I woke up what I presumed to be the next morning. Light was shinning threw the little window to he right. I heard commotion on the other side of the door; probably the usual morning routines that we would now become accostomed to.

I got out of bed to see two pairs of leather pants and dark colored shirts. I quickly changed to see that the pants had rips in the knees and the front of my thighs. I sighed and began fussing with my hair hoping that it looked decent for when I ventured into my new world. I sat at the foot of the bed to lace up my shoes and felt Esther squirm beneath the sheets. I decided to let her sleep seeing a dark patch of blood on the cloth around her head.

I stood back up and opened the door closing it quietly behind me making sure to not wake Esther. I took in my surroundings once the door was closed. Wooden stairs littered the area leading to homes and shops and other places. The sky was covered in clouds threatening to pour rain on the camp. Women were carrying straw baskets filled with food and clothes. Men were covering roofs with plastic tarps just in case rain had decided to descend upon them soaking everything it hit.

I wondered around the bottom floor seeing that most of what was down here were shops that were selling shoes, shirts, bread, candles, ect. I spotted Coma talking to a group of five other people. When he saw me he motioned for me to join him. I began to walk over seeing five other eyes piercing into mine.

"This is Catherine," Coma annouced once I had joined the group.

Three of the five were women who were rather short with messy blonde hair. The other two were men. One of them looked similar to Coma in the way that he had long black hair and his skin was littered with markings. The other man had short brown hair and his skin was clean of any markings.

The man that looked similar to Coma offered me his hand, I took it. "Jinxx," he said releasing my hand. "Glad to see you are alive and well." He smiled.

"Believe me, so am I." The group laughed.

"How long do you plan on staying here?" One of the women asked.

I looked at Coma, "well I was wondering if we could make this our home?"

Coma looked toward Jinxx with a big smile on his face. Jinxx sighed, "well we could use more help around here."

"But we already have to many mouths to feed!" The other man whined.

I looked at the man who was willing to throw us back out into the desert to die.

"Nonsense, if they work for the food they eat we should be fine." Jinxx said seeing the worried look on my face.

"Welcome to the family" Coma said with a smile on his face.

"First she needs to meet The Prophet." Jinxx said.

Who was that? "She's not even worth meeting him!" The group said.

Jinxx gave them a "if looks could kill, you would be ash right now." They all huffed and went off to mind their own business.

"I'm sorry, usually they are more welcoming to new comers." Coma said.

"Who's The Prophet?" I asked.

"You'll see! Come on!" Coma said taking my hand.

"Wait, wait, both of them should meet him at the same time." Jinxx said stopping him.

I pointed with my thumb toward the room we had slept in last night. "Should I go get her?"

"Let me go look at her head first. I want to see how bad it is." Jinxx said being led my Coma to the room.

When I opened the door I could see that Esther had found the clothes that had been left. Her pants only had rips in her knees. She had taken off the cloth around her head reveling a small scratch across her forehead.

"Oh well that isn't too bad," Jinxx said going over to her.

"Who are you? Where are we!" She shouted backing away from him and givng me a startled look.

I went over to her side. "This is Jinxx and Coma," I said pointing to them when their name was announced. "We're in Camp W. We ran away remember?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, 'cause where we were was shit!" She said patting her head with her ring finger. What happened to me?"

"You got a small cut. But it's healing nicely." Jinxx said after she had finally let him touch her cut.

"We can live here." I smiled at her,

She gave me alook of confusion. "Why are you talking to me like I'm two?"

"Well you have a..." She cut of Coma.

"My age didn't change. I'm still 19." She laughed.

Coma put up his hands. "Alright, Alright!" He laughed.

"So this can be home?" She asked, we nodded. "Sweet!"

"But first you two need to meet The Prophet." Jinxx said.

"The who-et?" Esther asked.

"Our leader, he will give you a house to stay in and your duties for the camp." Coma said.

"Oh, okay cool. When can we meet him?" She asked.

"Well, now if you want." Jinxx said surprised at her anxiousness.

"Let's get going then." Esther said walking toward the door.
