Wake me up when he gets up, okay? I'm going to sleep in his chambers tonight. I mean, I'm sure he won't have a problem with that, and if Basilisk thinks to look anywhere for me, it won't be there. *I turn, taking care not to look at IA while I do so, and stop just before I exist.* Oh, and if I point a gun at you...no offense. It's just a defensive habit. I only shoot when I'm given a reason.

*We finally reach the caves. I get off the motorcycle and look at the girl. She is weeping quietly.* Hey, calm down kid. It will heal up. Just making a point...*She looks up at me. Crouching down next to her, I take off my helmet and look at her* Look, why don't we get you inside, introduce you to Basilisk, and get some food inside you. What's your name? *Her first answer is so quiet, I don't hear her. She answers again, louder this time*
Rue
That's a pretty name hun. *I lift her off the bike. Something about this girl makes me feel protective towards her. Suddenly, guilt washes over me for what I did back at the village* Rue...I'm sorry...about...you know *I point to her head*
*I look straight into the strange girl's eyes and answer truthfully* You were cross. And found it hard to keep your temper. It doesn't hurt too much. And I have a home now. So I forgive you.
*We walk together in silence for a while, until we get to Basilisk's...office I guess. I turn to Rue* Don't be scared of Basilisk. You'll be fine as long as I'm there. Oh, and I'm Zombie by the way.
*I giggle* That's a strange name
Nickname. How I got it is a long story and I'll tell you later.

*I wake up with a jolt* Ow! *my wounds hurt a lot more than yesterday* Doc...you didn't help at all.
*Laughing* I kept you alive, boyo. You're welcome

*outside the doorway, Basilisk hears footsteps* Mamba... who's at the door?
*Mamba looks through the door hole* Looks like two girls, standing at de door. I recognize one of dem. She's cute. Hahaha

*When I wake up at first, I have no idea whatsoever where I am. When I remember, I stand up immediately, throwing myself into a state of dizzying, vision-blurring vertigo. I weave through the hallways to the doctor's area, fixing my hair (a frizzy mess, as usual), yawning and rubbing my eyes as I try not to run into walls. I have no idea how I actually get there, but I make it to the medical office and lean against the door, listening for voices. The doctor is talking to someone...that can mean that either he's insane (not ruling that one out) or IA's awake. I knock on the door lightly.* Am I...disturbing something?

Okay, Rue from now on, don't say a word unless Basilisk addresses you directly. *She nods obediently. I turn back to the door and knock. The Vipers don't scare me so much anymore. But I'm trust them even less than I did when we first got here*

I'm not his keeper and I'm NOT his girlfriend. *I brush past the doctor and into the office, grimacing at IA's wounds, which look more painful than they did when he was covered in dirt. They look...raw.* Hell, I'm in pain just from looking at you. Not about to sugarcoat it. May I ask what the fuck Basilisk DID to you? It would be nice to know what I'm going to throttle him for.

Sweet motherfucking lady of sorrows! They killed people like that in the olden days! What the fuck does he think he is, a Civil War slavemaster? Don't move, okay? Just don't. Shit, I wish I had taken the time out to learn how to help people....*I trail off, unsure of what to say because I'm fuming and panicking at the same time.*

Nope. Sorry, but I sort of slept in your room. I didn't exactly want to get in the way in here. And really, do you NEVER listen to me? Don't sit up! You're leaving bits of...skin....*I quickly avert my eyes and cover my nose and mouth.*

I sure hope so. But don't be in any hurry to get out of here. You've at least got medical care here. Out in the desert...I don't know where to find anyone who can help you out anymore.
