Daryl was the man. Daryl took care of everything. The man with the cross bow. That's the only side people saw of him. He never showed his emotions. Never cried in front of anybody. Rarely smiled. "You're not capable of loving anyone." they told him. "No wonder people don't hang around you." "God forbid you let someone get too close." Little did they know that he was capable of all those things. About 3 years into the apocalypse they came across a girl in the woods, named Olivia, and decided to let her tag along with the group. Daryl almost instantaneously fell for her. But, he just kept it to himself like he would anything else. All Daryl knew was that he would do anything for Olivia. He would bleed out for her.

Life is broken. That's the only way to explain this damned world. You can't do anything without second guessing your decision, you think that what ever you do is wrong and I can't even count the number of times I've lost my morales. I've had to do things that you should only have to see in the movies. Killing should only be something you hear on the news, but now I don't get a day without hearing people cry and whimper for help or mercy. The world is broken, and it's all thanks to the damned corpses that rise up everyday and chow down on the living. The only reason I haven't given up hope, the only reason I haven't stopped fighting, the only reason I haven't sent a bullet through my brain is because of one thing. This thing that keeps me going, this thing fuels my body, this thing that makes me fight these diseased ridden freaks, is love. The love I have for my family and friends is the only thing that's kept me here, it's the only reason I walk the earth with the dead. Included among my family and friends is the biggest reason I didn't die at the beginning, he's one of the biggest reason's why I protect the prison with my life. This man that saved my life countless times is my broken saviour, this man is none other than my redneck.

**currently editing which is why it's ongoing but I won't be publishing the new chapters till I'm done** I do not own any characters from TWD T.V show or comic book. I only own those that I created.

When the hot-headed Daryl Dixon fell from a ravine looking for Sophia, he was saved by an unusual heroine: the cold and stoic Emyli Evans. This convergence makes an unfeeling strange girl and a short-tempered redneck walking together in the midst of the dead seems not so unlikely anymore.

One infection causes the society to crumble like a cookie. No military, no economy, no leaders, nothing. No one is coming to save you, no one is there to help. Everyday is a struggle for Mariah Beckon, her adopted brother and sister not making it any easier. When the trio cross paths with a group from Atlanta, she meets the people who she belongs with, her family. As the group of people fight to survive, Mariah falls head over heels for one man in particular. No matter how hard she tries she just can't seem to forget that redneck. This is a story of many things: love, betrayal, hatred, death, but the most important of all, surviving. I do not own any of AMC's The Walking Dead characters, however everyone else mine, do not copy ANYTHING please. @Copyright 2013.

Kayla had a regular life before all this. A loving mother, a father who even though they didn't get along all the time, loved her dearly, and a 16 year old brother who was her best friend in the entire world. But when the apocalypse starts its all different. Her moms gone. Her brothers lost and her dad gets bit, but before he goes 2 men find them. One in a sheriffs hat and the other a redneck with a crossbow. Before her dad dies he makes Rick promise to take care of kayla like she was his own and he plans on keepin it. But for how long? Will he still be there when he finds out her secrets? And how will daryl take it having his walls broken down so easily by this girl? Will he fight his feelings or will he surrender and do anything to protect her? A/N Story will follow the walking dead events, but some may be out of order and some people may live longer

Again, I do not own ANY of the Walking Dead characters except for the ones that I created.

Kat and her five year old, Hailey, wake up to find that the world has ended. All alone. Thanks to Hailey's father for teaching Kat how to survive, they have been able to survive this long without a group. But how long can you go without anyone to watch your back? Will they find a group and finally get a somewhat decent night of sleep? Finally feel safe again? What will they do when Kat runs into an old friend? Bringing back lots of memories and hidden feelings.
