-ˏˋ ꜰᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ, ɪ'ᴅ ꜱᴛᴇᴀʟ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀʀꜱ.ˊˎ- Elodie Price had never heard the soft breeze of the wind or the sound of birds singing in the trees. After losing her older brother and her mother, the world had become grey. Ten years old, and already the universe had stripped her of everything. She couldn't see any reason to keep moving, no one to protect her. The Walkers would find her soon enough. With her hearing loss, she wouldn't even hear them coming. She could barely hear the world screaming around her. Her mother had always been harsh - never quite satisfied with anything Elodie did - and her brother distant. The little bits of love that trickled through, the faint scraps of affection, always seemed to slip through her fingers like water. She didn't belong. Not to them, not to anyone. So when she had come to the conclusion that maybe it was her turn to go, she never expected anyone to care. She never expected anyone to save her. Certainly not someone like Daryl Dixon. 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰; ©𝙙𝙞𝙭𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙: 𝙛𝙚𝙗. 𝟭𝟮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙: - updates set in season 4 (the earlier chapters truly suck in my opinion, so once you get to like chapter 10 or so it gets better :,P) DISCLAIMER: I do not own The Walking Dead, or its storyline. I only own my orignal characters.

Estella Brandy, a strong, brave six year old girl that was left alone to die in the apocalypse by her mother. Thinking that she wouldn't be able to survive with a child, she took off in the middle of the night and left Estella alone. However, Daryl Dixon, a redneck that had been spending all of his time looking for a missing little girl, finds her in her house. Scared, alone, with nothing but her dog for protection. He takes her back to the rest of his group, thinking that they would take care of her. What he wasn't expecting was for the girl to get attached to him, and himself to get attached to her. ★ lowercase intended ★ includes many sensitive subjects ★ ranked #1 in daryldixon, #1 in thewalkingdead ★ completed november 3rd 2023 © superluvsick | 2023 season 2 - 10 the walking dead x found family [the exit] i request that you do not copy my work, you can be inspired by it, but please give me credits. cover by dixonsrose

When the dead rise to feast on the living, it becomes nearly impossible to keep yourself, and your family, safe from anything. For Daryl Dixon, that statement couldn't have been more true. As the apocalypse turns the world into a cruel, cruel place, all he can think of is keeping his daughter safe. He may not show it, but he'd do anything, give up anything, to keep her safe, and he knows she'll do the same for him. They would die for each other. But, in this hostile, sadistic world full of walkers, weapons, explosions, cannibals, dictators, and death, can these two Dixons keep themselves, and their relationship as father-and-daughter, from falling apart?
