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

Fear makes people human. It's always there, hiding in the back of your mind, waiting for its chance to resurface. It's a knife twisting in your gut, a sword hanging over your head. Even in the old world, before Daryl knew I was his daughter or I had met Carl, it was there. Things were different now. You have to face it or it kills you. And I'm not ready to die anytime soon.

When you think of a zombie apocalypse, you think of blood and guts and terror. You wouldn't think of a 13 year old girl running around Georgia with a katana-weilding badass. You wouldn't think of a 13 year old boy in a sheriff's hat stuck in a prison for safety. So things are about to get crazy. Blood, brains, and crazy here I come. Carl/OC. Starts off slow, but gets better!

Both of her parents have been dead for a month and a half, and when stuck in a world of flesh-eating monsters by herself, 14 year old Emma Peterson believes that life isn't really worth living anymore. But, will all of that change when she meets Carl Grimes, and befriends a brand new family?

Spinoff to the original Sam story. Sam and Carl are both 17 now, they've just arrived at the Alexandria Safe Zone. Everything seems to be going right, of course, then everything starts to go wrong. Not canon to the actual Sam story, just "Hey this is something that could happen"
