"Every eldest daughter is the first lamb to the slaughter" I never thought I'd meet him, a boy who cared. A boy who wanted me as much as I wanted him. Someone who cared. Someone who might just love me. If there was one thing I wanted, it was love. Not the lust kind of love. Not the forced kind of love. The 'I love you and I chose to' kind. The soft kisses at night and hand to hold when you feel scared. The shoulder to cry on. And he gave that to me. He gave me everything. ♤♡♤ I've been alone since my dad left me in an animal trap. Father of the year, right? I know not to trust anybody. That was a lesson learned a long time ago. So you know what happened when I got found by a man and his son, looking ugly, crying in a ditch? And then meet a police officer who is trying to find his family. "I have a son about your age, it'd be nice for you two to be friends" that's what Rick Grimes said to me a few days before I went with him to Atlanta to find his family. I guess I learn that some people may just be trustworthy. I might even find a family. And I might just finally feel safe, not broken. I might grow, I might break. All with the help of a certain boy in a sheriff's hat. Wanna know how all that happens? Keep reading. You're in for a wild ride. Because this is a story of death, sacrifice, zombies, sarcasm, and learning to sleep with a knife under your pillow. But most importantly, love And you might ask how I found the "L" word in the apocalypse... That's for you to find out. And for me to tell you. Bit by bit, piece by piece, little by little, and chapter by chapter. Good luck, and don't get bit before you finish the story, because this girl doesn't tell it twice.

The Great War is over. Carl has moved to Hilltop. Everything is finally perfect, right? --------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first work on Wattpad so if anyone has any feedback that would be much appreciated!

I gasped staring wide eye at Carl as he pressed my body against the kitchen counter. He trapped me in his arms and his cold blue eyes stared into my grey ones. He seemed angry and-confused? He cursed under his breath and he pressed his face to the space of my neck. He clenched his hands into fists and hit the counter in fusteration. I whinched and I felt afraid of what he might do next. "What are you doing to me?" He growled and I stiffened from his words. "W-what?" My voice wobbled as I tried to swallow the lump in my throat. He pulled his face away from my neck and his face was then really close to mine. His nose brushed mine and my heart kicked into overdrive. His left hand touched my cheek as his thumb stroked my lower lip. His cheeks flushed and some how I became relaxed. "You're driving me crazy.." My eyes widened in shock. Wait what?! Next thing I know his lips met mine and sparks began to fly. "Be mine..be mine forever-Lena Lockwood.." ~~~~~~~~~~~~❤️❤️❤️❤️~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THIS IS A FAN FICTION!!! ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNERS!! ((the producers, directors, writers of the walking dead)) I OWN NOTHING!! EXPECT FOR LENA AND HER GROUP, PLUS THE PLOT!!

This book is based on The Walking Dead And Carl Grimes. I hope you enjoy, I wanted to try something new because I've been watching the show for years now and just recently started watching again so now I decided to write a book about it. Some events that happened in the show are going to be in the book but with my own twist :) Enjoy !
