Hurried footsteps awoke her that day, along with the sound of dripping water. It had lightly rained during the night, and now the excess water was slowly making its way down from the heights of the buildings to the deep depths below the city. She stretched out, glass bottles clinking together as she did, before she stood up, lifting the lid of the dumpster she had resided in for the night, and climbed out. She stretched again, before opening her mouth into a giant yawn. She was stiff from the cold, but at least the dumpster had kept her dry. turning swiftly on her heel, Cami left the small alleyway behind her, walking towards the awakening streets of the city. People hurried to their stops, awaiting the public transport system to take them to where they needed to go. They barely noticed the dirty child as she made her way with the crowd, following them as they headed towards the downtown shopping district.

It was only when the light danced over her eyelids did they snap open to reality, her family fading away into Dust. Her body ached of pain, causing the bear infected to remain lying down, staring at the ceiling. Just where in the world was she? The air was stale and dusty, Someplace old, or at the very least, Not well looked after. Barred up windows, Either to keep people in, Or others out.
