"Denton! You're awake!" A voice yelled. Denton looked over to see a girl that fit Ezmeralda's description, running over to him. Another person followed. She stopped in front of Denton and tried catching her breath. "Thomas! This is Denton. Denton! This is Thomas!"

Denton looked over at the taller man.

Thomas looked back. But it was different. He wasn't upset.

"Hi-" Denton greeted, grunting softly in pain from his arm.... Er.... Where his arm used to be.

Thomas nodded, awkwardly standing there. Ezmeralda looked at them with confusion written on her face. "Oh Okay-" she mumbled. "Um, your stuff and your owl are in the tent right over there. I also gave you some extra blankets and some snacks. I hope you feel better soon."

"I- Where is my arm?"

"Uh- ask- Oliver-" Ezmeralda shrugged before gasping. "Kira! Becca! Don't run near the fire!" She ran off leaving Thomas and Denton alone.

Thomas blushed before running off as well. Denton stood there and shook his head in confusion. He walked to his tent and smiled at his owl, Jasper, who was perched on the bedpost and his stuff (like his flannel) that had been placed neatly on the bed.

The day had passed and another surprise visitor made their appearance.... Or more two.

"Kitty, right?"

A girl sat in a chair. She had blonde hair with purple ends and wore a mask. She clearly had been alone for a while. She nodded as Ezmeralda watched her.

She had run into one of the supply groups on their way back.

Ezmeralda turned to another person. "And Daylan?"

He nodded before getting up. "I have to go."

Daylan had come across the camp, running from walkers. Though he had no intention to stay.

Ezmeralda panicked and shook her head. "No! No it's not safe out there-"

"I need to get to my mom, Shortstacks. Please-"

Ezmeralda nodded and Daylan turned away.

Ezmeralda watched him walk out of the tent and whimpered. "Okay- uh- are you okay? I noticed you were limping when you showed up-?"

Kitty shrugged, "I Tripped over a stump while running from assholes in the city-"

Ezmeralda nodded. "Well, we have Hulu Ghost and Oliver Scott to help you... would you like me to bring you over there?"

"Nah- I can do it myself-" Kitty laughed as she got up and limped out. Ezmeralda trailed behind her, catching a glimpse of Daylan walking away. She sighed and looked down.

"Ezmeralda!"

Thomas ran over, blush dusted his cheeks.

"Yes Thomas? Are you okay?" Ezmeralda asked, worry flashed across her face. "You look sick-"

"No- No- I just- Denton-"

"What about him?"

Thomas went silent and let out a nervous laugh. "Denton-" Ezmeralda tilted her head. "Ya did good-" Thomas stated nervously before blushing. Ezmeralda smiled softly and giggled.

It seems Thomas has a little crush.

"Not so against me bringing another person to the camp now, are you?" Ezmeralda asked with a smirk. Thomas gently punched her arm. "Will you get along with Oliver now?"

"Nope!" Thomas exclaimed. Ezmeralda sighed.

"Why?"

"Woah look at the time, I should check on Denton!"

"Thomas!?"

But Thomas was already off towards Dentons tent.

Ezmeralda looked around. Everyone seemed occupied... busy... she was alone.

"THAT MOTHERFUCKER GOT BLOOD IN MY HAIR!" Virtual yelled as her blood drenched hair sat at her side. Luckily, they still had showers. The plumbing hadn't gone out yet which was weird. But the water wasn't considered the cleanest.

"You know- if you used a gun and did a clean kill you wouldn't get blood all over yourself Virtual-"

"But that's no fun! Letting their blood spill and the life leave their dead eyes is fun!"

"Remind me to never get on your bad side-" Spot mumbled.

They walked into medical to see Kitty.

"Oh hey! A new person! How fun!" Virtual exclaimed.

Kitty looked at Virtual in fear, mostly from the blood all over her- "My name is Kitty-"

"Kitty? I'm Spot, and The scary red head is Virtual"

"HEY!"

Kitty giggled.

Alistair joined in the tent, hiding his hand. "Is Hulu or Oliver in here?" He asked.

"Hulu went to grab stuff for my ankle-" Kitty stated.

Alistair nodded before sitting in a chair.

"What did you do Ali?"

Alistair pulled his hand out that had a huge cut on it.

"I cut myself on an axe-"

"HEY!" A voice yelled outside. Everyone perked up.

"THERE IS A GROUP OF WALKERS ON THEIR WAY HERE!!!!"
