Screams erupted from the room as everyone went crazy. People ran round the room, not knowing where to go as Joe was still standing in the doorway eating the preppy girl. The glow* girls ran to the side doors and flung them open they quickly ran through before everyone else and huddled in a corner away from the stampede that the attendees had become. The very potter group had frozen in their seats, stuck between being scared out of their wits and disbelief that their friend was feasting on a fan. Joey, still haunted by the rotting face of his friend was the first to back away.

"It's not Joe." He muttered as he tried to usher the rest of the group away. "He's...his face..."

"What, what's going on?!" Britney asked, her voice cracking through the impossibilty of the situation.

"His... his face was...pale...his eyes were...he's...I don't know how the hell...but...he's..." Joey stammered.

"A zombie" JoMo breathed. None of it made sense but it was the only thing that could explain it. They didn't have any time to discuss the matter as Joe had finished his snack of intestines, letting the bones and flesh of the girl drop to the floor he turned to the group and they saw the full extent of his zombification. His skin was grey and nearly see-through, a complete contrast to his chin which was dripping with blood, his eyes were completely white and his teeth seemed sharper. He looked at them for a moment, as if sniffing them, he went to advance towards them but decided against it when a silly girl tried to sneak past him. He turned, grabbed her then bit her arm, he went to start eating her but a scream tore his attention and he darted toward the crowd that was trying to get through the door, taking small bites out of those he could grab. Meredith ran over to the girl Zombie Joe had bitten, she was lying on the floor and getting paler by the second. Meredith ripped part of her plaid overshirt off and used it to apply pressure to the bit.

"You're gonna be okay, honey. We just need to get you out of here." Meredith said, she lifted the girl to her feet and quickly got her over to the corner, the place had turned back into a stampede as they tried to run from Zombie Joe. the others had grabbed a couple chairs and stood guard around them incase any one, or anyTHING tried to get to them.

"Thank you" The girl said, although it was more of a growl. Meredith's eyes went wide as she noticed the black of the girl's eye narrow into nothing and suddenly she fell. There was a moment where Meredith had a pretty good idea at what was going to happen but didn't want to believe that that was going to happen until she had to. And then she had to.

"Uh, guys." She said as the girl's eyes opened again and were completely white. Devin was the first to turn round and see what had happened.

"DUCK!" She shouted, Meredith complied and devin swung the chair round, knocking the girl on the back of the head, knocking her down. As far as they could tell, she was completely dead. Good. At least all those movies were right.

"They're all gonna turn!" Brian R shouted "Let's go!" And that they did. They abandoned their chairs, they were too awkward to carry, and stuck close together as they ran out of the room into the lobby.

The lobby was choas. News had spread fast and the employees at the desk were calling the police, the Starfury staff were trying to find each other to talk about what to do and the attendees and guests of the hotel were either running around trying to find their friends, trying to find a weapon of some sort, trying to get out of the doors that seemed to be blocked in some way or trying to get into the lift so they could hide in their room. The group ran over to some of the Starfury staff.

"What's going on?" Joey asked them, they looked just as shocked as everyone else.

"We don't know, Sean's gone to find out from the hotel staff, he told us to wait here." One of them answered. None of the group were happy with just staying there, especially when they knew what would be coming through those doors any minute now, they went over to the desk and found Sean shouting at one of the employees who was on the phone.

"I know!" They shouted back "But there's not anything I can do! It's not exactly something we've got a plan for!"

"Well this isn't a very good one!" Sean shouted right in the guy's face

"It's not my plan, sir!" the guy spat, obviously still under employment code, despite the circumstances.

"What's going on?" Devin asked before Sean ended up punching the guy.

"They've locked us in!" Sean told them. A chorus of 'what's 'who's and 'why's swam through the group. "The police, and management. Neither of them knew what to do so the police decided that containing whatever's going on here whilst they sorted out a better plan was the right way to go."

"Shit." Brian R said. Just then screams pierced through the noise of the lobby. "SHIT!" he added and they took off running, with no way out and no way of getting up to their rooms going further into the hotel seemed like the only option. They ran into the 'green room' which was just a meeting-type room that had been reserved for the guests to be able to chill out in. Britney was first to reach the doors, she flung them open and held them for the others, no one else was coming this way so she closed them, locked them and piled loads of chairs and tables in front of them.

"What. The. Fuck." She said, backing away from her barricade.

"Did anyone see what happened to the girls?" Joey asked.

"I've got to find Brian." Meredith breathed.

"Is there anything we can use as a weapon?" JoMo asked, looking around the room.

"How many do you think there are now?" Brian R wondered.

"Everyone SHUT UP!" Devin shouted. Everyone stopped pacing and stared at her. "We've got to stick together. We'll find the others when we find them but for now we've just got to stay alive. We're all freaked out, so we've just got to stay calm and LISTEN to each other." She told them before taking a deep breathe and carrying on. "Okay. Joey, I'm sorry but I don't think anyone saw anything, but I'm sure they're fine, they were far away from Joe and it was probably them who opened that door. Meredith, text Brian, tell him where we are, but while we're safe here we're not going anywhere else. Joe...good point, you and Britney see if you can find anything to hit them on the head with. And Brian...I have no idea."

JoMo and Britney did what Devin said whilst Devin put all of the refreshments Starfury had provided them in the room on one table so they knew where everything was and how much there was. Joey and Brian R made small blockades on the other doors that they could easily pull away if anything happened. Meredith sat on the floor and texted Brian:

Are you ok? Where are you? We're in green room XXXXX
