Author's Note: Sorry if it took a while, I had grad and finals, plus I was a little lazy with all the game I bought recently.

Chapter 2: It Spreads
"There is no explanation for this wave of killings. People scramble to escape the crowded street while others look like they're… eating each other".
The news had gotten quite interesting recently. My guess was that most of these reports must be false, but it's pretty interesting seeing what they'll say next. Aliens? Flying brains? Meh, I didn't care.
I was eating a piece of jello while sitting in the library of the school as usual, watching little news videos. One of my friends, Keegan, was sitting beside me and we were talking about anime. "I feel like shit" he said, coughing. It's true, he didn't look too well. He seemed to have a fever, his eyes were bloodshot,, saying that he was going to puke, and it seemed that he was drooling for some reason, "Let's get something to eat, I'm hungry". I nodded, then got up and walked over to the cafeteria.
I bought a simple can of juice while he bought four hotdogs, "Geez, you seem to be hungry" I said as he ate. "These don't taste the same… they seem to be… bland…" he said. I grabbed one hotdog and took a bit, "They seem pretty normal to me" I replied. Keegan ate two hotdogs easily, but said the third one tasted unsatisfying, he then bought more food and ate even more. How much was this kid able to put away?
After eating a ton of food, the obvious happened, he started to puke up all the food he ate, but some of his vomit looked red-ish. I was a little concerned but I pushed it out of my mind. "I think I'll visit the nurses office, but first to find a janitor to clean this mess…" Keegan said, stumbling towards the door. I stared at the puke on the table. It had bits of food in it along with what could be blood, and some kinds of black substance or ooze, it's be smart not to touch it, and it smelled like decay.
I quickly walked away and headed left the building for my walk home. Aqua walked beside me, "Are we going to get something to drink or something? You didn't give me a chance to get anything in the cafeteria" she said, jumping on my shoulder and dug in my backpack. "I don't have any food in my bag, Aqua" I said, grabbing her and placing her on the ground. She sighed, then said "Can you put my back in the ball? I'm too tired to walk". I nodded and pulled out her Pokeball and she was taken into a white light, and disappeared into the ball.
On my walk home, I came across something quite odd. A person stumbled by me, he was probably drunk. He didn't smell like alcohol, but more like something that was dead. He grabbed me by the sleeve of my sweater and looked like he was trying to bite me. I pushed him away and he fell back into a pile of trash, then looked back up at me. He bared his teeth and seemed to make a sound like a growl. I quickly walked away before I would have had to do anything violent.
When I finally got home, it was quite different. The windows were boarded up and the door took some force to get open since there was a couch behind the door after I unlocked it. My parents were out on a business trip, so it was just me and my sister, Laura, who was only eleven, home by ourselves. "G-Go away" I heard a frightened stutter come from the living room. Laura was hiding behind a flipped table with a supply of kitchen knives and a few rocks from the garden. I put my hand in front of me, "WOAH WOAH WOAH! It's just me" I said quickly. Laura ran up to me and hugged me, "Thank god you're safe. There was a riot earlier and a bunch of bad people tried to get in the house and I had to close everything". I did notice that there were scratches on the sides of the house and there was a broken window.
I looked at the window in the living room and there was a dead body with a knife in her head. "S-She broke in and tried to kill me, so I had to kill her" he said, crying. There was a red spot on her arm, and she lifted up a part of her shirt. "She bit me" he whined. I looked at the clock, "Almost midnight. Listen, cover all the entrances and windows with the couches and tables, then get some peroxide on that bite" I said. She nodded and stared to push furniture around. "If you need me, I'll be upstairs sleeping".
I walked up to my room and laid on my bed. It was quite comfy, but my feet were a little sore some the walk home. Slowly, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
