Watching the gates to Alexandria close makes me nervous. I mean, what if something happens to Addison along the way. I'll never forgive myself. I shake my head no, grab a gun from Aaron in the watch post right beside the gate and ask him to open them. "What are you doing?" Rick says while walking in front of me. "I'm gonna go help my daughter!" I walk around him and I can feel him steering at me while I run to Addison.

As I see Daryl run off, I can't help but feel like having Addison around is gonna change him. I want to send her away, but if I do I'll loose Daryl too.

I haven't seen Addison all day which is a little strange because she's always in her room or somewhere inside, but I can't find her and neither can Dwight. I'm starting to get a little worried.

As I'm only about 5 minutes into the woods, I hear leaves crunching behind me. "Addison?" I hear someone faintly yell. "Addison?" Dad says jogging up beside me. "What are you doing here?" "I'm here to help you get to Negans place." I smile. "You didn't have to-" "Ya I do. I don't want you getting hurt." I sigh sarcastically. "Ok. But when we're actually there, you shouldn't come in. Just because, I broke you out." He gives a slight smile. "Ok, whatever you say."

As I arrive by the front of the Sanctuary ,behind a bush, I look at Daryl who seems a little creeped out. "What's wrong?" He sighs. "Nothin'. You go talk to him, I'll be waitin' here for when you get out." I smile at him before wrapping my arms around him. "See you later." I quickly run inside and head to my dads room. Surprisingly he's not there. I sigh and go to my room to put my bag down. After a minute, I hear footsteps stop about 10 meters away from my door. I quickly poke my head out the door and see Joey talking with Uncle Dwight. I quickly panic and hide under my bed, and just in time because Uncle Dwight comes in my room. I heard him mumble something to himself before walking away. I sigh in relief before getting back up. I wait a minute before running out into the hallways. As I quickly take a right, I bump into someone causing me to fall on the ground. My heart stops as I realize it's Negan. "Addison, honey you had me worried sick, where have you been?" He asks helping me up. "Uh, I was just outside for the day drawing and stuff." I kind of stutter. I knew he didn't believe me, but he seemed to let it go. "Anyways, I need to talk to you." I say, becoming a little sweaty. "About what?" I could tell he was a little confused. "Can we go somewhere?" He nods his head. "Sure." About a minute or 2 later, we end up in his room sitting at his small, round, wooden table. "So. What do you need to talk to me about?" He says leaning back in his chair. I sigh. "You're not my actual dad." I blurt out fairly quick. He sits up again. "Excuse me?" He says, confused. "You heard me. You're not my actual dad." He looks so mad. "And how do you know that?!" I don't say anything, I only look down. "How long ago did you find out?" He says standing up. "I found out this morning." "So you went and talked to your real dad then, right? I mean, how else would you know?" I start playing with a thread on my black jeans. "Actually, I did talk to my real dad." He scoffs. "That's funny because Daryl seems to be missing. In fact, he went missing this morning, when you snuck out." My heart stops. "How do you know?" He smiles. "Oh honey-" "Don't call me that!" He looses his smile. "I watched you from my window run into the woods with him. Don't even try to get out of this." All of a sudden tears start forming in my eyes. "Or else he's gonna get it." I look at him confused as he snaps his fingers. My heart stops as I turn around to see the door open with 3 men, including Uncle Dwight, holding dad. "Ya, that's right! I saw you 2 walk up to the bush, I saw you run inside of here!" I stand up and turn to Negan. "Please, don't hurt him. Hurt me instead!" I say while a tear rolls down my right cheek. "Oh Addison, I'm not going to hurt him." I look at him confused for about the 3rd time during this conversation. "Then what are you going to do?" I say hearing Daryl trying to get free, but only being pushed to the ground. "I'm gonna let Daryl here go, while you, enjoy your punishment." He smiles creepily. "NO!" I turn around to run to Daryl, but he's being pulled away while Uncle Dwight comes and holds me back. "DAD!" I yell while they take him away from me. "ADDISON!" I hear him faintly yell back. "Now I'm sorry this had to happen, but how else are you going to learn a lesson?" Negan jerks his head forwards as Uncle Dwight holds my wrists behind my back and starts pushing me to move forwards. "STOP!" I yell trying to get out of his grip, but no use. "Addison, just relax! This is only temporary!" "What are you-" He says while stopping in front of a cell. He pulls out a key chain and then pushes me in the cell, causing me to once again, fall to the ground, except this time I fell on my left wrist. He quickly shuts the door and locks it. A second later I start banging on the door and trying to open it, but since it's metal, I'm not doing anything. "Please let me out!" I heard Uncle Dwight put the keys in his pocket. "Sorry Addison." I start banging really hard only to hurt my wrist even more. After a minute I just give up and sit down against the wall. This cell has no light so it's pretty much complete darkness, other than the very small beam of light from under the door. The floors and walls are also metal which makes it cold. I sit there with my knees to my chest, tears in my eyes, until I drift off. In this world now, there are things I know, and don't. For example, if you told me to go outside and kill a walker, I'd say no problem. But if you were to give me a math equation, I'd have no clue what I'm doing. One thing I don't know right now, is if I'm ever gonna see dad, Carl, or even Rick again. Because I know I'm never leaving this place.
