Lost Too Much 【REDONE】 ║ Daryl/OC or Shane/OC

Chapter 14: Don't just sit there and let it happen!

<<<
(DAY 011) You would think with all this free time, I'd write more often about what was happening. But no, it's been 5-6 days since my last update. I did run into a living person recently, but it wasn't on good terms. It was a Black woman with dreadlocks, wielding a sword of some sort. I saw her from across a road, and I waved my arms like a maniac at her, but she didn't care. She just looked at me and kept walking. I thought of running after her to see if she wanted to partner up with me because I'm sure we both knew being alone wasn't the best option, but I didn't even approach her because I wasn't sure if she'd swing her sword at me and kill me. She disappeared into the woods and I haven't seen her since.

Other than that, it's been the same. I walk for most of the day, raid a couple places for food and water, maybe more clothes or things to keep me warm. I decided from that map I found to head South. I found a sign earlier today that said people were resigning in Woodbury. The sign said that anyone was welcome and that there were already tons of people there. So that's my plan, to head there.

I still don't feel very good, but I have a lot more hope of surviving because I now know there are others out there other than me. I haven't exactly found them, but I'm at least going to eventually. I don't know this area perfectly, but I've been through here before so I feel like I'll be able to find my way around if I keep watching the map. So I've been walking with my duffel bag on my back, my gun in my waistband, and my knife in hand. I stopped at a pond in the woods a couple days ago to wash off a little bit, and I took a bit of a break to rest and eat. So I wrote this little entry, and I'm gonna start walking again as soon as I finish it.

I'm starting to really miss Merle and Daryl. Merle said they would come looking for me eventually, and it's only been 11 days since that guy came through telling our town about it. Maybe it wasn't announced everywhere. Maybe it wasn't announced at all. The smaller towns around Porterdale were empty, but no one from Atlanta seemed to be taking off. Chad did head in that direction, though. Maybe they did know and were building camps there. Who knows? I just know that it initially started 11 days ago, and whether or not it spread everywhere or not is nothing to me. I do know it must've spread around here, both the news and the virus because everyone took off and I had already come across abandoned places. On top of that, I had already encountered some zombies, so it clearly made it's way out here.

All of this hurts my head. I'm gonna head out again. I have a good few hours worth of walking to do if I wanna get to Woodbury.

Signing out,
Corynn Elaine August (Jenner)

"Little C! Shane and I were just talkin' about you."

I grew confused, seeing the scene in front of me. The boys stopped staring at me after Clark spoke, now looking at him like he was crazy. I was very worried about what they were talking about.

"You were?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows at Shane, who was growing angry as the moment went on. "About what, then?"

Shane gave a warning look to Clark, who didn't look too disturbed by it. The whole situation made me feel unsure. I was unsure what they were talking about, but I was also unsure what they could've even been talking about in the first place.

Shane shook his head, taking a couple steps toward me, "It's nothin', Darlin'. You get some rest. I'll watch them-"

"Shane, no. I wanna know what was being said about me in here."

Now I had reason to believe I needed to be worried about it. Shane tried to shoo me away the second I came in. Clearly, it was something he didn't want me to know, but something Clark wanted me to know. He was quick to inform me that I was their conversation topic, so it was obviously something he wanted to share.
