Savannah born CJ Jefferson, 33 years of age when the dead rose and the living began to fall.
Her father, a former corporal in the army, raised his 2 children to be able to survive and adapt to any and all situations.

At the end of the world, after losing everything and trapped in the city belonging to the fallen, CJ is rescued and brought to a group of strangers she grows to love and protect.
But when everyone is so busy worrying about the dead, it's easy to forget that the living are just as dangerous.

*****

"I used to think I could see everything that was coming for me, but apparently my mind has a blind spot," 

"No one coulda' seen any a' this comin'. But just 'cause you can't see it, don't mean you ain't ready."

"I'm sorry I called you an asshole. You might be a prick but you're not an asshole."

"Gee thanks"

Losing sight of someone and not knowing whether or not they were gone hurt more than knowing that they were. When you know they're gone, the grieving period sets in immediately. Whether you know it or not, acknowledging their death is the first step of moving on, even though you never truly do so. But when you don't know if that person is dead or alive out there, when you don't know if they're searching for you too, you don't get to grieve. You hold onto the slightest bit of hope that might end up in utter disappointment, and then; the pain hits you ten times harder. Imagining living a life without her brothers had always been a fear of Jaylyn Dixons, and after being separated from them it didn't take her long to realize; it was even harder to live one. She had amused herself with comics about the apocalypse growing up to escape the chaos from the home she lived in, and in her eyes; the end of the world was nuclear destruction, astroids, the San Andreas fault, or the Yellowstone volcano eruption- not friggin' decaying Jeffrey Dahmers running around the place. The world had grown into a dark scary place, more so than it already was. As Jaylyn watched the people she loved fall like dominos, she struggled with holding onto hope, but Jaylyn Dixon was a survivor, a stubborn one at that, and she'd be dammed if she let the end of the world be the end of her story.

Silent and resilient seven-year-old Birdie Jackson was a vicious girl with an inferno of a temper for such a young child. She was once a bright, shining star that twinkled happiness in people's eyes. Now, however, she sparked amusement and annoyance in people's eyes. After losing their family, Birdie and her father flee to live out in his car with only a few cans of food and limited amount of water. Everything was scarce, so Vincent decided to go on a run. That was three weeks ago. Worried and panicked, Birdie set out a plan to find her dad, trampling along the woods with only a knife and determination. However, danger comes out of nowhere and plunges itself in her life like a sharp blade. And the only person there to help her - is a grumpy redneck with a similar attitude much like Birdie's. All Birdie wanted to do was find her dad, instead, she found Daryl Dixon. ᴘɪɴᴋᴍᴀᴛᴛᴇʀᴡᴘ © 2025 ꜱᴛᴀʀᴛᴇᴅ. 11 / 03 / '25 ꜰɪɴɪꜱʜᴇᴅ. ?? ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇꜱ ꜱᴇᴛ ɪɴ ꜱᴇᴀꜱᴏɴ 2.
