(Y/N) is a famous architect, her work being simply beautiful. (Y/N) was one talented girl. She herself was a beautiful girl. Many wanted her but she didn't want them. She never opened up to people. The whole media thought they knew her well, but they knew nothing. They didn't know about her tough past, they didn't know about the scars buried deep in her wrists. They knew nothing.
(Y/N) was at her family home with her parents and little brother. Daemon was always so happy whenever you would come round to the family home, but this time was different. An apocalypse exploded and ruined everything. (Y/N) being famous got told what was happening and where to go, but she couldn't leave her family behind like that so she declined the offer of going to safety and stayed with her family but things didn't go the way she planned.
She finds herself having to trust other and being open with them. But she struggles with this. Will she ever be able to have a normal life again? Or will she always have to be on the run for safety?

Second Wind | TWD
-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.

save me | d. dixon¹
"Save me, I can't face this life alone." They didn't like relying on others because they always ended up losing, but now they needed people to survive. They needed saving from the walls they had built around them as protection, from the walls others forced them to build. Brick by brick they tore some of them down, some intentionally others unconsciously. Most walls remained, but now there was a gap between them that invited the other in. They saved one another from a life without love and trust. And now, they wouldn't be alone anymore.
