Love and Rot

Chapter 1

            "I love you Rex." Jessica said to me as our lips met. I feel the soft touch of them for a moment before a loud rush of noise invades the air. I start to look around quickly wondering what is happening.

"Hey what is that noise?"

"What noise?" Jessica innocently replied. I looked back at her and see her face starting to rot my worst nightmare come true. I touch my lip seeing it gushing blood, as I do so Jessica smiles and I see my lower lip start to hang from her teeth. She then rushes at me, starts to eat my neck I only felt the pain for a moment when I woke up to the familiar sound of moaning outside the door. I manage to hide in the Janitor's closet before they got to me.

"I guess they lost interest in me." I say as I observe my surrounding. I see a variety of cleaning agents on the metal shelves next to me. I stand up and observe the mop.

'I can use that as a spear for now.' I thought to myself. I take the head of the mop and break it off leaving a splintered spiked end. *Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhh* I jumped as the entire building shook. The light bulb started to say and something glinted as it did. I look behind the bleach to see a lighter, some cigarettes, and a half full beer bottle. I start to move more and more of the chemicals to several empty bottles of beer.

"I can fill these with some bleach and chlorine and make some Molotov's." I say guiding myself through my escape plan. I start to fill the bottles with chemicals and shoving rags in them. After about three minutes of having to hold my breath I finally make about five Molotov's. I then prepare my spear and open the door, thankfully most of them wondered off and there was only a few. I charge at one of them and pin what was a man to the wall as I start to maneuver around the others. I duck as a once young teen girl swipes at me with its arm that had been gnawed at before it was turned. I run a few paces before turning around and look at the once was young teen.

"Poor Rene." I say solemnly as I briefly observe it, it is wearing a pair of now more torn pants, a now shredded t-shirt of a cat on the front of it, its hair blue highlighted black hair now gradually falling out due to the rot. I turn around and start to heading toward the math hallway of the school looking from room to room searching for Jessica, my girlfriend.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

I whip my head to the left as I hear a female scream her head off. Not moments later I see her running from right to left away from three of them. I rush over ready to help but start to slow down realizing how stupid I just was for going into battle without a weapon. I start to turn around when I see a previously used Bat to my left. I went to grab it from its previous owner's body when I noticed it started to move.

"Ahhhhhh, crap!" I yelp as I start to stomp it in the face. I start to pace back and forth calming my nerves. After a moment I calmed down and grabbed the Bat. I then hear the scream again but from a much farther distance. I start to run over to where I thought the location of the girl was. I walk pass the cafeteria and see three of them start to slowly corner the helpless girl.

"HEY, OVER HERE YOU FREAKS YOU ME COME AND GET ME!!!!" I yell attempting to provoke them away from her. They start to slowly turn around and move towards me.

"Get out of here, I'll take care of them!" I shouted at the girl snapping her out of shock.

As they approached me I quickly strafed to my right and went to the side of them and swung the bat knock one of them over. I then stomped on its head killing it. I didn't realize how close the others were as I look up to see one of them start to grab me. I stumble backwards and took a wild swing hitting it away for the moment. I then sprinted to the other and used my leg to sweep its legs and making it fall. I use my bat and smash its head, unfortunately blood splattered and got on my clothes and face. I quickly turned as the last one that I fended off for a moment was right on top of me making me fall over and I was struggling to keep it from biting me. I then see its head stop and start to bleed from the sides of the head. I push it off me to see the girl that I saved earlier there with blood on her now what use to be white skirt.
