Hiya Guys and Girls. I'm here again.
My computer time has been limited to half an hour by my mother. (She said that my last limit time was too long. It was 2 hours.)
So I'm trying to write the chapters on my phone on google docs. Then I can just copy it and paste it on here on my half an hour time. I'm also trying to make them slightly longer. To be honest my mind went into a blank as i wrote this one. But i got it done!
I haven't heard from Dusty for a day now. Last I heard she was still stuck between two. Anyways, She'll have her choice in between Sunday-Tuesday
So here you go with this chapter!
-4 Years in the Future-
Diana looked out toward the city with some binoculars. She could see some of the infected as they stumbled around. Turning to the book bag sitting next to her, she pulled out two books. One was a journal, the other was a textbook. It was about the history of classic theater. Taking one last look into the binoculars, she thought that it was time to start finding fences to put around the bunker area. Opening the textbook, she watched as a piece of folded paper fell out. Grabbing it before the wind could pick up, she pulled it to her and opened it. Written in cursive at the very top was " Journal entry 5". Pulling her journal forward, she quickly flipped until she got to the beginning of the 5th entry.
Dear Journal,
I don't know what happened to me today. I've been sick lately but it really affected me today. We were running through the streets. By we, I mean Dusty, Elliot and myself. I think it might be that I am pushing myself harder than I should. I just don't know. All I know was that my ankle twisted and I dropped like a brick to the ground. I had tried to get up, but the pain was horrible. To make it worst, I felt nauseous. I somewhat managed to drag myself to the closest wall. Thankful the undead were not paying attention to me. I couldn't see Dusty at the time. She managed to get somewhere safe with Elliot. I tried to get up using the wall, but the pain was too much for me. That's when I made my mistake. I screamed in pain. I never did this before. I don't know why i did it today. It attracted the undead around me. I tried to kill them all. But I was only able to kill few. There were still five more.
Then I was saved. By a tall, light brown haired glasses wearing boy. He looks my age, maybe a little older. But he saved me. I'm so grateful for his appearance. He must of heard my scream and thankfully he showed up before I became a fast food meal. He watched a bit at first. Probably very hesitant to help. In the end, he came through. Using a butcher knife, he killed four of them. I killed the last one.
I feel kind of bad though. He saved me and then had to pick me up since I could not stand up by myself. I'm surprised he could. Not that he is weak or anything, Its just that I'm not exactly the lightest person. Dusty appeared soon after and we all made our way to the little place she cleared out. The boy introduce himself as David Reiss. I owe him more than anything.
My ankle was fine though. I got a horrible bruise now. Thankfully I still had the first aid kit so I was able to wrap up my ankle. I should be fine by the morning.

Looking back to the piece of paper she noticed a message under the cursive writing. Reading it over, she smiled, rolled her eyes and quickly tucked it into her journal. Turning to the textbook, she started to read.
-Present time (Morning of Day 1)-
" As you all know, Industrial engineers find ways to eliminate wastefulness in production processes. Depending on their tasks, industrial engineers work both in offices and in the settings they are trying to improve. " The professor said as he droned on about the history of industrial engineers.
It was 8 am and the majority of the class was asleep. Sitting in the back was David Reiss quickly writing down the majority of the lesson in a notebook. As time passed by, the professor finally stopped talking and turned towards the blackboard and began writing. A bell rang and woke up everyone around the room. Standing up David started making his way down and out. Behind him ran up a girl with brown hair.
"Hey Reiss, want to go eat some food at the new restaurant they opened about a block away." She said while walking behind him.
" Sorry, Beth. I need to go back to the dorm and finish an essay." He said as he walked toward the dorms.
"Oh come on! I think it would be fun." She said with a flip of her hair.
He turned to her and nodded before saying, "Maybe in an hour. I don't have class until 1."
She smiled wide and ran off.
As he walked, a few girls giggled and call out to him. He smiled and waved as he closer to the dorm entrance.
He entered the dorm lobby and turned to the right stairwell. Walking up the stairs to the fourth floor, he then made his way down the hall until he got to the dorm labeled 413. Pulling out the room key, he quickly unlocked the door and entered the dorm apartment. Standing in the small kitchenette was a boy with spiky black hair. In his hand was a butcher knife and he was cutting some vegetables. Turning around slightly, he nodded to David.
"Hey Dan, How are you?" David asked as he closed the door and set his notebooks down on the table in the kitchenette.
"Bad, I went to that new restaurant and was attacked. The guy managed to bite me in the arm. I rushed back here and quickly disinfected the bite." The guy said as he showed his bite mark before turning back around to keep cutting vegetables.
David opened a blue notebook and started to work on his essay. The guy looked down at his wristwatch and started to rush around.
"Reiss, I got to go. Class in five minutes. See you later" The guy said as he ran out the dorm.
"Okay see you later." David called as he wrote away in his notebook.
David just continued to write, not noticing how much time was going by. At 11, a knock came at his door and he got up from the table.
Outside the door was a very shakened Beth. She looked around and quickly rushed into the apartment. As soon as the door was closed she relaxed a bit.
"Oh thank god you're okay, Reiss. It's a mad house out there. Everyone is killing each other. I barely made it here." The girl rambled on as she took a seat at the table. David walked over to the fridge and pulled out two soda, handing one to the girl. He took a seat across from her and stared at the frightened girl.
"Okay, Beth. Calm down. Explain everything slowly." He said as he leaned back in the chair. "Well, I was walking around the campus after getting a coffee from the cafe. As I walked around, I heard a scream and rushed over towards it. On the ground was one of our classmates eating another! I gasped and the one eating turned to me. He started to make his way towards me and then behind him, I noticed that the other was also getting up. I turned and ran away. But those things started to chase me. Then more screaming started. I lost the monsters chasing me, but I got stuck in the middle of the campus. The only place I thought to come was here. As I was making my way here, a screaming girl ran by me and a lot of those monsters turned to me. I managed to get into the building, but I don't know if they got in or not." She said in between sips of the soda.
Soon after she finished talking, a scream was heard from the hall. She jumped up and threw herself under the table. Running and pleads for help were heard. A loud bang was heard against the door. The banging continues and the door began to break. The girl got up from under the table and started looking through one of the kitchen drawers
"Hey, what are you doing?" David asked as he moved over to her.
"Finding something to use as a weapon. Those things are terrifying and i am not going to let them get me." She said as she closed a drawer and opened a cabinet. Looking through it, she pulls out a pan. The front door finally breaks and into the room stumbled three of the undead. The girl runs up to the first and tries hitting it in the chest area. The monster fell down and was replaced by the next one. She did it to all of them and was shocked to see that they got right back up.
David stared at what was happening and turned quickly to the counter. Seeing that the knife was in the sink,he reached for it and turned around. Right behind him was one of the undead. It had part of its stomach missing and its intestines were hanging out. It reached with dried blood hands at David. David quickly lifted the knife and stabbed the undead in the undead dropped to the ground as blacken blood dripped from its head.. Reaching for the knife again, he pulled it out and turned towards Beth who was swinging the pan at the undead's head. It dropped to the ground and she slammed the pan down on its head, crushing completely.
Looking around, David started to make his way towards the door. Behind him, Beth followed quietly. Looking out the door to the left, he saw that the walls and ground was covered in blood. Down the hall, a bunch of the undead stumbled around. He turned to the right and saw that it was somewhat clear. Only two bodies were on that side. Both seemed dead since they barely had anything left besides their bones. Looking back at Beth, he motioned her to start walking to the right.
As they made their way down the hall toward the stair case, David looked from one room to the next making sure nothing popped out. They got to the closed stair case door and Beth quickly opened the door slightly. Looking into the stair case, she decided to close it back again.
"We can't go down that. Its filled with those monsters." She said as she looked around.
David nodded and turned around facing the hall. Beth felt a breeze and turned to see that a window was opened. Poking David softly, she then pointed to the window. He looked at it and nodded. They both made their way to the window and looked down.
" Could be worse. We could be on the seventh floor." David joked as he tried to climb out.
The knife made a slight clunk sound on the metal frame of the window and a bunch of moans were heard from the hallway getting louder. He threw the knife down to the grass and quickly climbed down. Looking up at Beth, she threw down her pan and climbed out just in time.
Climbing down, they looked around and David pointed to the college entrance. " We have to get out of here. Maybe the police can help." He said as he picked up the knife.
"You are right. Lets go." Beth said as she picked up her pan.
They both walked right through the middle of the campus as it was the least filled by the dead. As they slowly got closer to the exit, a scream rang out from the classroom area. Beth looked over and started to make her way over.
David kept walking toward the exit. Beth turned to look at him and said, " hey lets go help them!" David looked at her and then at the exit. He shook his head. "It is too dangerous, we are almost out."
"Look, Im not going to let someone die." Beth said as she put her arms to her hips.
"Im not going." David said as he turned to walk away.
"Fine. I'll go help then!" Beth screamed at David as she ran away to the classrooms.
David walked toward the campus exit and turned back for a last look.
"Guess class is over now." He said to himself as he walked away.
I'd like to thank ShinBP for David Reiss. I actually was surprised and very excited to see that name pop up, since I have seen him around in some other stories. I hope I lived up to your expectations, ShinBP! If I didn't please let me know!
SO what did you guys and girls think? I would like to know!
Oh and I plan to bake a pie tomorrow, So I'll virtually share with everyone!
