Sadessa's eyes fluttered open, her mouth felt dry. Her body ached, her head felt light. She slowly sat up then gasped, realizing she wasn't wearing a top, but bandages. She looked around, eyes adjusting to the soft light of the lamp that was sitting on a broken dresser across from her. She was in a bed, a soft, goose down bed. When she tried to move she winced, feeling the pain in her shoulder. Remembering the child, she let out a soft grunt. "Fuck.."

"Hey, you're awake.." A young man said as he stood at the doorway, holding a bowl and a glass cup.

Sadessa's eyes adjusted to the light, seeing a foggy figure coming from the dark and into the light. He sat down on the bed, and she saw him clearly.

He looked to be about her age, long hairstyle in an emo cut just barely covering his asian eyes. Pouty lips, scarred from being cut somehow. But it was his arms that bore more scars, they were in perfect rows. Indicating they were self inflicted.

She scooted back, frowning bitterly at him.

"Don't be scared.. I'm not like the rest of the community." he assured, eyes lowered as he set the bowl down on the night stand beside the bed. He handed her the glass of water and she to took it, guzzling down the water like she hadn't had a drink in days."Where is my gun? my clothes? Where the hell-"

The young man laughed. "Everything is in the closet there, and you're in my house. It's just on the outside of the inner community, safe from the rest of the crazies out there."

Sadessa's eyes were wary, distrusting. They moved from him to the empty glass. She felt him move closer. "Fuck!" she moved back until she fell off the other side of the bed.

Quick to act, the young man grabbed her hand and pulled her up. He tugged her hard, causing her to fall into him. A small smile spread on his face, even when she shoved herself from him, it stayed. "Are you okay?" a chuckle then.

"I'm fine.." She sniffed then got up off of the bed. She surveyed her surroundings before heading toward the closet. When she opened it, she heard a deeper voice call out from the other room.

"Leoric! We've got another mission, we need to find that fucking Wonka and-" Suddenly, the man who was shouting stopped when he saw Sadessa. He was tall, light skin with dirty blonde hair that was short. His brown eyes met Leoric's and he cleared his throat. "Didn't know she was awake."

Leoric got up and moved his eyes from Sadessa to the taller man. "Yeah, she seemed to be recovering wonderfully. She'll be ready to leave as soon as she has eaten."

Sadessa's nose curled up. "I am not eating Oompa Loompas, you can fuck that."

They both laughed. "Don't worry, sweetcheeks. It's dog." the blonde assured sarcastically, turning around and walking to the other room.

Leoric's sheepish smile stayed put. "Don't listen to Wolf, it's chicken. I promise."

Sadessa's scowl never faltered, even when she began to dress herself. She had to get herself back with her group. Not only are Loompas out to kill her but people too. And she couldn't trust these ones, they are apart of those desperate, crazed people from the inner city. They have very little, and they will do anything to sustain themselves. Turning to eating rats, Oompa Loompas and maybe even each other. Sadessa equipped herself with her pistols and then tied her bandana around her neck, all the while Leoric watched with shy eyes.

"Can you tell me where my group went?" Sadessa asked, frowning.

Leoric shifted his eyes from one end of the room to the other then sighed. "I'm sorry, I wasn't out there when Wolf got you. I was here, making sure nobody tried to take from us. We have very little, and we intend on protecting it from them." He got up then nodded his head to the door. "Maybe Wolf can answer your question."
