My head felt really light, my throat was dry and I felt like throwing up. I really didn't want Ben to see my crying like a baby.

I felt a ferm hand rubbing my back to comfort me.

"Alex. Are you ok? Ya know, I'm scared too. You don't have to hide it from me. Remember what I said 'as long as we're together we're going to be safe' I meant that. I know you're the weak geeky type so I'll protect you from any harm. I promise"
Ben smiled and stood up. He held his hand down to me to help me stand up.

I took his hand and stood up wiping my tears away. I noticed something a little odd, my hand. Ben was still holding it. I looked down and looked back at Ben with a questioning face. Ben smiled a kind smile and held my hand slightly tighter.

"Ben. What ar-" I got cut off by Ben.
"Oh Alex," he looked straight into my eyes and he gently held my chin while still holding my hand
"You're blushing ya know? You're not falling for me are you?" Ben started to grin like a idiot. I playfully jerked my hand out of his and I shoved him.

"Psh. You wish bro. I fall for no one... except for me, cuz sometimes I trip"
Ben stopped in his tracks. He started moving towards the window and held his head next to the window. I didn't know what he was doing but it seemed important.

"Alex? Do you hear that? I think someone is getting killed out there.... a lady" Ben had a worried look in his face. I walked over to the window to listen too.
I heard a lady screaming bloody murder. When I listened even closer, I heard that same growling I heard at the park.

I looked to Ben and asked with a shaky voice
"Is that the same one from the park?"
Ben looked at me and said with a straight voice "No. I doubt it. Remember the growl sounded a bit more different. It was a woman growl. This one sounds more like a ma-"

Ben was cut off but a door being slammed wide open.
It was another one of those monsters. A male one. He looked like the man from the park that beat the lady. His leg looked shredded up, he was missing a hand, his eyes... his horrible eyes they looked dead and his skin was pail and he was covered in blood.

The monster attacked a student standing closest to the door. It was a snobby girl named Kennedy Lazlo. Her cries filled the room as the man ripped open her stomach.

One of her best friends creamed and started crying.
The teacher yelled loud enough for everyone to hear her
"Everyone please follow me! We must leave the classroom and head down to the auditorium! the steel doors shouldn't let anything or anyone in"

I was frozen in place, horrified of what I had just seen. It all just happened too quickly before anyone could even come close to save her. That scene just kept repeating itself in my head. My eyes started to water up as I watched the monster continue eating the insides of Kennedy.

Ben shook my arm to wake me from my thoughts. I still couldn't move though. It was like my shoes were glued to the floor or something. Ben firmly grabbed my hand and lead me to the auditorium.
When we got there, it was locked.
I knew for a fact, there was messed up sounding footsteps coming our way and there were more than one.
