What We've Become | D. Dixon

Hollow eyes, sunken skin, and a set of hungry teeth: that's how the apocalypse changes most men. But Daryl Dixon and Shane Walsh are not most men.

//

Thea Walsh is trapped in the heart of darkness.

Before the world went to hell, she was a dancer; now she's a fighter, just struggling to survive. She used to rely on her older brother for protection, but he's beginning to crack: he's abusive, violent, and a danger to everyone around him, making Thea an easy target for his rage and frustration.

So she turns to Daryl for help, and the quiet archer defends her again and again and again. But when Shane accuses them of sleeping together, Thea is forced to make a choice. If she can convince Daryl to play along, Shane might just leave her alone, but if she foolishly abandons her brother to his downward spiral, the cost of his humanity might just be her life.

In the end, she knows she'll only have one chance to save the two men she loves, and in the aftermath she's afraid she'll inevitably be alone. But can she find the strength to carry on, and be what she's meant to become?
