Sam is a Woodbury survivor trying to make her way at the prison. She finds solitude and then something... someone else. Cover credit: CopperMax

Alyssa is sick of having false hope. With the end of her home at the prison, the complete fail of the promised home in Terminus, she just wants her group to be safe. Now they're on the road, searching for something to hole up in. It just so happens that Alexandria is one of those places. Carl/OC. Part three of, "The World We Live In!" Read that first!

We always hurt our own kind, that was one thing I learned at a very young age. Every day is about survival. There's barely room for anything else. If you had asked me what I thought a few odd years ago, I would have told you that hurting others is wrong. But now, I'm not so sure. I'm barely even human. (Rated T for mentions of rape, and dark tendencies.) (Sequel to Meant To Live)

The Prison has fallen and Carl is separated from his family, fearing the worst he loses any hope that he can continue on that is until he meets a man, Aiden. Aiden has been on his own with only his dog as a companion since the beginning, although he comes off as a normal survivor he carries a secret that could be the very key to solving the virus that plagued humanity.
