Darius stepped out from the shadows nearly making the young woman jump. He chuckled. [color=f7941d]"You new around here too?" [/color]He offered her his hand and he held it a moment longer than he needed to. [color=f7941d]"It's morning so some are up and others aren't."[/color] He locked the door back and motioned for her to follow him. He pulled his walkie out of his pocket. [color=f7941d]"Who's awake? We have a new girl up here." [/color]

A moment later Violet came up to Darius. [color=a187be]"Big D I owe you for letting Matty torture me last night with that dresser."[/color] He laughed deeply at her. [color=f7941d]"No Miss Violet I had to stay out of it. You guys were making me laugh too hard."[/color] She grinned and looked at the new girl. Offering her her hand Violet said. [color=a187be]"Hey, I'm Violet, this is Darius. What's your name? Are you alone?"[/color]

When the man stepped out from the shadows, Ashton couldn't help but jump, but quickly returned to a calm state, seeing that he meant well. She smiled a small smile, shaking his hand in return. Staying silent, she followed him quietly. Coming up on another woman, Ashton reached out to shake her hand as well. [color=92278f]"Uh, nice to meet you guys. I'm Ashton. Some call me Ash."[/color] She paused for a second. [color=92278f]"Yeah, just me and Zeus. What about you guys? Anymore of you here?" [/color]

Violet let the dog sniff her hand and it let her pet it. [color=a187be]"Yes there are several of us actually. Come on I'll show you around and we'll find you a room. I actually have a farm not too far from here but houses are not so safe with all the windows so I moved in with the group that invaded my house several weeks back. They are a good group of people, mostly." [/color]Violet walked her past the offices and down to the first main hallway. [color=a187be]"That is medical. Matt is our medic. He was in the marines, he is a great guy. He is like the older brother you love to have around except when he is driving you nuts. He and Sasha and his daughter Grace are in this room." She said pointing out the room next to it and then went on. Nikki and Kyle are in here. I'm in here."[/color] She stopped and looked at Ashton and asked her, 

[color=a187be]"Am I the only one who wonders if we can actually have a real future and survive this? Can we still get married and have kids and do most of the things we really want?"[/color]

At the response that the group she was haniging out with had raided her house previously, Ashton couldn't help but give a short laugh. Hearing that she had a farm not far away, she raised a brow in surprise. [color=92278f]"Really? I actually grew up on a farm down in Texas."[/color] She silently followed the other woman down the hall, peaking into the rooms as she named them off. Medical room. Ash made a mental note not to go in there. Medical rooms were makeshift hospitals, and hospitals were something that Ashton despised.

At Violets next question, Ashton had to think about it for a few seconds. [color=92278f]"Well... to be honest, I still have a bit of hope myself. Surviving is something that we've all apparently managed to do so far, so maybe there's a chance of us still doing so. Bringing kids into this hell though... that's a totally different subject." [/color]

Violet looked at the room they had stopped at and it was Enzo's. She grinned and moved on next door. [color=a187be]"This is Ingrid's...." [/color]Violet's expression hardened a little in shock at seeing Ethan's barely covered body tangled up with Ingrid's. She reached for the door and closed it fully. [color=a187be]"Apparently it's Ethan's room too now."[/color] She turned and looked at the room across the hall. [color=a187be]"This one is open. Feel free! We took all of the beds out of the house and moved them here. I know of a few houses we can get more beds at so make yourself comfy til the guys get up."[/color]

Nikki got up and darted across the hall to vomit. She looked horrible. Violet took off after her. Stopping outside the bathroom she looked at Ash. [color=a187be]"Nikki is pregnant. Strangely enough her husband Kyle hit his head yesterday and seems to have forgotten everything back to when he was like 16ish."[/color] Nikki came out and leaned against the wall.

[color=a187be]"Nik? You look like hell."[/color] Nikki smirked, [color=f49ac2]"Oh good, at least I feel like I look. Do we have any food? non acidic food?"[/color] Violet nodded and went into her room and grabbed a box of animal crackers. [color=a187be]"They aren't saltines but they are good."[/color]

[color=f49ac2]"Oh Violet I love you!"[/color] Nikki ripped into the box and started to munch on the crackers as if their bland flavor were the most delicious thing ever invented.

Peaking in the door of the other room herself, Ashton quickly pulled her head back out of the room. No need to continue onlooking in there, giving a small laugh once again at Violets reaction. [color=a187be]"Awesome,"[/color] she said, taking off her backpack and setting it inside the door against the wall. Seeing the other woman coming across the hall to vomit Ashton grimaced. Not a good way to wake up. Watching a listening to their conversation it occured to Ashton that Nikki must have been the reason that Violet had asked about her beliefs. 

She waved a little. [color=92278f]"Nice to meet you Nikki."[/color] And then to Violet: [color=92278f]"So how many of you are there in total, do you think? Are all of you guys here? In the school, I mean." [/color]

[color=a187be]"There are close to twenty or so I guess. We lost three yesterday but we gained two of you. Nikki? Did you know about Ethan and Ingrid?"[/color] Violet asked her and Nikki shook her head totally surprised. [color=f49ac2]"Nu uh, Really? Ethan and Ingrid? That's ....unexpected."[/color] Violet nodded but said, [color=a187be]"Well....not really. She said that Jon had been depressed since the injury at the school and they shared a bed but that he kept pushing her away." [/color]

Nikki was shovelling the crackers in by this time. She realized that she was resembling a starved person. [color=f49ac2]"Sorry, my baby has an aversion to food in general so it never lets me keep anything in my stomach."[/color]

Matt opened his door and Grace was standing there holding onto his pants' leg. The little blond haired toddler laughed as her daddy picked her up upside down and zerberked her belly. Violet lit up like a Christmas tree at the sight of the baby. Nikki grinned and said, [color=f49ac2]"There's my little niece...and my crazy, surfer, marine, practically a gq model brother."[/color] Nikki handed Grace a cookie.
