Waking up. Usually it's a blessing, a gift from god to live another day. Now it seems more like a curse. Having to watch your back every step and basically await your gruesome death. Living till you're elderly and dying peaceful in your sleep doesn't happen anymore. You're either going to starve, get sick, or now get eaten by the undead. Was this a punishment from god for those who have sinned? No it can't be. My grandpa still wouldn't be here. My mom wouldn't be here. They were both saints. Me on the other hand is debatable. I've thought about ending it all, but they need me. They were the only ones keeping me sane and I'd do anything to protect them. Let me introduce myself. My name is Mae. Mae Roesch, I'm 23 and I live in this hellish world with my mom and my grandpa. Where's my dad you ask? Hopefully dead. I take care of my family now. I hunt, mom cooks and does laundry, and grandpa is the lookout. We actually got a pretty good system going on. It's the same routine everyday. Fight to stay alive.

Adelaide was not your average 23 year old. She grew up with a dark past, so fighting for survival was something she was used to, but she always had her brother Frankie to help her and care for her. However, Frankie was in Atlanta when shit had hit the fan and now is nowhere to be found, leaving Adelaide alone to fend for herself. When she stumbles across a group on the highway that takes her in, will they mend her old wounds? Or create new ones? (Im terrible at summaries)

Carly and her husband jordan have been married for 5 years before the apocalypse started. Jordan was a marine, but was now Atlanta's best lawyer. With a successful husband, nice house, loving families. The Matthews lives seemed to be perfect, but that was far from the case. Before and after the apocalypse. Now Carly is 6 months pregnant with their first child. Food is scarce and every second you're running for your lives. When they start to believe all hope is lost, a man with crossbow just so happens to make his appearance. but what will happen when the group finds out the secrets behind the happy couple? Will she even survive childbirth? What happens when a certain redneck suddenly seems to find a reason to live, but it's with a married woman?

Kayla and the group have gone through more than they every thought could happen. Dealling with the living and the dead. Always sleeping with one eye open, not trusting anyone new, and losing people they love. Its 5 years later. The twins and judith are now 5, carl is 17. Everything is going as well as it can for living in a zombie apocalypse, but for how long? And what happens when kayla is put in a situation that effects her whole family?

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.

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

Mysterious. Its a word that can discribe Sam. The torn, broken soul that couldn't be healed. It was like that until she meet him. It had been years since the last time she spoke. He had helped her through that and more. surviving and protecting the ones you love. Even if it might kill you.
