{{PREQUEL TO DESERT ROSE}}
.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
Before the world ended, Rose had to endure a different kind of apocalypse. Her family. None of which was easy or effortless, to her it was the most challenging thing she was given. No matter how much she tried, she always felt she didn't really fit in with the three people she was supposed to be bonded to for life. But the question remained; what was it that caused her to realize that the family she was born into, wasn't really her family at all?
This is a short prequel to my The Walking Dead fanfic Desert Rose. The contents of this story reflect on what my OC's life was like before the apocalypse. This was written to mainly give you more in depth detail about her character and the development of her story. There won't be too many parts to this, but I wanted the opportunity to really take a dip into her past since a few of you have been curious about the hints I've given in my original series. And as always, there will be a trigger warning atop any chapter that may have some sensitive subjects.
Hope you enjoy!

𝙒𝙃𝙄𝙎𝙋𝙀𝙍𝙎 𝙄𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙋𝙄𝙉𝙀𝙎 , 𝒞. 𝒢𝓇𝒾𝓂𝑒𝓈
𝙒𝙃𝙄𝙎𝙋𝙀𝙍𝙎 𝙄𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙋𝙄𝙉𝙀𝙎 »The forest never gave back what it took, until the night it gave us her.« -When the outbreak began, Mahayla survived with her family, moving like shadows through the ruins of the world. They were tough, resourceful, and for a time they thrived. But survival never came without a cost. A horde ripped her family away in one brutal night, leaving Mahayla with nothing but the weapons in her hands and the will to keep breathing. Alone, she hardened fast. Trust became a luxury, kindness a weakness. She learned to fight, to kill, to take what she needed without hesitation, alone. By the time Rick's group found her, she didn't beg for help, she didn't even want it. She followed them at a distance, wary and silent, blade always within reach. It wasn't loyalty that made her stay with them, but the simple fact that strength attracts strength. When they reached Alexandria, Mahayla crossed the gates with the same cold stare she had carried since the night her world burned. She wasn't looking for family or friends, she'd buried those with her past. But in this new place, with these battle-worn survivors, she found something she hadn't had in a long time: a chance to fight for more than just herself, and a spark with a boy in a sheriff's hat.

The Ðying Liƒe. »A Walking Dead Fanfic«
Story starts right after the incident at Hershel's barn but does not follow the story line of the show after that. The main character is a young woman named Nora who at first has developed feelings for Glenn after he was the one who helped get her out of the city. When she realizes she's held on to her feelings too long, she quickly starts to feel lost. Nora is somewhat of a trouble magnet but most of all she just wants to find her place in this new world. Along the way, she finds comfort in an unlikely person. (I do not own the original art for the cover) {I started this story back in December 2011 on Tumblr and although it didn't get the fan following that I had always hoped for, it did well in it's own way. It had loyal followers and I got comments on how much readers loved it. I thought I would try posting it on Wattpad to see what becomes of it. The story is completed on Tumblr and as I bring it over here, I'm also doing small rewrites to the story. There are scenes that I needed to cut out and change up just because my view of things has changed as well and I wanted this story to reflect that. I really hope it finds the same love as it did on Tumblr and if you're interested in reading the original version you can go here:https://newinadeadworld.tumblr.com}Complete

A Survivor's Diary of the Apocalypse (TWD/Daryl Dixon)
*** CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTANT REVISION AND EDITING! UPDATING WHENEVER POSSIBLE *** **Previous called "Post Apocalyptic Love (Daryl Dixon Fanfiction** *yes, there is smut. since its a daryl dixon fanfic, it only seemed fitting. i will put a warning in the chapter that have it, so if you are uncomfortable with reading smut, skip that part. this is all my first time writing this kinda stuff so take it easy on me. thanks!* ~~ The book is separated by each season of TWD, so if you have a favorite season you can chose to read Kelley's story from there ~~ A virus broke out across the globe, reanimating the dead and creating mass chaos. In a matter of days, half of the world's population was either dead or turned. The government collapsed, TV and radio stations shut down, and everyone was left to fend for themselves. Kelley lost everything in the beginning. Her family, her house, even her small hometown in the state of Georgia. So she decided to leash up her dog, a Belgian Malinois named Bud, gather some supplies, and head towards Atlanta. She encounters a small group along the way. Survivors just like her, with stories and losses of their own. She soon becomes close to them, feeling like she has found another family, and she will do anything to protect them. This is a story of lost, love, survival, and surprises. The world doesn't care that you are alone, doesn't care if you're hungry, and doesn't care that death lurks around every corner. The undead feed on the living and the living can't be trusted. As the days pass and the world she knew was gone, she keeps a record of everything that has happened since first night. In a world where previous history is long forgotten, Kelley believes it is necessary to write down her journey and keep track of all things apocalyptic, so that maybe one day it will help others learn how to survive... and not make the same mistakes she has. So, let's start at the beginning.Complete
Fuck You, Dixon (DarylDixonXreader)
A/N: This is the updated version of FYD <3 Y/n L/n was your average college student before the world went to shit. She lived in Atlanta with her childhood friend, Glenn, and had never once left the city after she had moved there, apart from the occasional visit to see her Mother, whom was hospitalised in another state. However, the end of the world changed that, forcing her to leave the city and wander the highway. Permanently. When the city was overrun, she was separated from Glenn and forced to flee the city, which she hadn't left for years. With no idea where to go or what to do, she simply wandered down the highway. And though she may have been a city kid, she was far from useless. She was used to fighting for her life and she was used to being alone, so to say the very least, she could handle whatever the end of the world threw at her. Equipped with her trusted bow, Lucy, and her fathers vintage revolver, she was ready for anything. Dead or otherwise. A few months after the 'End', Y/n eventually came across a lost little girl, and a group of survivors hurled up on a farm. She never was a people person and never got along too well with others, but she couldn't just abandon the girl. Would she find a home in this group? Would they become family? Or was she doomed to wander alone? Would she ever reunite with Glenn? Her family? And would she and a certain redneck ever get along? UPDATES: DAILY. This is a fem!reader fic, but you can ignore gender if you like<3 Hopefully, you'll enjoy the story! If there's any mistakes let me know. And just enjoy!<33 NOTE: Obviously all characters belong to the walking dead, apart from any oc's or storylines I may add!
