The group emerged from the house, the chaos from inside spilling out onto the college campus. The once familiar surroundings now felt like a nightmare as infected students roamed the grounds, their vacant eyes and aggressive snarls a stark contrast to the normalcy that once was.
Will led the way, zigzagging through the front lawn and into the main campus, past seas of college students with ease and clearing a path for the others. It seemed enlisting straight out of high school had proven more useful than just for the scholarship Will had done it for.
Vince was close behind, still dragging the quiet kid along with him for no real reason. Tiff and her friend were behind the two as well, aimlessly following the group with nowhere else to go as long as it was far away from that party.
"Why are we heading to the dorms!? We need to get the fuck out of here!" Tiff yelled from the back of the group, frantically dragging her friend along with her.
"I need to get something! If you want to get out of here, then just trust me!" Will yelled from up front as he made his way to the main hall and stopped at the scene in front of him. The chaos within was much greater than what they had witnessed back at the party.
Infected students, roamed the hall with a terrifying hunger. Their movements were erratic and disjointed, their once familiar faces twisted into grotesque masks of rage and despair. They lunged at anyone in their path, their mouths dripping with froth and blood, emitting guttural snarls and incoherent screams.
The air was thick with the scent of fear, sweat, and the metallic tang of blood. Shattered glass crunched underfoot, mingling with discarded books, bags, and personal belongings strewn haphazardly across the marble floor. The walls were splattered with dark splotches of blood, and handprints smeared in a desperate attempt to escape. Piercing screams and cries for help echoed off the vaulted ceilings, blending with the cacophony of shouts, pleas, and the sickening sounds of flesh being torn and bones crunching.
A young girl, her face pale with terror, was desperately dragging herself across the cold marble floor towards the grand main doors of the college hall. Her fingers clawed at the ground, leaving streaks of blood as she pulled herself forward, leaving a gruesome trail behind her.
Vince knew the girl, she was nice to him in the hallways, always welcoming him and others with a 'good morning' while getting to class. The scene in front of him was far from the cheerful memories he had of her.
Her once vibrant and colorful clothes were now tattered and soaked in blood, her blonde hair matted against her sweat-drenched forehead. The glint of fear in her eyes was unmistakable as she screamed, her voice hoarse and choked with agony.
"Come on you can make it!" Will yelled, holding a hand out for the girl along with Vince, desperately trying to save another life from the violence ensuing around them as the girl had managed to get back on her feet.
