In The Bird Song | TWD

Harlow rose was a child who lost everything at the hands of the monsters around her long before the world fell. She was a girl cast aside and locked away for pleading guilty to a crime she felt no shame about committing. "Never be ashamed" her sister had once told her and the words rang true even when the one who first spoke them was gone, lost to a world that never wanted her.

When the dead started walking people called them monsters but Harlow knew better and in time, the survivors would as well. the dead were nothing but a a shell of the creature that came before, But the people, they were alive and the true monsters lurked among them. the vile beings who were previously forced to dwell in the shadows and deal in the dark had inherited the world transforming it into a playground of violence and deceit.

Harlow believed her life was condemned to end before it had truly began and she had accepted her grim fate of rotting away behind bars and walls until she reunited with her sister. It would be a long time before she realised just how wrong she was.

Carl grimes didn't know what to think when his family stumbled across a lone inmate in the prison his family was to seek refuge in. He knew the stranger was a criminal and he knew that criminals where dangerous but he struggled to correlate the unassuming girl dressed in a ill-fitting jumpsuit with the image of prisoners he had painted in his head.

This is a story about found family, the evil that wears the face of innocence, mental illness and recovery. It is a story about being pushed to the brink of insanity and the journey one must take to come back from it. it is a story of getting hurt and healing, it's a tale of love, acceptance, freedom and humanity. It's the story of a dancing flame, a blazing sun and the birds that came before them.
