"Come on Lincoln." Lincoln turns around to see Lynn and the others clearly waiting on him. "You heard what Lori said."
"Right."
As they traveled the halls, the sight of cracked walls and dust filled air gave the school a horror like atmosphere to it. It was quiet, the only sounds were the footsteps of the family as they scavenged through everything to find supplies or anything they could use. The stress was mounting as the more they looked, knowing that the world they very knew and love was comming to and end. It was only a matter of time before something broke.
Young Lan was with Lola as they strolled past the lockers of the younger grades. She looked at all the drawings and artwork on the walls. She wasn't looking where she was going when Lana bumped into Lola and fell backwards. Lana took a long blink to observe her surroundings and recollected her red baseball cap. She then saw Lola staring at their friends' lockers. Lana was caught in by the sight of the memories of having fun with her friends during school.
Out of nowhere, Lana heard a sobbing. She looked in the direction of her crying twin sitting on her knees crying into her hands. Lana could only bend down and hug her. "Why us?" Lola whimpered. "Why did it have to be us? What did we do wrong?" Lana only remained quiet as she repeated the questions in her head. "I don't get it. I just wanted to live the good life. I can't do this."
"I'm sorry Lola, I know how it feels."
"This is too much for me to handle."
"Listen to me sis, we can get through this, we just need to stick together."
Lola sniffed as she said that. Lola then looked up at Lana's eyes. Lana's look of determination actually helped Lola gain back some confidence and she stood back up and wiped her eyes dry. Meanwhile Lincoln, Luna, Leni, Lynn, Lucy, and Luan were searching down the halls towards the 6th grade lockers. The building's atmosphere was unsettling to say the least. The usually brightly lit halls were now dim and dusty, light only emitting from the rays of the morning sun peaking through windows and some holes in the roof.
As they continued down the hall, a strange disgusting stench began to fill their nostrals. Everyone covered their noses to protect themselves from the stench, everyone but Lucy. With her soft but unerving voice, Lucy said to Lincoln, "I know that smell anywhere." Everyone's eyes opened wide at this. Lucy only gave back a blank stone like expression and started down the hallway towards the end.
The rest quickly darted after her. A light was seen at the end of the hallway, it was around the corner, it flickered like a fire. Lucy made it first, she stopped in her tracks and starred. She only let out only a couple words, "I knew it." As Lincoln turned the corner, his heart sank to his stomach. "S-Stella?" The boy let out.
Before him layed a grusome sight. The young Stella laid there motionless, not a sound from her, bullet holes riddled her corpse. Beneath her was a dried pool of her own blood, large enough to fill the entire janitor's closet. Blood stains splattered the walls inside. Within her hands was the metal stick of a broom. Nexk to her was a small gas lantern the was still lit.
The sight caused Lincoln to fall to his knees just as the rest came around the corner. Every one of them gasped. Lincoln looked into eyes of his friend's dead corpse on the ground. Her eyes still had a look of fear in her eyes. Lincoln's back got a tingly feeling as goosebumbs ran through them. Without much warning, Lincoln became very nauseous when finally stomach fluids came pouring out of his mouth. Leni gave out a blood hurling scream when she finally looked into the closet.
Lincoln seemed almost dazed now, it looked as if he was trying to regain his thoughts when he looked up at Luna. His faced had the look of 'why'.
