Carmin gasped  as she heard the sound of breaking glass . There was something going on in the front of the bus , but everyone was standing up and she couldn’t see over them , so she couldn’t see what was happening . Carmin grabbed her head , the sound of gun fire unbearable . the sound was so horrifyingly loud , it made her head want to explode . Carmin knew that the gunmen weren’t supposed to fire in the buses , for fear of hitting someone human , but in times of emergency there was no choice . The gunman that was sitting behind Carmin instinctively switched his gun from pointing out the window and toward the front of the bus . Carmin ducked under her seat and looked around on the floor of the bus , hoping to spot a cause of all the chaos . All she could really see was feet and bags , but she caught a glimpse of something grey . It was an ugly , familiar grey . Then she remembered where she had seen it before . The beasts .

Carmin sprang up from the ground and looked for the group of small children . They were a few seats ahead , but Carmin couldn’t see any of them . She looked over her shoulder at Blake and all the other kids . Blake was sitting up straight and reaching into his backpack for one of his many guns . The other kids were climbing over the seats to the front of the bus , anxious to see what was going on . Carmin pulled a pistol from her backpack and made sure the safety was on before doing the same . She  jumped over the seat , and was shocked when she saw what was really going on .

In the front of the bus , a creature was biting the bus driver , Mrs. Herts. There was a little kid knocking the monster on the back of the head with a rusty lunch box , but to no avail . Each time the boy hit it on the head , the creature just chomped down harder on Mrs.Herts’s arm . There a few other monsters here and there , but they mostly looked like 5 year old children . The people around were keeping them at bay with there backpacks , which were getting torn to shreds . They wouldn’t last much longer . Carmin gritted her teeth as a creature tried to bite at her arm . Carmin swung the gun around , nailing the monster in the back of it’s head . It yelped in pain , but didn’t fall to the ground . It was small , but it was surprisingly strong . It snapped at her leg , but Carmin lifted her knee and caught it in the chinb . there was a sound like a breaking egg and the monster fell to the ground , blood gushing out of it’s mouth . Carmin knew it wasn’t dead , just dazed , but she had no time to for it . She ran to Mrs.Herts side and pushed thelittle boy aside . She bashed the butt of the gun into the monsters head . It crumpled to the ground , dead . Mrs.Herts sat there , stunned , her eyes darting between the monster and Carmin . Then her head snapped backwards and she shrieked with pain as her head started to break open .
