There's a good reason why that room in the hallway is called Virus Composition Room. Composition is what something it made out of, so that room was to research all the thingies in a virus.

On with the story!
Shadow pulled on the handle, the door swung open and creaked loudly on its hinges. The door stopped moving and abruptly fell to the floor, a cloud of dust awakened from underneath it. Amy covered her can of food and held her breath to avoid the dust, Shadow didn't pay much attention to the door and was staring down the stairway.
"Amy... Tell me this isn't what I think it is." Shadow waited until Amy walked up beside him. he pointed to the wall, large crimson streaks covered the walls and yellow what looked like pus were here and there along the walls.
"looks like blood..."Amy walked onto the first step and looked closer at it.
"...Recent too, about...One day old..." Amy turned to face shadow, both their expressions were of fear and curiosity, they both gazed into the depths of the stairs.
"We should get something to protect us from whatever's down there."
"I've got a spoon." Amy said and Shadow gave an odd look and grabbed a broken chair leg. Slowly, Amy led the way down the stairs, the blood and pus seemed to increase each step they took.
"Gah." Amy covered her nose with her hand and shortly after, the smell of rot and decay reached Shadow's nose but he ignored it. Shadow calmly followed Amy as they neared the bottom, as soon as he reached the last step Amy fell back onto him with a gasp of surprise and slight disgust. She got back up, not even turning to check if he was okay, so she didn't see that he was slightly blushing either. Shadow stood up and his gaze soon set upon what had shocked Amy.
In the centre of the medium sized room was...Something. From Shadows point of view it looked like a brown wrinkled boulder, about half the height of him. Amy stepped closer, the 'thing' had a thick lizard-like tail. She approached its side and
observed it for a while, it was some type of big lizard, this creature seemed very familiar. It had stubby arms and legs with sharp long claws protruding from its leather-like paws, its skin was all leathery with pus oozing out of it. Amy moved to the front of the creature and crouched to get a better look at it, its face reminded her slightly of a fish; it had small circular black eyes and its mouth reached from one side of its head to the other; sharp bloody and saliva covered teeth could barely be seen between its repulsive lips.
"...Bio-lizard..." Amy whispered and slowly placed her gloved hand on its soft and sticky head.
"What are you doing?" Shadow grabbed her wrist and held it away from the unmoving creature, Amy smiled softly.
"It's dead...
"If we got here a day earlier..." Amy sat down and stared at it. "We'd be dead by now." She finished and turned to face Shadow. Shadow didn't like how Amy's mood mellowed so quickly at the discovery of the creature, she seemed slightly sad too for some strange reason.
"Humans are stupid. They create something and then just lock it away to die..."
"But they had a reason for this thing, it's obviously carnivorous."
"Obviously carnivorous." Amy mimicked with slight agitation.
"That's what they made it for! And you know what? They probably would've done the same thing to you.!" Amy stood up with a huff and strode out quickly up the stairs. Shadow stared after her until she was gone and looked at the creature.
"...But they did..."
Dormitory
Amy felt like she needed to vent and the best way to do that would be to clean. She started on the beds with getting the dust off, next was the floor. She successfully found a broom and swept out the place like no tomorrow.
"I wonder if they've got paint around here, this place is so dull." Amy exited to investigate the other rooms, first would be the Experiment Lab, Amy really didn't want to check out the Virus Composition Room.
The Experiment Lab was a mess, in a lab kind of way. Test tubes and other scientific objects covered the tables, there was also no skeletons in this room. A surveillance camera was perched high in the top right corner of the room and moved slowly
left and right. Amy spotted a door on the other side of the room with large black words clearly saying 'Surveillance'. Her curiosity got the best of her and she walked towards the door.

Locked.
"Screw this." Amy muttered and kicked the door, no luck... just a dent. She kicked it again and the door swung open with a loud clang.
"Wait a second... How are these doors locked?" Amy asked herself as she stepped into the room, the answer sat against a closet door... a dead body. This one was different to the others, its structure was that of an animal, dirty brown rags still clung to it. Its bones were brown and broken into many pieces and its skull just seemed to smile at Amy... Creepy. After standing around for a while, Amy noticed that the skeleton held a video tape in its lap. Gaining some courage, Amy took the tape from the skeleton. She sat down at a nearby television and camera viewers, after a bit of a search, she found a video player and pushed the tape in.
It started with a view of the cafeteria. Suddenly, people could be heard screaming and something could be seen coming from the left corner of the camera. It was the bio-lizard... It dragged someone to the centre of the room and bit the persons throat with a sickening crunch. The person stopped moving, obviously dead. The lizard quickly scurried off and more screams echoed from the speakers.
Eventually, the lizard had dragged four bodies into the cafeteria. Amy covered her mouth and grimaced as the lizard on the video began eating the people, not leaving one scrap... Other than the bones of course. It had used its claws to shred the peoples clothes and flesh into easily digestible pieces. As soon as it was done though, something shot at it and it growled viciously and was shot yet again. The lizard backed away and quickly scurried into the basement... The animal that shot it started stacking chairs and tables against the now closed door, it was wearing a large white jacket and the camera view made it impossible to tell what animal it was.
"you have devoured my friends monster, it will take years for you to die... But I'll make sure you do." The animal sounded obviously male.
The story pieced itself together quickly in Amy's thoughts.
There was no virus, whoever this animal was, lied about it so no one would go near it. So the Bio lizard would die...
In one way.
It worked...
