Current location: Science room - Ladysmith High School

9:04 am

So we didn't even get down the hallway. It was chaos, those things were everywhere... There was so much blood. It was like a horror movie.

But somehow I'm still alive

John held his body against the door as a barricade. "Well that's out of the plan!"

I dragged a nearby filing cabinet in front of the door. "I just saw one of those things rip apart the math teacher!" I exclaimed in disgust as I looked around the room. It was the science room. The counters that lined up the walls were covered with scientific utensils and vials of different fluids. On one of the walls was a window which gave you a view of the playground. John approached the window.

"I'm going to break it!" John said as he hit the glass with the butt of the tennis racket but it didn't crack.

"Reinforced glass..." I said in a low tone.

Why would a school have reinforced glass for windows?

John kicked the wall and cursed out loud "were all going to fucking die! aren't we?" He looked at me.

"We're getting out here" I said even though deep down I knew it's not very likely.

Suddenly there was a beeping sound from behind us.

"What's that?" john asked

We followed the sound and found the sources.

"Combat supply attache case?" John said, looking at the 2 green metal attache cases. In big bold letters was the name "Noir Corp"

"What is it?" John asked. I knew what it was...

"Weapons..." I said to john. John's eye's glowed with excitement.

John crouched down and tried opening it.

"It's one of those fingerprint locks," he said angrily. Out of curiosity I pressed my finger against the first lock...

Beep

"Access granted Mr king have a nice day" a mechanical feminine voice said

"What?!" john said confused

"Maybe this was meant for me?" i said confused

I opened the first attache case and inside were 2 glock 9mm glocks with 20 clips. John grabbed one of the glocks.

"Noir?" John said confused as he read the name on the glock.

"These are military Glocks," I explained to him. I grabbed the other glock. I loaded the glock and turned the safety off. And John loaded his glock and turned the safety off too.

"Looks like we have a chance of getting the hell out of here '' I said with joy.

"What's in the other one?" John asked.

I pressed my finger against the second one

Beep

Beep

Beep

"Access denied"

"What?" I said, confused.

"Maybe?" john said as he pressed his finger against the lock

Beep

"Access granted Mr Booker have a nice day"

John opened the case and inside were; 2 Kevlar vests, 2 combat knives, 2 9mm glocks and knife holsters, and a med kit.

"This is freaky cool!" John said as he grabbed a Kevlar vest.

We put on the vests, glock holsters and knife holsters.

"You ready?" I asked him and he nodded as we approached the door and removed the filing cabinet.

As soon as John opened the door one of those things lunged at me. I shot the darn thing as soon as I saw it.

Bang

Bang

Bang

Bang

It crumbled to the ground like a sack of potatoes. It spasmed for a couple of seconds before going limp. i got a good look at its body... i'm pretty sure it was Aron Herman but i couldn't because most his flesh was torn and hanging off him face showing scales...  We ran past the corpse and into the hallway. Now most of the things were gone leaving a trail of gore and guts. Only a few stragglers stayed behind. Some were trying to open doors, others eating corpses.

"Behind you!" John shouted. I pulled out my knife and spun around in time to stab the undead in the neck. It fell dead again.

"We need to get to the office and call for help," I said as I started to walk away, keeping my glock aimed at the distracted undead who were worried about getting into the classrooms.

"Okay, let's go!" John as we started to run down the hallway running past the undead.

Maybe this nightmare is about to end...
