"Hurry up!" Ash screamed at Xander.
"Isn't there like a gun or firearm?" he asked, while looking at the closet filled with weapons.
"Take what you can get!" I yelled over my shoulder while walking slowly to open the door for the zombies.
I know what you are thinking. Don't let the zombie in you stupid idiot but Ash thought if we could open the doors and be prepared we had a better chance.
"Ready?" I called shakily over my shoulder.
"No..."Elizabeth muttered behind Katia. Katia rolled her eyes and pointed a gun at the door clasping onto the gun with both hands.
I took a deep breath, and grabbed the door handle. The handle shook from the zombies pounding on the door. It was a big wooden door so it would not have broken easily. I pulled it open and a spurge of zombies flew through the open door. One connected with my chest, which sent me taking shaky steps backwards. I bumped into Gaby, and she let out a loud ump. I fell onto the floor with the zombie on top of me. I put my left hand on the zombies shoulder and my other went instinctively into my boot to grab a knife. Only, one was not there.
"HELP!!!!"I screamed in an attempt to get someone to notice me.
I hit the zombie in the head with my fist until I throw it off me and see my knife laying on the floor at little farther away. I reached a shelf with a couple of hardback covered books. I grabbed one and whacked a zombie in the head.
"POWER OF KNOWLEDGE!" I screamed.
Elizabeth and Gaby stood back to back swinging baseball bats at the zombies head effectively bashing out the head of the zombies, while Katia shot zombies daring to walk near the rink. Xander stood near a bench swinging a metal baseball bat at the zombies, while Ash on the other side of the room shot at zombies with a pistol.
The zombies kept streaming in and we kept screaming every time we thought we were going to die and turn into a zombie.
Finally, less zombies streamed into the room. Finally, we were able to take a break and finally, the screaming was over.
"Okay, we should never do that again..."Katia said as she sat down in a chair.
"Why? It was fun!"Gaby said not in the least deterred by the zombies.
"Well I think we should try to avoid it whenever possible."Ash said with a serious look on his face. Everyone did not talk until Xander broke the silence.
"Well, we should see who is left..."Xander said and went through the door. Ash soon followed them, so that only Katia Gaby Elizabeth and I were in the room.
"What killed his vibe?"Gaby asked no one in general.
"This whole thing. Don't you get it Gaby..."Elizabeth said not wanting to tell Gaby.
"Well lets say he knew people here and not outside. So when big bad Z's come some of the people he knew are bound to not be around anymore and that killed his vibe."I explained to Gaby seeing Elizabeth's tension.
"I get that but he was leaving anyways. Well that's my opinion." Gaby replied as Katia stood silently.
"Well let's just go already."I said and guided Katia to the door.
I already knew what was bothering her. I mean if we brought up family or friends everyone is bound to get at least at little depressed. Ash is feeling that at the moment and when we took Katia away from her mom she didn't get to say bye to her dad. I had other things on my mind and my family wasn't of that much importance to me at the moment. I'm not a brat who hates her family, but even if I had stayed with them they wouldn't survive. I value my life a lot and that means I go where I think my safety will be best.
We make it all the way out into a hallway and spot Ash in a room looking blankly around at the objects. It would look like a regular teenagers room if it had not been underground. It had while walls with a couple of posters of random things from famous you-tubers to random quotes and pictures.
"It reminds me of my room..."Gaby said. I looked behind me to find Elizabeth but not Gaby. Elizabeth pointed at Gaby standing near the dresser on the back wall.
Ash had only noticed that Gaby was there, but he had no seen us. I decided to make use of that and moved the group on to find Xander.
"Lets go."I whispered and moved the group out of sight of Gaby and Ash.
We separated, and went down different hallways.

Katia's P.O.V:

I walked around through many corridors and found one with the door open. My feet hurt from walking to find Xander so I gave up a while ago and entered the room to rest my feet. Most of the doors were locked and this is one of the few that were not locked. I sat down on the bed, and looked around the room from the bed. I got up to inspect a pin I saw on the shelf of the far wall. I crossed the bed and bounced off. Being my clumsy self my hip hit the table which sent the lamp rolling off the table only to break into shards.
"W-Who....who's there?" I heard a voice behind me.
"Katia Marquez...? And who is in the closet?" I asked expecting an answer but getting nothing but silence.
I shrugged my shoulders and went to continue my inspection of the pin. I crossed over to the shelf reaching out to grab the pin. I heard a creak a bounce and a couple of thuds before I turned around and saw a boy behind me.
"AAH!" I screamed and hit my head on the shelf. The pin fell onto the floor and I bent down to pick it up.
"DON'T TOUCH THAT! Please." the boy yelled. He reached over me,grabbed the pin, and shoved it in his pocket.
"I want a name." I said firmly.
"Romeo." he mumbled.
"What?" I asked not hearing what he had said.
"ROMEO!" he shouted.
"OKAY!" I shouted back and moved to the side so I wasn't right in front of him. I thought about his name and remembered where I had heard it from. Kristina was always talking about Shakespeare and how great he was and all of his works that I immediately remembered Romeo and Juliet.
"Hey isn't your name from that-" I started.
"Yes, there is no Juliet. I don't know why my parents named me like that. Also, there will be no more further discussion on this subject if you don't mind. Now will you please direct me to Ash, if you know who that is." He concluded like he had rehearsed this before, which would make sense since almost everyone knows Shakespeare existed at one point.
"I know where he is. Follow me." I said suddenly feeling guilty. I walked out into the hallways through the door and started walking towards the room Gaby and Ash last occupied.
