the bus swerved, almost tipping us. ladies were screaming and babies crying.

the infected man was moaning and trying to stand. a woman frecked out, "we have to help him!!" she ran over and helped the man up.

"noo!!!" i screamed, she let go of the man, her hands were covered in goo, they were slowly freezing.

"w-whats happening!" she looked at her hands witch were now purple.

"dont touch the infected!" i yelled and jumped from the seat. i slowly made my way up the back of the bus. i grabbed a bunch of hands and took them near the front were the rest of the people were standing.

"whats gonna happen..." the man jumped on her, screaming filled the bus.

i quickly pulled out one of the emergancy blankets from th overhead compartment and handed it to jeremy.

"here, dont let them seewhats happening, put it up like a curtain". i was taking direction today.

jeremy nodded and did just that. i looked back at the man, he was slowly eating away at the woman.

i suddenly felt sick and faint. i took a swig from my drink bottle and focused.

so what to do now..... thank god i read all them zombie apocolypse books.

'get the infected away from the healthy' i listened to my head, "jeremy!, we need to get theese people away and out of the bus".

"ok but how?", "ask the diriver to pull over, and we'll have to burn the bus, its the only way".

he sighed and nodded. jeremy made his way to the driver........ "uh jade?".

"what", i was quiet for a bit. "thats going to be a problem".

"why?" i made my way over to the driver. jeremy moved out of the way. i gaged at the sight.

the driver was dead, his body decaying and smelt of thousend year old flesh.

'shit jade, you need to get every obe off the bus now, or the stench will reach the others, they'll probley freck out and try and escape. even though that sounds good, the infected react to movement and feed on fear'.

jeremy, brake the emergancy window ok" . "k" he was speachless. i went over to the others and stiod under the curtain with them.

"whats happening" a woman said. "its the virus, it infects people and they turn in to mindless zombies. but its weird cause the infected people are complaining about there scars hurting". i said.

"so what do we do?" i sighed, "once jeremy brakes the glass you all need to run,theese zombies react to movement, i dont mean to scare anyone but....... please dont panic if you get caught or touch the infected ones".

whispers spread around the small space. "jeremy in 3, 2; 1"

SMASH!! "run!!!!" i pulled off one of the metal railings from the seats. a wepon.

the others started to run, i waited in there and helped people get out, "help!" someone screamed. i looked around quickly and saw a young woman caught on a nail. shit.

the infected man made his way over to the lady. i ran over to her and tryed to unhook her dress from the nail. "look out!" she screamed in my ear.

i turned around and smashed the guy in the tempal with my wepon. loose flesh was hunging from his head.

i gaged again and tryed to forget about it. i finaly unhooked the woman and helped her out the window.

jeremy called me, "jade! get out now" , i couldnt leave yet......i had to distroy this bus. " no not yet, get every one away! im gonna set the bus on fire!"

"are you insane!" i smiled, "no! its the only way to get rid of these creatures, to burn them so no one else gets hurt".

i heard nothing from him. i ran over to the compartment under the floor were they kept the extra fuel.

i pulled out one of the containers, this wil do.

i opened the cap and started pouring fuel everywere. the guy was quiet and lying on the floor shaking. i looked at the woman who was moving around moaning, i didnt even want to look at the driver.

after i emptyed the container i threw it to the ground, i leaned out the window, trying not to touch the flesh lying around.

"has anyone got matches or a lighter?" i man called out, "i have a lighter! here" he through me the lighter.

"thanks" i went back inside. 'jade dont throw the lighter away....keep it, youll need it'.

i flicked the lighter on and held it to a pice of fabric. it quickly caught alight i through it on the ground and jumped out the window.

i ran, ran fast to the group who were about 100 meters away. i made it, but out of breath.

"jade, thank god your safe!" it was jeremy. i fell to the ground, i felt strong arms picking me up, craddeling me.

"geeze i've never loved the smell of fresh air until now". people were laughing.

"we need to go, who knows what might happen next" someone said. they were right. i opened my eyes and saw jeremy above me. "thanks" i said as he put me down.

with that we were off. i had forgotten about the hospial trip, i was to tired already. poor holly.

everyone stopped, there were sirens and trucks coming. they zoomed past us followed by police cars.

one of the cars pulled over. a police hoped out and made his way over to us. "are you folks ok?" i stood in front.

"yea, the virus had affected someone on the bus, in total we lost 3 people". befire i could finish someone butted in.

"thanks to her were all safe! she set the bus on fire, she helped us all escape, shes a hero!"

the police looked over at the flaming bus in the distance. "well thank you, you really are a hero". i smiled, "whats your name young one?"

"jade, but this guy also helped me his names jeremy". i looked at him, his head shoot up at the sound of his name, he stepped foward.

"well you to have done great, now do you want me to call a pick up for you?".

"yes please...." the officer nodded and walked off. i looked atthe crowd of people i had saved. i heard a choking noise.

the people quickly moved away from the noise, leaving a woman lying on the ground.

"back away!" i slowly made my way up to the woman, i stopped, she was turning purple in the face.

what was happening, i looked at her throat witch was small and was being squeezed.

her hands were fisting the ground, her neck was wrinkely and tight. i felt a tear in my eye when i reilised it was the woman i helped back at the bus, her small work dress was starting to turn red with blood.

the police came running over, "get away! move" he stood beside me, "what happened?"

i was silent for a few minutes, holding back my tears i begun to speck.

"the virus,it got to her, the fumes from the infected were highly toxic and carried the virus in rhe air. its to late fir her".

i pulled out the lighter, "what are you doing?" the police said.

"burning them is the only way" i walked over to a tree and broke off a branch.

i held the lighter up to the wood, it quickly caught alight, i threw it at the woman. her body was motionless.

the smell of burning flesh started to fill the air.

'RIP'
