Its amazing what you can find in a classroom. Each person had a pair of scissors while Kylie carried the stick. Mrs. Fernandez found comfort in handling a fire extinguisher and it was held close to her breast.
"Where are we -" Jessica was interupted by Mr. Daylewood's hand rising up in a signal of silence. Then he turned to her and placed a finger over his lips vertically. Jessica whimpered and bit her bottom lip, clearly not liking the silencing or the situation one bit.
The silence and tension made all of them uncomfortable, but they managed to get to the stairs quietly and with no problem. Tuan fidgeted in anxiety as he took the first step down the stairs and was followed by Samual, Mr. Daylewood, Mrs. Fernandez, Kidd, and Tom. Tristan and Annie were in the last group to come down the stairs with VyVy, Lynne, Laura, Jessica, and Lilian.
"We have to keep quiet," Mr. Daylewood whispered as everyone did a quick look over the open halls. The students must have just started coming through the blue gates of the highschool, for there were bodies everywhere. A hacky sack, spotted in drying blood was lying next to a former student, who had gone to school with the idea of getting murdered by a bunch of zombies far from his mind.
A blush compact, open and reflecting the light from the sun, was just sitting patiently on the ground for her bottle blonde owner to correct her fake appearance. The blonde, who was sprawled out on the dirty concrete, would never use that compact again. A sick thought ran through Laura's mind as she passed the girl.
Probably not the best time to put on makeup, eh hon?
They walked slowly passed an older supervisor, their dead hand still grasped to their walkie-talkie, as the body rested in a pool of crimson liquid.
A nearby cellphone rang out its existance cleary as a -
Stumbling with clumsiness, a lone culprit came limping from an open classroom. Quickly it was recognized as the gentle and quiet algebra teacher, Mrs. Thomas. Her graying hair was in its usual position, pulled a top her head, and her glasses just hovered over the tip of her nose. "Mrs. Thomas" looked over at the sound of the cellphone and stupidly walked over to it, her attention focused on the vibrating phone.
The students and teachers just sat watching as the now crazied Mrs. Thomas picked the phone up and bit into it. When it had figured out it wasn't a piece of warm flesh that would satisfy its hungry lust, it dropped it to the floor and everyone could hear the crack it made when it hit the concrete. Jessica jumped lightly at the sound and turned her head away from it.
Mrs. Thomas let out a low moan. A moan that sent shivers up all of their spines and made their arms grow goosebumps. A moan that would most likely haunt the dreams of the innocent teens until they passed away, their families unable to comprehend why they screamed till their heart stopped. Now, it was a moan that came from behind them and when they turned around, a terror filled yell hung in their throats.
Only Tuan would recognize this thing coming up to them. Her hair, short and black, was cropped at her bloodied jaw. She was small and thin and one could easily place her as a freshman.
"Hao. . . Oh my god. . ." Tuan whimpered lightly as he took a step to this thing named Hao. She held up her arms and her fingers flexed as he came closer.
"You idiot! Get away from it!" Lynne called out and went to grab him back but Samual pulled her away.
"Now who is the idiot to try and stop him!" Samual growled and started walking off.
"What, do you WANT him to die, you dick?!" Lynne asked as she growled at the back of his head.
"We have to go. Now," Annie warned, her green eyes getting wide. Tuan ignored everyone, advancing on the girl he had woken up earlier. Hao, only thirteen, was his sister. Hao liked to watch movies on fluffy animals and listen to singers like Vanessa Hudgens and Cheyenne Kimball. She did her homework and never complained on anything except what type of shirt to wear. Now, she was tripping stupidly to someone who she only recognize as her next entrée! Not her brother.
A low moan escaped her throat and now Mrs. Thomas looked over curiously at the sound. Seeing the arrival of a new food group, she started drudging over excitedly.
"We have to go! NOW!" Annie repeated, this time her voice had a bit more worry in it. Tristan took Annie's hand and pulled Laura over closer to them incase they needed to make a quick get-a-way. He wasn't about to let anything take his friends, let alone some crazy zombie thing that was about to munch everyone up!
"I'm not waiting for this dumb guy to get ripped apart by his own dead sister. Screw that, man!" Kidd exclaimed and hopped onto her skateboard, riding off down the hall after giving it a good push.
"KIDD!" Lilian yelled and watched as Kidd disappeared behind a building.
"This isn't good," Jessica stated the obvious.
"Why haven't we moved?!" VyVy asked. "We should all be following after Kidd and getting into the locker rooms."
"I can't go. I . . . I must stay here with Hao," Tuan whispered.
"WHY?! Tuan! She is gone. Its not her anymore. Leave her alone!" Annie begged, clinging onto Tristan as if afraid of what might happen next.
"NO! You know what I said to Hao last time I saw her? I called her a whore. . . She is thirteen and I called her a whore!" Tuan's voice was a mixture of hurt and anger at what he had said. "And she replied back with an 'I will see you later' smile before running off to her friends. Her birthday was in a month. . ."
"Screw it, man. He isn't moving!" Samual announced and turned his walking to a full out run in the direction Kidd had gone. In the direction where their supposed safety and protection waited from the moans and grubby handed crazies.
"God, I am so sorry Hao. I love you. I am so sorry."
Hao and Mrs. Thomas were getting closer. Ever closer.
"Thats it. Lets go. Now," Mr. Daylewood demanded, realizing that Tuan was going to stay there until he died. Until he reanimated and tried to attack them.
Tuan had barely heard him as Hao grabbed him by the shoulders and sunk her teeth into his shaken body. An instant later, blood popped up turning her once white teeth to red. He started crying and gave Hao a hug while she dug into the flesh. Mr. Daylewood grabbed Mrs. Fernandez and pulled her away before she started to wail and attract anymore of those. The students quickly followed without looking back.
"I'm sorry, Hao. I'm so sorry."
The last thing that they saw before turning the corner was Mrs. Thomas indulging into Tuan as Hao ripped off another chunk of her brother's skin while he cried his apologies.
