He starts to head out the door and I follow. His eyes follow mine as he opens the door, and holds it. "Quite the gentleman." I point out. He laughs and shrugs before answering me. "I try." He chuckles a bit more and it causes me to smile again. The boy catches up to where I'm walking. "I'm Carl by the way." He says, looking over at me. "Rylie." ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••All characters from the show belong to AMC's the walking dead.

Lauren Dixon, daughter of Merle Dixon. A young girl trying to survive in a zombie apocalypse realises the threats beyond the city, she soon sees the living are equally as harmful as the dead that surround them. - After surviving what felt like so long by herself, Lauren finds a group reluctant to take her in, this brings her closer to her family, but also closer to a young boy who she used to see as the enemy.

abusive parents. sleepless nights. bruises and scars. the endless pattern of Lauren's life, day in day out. it all seemed to be getting better in her eyes, but one boy saves her life in the new and cruel world they seemed to have awoke to. It's a long way home, and it's a disastrous world. can she finally trust someone?

He's the badass with a scary past. He doesn't talk about it and probably never will. He's the most closed of person in the world. Let's all face on fact, Daryl Dixon doesn't give a shit about nothing and nobody. It's just him and his brother. That's all it's ever been. She use to be sweet. She use to be innocent. She use to give a shit. She use to be the perfect girl, any guy could fall for. She was an Olympic Gold Medalist. But even before the apocalypse her life was shit. Now she's cold, cruel, and blinded by rage. She prefers to be alone, run her own show. She can't trust anyone and probably never will be able to. She only looks after her brother. But that's just how Harley J's ever been. But what happens when these two cross each others? **Disclaimer Alert: I do not own any of the characters on the television show The Walking Dead, they belong to AMC and the original author.
