My name is Angel Grimes, and I'm twenty-two years old.
The day the world went to hell, I was sitting at home with my dad and Shane, waiting for Mom and Carl to come back from the store. It was supposed to be a normal day. Dad was being Dad, Shane was teasing me like always, and I was counting down the minutes until the house stopped feeling too quiet.
Then the news went crazy.
Reports of attacks. People biting each other. Hospitals filling up. The dead getting back up.
At first, none of it made sense. Then the sirens started. The streets turned dangerous. Neighbors became monsters. And suddenly, waiting for Mom and Carl wasn't just waiting anymore.
It was surviving.
My dad, Rick Grimes, would do anything to keep me safe. Shane Walsh had always been my protector, my safe place, the one person I ran to when everything got too loud. But when the world fell apart, everything between us changed. Lines blurred. Feelings got harder to hide. And in a world full of walkers, fear, and betrayal, Shane became the one thing I refused to lose.
They call me Angel.
But angels can fall.
And when they do, they learn how to fight.
