"I'm not some crazy person those murders families at night and sleep peacefully!" Negan responded, slightly twitching his eye to cool his anger
"F**k off! From what we seen from your stupid books or that weird-ass knife, it's clear that you're like us! Just face it!"
Negan jerks his head towards him "I'll never become a crazy killer like you or your friends. I killed people like you bastards. I don't wear some outfit that from a goth album" he steps towards him. Staring him down with his red eyes.
Hoodie takes out his gun and aim at him by his hip "Watch what you're doing, or you'll mop this floor again" He threatens, Negan still stands there and narrows his eyes at him
"Or what?"Hoodie smirks behind his mask to hear what Negan said, as it proves his point
"....Or we'll burn the books and take that dagger way.!"
Negan stayed quiet, he shakes his head to himself. He turns away from the hoodie and starts mopping again."That is what I thought.." Hoodie commented. He still holds his gun to make sure Negan doesn't do anything stupid.
Negan finished cleaning the room as the smell of blood won't ruin the wine, but Hoodie still has his gun pointed at him
"I'm done cleaning. Is there anything else to do?" Negan said as he throws the mop aside
"Hm. I'll ask the others. You stay here before I come back...and we don't kill families." Hoodie said as he walks backward out of the door, keeping his eye Negan so he won't do anything when his back is turned. The door is closed and the sound of a click is heard from it, locking Negan back into the room. Negan sighed to himself, he dislocated his hand to get out of the cuffs, it was annoying him when he was cleaning. He sits on the floor and lay his head on the wall, he thinks over in the position he's in while he listens to his hand crack back into place."What have you gotten into" He mumbled to himself when he stares at the lonely light bulb. The room is silenced and lonely for Negan, he's only companied by his thoughts, thinking things that worsen his mood.
Thinking about the mistakes he made in recent days. Or him being an asshole to people that were clearly friendly to him, even to Hoodie was unnecessary. Thoughts he has no control over goes through his mind like a two-way road.He mumbled to himself to think of a plan, he blinks and he feels there's a presence near him. He looks at what's in front of him and sees the little girl he saw the other day ago. She still wears the same outfit but minus the cute smile. She was dirty with cuts and bruises on her, but noticeably of all, it's her bright green eyes. He sees the amulet more clearly, it resembles a flower with a small green jewel on the center, it surrounded by carvings it sorta looks like thorn vines. He wonders how did the little girl gets in here without a sound, but the presence from her doesn't feel friendly to him, but it's sorta familiar to him. He thinks it might be what he thinks of it is.
"Hello?" Negan greeted her, with a confused look on a tilted headShe tilts her head like him and blinks slowly, she doesn't say anything. Not a squeak of a sound from both of them.
"Uhm...I'm Negan. What's your name?" He tries to be friendly to her, he plans not pissing off more people.
She blinks again but she finally says something "My name is Sally"
"That's a nice name"
Sally slightly smiled at him, but the smile on her feels cold like frost to the skin.
"You don't sound like a bad person," Sally said with a confused look in her eyes
Negan raised his brow and look distracted by what she said: "I'm sorry, but what do you mean?"
"Jane says that you're a bad person, that you following us for money" Sally told him about their encounter, Negan feels slightly bad that she was lied to about him.
" I'm not a bad person...I don't hurt nice people. I only hurt bad people" Negan explains to her to see he isn't a threat
"Like....my uncle?" Sally ask Negan wonders what she meant but he understands
"Yeah."
Sally smiles kindly to him to see him like he's a friend,"Would you like to play with me?" Sally asked with a cute smile.
Negan questions a little of what would they can play in the wine cellar, but he goes with it with a reason.
"Yeah. What are we going to play?" He asks as he sits up straight.
"Hmm.." She taps her chin to think "What about hiding and seek?"
Negan looks around of how they could hide in the wine cellar
"Sure. Why not"
Sally giggles as she claps her hands, her cuts and bruises slowly fade away to Negan. Negan thinks about how Sally is doing that, he thinks she's a spirit but he isn't sure what kind of spirit.
