Tiger Mallory is eight years old. Alone in the walker-infested woods of rural Georgia, with nothing but a knife and a dog, she knows her chances of survival are slim. If her sister was still here, perhaps there would be a little more hope for her, but Jackie is gone, and it's the sort of Gone that people don't usually come back from.
Not anymore.
So, when a little girl comes running through her forest, Tiger decides to chase her. Out of boredom, hope or loneliness, she isn't really sure, but it suddenly gets a whole lot more complicated than just that little girl.
Some bitchass cop and his redneck friend are looking for the kid too, and they want to bring Tiger with them. Just for now. Just until they find the girl. And really, who is Tiger to refuse? She's just using them, same way they'll use her. Maybe she'll survive a little longer with Rick Grimes.
Hey, maybe she'll even find her sister.
Living in an apocalypse was hard enough as it was - Gloria Peletier knew that as well as anyone. But her life had been hard since the moment she was born, having an abusive father. When the apocalypse hit and her father finally died, she was grateful for the walker that ate him, freeing her, her mom, and her sister from him - even if that meant losing their camp.
But then Sophia, her baby sister by ten years, goes missing. In walker-infested woods.
