Hi! So I'm gonna update again :D yay :D :D :) :) :)

"Look!" I awoke to to sound of people yelling to look out the window, and when I did I saw what looked like to be a base camp. The base was surrounded by a giant fence, and there was a ton of small buildings forming a circle around a bigger building.
"I think this is it." Brent pulled up to the front of the gates and honked his horn. A few moments later, one of the doors opened, and someone came out for a second before going back inside. "Well I guess we're not welcome here..."
"Why won't they let us in? We're human!" Just as we were about to leave, the door reopened, and I saw someone I thought I would have never seen again.
"MAXWELL!" Maxwell walked over to the gate and opened it enough for us to get in. Once we were in and parked, he knocked on the door and I almost tackled him to the ground. "I thought u would never see you again!"
"Same here! Now I see you brought company." He pointed towards the people in the RV.
"Yeah. Meet Brent, James and Shyla." They all waved. "Is there enough room for us to bunk here?"
Maxwell nodded. "Though food is limited."
"We have food." Shyla said. "It's most dehydrated things, but we have water."
"That's great. Follow me!" Maxwell closed the gate behind us, and led us around his camp. Each of the smaller buildings held a 2 bunk beds, a coupe lanterns, a bathroom, and a table. Not much, but it was going to last us.
Once we got unpacked, we headed towards the main building.(we all were able to fit into one room) The main building held the kitchen, the dinning room, and a rec room. There was a couple of other people sitting in the dining room,(it was just a a giant open room with tons of tables) and it looked like they were eating.
"You guys hungry?" Maxwell pointed towards the counter of the giant industrial kitchen. "We have soup." I realized that we haven't eaten anything decent in a while, and the soup did smell delicious.
"Yeah we'll have some." We each grabbed a bowl, then we all sat down in the dining area. Maxwell handed us some metal spoons, then he left the building.
"Welcome." I turned and saw that one of the men who was here earlier came and greeted me. "My name is Caleb."
"Hi Caleb I'm Winter."
Caleb took a seat next to me. "That's a nice name."
"Thanks..." This guy was starting to make me feel uncomfortable. I'm glad Brent noticed.
"Hey listen," Brent came over and put his hand on Caleb's shoulder. "You should really go. We've had a rough day, and I don't think she's in the mood to talk."
"What are you her father?" Caleb growled.
"Listen I was trying to be nice, but now you've made me rethink my decision. Now go."
"Watch your tone!" Caleb pulled a knife on Brent. "I will do it!"
"Put that away!" Brent had his gun pointing towards Caleb. "I've killed many things before, and you shouldn't be to hard."
Caleb spat at James and put his knife away. "You better watch yourself. Next time you may not have gun guy to save you." Caleb got up and walked out the building.
"What was his problem?" Shyla came over with her soup.
"I don't know." I was about to leave, but Maxwell came in with Rob and the gang.
"CLAIRE!" Rob came over and stopped when he saw everyone else. "Who are they?"
"I'm Brent." Brent walked over and shook Rob's hand. "And her name is Winter now."
"Winter?" Rob looked at me like he didn't even know me. "Why? I liked the name Claire..."
"To be honest I prefer Winter." Jessica came in. "It makes you sound, what's the word? Tough?"
I laughed a bit. "Thanks Jess. Where's Nelly?"
"He is out scavenging with these dudes name Jason and Jaden. They'll be back shortly."
"I still can't believe your winter now..." Rob just blankly stared at me.
"Dude what's the deal? It's just a name!" Brent seemed a little agitated. "And stop staring at her like that!"
That seemed to snap Rob back to reality, because he tackled Brent over a table and tried to fight him. Brent pushed Rob off and just stared at him.
"Bro there is something wrong with you." Brent wiped the dirt off of his jacket and shook his head. "C'mon James. Let's go unpack." James nodded, and they both started to leave.
"Wait!" They stopped and looked at me. "Let me come with you."
