Holding her unconscious body in my arms. Blood soaking my clothes as I fall to my knees but I don't let her touch the ground. My hands hold her tight to my body as the anger is rising within me and the beast inside me is threatening to unleash its wrath on the world. I will not lose her. "You will not die, Leanna" I whisper to her as I hold her close to my body but like she is, I'm losing the fight of life. Like a fucking poet. That's how insanely she affects me. I would go to the ends of the world for her. Only for her.

In this one moment the two of them were at peace. They were in each other's arms and had nothing to fear from anything. Once again they had found themselves dying in each other's arms but at least they were together. At last, they were together. They were not prepared to die. No, they wanted to live. Their love wanted to live. They hold onto each other and life itself. His eyes meet hers, and she gives him a smile. As if to tell him that they're going to be all right. "I love you" She whispers. "I love you" He whispers.

Nobody ever thought this would happen. The dead have risen and are roaming the earth - desperate for their next meal.It's a gruesome world, and young doctor, Emma James is simply surviving like the rest of them. She's been alone for so long, until she wasn't. She finds a man bleeding out in a ravine, and she is left with no choice but to save him. Daryl Dixon is the first person Emma comes across that wasn't trying to eat her, and she wasn't about to let him slip through her fingers. The pair are thrown together in unfortunate circumstances, finding death and despair around every corner. Daryl Dixon had always been a loner, and he had no idea how much his life would change just by meeting her.

"You really wanna know why I shove every guy away," I shouted in anger at the one man I thought I'd never fall for. I watched as he just stared at me, unsure if he really wanted to know. "This is why," I said turning my back to him and lifted up my shirt, revealing the stab wound I had received from the last man I thought I loved, "this could've happened to my daughter! To my Maddie! This is why I don't trust men anymore!" [Important]: I've entered this story in the Wattys 2015. please help me out by voting for this story and sharing it with your friends!
