Summary: Daryl wanted to go back to the prison, back where he belonged, but he didn’t get the chance when he and his brother ran into Negan. At first, they refused to join the new group, but not being able to withstand the pressure, the brothers eventually became part of it, and Daryl even became Negan's right-hand man. He would never have thought he would see Carol again, until she and his old group were suddenly on their knees in front of him.

I've always promised myself I don’t want or need a second WIP and here we are ... I just couldn’t help it!

3. Chapter 3 - On The Brink by BettyBubble [Reviews - 16] (3925 words)
Here we are again with a new chapter. There is only one chapter and the epilogue left on my other story "Don’t Kiss!", so I'll take my time with it. Maybe I don’t want it to end.
Warnings for Negan's language and sexual assault (no actual touching on his part … frankly, there is NO touching, but I’m at a loss as to how to explain it) by him at the end.

I was planning to finish my Challenge Story He Liked Her First before coming back to this story, but my muse had other plans, so I worked on this story and wrote my first Oneshot Beneath The Surface. 
A bucket of hugs for my beta CharlotteAshmore for her great edit!
