Negan hasn't let go of Lucielle and we've been walking around for 25 minutes. All of a sudden he leads us into his from and sits us down on the couch. I tense up as he steers at me. "What are you going to do with us now?" Carl snaps. Negan smiles while standing up walking over to us. "I'm glad you asked kid." "He has a name." I say quickly. "Sorry. I'm glad you asked," He took about a minute pause before continuing. "Carl." We both look at each other as he walks over to his cabinet. "What do you need from there?" I ask, my breath uneven and my hands shaky. "Oh, I'm just getting some cleaning alcohol. Stuff for burns." He says shutting the cabinet. "Why do you need that?" Carl asks looking at him. Negan chuckles. "You'll see in a bit." After that we just sit there in silence while Negan thinks.

As Addison and I are sitting here in silence I can't help but stare at her, even though she doesn't notice. The thing about Addison is I don't like her for looks and things lie that. I like her because she's smart, strong, brave, and trustworthy. Before I can grab her hand one of Negans workers opens the door. "Um sir, we're ready." He says with no facial expressions. "Thank you Joseph!" Negan says as Joseph leaves, shutting the door behind him. "Ok, you ready for a consequence?" Negan says with an excited expression on his face. My stomach starts turning as we walk out of his room. We end up on the main floor in the centre of the building with every worker or slave surrounding us. All I know is that it won't end well for the guy tied to a chair because Dwight is at a fire place heating up a metal iron that is now the colour of fire.

As Negan makes us stand in the first row, my stomach starts turning because I know what's about to happen. Negan is going to out the iron on Marks face. I start tearing up because I've actually helped Mark out a couple of times and he's a really nice guy. As Negan starts giving him a lecture while walking closer to him with the scorching hot iron in his hand, I only hear Negans last sentence. "I'm sorry Mark, although don't worry, you'll be fine. It's only a consequence." He smiles before putting the iron to Marks fave. Mark starts screaming in pain as my eyes are now brimmed with tears. After looking at the scene for a minute I close my eyes and listen, trying to tune every single sound out.

My eyes widen, my heart skips a beat and I start breathing more heavily as I watch Negan put the iron onto Marks face. As soon as he does, I look over at Addison who has watery eyes. All of a sudden she shuts them. I look back at Mark, but I don't know why. I don't enjoy seeing Negan do this but I guess it's because the more I see him do bad things to other people, it gives me more motivation to want to kill him.

As Addison and I are led outside to the front of the Sanctuary, Negan suddenly stops while starting to give us a talk. "Look, I didn't want to show you that. But after the little incident this morning, I had no other choice." Addison both look at him with narrowed eyes. "The whole point of today was to teach you about consequences." I just scoff, same with Addison. "If there were no consequences in the world, then everyone would be lost because they would keep doing bad things over and over, thinking that it's ok to keep going on." I already new here this was heading. "Now Addison, honey-" "Don't call me honey!" She snaps which makes me nervous. His smile turns into a frown. "Carl, I'm letting you go." My eyes widen. "What?" Addison and I both say at he same time. "Negan, please. I've already lost everyone I love. Don't take him to." Negan smiles while shaking his head no. I quickly hug Addison before Negans men drag me away from her and force me out of this place.

"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS RUIN MY LIFE?" I yell at him with tears flowing down my cheeks. "Addison, I don't ruin your life. Actions and consequences do."
