Chapter 2
As Oz's group went through the wood they turned and saw that Oz was gone and Will said as he spun around in the mass of trees and brambles
"Oz, ouch, Oz"
"RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR" Oz echoed out as she jumped from a tree scaring the living heck out of the other three and the doctor snapped after he had got his normal heart rate back
"You have guaranteed yourself a extra ton of homework"
"Shit" Oz cussed as she walked down the path
As she walked out back to the road she looked up and saw the facility and Lita said as she pointed up
"Look, it might have fuel"
The facility was a massive building, with a old rusted car near the rough behind the building. It was almost like a haunted house in the moon light and the dark gray's didn't make it look any better. Long cement pillars were holding it up, along with long cement pieces that came out of the front like lion claws for a type of art look. It was set on a small field, with a jagged cliff down to the beach and sea fifty foot in front of it. This was also joined to a large hill that was very steep and had been the sight of the sacrifice all those years ago. Another higher hill was by it, but wasn't as steep and had tree's and bushes going up it. Lita looked down and turned hearing
"Yeah, it is about half a mile and it can run the last few feet on fumes if it has to" the Doctor smiled and said as he went to move out but Oz said grabbing him by the arm
"Don't move"
The Doctor froze on the spot and Oz looked at some sort of mist that was flying out from under his feet, but it flew through the sky and into the ground of the cemetery. Will walked on to the road and more of the mist flew out from his steps as it did from Lita's and Oz's as they too walked out onto the road. Will and Oz went further up toward the facility while Lita and the Doctor went back to get the coach, but the mist was still coming out of the ground and going into the cemetery. Oz pushed open the door and flipped a light switch that was old and fell off in her hand and she said juggling it
"Oh bugger"
The lights had in fact come on but one had exploded and Will had ducked to stop his head being caught on fire, but Oz had by now dropped the switch and let it fall to the floor and she said as her and Will walked through
"Creepy ain't it"
"Kinda" Will said and Oz was smiling for some unknown reason apart from the fact she is slightly insane and she said
"Let's try the lockers"
Meanwhile, the Doctor and Lita got into the coach and spotted that the other teams were back already and McMahon asked seeing the pair
"Well"
"We found a building up the dirt road, fuel tanks are there" The Doctor said back to the woots and yeahs of the students and Worm Tongue asked with Audrey under his arm
"Can the coach make it"
"Yes, we can sleep at the old building and set off in the morning" The Doctor said back and McMahon asked looking behind Lita
"Where is that degenerate and her side kick?"
"Oz and Will are back at the building waiting for us"
"Fine, let's go before they knock it down and blame it on ghosts" Worm Tongue said back and they set off.
Oz gave the room another look, it lead off to other rooms, the doors were worn and very weak from wood worm. The rafters had a strange look as they came down and seemed to act like very thin tables, rusted hooks hanging out of the holes and seemed to be the strongest thing in the room. Old lockers were to the far side of the room and some were open but hard to see into, dust and smashed bottles were everywhere. The science equipment was locked away or broken, the lights made the gleam of the bottle give a type of spooky glow. Will looked around but never saw the decayed hand that had moved away from the table in front of them and down into the darkness where no light could get and he said
"Can you smell that?"
"Yeah" Oz nodded and Will replied
"It's a sick smell, sort of rot"
"Wormy never had his bath" Oz laughed and Lita walked up to the facility and said breathing deeply like she had been running for a while
"McMahon wants you two out of here, till they check it out"
The sun still had an hour before it was due to rise and everyone was in the light of the facility , the facility had large lights outside of it and everyone was watching as the black mists came up from under them. It only came up when their feet hit the ground when they where walking and Lupin said
"What the heck is this stuff?"
"I don't know, maybe it is coal dust or something" McMahon said as the teacher bickered Lita and Oz were moon walking making loads come up and fly away and Elizabeth said
"This stuff is so weird"
"Yeah, everyone else is freaking out and we are rolling in it" Cindy said back and Audrey walked over with her snobbery, jumping every time the mists went up and when she finally got to the group she said flicking her hair
"Listen to me..."
"Hey a squirrel" Oz shouted and ran after it making everyone laugh and Audrey said as Oz darted behind her
"We are all going to catch some sleep in the facility and the driver is going to find some fuel, with the teachers"
"Ha ha ha, did you see that squirrel run" Oz laughed and Lita burst out with the rest of the group and Audrey snapped
"Well fine don't listen to me"
"You said what?" Oz said back and only then Audrey realized that everyone was watching Oz chase the squirrel and was not listening to her and she said
"I hope you all know what your doing"
"Why has the mist stopped?"
Once Elizabeth had said this everyone walked around and saw the mists had in fact stopped, the bulk of the mist that flew away went into the ground on the hill where the leader zombie was buried. As the people started to walk into the facility the ground moved, skeleton finger bones came out with green a ragged pieces of skin covered in dirt coming up.
In the facility, everyone was led in different places Oz had the best spot because she was up high and led on a low banister, it seemed to be where the people who worked there used to sit and Lita was on the desk next to her. Will was led out on the desk in front of the banister, Cindy was on three chairs that were welded together. Elizabeth was curled up on a old soft chair and Brenda was on the foot stools for the welded chairs. But Oz looked over and spotted Audrey was hugged into Worm Tongue, they seemed very happy but she suddenly realized they had taken other students coats to cover themselves.
Outside the bus driver was checking the coach and walked inside, but when he did a zombie walked to the coach, ripped out a part from it and started to walk forward to the facility. The sun started to rise over the sea and the zombie turned back toward the cemetery. The sun hit Oz in the face and she flapped her arms and slid from the banister and with a thud she slammed on the floor waking up Lita who said as she looked out the window
"The sun, we live to see her in her grace and glory but the cow is more like a mother"
"Why" Oz asked belly down on the floor and Lita replied looking at Oz
"Wakes you up to early"
Oz smiled and looked down to see her hand was cut, Lita looked at the window to see a zombie staring back at her. The zombie was missing his eyes but seemed to be able to see, it had it's decaying hands on the window and black drool staining it's chin. Then Lita looked once more, then she looked again and saw it was real and screamed as she flew from the side
"Monster"
Everyone was scared awake, Worm Tongue got up and said as he opened the window and looked out to see nothing
"There is no monster"
"As true as I stand here there was a...a zombie looking at me"
"Glug glug glug" Oz said as she made it look like she was drinking a bottle and people started to snicker and Lita said
"There was, it was green and rotten"
"Glug glug glug" Oz started again and Lita went to jump at Oz but she was dived bombed by Brenda who shouted as she held Lita
"Help"
"Come on Oz, right here right now" Lita shouted but Oz was now being held back by Lupin, the doctor and Will then Will shouted
"Stop it this ain't funny"
Audrey looked at the window as the rest of the group argued and as she looked out of it Worm Tongue was heard saying
"Listen this place has no zombie's, Lita it was just a figment of your imagination"
"No it was not" Lita snapped back and Oz said
"Humor her, yes Lita you saw the zombie called Rob"
But then Audrey was snatched from the window and never managed to make a single noise. Worm Tongue tensed up and snapped back at Oz
"Go into a corner and stay there"
"There is no need to talk to her like that" The Doctor said back as Lita finally calmed down and McMahon said loudly
"Shut up... everyone just calm down and met at the bus in ten minutes"
"Did it hurt" Oz asked McMahon and he said back turning to face her
"What?"
"When you smacked you head coming out of hell"
McMahon growled, but the Doctor was stood next to Oz and her group looking McMahon in the eye and so he turned and walked out. Later, everyone was still talking over Lita and Oz arguing, but when everyone was walking around Worm Tongue came running up to Oz and said getting ready to hit her
"What have you said to Audrey"
"Nothing, we ain't seen her since this morning"
"She has gone missing, I say you and your little group caused her to go off in a strop and not return my calls" Worm Tongue snapped and the Doctor walked over and said with no real concern for Worm Tongue's over reacting
"There is a student missing Wormy?"
"Yes, Audrey...not that you would care"
"Oz get some groups and set out to find her"
"You have her number" Oz slightly laughed and even Lita was watering at the eyes but the Doctor said back more forcefully
"Now"
Oz just twitched and walked away with the rest of the group in tow, the driver was suddenly heard cussing and swearing the heavens open and Remus said as he walked up to him
"What is it?"
"The breaks are buggered up, we can't go to far with out them blowing completely" the driver said back and everyone was upset and Remus snapped
"I cant believe this, a student is missing and now this"
"I know, I can sort the breaks" Cindy spoke up with a smile
"Hey dumb ass this is for professionals and not you" Lita said out and Elizabeth said
"Yeah"
"She didn't want you to agree" Will snapped and Elizabeth looked back with her evil face and Oz said stepping up
"The shut the hell up all of you, I have a bad head ache coming on...we will leave Cindy, Brenda and Liz to help with the coach the rest of you can help too, but split up into groups and find that useless lump by the name of Audrey"
The doctor and worm tongue were now not even looking at each other through a newly grown hate, McMahon walked next to them and said as the people went in their different directions
"She has authority"
"She will be the death of us all" Worm Tongue said back and the doctor looked at the men and said
"She can help us get out of here faster, let her have her way"
The men walked in their own directions and were out to try and find Audrey, Oz and her group jumped over rocks and grassy mounds to the beach where they meet up with Chris and Grace group and Lita asked Grace
"Any sign of her"
"No, we even check the stinky caves" Chris said back and Grace was annoyed because Audrey did cause unwanted trouble and Oz said
"Don't worry about it, she will show...Lita and Will go with them I am going to see how they are doing at the coach"
They split up and Oz went up a slippery and jagged rock toward the top of the cliff where the coach was parked, the others went to see if they could find anything at the very bottom of the beach. But as the group walked along Lita spotted something at the same time as Will, the other two walked on and Lita said pointing up the beach at a rock
"Did you see that?"
"Yeah" Will replied and Lita said as she started to walk forward
"Let's go and check it out"
They walked forward, then spotted foot prints in the sand and drag marks near them and the pair gave a slight gulp and hopped nothing had happened.
