Sorry its been so long, my computer and I have had some disagreements.

HOTD high school of the dead

chapter three: Separation

They'd been driving for hours now, the twins were happy they'd decided to eat breakfast that morning, before all this mess started. The sun had set awhile ago and the sky was dark, all the street lights that hadn't been destroyed in the first panic were on, since they were on a timer, it'd probably be a few days before the power finally shut down and left everybody in the dark. Then what would happen? The already small population still alive would die very quickly. But we'll cross that bridge when we reach it. Miss Mirakawa had stopped the bus at a stop light; I guess old driving habits die hard eh?

Rei kicked open the door to the bus and jumped out on to the street, Takashi followed her.

"Screw it!" She shouted. "I cant take it anymore!"

"Well if your saying you cant take it then we're going to have to split." A teacher wearing a suit, that Searin and Lirin hadn't noticed before, said. Rei started walking away but Takashi grabbed her arm.

"We'll just deal with him until we reach the city. Its dangerous to just-" Rei cut him off.

"Didn't I tell you, you'd regret this!"

"Now is not the-"

Searin pointed to the widow,

"That bus."

"Dr. Marikawa!" Saeko shouted.

Everyone looked to the speeding bus as it came toward them. It hit a car and span on its side sliding toward them, Takashi pushed Rei out of the way and they tumbled in to a nearby tunnel as the bus slid to a stop not even five feet away from them. The bus caught fire as Takashi and Rei stepped back away from it. They pushed through the remnants of the glass windows of the burning bus, they readied their weapons but THEY collapsed, burnt. Saeko had gotten off the other bus with her wooden sword ready, the twins were right behind her, weapons ready. But there was no need as they fell.

"Are you two unharmed?" Saeko shouted over the bus fire.

"Yeah we're alright!" The answer came in unison.

"We can't get across." Takashi said. Then, "The police station. We'll meet at the East Police Station."

"At what time?" Saeko.

"7pm, if it doesn't work today, then we'll do it again tomorrow."

Saeko jumped back on to the bus, followed by Searin and Lirin, and closed the door.

"Dr. Marikawa." she said. "We are unable to advance."

"I'll turn back and find another way then." the blonde nurse answered starting to turn the bus around.

Well that about sums up the third episode. I'll have to skip parts of the fourth in order to do this right so the next chapter may be just a lil shorter than this one. Sorry if you don't like it, but that's how its going to be.
