"486 Days In"

Chapter 2: With Death, Comes Sin

It was a normal start to my day, wake up at 8.00AM, go for a quick shower, eat a bowl of Frosties that were about 89p from Aldi and catch up on the previous nights TV shows.

Freddie, my dorm friend would have already left by the time I got out the shower, he was a proper little geek inside but on the outside, he had the girls lining up for him..

It was around 11.00AM now, time to leave for Drama class. I left my dorm, shutting the door behind me when a girl charged at me screaming.

"Please help me, my roommate just tried to bite me!" She screamed at me, particles of spit flying at my face

"Woah calm down, I'm sure she didn't just try and bite you.. Maybe you need sleep girl, Now I need to g-" I was quickly cut off by her desperation for help..

"Fuck off man! I know what had just happened to me!" The innocence in her voice was kind of soothing, but did not at all fit the situation I was in.

Just as I was about to calm her down, the blood stained girl ran around the corner, as she scowled in our direction and begin charging at us. The girl who had previously been terrified grabbed my arm firmly and began dragging me to the stairs. We opened the door to the stairwell and ran down them the crazy bitch still tailing behind us. Reaching the bottom we ran through the door, as a familiar face of Freddie appearing.

"Duck!" He shouted, without hesitation we did. As the crazy bitch run through the bottom door she was smacked clean around the face with a fire extinguisher. Blood flew off her face as she smacked the floor. Thick blood started surrounding her, I was in utter shock, I stood frozen. Before I could say anything i was spun around and Freddie stood in panic looking at me with fear in his eyes.

"Fuck, Mavrin these things are everywhere.. Why didn't you pick up my calls?" Freddie said, his time calm but I could tell inside he wasn't..

"I was uh.. In the shower I.." I stopped mid sentence as a scream intercepted my speech. In panic I spun around to the noise and the girl from before was standing still as one more of those things drew closer. On closer inspection, I noticed it was Mr.Lopert, my Drama Teacher. He was twitching, flaring his blood stained teeth at the girl. I charged over and stood infront of the girl, trying to converse with the madman.

"Sir, calm down, are you okay?" I said holding out my arms, taking slow steps back. All I got in response was a few growls and moans, I stared at him before the teacher I so longed to become charged towards me. He slammed me down, and began snapping his teeth at me. I was pushing against his force, before the same, life saving extinguisher was smacked against the head of my old teacher. I scrambled up and looked at Freddie, confused to why he was killing these crazy infested people so easily.

"Why are you killing them?! They obviously just...need medical care or something!" I said this growing further from Freddie

"They're already dead dude, its like an infection or something, we need t-" Before Freddie could finish his sentence, the receptionist jumped on his back, and sunk her teeth into his neck. She began tearing at Freddie's neck, ripping chunks out, his blood spraying all over the place. The girl let out screams of panic, I stood frozen listening to Freddie's screams of pain. A few moments later he dropped to the floor, laying in his own pool of blood. The receptionist stood up and limped over to the girl. In panic, I grabbed the extinguisher from Freddie's corpse and smacked the receptionist down, continually hitting her. The woman's blood slapping against my tight, white shirt and black skinnies. I stopped before collapsing at the bodies, before the girl I just murdered for joined me.

"I'm Devlin" she said looking at the corpses in front of us. I looked at her, grabbing a full look at her features. She looked so innocent, her soft hair fallen on her face due to the running we both faced.

"Mavrin.." I said, still processing what had just happened in front of me. I stood up, and so did Devlin. Also Freddie got up, I looked at him, sheer panic filling me and Devlin. I held the extinguisher firmly, as he sniffed the air toward us. Something wasn't right, how was he still alive, this was crazy.. All these thoughts flushed over me, but before I could think anymore, Freddie sprinted toward us, chunks of flesh missing from his neck, along with peels off it still hanging from him. I grabbed Devlin and ran behind us. We went out the fire exit, sounding the alarm. We continued to run, before stopping at the streets corner. People were screaming, running from others, people smashing in heads of these other people. We were stopped by a small, ford pulling up to us, as the figure in leant over, and opened the door for us. She looked at us and scanned me over, before looking at Devlin.

"Devlin, get in!" The girl in the car said, as she looked me over once more.

"Maxine! Oh my god am I glad to see you!" She got in the car, leaving me by the corner of the street, some distant moans came from behind as the girl known as Maxine called at me

"You, man with the blood stained shirt, get in before you become an all you can eat buffet!" She screamed at me, without hesitation I hopped in the back of the car, still gripping my trusty extinguisher. Maxine stepped on the gas, as we sped off down the street, passing the rows of cannibals and screaming people...
