The Journey Begins...

- It was 12:09 P.M. The school day was almost over, and things were pretty much the same. Except for the news. The news consisted of articles, updates and test results for a newly discovered virus. The news had all been saying the same thing...

It was controllable.

And people believed it, too. The schools had continued, shops were open, and restaurants were serving customers as usual. It seemed as though no-one cared.

Jade was sitting in the back of class, with Beck. Jake and Cat had taken some seats in the front of class, and they really didn't know anyone else in the room. Science had just started, and everyone was done laughing and talking at lunch, but still weren't ready to learn.

Yep, things were pretty much the same.

The class was focused on the drawing the teacher was creating on the chalkboard, when a scream was heard from outside of the room, shaking up the class.

"Did someone see a clown?" Cat shot up from her chair, asking anxiously.

"Hold on, class. I'm going to go see who's creating the distraction, I'll be right back." Mr. Robbins said as he walked out of the classroom.

"Do you think there's a clown?" Cat whispered to Jake nervously, gripping Mr. Purple against her chest.

"Cat, don't worry, if there is a clown, I'm sure he'll eat your eyes first so you don't have to see him." Jade informed Cat, spooking her.

"They eat eyes?" Cat asked, shaking.

"No, babe. Jade is just trying to scare you. There's no clowns." Jake assured his frightened girlfriend, pulling her into his chest.

Jade leaned backwards onto Beck's chest with a disgusted look on her face.

"You know babe, you don't always have to be so mean to other people." Beck implied, wrapping his arms around Jade's stomach.

"I know, but it's fun."

"Well, it's not nice." Cat faintly said in response to Jade's harsh comment.

"Well Cat, if you haven't noticed yet, I'm not exactly nice."

"I've noticed."

Just then, another scream was heard. This time closer.

Cat yelped as the rest of the class stood up, gasping and murmuring.

"Alright, what the hell is going on?" Jade asked rhetorically.

"Yeah, I'm checking it out." Jake informed the class, eager to follow him out.

"No, Jake! The clown might eat your eyes!" Cat frantically said, grabbing Jake's arm in an attempt to save him from the imaginary clown.

"Babe, there is no clown! Now, let go of me, I'll be right back."

"kk," Cat agreed sadly, "but I'm coming with you."

"Alright, that's fine."

The class, being led by Jake and Beck hurried out of the classroom, anxious to see about the screaming.

And there it was, in the middle of the hallway, just below the main stairs, was a bloody Sinjin, feasting upon the lifeless body of Mr. Robbins. Students around corners, and hiding behind open lockers watched in horror, as what appeared to be an insane Sinjin Van-Cleaf, continued to bite into the battered body of the former Science teacher.

"Hey, Van-Cleaf!" Jade shouted, moving past the crowd of scared teenagers, towards Sinjin, Beck following close behind.

"What the hell has gotten into, you crazy bastard? Get off of him!" Jade commanded the rabid boy, who was now stumbling towards the brave girl.

Jade looked down at the ripped-open corpse in fear. Then, looked back up at Sinjin an anger.

Jake remained in front of Cat, who was cowering in shock behind him.

Sinjin was getting closer to Jade, who, along with Beck, was backing towards the group of shocked high-schoolers.

"Sinjin! Get the fuck away from us!" Beck yelled at the approaching cannibal.

Sinjin was almost 4 feet from Beck and Jade now, and was still coming. Jade had pulled out a pair of yellow scissors she had on her at the time

"This is your last chance!" Jade warned the oblivious shell.

Sinjin jumped for Jade, throwing his arms towards her face, and as quick as lightning, Beck hooked the zombie. The force was strong enough to knock the carnivorous psychopath on to the floor.

But, Sinjin quickly rose to his feet; he was still attacking. As soon as he started towards the couple once again, Jade threw herself on to him, both bodies falling to the ground. Jade raised the scissors above her head, and with all of the force in her body, rammed the scissors through the animal's skull. Beck quickly pulled Jade off of the body as blood poured from it's skull.

A shriek was heard throughout the halls, each student staring in terror at the scene.

Cat was now crying into Jake's shoulder, who was standing still, frozen in shock.

Jade stared at the body, oblivious to any other sound but her heartbeat.

"Jade, hey! Jade, babe snap out of it!" Beck tugged on Jade's jacket.

"I killed him. I killed s-Sinjin." Jade stated nervously, still staring at the body.

"That wasn't Sinjin anymore. Babe, look at me!" Beck comforted Jade, turning her head towards his.

"Beck, I..."

"Jade, you didn't kill Sinjin, something else did!"

"Was that the virus they were talking about?" Jake asked, approaching the body, Cat hooked to his arm.

"I don't know, but..." Beck started, but was interrupted by the loud gasp of the students echoing through the room.

Mr. Robbins was getting up, intestines falling out, blood dripping from his abdomen. He looked like Sinjin; dazed and distracted. And he was headed for the 4 kids.

"No... Mr. Robbins." Jake stated in disbelief at the sight.

Jake looked down at the body of Sinjin, Mr. Robbins still approaching. He jumped towards the body, bent down and gripped the scissors' handle. Beck ran up from behind and put his boot down on Sinjin's jaw, allowing Jake to pull the blade from his rotten forehead. Jake looked back up at Mr. Robbins, who was now only a few feet away.

"I'll trip him, get his head from behind!" Beck shouted, running towards the teacher and kicking his left knee.

Jake ran up to a kneeling Mr. Robbins and plunged the blade through his scalp from behind, knocking the body onto the ground.

Teenagers were now puking, coughing and falling over of fever, one-by-one.

"C'mon, we have to leave now!" Jake said, getting up from the body and grabbing Cat's arm.

The group of kids were now racing through the halls, avoiding other infected students who were attacking the screaming children. It was horrifying; the sight, the smell, and the fact that they were surrounded by it.

When they finally reached the already broken down doors to the courtyard, they caught sight of Tori and Andre by the vehicle exit, looking around frantically. They sprinted towards the kids in a panic.

"Jake! Cat! All of you!" Tori greeted them, relieved.

"Wait, where's Trina? Wasn't she with you? Where is she?" Tori began questioning the panting group, frightened.

"We don't know, she went to the bathroom right before Sinjin..." Jade couldn't finish her sentence. The thought was still fresh in her mind.

"So, you don't know where she is?!"

"Look, Tori; I'm sure she made it out, and if she didn't..." Jake was cut off by a panicked Tori.

"She made it! I know it. God told me."

"Really, God? Is that who turned Sinjin into a flesh-eating psycho? Look, Tori, GOD isn't really being kind right now, so I wouldn't count on him telling YOU the truth." Jade scolded Tori, who was now getting angry.

"Look Jade, I am sick and tired of you bullying me, lying to me, and making fun of me! If you say one more thing, I swear to God I will tear your fucking jaw off!"

The girls were now nose to nose, eyes squinted, and about ready to fight to the death.

"Hey, hey! Stop! This is not the time! We still need to find Robbie and Trina." Beck attempted to put out the flame before it became a fire, stepping in-between the girls.

"Robbie was at Math, so maybe he's still there." Cat mumbled from behind Jake.

As Tori turned to respond to Cat, the honk of a car horn sounded behind them.

A red Malibu nearly ran them over as they jumped for the railing separating the parking lot from the entrance. As soon as the Malibu was out, it was rammed off of the road by a truck speeding by, which swerved off the road aswell.

"Oh my God!" Andre shouted at the incident they had just witnessed.

"Hey! Guys!" They heard shouting from behind, and turned to see Robbie and Trina running through the mob of screaming teenagers towards them.

"Trina!" Tori ran up to Trina and hugged her mercilessly.

"Thank God you're okay, Tori!" Trina said, embracing Tori.

"Robbie, how'd you guys get out?" Beck asked the rushing boy.

"Well, me and Trina were... um, well, I was coming out of the bathroom as Trina was at the same time, when we heard a scream coming from the Gym. When we got there, it was chaos, there were kids screaming and running. And other kids were, well, eating them!"

"We know, we encountered a lot of them."

Jake bumped in, "They're fucking zombies!"

"Zombies?" Cat shrieked, scared for her life.

"Look, we've got to get out of here, it ain't safe." Andre informed the group.

"I can't drive us, someone stole my Malibu." Trina confirmed.

"Yeah, they almost killed us with it." Jade updated Trina.

"My truck's still over there, and Beck, you still have your GTO parked in the entry-yard, right?" Jake asked Beck, commandingly.

"Yeah, I'll go get it."

"And Jade, your Impala's 4-door'd, correct?" Jake questioned Jade.

"Yeah, I'll bring it out."

"Alright, we'll pack anything we find in the backseat of Jade's car. Robbie, Tori, Trina, you ride with Beck. Andre, you'll take your car with us, the more the merrier, and Cat will ride with me. Everyone got their plans? Good."

As Jake finished giving his orders, Beck came up from the road and into the parking lot, parking his classic muscle car in front of the group. As he opened his door, Jade came back in her Impala, ready to go.

"Hey, let's get it in gear, where's Andre?" Jade shouted at the group in a hurry.

"He's getting his car to ride behind us, I'm gonna go and get my truck." Jake informed the impatient goth, running off to get his Raptor, Cat behind him.

As Jake ran towards his truck, to the right off him her heard growling. He looked over to see Lane running towards his truck.

"Lane! Get to my truck!" Jake shouted to Lane.

When Lane looked over at Jake, he tripped on the rotting corpse of a dead zombie. He slammed onto the ground face first, busting his chin open, and before he had time to get up, the zombie chasing him collapsed onto his body, chomping down on his neck.

Cat squealed and started running faster towards the truck.

When he rode up beside the group, he got the attention of everyone by honking his horn.

"Hey! Guys, alright. This is how it's gonna go. I'll lead us, Beck will be behind me because he's carrying the most people, Jade has the supplies, so she'll be behind him, and Andre will follow behind her. We're heading up to Tori's house, it's up in the hills and big. Ready? Honk your horns when you are."

Almost instantly, the horns were blown.

Jake lead the group out of the parking lot, and onto the road. The trip was gonna be short,

but the Journey was going to feel like eternity.

Does Jade even drive an Impala? It looks like one from the late 90s, but I really wish there would be more context as to what car she drives. And is an Entry-Way even real? Probably.

Oh, and just so you guys know, I don't believe in God, or any religion. I just capitalize it because it's respectful. Anyways...

Review an' shit!
