~~ The book is separated by each season of TWD, so if you have a favorite season you can chose to read Kelley's story from there ~~
A virus broke out across the globe, reanimating the dead and creating mass chaos. In a matter of days, half of the world's population was either dead or turned. The government collapsed, TV and radio stations shut down, and everyone was left to fend for themselves.
Kelley lost everything in the beginning. Her family, her house, even her small hometown in the state of Georgia. So she decided to leash up her dog, a Belgian Malinois named Bud, gather some supplies, and head towards Atlanta.
She encounters a small group along the way. Survivors just like her, with stories and losses of their own. She soon becomes close to them, feeling like she has found another family, and she will do anything to protect them.
This is a story of lost, love, survival, and surprises. The world doesn't care that you are alone, doesn't care if you're hungry, and doesn't care that death lurks around every corner. The undead feed on the living and the living can't be trusted.
As the days pass and the world she knew was gone, she keeps a record of everything that has happened since first night. In a world where previous history is long forgotten, Kelley believes it is necessary to write down her journey and keep track of all things apocalyptic, so that maybe one day it will help others learn how to survive... and not make the same mistakes she has.
So, let's start at the beginning.
"Are you trying to get me drunk, officer?"
"What if I am?"
Thirty-two-year-old office worker, Elaina Heart was all alone on the streets of Atlanta when a man in a sheriff's uniform trots down the road on a horse.
She decides to join him on his mission to find his family because she doesn't want to be left behind.
The two run into a massive hoard that cuts them off. They are forced to hide inside an abandoned tank on the now busy streets.
Just when they think all hope is lost, a man's voice comes over the radio.
He rescued them and the two join a new group on the outskirts of Atlanta.
What happens when Elaina begins to fall for the married man?
What happens when he starts to discover feelings for her too?
And what happens when his wife finds out?

TW!! Mentions of death, suicide, SA, blood, harsh language and gore.
Note #1: 90% of all characters and storylines all are based off of the TV Show and comic series The Walking Dead. I do not take credit for these characters.
Note #2: Some storylines are changed to better fit my ideas for how this story will go. Not everything will be like how you see on tv.
Note #3: There is smut in this book. I wasn't originally planning on it but due to popular demand, there is a handful of smutty chapters that will be appearing. You're welcome.
Note #4: This book was originally named "Sheriff's Lover ||| Rick Grimes x Reader (TWD x Reader)" but after further review, I decided to turn Y/N into an OC. I'm sorry if this comes as a surprise to some of my older readers.
Started: January 17th, 2023.
Changed from x reader to OC on: December 3rd, 2024.
