She ran to a metal heap that moved, and lifted it away to a girl hugging her tom cat. She carefully dragged the girl to the water to clean off her wounds, and the cats jumped back to the sand, watching. The girl slowly opened her eyes and looked shocked to see Clover."Who are you?" She asked, but winced at her pain."That doesn't matter right now, we need to treat your wounds." Clover grabbed seaweed and rubbed the girls cuts.
"Is that even sanitary?" Clover nodded."Ocean seaweed is better for wounds than anything else." She took the girl back to the sand, where her cat curled into her arms."Whats your name?" Clover asked gently.
"Rachel," The girl said hesitantly."Well, not anymore. You need a new name?" The girl sat up quickly."What?" Clover smiled."You see, there is no way of this island, nor anyway to survive alone. You'll be joining my tribe. What should your new name be?" Rachel thought for a while."Well, I've always liked the name Amber."
Clover clapped her hands together."Sounds perfect!" Do I need to carry you or can you walk?" Amber stood up confidently." I think I can walk just fine." Clover smiled and led her into the jungle.
~On the other side of the island~
Haven plucked the shell off of a crab he had caught. He heard the rustling of sand and turned to see a girl running towards him. She collapsed on the sand, out of breath. Haven dropped the crab and ran to her."Are you okay?"
The girl moaned and looked up at him."Who are you?" Haven smiled."I'm Haven. I'm from the Tribe of the Moon." She looked at him funny."You don't look like the tribe type." Haven rolled his eyes."Trust, I've been here many years. So what happened to you?"
He leaned the girl against a palm tree."My name's Taylor. I was on an airplane to the Caribbean, but there was a horrible storm. The pilot was killed, but the autopilot took us close to the water. I managed to get onto a life-raft, and I floated all the way here without a scratch."
Haven nodded."Well, it seems you'll be joining our tribe." Taylor shrugged."Looks like nothing else to do." Haven smiled and lifted her off the ground."You're gonna need a new name you know." Taylor nodded and thought.
"Deer are my favorite animals, especially the fawns." Haven looked in the direction of camp."We'll just go through there. Welcome to our tribe, Fawn."

Amber walked in the jungle with Clover. "So Clover, what s this tribe about?"
~Amber
Sharp walked beside Amber, watching for anything suspicious. Every so often he would nuzzle Amber's leg.
~Sharp
"Thanks Haven" Fawn said happily, half out of breath. She picked up Rosetta and carried her. Rosetta looked at the scenery.
~Fawn & Rosetta
Clover looked ovver slightly."Well, years ago a group of people crashed here. A few died because they attempted to live alone. The smart ones, after many failures of escaping, decided it was a good idea to make a tribe. They named it after the moon, since it was so beautiful at night. But..." Clover stopped suddenly."The whole tribe was wiped out, and Sky told me I was to lead it now." Tears gushed out of her shimmering brown eyes, remembering sweet Sky.
Haven nodded."Your welcome." He began to ran faster so that he could tell Clover.
Amber frowned. So many people died, and apparently Sky was important to Clover. "Who was Sky?" Amber asked, but slapped her hand over her mouth. She bet Clover that she didn't want to talk about Sky.
~Amber
Fawn nodded, and tried to run faster to catch up to Haven. He was a fast runner.
~Fawn
Clover looked at Amber with a weak smile."It's okay. Sky was one of the elders, and my best friend. She helped me adjust to tribe life. She was my mentor. Like a mother to me." Clover straightened up as they entered camp."Well, here it is. Me and Haven washed away the blood stains, so you don't have to worry." She observed Amber's nice clothes."And you'll need new robes."
Haven burst into camp."Hey Clover! I found someone to join us!" He paused as Clover looked up at him."That makes two of us." She pointed to another girl.
