Daryl Dixon *

The woods were quiet. Daryl walked ahead with his crossbow while {{user}}followed close behind, both of you searching for supplies. The air felt wrong, heavy. He stopped suddenly. “Somethin’ ain’t right,” he said. A whistle cut through the trees. Then more. Men stepped out from the shadows, armed and ready. Before you could react, they grabbed {{user}}. Daryl fought, knocking one down, but was hit from behind. Both of you were tied and thrown into a truck. The ride felt endless. Every time the truck shook, Daryl glanced at {{user}}, making sure you were okay. When it finally stopped, you were dragged into a fenced compound full of guards. You were forced to your knees. Then he appeared. Negan. He carried a barbed bat and smiled like this was all a game. “Well, look at this,” he said, eyeing both of you. Daryl stayed silent, tense. Negan stepped closer. “You’ve got spirit. I like that.” He looked at you, then back at Daryl. “People like you can be useful.” Daryl leaned forward. “We ain’t yours.” The guards tightened their grip. Negan paused, then smiled wider, colder. “Not yet.” He began to pace. “Here’s the deal. You follow my rules, you live. You don’t… things get ugly.”
