[set in the third season]

"That's okay, Zach," I replied as I glanced over at my brother, "We all die someday."

---

It was Kayla Easton's 21st birthday on the day the world as everyone knew it came to a brutal, hellish end. Her parents are gone, and all she has left in the world is her older brother, Zach, her best friend, Jessie, Tina the grocery store cashier, and Danny, a random farm boy from her hometown.

Now almost 23, Kayla has formed a new family with her crew, and they have thrived through survival, becoming almost unstoppable in combat.

Now, the group of five has their sights on something golden; a safe, locked down, heavy duty prison. There's only one problem... it's already inhabited. But, the chance is just too good to pass up.

So, when Kayla and her crew prove their worth to Rick and his skeptical group, they're given the chance to be part of something bigger... and a certain someone begins to take interest in Kayla.

Big changes begin to unfold as the two groups intertwine... and nothing will ever be the same again.

The Walking Dead X Male OC: Season 3 by Freedom_Fighter24
15 parts Complete Mature
Eight months after the farm got overrun, Hunter, Rick, and their group look around, trying to find the perfect place to hold up in, but they never had the time to settle and rest as a group of walkers would show up after an hour or so. While taking a break from traveling, Hunter, Rick, and Daryl would go off on their own, hunting for food until they come across a prison, large enough to keep them safe despite walkers taking a majority of the space inside it. Even though they would clear out the prison at the entrance, they still had a long way to go until they finally cleared out a holding cell block for them to stay in. However, they feel more safe than they did on the move for the past eight months. The question is: are they really?

"How did you know Merle?" "He saved my life. He saved me from somebody I loved." --- Ryan Melody Greene has not had the best life. She's not beautiful, like her twin sister, Maggie Greene nor does she have an amazing voice, like her stepsister, Beth Greene. Worst is, her boyfriend of three years, Rob, suddenly turns abusive. One day, it seems to be the end. Who would expect that the seemingly heartless, eldest Dixon brother to save her life? An unlikely friendship forms, and Ryan is given the nickname "L'il Sparky". When the world seems to end, Ryan decides to put up some mental walls. Those walls stay firm and stoic until a man in a sheriff's uniform and his friend with a shotgun run to her house with an injured boy in their arms. Ryan believes that she's unbreakable. But maybe the youngest Dixon can break her walls down. Maybe she can break his. I DO NOT CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF "THE WALKING DEAD" TV SHOW OR COMICS! For the record, Wattpad is doing this weird thing where the Prolouge comes after the first two chapters. I'd recommend skipping forward, reading that, then reading the actual story. I'm sorry for any inconvenience. ***AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED***

-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 5 (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.

"You know, I think everyone who's ever loved me is dead." "That makes two of us. Fuckin' cheers." When the dead rose, Hope Tremblay found herself trapped, woefully unprepared for the rapidly changing world before her, and worst of all, alone. Day by day, week by week, she somehow stayed alive, clinging to the idea that she could survive, but unsure of how to do so. When she meets a group of survivors, she sees a chance to be something more, to actually live in this new undead world. With no family and no friends, Hope finds herself just as alone in her new group. When she meets Daryl Dixon, she senses a kindred spirit beneath the rugged, asshole exterior he displays to the world. When two lonely people meet at the end of the world, an unlikely friendship blossoms into more. Book One in the Daryl's Angel Trilogy Highest Ranking: #97 in Fanfiction Original fanfic featured in the official Wattpad @Fanfic The Walking Dead Reading List *NOTE: THIS IS A REWRITTEN VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL DARYL'S ANGEL FANFICTION PUBLISHED IN 2014!

Story starts right after the incident at Hershel's barn but does not follow the story line of the show after that. The main character is a young woman named Nora who at first has developed feelings for Glenn after he was the one who helped get her out of the city. When she realizes she's held on to her feelings too long, she quickly starts to feel lost. Nora is somewhat of a trouble magnet but most of all she just wants to find her place in this new world. Along the way, she finds comfort in an unlikely person. (I do not own the original art for the cover) {I started this story back in December 2011 on Tumblr and although it didn't get the fan following that I had always hoped for, it did well in it's own way. It had loyal followers and I got comments on how much readers loved it. I thought I would try posting it on Wattpad to see what becomes of it. The story is completed on Tumblr and as I bring it over here, I'm also doing small rewrites to the story. There are scenes that I needed to cut out and change up just because my view of things has changed as well and I wanted this story to reflect that. I really hope it finds the same love as it did on Tumblr and if you're interested in reading the original version you can go here:https://newinadeadworld.tumblr.com}

❝Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips, We should just kiss like real people do.❞ Casey \c(a)-sey\ "alert, watchful" Casey Jenner has been with her father, locked up in the CDC, since the outbreak. After seeing her father's colleges, and even her own mother perish to flesh eating monsters, she stops kidding herself and starts training for the day she gets out of the facility and has to face the real world. Although that day might have to come sooner than she'd like, everything starts to sink in as she decides to ignore her father and ask Vi what the countdown on the wall means. Casey doesn't really want to face the outside world, especially since her father seems so keen on staying until the end, but she also doesn't want to die in that building at the young age of twelve. All she finds herself doing is training, waiting, and hoping that something happens. So, when Rick Grimes and his group enter the CDC wanting help, it seems like her prayers were answered. Leaving the building and stepping into a walker-infested world after losing what's left of her family isn't the easiest thing to do, but she has a new group of people ready to help her. But still, something for the pain would always help, and the boy with the pretty eyes seems like a good enough distraction. DISCLAIMER: All rights go to AMC, Robert Kirkman, Frank Darabont, Gale Anne Hurd. I only own Casey Jenner and her plot lines, nothing else. And concerning GIFS, none of them are mine. If you see one that belongs to you, message me so I can give you credit, or (if you want) take it down.
