~Four Days Later~

I sit at my desk and I channel my feelings into paper and I smile when I start writing down and I channel my anger and pain and I sing out loud "I've been working my whole life and now it's do or die I am invincible, unbreakable unstoppable, unshakeable they knock me down, I get up again I am the champion you're gonna know my name you can't hurt me now I can't feel the pain I was made for this, yeah, I was born to win I am the champion".

I smile and I hear slow claps standing behind me I turn around and see my sister and dwight smiling from ear to ear I roll my eyes and smile at them and lucy says "I like that what's it called?" I look down at my leopard print notebook "the champion it's about done but I need alittle bit of flare it's missing something I just don't know what" they walk inside and stands beside me dwight does too and he says "what if lucy raps she can spit some pretty sick rhymes".

She shakes her head "no way D that will be a hell no" I snicker and look up at her "you used to love doing poems that's just rhymes why don't you pick one of em and see if one fits" I pout at her and put on my puppy dog eyes she groans and then she giggles and then she exclaims "fine just stop with the puppy dog eyes" I smile and hug her and we walk outside after I tie up my hair in a messy bun and wrap daryl's white bandana around my head and one of his red flannels that I stole from him when he spent one of the many nights at my house in alexandria and some high wasted shorts and I put my gun in my holster.

I walk down the hall next to lucy and as we walk out she is wearing some tight jeans and as we walk past my dads black truck I see dwight putting daryl in one of the trucks I narrow my eyes at him and dad says "hell to the no lucky your not going lucille however is your staying right here" I glare at him I cross my arms "this is not up for debate father i'm going" I walk right by him I see laura passing out knives and weapons to the saviors and I walk right up to her and I see a lone bow and arrow it's red and white and I say "laura pass me that bow?".

She smiles and nodds at me she smirks at me and when she hands me the bow and passes me some arrows they were purple on the ends I grab the arrow and load it up I hear one of the saviors snicker quietly "be careful princess you might break a nail" I grab the arrow and pull and aim quickly and the arrow flies from the bow and hits one of the walkers walking behind dwight and daryl I look at the savior that bad mouthed me "what was that about me breaking a nail?".

I hear laura snicker quietly and she whispers "good one babe" I grab a quiver and put my arrows in it and my dad says "well looks like some time in alexandria did you some good princess lucille and lucky lets get this show on the road" I walk right by dwight and I look at daryl and I wink at both of them and I add alittle swing to my hips and when I get inside the truck I see daryl biting his lip my guess to keep from smiling or laughing.

Lucy sits beside me and I place my weapon on the floor and dad says "you have any idea how proud of you I am my little lucky has finally become a bad ass" I cross my arms and look at him "are you suggesting I wasn't a bad ass before?" he looks at me and smirks "you were you just needed someone to bring it out of you who it was who brought it out of you I don't know but whoever it was I wanna thank them my little girl isn't my little girl anymore".

I see lucy roll her eyes I put my hand on her shoulder she looks up at me and I wink at her she cracks a little smile and when we finally get back to alexandria my dad hits the gate with his bat that's named after our mom and I hate that bat how he can name it to honor her and if mom was still alive she would be so scared of my dad and she'd be disgusted he named a bat after her when we see rick open the gates he says "you said a week your early".

I feel lucy grab my hand and dad exclaims "so rick show me around" I bite my lip and when rick see's me I nodd at him his eyes ask me 'if I was okay?' I nodd with a fake smile I just wanna be back at home where I belong he cracks a little smile and he tries to talk to daryl but my dad stops him "no talking to the help".

We walk inside lucy not once leaving my side and everyone steps out and was standing in the streets and I don't miss rosita's glare the saviors spread out and search the houses and we walk the streets next to rick and I can't find glenn or maggie I look at lucy and I whisper "where's glenn?" her grip tightens around mine "he's fine" I bite my lip and I growl "did dad kill him lucille?".

I yank my hand away from her's and walk towards my dad and rick and I stand in front of him "did you kill glenn?" he looks down at me and rick growls "you didn't tell her?" he narrows his eyes at rick and I ask "rick where is glenn and maggie?" his eyes soften and he spats "he's fine but he hit glenn in the gut the same place where you were stabbed".

I growl and I turn and look at lucy and I say "and you knew? whatever happened to not lying to each other lucille" her eyes sadden and she spats "what did you expect him to do lucky? did you think he wouldn't go unpunished?" I roll my eyes and I scream "my name is not lucky it's phoenix so stop fucking calling me lucky I don't care anymore your not my family these people here are my family so I hope all of you burn in hell".

I look up at negan and I spat "your not my father anymore" I walk away and down the streets heading to my house and I hear negan screaming "lucky you get your ass back here right now" I flip them off and when I finally get there I grab my notebook and I draw a quick map of the sanctuary and I leave a letter too.

To Whom It May Concern

By the time you read this I hope daryl is already out but if he's not then here's a map of negans compound give it to paul or anyone you trust rick I am still working on getting dwight on my side and also his wife sherry but I already got some saviors on my side I already got laura she's my closest friend right now but please tell maggie to give glenn a hug from me and let rosita know that she's not the only one who blames me I blame myself also for abraham's death but i'm not sorry for picking myself for all of you and if I could go back and do something different I would do it again in a heartbeat because for that moment in time I had a family that would lay down there life for me and i'd do it for any of you thank you for giving me love and making me feel apart of a family I have a mission to complete and it's to get daryl out of here.

I fold the paper and slide it into my back pocket and then I am broken by a gunshot I take off in a run and outside and when I see negan and rick running towards the infirmary I follow behind them and when I get in there I see carl holding one of the saviors at gunpoint and rick is trying to talk carl down I walk up and I stand behind rick I see my dad not paying attention to us I grab my papers and I whisper in rick's ear "do with these what you will".

He nodds I slide the papers into his pocket he holds his hand behind his back and I grab it and he whispers "glenn is fine and so is maggie and so is clementine she's with glenn and maggie alright?" I nodd and I step up and stand in front of rick and carl spats at negan "you should go before you see how dangerous we all are" negan laughs and says something I completely ignore him when carl's eyes find me his eyes widened and he asks in disbelief "ember?" I smile at him "hey kid" I hold out my hand for the gun and I whisper "trust me".

He looks behind me and I know he's looking at rick when he gets a head nodd from rick he hands me the gun I pass it behind me to rick and I pull him into a hug he buries his head into my neck and I say "damn kid how'd you get so tall?" he chuckles and returns my hug and I turn to look at negan and he smirks at me and I say "see no bullshit and no speech just straight to the point" I walk right past him and I steer clear of my sister when it was time to leave I was standing beside carl and enid she hugs me and she whispers "be careful mom".

I kiss her on the forehead and I say "i've got it under control alright?" she smiles at me and I whisper in her ear "tell glenn I hope his kid is a boy he needs a son to carry on the rhee name and listen to me if you go outside the walls be careful" she giggles and then when my dad turns around and looks at me "lucky come on time to go home" I see daryl looking at me from the truck I look at him and I see dwight standing on daryl's bike he turns to look at me and he says something to daryl but I can't hear them and rick tries to plea his case about staying I cross my arms "that's not my name".

Negan narrows his eyes at me his playful mood gone "lucky get your ass in the truck now" I glare at him and I smirk at him "just say my real name and I will father" I see laura smirking and she bites her lower lip to keep from laughing and negan says "phoenix time to go" I smirk and start to walk towards them I put my hand on rick's shoulder as I pass him and I sit on behind dwight and he grunts "what are you doing phoenix?".

I look at him and smirk at him "i'm riding with my friend is that a crime?" he rolls his eyes and rick walks away I don't know why and when he comes back with a ak47 and hands it to negan and dwight rides off first my hands wrapping around his waist and when we arrive at the sanctuary I walk right by everyone I pass my bow and arrows to laura and she asks "want me to come by your room later so we can talk?".

I nodd and lucille tries to talk to me but I ignore her and laura says "just leave her be lucille she's pissed trust me" I move down the halls towards my room and I lock my door and I sit at my desk and start writing down my feelings onto the paper my anger bleeding through to the song and then I grab my backpack and I make my way to the infirmary and to the supply room and I pack it up without anyone noticing and then I go to my room and I hide it in my closet and I make my way to the wives room and I see sherry in the corner and I approach her and I say "i'll make you a deal".

She nodds and I smirk at her "there is a backpack full of supplies in my closet but only if you give this to daryl and then when you do this you get the supplies and then you get the hell out of here" she nodds and she hugs me I return her hug and while i'm moving out of the wives room I miss the shadow of my sister standing in the dark corner.

I make my way to my room and then when I go back to my room and then after a while of sitting in my room I am broken by my door being kicked in I am tackled to the bed by four saviors I fight back tooth and nail and I keep fighting against them one of them draws back and punches my eyes and I draw back and punch one in the nose and the jaw but they are twice my weight they force me outside and one guy drags me by my hair and they tie me to the fence my face turned towards the walkers tied up and then I hear my dads voice behind me "alright lucky I am done with your attitude towards us you say your not my daughter anymore so since I no longer have a daughter then I guess your just a stranger to me now".

I grit my teeth and then I hear daryl's voice "don't you hurt her i'll knock yer teeth down yer throat" I growl and then I feel my shirt being ripped off and then I hear negan say "ten lashes" I feel the leather whip connect with my back I scream and I hear daryl screaming "i'll kill ye son of a bitch" I know some of the saviors are holding him back and he says "let me trade places with er".

I scream as it connects again "don't you dare daryl dixon" I scream and feel the tears roll down my cheeks and my knees hit the gravel and negan screams "stand up phoenix take yer punishment" I ease back up to my feet and when it connects again I go quiet it still hurts but i'm not letting him see me cry he doesn't deserve to see me on my knees and then I hear carl scream "ember leave her alone i'll kill you".

When did carl get here? I guess those gunshots was carl he must had stowed away into the delivery truck and then right before my eyes negan must had gotten bored and left me tied to the fence I flinch when I feel comforting hands wrap around my stomach I turn and see it's daryl he unties my hands and I fall into his arms he picks me up bridal style

"It's alright red we're going home".
