Dearly Beloved,
We are gathered here today to get through this thing called life. Electric word life; it means forever and that's a might long time but I'm here to tell you there's something else, the after world. A world of never ending happiness. You can always see the sun day or night.
-Prince
Let us hope that there is such a place beyond the walls of Newnan and high in the clouds. Where there are no Walkers, no wars between folk for supplies and security. Where all is well. We have lost many and today as the sun is setting in the west as the clouds are clearing from the storm, streams of orange and red streaking the terrain, we will lay another to rest as doves flocks from the trees and fly through the humid air.
The blood loss was too much, there was hope but that hope is gone. The body just cannot survive as Maria passes this world to the next. Hang your heads low and take a moment but breath a sigh of relief for she is in no more pain and is welcomed by all the others that have passed before her.
On a better note, the infection was stopped for Sophia. She will not turn but she still needs medical attention. Let us hope that they get into the walls before the hoard hits and let us pray to whatever twisted deity that may be above that Newnan's walls hold. Yeah, remember the hoard? It's twenty minutes out now and the first bits of it can be seen far off to the south.
Zoie Crawford
"Now yous be taking a deep breath Red, I ain't opening no door to no strangers after the shit storm we just went through just because yous be askin'. Gotta wait for Boss, to hold yer horses two clicks. Don't be makin' me tell him y'all ain't friendlies," Zoie quipped as she yelled down at new arrivals. Much as she would like to help because people need people in this world but this wasn't her call. She looked them over and they didn't seem like Eden folk, which was a step up in her book but still it wasn't her call and she'd be damned if she made some hasty decision that got her, Froggy and Honky Tonk get kicked out on their rear ends. She liked hot showers.
Waiting for Ash to get there she lowered her weapon slowly but kept it at the ready; she was no sharp shooter like Alicia had been but the girl was a damn good shot and five out in the open like this would have been easy pickings. Listening to the exchange Zoie leaned over and spoke into Ash's ear.
"Boss, hand to hand weapons as well. Them Viking chics don't be lookin' like they are guns and ammo sort if ya catch me drift," she said quietly before righting herself and looking back through her scope off into the distance to see if she could see any glimpse of the hoard the foul mouthed one was yelling about. After a moment she handed the rifle out to Ash. "We gots a problem," she said with a nudge of her head towards the south. Picking up the walkie she radioed up to James. "Mr. James sir, could yous be taking a gander to the south down the main road. What you be seeing?" she asked as she stood there. The hoard was coming and it was coming in towards them, hundreds of them from what Zoie could estimate.
Astrid Hansen
Astrid sat there on her horse, leaning forward slightly with the reins in her hands. Simply watching and listening. She seemed calm, real damn calm. As if she didn't have a care in the world. Like one of those people in the back seat of a car of Driving Miss Daisy, waiting to say something if it needed to be said. People yelled, they spoke and the girl in her wagon really should have passed out by now.
She listened to the terms and looked over to Bridgette, letting out a long breath before leaning over and speaking into the womans ear. "What firearms?" she whispered before righting herself on her horse again. Astrid didn't use firearms, never had. She trusted her axe, her sword, and her shield more than any modern weapon. It had taken care of her so far over the last three years. Taking a deep breath she looked back towards Ash, the one speaking for those inside the wall, the one she figured that the country girl was referring to as Boss.
"I speak for these people and we have no problem with your conditions. Now, can we get a move on? Sun is setting and those Eaters are on our ass. I'd rather not enter Valhalla today."
