[BOOK 2] [SEQUEL TO BORROWED TIME] "I lied when I told ya' I wasn't 'fraid of nuthin'," he muttered, his voice a low rumble against the night. The porch light cast eerie shadows across his face, revealing the tension in his jaw. "What are you afraid of?" I whispered, the soft creak of the porch swing the only other sound. The moon bathed the world in a silvery glow, illuminating the deep pools of his blue eyes. "'I'm 'fraid of losin' ya', Red." His voice was barely a whisper, a confession torn from the depths of his soul. --- 》Full Summary Inside 》Darly Dixon x OC 》Seasons 4-?

A teenage girl is thrown into the depths of the world's end, with only a father and a small group of survivors. But it just seems that issues keep arising and tragedies continue to chase her and the only person left to trust is the redneck with no loyalties. When faced with betrayal, loss and heartache, will she still remain the kind, caring girl she always has been? Or will the darkness swallow her in one drowning gulp. {Ambivalent - having mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about something or someone} OC ~ Charlotte Walsh OC x Found family OC x ??? <3 ‼️I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTERS OR PLOT LINES OTHER THAN THE ONES I MADE UP (Charlie) ‼️

Becoming isn't born from survival alone. It is forged in the ashes of endings, carved from the weight of beginnings, and sealed by the choices that mark your soul. The Angel of Death has faced the fall. She has tasted both betrayal and rebirth. But now, as shadows rise and loyalties fracture, the time has come to choose: Who will she become when the past no longer holds her, when the mask is stripped away, when power and purpose collide? This is not the story of who they made her to be- It is the story of who she dares to become.

Emma Johnson is a ghost of who she used to be-a former military operative hardened by war, betrayal, and the weight of too many ghosts trailing behind her. Her body bears the scars of battles fought long before the world ended, but it's the wounds on the inside that never seem to heal. Beneath her deadly precision and sharp tongue lies a heart that still aches to protect, to care-even when the world tells her it's foolish. With guns strapped to her hips and knives hidden in her boots, she walks through the wasteland with a fierce will to survive, refusing to let the past define her. Daryl Dixon has always known pain. Long before the world crumbled, before the walkers turned humanity into monsters, he had already survived a different kind of hell, a past that left him wary of trust, of love. Cold, distant, and quick to anger, he keeps people at arm's length, believing attachments are just another weakness in a world where nothing lasts. But beneath the hardened exterior, is a man who still longs for something more-even if he refuses to admit it. Their paths cross in blood and fire, two warriors who've spent their lives fighting-first for others, then for themselves. At first, they clash-her fire against his ice, her relentless teasing against his stubborn silence. But war doesn't allow time for walls to stay up forever. Through battles, close calls, and nights spent sharing stories they never thought they'd speak aloud, Emma and Daryl begin to see the truth in each other. He sees the kindness she hides beneath her steel. She sees the loneliness he buries beneath his cold exterior. Love in a world like this is dangerous. It's reckless. It's the kind of thing that gets you killed. But when the only certainty in life is death, maybe love is the one fight worth dying for. CROSSBOW AND ASHES is a story of survival, pain, and two lost souls who find home in each other-even when the world is burning.
