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! I don't own/have any rights to TWD or its characters, scenes, etc. However, my characters (especially Alex) and the plot lines I have created are my own. Please do not plagiarize.

Daryl and Athena had been best friends since they were eleven years old. Daryl had been Athena's escape from hell that she called home. Being that kind of friend to someone; the person they run to when their mother has brought someone home and they tried something on you, the person they run to when their mother is drunk and not even questioning who she's about to hit, the person they run to when they're being picked on in school, the person they run to when they need a shoulder to cry on. That kind of friend could never leave. Until one day, he does. Athena's life unravels around her as her best friend and his big brother Merle send her off on a roller coaster of chaos. A roller coaster that takes her to the highest of buildings in New York, to the dirtiest of cells in America, from a plastic chair in the police station to a pew in a church, from school to buses traveling half the country and back. Athena has the weight of the world resting on her shoulders, but will she keep fighting, for her life, for that measly bit of hope she still has, for her best friends, for the one she truly loves or will she call it quits because God won't lighten the load or give her broader shoulders. But then again, who needs God when you have Daryl Dixon. #~#~# mature due to smut and softcore violence. (please dont read if you'd be uncomfortable with that) stick with me through the start it gets better:) there was once a sequel to this but i deleted it bc i hated it.

"look me in the eyes and tell me you love me"

Raven Walker is a Marine Sniper when she returns home to surprise her brother and honoree family. When she discovered the world she use to know a rotting and disgusting mess. She spends most of her time by herself trying to survive and find her family. That is till she finds herself helping to save a certain cop, who reunited her with her long lost family. She certainly wasn't expecting to fall in love in this new world. But a new world will bring unexpected surprises. What will these surprises bring her? "If I was to kiss ya' would you remember. Or would you push me away?" -Daryl Dixon THERE IS SOME STRONG LANGUAGE IF YOU'RE NOT OKAY WITH THAT OR OVERLY EASY OFFENDED DO NOT READ IT!!! I DO NOT own any of the TWD characters all that credit goes to those creators. The only character that I own is Raven Walker. I have already had people steal her from me and I will not tolerate that. Now if you want to do a side story for her message me. But don't try to be sneaky. Thank you so much darlings.

If I tell you to leave me, then damn it, you leave and you don't look back." "Daryl," she sighed softly, shaking her head. "No, I mean it," he argued, encircling her wrist and jostling her a bit, begging her to listen. "I can't lose you. Not like that, not ever." His words were like lava bubbling in his throat, everything he had fought so hard to conceal was quickly rising to the surface. Fuck it. Any fear of rejection was overpowered by his need to make her understand. It wouldn't change how he felt, or the fact that he'd take on a thousand walkers if it kept her safe for even one more millisecond. "I need you around, Ace." "Always." ------------------------------ *I do not own any characters, scenes, or scripts from The Walking Dead.
