3:00PM (Afternoon)

Charmaine was eating some cake while she spaced out in the distance.

"These days are peaceful again, but is it still over?" Charmaine thought.

"Excuse me?" Charmaine was surprised to see a group of three children heading towards her.

"Yes?" Charmaine replied with a smile

"Hi, sorry for the inconvenience. We're Ary, Mae, and Mona from the MC Academy. Do you have any thoughts on Zombe Myths? They say it happened five years ago, but they believed it was just a myth. We need it for a newspaper project. " The children asked.

"Of course, and to be more precise, it really happened, because I was with my best friends when we experienced it." Charmaine said with a sad look.

Woah! " Where are your best friends now? " The children asked.

"Shall I tell you the story of what happened?" Charmaine asked.

The children were excited and intrigued by what had happened. "Yes, please!"

Narrator: Charmaine started telling the children what happened five years ago.

"5 years ago, I had 2 best friends. Their names were Rina and Pearl. But they are gone now, and this is the reason.

Three best friends lived a peaceful life, until...

5:00AM -Morning-

*Ring Ring Ring* (Alarm Clock Rings)

Pearl woke up and turned off her alarm clock. She got up, got ready for school, and had breakfast. Pearl was waiting for the school bus, and finally the bus came. She boarded the bus, where she was greeted by her friends Rikka and Abril. They talked until the bus arrived at the school. The bus driver opened the door and Pearl, Rikka, and Abril were about to get off. Until the bus driver closes the door again.

The bus driver asked with a terrifying look: "What are those..." Pearl and her friends were confused. Until they saw people biting others in front of the school and turn into some sort of infected-looking monster. A bundle of infected humans saw them and ran towards them at a high speed. The bus driver immediately drove the bus, and the infected people chased the bus. The other students were screaming, "AHHHH! How are they moving so fast? " While the bus was moving, Abril was quivering and thinking aloud. "Don't they look like Zombez?" Pearl had the same thought of them being Zombez

So Pearl borrowed Rikka's phone, because she left her phone at home not knowing that this would happen. "Rikka, can I borrow your phone?" Pearl hurriedly asked. Rikka nodded, and took her phone out of her bag and handed it to Pearl. After researching for a while, Pearl began to research the information and symptoms of Zombez. She saw a site that has theories about Zombez. It states that water mixed with salt can harm the Zombez, causing them to melt and burn. Pearl thought she had to test it to see if it was true, so she asked the bus driver to go to a nearby mall. "Excuse me, sir, can we please go to a nearby mall? We can take things there for us to survive, and I found a theory on the internet and test if it can actually harm the Zombez. " The other students were shocked and scared to hear what Pearl said.

"Zombez? They do look like Zombez, but we still can't be too sure about this. After all, you said it was just a theory. The bus driver said this while being wary about the situation. Some students agreed with what the bus driver said. "I think it's better to test it out, and even if we're afraid of them, we need to do this for our own safety." Rikka said. The bus driver was still worried about this, but couldn't deny to the reason and agreed. Pearl also informed her other friends, Rina and Charmaine, of the situation. The school bus arrived at a nearby mall called MG Mall. The bus driver parked the school bus in the parking lot, the bus driver opened the door and everyone got off. They can still hear the screams outside, but they're trying to endure their fear. Suddenly, the electricity was gone and it had no signal.

"Eh, what happened? The electricity is gone, there's no signal! " The other students murmuredPearl turned on the flashlight on Rikka's phone and handed it to her. Hey, I'm going to explore this parking area to see if anyone is here. Will you join me? Rikka asked. "No thanks, but don't go too far and be careful," Pearl said. Rikka nodded and proceeded to explore the parking area. She then saw a sleeping person. Rikka was about to wake them up when the person woke up and bit her hand. Rikka screamed and requested help, "AHHHHH! Help! Please assist me, Pearl! ABRIL!" Pearl and Abril were shocked at what happened and couldn't move an inch. Many people were wary of helping her. Until they heard a snarl and saw Zombez running towards them. They all started running, and others got bitten while running. Pearl took Rikka's phone to gain light. Until someone grabbed her hand and looked behind her, it was Rikka.

"Pearl... be safe.. with Abril," Rikka said with a smile and slowly turning into a Zombe. Pearl shook Rikka's hand, "Sorry... we couldn't help you," Pearl said as she rushed to the entrance to the mall, while wiping her tears away.Pearl saw the entrance and the door was made out of glass. It was a good thing a fire extinguisher was beside it. Pearl took the fire extinguisher and smashed the door. She was about to get inside, but someone grabbed her shoulder and saw that it was Abril. "Abril, you're okay! Thank God! " Pearl said in relief. "Yes, now hurry! I think the Zombez heard you smash the door" Abril said, panicking. Pearl nodded and the two of them ran and headed to the market store. They turned around and saw a Zombe chasing them.

Pearl and Abril panicked and didn't know what to do until they saw a knife in front of the market store. They both had the same idea and took one of them. The Zombe was approaching...
