Chapter 2: Settle In.

Chapter 2:

Rebecca was still slightly scared but she was accepted, they trusted her and that made her happy. Maybe Carl didn't exactly like her but he didn't really mater.

The main room was huge, all the glass cabinets were smashed and removed out of the museum - some shards were still on the floor but people were picking them up. Hallways that lead to other parts of the museum were blocked off with shelves and there was stairs that lead to and upstairs area in which looked like it held a lot of office areas.

"Look Cookie, it's our new home." She looked down to her dog and kissed the top of his little head. He wagged his tail a little but a whimper came short after. He was hungry, he only whimpered when he was hungry. "Here boy." Rebecca pulled out a candy bar from the pocket of her jacket and ripped it open. She handed some to Cookie in his mouth and as he munched on his piece she ate hers.

"This is the main room. You're only allowed in here and upstairs. Upstairs are the offices, we use them for bedrooms. Since there is not enough rooms you will be bunking with Beth, a sweet girl who looks around your age. She's up in the room. The door has the words ' BETH ' written on it, you won't miss it. " Rick nodded. "Don't be afraid to say hi to the others, they don't bite." Are Ricks last words before he disappears over by another group.

Rebecca's eyes scanned the area, it looked welcoming and everyone looked nice enough to give her good vibes. She made her way upstairs and wandered down the long skinny hallway until she approached the door with the words 'BETH' written along it.

She knocked on the door a few times before the door opened and revealed -like Rick mentioned,- a girl that looked around her age. In her arms was a child that was sound asleep, her blonde hair was tied up loosely above her head.

"Hello..?" Beth said cautiously. She hadn't been informed there was a new member to the group and that she was rooming with her, so Beth was slightly confused at the time.

"Uh, hey. I'm Rebecca, you must be Beth." Rebecca smiled and stretched out her hand in which Beth grasped an shook politely.

"That's me." She smiled, rocking the little toddler in her arms. "Did you just join?"

Rebecca nodded and returned the smile, her eyes fell upon the toddler. "Your little girl is adorable."

"She is, but she's not mine."

"Oh?"

"Come in, I hope you don't mind sleeping on the same mattress as me, we were lucky this place even had some stored away." She said and welcome Rebecca in.

Rebecca shook her head and chuckled, "It's fine, really." She replied. Rick did mention that these rooms were offices, it explained the desks tucked away in the right hand corner and back wall. The mattress Beth was talking about was in the middle of the room, slightly closer to the left. It had a beautiful floral designed sheet draped neatly over it with a few pillows stacked upon each other.

"Well, I need to take this munchkin to her daddy. Feel free to put your stuff wherever you like." Beth whispered quietly, she didn't want to wake up the fragile sleeping toddler in her arms.

Rebecca nodded and out Beth was, leaving the door open.

Rebecca put Cookie on the ground and sighed, collapsing on the mattress. After she closed her eyes for a while she decided to empty out her backpack. When Rebecca and her family got attacked, she didn't have much time to pack, it was a rush to grab whatever was in eye site and escape within 30 seconds.

She pulled out four shirts, six underwear, two bras, two pairs of track suit and another pair of skinny jeans. She folded them and placed them on top of the desk.
