A/N:Ooh~ is this a new chapter I see? :D I'm sorry for the long delay, but for the past couple of months I've been through a lot. I had to move houses, my computer broke (hence the reason why I'm using my uncle's computer) and I've been busy w/ homework for AP testing. So I hope this can make up for it. Even though it is rather short than my previous ones ^^" Also, I'm halfway done w/ ch.3 for 'A Rose to Form A Perfect Circle' if you're interested and ch. 4 for 'Aim For the Head' is starting to be typed ;D

Warnings: Grammer mistakes and some swearing...

I own nothing :(

Lesson # 3- Locate A Well-Stabled Shelter To Take Part In Refuge

"Holy shit! We're going down!" "Pull up, damn it! Pull up!" "What do you think I'm trying to do?" "Spain! Go warn the others to brace themselves! We're not gonna make it!"

The world meeting was scheduled today this time in Britain, to discuss the main issue of this newly found disease. Most of the countries came to discuss the problems as of what this disease may bring to their homes and most importantly, to their people. They were going over the documents, trying to figure out a way to reverse this terrible infection. That's when they were hit with the news.

The countries were informed that the disease's outcome was already taking effect and that the crazed "zombies", as America put it, where already breaking into the building. Fortunately for them, their meeting was scheduled to be within a private meeting room within an airport in case of an emergency.

The countries were escorted toward the rear gates and led into a private plane. They were told to remain within the aircraft until the pilot came. However, the pilot never showed up and worse, they could see the zombies heading towards their plain. The only option left was to have someone fly them out before they were surrounded.

Now here they were, trying to fly their way out of the country. Well, they were trying until the engine failed them. Now it was Britain trying to coach, more like force, America to steady the plain for a gentle crash rather than a fierce nose dive.

The Spaniard made his way back to the others who were already feeling the force of the impact. "Everyone! Take cover! We're gonna-!" Then the plan made contact with the ground.

The plane crashed within a deserted area. Nothing but field stretched along the ground. The plane exploded with a blazing fire. Britain laid there, sprawled along the grass. He slowly raised his head and turned to the fuming blaze coming from the fire. His eyes shot open wide when he remembered that the others were still in there.

The Brit tried to bring himself up to his feet, but failed once he felt the excruciating pain rising within his lower abdomen. He fell down once again, grabbing at his stomach. Suddenly he saw someone coming towards him and looked up. It was America looking relieved when he saw his British friend was awake and not passed out.

"Dude! Oh thank God you're alive!" The American exclaimed. All Britain did was wave him off with worry."I wasn't the only one in that plane you know. What happened to everyone?" The American looked back and pointed behind himself. As Britain looked towards the direction he was pointing at, he saw everyone. Some were a little more bannged up than others, but for the most part, everyone was safe.

"Me, Germany, and a couple of others were able to get everyone out of the plane in time before that happened." The American motioned with his head toward the flaming plane. It was then that the other countries came towards the two blonds. "Britain! You're alive!" Spain exclaimed. "Can you stand?"

"Not really. My stomach is kinda hurting." With that, America gently wrapped his arm around the smaller nation and helped him up to his feet. "Alright, now that we're all here, and strangely still alive, what in the hell do we do now?" Everyone went quiet for a moment as they thought for any resolutions. That is until they heard a faint noise.

"U-um, why don't we try over there?" Japan saw Canada point towards what looked like a mansion within the distance. "Oh, Canada-san. Did you say something?" A little enraged that still he was being somewhat ignore, the Canadian spoke a little louder than usual to get everyone's attention. "I said, why don't we try over there?"

This time, everyone looked toward where the blond man was pointing to. Feeling relieved to find some type of shelter, Germany decided to take order. "Alright. Everyone, this is what we're going to do, so listen carefully. We Are going to head up to that mansion over there upon that hill. Now, if there is anyone already there, we are to stick with our human names. That way we don't cause any situations. Understood?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. "Good. Now those who are able to walk please help and assist the ones who are wounded. I don't want anyone falling behind and becoming victims of those zombies." Italy started shivering at the word 'zombie' and started to desperately cling to Germany's arm. "G-Germany, please don't leave me behind." The German looked back at his frightened friend. "Don't worry Italy, I won't let nothing happen to you. Now let's go, ja?"

Slowly, everyone started going up the hill; helping one another out along the way. As he was making his way up the steep walk while helping Prussia out, Russia felt something within him. As if his cures was giving off some kind of warning. "That's strange..." "What is?" The Albino man asked. Russia looked back at his fellow nation. "Nothing. I thought I...felt something. It's nothing though." Prussia looked back at him questioningly. "Alright. If you say so." With that, the duo made their way, along with everyone else, to the sweetness of solitude.

"He used to be your friend. That was another life. With this single bullet, we're gonna blow his mind."

"Yuuki? Are you alright?" The small brunette girl turned to look over at her older brother. "Yeah. It's just that I'm worried about the others." Kaname gave her an assuring smile. "Don't worry about them. They have the place gated up, plus the night class can do fine against those monsters." This calmed Yuuki down a bit, but she was still confused as to why only her, Kaname, and Zero, who was driving, were the only ones to evacuate from Cross academy. Kaname had informed her earlier that it would be much safer for her to be escorted to a private location within the United Kingdom.

The place where the three would be staying was located near the outskirts of London within Britain. Kaname stated that only them three would be able to live there because he decided that it was best for the night class to guard the academy with master Cross. The only reason why Zero went along with them was so that he could be a shield for Yuuki in case of desperate emergency; and to heighten Kaname's amusement.

The car ride remained silent after the two siblings spoke with each other; the only sound being heard was the soft hum of the engine. They had been traveling all night and early morning, seeing things that made poor Yuuki's stomach turn. It was only then when they actually saw some peace and quiet as the car made its way towards the countryside.

Zero started fumbling with the GPS when he noticed it started to haze a little. With a couple of button pushing and quick tappings to the side, the GPS screen went completely blank. "Shit. Not now..." Zero mumbled underneath his breath. The pureblood heard the younger vampire and started to grow a little irritated when he figured out what Zero might have done. Worried, Yuuki leaned near the driver seat and looked over her friend's shoulder.

"Zero, what happened?" Kaname gently pulled her back to her seat trying to calm her. "This damn GPS just went blank on me. Now I have no clue where to turn off at." Zero looked around and noticed that they were now entering a small wood. He glared at the pureblood through the rearview mirror. "Any ideas where to go?" Kaname ignored his irritated stare and looked out his window in the backseat.

"Turn off over there where that dirt path is. Cross did say that the place he reserved was well hidden." Zero then proceeded to follow Kaname's orders and pulled the vehicle to the right. They proceeded to follow the path until they spotted a black iron gate partially opened. Zero pulled the car up slowly and peered out the window, looking through the iron rods to see a large stretch of grass with an enormous mansion at the end.

"Hey pure-blood, you sure this is the right place?" Zero questioned. Kaname leaned forward and over the passenger seat. "It could be, but I'm not so sure." "But I thought Cross said that it was going to be big enough for only three people. This looks like it could hold the whole academy." Yuuki added. "Yeah, you got a point there." The white haired teen commented. Zero looked back at Kaname through the rearview mirror. "So what do you suppose we do?"

Kaname thought for a moment. "Well, it is getting late and our GPS did die out on us." He started. "I think it's best that we stay here for a while. Just until this whole apocalypse thing dies down." Zero shrugged in agreement. "Whatever you say."

With that, Kaname opened the gate wide enough for the car to drive into the gated area with his mind power and Zero pulled the car through. The exhuman parked the car near the front of the mansion and turned off the engine.

Kaname and Yuuki exited from the backseat while Zero emerged from the driver seat. The three of them walked over to the front door of the mansion when the pure-blood turned to the other two.

"This is what we're going to do. we'll see if we can stay here for a while. If they decline us, we'll just try to find the place cross left for us."

"Or we could kill them." Zero stated flatly gaining a gasp from Yuuki. "Zero! You can't do that to them! What if they're in the same situation as us?" "Survival of the fittest yuuki." Kaname gave a disappointing look to him. "She's right Kyruu. Besides, how do we know they aren't vampire hunters or something?"

"Ok fine. But if they are I want Yuuki to be by me." "Alright. Yuuki, wait by Zero." Yuuki went by Zero's left, farthest away from the door lest Kaname was right and they start attacking. Zero kept one of his hands underneath his jacket, holding onto his bloody rose he kept hidden within his jacket just in case. With everyone prepared, Kaname went to the door and knocked on the thick wooden barrier.
