Yulia wasn't afraid of him, she didn't cower, she didn't beg, she didn't cry. She was strong and brave, matched his sarcasm perfectly and stood her ground. Negan's men were just that, his soldiers, unimportant underlings, but this girl, as defiant as she could be, might have been his only chance for a friend ... and maybe another wife. Or perhaps they were too alike to co-exist.

Ophelia Darwin never meant to involve herself with Tom Riddle-it just sort of happened. Tom Riddle could have probably said the same. How long does it take for one to wake up and realize your greatest fear was not a monster that went bump at night, but the person who casually bullied you into doing their history homework?

Tom Riddle wasn't the only "different" one at Wool's Orphanage. He wasn't the only one who could do the things he could. He wasn't the only one who could speak with snakes.

If there was one thing Negan was right about, it was that Clary Dixon was just one bad day away from being him. And he sure as hell didn't want that day to come. No one did. But it came, and Clary Dixon was not who she once was. She was the leader of the revolution. Until she lost everything.
