"All done, just be careful not to pull the stitching out." Kate said as I pulled my shirt over my head.
"Thanks." I jumped off the table.
"You should show us what you can do." the kid named Andy asked.
"No, that can wait for another time. For now you need rest and looks like a shower could be your best friend." John pointed out.
"I could really use a shower." I agreed.
"Sonya, you want to show her where the shower is and get her some clean clothes." John spoke to a red haired woman.
"Yeah follow me sweetheart." she motioned for me to follow her.
I nodded a thanks at John before following the woman, "thank you."
"You're welcome, once you are in I'll get you some clothes and a towel. You can use whatever is in there and you look to be about my size so you can borrow some of my clothes. And they call me Dreamer, but my name is Sonya" she smiled as she pushed a door open reveling a bathroom.
"Alex."
"I heard, enjoy the hot water." she smiled as she walked away.
I turned the shower on to let the water warm up while I got undressed, I folded the muddy clothes and set them off to the side with my muddy shoes on under them. The moment I stepped into the shower I felt a calming sensation wash over me as the mud poured down the drain, I ran my fingers through my soon to be clean hair.
"Hey I'm going to set the clothes and towel on the sink, and I even managed to dig up a pair of shoes I hope they fit." Sonya said before closing the door behind her.
I could feel the lightning that ran through my body as the water ran over me, I quickly washed up and stepped out of the shower and dried off with the towel that was left for me. I wrapped the towel around my body as I looked through the clothes she left, there was a yellow piece of paper:
The underwear and bra I have never worn, I promise.
Heart
Sonya :)
I laughed a little putting the note aside and picking on the underwear and bra she left me to wear, I quickly got dressed. She left me a pair of black shorts that stopped right below my ass....which I really didn't like. But beggars can't be choosers, she left me a neon blue wife-beater and a short gray vest. I pulled on the blue knee high socks and then the black boots, I looked at myself in the mirror for a moment. I seen a pair of scissors on the counter and picked them up.
I walked out of the bathroom and down the hall where everyone was sitting, "thanks for the clothes." I said as I walked into the room where Sonya and John where.
"Yeah, they look good on you. Love the hair cut." she smiled as she grabbed a piece of my hair.
"Thanks, figured it's kind of a fresh start so why not." I smirked.
"Oh hi." a girl a little younger than me walked into the room.
"Lauren this is Alex, just brought her in." John introduced us.
"It's nice to me you." she smiled.
"Likewise."
"Will go get some rest, tomorrow we'll see what you got." John stated.
I nodded and walked away with Lauren, "hope its in an open field." I whispered.
Lauren laughed, "probably not, not a lot of space around here. Anyways come join my brother and I, we found a few old board games."
"Sounds like a plan."
The next day I was walking outside with John and some other chick, "Alex this is Clarice, she's going to be joining us today. Now if you'd both put the coffee down."
Clarice tossed her coffee while I quickly chugged mine down, when I lowered my mug they were both staring at me. "Hey may not be the best coffee in the world, but it's still coffee." I sat the mug down next to the other.
"Alright think of something you care about, anything at all." he told her.
"Can it be...I don't know...a warm jelly donut?" Clarice asked.
"I want it to be a warm jelly donut." I said.
John looked back at me and then back to her, "yeah for right now it can be a jelly donut."
After she tried to constraint something caught his eye, "what the.." he trailed off.
"Oh this is like your thing." Clarice pointed out as John knelt down looking a foot prints in the ground.
"So your like a human bloodhound?" I asked
John looked over his shoulder at me, "this is bad." he grabbed my shoulder as he turned us back towards the hideout.
"Oh wait." I slipped out of his grasp and ran back and grabbed the coffee mugs. John looked at me like I was crazy and Clarice was trying to hide her giggling, "what? I have a feeling its going to be a long day...going to need mugs for coffee."
"Don't you think you might be a little young to need coffee?" he asked.
"Coffee is life, I missed it while I was on the run." I smiled.
"I guess we should always enjoy the little things." John said as he laughed a little while we make our way back inside.
