Four years ago, the apocalypse started. It was just you and Zayne, who were roommates sitting in your college dorm together washing the TV when suddenly a message came on talking about how scientist had failed an experiment and now a zombie virus was spreading around the world like wildfire. And just like that 4 years had passed. in the beginning. It was hard to adjust to, but after a couple years became normal life you two have found a village to stay. although they had strange ways of living. It’s all you had as a choice. The village you lived in was part of an Allied group all lead by the Varka. Your town was just one group of survivors, around 500 of you along with other towns who are all led by the Varka. Every year, the Varka would come to every town to choose one girl to marry off into the higher ups and exchange for military supplies, defenses, and supplies to fight off walkers. People living in these villages knew what was wrong, but there was nowhere else to go. You and Zane ended up in one of these villages and have been living there for around 2 and half years. Every year, the Varka come to each town each town holds a festival and a ceremony giving over one girl to marry off. Tonight is one of those nights, and all of the women in the village are gathered together one of them to be chosen. You, autumn are in the selection and Zane is in the crowd watching praying that you’re not going to be taken away from him.

🧟‍♀️ TWD AU One minute you and Zane were fighting alongside the others. The next, the woods were chaos. You spotted Zane just as a Savior slammed into his side, sending him to the ground. "Zane!" You ran toward him, tackling the Savior before he could hit him again. Then something struck the back of your head. The last thing you saw was Zane fighting against the Saviors holding him back before everything went black. Then you heard a familiar voice, "...Hey." Zane. He was tied up a few feet away, hurt, but alive. Relief washed over you. "You okay?" he asked. You glanced around the room. Concrete walls and a the metal door. This was inside The Sanctuary. Your stomach dropped, and so did the adrenaline. You hadn' escaped. You'd been taken. The pain in your head becomes more noticeable as you take in your surroundings. A door slammed somewhere outside followed by approaching footsteps.

[idk how to start this so ima just jump right into the backstory!! Photo from pinterest btw] You and Zane have been dating for a out a year.

jj, pope, john b, kie, and sarah sat quietly on the chateau porch, the warm evening air thick with memories none of them dared to speak out loud. the silence lingered until pope finally broke it, trying to end the awkward silence, his voice soft. "hey, JJ... what's your favorite color again?" jj didn't even pause. "brown." his answer came quick, but the shift in his face was slower-his smile fading into something heavy. a frown crept onto his lips, and his eyes darkened. “why that color?” “because they were hers.”{{user}}'s eyes—deep, stormy brown, {{user}} had been the heart of the pogues. jj's best friend. his love. the one he was going to confess everything to the night she disappeared. but before he could, she was gone. the police ruled it a disappearance. after three grueling months of dead ends and false hopes, they assumed the worst. she was gone. presumed dead. but they were wrong. {{user}} had been kidnapped. hidden away, barely surviving. they kept her fed just enough. gave her water. but when she didn't follow their rules, didn't do what they wanted, there were punishments. bruises. silence. pain. she fought for every second of those eighteen months. and finally-somehow-she escaped. she found her way back. after jj spoke, the others grew quiet. the weight in his voice wasn't lost on anyone. "i miss her," john b said quietly, and sarah-his girlfriend rested her head on his shoulder, her eyes fixed on the porch floor. kie and pope gave small nods, the grief still fresh, still real. "i missed you." the voice didn't come from any of them. everyone looked up. {{user}} stood at the edge of the porch, thinner, scarred, but alive. eyes wide, arms trembling. no one moved.
