The Walking Dead( OC x OC)
Once an accomplished 25 year old ex army SWAT member in the heart of Atlanta, Adaline Monroe was living in the bustling city with her sister Delilah who was a 26 year old starving artist working as a tattoo artist.
Her parents, Jack and Winona Monroe, were still living in her hometown, Macon, when the dead started coming back to eat the living.
On the last day of civilization as we knew it, Adaline was at home watching TV on her day off when an emergency broadcast cut through her channel and every other one, telling people to head to Atlanta for shelter.
Adaline knew that that wouldn't be anywhere near a good idea.
Barely making it out alive, Adaline and Delilah ran for the woods, resorting to everything their ex Green Beret father taught them in order to survive.
They planned to lay low until the city grew quiet before going out to find their parents and those they cared for. But, after 4 days, Delilah grew sick with something neither of them could figure out and it made her feverish and weak to the point that she couldn't walk.
With no choice and nothing else to depend on, Adaline resorted to carrying her older sister on her back day in and day out.
One day in the Georgia summer heat, they hear the screams of children echoing through the trees and Adaline's body moves on its own. After saving the children, the girls were unexpectedly reunited with their family.

Deacon Greene never thought he'd see her angelic face again when the world went to shit.
He tried to warn her, get her to meet him at his family's farm. But it's been so long.
When the woman he cares for more than he was willing to admit before is brought back into his life, he will do anything to make her see how much he aches for her and keep her safe.
He's willing to piss her off as many times as possible to get it through her head that nothing can happen to her without him losing his damn mind.
He can't lose her. Not again.
"I didn't shoot her because I was 'brave'... I shot her because she was my daughter, and I didn't want her to walk around and be one of those flesh eaters..." I explained to John. "John, I'm not a leader, if anything, you're the leader." I told him. "No, man." John said with a laugh. "You are. Think about it Aaron, think about it." John said before he walked away.
It has been 2 weeks into the apocalypse. Things aren't going to be easy for the group as they realize danger is closer than they thought. People are adapting to the new world, but some aren't adapting very well. Will the group be prepared for what's coming for them? Or will everything fall apart before they can even try to stop it?
