With their time at the prison coming to an end where will they go? As the group goes out to find some sort of safe haven, Daryl soon finds his own in the last place he expected, in her. AU after Season 3

Carl can't understand anyone anymore. Daryl can relate to that. But when a young,dark,mysterious girl joins the group,Carl is head over heels with her,while Daryl not only seeks the redemption of failing Sophia,but unknowingly grows the attachment he never knew he could've had. My first fic. Rated T for violence,gore,and language. Eventual Carl/OC .Give it a shot. Sequel is up!

Grace Palmer is alone, her parents were torn apart and now she fights for survival and it's not just the Walkers she has to fight against. Along her journey she forges new friendships and creates a home for herself, but how long will that last before her past catches up on her and the people she cares so dearly for disappear.

Better Summary Inside. Story set 17 years after the end of Season 3 and will follow a 17 year old Judith and a 28 year old Carl by alternating POV. Losing the last root of the original Atlanta group affected Judith and Carl much more than anticipated, they decide to leave together to try to build a life away from all the painful memories. Rated T for now maybe M later.

Just a short one shot of when Daryl found Carol in the tombs. I wrote what I thought was going through Daryl's mind at the time. Please read and Review!
