AN: Ok so this has been running through my head for about 3 weeks and I've finally decided to write it. It's my first time attempting this kind of story so I apologize if it's horrible. Please let me know if it sucks or not and if I should continue. Also I dislike Finn greatly so you will see some Finn bashing. Please review and I hope you enjoy = )

Disclaimer: Don't own Glee, if I did it definitely wouldn't be centered around Finn = (

It was the end of the day on a Wednesday and I was in the choir room waiting for Glee club to start. I was sitting beside Finn, much to my displeasure, with Kurt on my right, Mercedes beside him and Artie beside her. Sam, Brittany, Santana, and Quinn were in the middle row, and Noah, Mike, and Tina were in the top row.

"I said no Sue!" I hear Mr. Shue shout exasperated as he walks into the choir room, Coach Sylvester on his heels. We all sit up and watch the argument with interest. In my opinion it's always fun to watch them go at eachother's throats. Coach always has some funny insults.

"Oh come now William, I know the chemical fumes wafting from your hair is affecting your senses, but that doesn't mean you have to shout," she taunts him with a smirk. He just rolls his eyes and glares at her. "Now, are you, or are you, going to let me use your club in one of my routines? Choose wisely William."

"Once again, no! I'm not going to let you use my kids Sue, it's n-"

He's interrupted by a scream. It's quiet until another and then another scream is heard. Everyone looks around confused as Mr. Shue and Coach run into the hallway to see what's wrong. They come back inside the room a few minutes later looking extremely pale and shaken. They've also managed to find Ms. Pillsbury and she looks as if she's fixing to have a panic and a heart attack.

"What's going on Mr. Shue?" I question quickly. I have a theory but I really hope it's wrong seeing as I don't have the proper supplies with me. He just stares wide eyed at me, speechless. "Coach?" I ask, when I figure out Shue can't speak.

"It can't be," is the only thing the coach is able to say, so I roll my eyes and stand up. Everyone looks at me questioningly and Finn tries to grab my hand as I begin to walk towards the door.

"Rach wait. What are you doing? It's not safe out there," Finn tells me, also standing and trying to grab me again. Well no shit Sherlock, I couldn't have guessed that all on my own, what with all the screaming and the shaken up teachers and what-not.

I roll my eyes as I dodge his grasp again and turn towards the room. "Noah? Britt?" When they looks at me and nod I grimace. "I think it's happening." They stare at me for a few seconds in shock before another scream knocks them back into reality.

"Seriously Jewbabe? Are you sure?" Noah asks me with a hint of excitement and fear in his voice. It's also reflected on his and Brittany's faces.

"I don't know, but I really think it-" My phone ringing interrupts what I'm saying and when I see it's Jake I quickly flip it open. "Jake? Sweetie are you, Kelly, and Sarah ok?"

"Rachel I'm scared. Mom's acting really weird so I locked me, Sarah, and Kelly in Puck's room. She keeps trying to bite us," he tells me in a frantic voice, and I know he's close to tears.

"Fuck!" I shout, causing everybody to jump and Noah and Britt to stand quickly, knowing I'm talking about their younger siblings. "Jake, she didn't bite you did she? Or Sarah, or Kelly?" I ask frantically, needing to know but not wanting to.

"No, she tried but I was able to push her away. We pushed Puck's dresser and bed infront of the door and she's trying to get in."

I'm relieved at hearing that no one was bitten but heartbroken to hear that Ruth turned, she basically was my mom. "Jay, I want you to do something for me ok? I want you to grab Noah's baseball bat out of his closet and use it to protect the girls if needed ok?" I'm trying to hold the tears back so I don't freak him out anymore, but a few slip out as I ask him the next question. "You know what she is now right?"

"Yeah, I do. I can't believe your dads were right," he tells me with a watery chuckle and I know he's crying now. "I'll protect 'em Rae, I swear," he promises me, his voice stronger.

"I believe you buddy. Now, do not, and I repeat do not leave Noah's room for anything. Do you hear me?"

"Yeah I hear you Rach, and I won't."

"Good. We'll be there as soon as we can ok? Just hold on and call us if anything happens. Remember, don't leave the room and keep quiet. I love you guys."

"I will, I won't, and we love you too." With that he hung up the phone and I looked up at Noah and Britt.

"They're fine for now, but Noah," I can't even finish because of the lump in my throat. They both understand though as Britt sinks back down into her chair and Noah swallows hard and nods. I take a few seconds to gather myself back up and turn back towards the occupants of the room, who are conveniently already staring at me.

"I know you guys aren't going to believe me at first, and it's fine, but if you want to survive you will listen to me and do as I say. Ok?" I tell them in a firm tone. At their nods of agreement I continue. "The dead are coming back. Most people call them zombies, but I don't like that term so we'll call 'em walkers, reepies, or clowns. Now," I walk over to a mic stand and hand it to Noah before handing a bass guitar to Brittany, "B and Noah, you guys stay here and watch over them-"

"Wait where are you going?" I'm interrupted, again, but this time by Quinn and she sounds worried.

"I, am going to go break into the schools equipment room and get us some bats," I tell them, and immediately they all start to protest, Finn and Quinn being the loudest.

"No way in hell are you going out there by yourself Berry," Quinn yells while glaring at me, her face turning red in anger.

"But Rachel you'll get hurt, why not let Puck do it since he's a guy," Finn asks. When he says this I glare at him but choose to ignore him.

"Hey!" Puck shouts over all of the unintelligible shouting. They immediately quiet down and turn towards him.

"Thank you Noah. Now as I was saying, I, meaning me and me alone, am going to the equipment closet, and I am going to grab bats to protect ourselves with. Now I'll be back," I tell them while walking towards to the door and pulling out my pocket knife. I see Quinn stand up and try to follow me. "Noah grab Quinn and keep her here please?" I ask him before she can get to far from her seat. He looks afraid of the glare she sends him but obeys anyway.

"Dammit Puckerman let me go," she growls at him, trying to break free. "How in the hell are you just going to let her go alone? I thought you guys were her friends!" she screams, now frantically trying to break free.

"Quinn stop!" Brittany orders. Quinn stops struggling and stares at Brittany, along with everyone besides Noah, Santana, and I, in shock because of her tone. "Now, the only reason Puck and I are letting Rae go alone is because she knows what she's doing. Ok? I really want to go with her, and I know Puck does to, but you guys need us more the she does. Ok?" Quinn frowns but nods, still kind of shocked with the tone Britt used with her, and I open the door and quietly slip out.

As soon as I shut the door I jump and roll to my left, just narrowly missing a walkers outstretched hands. I jump to my feet and slip behind it, plunging my knife into his skull. Before he even hits the ground I'm running to towards the closet. I encounter a few more walkers, but otherwise it's a pretty easy trip. I quickly pick the lock and slip inside. I scream as I turn on the light to see another walker inside with me. It lunges for me but I quickly dodge it and grab a bat from the rack.

"Come on you ugly bitch," I whisper under my breath as I wait for it to come at me again. Once it figures out where I am it lunges again and I swing as hard as I can. The walker drops like a sack of potatoes but being cautious I slam the bat into it's head one more time. I quickly dump some baseballs out of a duffel bag and fill it with bats. Once the bag's full to capacity I slip back out of the closet and make my way back to the choir room.

I'm almost to the choir room when I sense a presence behind me. I quickly spin around and come face to face with a zombified Figgins. I roundhouse him away from me and as soon as I land I bring up my bat and swing. I hear the crunch his head makes and I grimace before hitting him again. I never did like the dude, but I didn't want him dead.

I quickly slip into the choir room only to be tackled into a hug by three people. I'm not surprised to know it's Noah and Britt, but I am surprised to see that the third person is Quinn. I squeeze them back quickly, lingering longer on Quinn, before letting go and addressing the room.

"Ok guys, now we're going to the parking lot and getting into either my car or Kurt's," I tell them while handing Britt my keys. She gives me a questioning look but I hold up my finger, telling her that I'll tell her in a second. I hand a bat to coach, who's finally out of her shock, Mike, Sam, Britt, Noah, Santana, and Finn. "Ok, we're going to go out in a single file line. Those who don't have a bat need to get in between people who do. Tina will you push Artie please?" At her nod I continue to give instructions, "Noah's going to take the lead and I'm going to close the line. When we get to the lot Brittany's going to be driving my car and Santana, Quinn, Coach, Mike, and Tina you're going to be with her. Mr. Shue, Ms. Pillsbury, Finn, Mercedes, Sam, and Artie, you're going to go with Kurt."

"What about you and Puck?" Quinn questions wearily, already knowing she's not going to like my answer. I smile sadly at her. I really don't like making her upset but I can't help it.

"We're taking his truck to Shelby's to see if her and Beth are ok, then we're going by Noah's place to get Jake, Kelly, and Sarah." She nods in understanding. "Now is there anybody else that you guys would like us to go and get?"

"Can you go and check to see if my...If Stevie and Stacy are..." Sam tries to ask me.

"I will Sam, I promise. Anyone else?"

"My papi and my brother please," Santana asks in an abnormally quiet voice.

"I will," I tell her with a small smile.

"My mom," Quinn tells me with tears running silently down her beautiful face and my heartbreaks at seeing her cry.

I nod my head at her and gesture at the door. "Ok everyone line up," I order them. "Artie's behind Noah with Tina pushing him, Mike's behind Tina, Kurt's behind him with Sam behind Kurt, then you have Ms. Pillsbury behind Kurt, Coach behind her and Mr. Shue behind Coach, Finn you're behind Mr. Shue, with Mercedes behind Finn, Brittany's behind Mercedes with Santana behind her, and lastly Quinn's infront of me," I order them and watch as they all line up quickly.

We slowly creep out of the room and head towards the doors. I see movement out of the corner of my eye and jump to the left of Quinn. The walker lunges for me and I swing the bat, hearing the crunch and swinging again when it's down. I look behind me to see Quinn staring at me, pale-faced and wide eyed. I give her a small smile and grab her hand, pulling us back towards the group. Noah and Britt have to take down a few other walkers, but otherwise we make it outside without much difficulty.

We manage to make it to the cars, which were conveniently parked next to eachother, and get everybody loaded up unscathed.

"Britt you remember all of the codes right?" I ask her hurriedly, not liking the feeling of exposure standing in the parking lot's giving me.

"Yeah Rach I know them. Just be careful and get them home safely please," she tells me with tears in her eyes.

"I will B, I promise," I tell her. I then kiss her cheek and start to jog with Noah to his truck. We hop in and watch them pull away before he starts the truck and reaches under his seat, pulling out two colt gold cup handguns and passing me one. He also pulls out a box of magazines for them and places it between us.

"You ready bro?" he questions. I nod after taking a deep breath and he puts the truck in drive and heads towards Shelby's apartment.

When we pull into Shelby's apartment complex's lot I notice two things. The first is it's strangely calm, and the second is that I have a horrible feeling in my gut. I turn to Noah who's staring straight ahead and taking shallow breaths.

"You ready bro?" I repeat what he asked me earlier and it works when I see him crack a smile.

"Lets go get our girls," he tells me confidently as he opens his door. I put some clips into my pocket, tuck the pistol into the waistline of my jeans, grab my bat, and hop out after him.

We quickly make our way to Shelby's apartment, only running into four walkers on the way, and quietly open Shelby's door, not knowing what to expect.

So...please review to tell me whether it sucked or not please. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading! = )
