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

Chapter 77: I ain't goin' nowhere.

<<<
(DAY 464) There isn't much new. I don't know. I probably won't write much unless eventful things actually happen. Everything's pretty situated here and I'm finally in a good state of mind where I think I'm okay with all our losses. I still miss everyone we've lost, but I'm more okay with it now and I've pretty much accepted it. I figure now's a good time to do another list of people.

People I may find again someday:

-Chad August
-Michelle August
-Devon Garner
-Titus Olsen
-Conner Olsen
-Phillip Blake
-Caesar Martinez
-Shumpert

My group:

-Cory Jenner
-Daryl Dixon
-Merle Dixon
-Carol Peletier
-Beth Greene
-Maggie Greene
-Glenn Rhee
-Hershel Greene
-Rick Grimes
-Carl Grimes
-Judith Grimes
-Michonne
-Tyreese Williams
-Sasha Williams
-Karen

There are many new people but none in specific I feel need to be named. I'd also like to include a list of all the main people we've lost.

People we've lost:

-Jacqui
-Dr. Jenner
-Sophia
-Otis
-Dale
-Clark
-Jimmy
-Patricia
-Shane
-Big Tiny
-Tomas
-Andrew
-Lori
-T-Dog
-Oscar
-Axel
-Ben
-Paul
-Allen
-Many Woodbury soldiers
-Milton
-Andrea

Those are it unless I'm somehow forgetting someone. I hate that the list is that long, but I guess it is what it is. It's getting late, though, and Daryl's waiting for me so we can sleep.

Signing out,
Cory Jenner

My eyes moved over each face of the people marching toward the washed-up boat on the beach of Oceanside. Our army, though it wasn't huge in size, was something to fear. The fact that Aaron was leading it made it all the more frightening.

Seeing everyone in position, I prepared myself on the sideline. I wasn't technically in the army but I had the general idea of what to do wherever I was placed. I was just present in case something went wrong or any walkers strayed to the sides.

Jerry and Ezekiel placed themselves in front of the door of the boat, waiting for the signal to begin. This was only training, of course, and I was fairly confident we'd be fine, but there were plenty of walkers inside, and standing that close to the door was dangerous. We were prepared for anything at this point, even the Whisperers if they ever planned to return to the area. They had set a border and then left, which was annoying but we didn't dare to cross it anyway.

Once Aaron shouted that they'd begin, I gripped my weapon in readiness. I had commissioned a dagger by making a trade with the blacksmith at Hilltop --- a haircut for a weapon. The blade was long enough to clear a walker's entire head, base to point. The handle was engraved with roses and thorns.

Cyndie and Rachel broke through the army, pounding on the door to anger the walkers ahead of time. They backed away quickly and retreated to the army once again, seeking refuge behind the first row of spiked shields. Once they were safe, Ezekiel and Jerry pulled the door open and released four walkers, their skin bloated from the water and mossy all over.
