Group Two - Inside Cabin
The warm, orange glow was dim at first. It seeped through the smallest cracks between the boards that covered the windows, before streaming in through the larger ones. It snaked its way across the floor, before climbing to the couch, and then falling onto both Ivy and Chris' faces. As the minutes ticked by, the light reduced to a cooler, yellowy-white sort of glow, and Carrie blinked as she scanned the outside.
Not much had happened throughout the rest of the night, and for that, the veteran thanked whoever was listening. Sure, there had been the odd Clicker waltzing around, but as long as the group stayed quiet (which they all did, no questions asked), no harm came to them. There was nothing out there now (or at least nothing noticeable), so Carrie cleared her throat and spoke.
"Well... we made it." Her voice was a little scratchy, and her demeanor showed signs of weariness, but she shook it off. "Good morning, Vietnam," she sighed humorlessly, then paused. "...That was supposed to be a joke, not a comparison to my time in the military. Though, if you were wondering, that was hell too." God, was she always this chatty in the morning? Carrie wondered if that made her a morning person. She sure didn't feel like one.
