Prologue:

I had always been a huge fan of zombie movies. I even thought of myself as 'zombie ready', perfectly knowledgably in combating hordes of undead and surviving in a world where everyone was against me. I remember even staying up late at night with my brother talking about how we'd be great heroes and save the human race.

How stupid I was to want all this.

Of course when you picture yourself in the midst of a zombie apocalypse you think you'll be at home inside your 'fortress', safe, surrounded by loved ones and occasionally having to kill a zombie or two. Though when the world finally decided to go to hell I was in my own little place of hell, school.

The alarm sounded throughout the school causing the teachers to shush their classes, draw curtains and lock the doors. It was the alarm that meant that someone was inside the school grounds that they deemed unsafe. This isn't the first time the alarm has rung though last time it was just a stray dog running throughout the school not causing any harm.

As we all got under our desks and hid students starting joking about how the gunman was going to come in and kill them. I merely sat under mine reading, trying to block out the constant sound of the alarm, waiting for the 'unsafe person', or whatever, had been removed from the school grounds. I don't see how hiding under our desks will really stop anyone who seriously intended to harm us but I didn't make up the damn rules.

"Veh… Lovi I'm scared," Feliciano moved himself over to my desk huddling up next to me. I sighed and rolled my eyes and my younger twin, his eyes squeezed shut. He's the biggest cry baby, I swear. Always running to that damn potato bastard or me when something goes wrong. Though I never complained when he wanted my help. Secretly I enjoyed the feeling of being needed by him, being able to protect him as his big brother.

"Don't be such a baby Feliciano." I huffed. "It's probably just another animal wandering around." The thought of wild animals reminded me of something I saw on the news about a week ago that had caught my attention.

Rodents and some larger mammals have been acting oddly, attacking humans with no known provocation. There has been rat die-off in large quantities worldwide trying to 'contain' what ever is causing the usually docile animals to act malicious.

"There of course is no need to panic," the young news reporter had said.

Except for the handful of independent researches trying to study this, nobody cares. Just a brief mention on the news and a small article in the newspaper and that's it. The government, on a whole, seems to be ignoring the problem and sudden 'epidemic'. The researches say that due to the lack of money, labs and personnel a proper understanding of what is happening may be over a year away.

Too bad humanity didn't have a year.

Heck we didn't have any time. It was already too late.
