To envy a person who cannot cry,

is like envying a person who cannot smile.

It's apart of themselves,

and to know that they've lost the ability is...

quite sad to me actually.

To know one can no longer cry in happiness,

or sorrow.

It would drive me mad if it were myself.

D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E

Laricia:

the first thing I thought about when I met Shadow was that he was quite shy. It was obvious, his personality, the way he moves, talks, and fight's.

I didn't really know what Wade thought of him... and I didn't really care. He was such a party killer.

Wade had his hands fisted in his pants pockets, Shadow had a thumb in his pants loop with a distant look on his face, and I was humming a song I had made up. It was a parody my little pony song, it was about me finally killing that little pink bastard Pony!

Wade obviously tried to ignore my song, and Shadow kept looking at me from the corner of his eyes, but stopped when I shot him a dark glare and changed the tune a bit so it involved Shadow.

I wanted to burst into laughter that very second.

"you know, singing will attract them." Wade said in a calm tone.

I looked at him and frowned.

"why's that?"

"there attracted to sound, and most likely blind." he pointed out.

I huffed.

"and how would you know this carrot top." I grumbled.

He glared at me from the corner of his eyes.

"when we were fighting them, I noticed they were mostly making there way towards you, because you were the one making the most noise. Of course, maybe they just didn't like you and decided they'd like you to shut up." he said calmly.

I clenched my fist's.

"any other evidence to back up your theory?"

he nodded and pointed down the stair well we were passing, about twelve of those "things" were down there.

"if they could see us they'd be up here already." he whispered.

I blinked, then smirked.

"so we have the upper hand?" I whispered.

He thought for a moment.

"yes, and no. you see, as you can tell, there a lot stronger now, and they have the upper hand when there in the dark, also there hearing is quite remarkable." he whispered quietly.

I nodded, and Shadow looked down the stair case as we spoke.

"uh, guys." he said.

I sighed.

"what." I said.

He pointed down the stair case, and both me and Wade looked down it.

All of the zombies were staring at us.

"damn, they do have good hearing." I whispered.

Wade nodded.

"we don't have enough time to fight, it's getting dark." he mumbled.

I looked at him.

"so what, we just run?" Wade nodded.

"like hell."

the zombies began making there way up the stairs, rather quickly, and we began to run down the hall.

"we need to find a larger group of people." I said, panting. Wade nodded in agreement, and Shadow merely hummed in understanding.

We made our way through the halls, and then I began to see a group of people.

There was a girl with long, bright blonde pigtails, which were slightly messy, and bright blue eyes. then a girl with brown hair, with red layers, and breath taking gray eyes. then another girl with jet black hair, with green eyes, which had a little bit of brown in them.

There were others too. A guy with curly, medium brown hair, and chocolate brown eyes, and olive toned skin. Then another guy with messy black hair and icy blue eyes.

I only knew one of them, and that was the black haired one, Alexander.

"run!" I yelled, and they all looked up, I could see alex's eyes narrow, along with the other guys.

"fuck." the both said in unison.

…...

Katherine:

Shao and me decided it was a safe bet to make our way into the school now. We needed to find survivors. I don't really want to go back in, but this was living human beings were talking about. To abandon them would be inhuman.

And I'm very much human.

We made our way into the building, Shao was silent, calm, but it was obvious she was also in deep thought, and on high alert. Her fist's clenched, I thought for a moment.

"do you have a weapon Shao?" I asked.

She shook her head.

"not yet." she murmured.

I thought for a minute, then smiled brightly and ran towards the janitors closet, and opened it, pulling out a rather large wooden pole, but quite light in weight. I threw it to Shao, and she easily caught it.

"use this, it's good for keeping distance between those things, i'm pretty sure using your fist's the whole time could result in getting bitten.

She looked at the wooden staff and nodded calmly.

She looped a thumb in her pants loop and swung the staff around fluidly, and whipped it so it faced the ground, a calm smirk appeared on her face.

"thank you Kai." she said softly.

I smirked and nodded.

"lets get going, shall we?" I asked.

She merely nodded and we headed forwards.

…...

D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E

Jackson:

we made our way through twisting halls, and Alice seemed quite calm, but I could see the fear in her eyes when she had looked up at me after I had saved her. Her emerald green eyes had been wide with surprise, horror, fear, and admiration.

Now she acted as if nothing had happened, as if she hadn't almost died.

Strange?

Her hair was bright blonde, and pulled into pigtails with crimson red ribbons. One of the ribbons was straying from her golden locks of hair, and looking as if it was about to come undone.

She was around 4'6, with olive toned skin.

I stuffed my hands in my pockets and looked around.

"you think any one is even still alive?" she asked in a distant tone.

I looked at her.

"i don't know." I said truthfully.

She nodded and looked down, looking almost sad.

I nodded and looked ahead, but we stopped as we heard running footsteps.

We both looked behind us, to find two teenagers running up the hall, both of them very much alive. One of them reminded me of a boy, and the other was very obviously a girl... she had a low cut shirt on..

I knew the one who looked like a boy was a girl because her movements were to graceful to be that of a guy.

One of them had long black hair swept to the side, with red and blonde streaks in her hair, and abnormal red eyes. The other girl was slightly similar, except her build wasn't as feminine.

She had black hair going to about her shoulders, the left side longer then the right, and the ends of her hair was bleached red. She also had red eyes, except they took on a more chestnut brown color.

Then I noticed the hoard of zombies behind them. O.O

"I'm not tastey, I swear!" the more feminine girl screamed.

The girl with short hair nodded in agreement and kept running.

I gripped my wrench and took a fighting stance, Alice doing so as well, holding each metal tonfas out symmetrically.

Both girls ran past, but skidded to a stop when they saw us.

"gonna help?" Alice asked with a calm smirk. The girl with longer hair got a determined look on her face and nodded. The girl with shorter hair merely took a fighting stance as a sign of agreement.

At least there's survivors.

I thought to myself as I swung my wrench and let it slam ruthlessly into one of those "things" heads.

I would probably be very messed up after this.

…...

D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E

Alexander:

I swung forward, and caught the zombie in it's forehead. What's worse is I used to know some of these people.

Phil had just killed tha one girl from my mathclass who always hummed and snuck chocolate into the class room.

Karine did a roundhouse kick on that one nerd from computer class who was obsessed with symmetry and cats, Daisey killed the principle by slammed both ends of her broomsticks into his eyes, Laricia killed the school nurse by slamming her blades into the back of her skull.

It didn't bother me, more like it confused me. I had just seen all of these people alive and healthy merely an hour ago, laughing and smiling, and now there ruthless killers trying to rip of limb from limb.

Anyone would be slightly confused.

"were these things roaming around last night when we were at our homes?" I thought to myself.

I mentally shuddered.

To think I could have easily died in my sleep.

To think we all could have easily died last night?

How did the government not find out about this earlier?

or... did they know all along?

That thought left my head when Cathy screamed.

She was pressed against a locker, holding off one of those things with her baseball bat, her whip on the ground.

It clacked it's teeth clacked as it tried to get to her, and I gritted my teeth.

I ran forward, lifting my arm, I slammed down forcefully, and the ended of the sharpened chair lef stuck out of that "things" left eyes, blood splattered, and it slid to the floor, making one last clack with it's jaw.

"i never liked him." I said darkly.

"guys, I found this behind a crack in the wall." Cathy said as she moved around the blood covered dagger she had used.

I saw Laricia's eye twitch.

"that's mine..." she growled.

"and you used it."

Cathy looked at her calmly.

"it kept me alive, so yeah, I used it." she countered.

Laricia spun her dagger around and pointed it at Cathy.

"it's mine, therefore you can't use it."

Cathy rolled her eyes.

"my god, just relax," she mumbled.

I saw Laricia grin, and her pupils slightly expanded.

"i will after I kick your ass." she ran towards Cathy with her blade, and Cathy kicked up and slammed her foot into Laricia's face, and slid up the locker, spinning her bat around a bit.

"come at me hot head." Cathy taunted, and Laricia swung her blade, aiming for Cathy's shoulder. My hand shot out, and I quickly grabbed Laricia's wrist.

"stop it, both of you. We don't need anyone wounded and unable to fight, do you hear me." I growled, glaring at both of them.

Laricia yanked her wrist from my hand and huffed, and Cathy looked down with a frustrated look.

"i know you two are intelligent, so stop acting like hot headed idiots." I said calmly.

Cathy looked up.

"Laricia starte-"

"don't give me that, you taunted her, yes Laricia is also in the wrong, but don't you dare start saying she started it, it's childish." I said calmly.

God I feel like i'm talking to two children.

"Alex is right, were not going to get anywhere if we fight. It will most likely get one of you killed." Phil said calmly, crossing his arms.

Wade nodded in agreement, leaning against the window with a calm expression.

Laricia huffed, and Cathy looked down.

"sorry." she muttered.

I nodded.

"let's get going, standing here all day isn;t going to help us." I said.

Everyone agree'd, and we made our way down the hall.

What will happen when Phil test's that theory, the one that said the zombies were blind?

The probability that it's wrong is high, but we need to check this out.

This shouldn't be possible, shouldn't be real. It was all surreal... we needed to get out of this school soon. It was getting dark, and the school was filled to the brim with these things that defy nature.

Mom, sis, please be okay.
