-Chapter 11-










"Kat's been so distant lately...." Razor said to himself while in one of his classes, "..... Ever since Mike died she has been suddenly is in some kind of secretive mood. What can it all mean...?" Suddenly the teacher's lesson became meaningless even more, causing him to start thinking of other stuff not pertaining to school. His thoughts were cut short as the intercom turned on, filled with the sounds of screams and gunshots. The announcers pain filled and terrified voice echoed through the speaker, "Teachers, students..." she started, "I advise that you all.... evacuate the school now! Your lives are... at.... stake...." The sound of the microphone and equipment was the last thing that can be heard before the intercom cuts off.

"What the fuck....?" he said aloud.

"It's probably just a false alarm, class." the teacher said, "Now..."

"That's bullshit!" he yelled out defiantly

"What did you say?"

"You heard what I said! Why the fuck would the office give out a false alarm that we should evacuate and say that our lives are at stake?!"

"It might be an unscheduled evacuation drill."

"Yeah, right!" he stood up, running to the door afterwards, "You can stay here all you like, I'm getting the hell out of this place!" he ran out the door.

The sound of electricity surging filled his ears; he looked at the fence, noticing blue sparks jumping out of the chain link fence. "What? They tell us to evacuate but make the fences electrified....." he kicked the ground, "Damnit!" he ran towards the other students running out of their own classrooms in fear, "I've gotta find Kat, Vash, and Sam!"

"It's starting..." Kat said as she overlooked the chaos emerging out of the students as they franticly tried to find a way out, ".... he is starting his decent into the first malformations." She took a gun from out of her jacket and waited for him.

Razor reached Vash's classroom, finding it completely empty. "Damn..." he cursed to himself, "Where the hell is he?"

"Razor?" he heard Vash's voice sound from behind him.

He turned around, seeing his friend behind him. "Vash, do you know where Kat is? Or Sam?"

"No," Vash responded, "I haven't, I was looking for you guys first."

"Okay, uh... you find Sam and I'll find Kat. Let's meet in the quad after we find them!"

"Do you really think that's a good idea?"

"Do what you must, I'm gonna go look for Kat!" he ran off in search of Kat.

"Wait! Don't...!" he chased after Razor.

At another part of the school grounds, Sam Ilgeob was trying to find a way out of the campus. He stopped and looked around, seeing people running left and right in a desperate attempt to flee; noticing the corpse of an on-campus security officer with a gun still in hand.

"Whatever killed this man was strong..." he said, kneeling down to pick up the firearm, "This might be able to protect me for a while." he grabbed the gun and continued to find a way out.

He ran through the basketball courts, gym, offices... but found that all the doors have been locked tightly. "What?" he said in shock, "What is this?" He struggled to open the doors again; "Damn!" he aimed the gun at the glass and fired, breaking the glass with the bullet. He holstered the weapon into his pocket and kicked at the weakened glass, breaking it open. He cleared away shards of glass that would be in the way and would only slow him down. He slipped through the door as soon as the shards were cleared. "I'm free!" he ran toward the flagpole, but heard a crumbling sound behind him.

He looked back, seeing nothing; when he turned his head forward a tall, slender, but muscular figure lands in front of him. "No! You can't be him!" he screamed at it. The figure moved closer to him, contracting and relaxing its claw on its right arm.
