Alysonn
We were told the infection had reached the walls. The military tried to keep it quiet but people found out quickly and began to panic. Evacuation was called and the rendezvous points were at all the high schools. When you check in they handed you a room assignment that you had to wait until your room was cleared and then they led you out to the trucks and drove you off to either the big KC-135s to the other safe zones or you were driven to the nearest safe zone. They took me straight from the labs to the school and handed me my room assignment. I knew the room, it was my old English room. This would be one of the last if not the last room to be evacuated.
I was ushered into the room and the door was shut and locked behind me. I knew all the faces in the room. Mr. Green, Maria, Hank, Lucas, and then myself. They didn't want to fill the classrooms up to make sure the containment held. A few hours had passed and when we heard the screams we knew all hope of killing the infection was lost. I jumped up on the air conditioning unit and looked out the now barred windows to see people running in all directions and the snipers on top of the school shooting anything that moved. All the trucks took off full of people or completely empty.
"They're leaving us." I said softly before turning away from the window.
"What? NO that can't just leave us. None of us are infected!" Hank yelled before he got up to look out the window.
"They will come back for us. They just need more reinforcements." I said trying to convince everyone including myself that is just what they were doing.
"Oh that's a load of bullshit, Aly. Let's face it we're as good as dead." Lucas spat.
"I c-can't die like th-this!" Maria cried. I walked over to her and put an arm around her trying to comfort her.
"Mr. Green is there anyway out of here? I mean you should know, this is your classroom!" I asked getting worried.
"They sealed everything up. I've looked." He replied.
"Shit." I muttered under my breath. I smoothed Maria's hair to try to calm her. She was always a worry-wart. She cried softly and the guys began to try to come up with a plan, all I knew is that we didn't have much time before the infected made their way here.

After our attempt at trying to contain the infection in Britain failed I was shipped back home where somebody from London had carried the infection overseas into the US. I was ordered to help with evacuation in the city Raleigh but that quickly failed and we were pushed back to Wichita. The military base was taking people down to Wichita Falls and other various military bases around the country. I was put on the Delta Rooftop Unit sniper. My job, the same as London, was to watch for the infected trying to break the barrier. When they broke through all hell broke loose. People began to run in all direction making it hard to determine if they were infected or just scared. I did the unthinkable and abandoned my post.
I knew there were still people inside, locked in rooms. I made my way inside and checked all the rooms.
"Anybody still in this room?" I called banging on each door as I went down the halls. Each door answered with silence. I turned a corner and yelled down the short hallway with only four rooms. I began to turn away when I heard people answer and bang on the door.
"Stand back I'm going to have to shoot the lock on the door." I told them and when I was sure they had cleared I pulled the trigger demolishing the strong padlock. I twisted the handle and opened the door expecting to see at least twelve to twenty people but only saw five.
"Is this all?" I asked.
"Yes. We are the only ones in here." A girl with dark brown hair and blue eyes stood up and stepped forward answering my question.
"Alright. Well I'm Sergeant Doyle follow me and do exactly as I say." I tell them and they all nod quickly getting up to follow him. Before leaving the room I turn around to face them again.
"Be my shadow and run low and fast." I tell them my eyes meeting the girl's. Again they all nod and then I turn around and begin down the hall. I signal for them to stop and I look around the corner for any other military personal or worse any infected. The hall is all cleared and I begin to move with them in tow closely behind. It doesn't take long before I realize that all the classrooms have been emptied of people being kept there. These people were left here to die. I become very angry at this and curse under my breath but it didn't go unnoticed.
"What?" she girl asked.
"Nothing." I reply.
"Bull. Why did you say fuck?" a boy with shaggy blonde hair spoke up.
"You all were left there. There is nobody left in the school." I say looking at them.
"What do you mean?" a small girl with red hair and green eyes speaks up.
"I mean-"
"He means that we were left there to die." The other girl speaks up. The rest of them look at me and I only nod my head to confirm it.
"Why would they just leave us?" The adult asks getting angry.
"I don't know. They may have just forgot you were in there." I say trying to confront them.
"I don't believe it. They left us there for a reason. I want to know why Doyle." The shaggy blonde said.
"It's Sergeant Doyle to you, and I don't have answers I can give to you, boy." I tell him.
" It's Lucas, and you better freaking find out before I take your gun and shoot you in the head and feed you to those motherfuckers." He says standing up before the blue eyed girl pushes him back making him stumble.
"What the hell, Aly. Whose side are you on?" he asks getting in her face.
"Obviously the side that is going to help us." She said taking a step back and Lucas took a step towards her and that's when I pushed him back and he fell.
"Stay out of her face or I will shoot you, so help me God." I threaten. His face showed that he was afraid. I turned around to see her looking at me.
"Are you okay, miss?" I ask her.
"I'm fine. And it's Alysonn but you can call me Aly, Sergeant Doyle." She says.
"Doyle." I tell her before turning back around.
"If we're done here let's get going."
