I ran up to Will and pin him against the wall.
"You think you can just punch a Dixon and get away with it?" I snarl and I punch him in the nose.
Will threw back another punch and we were in a full-on fight until Carl and Daryl grab us.
"What happened!?" Carl demands as he holds me back.
"He beat me! So now we're even!" I snarled and Daryl glares at Will, his eyes like daggers.
"Will, you need to leave." Daryl says and he leads Will out of the cell block and I smile. Then I realize that I've become...such a monster. I reacted with violence because that's who I am now.
Carl wraps me up in a hug. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asks and I shook my head.
"I'm a Dixon, things like that don't just go away." I say, smiling. I put an arm around Carl's shoulder. "Well Grimes, What now?" I ask, smirking.
"We could go hunting, you can teach me." Carl suggests and I nod.
"Sounds good." I say as I ran back to my cell to grab my knife and my bow.
We went into the woods near the prison and followed deer tracks. Then I heard faint sobbing. I nudge Carl's arm it's my elbow and we ran in the direction of the sobbing.
There was a girl no older than eleven was sitting against a tree, sobbing and mumbling "MOM, DAD, MICHAEL!!!!" She was shivering and I knelt by her side.
She looked up, fear in her eyes.
"hey, hey. Don't worry. My name is Ember, we have a safe place you can stay." I tell her softly and I hold out my hand.
The girl sniffles and takes my hand. "I-I'm Jackie." She whispers and I smile and nod.

Carl spots a walker and stabs it in the back of its head. "Who's that?" Jackie asks me.
"He's Carl." I tell her.
"Is he your boyfriend?" She asks me and giggles. Carl glances at me and smirks, I blush and look away.
"Ummm...I'm not totally sure yet." I say, laughing nervously.
Carl walks over to me and kisses my forehead. "How about now?" He asks me, smirking. HOLY $%#}!!!!!
"Hmmm...I say yes." I say and Jackie smiles.
We make it back to the prison and explain everything to Rick and he agreed to let Jackie say.
She was staying in my cell. And she had top bunk.
At dinner, I sat next to Jackie and Carl. "Hey Jackie, I hope you don't mind me asking, but...why were you out in the woods alone and crying?" I ask her, trying not to make her cry.
Jackie swallows. "There-there are these really bad people, their hideout has cells too. But they kidnap people and torture them...they killed my brother Michael... and daddy starved to death and came back as a monster and killed mommy..." Jackie says quietly and the room goes quiet.
"They liked to take the kids from their groups, thinking they're vulnerable and can get information out of them easily." Jackie adds solemnly and I hug her.
"Don't worry Jackie, you're safe here." I tell her and Jackie nods a little.

8 169Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.
8 154The Goddess’ Chosen
Destiny is a strange force indeed. One simple act can create a ripple, one simple change can cause a cataclysm. One act outside of the individual would be enough to alter one's life no matter how insignificant that life may be. This is the adventures of Allisa Reed, a young girl from our world who found the legendary sword Excalibur and taken to the magical world of Avalon. On the other side of the portal with her friends by her side, Allisa is forced into a conflict she is not prepared for, ordained as the Goddess Chosen to bring about one of two possible outcomes; Salvation or destruction. ------------------------------------ Author's notes: This is more or less the first draft of this story. Currently working on a second draft. Spelling and grammar is definitely my biggest weakness, particularly in my earlier stuff. I've done some editing and hopefully have ironed out most of these mistakes in my older chapters though I'm fairly certain there are some mistakes still left. This story is ongoing. Updates are slow as I publish when a chapter is ready. Expect long chapters for most of it. Just sort of my style. Only available on Royal road.com
