They are forced to hide inside an abandoned tank on the now busy streets. Just when they think all hope is lost, a man's voice comes over the radio.

Finding Abigail (Daryl Dixon) by charleyyy1234

The livings time was coming to a close on this planet, the dead have risen and are walking the earth, looking to devour anything in their path. There were now more of those things than survivors, and it was impossible to survive. Abigail Blake was a brave young woman, who had no family or friends. Her mom died in childbirth, she left her father behind in that small town. The one she would never go back to. She only had herself to watch out for, it had always been that way, it was easier that way. She was clever, she knew how to yield a weapon, and she knew how to survive, if she kept herself to herself then she would be just fine. Sometimes the world doesn't work that way, and you end up becoming a part of something, and you don't even realise that it's happened. Could she survive as part of the pack? She wasn't convinced, she didn't even truly know herself, she had been lost when she was younger. But would she ever be able to find herself again? ***All rights got to AMC, I do not own any characters, storylines of theirs. I only own my fictional character and any other original characters added.***

A Place Just For Us (Rick Grimes) by hufflepuffvio

Rick Grimes x OC Not following any specific season from the start. ❝ This world wasn't made for love, but that did not mean we couldn't find a place for it; a place just for us. ❞ Finding a group of survivals is one of Hayley's luckiest moments, and fitting in is certainly a blessing. Friends for life are made during the apocalypse, something she never would have expected. While eventually having a well accepted role in the group, she just can't seem to earn the attention of a certain someone, let alone earn his respect. That someone happened to be Rick Grimes; a man that hid his grief and pain to lead the people that hurt just the same as him. Hayley would rather avoid him, and she knows he wants her to, but the two find each other either way, so unexpectedly. Despite avoiding each other and despite the unnecessary bickering, Rick and Hayley have some things in common. What grows between them is so unfamiliar, yet it isn't. Will an unexpected kiss change everything? → #4 under #thewalkingdead #8 under #rickgrimes #4 under #judith
