Chapter 2

The five could not believe what had happened to them. Only five hours ago, they had been flying on a plane out of the United States. Now, they had no idea if any of their twenty other classmates survived the crash. They were holding weapons, ready to fight off zombies that were tearing down their protection boards. "There's five windows. One for each of us." Jake observed. The zombies were coming slowly, roaring, their arms outstretched. Each person scrambled and stood by a window. Carly's face was completely pale. She stood at the window, fingers clenched tightly around her dagger. Reena grabbed the largest gun she could find on the wall. She smiled slightly. "This is kind of fun, isn't it?" She called to Brandon, who was standing at the window behind her. "Yeah, fun if you mean being vulnerable to death at every corner with undead beings chasing after us for the kill!" He called, angry. Sweat beads poured down his face. "You're nervous." Reena replied, leaning over to check if there were zombies coming towards here. "Well, of course! When I thought about my destiny, I imagined a good college and a well-planned life, not risking it all!" He cried. His hands clenched around his gun, a small "Brownie" shot gun. Jake was holding a dagger, eyes wide. His hand was also wrapped around a grenade. "Just it case." He muttered, swallowing hard. "I never thought Reena would be the most excited about this!" Jesse laughed. He had the long shotgun with an aiming viewfinder on it. He then turned, squinted, and fired at a zombie in the distance. "It's best not to let them get inside at all." He told his friends. Carly stood, rigid as a statue. "Carly!" Brandon yelled. A zombie, screaming, was tearing apart the window right before her eyes. Her eyes were wide and she was frozen with fear. Brandon ran over to her window and knifed the zombie right in the chest. It moaned and fell onto the dirty ground. He then grabbed the window boards and put them back in place. "You have to keep yourself together!" He snapped. "Right." Carly said, gasping. She breathed violently and loosened the grip on her knife. Jake was swinging his arm continuously at the zombies near him. Jesse was aiming and acting like a war professional. His zombies were dead before their cold, undead fingers even swiped across the windows. Reena, laughing often, stuck her gun out the window and shot the zombies with pleasure. Carly, having to force herself to inhale and exhale every time a zombie came close, stabbed quickly and jumped back when it was over. Brandon stood beside her, making sure she didn't freeze in fear. A board clattered to the floor. "Someone get that!" Jake yelled, stopping for a breath. "It's your window, Brandon!" Brandon was too busy leaning over Carly's shoulder. "BRANDON!" Jesse screamed as the zombie duo tore down the last board in Brandon's window and began to climb in. Brandon's head snapped up and he turned. With a screech, he ran and started firing his gun. The zombies fell to the floor, halfway between the window and floors. "Brandon, don't let that happen again." Jake warned as Brandon re-stacked the window's boards. "Yeah, this may end up becoming every man for himself. They'll start coming faster, Brandon, and we can't risk our lives anymore than we already have." Jesse replied, a serious look on his face.
