Ashley, Peter, Paige and Manny stowed away in Kwan's room. Desks were thrown across the dim-lit room, blood smeared the grimy walls. Something in here had changed into one of those… things, and it wasn't pleased. Manny's heart skipped several beats as the memory of Ms. H clawing into Jay's neck flashed through her mind. Peter nervously brushed his hands through his hair, Ashley hugged herself tightly and Paige froze in place, chills searing up and down her spine.

"I can't believe that just happened. Did that just happen?" Peter's voice trembled.

"Yes Peter it did, your mom just ate Jay." Ashley shouted.

"That wasn't my mom."

"Oh right it was just her evil twin." Ashley said.

"What is up with you being sarcastic?" Paige came.

"Me? Sarcastic? You of all people shouldn't even think about telling others how they act, Paige." Ashley shot back.

"Cool it!" Manny protested. "We're probably gonna die, this isn't the time to argue." The moans of the undead could be heard from the parking lot.

"Manny, what else can we do? We can't go out there, we can't call anyone." Peter said.

"We come up with a strategy to get out of here; you have the keys to the buses, now all we need to do is find a clear path outta here."

"And how do you propose we do that without getting killed?" Paige said, putting a hand on her hip.

"Well I haven't yet, but we need to think. Doesn't the basement have a window that leads outside?" Manny turned to Peter, who continued to brush his hands through his now messy hair.

"I, I think so." He muttered.

"Then we'll head down there." Manny ordered.

"A basement? Manny, more of those things could've gotten in the school through there." Ashley said, tears beginning to slip down her cheeks.

"Well we don't have any other choice. We can at least try." A sudden creaking noise came from Kwan's cupboard. The door slowly opened as Manny, Ashley, Paige and Peter glared at the movement. Clawed hands reached from the cupboard and soon a bloody, moldy Mrs. Kwan emerged from the closet; her glossy, black eyes immediately fell upon Manny.

"No, no, no, no." Peter began to pant. Paige and Ashley grabbed onto each other, squealing. Mrs. Kwan unleashed a stomach churning growl before charging full force at Manny. Instinct took over the brunette, she didn't know why, but for some reason she felt like she could fight back.

Manny roundhouse kicked Kwan in her moldy jaw, the zombie teacher toppled over. The girl found herself in an immediate fighting stance, ready to take on Kwan again. The zombie jumped up and began flailing her claw towards Manny; she dodged each attempt. Manny grabbed Kwan's right wrist and flipped her towards Ashley and Paige. Before the zombie made any move on the two girls, Manny grabbed the zombie's wrist again and slid her across the floor. Her brain dead skull collided with a wall.

"Peter! Shovel!" Manny shouted. Peter tossed her the shovel he gripped in his hands; she caught it perfectly. Manny ran to the unconscious zombie and diced the blade through its gut. The gross body went limb, Ashley and Paige calmed their screams and Peter looked less than confused.

"OH MY GOD! You just killed Mrs. Kwan!" Paige gasped.

"Well she was gonna kill me." Manny said, trying to catch her breath from the fight.

"How did you… when did you?" was all Peter could say. Manny hadn't realized she'd just kicked the crap out of her English Teacher. She dropped the shovel and stepped away from the dead body.

"Yeah, that pretty much sums up what I was thinking too" Ashley said.

"How did I do that? I've only taken like one karate class, and I was 10."

"Whatever, let's just get out of here before any more creepy crawlees decide to… creepy crawl." Paige and Ashley started out the door. Peter made is way to Manny, who was still a little confused at her sudden fighting skills.

"Manny come on, we've gotta go." Peter took her hand and the two ran out the room.
