This is the sequel (continuation) of After. Hardin and Tessa's relationship will be tested in ways she never expected, but he knew of all along.

She loved him and then she feared him. She was only fifteen when she met Tommy Murphy. When the two of them meet, the world suddenly stops and Mia doesn't even know when it all started. She was just a teenager in love but now she is fighting for her own life, unsure if it's physical or mental. She is now bruised and in pain.

She wasn't looking for redemption. He wasn't interested in salvation. A chance meeting leads to new alliances, but safety is only an illusion. Fate has made its move, but it will only carry them so far. After that you have to choose: fight or die. The world ended the day the dead rose. Can she build a life in what remains or is fate not done yet? (Daryl x OFC) ~ I tried to stay true to the characters, and with the addition of some original scenes, this will follow the TV show (eventually). There will be some minor and major changes along the way. Hope you like them. Enjoy!
