The Nellis uprising wasn't a surprise. Rumors had been traveling around the prison grounds for a long time that when the chance came, they would take it, no matter how slim it was. So when the trucks and bussed arrived, filled with posters of equality and rights, something that the prisoners never had, it was a given that that was the said chance to do something. 

I had been a given for almost everyone, aside from Daina, a young pale skinned female with dreads. She had found it hard to get any sleep what so ever, since she was placed in the Nellis desert prison only a few days before the uprising after her leg hair had turned into feathering and her feet started to form into talons. Scared and still in shock over the current reality that she was in, imprisoned in the burning hot desert, not sure exactly where she was, and away from anyone she knew. And worst of all, turned in to the government by her own friends, ratted out by someone she had believed was her friend. 

So when the uprising happened Daina was gripped in panic. Her first instinct was to hide, but when she saw an opening, past the rumbling monsters that were other Emergents, she took the chance and ran for it, following the crowd. She'd been terrified, but those who had been prepared to the uprising did their best in the middle of the chaotic escape to help her and those who were downed by the military, barking orders to eachother and people around them. Without a chance of hesitation she was helping to carry a young blond haired man who was completely out of it, together with an older gray haired man. They both struggled to keep up, but managed to get out and under cover till a second opening appeared. A couple of young Emergents, one with electrical abilities and the other one with what seemed to be super strength had managed to take hold of one of the buses and were now waving to them. 

Quickly they fled across the small open space from the wall to the truck, fire, bullets and sand raining around them, dragging the unconscious boy with them. When they reached the buss the Emergents there pulled them inside, however the elder man refused. He turned around to help more people on. 

After that everything seemed to go foggy for Daina. She was pushed back into the buss, told to duck down onto the floor, leaving the boy in the middle isle. It was her and many other Emergents filled the bus, and soon she felt the buss taking off, slamming into things on the way out from the prison grounds. When things calmed down and the people in the buss started to sit up, and organize themselves, Daina was still lying down, shivering in shock. It was first when the people around her started to talk that she started to calm down, but as she did she started to feel a sharp pain in her left upper arm, and as she glanced at is she noticed the crimson pouring out of a circle shaped small wound. Had she just been shot?

"Uh..." She started, as the pain escalated. "I'm.." She said and quickly a weather-bitten female stood in-front of her with a strip torn off her orange prison-suit. 
"This may hurt a bit, but you'll be fine. It's just a scratch." she said and then without asking wrapped the cloth around the wound and tightened it, causing Daina to feel a bit ill from the pain. Daina clung to the words for a while. She was going to be fine. She was out of Nellis hell scape, and she was surrounded by the people who had enabled the escape, none of which were willing to hand one other over. Even if she didn't know these people she started to feel as if she could trust them, and soon with the adrenaline out and the pain rising, she just fell asleep on the floor in between seats.

The sun had set, and as it did the warm bus now started to chill down. The Escapees were scattered out across the Nevada desert, some even further away from Nellis Prison than that. It was dark outside, and the road was the only thing in sight, shown only by the vehicles lights. Based of the lack of air-force or search parties the group assumed that an emergency signal to the outside world had never been triggered, or that the battle was still raging at Nellis. But the only way to truly stay safe was to hide for now. Pulling the buss off road and into the desert grounds, tucking it away in under nearby cliffs and shutting the lights off. They were now in complete disquise in the dark.

Daina woke up from the pain in her arm aching once more, and with a lightheaded feeling and a dry mouth she slowly stood up and walked over to the five people who were still awake after the days drama. They were sitting around the front where they didn't disturb the sleeping Emergants, and were discussing something deeply. 
Daina carefully navigated her way across the passed out bodies towards the group when she heard a voice from below, The boy that she helped rescue were asking where they were and who she was... What was she meant to reply? She looked at the others who had picked up his voice aswell, and they looked back happy to see two new people awake, and then nodded towards Daina making her uncomfortable.

"Uhm.. We are out.. I'm Daina." She answered and sat down beside the boy. The same woman who had helped her with her arm swiftly moved across to them, almost floating across the buss and then stopped. 

"I'm Cutter, Happy to see that you're awake boy. We are currently in the middle of the Nevada desert on a bus that we claimed in the chaos, all of us are escapees from the Nellis prison." She said then glanced at Daina. "How's your arm, honey?" 

Daina looked paler than normally, forcing a short smile on her lips to indicate that it wasn't too bad. "It's... Just a scratch, heh." She replied. Cutter laughed quietly. 
"That's my girl. What's your name?" Cutter nudged the boy on the shoulder, helping him to sit up if he wanted to.
