ADRENALINE COURSES THROUGH HER VEINS, HEART BEATS WILDLY, ACHING. From a distance, she looks on to the sight before her, eyes widening, weapon loosening from her grasp when Rick calls out for them to 'save him' ---- save Negan ? She shook her head in disbelief and heard Maggie screeching angrily and bursting into tears. She, too feels the urge to cry in frustration because what the fuck was all this for ? Abraham, Glenn.... Sasha... Carl... what the fuck was all of this for ?! Before her weapon falls from her hand, she regains the strength to grasp it as TIGHTLY as she can, ready to make a move --- FINISH IT--- but Darly is there before she can do what Rick couldn't do. Rosita snaps out of the wrath clouding her mind to glance at Daryl.

She shakes her head, opening her mouth, her throat tightening, emotions crumbling. " Over ? " She scoffs, more to herself than at Daryl. She knows he wants revenge just as much as she does and HATES Negan just as much as she does for how cruel he had been to Daryl. She tried to get vengeance not just for those they lost but for Daryl as well... for all of them. " , It's never going to be over Daryl... not while he's alive. Not while RICK-- is allowing him to live after what he did to our friends-- to you ?! I-- this really was for nothing... wasn't it ? "

" No, Tilly. I don't want you to put that on yourself; I don't want you to worry about taking care of me." FEATURES SOFTENING, HER USUAL BITCH FACE FADED AWAY. Lips form into a tiny grin that maintains more sorrow than joy. I- I'm still here, I'm here. For as long as I'm here... let me protect you; let me do that. Because one day, I won't be here... and you'll be protecting someone like I've done for you. And I want you to think back to these moments... to give you strength, just like you gave me strength. "

She doesn't want to cry now because she's still here. THERE IS NO NEED for all that, at least not now. Rosita shakes her head, forcing a bigger smile to appear over twin flesh, and she reaches to take Tilly's hands on her own. " You're always trying to protect everyone else around you. This shouldn't ALWAYS be your job. You need to get used to others wanting to protect you, Tilly. " She squeezes the younger girl's hands; she doesn't know how or what to tell her.... but she's hoping to prepare her for the reality of what's coming.

ROSITA'S BACK PUSHED BACK AGAINST THE DOOR, SLAMMING IT SHUT. CHEST HEAVING HEAVILY. She's trying to catch her breath while still applying all her weight on the door to stop the walkers from barging in. You can hear the walkers groaning outside the cabin as they are trying to make their way inside. The dark-haired woman sent Negan a glare from the corner of her eyes, nose scrunched up like a child having a tantrum.

" Can you just ---- " Gestures for Negan to help her move the large bookshelf to shield the door for a second. She needs a moment to think this through and collect her thoughts, while the two of them plan on how to get the hell out of here. She's already been stuck with Negan for far too long. Still, wondering what the hell was he up to ?

She's searching their surroundings, counting the exits. Not very many exits, one door, and about five windows maybe ? It's not much of a spacious cabin either. As she glances around for other helpful items that can be used. Weapons they need weapons. Any guns ? Knives ?

Negan's voice caught her attention for a split second and turns to him. She shrugs as if telling him with her body language that it's no problem at all. " Never took you for someone with manners. Hearing you saying thank you must make the devil cry. " It's playful in a way, still she's maintaining her distance while roaming the tiny cabin, an eyebrow arched.

" This place has been occupied... " Rosita says while lifting a single finger to glide across the wooden table near the crowded kitchen. She glances at her finger and notices no dust ? The mattress on the floor looks used, the aged books lying on the ground... the kitchen has canned food in the cabinets. She turns to Negan, arms crossing over her chest, she doesn't choose to pay much mind, but deep down she does wonder who lives here and where is the owner ? And why Negan was near the area ?

She wants to question, opening her mouth but shutting it just as quick. Shaking her thoughts she has a look of determination. " I think we had enough thinking time. We're going to have to kill them before more decide to come and surround us. There was like what ? Ten ? How about we make this fun ? Whoever kills the most walkers wins. The loser has to do the Winner's chores. Shake on it ? "

“ I fucked up. ” / negan to rosita

nearly 200 writing prompts // feel free to reblog || @nghtmarish

SHE DOESN'T SPEAK A WORD, HER FEATURES FILLED WITH RAGE. Eyes burning into his very skin. ( If he isn't careful she might burn a hole in him. ) Her body is frozen where she stands, arms resting by her side with her fingers curling and uncurling till they squeeze tight, knuckles a ghostly shade of white. Lips pressed firmly together, teeth clenched. She wants to BEAT THE SHIT outta him, pistol whip the side of his face.... he deserves it after all, it's not like she's harming a victim. Negan was far from that. He caused many issues for her group. Killed those close to her.... she still can see the blurry images of him thrusting his barbwire bat towards her face. Screaming at her to look at it. It took every FIBER in her body not to leap at him and strangle the ever-living shit out of him. Wipe that stupid smile off his face and watch the life leave his eyes. It would have been pure bliss.

But that's not why she's feeling this way now. To say that Rosita softened up towards Negan would be a joke. Had nothing to do with him.... it did have everything to do with his daughter. Tilly. Saviors lost, Negan lived, meaning Rick welcomed many ex-saviors with open arms. No more blood spills or fellow friends and family turning into walkers. It ends now. At least that's what Rick said. BUT HOW did she get here ? Negan became a prisoner locked away in his cell. No one knew when he would be let out, or if he ever would.

That very cell might as well be his coffin.

Michonne would go down there, and a few others to deliver Negan food. Rosita never offered cause she never did care to see that MONSTER'S FACE again. But she found herself taking care of his daughter one day. Rosita didn't know why she suddenly took interest. It just happened. Something inside her felt almost broken. She would look at Tilly... see the lonely girl stick to herself. She knew Tilly heard the whispers, and saw the stares and Rosita couldn't imagine how it made the young blonde feel. She went up to Tilly one day... and the rest was history between them. Then Rosita started to take those stairs and take Negan food. She would tell him how Tilly was doing, tell him to behave, and leave. Every. Single. Day. She took those damn stairs. She hated that she got used to his face. She questioned herself when she began letting Tilly secretly come visit her dad....it wasn't every day and it wasn't long. But she would find ways to have the two have their little father-and-daughter moments. It was all for Tilly.

She showed Tilly all that she needed to know. Everything she didn't learn from her father, she taught her. And anything that her mother couldn't teach her, she taught her. She stepped in and brought the girl into her own home. Gabriel would read words of the bible to Tilly. Eugene will share his own words of wisdom. They'll watch over her as her own personal guardians. Life went on... Rosita had a baby, a little girl whom she called Coco. Tilly and Coco have this special little bond that makes Rosita's heart swim happily in her chest. Everything felt perfect, she almost forgot about the ugly out there. Not when her little family was growing right before her very eyes.

Till that day came and shit went south. Rosita knew Tilly well enough to know something wasn't right, the look on her face said it all. Negan asked Maggie to kill him. Maggie didn't, but Maggie delivered the message to Tilly without a thought, without knowing what this may lead to.

She still remembers Tilly's goodbye. It nearly destroyed her..... it did. SHE SHOULD HAVE BEGGED... why the fuck didn't she beg ? She let her go and now she's feeling hateful towards herself... and him. That's what got her here. It's been a few days since she last saw him. ( He doesn't know. ) HE DOESN'T KNOW that Tilly is gone. Rosita couldn't tell him right away because she was STILL trying to comprehend what just happened. Rosita's eyes shifted to the ground underneath them. She's standing before his PRISON.... she's reminding herself not to cry. Not not in front of him. She told him..... ( Tilly left. She doesn't want to be found. ) and his reply, it just sent the young woman into momma mode.

" Yeah, yeah you did fuck up. YOU always fuck up. When are you doing to stop, huh ? When are you going to stop fucking up all this shit, Negan ! WHEN ! HUH ?! " She throws his plate of food and steps dangerously close to the cell bars to get a better look at him. " Even if she didn't hear it from Maggie the fact is you were willing to just fucking die ! Like nothing ! Like some weak asshole who didn't have anyone waiting for him out here ! WILLING TO DIE while your child is out here ?! I don't fucking care if you prepared her just in case to live without you ! I don't fucking care ! I. Don't. Fucking. Care. The thing is.... you should not want that to happen. You shouldn't give up easily. You should have FOUGHT for your freedom ! For Tilly ! She's amazing. That girl. She is... wow. " A tear slips and Rosita quickly wipes it away.

"....You wonder why I care about her ? Because she's my family too, Negan. I got to know her and fuck. She is so great, and so loving ! And she's so smart. So, so smart. She IS like a daughter to me.... the amount of time I've spent with her, and getting to know her. I want Coco to be just like her when she grows up. I wanted Tilly and Coco to grow up together. But she left... she didn't want to be used against you. She's tired of this. She's hurt that her own dad wanted to leave her.... like she was nothing. So yeah... you fucked up. " She jeers. " Even locked in your little cell you still manage to fuck things up. "

‘blood is always family, but family doesn’t always have to be blood.’ / tilly to rosita

🌹⋆｡˚⁀➷ ❝ Blood doesn't always mean family. I know this from experience. Had a tio who was just... un imbécil egoísta. A selfish asshole. He was my mom's brother... couldn't stand the sight of him. We both had the same blood coursing through our veins... but he wasn't family. No. But this-- this right here. These people are my family-- ❞ TURNING HER HEAD TOWARDS THEIR LITTLE COMMUNITY, THE MANY FRIENDLY FACES THAT GRACED ALEXANDRIA. THE MANY FACES OF THOSE who have been through hell and back with her.

A tiny grin lifts at the corner of her lips as she turns her attention back to Tilly. Reaching for the younger girl's hand, entwining their fingers together, swinging playfully their hands together.❝ --and you're my family too. You're right that family doesn't always have to be blood. Look at you and me for example. I would kill for you.... and die for you. Because that's what I do for MY FAMILY. ❞ From the bottom of her heart, she means every word that is spilling out of her mouth. Looking at Tilly with PURE KINDNESS and not fear or anger like some of the people here. Rosita gets it though. Tilly being the daughter of Negan puts quite a big target on the younger girls back. Her father had CAUSED chaos among their people and treated them all like nothing.. like they were just his property. Negan took what he could, killed who he wanted, and made Rick to be another plaything to fuck around with. He was playing GOD with her people and that was embedded in their brains. Of course, Carl's death changed Rick's heart. Rosita didn't know what exactly was going on in that head of his.

But losing Carl was such a big loss...., the younger boy had wanted peace. This is why Rick spared the other Saviors' lives and Negan's. Along with Tilly, of course. Rick didn't want her dead. He didn't blame her. Neither did Rosita. When she looked at Tilly she didn't see Negan in the young blonde. She saw someone who needed guidance.

And with Negan locked away in his little prison Rosita decided to be the one to be there for the young girl. She didn't pay much attention to what the people were gossiping about. Hell, Rosita did the unthinkable thing, would roll her eyes every time she went down those shitty stairs. She would visit Negan to ask him about things that Tilly liked. And went on her way to fetch these things for the young girl. Offering her home to her, offering to teach her to do hair, and even having Tilly tag along on some of her supply runs. The more Rosita lets Tilly in, the more attached she becomes to Tilly Smith. She didn't see another Negan or some savior... she saw family. A daughter even in Tilly.
