Curiosity Rewritten

Chapter 14; They Have Curiosity For Memory Loss

Sabrina faced the window. She was staring outside. Cameira wanted to get her attention without calling out to her.

She hit something off a dresser. It fell to the carpeted ground with a muted clatter and a muffled thud. Sabrina turned, her eyes darting where the item sat at Cameira's feet. They moved up until they stopped on her hair and Sabrinas jaw dropped.

"No.." Shock laced her tone, "Cami, you.. What? Why?"

"Protection. My hair is difficult to put up and hair ties are hard to come by. So I cut it off."

"Blunt as always."

"Go cleanse," Cameira sighed, and picked up the basket Kale had given Sabrina that now sat on the desk, "Or I'll burn your new clean clothes."

"Cameira!"

Cameira dropped the basket when Sabrina came near, "Sorry, your stench gave me a spasm. Won't happen again, bud."

"Cami, that's not how that works," Sabrina picked up the basket and walked towards the bathroom, "You're a dick."

"I am what I eat!"

"Screw you!"

"Is that a limited time offer? How much is the offer?" Sabrina rolled her eyes and closed the bathroom door, ignoring Cameira's stupid remarks.

Quick question. What's the best time of the day?

Cameira has always said dinner. But when the bombs hit she didn't have all that great dinners any more. She's been feeling quite deprived, living off of cans. She was arranging her weapons bag and reloading the gun she always kept at her side, her bow and arrows rested in the closet, when her day got even more exciting.

A knock at the door alerted both of them. Sabrina and Cameira stood. They looked at each other but neither moved.

     They rolled for initiative. Cameira scored a natural 20. She went first.

     She opened the door to find Kale. When she looked behind her, she found the guys. Kai stood with his arms crossed, his jaw set as usual, his hair was neat for once and his mismatched eyes stared at the ceiling. Farris had an arm against the wall as a way to lean against it, his back was most likely still in pain from the arrow. His legs were crossed at the ankles and his brown shirt was a size or two too big.

     Kale grabbed Cameira and dragged her out. Nearly throwing her out of the room and into the hall. Kai's instinct was to move to catch her while Farris' was to move away. Cameira stumbled before catching herself, her hand on Kai's arm. She smiled and backed away, Kale was dragging Sabrina out of the room as well.

     "Come on you skinny twigs, let's have some real dinner," she paused, "It's very early, so this isn't really dinner. But. Close enough. Um. Brinner?"

     "What time is it?" Farris asked.

     "Almost 8 in the morning," she shrugged, "I hope you all slept. Today's the tour."

     A table, a normal wooden bench outside. This was where they sat. Kale sent them in line to get their food. Cameira naturally looked around to see if she knew anyone. She paid no mind to the three that stood closest to her.

      "Cameira? Are you looking for anyone in particular?"

     Kai made his presence known to her. His hair was a mess again. He wore a red shirt that differed from his normal blue one. It was longsleeved, a good kind of tight, and bright red. The sleeves were rolled up and his arms were crossed as he looked at Cameira.
