"I prayed for a reason to beat this world and God gave me her." ☼━━━━𐂂━━━━☽ Two teenagers - one, a gentle ex-ballerina who's never held a gun, and the other, a withdrawn "monster" that has a trail of ghosts behind him - both approaching the confines of adulthood and walking the tightrope between friendship and something much more complicated. *** Carl Grimes x female oc !!!

When the world ends, eight-year-old Caroline Grimes is still the kind of child who says please, thank you, and smiles through missing teeth. Sweet, gentle, and painfully easy to love, she is not built for the apocalypse. But long before the dead close in, Caroline is already unraveling under the weight of fear, loss, and the constant fracture lines inside her own family. As the world strips away everything that once made her feel safe, this is the story of how a little girl is changed-not all at once, but slowly, quietly, and for good. I do not own the walking dead or its characters! I only own Casey Grimes, all others all belong to AMC!
