She remembered her first human kills. The first ones don't leave you if you have any kind of humanity in you. Nikki's voice softened. [color=f49ac2]"Unfortunately our world has become much more dangerous. The walkers are up front about it. They want to eat you. The people....will lie, cheat, steal and kill you to get what they need or want to survive. There are a few of us teaching others here how to fight. Self defense is a must. Being that we are in a large solid building that locks and is safe under attack, it makes us a target and I'm not going to lie to you. We've had some attacks. A couple of bad ones from people that used to live here. We've taken loss of life and we've taken the lives of our enemies. We do everything we can to avoid it but death is more common than we would like in this new world."[/color] [color=f49ac2]"I can tell you one thing though. I would rather be in here with good people than out there wondering if I was going to get bit or shot first."[/color] She paused to give him a moment to let her words sink in. [color=f49ac2]"We've recently found out that I am pregnant. So I have been given a bodyguard which sounds silly I know but there is a long story behind it. I am also fluent in the martial arts and I would help you learn if you want to. This is Ingrid, she is my bodyguard. Basically she follows me around all day and tells me what not to do. She is single handedly the most dangerous Irish woman you'll ever meet."[/color] [color=8dc73f]"Aye,"[/color] Ingrid chuckled. [color=f49ac2]"This is her boyfriend Jon. Jon is in charge of the guards on the outside of the building. He handles their scheduling, meals, clothing, whatever they need. Supply runs are normally done by a few of us. I however, have been forbidden to do more than make weapons and baby clothes. Believe me, you do not want me to cook. We'd all die of starvation. Most of the women help out in the kitchen since our wonderful friend and cook was murdered."[/color] Nikki was trying not to cry. [color=f49ac2]"I hate the crying thing, that is one part of pregnancy I could do without."[/color] She sighed. [color=f49ac2]"Somewhere around here is my husband Kyle. He has taken over for me so he might be a tad bit cranky. My brother Matt and Kyle were both military. Matt is the resident doctor and one of our best fighters as well. He is the best big brother ever."[/color] Nikki kept having to wipe her eyes. [color=f49ac2]"I'll let Christian show you to your room. It will be room 27."[/color] Nikki frowned slightly and said, [color=f49ac2]"Please excuse me. I'm going to go lay down for a little while."[/color] Ingrid stood up and took Nikki's lead and they went back to Nikki's room and she lay down to rest. [@josephb][@demonic angel]
