Survivor - A Camren Fanfiction

• Chapter Ten •

"So you come back here, without any meat, and you bring a dog?" Colonel Kane asks, walking towards me, taking a closer look at the puppy in my arms, which has just woken up.
She looks up again and glares at me.
".. Is that a fucking joke?"
I look at her and hold the puppy closer, making sure she won't hurt him or something.
I really don't trust her.
"We found him in a restaurant and he's so small and-.." Normani starts but Kane cuts her off.
"Do you see any dogs here?" She asks her, looking at Normani, "Have you ever wondered WHY we don't keep dogs here? Dogs need food and we don't even have enough to feed all these people here!"
The puppy starts licking my hand and wags his tail.
"But Colonel.. It's a little one, he won't eat too much, I'll go and hunt for our food."
Kane walks closer to me and I hide the little dog under my jacket, making sure she won't even get the idea of touching him.
"We won't take more rations than we usually do, it's just a puppy.." Normani says, standing next to me.

If looks could kill I'd be pretty fucking dead.
"I swear, Jauregui.." she says and shoves her face in mine but I don't move an inch, "Don't test me. I'm the colonel here not some dirty chick we saved from the street before those runners could make dog food out of you for your little friend over there."
"Woah.." Mani says and takes a step back, "Chill.."
I still don't move and keep looking her straight in the eyes.

After a few seconds, that feel like hours, she leaves.
"Bitch" Normani mumbles and pats my shoulder, "Let's go back to the others.."
I nod and look down at the puppy who's panting heavily, wagging his tail in excitement and I can't help but smile a little.

After we arrive at our building we walk to our apartment and walk inside.
"We're baaack!" Normani says and puts her gear down.
"Heeey!" I hear Dinah's voice coming from the back of the room before I carefully place my bag on the ground.
When I look up I see Camila walking towards me.
"Hey Baby.." I say and give her a short kiss, "Told you I'd be home soon."
She smiles and gives me a hug when a quiet whimper escapes my jacket.
Camila jumps a bit and looks around.
"What was that?"
I giggle and unwrap the blanket, so the puppy can stick his head out.
Camila gasps and kneels down to have a better look.
"Oh my god, it's so cute!" She smiles and strokes his head, "aww, where did you get it?"
"We found him in a restaurant inside a cabinet. We just couldn't leave him.."
Camila smiles even wider and takes him from me, holding him like a baby.
"Look at yoouu.." she coos and kisses his head.
The puppy looks up at her and sniffs her face.

Ally and Dinah come as well to have a closer look and they are as delighted as Camila.
"I've always wanted a puppy!" Ally says, smiling widely and pets his head.
"I swear, if he pees on my bed I'll throw him out, no matter how adorable he is" Dinah says, chuckling a little, "Oh man, won't he get big?"
"Yeah, but it'll take a while.. And when he's big enough we can take him with us when we're hunting" I say, watching them mob the little dog and showering him with hugs and kisses.

He barks and tries to move away from them, jumping out of Camila's arms and hiding behind the couch.
Camila pouts and follows it, kneeling down and reaching her hand out.
"Come here, it's fine.. "
The puppy whimpers quietly and moves away.
"He's a little scared, Camz.." I tell her and reach for the meat on the table, "Here, try this.."
She nods and takes a piece, offering it to the puppy.
First he lust looks at her and sniffs a little but then he walks towards her and starts eating.
"Yayyy" Camila cheers and smiles, "See? I'm not dangerous at all.."
The puppy starts wagging his tail and looks at her, before placing his front paws on her thighs.
She grins and pets his head.

"We still need a lot of things" Ally says, "He needs a bed and a leash and toys and all of this stuff.."
"Yeah" Normani says, looking at her, "try to get those things in the middle of this crappy situation."
In the meanwhile the puppy decided to turn around and lie down on Camila's thighs, trying to grab her hand with his paws and bite her fingers.
Camila enjoys this and plays with him.
"Hehehe, he finally likes me."
