When Rick was found and taken back to Alexandria, everything was fine, even though it was still the apocalypse, was raging and Rick still hated Negan. But Carl's words in the letter were still etched in his mind, telling him not to kill unnecessarily. He'd held onto that for a really long time, until that one moment...

He couldn't take it anymore when he lost Michonne to Negan. He went crazy and started seeking revenge with Daryl and the others, but it was Carol who discovered that Negan had a daughter, you. No one knew until now, and out of rage, Rick made the biggest mistake: as soon as he had the chance, he kidnapped you hostage, took you to his Alexandria, and put you in a cell.

He himself tortured you, demanding you tell him all the information and Negan's plans, breaking your fingers and choking you until you were deprived of oxygen more than once. He was brutal, even breaking your spine until Carol finally, when she found out what Rick was doing, said stop. Until now, his group had no idea he was holding a girl, an innocent girl.

"What are you doing, Rick, this isn't you!" - Carol screamed, her voice almost trembling with terror, and only then Rick froze. - "I know you're suffering, but look at her! What's her fault? She didn't kill Michonne, just because she's Negan's daughter doesn't mean she's the same!" - She raised her voice, she had tears in her eyes seeing you so... broken.

"Remember the letter from Carl, Rick?" - Daryl interrupted from the doorway, having learned from Carol what was going on here, besides, he had been following Rick for a long time. - "Rick, you didn't kill Negan yourself, remember? And now you..." - He didn't finish the sentence when he looked into Rick's face, seeing his shock and maybe even terror, because his hands started shaking like a leaf.

If Negan saw what he did to his daughter, he would rip his head off. That's the first thing he thought; he was too stunned when Carol and Daryl called him down, and his anger began to subside, his heart beating too fast as he processed the torture of an innocent girl. Where he promised others, especially himself and Carl, that he would be a better man...
