death sits in the chair across from me and watches.
Death see's but has no eyes.
Death knows but has no mind.
We often sit together in the night.
Death has one move left.
I have none.

V.A.N.I.T.Y
Shao:
it had been awhile, but we had killed all the zombies after us, and introduced ourselves to the two teenagers. One guy, and one girl.
The girls name was Alice and the guys was Jackson.
"i'm Katherine, and this is Shao." I rubbed the back of my neck.
"hi." I mumbled.
Alice smiled.
"nice to meet you Katherine, Shao."
I smiled calmly, but Katherine smirked.
"you too." she said.
I looked around.
"so, you gonna come with us?" Jackson asked calmly.
Katherine laughed.
"obviously, the more the better, and that applies a lot when your in a zombie outbreak."
Alice smirked.
"i wouldn't exactly call them zombies, this isn't like the movies."
Katherine waved a hand.
"i'll call them zombies."
she looked around.
"but we should get going, the sun is setting, and we need to get out of here."
we nodded and began our walk, or jog, or whatever you call it, down the hall.
I didn't like the sound of zombie outbreak.
…...
V.A.N.I.T.Y
Alexander:
we stood in an abandoned teachers room (well now it was abandoned) the doors were locked, or more like held down by two wooden beams.
We had decided to check out how everything was doing on the outside, and to tell you the truth, it wasn't looking good.
"i can't believe this." Cathy grumbled.
Wade hummed in agreement, his eyes steely as they watched the large TV.
Phil sat on a computer desk with his knee against his chest, and the other dangling, whilst I stood by with my arms crossed.
"i wonder if they were roaming around at all last night, and how someone even got infected in the first place." Phil mumbled.
I nodded.
"the possibility that the government made some sort of virus by accident is likely, but I doubt it. This shit goes far beyond science." I growled.
Phil looked at me and smirked.
"maybe it's gods wrath." he joked.
I smirked.
"then were fucked."
Laricia sighed and grabbed a water bottle from the mini-fridge and turned back to the female reporter.
"do not leave your homes unless absolutely necessary." I grunted in annoyance.
"pssshhh, like that's going to help any. And what does the government suggest we do when we can't keep "them" out anymore." Laricia hissed.
I looked at her.
"that's the thing, there not thinking about that, there thinking about now. You know how much of a panic it would cause if they started announcing that kind of shit." I shook my head.
"we wouldn't have any order at all, and we'd be at war with ourselves. Fear will take us over and send us over the edge, completely washing away our humanity." I looked at everyone.
"then we wont be any better then those flesh eating monsters outside." I shrugged.
"they'll keep announcing things like that, as if our doors can keep us safe, and lie to us. I don't really blame them though, it'd be hard to do anything with a bunch of terrified people killing each other."
Phil nodded in agreement.
"not to mention it might actually cause more people to die if they do, people will start making stupid decisions and getting themselves killed, letting there fear drive them. I'm not saying just barricading yourself in your house is okay, but at least they'd be able to have some small amount of hope, that maybe they have a chance of being saved, that this will be resolved and the military will kill all of "them"." Phil said, almost tiredly.
I chuckled, and Wade sighed.
"i can understand that they don't want to cause a panic and what not, but wouldn't it be better if they just got it over with. I mean, there's no way in hell your going to survive if you depend on the military to get rid of these things and save you. Hope is one thing, staying alive is another." Wade said.
I chuckled.
"yes, I have to agree with you on that one." I shoved my hands in my pockets and leaned back.
"but still, there's the issue on keeping peace. Of course, if people are stupid enough to believe that the military will save us all." I looked at the TV and sighed.
"then it's obvious they weren't meant to survive in the first place." I mumbled to myself.
Cathy thwacked me in the arm.
"don't say stuff like that Alex, no body deserves to die." she said.
I looked at her with calm eyes.
"now I didn't say they deserved to die, I merely pointed out that they weren't meant to survive."
Cathy huffed and crossed her arms, and I chuckled calmly.
"anyway, we should get going now, were close to the bottom floor, and I don't believe we've come across any of them. And don't forget Phil."
I smirked.
"you need to test out the sound theory."
Phil gave a dry laugh, and we exited the room.
V.A.N.I.T.Y
Katherine:
we all silently walked through the halls, my weapon held securely against me.
Shao walked quickly next to me, And Alice and Jackson walked in front.
We made our way to a stairwell, the only sound we heard was the distant moans of those "things" that walked outside.
Going down the winding staircase, my ears perked up when I heard several whispered, and soft breathing. For some reason, our of every horrid scent in here, there was one scent that I was quite familiar with. The mix of woods and rain, along with another smell that I could never really decide on, but I knew it smelt wonderful.
I tried to put a name to the scent, but my brain ended up blank. Once we made it to the end of the staircase, I saw a group of teenagers in the hall, gripping my weapon, I looked at them.
They were talking like humans, and one leaned against the wall with a bored look. It was a girl, with dark cherry red hair and light skin. From the looks of it, they were Alive.
One of them heard us and spun around.
He had messy black hair, and icy blue eyes.
My eyes widened, and I slightly smiled.
Alex.
He looked at me for a couple of seconds, before quickly walked forward towards us, before encasing me in a hug.
I softly laughed and hugged him back.
We were close friends I guess, and hung out quite a bit. I knew a lot about him, but he was still very secretive. And he always had a distant look in his eyes.
"glad your okay Alex." I said with a wide smile.
He let go and smirked, ruffling my hair.
"i'm glad your alright too." he said calmly.
The scent hit me again, and I was able place a face on it. It was Alex's scent.
It always made me feel homey, and cozy inside.
After we all exchanged names, Alex told us about there plan on testing out a theory of there's. To see if Zombies (I would call them that) could hear, but not see, or feel.
I agree'd on it, but a couple of the others were still worried.
Once we got towards the front entrance, we found the court yard filled to the brim with them.
From the looks of it, it was time to test out the theory.
V.A.N.I.T.Y
Phil:
silently, I walked onto campus grounds, the grass flattening beneath my feet.
Those things walked around, making loud and soft moaning noises, and gurgling noises, because some of them had gashes in there throat, and blood gurgled up to there lips.
There arms were stretched out in front of them in the classic zombie pose, and I had to move in certain ways just so I don't end up touching or bumping into them.
Looking towards the parking lot as I weaved through them, I saw three school buses parked perfectly, as if this wasn't a zombie apocalypse. (enter slightly annoyed sigh here)
I shook off the thought and looked around.
By the looks of it they had no idea I was here? Lucky break for me.
I looked up towards the others, and they all looked slightly relieved.
Alex looked to be in thought for a second, before he picked up the door wedge, and through it across the lawn, away from us. It made a heavy "thump" and the zombies looked towards it, and made there way over.
I smirked, and the others quickly walked forward, being careful to keep silent.
Cathy caught up with me as we snuck past, and whispered so quietly that I had to strain to hear.
"what if we don't find any keys?" I thought for a moment.
She had a good point, but hopefully we'd find some, at least.
"we'll wing it." I whispered back with a large grin on my face.
The others guarded the side of the bus while me and Alex went to the side door.
We grabbed the end and pulled, trying to open the folding door.
Finally, we pulled it back, but in doing so, we also caused a rather loud bang.
Every head turned, including the zombies.
Alex cursed under his breath and pulled out his weapon, as did everyone else.
"get in the bus now!" Cathy yelled, and as the others ran for the opening, those things ran for us.
Me, Wade, Jackson, Alex, Laricia, Shadow, and Katherine guarded, while the others filed into the bus quickly.
I took a low swing to one of those things gut, efficiently flipping it over, and stabbed it in the center of it's forehead with my saber.
From the corner of my eye I could see Laricia running towards one, and flipping over it, her dark red hair looked like wild flames with the setting sun shining through it.
She landed behind it, kicked it's feet out from under it, and quickly moved forward, turning her blade in a certain angle, and stabbing it under the jaw, and into the brain stem.
I was impressed.
One came up from behind me. Both sabers in hand, I spun around and strike forward, slamming the end of my sabers into it's throat, and forcing my arms in different directions, decapitating it.
Katherine took her Javelin and swung it around her body is a blur, any zombie which even tried to touch her was thrown to the side, or had it's neck broken from the force of the impact.
How she kept her weapon from touching her, I would never know.
She twirled it over her head, and when a zombie came to her side, she swung the javelin out to the side, and "SNAP" it's head went rolling under the bus.
Damn.
That's when Cathy screamed.
"i can't find the keys!"
fuck.
…...
V.A.N.I.T.Y
Karine:
Shao guarded the door and struck when any zombie that got past Phil and the others.
I was biting my bottom lip so hard I thought I was about to bleed.
My heart pounded, and my hands were sweaty as I gripped the seat, my nails digging into the black fabric.
I watched as the others fought. Some using there talents that involved flipping and kendo, and others (mostly Alex) using blunt force.
Well he didn't have that long of a weapon, so he couldn't really twirl it around his head like Katherine.
And his weapon was also to long, so he couldn't exactly use it like Laricia's.
So he merely used force, which seemed to be working quite well.
That's when Cathy screamed worriedly.
"i can't find the keys."
damn it! We were doom- wait... hehehehe.
I stood up and walked to the front of the bus.
"here, let me, If I try, I can probably hot wire it. Anyone got a light?"
Alice stood up and tossed me her phone.
This would work.
But I also needed something to cut it? Maybe I could ask-
Cathy dug into her purse (which I have no idea how she still has it T.T ) and pulled out a rather sharp nail filer and handed it to me.
I smiled.
"thanks."
she nodded, and I got to work, first opening a small latch that covered the wires, and grabbing them, cutting and pealing off some of the rubber which covered the wires.
( A/N I have no idea if there's even a latch on a bus so you can get to the wiring, but i'll just pretend there is. Don't judge meh, i'm only 15, so I have no idea if there is one. But I do know a tiny tiny bit about hot wiring, only because my father's an electrician who's obsessed with his job or should I say with himself? *innocent smile*T.T )
cutting some of the wiring, I worked with what I knew, and attached the wires to a couple of new ones.
I had never hot wired a school bus, so I was nervous that I might be ruining said bus, but when I heard the engine start, I had a wide grin on my face.
Luckily my *cough* training finally payed of.
Cathy signaled the others to get on.
Once everyone was safely on board, I sighed.
I would have been a bit more relaxed, but those things were outside of the bus rocking it back and forth!
Laricia opened a window and started randomly stabbing them in the head when they got near her side of the window.
Cathy started clutched the steering wheel, and clenched her teeth.
She hit the gas, and we were out of there.
Or kinda, considering we had to break through the fence with our bus.
No biggy.
Moving forward, I clutched the seat with a vice grip and closed my eyes.
It was like I felt the impact before it even came, and when it did, some of us flew forward. My eyes were closed, and my body was forced forward. I would have tumbled to the front of the bus if someone hadn't caught me.
Strong arms encircled my waist, and we were forced to the side as the bus swerved. My eyes still clenched tight, I leaned into the person holding onto me, and was met with the comforting scent of woods and rain, and a little something else, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it? But what ever it was, it was almost, homey?
We stumbled again as the bus skidded, and both me and the person holding onto me fell onto the bus seat, me on the person. I hid my head in the crook of there neck, gripping there shirt as the bus moved, and I heard people tumbling around a bit.
Once the bus finally settled down, did I finally open my eyes and look up.
I was met with a pair of icy blue eyes, with raven hair slightly in there face.
My mouth opened, and I gaped, embarrassed, almost like a fish (but I would never admit that)
there was almost a kind look in his eyes, and he smiled a smile which didn't reach his eyes.
"are you alright." he asked, almost calmly, except there seemed to be a hint of worry in his voice.
I blinked and nodded.
He looked at me forehead, and his eyebrows scrunched together.
"your bleeding." he said muttered.
I placed my fingers to my forehead, then brought them down to be met with crimson smeared on my finger pads.
We both sat up, and he lightly sighed.
The blood ran down between my eyes, to my nose.
He took off his blue tie and held it to my forehead.
First thing I wanted to know, was how I got the cut in the first place, second thing was, Why was he helping me?
He seemed like the kind of person who didn't care exactly if you hurt yourself, what with his whole, demeanor. The way he said that it was obvious anyone who believed the broadcast wasn't meant to survive in the first place. And then he goes and twist's up my opinion of him again?
It seemed he saw the question in my eyes, because he merely smiled and said.
"what, am I supposed to let you bleed out?"
that wasn't very smooth, but the way he said it made me feel better.
I smiled back at him, and I looked down at me folded hands.
I had a feeling things would turn out a bit better then I hoped?
Looking around I stared at all the people who had even cared to help me out in the first place.
It wouldn't be as hard as I thought with them.
Looking back at Alex, I smiled.
Maybe, just maybe, we could survive this?
