Hello everyone! Here's chapter 2. This chapter takes place at the school with Marissa on the first day of the infection. Sorry for taking so long and sorry for the errors if any.
Sun was high and bright the day the world ended. It's hard to believe how fast things went to hell. But just because the world ends doesn't mean life itself ends.
Marissa stood outside with the PE class holding a bow and arrow. Everyone knew her sister was tryout for the olympics next month. But they also knew that Marissa was going through some hard times recently. Her sister was hit by a car two weeks ago and has been in a coma since. Her sister Meagan was the pride of the school in recent months. She would be the first student from their school to be in the olympics. This made her very popular and Marissa was in her shadow. But this didn't bug her at all. The only thing that mattered to Marissa was her sister's happiness.
Marissa knots the arrow and fires at the target 50 yards away. It barely hits the edge of the Target "Your sister would have had a bulls eye right?" the teacher asks.
"Yeah she would of." Marissa smiles loading another arrow and firing another at the target. This one hits dead in the center. She blushes and rubs the back of her head "That was all luck haha!" she laughs.
The teacher smiles and leaves Marissa alone to her thoughts. The rest of the class was behind her shooting at the target ten yards in front of them. Marissa had a competition coming up next week so this was her training period. She was Ok with the bow better than the average person. It was a expected of her since she was co-captain of the archery club. Meagan was still the club captain even after the accident. They could take the position but would lose it as soon as Meagan came back.
"Alright class lets head inside for the indoor activities." The Teacher calls.
Marissa stays behind a little longer and fires a couple more arrows. She walks over to the target and looks at her work. The arrows were all over the place but on the target. "Wish you could've seen that sis." She mutters pulling out the arrows. Just then she heard a scream coming from the front gate. Marissa put the arrow back in the quiver and rushes to see what was going on. She rounded the corner just in time to see a pair of teeth rip through a teacher's neck. Spraying blood everywhere, it sounded like a garden hose going off into the air. "What the hell…" she mutters one hand over her mouth.
The school grounds keeper kicks the person off the teacher who was drowning in her own blood. But after a couple seconds the teacher stop moving. The ground keeper was busy trying to hold the crazy person down. He was snapping his jaw at the grounds keeper. But not two seconds later the teacher got back up and grabbed the grounds keeper. She pulls him back and sinks her teeth into the back of his neck. The other person joins her and they started ripping the grounds keeper a part.
Marissa couldn't believe what she was seeing. She had to leave the school now! The fence was just a hundred yards away and she could hop over it. But her friends were still in the school she had to tell them, she can't just leave them here. Marissa runs into the school still carrying her bow and arrows and still in her PE outfit.
As she continued down the hall three students run pass her in the other direction. "Marissa!" one of them calls. Marissa stops and turns around to see Rei Maymoto with two other guys. "Marissa something terrible is about to happen and we need to leave!" she says moving up to her.
"Some of the teachers were killed at the front gate just a minute ago." One of the boys said. Marissa knew that he was Takashi because he was Rei's Ex-boyfriend. Meagan didn't like him very much at all. Just because of the way he treated Rei when they were going out.
"I know I saw to." Marissa says.
"Come with us Marissa your sister would kill me if anything happen to you." Rei says holding out her hand.
"I'm sorry Rei…but I can't just leave my friends. Go I'll be fine! I have my sister shot…sort of." Marissa says putting a smile.
Rei gives her a hug "I hope your sisters ok. Good luck and be careful." She breaks away and runs down the hall.
Marissa finds the classroom her friends were in and bust into the room. "Everyone needs to leave the school now!" she yells.
"Miss Wane you are interrupting my class." The teacher says.
"Meagan what's wrong?" Her best friend Miki asks standing up.
"Why do you have that outside the PE class?" The teacher asked pointing at the bows in her left hand.
"Listen three people were murdered in front of the school we need to leave the school now!" Marissa yells.
Everyone knew who Marissa was. She was on the student council and the Representative of her class. She was also the sister of the Meagan Wane. Marissa was known for her kind heart and friendly nature. Now she was yelling at a teacher in the middle of class and was also cutting her own class to be there.
Miki walks up to her and nods "I believe you Marissa…We should get Kenji and Kasumi." She whispers.
They were about to the leave when the intercom came on:
"Students…there has been a…incident on the school grounds. So teachers keep your students…what the…"
Everyone could hear something falling over in the background. Sounds like a chair or something. The person on the intercom didn't turn of the mic.
"What the hell are you doing! Get away! Stop! Ahhhh! Stop!"
There was a scream of pain followed by the click of the intercom turned off. What happened next was predictable. Everyone started screaming and made a mad dash to the door. Marissa and Miki were almost thrown out of the way. This is what Marissa wanted to avoid but she was now caught in. The room was empty in a matter of seconds. The hall was filled with screams and yells.
"Well there goes my idea of a calm getaway." Marissa says counting how many arrows she had. These arrows were not deadly what so ever. The tips had a small point that were made for hitting targets not humans.
"What do we do now and what are we up against?" Miki asked.
"I don't know…This is going to sound crazy but…after the teacher was killed…she came back life and killed the grounds keeper. They started eating him…" Marissa says almost as if she saw it again before her eyes.
"My god…if that's true…we should go now! If it's anything like the movies this is going to get really bad." Miki both head for the door. The hall was still full of panicking students making a break for the front entrance.
"Follow me! We'll go out through the gym and out to the track!" Marissa says taking the lead. She had it all worked out in her head. They would take the way with the least amount of traffic. They both continue down the hall but were stopped by a group of infected students. Marissa loaded an arrow and aimed for the head. She fires and hits the first dead in the eye; it goes through pocking out the back. "Just like the movies right?" Marissa said loading another arrow. Meanwhile Miki had picked up a broom stick broken at the end. They both kill all five and move on. But something catches Marissa eye as they passed a class. There was still a person in there sleeping on her desk. But one of infected was slowly making its way towards her.
"No mom…I wasn't sleeping in class today." The girl mumbles in her sleep. The zombie slowly makes its way towards her. It trips on a desk which causes a loud crash.
"I'm sorry Miss Takano! I wasn't…what the hell? Where did everyone go?" she says looking another to an empty classroom.
Then Marissa ran in bow at the ready "Watch out at your feet!" she yells.
"What?" She looks down at her feet to see an infected with haft his face gone reaching for her leg. She screams and kicks in away. The girl stumbles back tripping over her chair.
Marissa rushes over and a step on the zombie's back and fires the arrow at the back of his head. The arrow pocks out the other end.
"What the hell is going on?" The girl asks freaking out.
Marissa pulls the arrow out "We don't know…but we need to go!" she says offering her hand.
The girl looks up at Marissa and her eyes widen. She stands up and Marissa finds herself in a bear hug. "Oh my god you're so cute!" the girl yells.
"Ahhh this isn't the time for this!" Marissa says helplessly.
"Hey! You two we need to get moving!" Miki yells
The girl lets go of Marissa "Ok let's go." She says.
They leave the classroom just before they overtook the classroom. "By the way…My name is Aya Yamamoto second year." Aya calls running behind them.
"Miki Ito and this is Meagan Wane first years." Miki says following behind Marissa.
"Wane…I heard about you. You're supposed to try out for the olympics right?" Aya asked.
Marissa thinks about her sister who was at the hospital in this mess. "No that's my sister." She says.
Aya stopped "Wait a second!" she calls causing the both of them to stop. "I need something to defend myself. Give me a sec." she says opening the door to the janitor's closet next to them.
A couple seconds go by and she comes out with a sledge hammer, hedge trimmers, and a kendo stick. "Ok I'm ready!" she says.
"Why was there a Kendo stick in the janitor's closet?" Miki asks.
Aya shrugs her shoulders "I don't know."
Marissa lead the way passing by groups of infected trying to grab at them. A group of them were busy eating a student still alive. Aya stops dead in her track and is frozen in fear. The fact that this was all real just hit her. Miki is then grabbed by the leg and pulled down "Marissa!" she screams.
Aya snaps out of it. She raises her kendo stick and swung down on the head of the infected student. But not before a pair of teeth bite off a chuck of Miki calf. She screams out in pain as blood starts to pour out her leg. Marissa takes her arm and puts it over her shoulders. Aya smash in the head twice to be sure it was dead. "Aya hurry!" Marissa calls opening the girl's locker room door.
Aya runs into the Locker room and Marissa close the door. She locks it and jams it with Miki's broom stick. She set Miki down on a chair and takes off her PE shirt and wraps Miki bleeding calf. After tying it she goes to her locker and grabs her under shirt.
Miki coughs up blood onto the floor "Crap…just like the movies." She mutters wiping the blood off her mouth.
Marissa comes back "Come on we haft to go. The door isn't going to hold them forever." She says reaching to pick up Miki.
Miki stops her "Marissa…you can't take me." She says leaning her head back.
Marissa noticed that something was different about Miki. Her skin was had a pale look to it and her nose was now starting to bleed. "No…No that only happens in the movie! You can't leave me like this! I can't do this alone!" Marissa says starting to cry.
Miki then threw up a lot of blood "Whatever the hell it is…I can feel it turning me…I'm losing my grip on reality…if it's too much to ask…I want to die a Human. I don't want to hurt anyone else…so if you could."
"I can't…I can't do that to you!" Marissa yells.
"I knew you wouldn't…" Miki says in her last dying breath.
Marissa is now screaming very loud. Aya moves up to her "Marissa…I know this is hard but we need to keep moving. She's going to turn soon…Come on." She says picking her up to her feet.
Aya decide to lead the way this time. They both hear a moan Marissa stops and turns around. Miki body was now standing up. She turn towards them eye a murky white. Marissa reaches for an arrow and knots it "Come on…" she mutters aiming for the head. Miki's body starts walking towards them slowly "You're not Miki anymore…"
Aya starts getting worried because Miki was getting very close. "JUST STOP IT!" Marissa yells releasing the arrow…
Meanwhile
"Ah crap first my tennis coaches now this!" The boy says unjamming his Tennis racket from a student head. Christian Anthony Ramirez backs away from a group of infected that just corned him. His Tennis racket was covered in blood. He backs into the wall and feels a door handle "Please don't be locked!" he says pulling on it. The door burst open and two girls fall out.
"What the hell!" Aya yells quickly standing up swing her Kendo stick wildly into the air.
Marissa stands up and knots an arrow tears still running down her eyes. Christian stands back up "Back into the Locker room!" he says.
"No those things broke through the door! We have no choice we must fight!" Marissa says raising her bow.
"But there's too many of them!" Aya says gripping her kendo stick tightly.
"Crap this day just keeps getting better and better!" Christian says going back to back with the girls as a group of infected close in on them.
