her little nickname she gave me. I didn’t mind it cause it made me feel loved and actually appreciated. “Tea Party?” She asked, which made me smile as she would bring out the set and we would play.
“Luna would you like to join me for tea?” Catty asked me softly.
Blinking away the memory with a small sad smile. “Catty, I really need to hide. To get out of here.” My heart picked up from the sad happy memory and the thought of getting out of here. Being with people was bad. You get close, you got weak, and either one of you payed the price.
“I can hide you!” She said with glee. “And I know someone that could get you out!” She smiled. Her dainty soft hand took mine and gently pulled me back into the large factory building. Not where I wanted to go but I followed.
Dawn had come and was lighting up the horizon now as we slipped back inside. I noticed people were now starting to move about and start their day. But they paid us no mind.
She led me down several hallways, that I thought I was in a maze. She finally stopped at one of the doors and opened it to reveal a bedroom. And it looked like her own. Catty immediately dropped down and began getting something out one of her clothes drawers. She pulled out a damn tea set.
Laughing softly, I dropped down on her bed and made myself comfortable. She was to cute. Let alone my side was hurting like hell. But the longer I stayed here, the worse it would be.
“The man that will help get you out, won’t be able to help you til later.” She said softly as she handed me some ‘tea’.
“Ahh okay.” I simply replied. It was then that I couldn’t help but realize it was just her in here. “Where’s your mama? Your daddy?” I asked softly.
“Gone.” She answered with sadness. “The monsters ate them. So it’s just me.” Her head dropped down but she didn’t stop playing. It must have happened awhile ago. “They saved me.” She said softly as she took a drink.
“I’m sorry Catty.” I breathed, wanting to bring her in my arms. She looked just like my sister in that moment that it shook me. And I knew that this is how it happens. How you get close. How you become weak. But it made my heart ache. The world was not what it used to be.
She left me to my thoughts as we continued to play Tea party. After awhile my eyelids grew heavy and it wasn’t long after that, that I slipped into darkness.
I had no idea how long I slept, but Catty was gently shaking me awake. “Enjoy your nap?” She asked with a smile. “Ready to go see the man?” It was then I saw she was holding an apple out to me. I took it with a grateful smile and nodded. I ate my apple quickly and she led me out of her room and through more hallways.
“Are you BLOODY kidding me?!” A high pissed off woman’s voice yelled out, in the up coming hallway. “She’s gone!”
I recognized the voice. It belonged to Angela. How could I forget after her screaming after me? And she was getting closer and whoever she was with.
“Catty! You need to hide me now!” I whispered desperately, knowing if she saw me I was either dead or going to be.
Instead of panic, delight spread over the little girl’s features. Instead of opening a door or something, she opened a vent in the wall. She just popped that sucker off with ease. Grabbing my hand, she pulled me to it and I didn’t hesitate. I crawled inside swiftly, despite the throb on my side, and she right behind me. I could hear her pull it back on the wall just as angry foot falls echoed in the hallway, appearing briefly, then fading away as she continued to bitch about the security at the door of the doctor’s office I was in.
“Keep going Luna.” She murmured softly. “Go straight then make a right.” I crawled as she gave the directions. At one point we had come to an intersection in the vents and she had gotten in front of me so all I had to do was follow.
If I thought the hallways were bad, this was even worse. This was literally a maze. But Catty seemed to know where she was going, which boggled my mind. After what felt like forever, and my side throbbing in pain did Catty come to a stop and push against a vent opening. “This is the man’s room.” Catty spoke back to me.
It came off with a creak and she pushed it aside to crawl through and into whatever room she had led us. After her feet disappeared from in front of me did I follow her into the room. I heard murmurs and I wondered how he’d be able to help get out of here.
“Catty, I ain’t in the mood for a tea party.” A low grumble of annoyance, said the man.
Grunting softly from exhaustion and pain, I stood up from my crouch and looked over at Catty and the other in the room. It was a large room, but I didn’t fully register what was all in there cause of the man that stood before me.
It was Negan.
Out of the frying pot and into the fire, I thought to myself as I took in his shocked handsome features. I already wanted to bolt.
