"They've lost people, rick went after them after Negans death with his best fighters along with the hilltop kingdom and some saviors who seeker revenge. I stayed back to keep and eye on the place and make sure I'm here when they show up." Maggie said, sitting at a table.

Carl and I were at the hilltop. Maggie had information for us.

"He's risking his life, he shouldn't have gone out there." I placed lucille against a wall, adjusting dad's jacket.

"Negan was now our friend. Negan wouldn't have died if they didn't lead us out there. They set those walkers out." She explained.

"What? What do you mean?" My brows furrowed, my full attention now on what she had to say.

"What did you hear?" Carl asked.

I leaned over the table a little, my hands resting on it.

"They saw us coming. They knew they wouldn't have survived because that Alexandria explosion killed a lot of their people instead of ours. They weren't smart about it. They knew we weren't up to negotiate this time so they lead walkers to Negan and Jesus. If Negan had that jacket on he would've been saved but he didn't. They lead them with leashes... literally. Cut them off and pushed them towards the group. Negan didn't want to waste bullets and didn't have time to grab the bat. That's the intel I heard from Jesus." They killed my father.

It wasn't an accident.

"They killed him." Carl crossed his arms.

My jaw clenched and my nails scratched the wood of the table.

I was more than angry.

I was blood thirsty.

"Alexa? Are you okay?" Maggie placed one of her hands on mine."I'm going to make it my god damn life goal to kill that leader and I don't give a shit about how long it takes. I'm going to kill him. Lucille's thirsty." I growled.

"They're bringing him here, right? The leader? They got him?" I questioned.

"They were supposed to get him but I'm not exactly sure if they did." Carl shook his head.

"Let me see your walkie." I held my hand out. Maggie pulled her walkie out and set it in her hand.

"Rick, Tara, anyone, are you in range?" I spoke into it.

It was blank silence."Rick, this is Alexa from the saviors, do you copy?" I tried again.

Radio silence."Okay this is the last time I'm doing this, Rick Grimes, do you copy?" I felt a fire inside me.

I was so angry. He wasn't going to get away with this.

"Yeah, I copy... we got him." Finally.

"Is that so?" I spoke back into the walkie.

"Yes... we got the leader. We got a few of his people as well."

Good damn job, rick grimes. It was going to be a lot easier than expected. But I wasn't going to give him the peace of death.

I was going to kill his friends in front of him and torture him, then kill him.

"Good. Bring them to the hilltop. They come to me, you understand?" I raised a brow.

"I understand. Be ready to open those gates."

I set the walkie down and Maggie got up, motioning Carl and I go follow her.

I grabbed lucille, following right behind her.

"What are you planning in that pretty little head of yours." Carl saw the determination on my face.

"This is my show, Carl." I simply said, walking out of the building and towards the gates.

"My girl." I heard Carl say. I smiled to my self a small smile, but it quickly faded.

"Open the gates, it's us!" I heard from the other side.

Maggie and a few others were quick to open them. They had a line of prisoners lined up and tied up.

Rick, Aaron, daryl, Michonne, Tara, Rosita, Eugene, Simon, Dwight, Gabriel, Jesus, Tobin, Carol, Ezekiel, Clark, Ashley, and more dragged them through the gates.

"Welcome to where you're going!" I announced. The terror on their faces made me feel such a way I've never felt before.

Murderous.

"You know how this procedure works, boys, get them on their knees. His tradition lives on." I smirked, seeing the fear and defeat in all of their faces.

Dwight, Simon and Eugene dragged them in front of me in the middle of the hilltop and forced them on to their knees.

As they did this, I whistled the whistle the saviors are so famous for.

Everyone kind of just stood around and watched, not believing what they were seeing.

I smiled an evil smile, laughing a bit as I saw them trembling.

My eyes scanned the line until they met with the leaders eyes.

"You're gonna wish you never ran into me." I swung lucille down.

I felt just like my dad.

And I loved it.

"You can't do this to us, our people will come looking!" One of them shouted.

"Now is not the time to act brave in front of him I will tell you that right now." I gave him a harsh glare.

"I never got to properly introduce myself. I'm Alexa. Oh you will remember my name.... I'm the leader of the saviors now aka the most powerful group in the state of virgina. I run this place and many others and I've done it successfully with my father-... That's is until you got my father killed." My voice lowered angrily at the end.

"You will pay for this! You- you'll die-" I rolled my eyes, pulling my gun out and shooting the guy in the head. His friends screamed as his blood splattered on them.

"Talks too much." I shrugged.

I saw all the fear in their faces... but I saw the worry but also proud look in my peoples faces.

"The rest of you won't be so lucky to die that fast." I warned.

I saw the leaders glare on me.

"You guys are stupid. Very idiotic. You blew up one of our homes. A very important home I might add... but you didn't kill one man in that explosion. You killed most of your own. We know that. We saw it." I paced back and forth.

"Justin, did you really think you were going to get away with it?" I questioned with a laugh.

His eyes stared me down, anger filling his face.

"But the one person you did kill... well, he was pretty important... so for you, this will be a lot worse." I lowered my voice as I adjusted dads jacket.

"This- this is lucille... and she.. is.. thirsty." I held lucille up, waving her back and forth.

"Rick, get me the one on that end." I pointed to a man with blonde hair and dark eyes.

"You got it." Rick grabbed him and dragged him over to me.

"No, no no please I don't want to die! He made me do it I didn't want to. Please don't kill me." He begged after he was in front of me.

"Some strong people you've got here." I snickered sarcastically.

"I don't negotiate." I lifted lucille up and swung it down onto his head with a grunt.

"Woah!" I heard some of my people yell. Simon, Dwight and the rest of the saviors thay were here were smiling, very proud of me.

His blood went flying, the top part of his head bashed in.

It killed him immediately. "Wow, only one hit?!" I kicked his body down and out of the way with a sarcastic laugh.

"Alexa-""Shut it, Carl." I snapped.

I needed my revenge for dad.

I was doing this for dad.

The drifters were now looking away, tears in their eyes.

"We can stop this. You can let us walk out of here and we'll never come back ever! If you keep doing this our people will come looking!" A girl tried to compromise.

"Did I stutter? I don't negotiate. See, my dad lived by this rule. He didn't kill women and he didn't kill kids." I moved in front of her.

She had a little hope in her eyes that I was going to not kill her and let her go. That I was going to spare her life because she had a vagina between her legs.

"The only thing different between my dad and I is that I do." I clenched my jaw before swinging lucille down onto her head as well.

"No! Isabella! No!" I heard a loud cry of pain. They were feeling a lot of that now.

But I didn't feel a god damn thing.

She lifted her head up, mumbling and grumbling, blood pouring down her face."You see this, justin? This is all because you couldn't just let us kill you the first time!" I laughed, swinging on the girl again, killing her, then hitting her a few more times.

"I don't care about a pussy!" I harshly snapped.

"Alexa, that's enough." I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I knew it was jesus. I heard his voice and he's the only one who still wears gloves."Jesus back the hell away. They deserve it." I said.

"She's right. Let her finish." Daryl encouraged... I don't know why he was encouraging it."Let her." Maggie's voice spoke up.

Why was she encouraging it? Her husband died the same way.

"Just let me do this... please." I looked over my shoulder to him.

"Rick? Carol?" Jesus looked at them.

"They deserve all the god damn pain. Alexa, go ahead." Rick gave me my go ahead. Carol just nodded, encouraging it as well.

I smiled to myself and swung my bat on the last prisoner that wasn't the leader.

I bashed his head in 13 times.

"Look at that! Can you see your friends brains on the floor? They probably needed their brain, don't you think?!" I shouted.

His body tended and his glare got more evil. I sucked my teeth with a chuckle, then breathing out some air.

I crouched down in front of him.

"You gave me scars. You gave me a lot of scars. Same with my boyfriend." My hands took dad's jacket off, rolled my sleeves up, and then I lifted my shirt to reveal my torso.

All the burn scars showed themselves, the sun really bringing them out."These won't go away. You also gave me the one on my face." I let my shirt fall back down and I covered myself again with my fathers jacket.

"I think it's only fair for me to return the favor." I pulled my knife out, pressing the blade into his cheek as hard as I could.

"Sad." I sighed before dragging the knife down quickly. The same thing he said to me.

He yelled in pain, his jaw tightening.

"You killed my wife! I had to!" He shouted."Did you give her those scars, too?! She did look pretty fucked up!" I raised my voice, using my right hand to swing at his cheek as hard as I could.

He groaned, falling on his side.

"You killed my father! He's all I had left!" I screamed, kicking his abdomen.

I got on one knee and picked him up by the collar of his shirt and punched him again."Tough luck, kid. Shit like that happens."

"You couldn't tough it up when I killed your wife? What a fucking hypocrite." I punched him once more before standing up and placing him back on his knees.

"You're weak, justin." I hated him. I hated him so much.

"You did this to yourself. Your people are dead because of you." I gritted my teeth.

"You could've just left us alone-"

"You were planning to kill Alexandria. Where kids lived, one of our strongest men, my boyfriend! I was not letting that shit go." I grabbed my knife again, walking backwards a few feet.

I threw it as hard as I could, it landing in his stomach.

I walked back to him, grabbing the handle of the knife and ripping it upwards and then out, his blood pouring on my hands. His screams of agony were loud and obnoxious.

"M-my people! The rest of them! They'll kill you sons of bitches! They're coming for you."

"Good. Let them come. You started war. I'm finishing it you fucking asshole." I growled, grabbing lucille and swinging it to the side of his head.

In this moment, everything felt slowed down. It's like all of my hearing went away and my senses cut out.

I swung over and over again, hitting his skull into the ground with yells in each swing.

"Fucking. Asshole!" I screamed.

Tears slipped down my cheeks as I did this, my screams turning into cries.

"Hey, hey! Alexa! It's over! It's okay!" I felt hands grab my shoulders. I dropped the bat, ripping out of the persons grasp.

I felt all the blood that was actually on me.

All eyes were on me."Baby-"

"I'm not upset that I did it." I shook my head. "I'd do it again a million times if I could." I said, wiping my tears away with my shoulder, taking a deep, raspy breath in.

My body was trembling in anger and sadness.

I looked at what I had just done. It was terrible that I was proud. I knew Dad would've been proud.

"Take their bodies and throw it outside of the walls. Leave it for walker bait or leave it as a warning to others. Let them know if they come anywhere near any of our homes... well, they'll just have to find out." I literally spit on Justin's dead body.

"No more bullshit. We see them, we kill them."

His death turned her darker than he was by a little
