Author's Note:
I do not own High school of The Dead
"HOLY SHIT!"
My brother, Shizuka Bushi, and I ran with the riot. The fellow students around us rushing towards the exit at the end of the hall while the overcrowded populace started to shove each other aside to exit.
"Where should we go?" Shizuka asked, running beside me.
"I don't know, but whatever happens, we both STICK TOGETHER." I commanded.
"Look out!" Shizuka exclaimed.
Before I could turn my head and acknowledge what he was warning me about, I lose my footing over an obstacle and found the white tiled floor approaching closer to my face.
Chapter 1: Undead
I wake up to be greeted to my brother's eyes. Fortunately he wasn't dead. He stood up and started scanning the hallway, but I stayed down on the ground for a few moments more, the pain on my stomach was preventing me from getting up.
Once the pain was eased I got up and briefly hugged my brother for a few seconds. I released the embrace and I started scanning him for any injuries.
"Are you okay?" I worriedly asked.
"I'm fine." Shizu nodded. "And I'm pretty sure you're fine too."
We both look down the dark hallway, unsure of what to do. Suddenly I hatched an idea.
"I'll call 911." I suggested and took out my flip phone from my pocked and dialed 911. I put the phone to my ear, and heard the impossible thing I've ever heard.
I'm sorry, the number you've dialed cannot be traced. Please hang up and try again.
Shocked, I slowly closed the phone, and clenched my left hand.
"What happened?" Shizu asked.
"911," I paused, "won't pick up."
"…" Shizu looked away. The cold dead silence spread over us.
"Now what?" he asked.
I took a look out of the window from my left, and saw the most unrealistic thing.
"Holy shit…" I whispered. Shizuka did the same and looked out of the window. There were people eating dead corpses, or students, people killing other people. No, it can't be.
"Zombies." I concluded, "My god, I can't believe it."
"Well," Shizu broke the silence, "We need to do something. We need to escape."
"It'll be impossible to charge to the entrance head on. There are a lot of them down there waiting for us. And if we even go to the entrance, they'll be more of them. We need to settle down somewhere over here first. Get some weapons and supplies, maybe find some survivors while we're at it," I stopped to think what to say next.
"Where do you suggest we go?" I asked, curious to what Shizuka would say.
"Let's head to the gym. We're bound to find some sort of weapon to defend ourselves with." He suggested.
"Good idea," I complimented, "What about them?" I pointed to the zombies through the glass.
"We'll just have to either sneak, or run past them." Shizu answered.
I let out a deep sigh and looked up. "Let's try not to get bitten on the way."
"Right." He said, and then we both started taking off to the gym. "We better hurry. We don't want the unexpected rescue to leave without us."
The Gym
We were able to sneak past the zombies, but it wasn't a pleasant experience. We saw a female student get eaten by those freaks. And we saw the most messed up thing, two girls were trying to escape but one tripped and was about to get eaten. Her "Good friend" just kicked her and tried to escape without her, but failed to do so. I swear I'll never do that to my own brother.
Once we entered the gym, we were greeted by dead bodies and blood splatters everywhere. No zombies I hope. I winced at the horrible smell that was given off by the decomposing bodies and waved my hand in front of my face. I felt like I was about to vomit.
"Damn that stinks. Let's hurry to the supply closet." I said. We continued on, trying to ignore the smell of rotting bodes, and the sight of them. I decided to keep my head straight; it'll be bad to go crazy right now.
We came across a bloody aluminum baseball bat. Shizuka picked it up and handed it to me.
"I'll find something else. There's bound to be more weapons around here." He said. He headed to another closet as I followed behind, keeping my guard up.
The closet only had a golf club bag in the corner, but the rest of the room was overshadowed by the darkness. Shizuka ran in there to retrieve the golf club and I guarded the door. Thankfully, no zombies came our way. So I looked back into the closet, and saw Shizu picked up a 9-iron.
"Lucky day for me." he softly cheered. Suddenly, we heard the sound of slow footsteps. Shiz turns around to find a zombie right behind him.
"Zombie!" He yelled. I think he got this one from here. I quickly turned my back to watch the hallway to make sure any remaining zombies were coming near. I looked to my right and was greeted by a sight of a zombie. I ran to the zombie and bashed it in the head with the bat. When it fell to the ground, I smashed its head, and blood splattered against the wall and my student uniform.
"Ugh, sick." I said under my breath, wiping the blood off my face.
I walked back to the door that leaded to the closet and saw the sight of Shizuka bashing the zombies head while it was on the ground repeatedly with the 9-iron. I sighed in relief that he was alright. After he beat the zombie into a pulp, he ran out of the closet and shut the door.
"Let's head to the Library now, we could get some supplies there and some information. Maybe barricade the front door until the night passes." I suggested.
"This isn't a game!" He exclaimed, "We can't just stay here overnight. We have to escape! And to do that, we must head to the rooftop. There must be some helicopter flying by, they'll rescue us." I let the cold reply slide; he was pretty startled when he encountered the zombie.
"But if there is no rescue, we'll check the library after." He finished. "Is that okay?"
"Yes brother, it's alright." I responded.
"But we'll attract more by staying here. Let's just head to the rooftop so we don't stay here any longer." Said Shizu.
With that said, we both ran for the entrance and exited the Gym.
Schoolyard
Once we got out we ran to the nearest stairs we can find, beating nearby zombies down on the way.
"Damn, there were more than I excepted!" Shizu exclaimed as he knocked down a zombie.
Once we got on the stairs, many zombies started to follow us. I stopped and kicked one of them down the stairs, it crashing into another zombie while falling, then continued following Shizu up the stairs. Once we made it to the rooftop, there were recently killed zombie corpses. There was still blood oozing out of their heads.
"What the- Is there someone else here?" Shizu questioned.
"This is a big school, there's bound to be other survivors than us." I said.
"Right, well who's that?" he asked, pointing to a figure that was on the edge of the rooftop. "Is he a survivor?"
I squinted my eyes, and walk towards the figure. As I approach the figure, he turned back and pointed two handguns at me.
"Riida wait!" Shizu exclaimed, running to me.
"Riida?" the figured student said lowering his guns. The sun revealed his face.
"Yasumi Basha?" I responded. He had red spikey hair and green eyes.
"My god! I thought you two were dead!" He exclaimed, smiling.
"Luckily, we were able to survive." Shizuka responded. I looked to the right and saw military helicopters.
"Hey! Over here!" Shizuka jumped and waved his hands.
"Hey come back here! Come back!" I yelled.
"Don't bother, I tried doing the same, but they just flew past me, like I wasn't even there. Whatever they're doing, I bet it's not a search and rescue mission." Yasumi explained.
"Dammit!" I said. I looked out at the city, buildings were burning, zombies were roaming, and survivors are getting eaten. All three of us were staring down at the city, petrified and I wondered if mom and dad are alright. Dads a marine veteran and mom's a nurse so they could make a good team. Thank god mom called in sick from the hospital today just because she was lazy. I guess I'll call them later, when we get to a place in this school where we could settle down.
A loud, gurgling roar broke the silence. We turned around and saw many of zombies walking towards us. I guess the library wasn't an option anymore.
Yasumi reloaded both of his guns and pointed at them, I got to a batting stance, and Shinzuka did the same.
The zombies were coming from the left and right side, in the middle there was a door that would lead us to the hallways again. Damn we walked into a big, fucking circle.
"Follow my lead!"
