"The day we met, frozen I held my breath. Right from the start, I knew that I found a home for my heart" I sing as my hands brush through Edwards hair. A smile makes it way to his face as his closed eyes slightly twitch from his face's movement. One step closer.......

On the surface they should not work. Daryl Dixon was tough as they came: a loner, a tracker and hunter, life had taught him that needing anyone was a weakness, but she got through his walls somehow, without even trying. Reyna Jenner was a walking contradiction he couldn't figure out. She was brilliant but kind, fierce but gentle, tough but shy and quiet. And when he looked at her it sparked every protective instinct he never thought he had. She saw through the anger and swagger to the damaged but good man beneath and with every moment they were together she made him want more... ...When the CDC exploded it took the very last of Reyna's family with it, but she has found a new place to belong with this unlikely group of survivors. Her new family is broken and damaged, but fiercely loyal to each other, and perhaps most important, it contains the one person who makes her feel like she can hope for a better tomorrow again. Is it possible to build a future in the wreckage of the old world? Daryl Dixon makes her hope so... A/N Under pretty much constant editing... 😩

Elena's twin sister, Ember, (younger by 12 minutes) Is the responsible, levelheaded sister. Shy and bookish, she is very close to their younger brother Jeremy. And despite what everyone else and her common sense say she can't help but love Damon Salvatore. Something in him calls to her and even when he pushes her away, acts rashly and violently towards others and does horrible things. she loves him. But she knows she has to guard her heart before he breaks it. Can she ever convince him that she is not going to abandon him because of the way he behaves and that he deserves love and happiness. Damon is drawn to Ember like he never has been to another woman in 180 years, not even Katherine. Her kindness, cleverness and loyalty fascinate him, but he is convinced he can never be worthy of her. Stefan has always been the golden child, the one everyone loved and wanted, but amazingly it was him that Ember wanted. Can he be the man she deserves and prove to her that he will always be there for her.
