CHAPTER 1

Being the perpetually rainy town that was Forks, Washington, it was the best place to target as the horrific creatures wouldn't deteriorate as fast as they would in the south. The hollow thumping of decaying flesh hitting the wet asphalt could be slightly heard over the constant pouring rain. A few miles from the disgusting figures was a grouping of slate grey, concrete buildings. In front of largest one was a sign that read, Welcome to Forks High School, Home of the Spartans, the dark blue and golden yellow of the words faded by rain and wind of the small town.

It was a normal day for seniors, Bella Swan and Alice Brandon, who attended the school. It wasn't until their last period of the day, AP Biology, that things started to go downhill. During the afternoon announcements, the office clerk, Mrs. Cope, a portly woman with dyed red hair and next-to-no fashion sense, was interrupted by the office door opening and the ghostly screams of terrified students and teachers and the ghastly moans and groans of something not human. Mrs. Cope began to scream as she saw one of the monsters take down and rip the throat out of one the students and began to… eat the torn flesh. Another of the monsters heard her noises, turn towards her, and started ambling ungracefully towards with its arms out-stretched. Not being the most athletic of people, she tripped over feet trying to get away. This caused her death as the gross creature fell on top of her and rip her stomach open and began feasting on her intestines.

The students in Mr. Banner's class all heard the commotion as Mrs. Cope didn't turn off the intercom before her untimely death. Seeing as 's class was farthest away from the main building, which included the front office, he immediately crept towards the door to lock for the time being. Not knowing that as he turned the lock on the door, he just saved at least some of the lives in his class from some of the creatures that were coming down his hallway. The grotesque things heard the faint click of the door's lock engaging and swiftly redirected their course towards the sound. As Banner crept away from the door, something began to pound on it trying to get in. hearing the unmistakable groans of the things, he faced the scared class of kids and gestured for them to get underneath the black-topped lab desks and to stay quiet.

Crouching down and huddling together in one corner of the desk, Bella and Alice held each other. As the creatures outside the door stopped their pounding as they heard something else futher down the hall and started going there. As their sounds gradually got fainter and fainter, the kids popped up from behind their desks and one student in particular just had to put her two-cents in.

"Like OMG! What the H-E-double hockey sticks is going! Like I am way to pretty to like die!" said Tanya Denali, a bleached blonde idiot who's Daddy probably paid the school to put her the class, screeched.

"Shut the hell up, Tanya, Jesus Christ!" Bella snapped as she helped Alice to her feet.

"Why should I, Ugly Duckling. You're not the boss of me or anyone in here, well maybe except Freakshow over there. Who knows what you two get up to when you're not here." She said back with a flip of bleached-to-hell hair and a curl of her red lips. Her voice reached an octave that only dogs could hear. No one knew if that was her real voice if she put it on to make herself look stupider than she actually was. Either way it was horrendous. As the rain started to fall down harder outside of the building, more and more innocent lives were being taken, not just in the high school, but in other parts of the town and its surrounding areas.
