These crosses all over my body remind me of
who I used to be .... Give myself up to him,
let him make a woman out of me.
━━━ Family Tree , Ethel Cain

A sickness overcame the world that Adeline Grimes-Walsh lived in, an incurable disease running rampant through the streets. Chaos and panic were quick to spread across the nations like wildfire while the dead woke from their slumber, hungry for the tainted souls that roamed the wretched Earth. And Adeline? She was left behind amongst the masses of the dead. All while maintaining the responsibility of keeping her coma induced brother alive. There wasn't a cure. At least not one she could discover. A certain darkness formed within her as she survived, scouring what remained of her hometown in order to stay fed and somewhat healthy. Meanwhile, a sinister serpent slithered it's way through the garden that was Earth and into her mind, sinking its venom into every thought and memory. Then, after two never ending months, Rick Grimes decided it was finally time for him to wake up. And it wasn't going to be long before devastation and betrayal struck the siblings that began the search for their family.

Authors Note :

Hello everyone. Okay, this book is officially restored to the original version so I can continue writing from season 5. I haven't edited it yet, just know there are a few typos and issues throughout this story. Adeline might be called a nurse, but she's a doctor. Theo might be referred to as 13 years old or another age but she's actually 11 when introduced. Please just look over those mistakes until I have the attention span to go through all these chaps and edit 🙏

Also the writing gets better throughout the story so sorry

Trigger warning: this story includes many, many
mature themes such as ... ( Mentions of infertility,
sexual trauma, domestic abuse, abuse, use of vulgar
language, sexism, grief, loss, trauma, violence, etc. )
If a chapter includes anything I deem as sensitive, I
will be putting a trigger warning at the main top.
