Outside was more chaos than inside, news reporters everywhere, the police and fire fighters keeping them away from the scene. Civilians asking questions, wanting their loved ones, wanting answers on why the apartment has been quaratined. SWAT, CDC and the CIA outside, guarding the place. A woman at the front of the crowd has tears streaming down her face and she looked up at the apartment in shock.

"You have to let me inside! My daughter is in there!" she screamed at the officers, but no one replied.

Kerry lives in the apartment; she left her teenage daughter, Nicole, there while she went to go get groceries. "Please someone answer me! I live in the building, I need to get in!"

But again no one replied, she was just told to stand back. Kerry looked back up at the apartment again and at that moment, realised she had to save her daughter; she lurched forward at the nearest policeman and grabbed his handgun from his holster, aiming it at his head. "Let me through goddamnit, I need to find my daughter"

The policeman looked shocked, "Ma'am, lower the gun"

"I just want in the building..."

"I can't let you do that ma'am"

She just grunted and smacked him in the head with the gun, causing him to fall to the ground. Ducking under the guard, Kerry ran up to the apartment, her gun in her hand before a SWAT team member stood infront of her, a machine gun in his hand.

"Please, don't shoot me; I just want to find my daughter inside, please" Kerry begged

The SWAT man just nodded as he began to unlock the apartment main doors,

"Thank you," Kerry smiled, handing him the gun.

"Keep it," the man replied, "Your going to need it"

The doors opened as he rushed Kerry inside before slamming the doors and bolting them shut again. She held her gun tight as she proceeded forward, rushing up the stairs, going to apartment 103: the room she and Nicole lived in. Passing the corridor, she didn't even notice the man laid on the floor, a stream of blood around him. Reaching 103, Kerry burst through the door,

"Nicole? Nicole? Baby, are you here?" she shouted out

Going in the bathroom, the bedroom, the kitchen; Nicole wasn't in their room.

"Shit!" Kerry snapped

She rushed back out of the apartment, reaching the corridor again, not noticing that the man laid on the floor now stood upright, panting out as he spotted Kerry.

"NICOLE?" she shouted out once more

Behind her, the man began shuffling forwards, towards her. Hearing his feet scrape across the floor, Kerry turned around and gasped; seeing his face covered in cuts and blood, he looked dazed.

"Oh god, are you okay? Who did this?" Kerry panicked

"Get away from him!" a voice shouted

Kerry spun around, seeing a teenage girl stood there, Maya from room 167, an bloody axe in her hand. She didn't know what to think; Maya raised the axe and hit the man in the chest, the blade ripping through his flesh; Kerry began to scream as Maya kept hitting him, the man letting out the blood curling shriek, before a fatal blow to the head shut him up.

"Drop the fucking axe!" Kerry snapped at Maya

"What are you doing?" Maya asked

Kerry trembled, "You just killed him..."

"That's not a man; it's a fucking demon!"

"W-what?"

"How did you get in here?"

"I was allowed in, to find Nicole"

Maya just shook her head, "She will be one of them... You made a big mistake coming in here, they won't let you back out"

Kerry lowered her gun and looked at the man, noticing his blood-red eyes and the black veins running through his hands and arms. "Who are you here with?"

"Cassie and Jason, we're hiding out in the workshop" Maya told her

A shriek from the floors above made Kerry scared, as Maya just took her hand, both running down the stairs into the main hall; past the shutters; around the corner and into the first room; the apartment's workshop, where all the keys are made.

//

In the workshop was Cassie, the girl from room 112, and Jason, the boy from room 136. Maya put the axe on the table as she sat down, wiping the blood off of her; the trio looked at Kerry curiously.

"What?" Kerry asked

"Why would you come in here if you knew what was here?" Jason asked

"I didn't know what was in here; the police haven't released anything yet... I just wanted to find Nicole, have any of you seen her?"

Cassie nodded her head, "I seen her run down the fifth floor, right after my mom tried to kill me"

"Was she alone?" Kerry asked

"Yeah, but no one was chasing her, she might still be alive"

"Is anyone else alive?"

Maya shook her head, "Just us three so far... and now you"

A loud shriek caused all four of them to get up onto their feet. There was now several shrieks, getting closer and closer.

"You let them follow you?!" Jason snapped, "You stupid fucking idiots!"

"There was nothing behind us!" Kerry replied

The door they were in began to bang, as a group of bloody hands banged onto the glass window; the possessed shrieking, foaming at the mouths, hungry for the flesh of the humans.

"There going to get in here..." Cassie whimpered, holding her weapon, an axe also, very tight. Maya stood next to her, armed with her axe; Jason had a sharp butcher's knife; and Kerry her handgun.

The four stared at the door as it suddenly broke off it's hinges, the possessed ran in, a dozen of them, hordeing the group, Kerry began pulling the trigger, bullets shooting out the barrel and hitting their body parts, only slowing them down. Maya and Cassie lunged, using their axes to chop through as Jason jumped onto a workshop table and slashed the hands that grabbed him.

"Push through!" Kerry screamed

She barged through, as did Maya and Cassie, but Jason stood on the table; shouting at the possessed and cutting them, but a hand grabbed his ankle and yanked him, pulling him off the table as he fell into the arms of the possessed as they began to tear him apart with their teeth, gnawing his flesh as he screamed out. Running out of the room; around the corner; past the shutters and back into the main hall, Kerry, Cassie and Maya gasped as an overweight woman was eating a Chinese woman, holding a medical pack. They couldn't stop to help though; the possessed were right behind them, sprinting after them; the trio ran past the overweight woman who lunged for them; they made it to the stairs and began furiously running up them to see a woman looking over a banister, also holding a medical pack; they never got a chance to speak before a hand grabbed her and pulled her into a room.

"Please, let us in" Maya shouted, banging the door with her fists.

Kerry seen the infected sprinting up the stairs and began to scream to be let in to, as moments later, the door opened and the trio ran in the room, the door slammed shut as they turned around and faced the female medic, and four male medics with her.
