Dark Paradise

by kittykatattack7

[Sequel to Borrowed Time] I thought Alexandria could be paradise. I thought it would give us a reprieve from the death and chaos that had been our lives, but I was wrong. People were still dying and we were still fighting. Alexandria was no paradise. It was a dark paradise, and I had a bad feeling the worst was yet to come. [Daryl Dixon x OC]

1. Summary

Summary:

As the group slowly starts to find one another they encounter Terminus, the place that Vicki had talked the others into checking out. Their run in with Terminus is the start of their troubles where trust is broken and more lives are put at stake. When things start to really look grim and their faith in other people is shaken they stumble upon Alexandria.

The high walls and sense of security is welcoming, but some members of their group are wary and not everyone adjusts to the illusion of a peaceful suburbia. As internal conflicts rise and outside threats loom, Vicki and the others start to question the safe haven they now call home, while the Alexandrians question whether they made a grave mistake taking in the new group of strangers.

With minor speed bumps along the way, Vicki and Daryl's relationship continues to grow. But as they get closer they realize there is so much more at stake with every decision they make. Losing one another becomes a harrowing thought that neither of them can seem to stomach. As events spiral out of control, their seemingly unshakeable bond is put to the test in more ways than one... And only time will tell if either of them will make it out alive...

Author's Note:

I want to thank everyone that put up with my near TWO year hiatus from writing the sequel to Borrowed Time. If you're just stumbling upon this fanfic I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading Borrowed Time first before diving into Dark Paradise. You will have missed a lot ;)

Vicki and Daryl's story is no where near being over! We still have so much ground to cover. This story will pick up right where we left off when Vicki, Daryl and Calvin find Rick, Michonne and Carl. Get ready for new faces and new threats as the group heads to Terminus..and then subsequently they find Alexandria.

Seasons: 4-?

Updates: Slower. Please be patient with me.
