UNDER MAJOR EDITING Rusty Grimes: Rick and Lori Grimes' daughter who has an open heart and desperately will do anything for her restricted love with Daryl Dixon. Which sometimes means breaking the rules. If she sets her mind to something, anything can happen. So what happens when Rusty falls for a man barely a few years younger than her own father? And that Rick doesn't particularly like Rusty and Daryl's relationship? Is this the best mistake, or the worst she has ever made? Once a problem is solved, there always seems to be a new one that sometimes hurts her and Daryl's relationship. With new challenges and sacrifices Rusty makes through the shitty apocalypse, she learns one thing; love is heaven, but it can hurt like hell. Love has no limits...or does it? /// I own nothing off of The Walking Dead! Hope you enjoy!

It's hard to survive a world where everything wants to kill you. Every corner you turn, every decision you make, and every breath taken. There's always something lurking, something craving to end your life. But when the world absolutely goes to complete shit, what can you expect?

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.

*Featured in the official Wattpad @Fanfic The Walking Dead reading list. Daryl and Alice shared a small history together. As children he made a promise to protect her, but never made good on that promise. He lived with that guilt as she lived with the disappointment. Neither one of them expected to be brought back together again, especially at the end of the world. It would seem fate wasn't through with them, and they'd have to not only find their place in the new world, but their place with each other. I will try to stick to the main story plot, but I will most likely be tweaking some of it around. Also, I like when characters stay close to the same as the original idea, and as always, I do not claim any of those as my own. All original characters and story plots belong to AMC's The Walking Dead and all their wonderful writers.

Vulnerability should never equate to weakness. Amy Wilson had always relied on her older brother to keep her from harm. Even when the dead began to rise, this had not changed. She was not a fighter. Amy couldn't handle a gun, couldn't function around blood and gore, and certainly couldn't live with herself after killing another being; whether they were dead or living. After her brother was killed at the hands of a man named Rick Grimes, she was finally forced to learn how to protect herself, how to fight, and to be brave. There was only one man capable of teaching this; a hunter, Daryl Dixon. Cold, quiet, private and strong, he had no time for weakness. That was, of course, until he met Amy. - First TWD Watty Award Winner - Featured in the Official The Walking Dead : Road to Survival "Top Walking Dead Fanfiction" reading list - Featured in the Official Wattpad Fanfic "The Walking Dead" reading list - #8 in Buzzfeed's Official "19 Wildest Fanfics People Couldn't Stop Reading In 2015"

"Why are you doing this?" I grab his arm before he storms out the house, but he just shakes me off and keeps walking. "Daryl!" I scream before he can step off the tiny porch. He turns abruptly and storms back over to me. "What?! What do ye want from me?!" He screams, the veins in his neck pop out as he breathes hard. "I know you don't like me, but you can't always run away!" I point a finger at his chest and jab him as I say every word. "Like ye? Ye just don't understand!" He turns to walk away again but stops himself and turns back with a pained expression. "Mel, I love ye!" he screams. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Melinda Greene is 32 with straight blonde hair and big blue eyes.
