• Chapter 1 Infection

    The lights went out and every preppy girl let out a scream. “God stfu!” I yell in my head. “OMG, what happen to the lights?” one of the girls asked while trying to find the light switch. “Ok who ever turned the lights off is going to have a Saturday school with me!” Mr.Zeedyk said warning the whole class. “I found the light switch!” yelled one of the guys who were standing up before the lights went out. He put his hand the switch and flicked them… but nothing happened. He started flicking them like crazy and still nothing. “Ok all the lights went out all at once that’s creepy.” Nichole said to me in a low whisper.

    Nichole had on her “Charlie the unicorn” t-shirt and her black jacket. Her long dark brown hair had swept across her face as she bent down towards me.

    “I know but, now maybe I can get some sleep.” I say back at her in joking way. “Ok let me see if it just happened in our room or it happened to others as well.” Mr.Zeedyk said while getting up from his desk. He walks slowly towards the door trying not to trip on anything. He finally reaches the door and finds the handle, he turns it and opens the door. Nothing is all you could see. The hall ways were just as dark the class room. Other teachers had also gone out of their rooms to see what had happen. Some teachers had used their cell phones light to help them see in the dark.

    “What’s going on?” coach Whinehimer asked the other teachers outside. “THIS IS AN EMERGANCEY LOCK DOWN EVERY ONE IN THEIR CLASS ROOMS N-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”Was the last sound coming from Toby tiller over the intercom. Mr. Zeedyk and coach Whinehimer looked at each other and ran back into their class rooms. Once Mr. Zeedyk came inside everyone started to freak out. “OMG! What’s going to happen to him, TO US!?” one of the girls yelled out loud. “N-now everyone stay calm, and line up against the wall.” Said Mr. Zeedyk in a frighten voice. “Melissa what do you think happen to him?” Nichole whispered to me, I could hear the fear in her voice, “I-I don’t know but more importantly what’s going to happen to us?”I ask back. Before Nichole could answer there was a loud crash in the hall way.

    Everyone went still and there was only dead silent’s in the room. The noises got louder, closer to our room. All we could hear was the screaming of people in the other rooms. Then it all stopped. For a while you could hear nothing, but the hard breathing of everyone in the room. Without thinking Mr. Zeedyk, who was near the door any ways, went to the door to hear if anything was going on. He stood there for a minute and then he turned around. “I think it is over.” He said. CRASH!! One of the windows on the door broke. A hand came through the window and grabbed Mr. Zeedyk’s head and started to pull. “AHHHH!! GET IT OFF, HELP ME!” he yells at us, but we all just sat there on the floor trying to hold back our screams.

    The hand pulled harder and harder on his head, Mr.zeedyk still screaming was trying to break free from the hands grip. Everyone sat there in fear watching everything. Some girls started to cry thinking that they might die, and others started to whisper to them self’s that they ARE going to die. Nichole and I just sat there watching everything that was happening to Mr.Zeedyk. I hadn’t realized it, but when Nichole flinched I looked down at my hands, I could fell I was shaking in fear. While Mr.Zeedyk was trying to break free the other three windows shattered into pieces and was replaced with a sea full of hands. More hands filled the window where Mr.Zeedyk’s head was. All the hands grabbed Mr.Zeedyk’s head and pulled. “AHHHHHH….!” Mr.zeedyk screamed, and then came a loud cracking noise.

    The screaming had stopped, but the hands kept pulling until…. Mr.Zeedyk’s head was ripped right off his shoulders. At that moment everyone besides Nichole and I, screamed. His body stood there for a moment then fell forward and started oozing blood out by the pints. “H-hey at least now we won’t have him next year.” I said to Nichole while trying to stay calm. Nichole turns her head me giving me a serious look telling me that now is not the time for this. Everyone was too busy to notice that all the hands were gone except for one. “M-Melissa what is that hand doing?” Nichole asks me. I look at the window and I see the hand moving down towards the door handle.

    “********! It’s moving towards the handle.”I say to Nichole trying not to let anyone but her hear. “********! What are we doing to do? She asks me while taking my shoulders and shaking me back and forth. It took me a few seconds to get an Idea. “Nichole follow me.” I said to her while crawling forward. She gave me the “ok” and started to crawl behind me. We crawl towards Mr. Zeedyk’s desk and hide near the far side of the corner. Once we set our self down the hand had reached the handle. The hand slowly turned it and opened the door.

    Once the hand opened the door you could see the outline of a teen aged boy, and some of his fetchers. “A-Alex? I-Is that you?” said one of the girls who was on the floor. The teen aged boy turned his head to her and nodded. “OH ALEX!!” the girl said and ran towards him. He held his arms out and caught her. “Oh Alex…” she said again while she nuzzled her head on his chest. “Alex” grabbed her by the shoulders and was leaning in towards her as if to kiss her. She got on her tippy toes and also leaned into him.

    “AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!” the girl screamed with all her might. “Alex” had leaned into her neck and bitten her. Nichole and I flinched at her scream. “Alex” then bit down even harder and ripped a large chunk of the girls flesh and ate it. The scent of fresh blood had filled the air and other people(if that’s what you can call them now) had smelled its sweetness and came running towards our room. Thousands of people filled the room and headed towards everyone sitting against the wall.

    Nichole and I just sat there and listened to all the screaming, and ripping of limbs. After a while, when things were settled down I peeked my head out to see if most of the people were distracted. My eyes widen at all the blood, torn limbs that were all over the room. I turn my focus back to a way out. I bent back down to tell Nichole the game plan. “Ok Nichole they seem distracted on the count of three we run like hell towards door and we keep running ok?” I tell her and making sure she got everything.

    Nichole nodded her head in agreement. “Ok, ready, one, two, thr…HEY WAIT FOR ME!” I yell at Nichole who ran at two. Once we had gone out of the room one of them had seen us and ran after us. I had turned around and saw it running after us getting closer and closer. We ran as fast we could until we came to the dead end of the science hall. The door was blocked and we had nowhere to go. “s**t! MELISSA NOW WHAT!?” Nichole yelled at me panicking on what to do. I too was panicking as I just watched it coming our way. I ran towards the room to my left of me to see if it was unlocked….sadly it was locked. While I was checking the door Nichole ran to the room right from her. She turned the handle and the door opened and the keys where on the floor inside. “MELISSA THIS DOOR IS OPEN HURRY!” she yelled at me.

    I turned away from the door I was checking and ran straight for opposite room. SLAM! The door was closed shut right behind my back as I fell to the ground. “Ouch that hurt what the hell did I trip over?” I say thinking out loud. I felt the ground where I landed and felt something … cold and stiff. I grab the object and try to see what it could be. “AH!”I scream as I toss the object to other side of the room. “What?! What is it?!” Nichole yelled as if I was getting eaten by one of them. “I-I tripped over a severed arm! Ehhhh!!!!” I say to her while trying to get most of the blood of my hands.


    “God you scared the s**t out of me.” Nichole said to me while helping me up. “Sorry I didn’t mean t…” I stopped talking as I saw the sight of the whole room. Blood splattered all over the walls, body parts covering every inch of the floor. “Jesus Christ….” I said taking in everything I was seeing. “O-oh god…” was all Nichole could say. “ Come on let’s see if anyone is alive in the room next door.” I said to Nichole who was still standing there taking in everything. “o-ok” Nichole said while following behind me. I try opening the second door in the room but to my luck it was locked. “…hey Nichole do you have those keys?” I asked her hopefully. “Yah here” she said while handing me the keys that she picked up.

    I opened the door it was like we walked into a slaughter house. The walls and floor were covered inch by inch in blood. There was a large pile of bodies on the right corner of the room. “Jezz and I thought it couldn’t get any worse.” I said looking all around the room. Nichole stood there in silent’s still taking in everything she had seen. I kept looking at the pile of bodies when I happen to notice it slightly moved. “What the?” I asked myself. “What? What is it?” Nichole asked as she walked to where I was. “I –I thought I saw the pile of bodies move.” I told her.

    “Wa what?” Nichole asked frighten. As soon as she said that the pile of bodies shifted and began to rise. Nichole and I stood there in fear; we could not move, are legs were practically glued to the floor. The body pile slowly risen until exposing a head that turned to look at us. “AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” Nichole and I screamed at the top of our lungs at the sight. “N-Nichole? Me-Melissa?” asked the exposed head. ‘Hey wait a minute I know that voice’ I thought to myself. “W-Wendy?” I asked aloud. “MELISSA, NICHOLE! IT IS YOU!” Wendy yelled while running toward us with open arms.

    “Wendy you are so smart!” I said to her while squeezing her to death in my arms. “Uh… Melissa I …. can’t breathe!” Wendy said while trying to free herself from my grip. “Oh! Sorry.” I said while letting go of her. Gasping, Wendy made her way over to the pile of bodies and gathered her stuff. “Uh… Wendy I don’t think we will be needing any of that now.” I told her while putting my hand on her stuff. Wendy picked up her head and looked at me with solemn eyes. “Oh… well I just thought….. You know.” She said in a sad tone. “….I know Wendy I know.” I told while getting her stuff and placing on one of the unknocked desk. “We should get going and find Shyann.” Nichole said to us already heading to the door. “Ok but let me go out first.” I said while trying to find a blunt object to smack some of those things.

    I looked around the room and found a baseball bat in a black bag. I gave an evil smile, “perfect….” I said and headed toward the door. I cracked the door open and peeked my head out. The hallways seemed clear so I gave a signal for them to follow me. We ran the down the bloody, darken hallway towards Coach Keller’s room. I opened the door to make sure none of those things were in the room. “Ok its clear get in.” I said as I lead Nichole and Wendy into the room. “S-shyann, are in here?” Wendy whispered. On the left side of the room there was a large pile of bodies. “Hum I wonder…” I said as I walked over to it. Once I got to the pile I stretched my hand to poke it to see if Shyann was in there. Suddenly a light brown hand came from the pile and latched itself onto me. “AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I screamed as it held its grip on me. “Ahhhhhhhhhh!” Nichole and Wendy screamed as they held each other tight.

    The body that belonged to the hand stared to emerge. “Melissa?” the figure asked. ‘Hey wait a minute…I know that voice’ I thought to myself. Turning my head back to the pile I saw Shyann. “Get out of there Shyann!” I yelled at her while pulling her out of the pile. “Oh now I “see” you.” She said as she held out some ones eyeball. She was the only one who was laughing at her own joke. “DROP THAT!” I yelled as I smacked her hand. “Ouch that hurt.” Shyann said as she ribbed her hand. “We need to get out of this school.” Wendy said with concern. “She’s right we can’t stay in here with those ‘things’.” Nichole said.

    We all look at each other hoping one of us comes up with a plan. A few seconds pass by when, “I GOT IT!” I said as I hit me. Everyone looked at as if waiting for me to say it. “Wendy remember when they made us stand outside in the garage they have?” I asked her with bright eyes. “Yah?” she said not following me. “Well we can hide out there or we can highjack the car they have.” I said.
