❝When it was quiet, I didn't have to worry about a monster trying to make me its lunch. I did, however, have to worry about my wandering thoughts, and I'd have a different monster on my hands if I let them wander too far.❞ ↣ A virus has erupted, turning loved ones into mindless, ravenous, killers. Where the rest of the world sees madness, Kathryn Johnson sees opportunity. She runs from her immutable hell, disappearing into the trees of Northern Georgia. Little does Kathryn know, she hasn't escaped hell, rather swapped one for another. In a moment of unhampered curiosity, she stumbles upon a group that won't take no for an answer. Through these people, Kathryn finds herself examining the walls she's kept herself locked behind. After a lifetime of unknown, a question waits for her on the other side: Can the broken be fixed? ↣ { Featured in the @WalkingDeadRoadtoSurvival "Top Walking Dead Fanfiction" reading list } { ➊ The Walking Dead } { ➌ The Walking Dead Fanfiction } { ❺ Daryl Dixon }

This is not your typical "Beauty and the Beast" love story.

Bullied and abused for the majority of her life, Lacy White thinks nothing will ever get better. When her bully finds out about the abuse, he comes to her rescue. Or so she thinks. ©2013

Kashine Douglas is normal. Well, almost normal. She's mute. People bully her in school because of it, and her life seems like a living hell. The only thing that allows her to escape is YouTube. She posts videos of singers dancing along to their songs. Her videos are very popular, and she's becoming a rising star. Then One Direction calls to let her know she is their new choreographer. Terrified, Kashine accepts. How will the boys cope with her silence? Will they be able to help her? Or will Kashine stay mute forever? ***PLEASE READ: This is very carrot-y since I wrote it years ago, and I hardly knew anything about mute conditions. Please remember that it's fan-FICTION and should not be taken literally. Thank you for understanding. :) ***
