As we get to the camp the front entrance is familiar, but nothing else. Only the view from the tree helps my memory.

"Please leave your horse here, I'll take you to Ms. Grimshaw." Dutch asks, more like commands I guess. I hop off Kira and look for Levi, horses jumping away in horror at the sight of a predator. "Levi, come." I call for him, he goes around the horses then to me.

We follow Dutch through the camp and do and older lady, yelling at another older man. Lying wasted in the ground with a beer in his hand. "Ms. Grimshaw." The woman looks to us and sees Levi, going back a bit.

"This is the woman I was talking about, clean her up... Let her rest, she's been through a bit today." The woman nods then motions me to come closer with her hands.

"Y/N L/N right?" I nod, "You seem the kind soul, let's get that blood off." Me and Levi follow her to a barrel of water. She places a towel on a table right next to it. "Rinse, then dry with that. Call for me if you need anything." I nod that look at Levi who's been looking up at me for a bit.

"It's ok. We're just in a tough spot right now." I pet him then start washing the blood off. The blood on my hands and arms is soon gone. So is the lot on my face.

I cup some in my hands and drop it on Levi, he flinches then realizes it's me. I grab more then rub the water by his mouth getting the blood off there, then his paws. I hear foot steps then look up, two woman looking at me with shocked expressions.

A curly blond and pretty brunette. Both looking like they've never seen a woman with mud on them. "H-Hello." I stutter out then keep getting the blood of Levi.

"I-Is that a? Cougar?" The brunette asks with fear, looking ready to run. "Yes, he's not bad ya 'know." I giggle out then rise. There shorter then me. "Go." I whisper then Levi turns around and goes closer to the woman. They back up until the brunette goes down and touches him on the head. Levi let's out a small purr then nuzzles his head into her hand.

Her fear is gone in a flick of a finger, now looking at Levi with wonder. "His names Levi." The blonde looks to me with a strange tint of anger.

"I want to make one thing clear with me and you," she storms up to me. Like she thinks she can tower over me, her looking short and not even close to scary or intimidating.

"Don't do anything funny... Or I'll shoot you! Got it?" I chuckle "or what? You're gonna try and hit me from all the way down there?" My face goes from humorous to dead serious. Knowing I'm more intimidating, "Let me get one thing straight here, threatening me will be one thing you'll regret. If you do anything funny to me or Levi..." I get my voice louder and yell in her face. "I'll cut your head off like I did to that god damn O'driscoll!" She doesn't have a clue of what I'm saying.

But it's a threat.

"Fuck off." I mutter lastly then turn around and stomp away, Levi getting out of the other woman's grasp and following me.

I only making it a whole minute of my usual stone face, it slowly turns into a small crying face. I feel my face getting red and puffy as the tears fall. I manage to make it behind a tree before anyone can see me, then start my small crying session. Curled with my knees to my chest, hugging my legs for dear life as I think... I want to go home...

Levi nudging me time and time again, wanting to see me ok. He does this when I'm sad. Trying to get a better reaction out of me, just for him. My head still tucked in, I pet his head. Then hear footsteps.

I look up seeing Mr. Smith. "You seem happy." His sarcasm only making me smile, he passes me a hanker-chief. I wipe the tears away, rubbing my nose to get the gross snot off. He takes it out of my hand and places it back in his pocket.

"You know, most of the people here are... Kind, why not talk to the other lady's?" I shake my head no, "I think I've made a bad impression...." He sighs crouching down with me.

"I was new here only about... Six months before this, I didn't get a warm welcoming, didn't expect one... But if you're gonna live with us, let alone be with us whenever... You've gotta at least make some friends to help you..." I sigh in defeat, that's true...

A bunch of no good bandits seem bad, but why not know them...? If I'm eating there food it's the least I should do...

"I'll try?" I look to him, his usual stone face...
I'm
He gets up, offering his hand. I take it and let him help me up. "Try going to the main fire, most of the people go around there." I nod then start walking.

Firstly I go to my horse, Levi expecting me to only grab something out of the bag. I flick my fingers then point at the small spot next to Kira and a tree.

He sits and looks to me confused. "Stay here, don't wonder." I start walking through the camp, getting small glares and looks.

The camp fire soon in sight, I sit in the log, looking around the small area. Mr. Escualla, Mr. Van der Linde and Mr. Morgan are the people I know. Two woman, one from early here to.
