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.

Raised by a drug addicted, single father and his crossbow-wielding brother, dealing with hunger, lack of sleep, and no real place to call home, Valerie had a lot on her plate. And that was before the dead started walking.

" here's to the naive belief that human beings are inherently good " - THE WALKING DEAD, SEASONS 1-3 - Coughing involuntary, I could feel the last bit of air being forced from my lungs. Blood splattered against the pavement as an iron taste filled my mouth. The sound of something hard clinking against the ground caused me to try and focus, my vision still reeling while I squinted my eyes at the white and red object. Every single nerve in my body was screaming to throw a punch. Instead, I curled my fingers around the metal of my bat and dragged it closer. "I think you get the point. Stop asking me questions, and pick up your fucking gun." || UPDATES: 2 OR MORE CHAPTERS A WEEK ||

In the aftermath of a world gone to hell, Daisy Simmons reunites with her loose cannon boyfriend from high school, Daryl Dixon, as they fight to survive the apocalypse. Haunted by the tragedies of their lives before the outbreak and facing the new dangers of the undead, their bond is tested as they protect one another and find the family they never had.

Elena Monroe was supposed to be starting nursing school. Eighteen, driven, grieving-but healing. Her father had passed from leukemia a year earlier, and all she wanted was to make him proud. Then the world ended. She and her mother packed up the car with her little sister Ivy, hoping to escape Georgia and reach the safety of Atlanta. But what started as a desperate plan shattered on the roadside-when her mother suffered a heart attack behind the wheel. With no emergency services, no help, and only a few months of first aid training, Elena was forced to make an impossible choice. She buried the woman who raised her and drove away with a shell-shocked eleven-year-old in the passenger seat. Gridlock stopped them just outside the city. Walkers flooded the highway. And Elena-bleeding, exhausted, and breaking-stumbled across a group of strangers: Shane Walsh. Lori and Carl Grimes. Carol, Sophia, and Ed Peletier. They took her in. Protected her. Called her strong. But Elena never felt strong. Just awake when everyone else was still dreaming. The quarry became a fragile safe haven. Ivy found laughter again. Elena found purpose. But in a world where everyone turns after death, she'll soon learn... she's not like the rest. In a world built on death, what happens to the girl who won't rot?

Both fathers took charge leading their respective communities. Both younger sons stayed by their father's side and did as they were told, while the elder ones tried to keep the peace inside. And when both mothers met their fate the fathers took the world by storm. In another world they most likely would've gotten along, but as they were just so similar it's truly no wonder why they hated each other so much. ༻❁༺ (Featured on the Wattpad Tik Tok Trending Reading List!)

Callie Walsh was never meant to be part of the end of the world. The daughter of Shane Walsh and the result of a one-night stand, she lived her life split between two homes-caught between her father's chaotic presence and the stability of the Grimes family. Born just three months apart from Carl Grimes, Callie grew up alongside him like a sibling. But when the world fell apart, she was with her mother... and Shane didn't look back long enough to find her. Locked inside her home with her mother Stephanie, Callie waited as the dead took over the streets. When their food ran out, Stephanie left to search for supplies-and never came back. Alone, starving, and terrified, nine-year-old Callie made the only choice she could: find her way to the Grimes' house two streets over. But Lori and Carl were already gone. Broken and alone, Callie thought all hope was lost-until Rick Grimes stumbled through the door, barely alive but determined to protect her. Together, they set out to survive the impossible. Yet in a world where nothing is simple and no one is safe, Callie must learn that family isn't always who you're born to... and survival comes at a price.

Emery Hart lost everything the day the world fell apart - including the only person she couldn't live without. Alone and guarded, she's learned how to keep going. Feeling? That's a luxury. Then she meets Daryl Dixon - sharp-tongued, rough-edged, and just as broken. In a world overrun by the dead, they weren't looking for each other. But somehow, surviving doesn't feel so lonely anymore. "You just push everyone away, Daryl." "Ain't pushin' you. If I was, you'd already be gone." "I wouldn't even give you the chance."
