Claire walked slowly with cautious towards the headless zombie on the floor. Jill was behind her. Claire gazed heavily at the creature's face as she observed it. Jill didn't really do anything but stayed next to Claire's side just in case the thing popped up again. She really didn't care to see the creature's face for it was already disturbing with its bloodstain and chunks of meat missing. She was only pissed and a little freaked out.
"Maybe…someone's playing a joke on us?" asked Jill.
Claire responded after a moment. "Nah…it couldn't be…It's real blood." Then she slowly touched the wrist of the zombie. "…and there's no pulse. This…thing is definitely dead."
"You don't think I killed it do you?!" Jill asked with a frighten sound in her voice, "Cause I do not want to go to jail!"
Claire looked at Jill. "No way! You saved me Jill. There's no way you'll get in the slammer."
Jill looked relieved at what Claire had said. Claire then smiled back then faded as she groaning sounds. It sounded like it was outside the locker room. The groaning voices sounded were like women and men.
"I think there's more of them!" Claire cried out.
"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" Jill yelled angrily.
Claire and Jill had to act fast because the zombies were slowly coming in. The first zombie was messy like the first one that the two girls both encountered. The only difference was that it was a man and the other you couldn't tell the gender at all.
Jill looked up the ceiling and saw the air conditioning vent and without thinking anything more, she cried out, "Up there!' and pointed to the vent.
Claire didn't hesitate. Anywhere then in there would satisfy her. Jill gave Claire a boast and up she went. Once Claire was up in the vent, she immediately helped Jill. The zombies were now only a few feet from Jill so Jill had to act fast and she grabbed onto Claire's hands. Took Claire a few seconds to get Jill up but it was just in the nick of time because one of the zombies' hands were a hair away from reaching Jill.
"Quick! Close the vent!" Claire yelled and Jill did as she was told. Then Jill turned to face Claire. "They're not going to jump up here so don't worry."
"Who knows, they might." Claire said.
Jill ignored what Claire said. "We need to find Chris and the others."
"Yes, good idea." Then the two crawled inside the vent. It was a little narrow but it fit them alright.

In the detention room…
"AH!" yelled Rebecca as one zombie grabbed on a hold of her. Chris quickly past Leon and reached Rebecca. He gave a hard kick to the zombie's head and Rebecca's leg was free. She quickly got inside. Chris shut the door after her and locked it. Then he heard a splat. He looked out the window of the janitor's door and saw that the zombie's head that he just kicked had landed on the floor and became pancake. The brain was oozing out slowly. Chris gave a disgusting face then turned back to Rebecca and Leon.
The expressions on Rebecca's face were grim and scare as she as sitting next to Leon. Leon looked scared too and was sweating heavily just like him.
"Is…is everyone okay?" Chris asked the two while choking on his need for air. They had been running for a distance to escape the zombies. It seems to them that almost every classroom they enter, there's always seem to be zombies here, there, and everywhere. They finally found one place that didn't have those rotting bastards and it was the janitor's closet. The one place that no one ever wants to go. For one reason is the smell of puke from students had always stained the air in there.
Chris tried to ignore the smell. Right now the only thing important for Chris and probably Leon and Rebecca was survival out of this school.
"I'm alright…I guess…" Leon answered.
"I'm okay…" Rebecca answered right after, "…but…what were those things?!"
"I…have no idea, nor care. All I want to do right now is to get out of this crazy school." Chris replied.
"We can get out if we get to the school doors." Leon said.
"Yeah that's what we're going to do…but how to avoid those mindless zombies?" Rebecca asked a second time.
Then a problem came to Chris's mind. "What about Jill and Claire? Or Carlos and Billy? They're all probably trapped in here too."
"We don't know that for sure…" Leon said.
"Well if they are in here, how are we going to search for them? It's an immense hazard to set off all around the school just to locate where they are. Hundreds of zombies might be around every angle." Rebecca said.
"Yeah…you're right." Chris said.
Then Rebecca had an idea. "Ah! I've got an initiative! How about we depart to the principal's office and verbalize into the microphone of his to call out for Jill, Claire, Billy, and Carlos. We'll inform them to congregate us in the principal's office and then we'll all get out together safetly."
"That's a good idea." Leon said.
"I agree." Chris said.
"We need stuff to protect us from those monsters first." Chris said. The two other agreed and the three began to search around the janitor's closet for anything that they can protect themselves from. Then suddenly a large crash was heard behind them. A major bang that lead Rebecca and everyone else in the closet to fall down. Then the door fell in ruins in front of them follow by a shrieking roar. Leon shielded his face from the debris but he could see the thing that had broken the door. It was a creature larger then any of the zombies. It didn't have any rotting skin at all. It looked like a reptile. With an instant, the creature attacked him but Leon hastily rolled over to another side. He got up but then the creature attacked again but this time, it aimed for his head. He ducked but the hit had cut some pieces off his hair.
In the distant Leon could hear Rebecca and Chris yelling for him to duck but he didn't pay much attention because at every second the creature strike. Leon ran for cover but then as he did something caught on to his shirt collar. He saw that it was a hock that the janitor uses to hang his coats.
"Shit!" He yelled.
The creature didn't stop attacking. It started to hit Leon in the neck and it was a major problem for him since he couldn't not move. Leon tried to get out but couldn't. The hock kept him there. He knew that it was the end for him and he closed his eyes as the creature's claw moved closer. But then something weird happened. Leon knew that the hit would hurt but how come it was taking so long. He opened his eyes slowly and saw the creature but it wasn't moving. He gazed closer and saw that there was a handle of a broom or a mop was pierce through its mouth. It fell sideways and an image of Chris appeared. Leon then knew that Chris was the one that had killed that creature with the broom or mop.
Leon took a breath and then said, "Thanks man."
"No problem." Chris said.
