You knew Carl from before all this happened. Your moms were best friends and would sip wine on your back porch while the two of you played pretend in the backyard. The day the world went to shit, you were dismissed from school early and Lori had to take you home. You never thought you'd see Carl again after you slid that mini van door closed...

A Lamb To The Slaughter • carl grimes
"Every eldest daughter is the first lamb to the slaughter" I never thought I'd meet him, a boy who cared. A boy who wanted me as much as I wanted him. Someone who cared. Someone who might just love me. If there was one thing I wanted, it was love. Not the lust kind of love. Not the forced kind of love. The 'I love you and I chose to' kind. The soft kisses at night and hand to hold when you feel scared. The shoulder to cry on. And he gave that to me. He gave me everything. ♤♡♤ I've been alone since my dad left me in an animal trap. Father of the year, right? I know not to trust anybody. That was a lesson learned a long time ago. So you know what happened when I got found by a man and his son, looking ugly, crying in a ditch? And then meet a police officer who is trying to find his family. "I have a son about your age, it'd be nice for you two to be friends" that's what Rick Grimes said to me a few days before I went with him to Atlanta to find his family. I guess I learn that some people may just be trustworthy. I might even find a family. And I might just finally feel safe, not broken. I might grow, I might break. All with the help of a certain boy in a sheriff's hat. Wanna know how all that happens? Keep reading. You're in for a wild ride. Because this is a story of death, sacrifice, zombies, sarcasm, and learning to sleep with a knife under your pillow. But most importantly, love And you might ask how I found the "L" word in the apocalypse... That's for you to find out. And for me to tell you. Bit by bit, piece by piece, little by little, and chapter by chapter. Good luck, and don't get bit before you finish the story, because this girl doesn't tell it twice. I do not own the walking dead, only my ocs! Started: July 1, 2025 Published: July 9, 2025 Edited: October 4, 2025 Finished: ??? (You have to waittttttt :p)

·:*¨༺ ♱ When I'm Small ♱ ༻¨*:· Miette 'Miet' Dixon. Feral child. Hellish pre-teen. 'Dead' teenager. ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ She wasn't meant to be born. Miette was an accident, Merle was just mean to have a one night stand and then somehow ended up with a fucking child. Not that he really treated her like his child. More like a cockroach who, no matter how many time you put outside, you'll still find in your sock drawer. Or maybe like a parasite. But instead of blood she leached of, it was love. So naturally when the world fell to shit she was begrudgingly brought along for the ride by her father and his brother. {Carl Grimes x OC} {DarylDixon - father figure!}Complete

I always imagined the end of the world being something out of the Bible or movies. I even imagined and mentally prepared myself for a Zombie apocalypse. Which, I guess is what this was... News reports live all over the world showing cases and recordings of hospital patients or people on the streets attacking one another. Eating their flesh then attacking other people, while the ones who got bit and died came back and started attacking the ones who ran- and didn't. Even those in the military didn't stand a chance. It would have been almost horrifying if it weren't for the fact that I was so unattached to everything. Now I'm alone...
