Ashes and Arrows | The Walking Dead

The world ended. You survived.
For months, Rebecca had been alone-learning how to kill walkers, how to read people, and most importantly, how to never depend on anyone. Then she walked into Atlanta. She expected to find death. Instead, she found a group of survivors trapped in a department store, a sheriff trying to keep them alive, a man chained to a rooftop, and a crossbow-wielding asshole who seemed determined to get under her skin. Daryl Dixon doesn't trust her. Rebecca doesn't trust him. And neither of them is particularly interested in changing that. But the apocalypse has a funny way of forcing people together. As Rebecca becomes part of Rick Grimes' group, she quickly realizes that surviving the dead might be the easy part. Because the living? They're far more dangerous. And Daryl Dixon might just be the most dangerous one of all.
