I guess when apocalypses start, Jezebel thought, People forget to be humane, and just focus on being human.

I think a Walker is like a Schizophrenic, they've got another soul living in their head that's doing this to 'em. I think that's why they get distracted. They see something that strikes 'em, like a pretty bouquet, and they get flashbacks or something. They see someone they knew, or they go down a road they've walked a dozen times before, and they lose their Walker-ness for just enough of a noticeable bit. I think that's why the first Walker didn't eat Survivor One. He still knew him, in some way. He could hear his own voice echoing in his head and he knew he couldn't take his friend's life. I think that's why Connor Graves made it out alive. With a name like Graves, he's no victim. He's the undertaker, and he'll outlast us all.
But what of his sister, Jezebel? And her friends? Allen, Tamerlyn, Avery and Drew. They don't seem too fit for this. I mean, we've all heard Tamerlyn's confessional. We all know what's going on with her. We all understand her pain because we've all got a story like that. She reminds us that even though the Catastrophe hit us all individually, it hit us all at once, and no one is better off than anyone else. We're all on the same page. Day 24.

The Narrowest Days
I see you're awake finally. Let me explain, I'm the overseer, and my name is Hayley, I will guide you on your journey through this time era. Your name is Lexi, you needn't know you second name as it is useless now. That girl you are staring at is you, and you don't know anything because I made sure of that." The voice of which belongs to the person known as Hayley, booms through the room with a posh accent but audibly angry... Why was she angry with me? "As of now people are dying evidently people become depressed and aggressive to one and other. They all used to live in harmony and happiness, that was until the 'things started to raise. The 'things' are as you would call it zombies but of greater skill. They disguise themselves as humans yet they will not hesitate to kill you and eat you. If someone is a 'thing', automatically presume them dead, or at least soon to be dead. It will always take about 2 weeks to become fully changed, hopefully you can chop of that body part in time for the infection to stop. If you can't, put an end to your soon to be painful and horrible turn/death. These beings as I announced only a moment ago, look exactly like a human, two way to tell if they are one or not, their attitude and their eyes. They don't have emotions, only hunger and let me tell you, they will go out of their way to eat you, they will speak but it will sound different... Deformed almost. The eyes are usually the first to become infected, they become slightly red at first, as time progresses so does the intensity of the color red in the eye. The color in their eyes they once possessed, will seem dull, it will seem as if they are unfocused or unfamiliar with their surroundings. That is all I can tell you for the moment Lexi, but know their are people waiting for your arrival, and we are waiting for you to end this suffering race." I could tell something was off putting about her voice, as if she was lying straight through her teethComplete

Solace ~ TWD (Daryl Dixon)
In a world overrun by the dead, the living can be far more dangerous. She's carved out a fragile existence under the rule of a ruthless leader - a place where survival means submission. But when a defiant prisoner arrives, his spirit unbroken despite the horrors he's endured, she's forced to confront the chains she's wrapped around herself. The world outside is no kinder. Walkers roam the wasteland, and every step beyond the Sanctuary's walls is a gamble. Yet the thought of freedom lingers, gnawing at her. And as the man who refuses to kneel continues to fight, she's left with a choice - betray the fragile security she clings to, or risk everything for the chance at something more. But rebellion comes at a cost, and in a world without mercy, love might be the most dangerous risk of all. (Daryl Dixon x Original Female Character) Slow burn. Mature content. 🔥🫢 Some main TWD plot points included, but I intend to diverge often to keep it exciting and fresh. I don't own the rights to any TWD characters or scenes. OFC is my own, as are some of the plot lines in this story. #1 in Daryl Dixon - 10/28/25
His Angel
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.

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...

𝑨 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑴𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒅𝒚. (𝒏𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒏)
Trying to survive the apocalypse isn't just about slaying the undead. It's a 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 lot more complicated than that. Hardly anybody ever considers the barbaric murderers with the Cheshire Cat smiles or the cunning killers lurking around for their next victim to slice open. Or what about the huge range of communities out there, trying their best to thrive in the new world? Surely, not all of them are bad... right? Well, Brooklyn Scotts would be inclined to disagree to that last point made. For the girl has been surviving on her own since it all started, joining and leaving small groups here and there. But when she just so happens to unintentionally seek help on her travels, her whole world is turned upside down and she finds herself breaking all the rules. <><><> Highest Rank(s): » #1 Negan » #1 TheWalkingDead » #1 Rickgrimes <><><> || Negan X OC || || Mature Content || || Please Enjoy || <><><> » started late 2017 » completed summer 2019Complete

That was what she expected, of course until a group wandered by, including one of her two friends.Complete
Second Wind | TWD
-ˏˋ ꜰᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ, ɪ'ᴅ ꜱᴛᴇᴀʟ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴀʀꜱ.ˊˎ- Elodie Price had never heard the soft breeze of the wind or the sound of birds singing in the trees. After losing her older brother and her mother, the world had become grey. Ten years old, and already the universe had stripped her of everything. She couldn't see any reason to keep moving, no one to protect her. The Walkers would find her soon enough. With her hearing loss, she wouldn't even hear them coming. She could barely hear the world screaming around her. Her mother had always been harsh - never quite satisfied with anything Elodie did - and her brother distant. The little bits of love that trickled through, the faint scraps of affection, always seemed to slip through her fingers like water. She didn't belong. Not to them, not to anyone. So when she had come to the conclusion that maybe it was her turn to go, she never expected anyone to care. She never expected anyone to save her. Certainly not someone like Daryl Dixon. 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰; ©𝙙𝙞𝙭𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙: 𝙛𝙚𝙗. 𝟭𝟮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙: - updates set in season 5 (the earlier chapters truly suck in my opinion, so once you get to like chapter 10 or so it gets better :,P) DISCLAIMER: I do not own The Walking Dead, or its storyline.
