[Event] took a break on the edge of a path to rest her feet. She hadn't been able to find the pieces she was looking for, and was running out of rumoured areas.
walked right into her as she had been following a stray kitten. She made a sound and sort of flopped right on the other as she didn't expect to run into anyone.
moved as quick as her reflexes could carry her and rolled away. She unsheathed her knife and held it up protectively in front of her, not taking any risks with strangers. She hadn't exactly found any >
friendly companions since this whole ordeal started.
pulled herself up as she looked to the other in confusion. She blinks before looking around. " You better leave. The militia are nearby."
looked to where the other woman had looked. "How much time until they're upon us?" She needed more time to find the components she had to find.
frowned as she looked at the direction where she knew where the militia were situated. " They're just over there in the clearing where the trees are taking a break. If you're_
_scavenging, your best bet is to leave and come back later." She didn't want people to get harmed.
kept her knife tight in her palm but lowered it, trying to conceal it more. "I'm not scavenging. I'm just looking for a few parts. Once I had it, I'll be gone."
caught notice of the knife but shook her head, " Scavenging or not, it's better not to risk your own life. You can always come back for what you're looking for after."
could hear the select voices approaching and slowly started backing off, being as silent as her feet would allow. She went to hide around some fallen trees, trying her best to camouflage herself.
led the militia away on the other hand as she didn't want the other woman to be marked as a scavenger. The militia was there to protect her on their way to the next trade city.
kept as silent as the grave as she listened to the footsteps get fainter and fainter. She slowly emerged after what she thought was a decent amount of time that had passed.
patted the other on the shoulder as she had gone back to tell the other girl that the coast was clear. " Hej, just a heads up. There will be another round of militia_
_ patrolling the area tonight so you best get your stuff done soon."
quickly stepped back after the other had touche her, brushing her shoulder where she had touched. "Okay. Thanks." She tread carefully to some boxes, searching through their contents.
smiles warmly, " Take care." She went to catch up with the militia group after fixing up her own jacket. She liked to stray off a little once in a while in case there were any unlucky stragglers.
didn't exactly question why the woman gave her that information, but because of it she was able to stay and not get caught. She continued to rummage around, finding one part she needed but not the other yet.
sighed as the militia seemed to be getting tired. She waited for them to find shelter as she looked around for good specimens for her experiment.
quietly made her way around the environment, paying focus to her surroundings as much as she could. She was still nervous about the militia being around, but she had to risk it. She was in desperate need of >
this component.
found an interesting looking plant and worked on extracting it out from the ground into a carrying vessel to bring back.
shifted over a piece of metal, accidentally letting it go and unable to help the loud clang it made against the surrounding structures and remnants.
tensed as she heard the sound. The militia that was near her was alerted too and started heading to the area to investigate.
knew that the echo would ring out across the barren landscape. She quickly scrambled to the lowest point she could get to, hiding under a broken structure. She tried to keep her breathing quiet, but the >
sudden rush of adrenaline made that hard to do.
followed the small group of militia to check out the problem. She hoped the woman she met earlier wasn't in trouble.
wasn't injured or in any pain, she had just acted careless. She wrapped her arms around her knees, trying to make herself look as little as physically possible. She was willing to stay like this for hours if >
it came down to such a decision.
heard the soldiers assume it might be a wild animal as there was no sign of human activity when they scoured the area earlier. The Dane caught sight of the woman as the soldiers drew near. She went over to_
stop them and approach the woman herself. " Hej, the animal is gone. You can come out now." She explained to the soldiers that this woman had probably gotten lost travelling.
listened intently but kept to her hiding place, almost shy and afraid to come out. She had heard what happened to those found rummaging around, and knew there would be no forgiveness to her. She doubted her >
reasoning would be valid in this case as well.
extended her hand to the other. " I have more authority over them if you're worried and I'd hate it if you end up getting killed because of me."
reached out her hand but hesitated before lightly taking hers. She didn't trust her, but she knew she was caught and so she may as well accept that fact. He was silent and kept her head down after she stood.
smiles and held the other's hand gently. She waved off the militia, reminding them to prepare camp before it was too dark to see.
took her hand back once she was up, keeping quietly to herself. She didn't know what to do or say, and felt exposed now. She had spent long enough trying to avoid anyone so she'd not be caught.
smiles, whispering to the other. " We have food and protection. I'll have you dropped off at the nearest trade market."
stayed close to her, seeing as she seemed genuinely safe. "Water, that's all I need." She liked the idea of protection, even if it was just for a night. She still felt out of place considering she had avoided >
the militia all this time.
held onto the other's hand to reassure her. " You sure? We have some granola bars and deer jerky if you want." She lead the other back to the camp that was being set up.
tried to quiet down the sounds in her stomach by covering it with her arm. "It's... it's fine, really. I'll be gone as soon as possible, and the less that there is to keep me here the better."
pouts, " Trust me. The food you eat here is more likely better than what you've eaten for months."
knew that that conclusion was more than true. Her food supplies had dwindled, and she only had a few days left before she'd have to resort to more drastic measures. She kept by the other female, not feeling >
overly welcomed in the group. She wasn't much of a talker or anything, and she just felt awkward now.
knew there were many dangers if she let the woman be. She retrieved the food that was more than enough for the both of them before going to her sleeping area. It was quiet and less people would disturb them.
kept in her shadow the whole time, still feeling nervous of the militia. She always had social problems, but now it just seemed to get worse. She looked around at the others sleeping area, thinking it looked >
rather comfortable.
smiles and patted down where the bed rolls were on the ground. " Sit here." She check the food before warming it up on the portable stove she had.
hesitantly sat down, taking off the heavy jacket she had on and putting it on her lap. She was tired after her search today.
pats the other on the back and handed her the food. " It's small but sleep with me okay? It'll be more difficult to find a safer resting spot for the night."
flinched at the pat on her back, not sure how to comment on the situation. "I... I guess I can..." She looked to the other, a little worried. "Nothing will happen, right?" She was paranoid about the men >
in the militia still.
smiles warmly to the other, " If they touch me or you, they'll be executed. You can say I'm an important person and they'll hold up their morales and duties."
felt a little more secure after hearing that, but she'd still worry. She pulled her jacket a little closer to her on her lap, still thinking about searching for more supplies the next day.
glanced over and smiled, " Stick with me until we reach a spot where you can leave without catching any attention." She said quietly.
played with some torn fur on her jacket. "Is there really anywhere on this planet that I can go without catching any attention anymore? All I want to do is survive but when people see me looking for items >
they assume I'm scavenging and all I need is a few things. I take only what I need, which is very little."
smiles, understanding the other's dilemma. " There are but it's too far and dangerous go to those places because of the distance. Even so, you'll have to move far out of First City's reach if that is the case."
ran a hand through her tangled hair. "I don't even know if I can consider this living... what's the point, when everything I know and had is gone?"
chuckles as she started to eat, " The point is that you live a good life regardless of what has happened and try to rebuild from scratch. Items are replaceable, our lives are naught."
watched the other eat as she continued to sit there. "I still don't see the point in living on when nothing is the same. And especially when you know things will never be the way they were."
shrugs, " So? This is the chance you get to try to make things normal again. Sure it seems futile, but I wouldn't want to waste away when I still have so much potential to make something good happen."
sighed quietly under her breath. "There's nothing I care for anymore. I honestly don't even know why I'm living.." She had a rather dark output on the situation, but she had nothing but her hope taken from her.
flicked the other on the nose lightly, " But there still has to be a reason, one you might not think of right away to explain why you're here now. Besides, if you have certain useful talents, would you like_
_ to work with me in First City? I would rather put it to good use then lose the chance to have someone with potential."
got startled from the other flicking her nose, quickly putting her hand over to cover it. "The only reason I'm alive I guess... is because I'm too scared to kill myself, even though I have no hope left." She >
tried to think of the pros and cons with joining the other, but she didn't know what to do. She felt like she was in a limbo, with her own mind.
laughs, finding amusement in the other. " I'm what you call the Director of the R & D division in First City. If you have any skills related to tinkering or food production along with some competency, I'll take
_ you under my wing as an assistant. The benefits of course is food and better living conditions." She paused after. " Not many people get this chance but you seem like the person I want."
felt more shy and awkward when the other laughed, taking it personally. "I'll... see... maybe..." She was getting doubts about this situation.
nods warmly, " Now eat before your food gets cold and my stove would have been a waste of energy." She finished her own food by then.
looked down at it before slowly starting to eat. It was a lot better than what she had been eating, since she mostly just had cold food she could trade for. Nothing at all of this elegance.
smiles, " It shouldn't be too warm from the time you let it cool."
couldn't reply since she was enjoying the food, unable to really stop for a moment to talk. If working with the other would been like this, she could consider the offer more so.
wasn't someone of ill will towards those would wanted to live and contribute. She was a fair person after all. She leaned back, lying on her side of the bed with a content_
_sigh. " You know, some day I do even wonder how I'm still even alive after all the things I've gone through since the war."
finished her plate of food quicker than she would have liked, but she did enjoy something warm after so long. She kept seated up with her jacket still in her lap. "I wonder why some are alive when there were >
people more deserving to live."
snorts, " Nej, it's not that. Some of us still have things to do here while we're still alive. Who knows what happens after we die? Might as well make it significant."
still couldn't see on her level. She thought there could be a lot of people that she had ran into that should be dead. She curled up and placed her jacket around herself to keep warm for the night, trying to >
think of what will happen tomorrow, and if she should leave before everyone is awake.
nudged the other lightly, " At least wash up a bit before you sleep." She nodded to the little module nearby that had a dish for washing up.
looked over to it before shaking her head. "It's fine, I'll be okay or the night." Secretly though she was a bit of a clean and germ freak, and didn't like sharing much of anything. Water was one of them.
raised a brow, " You're the first person to reject clean water."
looked over to it a second time. "How clean is 'clean' though? I've never found any clean water in my journeys." It was the main reason she had left her sheltered area and hunted for the piece she needed.
grins, " I'm the one who made the machine to purify and recycle it. If you don't want to try even drinking it. That's your loss." She went to wash up after.
had become quite thirsty, but she was still hesitant. She had a huge issue of not being able to trust anyone and it had only plummeted after the war. She was almost paranoid that it was tainted, or tampered.
finished up and made sure the machine worked as intended. She recycled the water and handed a small glass for the other filled with the water in storage. " Try it."
held the glass like precious treasure in her hand, knowing how valuable it was. She brought it to her lips and took a faint sip, letting the water go down her throat slowly to see if there was any bad >
after taste. It seemed pretty filtered, and rather surprised her for the most part. She didn't think she'd have access to water like this so easily, and unexpectedly.
smiles, " There are electrolytes in it too in case of cholera break outs. We don't have a lot since we're still tapping into the water table for better sources of uncontaminated water."
still inspected the water before taking a gulp of it, slowly giving in. "If I can find a filter, I'll be able to convert any water into drinkable water, with only a 90% chance of mild contamination." She had >
become quite innovative from this whole experience, if it could be called that.
nods, " Constructing the filter isn't exactly the problem. Its the contents inside the water. There's more than just what the eye can see in it."
finished off the glass, licking her lips to keep them moist. "I know. I have everything in my system to clean out most bacteria and harmful toxins." She had been working on such a device since before the war, >
but got more motivated when she found out it would be used to save her life, as well as others if she decided to share her invention.
smiles, " You're not the only one that thinks that. So far this is the best versions we've got. Only problem now is efficiency and the materials."
put the glass down beside her, getting comfortable again with her jacket. "Do you happen to have a spare filter that can perfectly fit into a tube with the diameter of a hose?"
blinks, thinking for a bit. " I might. Give me a moment." She went to her bag, finding a box that contained replacement parts before handing the aforementioned part to the other.
took it gingerly into her hands and looked it over carefully. "It needs to be the exact fit or else it's useless. Can I borrow this, and find out? The device is back at my shelter. It's a bit of a walk." If >
she wasn't so tired she'd be more surprised to have finally found the piece, but she didn't want to get her hopes up in case it wasn't the right one.
blinks, " We can head there tomorrow. Its too dangerous now to travel without being hunted."
sighed as she protected the filter and put it into her bag. "I'll be up before sunrise. With or without you. I have to get back to my shelter either way."
glanced over, " You wanting to die already? You do realize it's going to be hell sneaking out with guards in this camp without being suspicious."
quietly laid herself down, zipping up her jacket to act like a large sleeping bag. "I'll just tell them I'm leaving. They should know that I slept here, shouldn't they?"
shook her head, " They're here to protect me. You'll seem suspicious either way if you leave without me."
hid a frown behind the fur on her coat. "Then I'll sneak out without anyone noticing me. I've done it a few times before. I'm positive I can do it again." Her paranoia paid off with being quiet and sneaky.
shook her head, " You might as well give me back that filter if you're going to do that. It's not fun and games. We do have infra-red technology to catch anyone."
Angelien
was
trying to think of other solutions now. "If we don't leave by sunrise, we won't reach my shelter before dark. But I need this piece." She understood that it wasn't fun and games, and that this whole situation >
Angelien
was
serious. But she was serious and stubborn about her ways as well.
sighed, " I know. I never said we won't leave, I meant that you shouldn't be sneaking around to have people assume that you're suspicious from your behaviour."
covered her head with the hood of her jacket. "Then tomorrow before sunrise we leave. But if you're not on time, I will get annoyed." She didn't like being late, even if there was no actual time line set. She >
Angelien
was
still nervous about being here, but tried to hide it as best she could behind her imaginary shield.
roll her eyes and nudged her lightly, " You're taking up my half." She thought the other was overanalyzing things.
had a tenancy to over analyze things, a bit paranoid in her mind now. She just wanted to make sure she was safe, since she was the only one who could look out for herself now. She did blush when she noticed >
that she was taking up the extra space, so she shifted as far away from the others side as she could, not wanting to touch her for personal reasons.
made sure everything was cleaned up and not accidents would happen. She pulled up the blanket around them, making sure that the other was close and safe.
pushed the blanket off some, seeing as she had her jacket to keep her warm and protected. She had issue sharing things with people, and imagined that this was better, even if it was a tad bit uncomfortable.
fixed it up to keep it onto the other. " The weather gets worse at night. You should know that better than me."
didn't move, not wanting to cause a commotion or continuously refuse the other. "I know. This jacket is insulated with fibre that keeps in heat. If I open it though it releases it, making it perfect for any >
occasion." It was something she had worked on before the war happened, and was glad it managed to last.
raised a brow, " I put the blanket ontop of your jacket so you have more layers. What are you trying to protest about?" She didn't get the other woman from how simple things really were.
Angelien
was
known to over think things and over complicate things. She went silent after and closed her eyes, trying to sleep under these stressful conditions. She tried to push her paranoia away.
put her arm over the other after, " Just sleep. I know things have been rough but enjoy what you have now ja?"
scooched from her arm, opening her eye lightly to look at her. "I am fine sleeping on my own, thanks. I do enjoy what I have, which is myself."
rolled her eyes, " I'm just making sure you don't ditch in the middle of the night." She found the other quite taxing from all of this.
closed her eye again and got comfortable once more. "I won't. You drove it into my head that if I leave I'll be hunted down like an animal. Besides, this isn't too bad a place to sleep."
yawns and closes her eyes once she got comfortable. " Just drilling it into your head cause I wan't you to stay alive." She muttered after.
didn't see what made her more privileged than others. Just the fact she was found and caught made her different. She pushed the thought aside as she tried to get some sleep, knowing it would only get more >
precious and valuable as the days went on.
just had an intuition that the other had great potential. She slept after, resting quietly in the meantime.
looked around every time she heard a sound, but eventually her sleepiness took over and she feel asleep. She managed to have a pretty calm time sleeping, rather than jolting awake every few hours.
slept peacefully as she rested away. She woke up early in the morning to start heading out.
heard the commotion and movement from the other, forcing herself to get up and prepare herself for that day. She did enjoy the restful sleep, but knew it wouldn't last there forever.
put everything away and gave a small ration to the other as well. " Wash up and eat. We're heading out."
rubbed the sleep from her eyes and washed her face, drying it carefully to make sure it didn't get dirty again before washing her hands. She took the small ration and ate it slowly, treating each bite with >
respect so her stomach felt more full, and she could taste the food. It wasn't the best she had, but everything had become terrible since the war.
thought it was better than nothing. The entire camp was cleared out and packed up quickly as she made a roll call for the militia to make sure no one was missing.
got all of her belongings together and into her bag before hiding in some shadows near where they had slept, not wanting to draw attention to herself as the other female gave out orders.
nods, glancing to the female after. " Where did you need to go?" She need to make sure they had a clear and safe path.
looked around to find the direction she needed. "It will just be us, yes? The militia won't be following you around?" She was quite secretive about her hideaway.
shook her head, " They come with us. They won't hurt anyone unless someone is attacking us."
looked to her and shook her head. "That can't happen. It's either you and I, or just me." She didn't trust anyone in the militia, and would rather risk her life than for them to know her whereabouts.
ran a hand through her hair, " Well, we can kill you now if that's what you want." She was serious.
Angelien
was
taken aback but the straight-forwardness of the statement. "I need to get back to my shelter, but I refuse to let anyone near it."
sighs, " So? It's not like we're going to hunt people down. I can't play nice for very long if you're going to think that shelter is more important than letting you waltz around with important information."
hitched her bag on her back and started walking. "I don't know anything. I just want to get to my 'home'. Thanks for what you've supplied me with."
rubbed her forehead glancing over her troops. She gave out an order to just open fire at the woman, heading to where the other one in command was. She was too nice these days.
felt her shoulders tense when she heard the order, and took the few precious seconds she had left to bolt as far away as she could. She hadn't taken the others words seriously, and assumed she wouldn't have >
opened fired on her so quickly, let alone so suddenly in this sense, even if she did receive a warning.
went on her way, asking them politely to hunt the other to an extent.
began to pant as she ran faster, until she mistook a step and twisted her ankle in such a way where she had to stop running for a second. She saw and went into an abandoned warehouse, finding a place to hide >
while she nursed her ankle with whatever provisions she had in hand.
found it amusing how the other wanted to live now. She shook her head and went to work on some plant extractions.
hadn't expected to be back stabbed like that. She tried to control her breathing as she bandaged up her ankle, leaning against a wall to keep herself balanced for the moment. She kept her ears open for the >
nearby militia.
just didn't like people who thought they could do whatever they wanted. She went back to her research, guessing it was just a shame.
wasn't much of an authority follower since the war, but this was something she was adamant about. She only came out when she thought the militia was gone and slowly made her way back to her shelter.
might have actually send the militia to follow the other once she came out of hiding.
thought the militia had left, and felt safe enough to head home. She kept herself as hidden in the shadows as her condition would allow, and took frequent breaks to give her foot a rest. When she saw the >
familiar terrain she began to feel more comfortable, and safe.
hummed as she relayed instructions. She had the militia scour the area without being detected and purge it if they found anything that was part of the resistance.
found her secret entrance and looked around before lifting up the door from the ground and slipping her way in, trying to put as little pressure on her foot as she could. She made sure to lock the door with >
many different locks to keep those out, and hoped that the camouflage was good enough to keep it a secret shelter.
waited patiently as she conducted her experiments. She figured it was a good way to test the new explosives.
took her bag and put it on the ground before fishing for the filter, glad she still had it. When she managed to find it she put it in the device she needed it for, smiling as it was a perfect fit. Now her >
invention could work.
finished up her experiment before hearing a rather loud and audible boom in the distance. She guessed the explosives worked very well and they were going to smoke out the shelter.
fell over from the explosion, clutching the device close to her stomach. She looked around frantically, wondering how she was found out. She had to hurry she knew, and packed all she could into her bag that >
would help her before needing to get out.
hummed contently wondering how it would turn out. At least they could test out the new devices. She wanted the militia to bring back whatever this woman was trying to make.
tried to stay in her shelter, but she knew it wouldn't last up to too many more explosions like the first. She slowly came out of the shelter, staying as low to the ground as her body would allow.
stretched a bit, waiting for the small group she sent to come back. They pointed their guns at the woman just as she came out.
heard the clinking of the guns and whipped her head all around her, a frown covering her face now. She put her head down, having an overwhelming feeling of defeat and assumed it was over for her now.
yawned as the militia retrieved the woman and the device. She was curious what the device was really and had a chat with the militia that was with her in the meantime.
kept her head hung as she was brought back, feeling like a prisoner in what once used to be her sheltered area. She stayed silent, refusing to talk to anyone. Her hands were clenched into fists though, >
irritated at her own stupidity.
wanted to see what the device was composed of.
had created a device that was able to filter any kind of water into drinking water, and with a few changes it could become a breathing mask for any kind of airborne issue. She hadn't tried it underwater, >
so she wasn't fully aware if it was able to be used as a form of snorkel.
fiddled around with the parts at her table, seeing how useful the entire thing was. She shook her head in disproval. " Lack of radiation filteration and proper tubing. This is good as a torture machine."
narrowed her eyes at the ground and turned her head to the side, keeping to the silent treatment. She had spent a long and hard time searching for those materials, and had taken pride into what she had made.
fiddled some more shaking her head. " You'll end up killing someone without proper precautions."
chewed on her lip, not taking the criticism well. She thought she did a good job after all. She brought her hands together and started to pick at her nails, trying to take her focus off what the female spoke.
took it apart and reassembled it. " Instead of filtering so late, repeated filtration is better."
ignored her words still, going through the formulas and patterns in her head to see how she could still revive the device if she ever got it back.
put some pieces into a box that would require further examination before putting the rest neatly away in storage. " Toss her to the nearest trade post after you search her." She nodded to the female officer.
watched before her as her device was taken apart, feeling a bit heart broken about it. When she heard the female say the words 'search her' she whipped her head up, before looking to the female office. The >
moment the officer took a step towards her she lunged forward, slamming her palm straight under the officers nose, successfully breaking it before tripping out her knees and put her foot on her neck, >
threatening to step down and suffocate her. She hadn't put too much weight on her foot though, using this more so as a threat, for now.
kicked the Dutchwoman over and off her officer, firing her own gun she had right into her leg. " You're an idiot."
yelled out through gritted teeth from the surge of pain that ran through her body. She propped herself up on her elbows, glaring at the other female. She tried desperately to ignore the pain in her leg, but >
it was the current focus she had now.
stomped down on her as she had the other members of the group check on the injured officer. " Well, I was making sure you weren't a spy but judging from your reactions, you're_
_ pretty eager to throw your life away." She sighed, loading another bullet into her gun.
brought her hands to the others foot, digging her nails in to try and pull her off. "Like I said..." She tried hard to push her foot away, but her body seemed to give up on her. "There were people more >
deserving to live than others..." She didn't consider herself weak in physical strength, but her mental strength had been deteriorating since she had been left alone.
shrugs, clearly not bothered as she had padding there for protection from animals and bugs. " So why hurt another person who is far more deserving to live then? Aren't you just being a hypocrite?"
met her eyes finally, and even if she didn't have the strength to move the others foot right now she kept her hands on it. "Just because I don't see the point in living, doesn't mean I'll give it up freely."
scratched her head, " Nej but you're the one acting like a hostile. Plus I can't let you get away after hurting my own people. You do realize this is pretty much a death sentence you've thrown yourself into."
gripped the shoe tighter before giving a nod in recognition. She knew she had done this to herself, and couldn't think of a way to get out of it. "It's a reflex. I can't help it I know martial arts."
snorts, " So? I recall that there's a bit of discipline involved. We weren't going to hurt you if I was going to send one of my female officers to check you."
took as deep a breath as she could, trying to focus her breathing. "I don't like being touched. Not by anyone. It's an invasion of privacy." She believed in that strongly, and would occasionally break limbs >
or joints on people who tried to touch her when she didn't want it.
rubbed her own temples, " Well if you put it that way, would you prefer that I just kill you now so no one would ever touch you again?"
shifted her eyes from her to the gun, her nails digging into the shoe again even if it was pointless. She didn't know how to respond, but she honestly didn't want to die. She just wanted out of her, and back >
to her shelter where she could work on her inventions again.
sighed, " Well, I won't let you off that easily." She had a soldier cuff the woman from behind. " You're going to pay us back in double for the trouble you've caused."
kept her mouth silent, not wanting to push her luck. Her eyes on the other hand stayed focused on the woman. She didn't understand what she meant by paying them back, but she doubted she'd enjoy the task.
treated the female officer first, figuring they would have to return to First City at this rate. She treated the Dutchwoman after, taking out the bullet quickly and disinfecting it without another word.
muttered swears at her in Dutch as her leg twitched from being treated. Some because it hurt, but mostly because someone she didn't like was touching her. The moment the female took her hands off her leg from >
treating it she kicked her.
sat on the other as the Dutchwoman was still lying on her back. " You can't really kick me if you flop like a seal." She stated in the some tongue as the other while treating the wound.
bit her tongue as she glared daggers back at the female. In this situation she would buck her hips quickly, making the other lose balance so she could escape. Unfortunately for her, her leg was in no condition>
to use that kind of force, and even if that happened she wasn't positive she would be able to escape the militia that was around.
guessed the other was starting to get a hint at what kind of situation she was in. " What's your name?" She asked as she wrapped up the wound after.
cringed at the female touching her, being lucky enough that that action distracted her from the pain. She stayed quiet, not wanting to talk to her, or anyone for that matter.
hummed softy, " I'm Dorthe and that's probably all you need to know." She stated while she used a clean needle to inject anaesthesia into the Dutchwoman's arm to knock the other out.
froze the moment her eyes caught the sight of the needle. She struggled as much as her body would allow, trying desperately to avoid being injected by the needle. "N-no, r-really! No!" She had an expression >
of terror on her face as her eyes followed the needle the closer it got. She let out a deafening scream as she was injected, unable to react as the effects of the anesthesia took over and knocked her out.

had her brought back to one of the cell holdings that had minimal requirements to even sustain a person. She had to deal with some administrative things before returning to check on her.
slowly began to regain consciousness, her vision blurred as her eyes wondered around the dark cell. She was uncomfortable and felt vulnerable. Her injured leg felt numb, as did her arm at the point where she >

handed the other a wet towel to wipe their face with. " Velkommen." She stated as she watched the other wake up. She did cuff the other to the wall so there was no lunging and such.
began narrowing her eyes, but soon found it completely blurred her vision so she was quick to react and stop that. She refused to take the towel, not wanting to touch something that the female had touched.
went over and just wiped the other's face, not caring much. " If you want me to baby you, then that's fine. It's not like I'm the one embarrassing myself."
emitted a low growl and bit the woman's hand when it was close to her mouth, locking her jaw as she bit with force. She wasn't going to be babied, taken care of, or waited on.
pulled away so the other would just bite on the towel. " Cute."
spat it out and licked her lips, getting the feeling of the fibres out of her mouth. Her vision had returned finally, and she mustered up the best intimidating look she could.
wasn't phased or anything as she sighed. " You know you owe me right? I can put a muzzle on you for all I care but I was to treat you like a human unlike what the others want."
didn't break eye contact with her as she inched a step away from her, only able to scooch herself due to her condition. "Why are you treating me with 'special care'?" She didn't like that she got some other >
form of treatment compared to other prisoners.
snorts, " I treat all my prisoners fairly like human beings. You just think you're special when you only assume one sid of things."
growled lowly again before breaking the stare and looking at the floor. "Go away." She wasn't feeling well right now, and didn't want to show anymore weakness to the individual. "Leave me alone."
nods as she undid the cuffs for the other. " You can go ahead and try to kill me now but you'll be shot in the head before you get a chance." She nodded to the red dot that was focused on the other's head.

already in the motion of going to strangle her, but by the time the other finished she had leaned back to her stance before. "Leave." She spoke through gritted teeth, glaring at the ground once more. She was >

could tell as she was monitoring the other's vitals from a chip she put in her. The cell was designed well, meant to look and monitor the progress of captives.
would not have taken likely the fact that she had a chip in her, if she knew of it. Her head started to bow and the dizziness returned slowly but surely, making her put a hand on the wall to support herself.
left the other be as she cleaned up and went to deal with other things.
heard the clinking of the cell doors as she could only hear the other leave, her vision failing her again as she began to lean against the wall. She had hated how weak she felt, and expressed herself since >
being caught. She had tried to think of plans to escape, but her vision was just too cloudy to focus at this time.
knew the other would do that but left her be. She was nice but there was a limit to her own generosity.

put her thoughts in order. She didn't want to see the female for a long time.
did find it generous instead of killing her on the spot for hurting her own people.
ended up falling into a sleep/unconscious state, and stayed in that condition for a lengthy time. It seemed that the anesthesia stayed in her system, which made the sleep she hadn't acquired in the recent >
weeks finally catch up with her. It kept her heart pace calm, where if she were awake it would be frantic.
checked on her once in a while, just to stabilize the other's vitals. She did take care of her extensively when the other was passed out.
jerked awake when she decided to visit one of the times, quick to scoot away from her presence. The quick movement did make her head ache, and she was quickly reminded about the condition her leg was in.
had accelerated the healing rate with the amount of sleeping the other had done. All that was left was a bit of a scar at how fast it was and the technologies she was using.
felt a booming headache, and no matter how much she glared at the female it didn't change a thing. She did trace her hand down her leg to where her wound was, still feeling pain from it. Other than that she >

a bit at a loss of words.
wrote down a few things in her charts and went off again after without another word.
waited for the woman to leave the cell before looking at the cuffs around her wrists, trying to figure out how to get them off. She had done it before with some other kinds of cuffs, and many kinds of >

figured having the other tiring themselves out would made it a lot easier to deal with her later.
used the strength in her nails to start pinching and marking her skin. If she continued at this rate she would be able to break the skin and potentially become a hazard to herself.
poked at the other's forehead as she had came for a routine check up. " Hungry?"
startled right away as she hadn't heard the other approaching. It took her mind a moment to understand what was going on. "No." She replied before picking at her skin again, succeeding in cutting through her >
own skin.
put the tray of food aside as she took the other's hands to stop her. " You plan on getting diseased or something?" She started treating them after.
watched as the other took her hands, not pulling them away this time round. Naturally she would have pulled at them and yelled. She looked loosely at the other with an expressionless emotion.
didn't say much but ranted about disease and such while treating her.
felt the females words fall upon deaf ears, as she hadn't been able to focus on the words she was saying. All she knew was that she didn't want to be here, and wanted to be in her shelter again.
