The reader is the (unbiological) middle sister of Maggie and Beth (In her early twenties). When Rick's group happens upon her farm, she takes an interest in Daryl Dixon. At first he doesn't give her the time of day but over time, they slowly fall for each other. This series follows along The Walking Dead story line but has quite a bit of canon divergence and a few twists here and there. The first chapter is set on the farm and I will be writing all the way up to the current season. This is my first series and my first time ever writing fan fics! I hope you all enjoy! Feedback is welcome. :) **TRIGGER WARNING** Each chapter has different warnings but just keep in mind that there are aspects that may be triggering.

It starts with a simple itch, nothing more. Maybe a few random spasms or the occasional shudder but you'll think nothing of it. Then you'll get blood shot eyes... Not enough sleep? It gets worse, much worse. The itching turns to scratching, clawing at you skin until it bleeds... and bleeds and bleeds. Then comes the anger which tips you over the top making you brake into a full blown seizure. Madness. You still with me? Well you won't be if they catch you, you'll be one of them...infected.
