"I promise I won't shank you with my pocket knife"
The boy didn't budge or break eye contact. Begrudgingly, Spencer let out a heavy sigh and gave up the small knife. The boy scanned her once more for weapons and once satisfied finally lower his. He looked down at the girl's face, besides one cut on her cheek which was most likely gained from their fight with the undead, she didn't have a scratch on her, unusual for someone on the road.
The boy opened the girl's pocket knife swiftly to inspect it. It was as dull as a butter knife and no doubt difficult to fight with. Someone with more experience wouldn't carry such a weapon. She wasn't a fighter. He took his attention off the knife, once again focusing on the girl behind it as he handed it back to her.
She pursed her lips and shot the boy a skeptical look.

Silent Fuse · TWD
In a world full of danger lurking in every corner, Birdie Jackson stayed silent. Learned to keep quiet during the loud, be angry when shown the good. The apocalypse had ripped her out of her childish manners and into a world full of knife-wielding and blood-soaked hands. The woods became her and her father's sanctuary, their car that was running out of fuel being the only thing holding them together. Foods stolen from abandoned houses began to empty out, their chance of survival slim with every passing day. So, Vincent left to go on a run. But he didn't come back. It took three long, excruciating weeks before Birdie left the car - with only a knife for protection and determination fuelling her forward. That was the day she lost something, and gained something else. Something that would not only make her find her voice again, but fill that hole in her chest that had been once carved into her by loss and grief. ꜱɪɴᴄʟᴀɪʀꜱ © 2025 ꜱᴛᴀʀᴛᴇᴅ. 26 / 01 / '25 ꜰɪɴɪꜱʜᴇᴅ. ?? ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇꜱ ꜱᴇᴛ ɪɴ ꜱᴇᴀꜱᴏɴ 3.

Tough (Daryl Dixon x Reader)
"Clara, mommy needs you to stay absolutely quiet. If you don't stay quiet, we will die. Do you understand?" "Yes mommy." • Luckily, you'd had your daughter before the end of the world. She got through her "crying every 30 seconds" stage before the dead started walking. Now, at 7 years old, she knows better than to make noise when you're out on the road. One night while you were sleeping, Clara decided to sneak out on her own. You spent days searching for her but you couldn't find her anywhere. You went without food and water trying to find her. On day 6 of searching, you collapsed against a tree, exhausted and crying. But a redneck male carrying a cross bow discovered you. And from there, everything changed. ❗️I do not own any of the characters from The Walking Dead or their corresponding stories and characteristics. I only own my character, her daughter, and their story line. 🏅HIGHEST RANK - #2 in #canondivergence 7/7/21 🏅#6 in #daryldixon 7/21/21 🏅#7 in #carolpeletier 8/31/21 🏅#16 in #daryl 9/30/21Complete
