Jon's men had already started to engage the walkers outside of the school. Things were looking brighter for the group. "[color=ed1c24]Nick, your in charge of walker defense. I need to go and speak to someone.[/color]"
Nick nodded as he fired on a walker that had just approached another guardsmen. "[color=2e3192]Do what you must Jon but make it quick. We could probably use some more men out here.[/color]"
Jon began to make his way inside, he had to know more about the woman he had confronted at Vincents trailer park. He decided to check the medical area as that is where most of her group had gone. He stepped into the room that Nikki, Kyle and Matt had been set up in. "[color=ed1c24]Hey Matt, you got a second?[/color]" 

"[color=00aeef]Sure, what is it Jon[/color]?" He said as he got up and came out to the hallway. "[color=00aeef]Is something wrong?[/color]" Suddenly it dawned on him that Jon might be looking for someone else and smiled. "[color=00aeef]Are you looking for your Irish gal?[/color]" Matt asked.

"[color=ed1c24]Yeah, have you seen her by anychance?[/color]" he said

Matt nodded towards the cafeteria. "[color=00aeef]She came by to look in on Nikki and then she headed that  way. She said something about being thirsty. I'd check there.[/color]"

"[color=ed1c24]Cheers mate. Listen tell Nikki i'll stop by later when she's ready for visitors. If she or Kyle needs anything come see me.[/color]" He said before starting to walk off towards the cafeteria. "[color=ed1c24]Oh shit, by the way Nick says that we could do with some more men outside clearing up the walkers. Could you maybe send some out?[/color]"

Matt nodded and grabbed his walkie off of his hip. "[color=00aeef]No problem[/color]" He was arranging more men as Jon left him.

Jon took his time trying to think about what he would say when he entered the cafeteria. As he entered he just stopped thinking when he saw her and opted for the first thing that came to his head. "[color=ed1c24]Ummm, Sup?[/color]"

Ingrid turned and saw Jon and smiled reflexively. "[color=39b54a]Hey, just drinking a cold soda. I haven't had one of these in two months. Seems pretty good around here over all. You've all been doing well all things considered.[/color]"

"[color=39b54a]You aren't hurt are you?[/color]" She said looking him over for wounds.

"[color=ed1c24]I'm fine, do you mind if i sit and ask you a few questions gorgeous?[/color] " He said motioning to the seat while winking... or what he thought was winking. To anyone else it would look as though he was having a stroke.

Ingrid looked at him and asked, "[color=39b54a]Is something wrong with your eye? Or did you hit your head? I ask because you seem a little off. Last I checked your eye wasn't supposed to look like that and I'm hardly gorgeous...although it's a nice compliment. Thank you.[/color]" She just looked so cute with her trying so hard not to laugh. "[color=39b54a]Ask me anything.[/color]"

"[color=ed1c24]What, no nothings wrong im fine.[/color]" he said taking a seat. "[color=ed1c24]So how long had you been with Vincent before a daring rescue by yours truly?[/color]"

Ingrid said "[color=39b54a]I became friendly with his sister about a month ago. She invited me to stay at their camp. I was never what you would call 'with' Vincent. We didn't get along.[/color]" 

"[color=ed1c24]Im sorry we couldnt take her with us. She seems like a lovely girl. Where had you stayed before Vincent?[/color]" He asked trying to sound sincere. 

Ingrid smirked, "[color=39b54a]Don't laugh but I was further north for a long time and I've been working my way down south for a while and when I could find secure shelter for the night I took it and when I couldn't I slept in trees. Up high enough that they couldn't reach me and most of the time they couldn't even see me. It's where my reddish glow comes from. We Irish don't tan well.[/color]" 

She looked at him and wondered. "[color=39b54a]Okay I've answered some questions for you. Now I want to know something. You mentioned getting revenge for someone close to you. Who was she?[/color]"

"[color=ed1c24]She was a good friend. Her name was Jenna and he ordered her to be killed. I dont know why but when i find him again im gonna tear him apart. She has been nothing but kind, she has killed no one. I swear by the old gods and the new that i will not rest until I or someone else has killed him.[/color]" Jon had gone red in the face. He never usually got this angry about anything.

"[color=39b54a]Ahh I see, she was your woman." Her smiled dimmed a little and she understood. He was hurting. "That is to be expected and it's a good reason for revenge.[/color]" 

"[color=ed1c24]She wasnt my woman, she was like a sister to me. We neved did anything i just looked after her you know, like you do with family?[/color]" He said even though he knew he was lying

"[color=39b54a]So why are you dressed like Jon Snow?[/color]"

"[color=ed1c24]i was at comic con before the outbreak[/color]" he said shyly 

Ingrid got a funny expression on her face. "[color=39b54a]Is that the place where you dress up like characters from books and movies and comics?[/color]" She was enjoying his sudden shyness.

"[color=ed1c24]Yeah. Yeah it is[/color]." he said hanging his head in shame, how could someone like ingrid like someone as nerdy as him.

"[color=39b54a]Don't hang your head love it's okay I love that stuff. I've been before and I went as Ygritte. Apparently I look enough like her that fans chased me.[/color]" She laughed and nodded. "[color=39b54a]I swear it.[/color]"

"[color=ed1c24]Really? Honestly, I wouldnt have even noticed that you look like her had you not mentioned it. If its any help, i think you'd make an adorable Ygritte.[/color]" he said cracking into a smile.

Ingrid suddenly didn't know what to do. She hadn't seen anyone even remotely her type, even in her age group that wasn't so messed up since Day 0. She stood up and seemed to be a little nervous. When he stood up she said, "[color=39b54a]Don't be upset with me for this.[/color]" She suddenly  kissed him.

Jon grabbed her and pulled her in closer and kissed her back. "[color=ed1c24]Id never be upset with anyone as beautiful as you.[/color]" 

Ingrid blushed and held him and let him hug her. She put her head against his chest for a moment and just enjoyed the human contact. 

"[color=39b54a]So you think I'm beautiful? I keep hearing you say that.[/color]" She blushed happily. 

"[color=ed1c24]I wouldnt say it if i didnt think it.[/color]" He said holding her tight, he promised himself he wouldnt let this one go. He had gained a bit of a track record with girls involved with him dying off like flies. "[color=ed1c24]As long as your with me, i promise nothing bad will ever happen to you again.[/color]"

"[color=39b54a]Are you saying you want me to stay with you?[/color]" She raised back and looked him in the eye. 

"[color=39b54a]You are...alright but.....you can't promise me that. Not in this world, no one can make that promise and I'm not so foolish as to believe that something out of your control couldn't happen. You'll not make that promise to me. I know you would want to believe it but ...life happens when your not looking...and for that matter so does death.[/color]" She reached up and kissed his lips lightly. "[color=39b54a]Okay love?[/color]"

"[color=ed1c24]Okay, how about this then. Ill promise to treat you right and do right by you.[/color]" He said putting his head on her shoulder. "[color=ed1c24]Does that sound good?[/color]"

"[color=39b54a]Aye that does.[/color]" She sounded relieved to her own ears. She had felt the connection with Jon the first time she ran him down. "[color=39b54a]Is there a place to clean up and maybe get some clothes and a place to lie down?[/color]" She asked him hope obvious in her voice. "[color=39b54a]At this point I'd settle for a freezing cold bath in a lake. I've already gotten used to that.[/color]"

She couldn't help it looking at him made her giddy. She was afraid he would start thinking she was nuts for smiling all the time.

"[color=ed1c24]I have shower in my room you can use, as for clothing Jenna's stuff is still in there, it should fit you.[/color]" He looked at her for a moment, her smile made him so happy. she had an amazing smile. "[color=ed1c24]I could take you up there if you'd like?[/color]"

Ingrid blushed a little and took his hand. "[color=39b54a]Let's go then Jon Snow.[/color]" She put her head against his shoulder and fluttered her eyelashes at him. "[color=39b54a]Take me home.[/color]" She heard him chuckle and he took her upstairs passing Matt who gave him a smile and a nod.

When they got upstairs and he closed the door and turned around she was already looking around. She looked at the shower and smiled. She actually got excited at the thought of hot water in a shower. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and went into the bathroom and closed the door. It was only a moment when he heard her yell "[color=39b54a]Thank God there is HOT WATER![/color]"  After a few minutes she peaked out of the bathroom and asked him, "[color=39b54a]Would you like to join me love?[/color]"

"[color=ed1c24]Sure, just give me a minute.[/color]" he said as he turned to look away from the shower. He looked up and whispered to himself "[color=ed1c24]Thank you god[/color]" and then turned around and entered the shower with Ingrid.
