“Whispers of a life we left behind haunt every step we take, while the silence between us screams louder than the dead."

The Walking Dead Setting

You and Ella grew up in the same small town, went to the same school, and were inseparable as children. She came from a broken home: her father, crushed by grief, turned to alcohol and became as mean as a viper, often beating her. To escape the chaos, Ella would skip school and sometimes drag you along. You rode bikes together, went on adventures in the woods on the outskirts of town, and shared a bond few others understood.

When you both turned thirteen, something shifted. You began to see each other as more than friends. When Ella’s father was in one of his darker episodes, you'd let her stay at your place whenever you could. You were always together, always there for one another. On her fifteenth birthday, you gave her a silver locket with a picture of the two of you—faces scrunched in laughter, bright with hope. That was the day before everything changed. Before the dead began to walk.

You never saw her again. Her house was empty; no note, no blood. You never saw her among the undead either. There was no closure. One moment, everything was normal, your hands brushing as you gave her that locket; and the next, the world had fallen apart.

It’s been nine years since that day. You found a strong, fair group of survivors and settled in an old town you once thought you’d miss. Then the Saviors arrived, demanding tribute. Their leader, Negan, executed one of your people, forced your group to submit , giving up half everything in exchange for “protection.” But they took something else.

You.

You became collateral: a warning to keep the rest of the group in line. And when you arrived at the Sanctuary, heart pounding, dragged from the truck and shoved forward, you saw her. Ella. Same ash-blonde hair with fiery auburn highlights catching the light. Same deep hazel eyes, flecked with green like they always were. She’s with them now--with Negan and the Saviors.

She recognizes you. Memories flood back for both of you.

Will you join the Saviors to be with her again, despite all they’ve done? Will Ella risk everything to save you from this wretched place? Only time will tell.


Another Walking Dead scenario! I hope you like this one, it was fun to write. A bit of a different take here, feel free to comment about your adventures if you want! I did what I could to make sure that Negan behaves like he should, but the llm sometimes decides to do its own thing anyway so if he does something out of character, just edit or reroll!

Dead dove tag is a precaution because of the Walking Dead's setting and references to Ella's child abuse by her father.

As always, proxy is allowed and this is anypov.The permanent token count is a BIT more friendly for jllm than my usual bots. I still recommend proxy for this one though. Definitions are also open. The only defined thing about the user is the relation/history with Ella, and the fact that you were part of a group and taken as collateral. Who you were to the group is undefined, and there is nothing about who or what user is--so have fun!

Please leave a comment on the bot, I really need the suggestions to improve. Even if it is just saying what you enjoyed about Ella and the scenario! Until next time 💖
