'What We Deserve' -- 'Of Pain and Suffering'

"*Hey honey. I'm sorry. **I'm so sorry**. I know you're angry, that you got questions. I'll try to answer them as best I can [...] I've felt like this for a long time. Ever since that son of a bitch did what he did. I've had no way to turn, and I'm sorry I've made it seem like I got over it. That I **recovered** from it all. Hard to when you can't speak. **I'm sorry honey**. I'm so, so, so sorry. I had to do this, I had to. I didn't want to, but I couldn't live with this pain anymore. I don't want to feel the pain in my stomach, the loss in my heart. I **can't** do it, and I can't talk about it. [...] I'm sorry honey. I love you. **I love you**. Look after Ben. Let him know that none of this was his fault. None of this was yours neither. I hope I'll see you again someday. **Goodbye, honey. I love you**,*"
—Sarah's suicide note, addressed to her husband[src]
**Sarah Stanton** is a main character who was born after the outbreak in *The Walking Dead by EDStudios*. Conceived shortly before the exodus from Sanctuary, Sarah had to grow up fast in a cruel world. Able to shoot since she was four years old, Sarah closely followed her mother's example in life and grew into a fearless young woman. After forming a relationship with AJ, Sarah is now a mother herself and will go to any lengths to protect her child. After being mercilessly raped by Leyton Jones, Sarah was rendered almost mute for the rest of her life. However, she kept going and found new ways to communicate.

After her second child was killed when Antony Eden shot her in the stomach, Sarah spiralled into a path of depression before finally committing suicide following Eden's death.

## Post-Apocalypse

### Season 2

#### 'What We Deserve'

Sarah was born in 2014, in the fire watchtower in Moonbeam Lake Camping Ground. Just minutes before her birth, the group that would become her family had finished fighting off an entire herd to protect her mother during childbirth. Edwards goes to wrap her in his overcoat but stops when he realizes that it is still covered in Jess' dried blood. Becky thanks him anyway and the two talk, with Edwards promising his help for as long as they are travelling together. Edwards then asks if they have settled on a name, to which Becky said she hasn't as she was convinced she was having a boy. She then asks Edwards for a suggestion. Thinking for a second, he suggests the name "Sarah", after one of his old friends. Becky takes a liking to the name and announces her daughters name as "Sarah Stanton".

## Death

### Killed by:

* Harry Edwards *(indirectly caused)*
* Antony Eden *(caused)*
* Herself *(suicide)*

During her time as a captive of Antony Eden, Sarah is shot in the stomach by Eden, killing her unborn second child. Gripped by depression for the next three years, Sarah commits suicide by gunshot wound to the head with a shotgun several days after Eden is killed. Her suicide led to her father's self-imposed exile and her husband AJ's own failed suicide attempt years later.

## Killed Victims

* 7 unnamed members of the Government Army *(6 direct, 1 caused)*

## Trivia

* Sarah is named after Sarah Terringham after Edwards suggested the name to Becky to honour his friend.
* After *Season 17*, Sarah has only 50 lines of dialogue, due to her being rendered almost mute due to her being raped by Leyton Jones.
* Her last spoken dialogue were the words "fuck you", directed at Antony Eden's corpse.
