What To Do During The End?

Chapter 2 Why Did We Go Up

It took me another few minutes to think about what is happening, people die… and then come back to eat more people. Yeah sounds crazy right, but it is the start of the end of the world as we know it. I started to climb back up the balcony as the one I’m on. You can’t get through the door as it was broke, Katy knows that. That is why she was on the level above me so I pull myself up to her level. “Were do we go, what do we do now with all of this?” Katy asked.

“We have to try and get inside to the main block and work our way to the library we can hold up there as you can only get there, by the small staircase.” I said back. I don’t know why I came up with that idea I had no clue in what I was doing I just wanted to stay on my little balcony till someone came to stop all of the dead walking around. NO! I can’t think like that I have to be strong for Katy. She is asking me what we both have to do to save us. Not just sit here and wait, we have to make the first move. But that that did not last long well, at least till the helicopter came crashing down on the next building. “What the Hell Was that?”

Katy looked around and yelled “Shit over there a police chopper just crashed in to the History block”

“Quick we have got to go and check that out to see if everyone is ok” I said with an angry tone

“But what. How are we going to get there, as the dead are walking everywhere” Katy answered.

So I jumped back down to my balcony and picked up a couple of long iron poles, a bit rusty and their heavy. But will do. I have used them to fight of the dicks in my class before, as they like to bring knifes to a fist fight. But I get that part of life is going to be over now all the school days that were fun or boring. This school will never work normally again. Well I just have to push that out of my mind now and think about how to survive! “Here these will work in our favour, but just try not to get too close to any of them as we know nothing yet” I said as I handed one of the pole to Katy.

“Ok let’s go” I said as we started walking down to the catwalk from the science block to the history block.

We got on to the catwalk fine there was no one around we just kept quiet and our heads down. But halfway along the catwalk, mister Jenson was standing still not even bothering to turn around to us. I yelled over to him “Sir we have got to move as there are bad people running around attacking the school.” He turned around to us now and started walking towards us. He pulled his arms up and directed them at us. That is when you can see the bite mark on his right arm. He has turned in to one of them. “Shit he is one of the undead people look at his arm” I yelled.

Katy yelled at him “Don’t come any closer or I will hit you sir. Just don’t ok!” He did not stop he kept walking, he was close now. “You made me do this.” She said again. At which point she aimed the pole at his heart and stabbed him in the chest. It must have been a powerful stab as his skin reacted a bit. But he moved as if it meant nothing to him… Clawing his way at the pole trying to get to Katy, he would not even stop even after that attack to his heart. I yelled to Katy “It must be like the movies…  AIM FOR THE HEAD.” At which point I ran to the side of the teacher and swung the pole as hard as I could at his head. It hit! I could see some blood and brain matter fly out, as if the world had slowed down. I just attacked and killed a man. Well not a man but the undead. So it did not affect me much or at least I thought so. I looked at Katy who I extended my hand out to help her up. “Come on lazy lets go we have got to move quickly” She smiled and pulled out the pole from Mr Jenson’s heart.

“Let’s hurry up and get there” she said back. So we started to run down the other side of the catwalk and straight to the fire escape stairs to get to the top of the roof on the History block.

We finally made it. There was another one of them on the stair case on the way up I did not know who she was before this, but Katy said she was a girl in a lower class. When we got up to the top of the building. We could see how bad the helicopter was, there was no chance that anyone would get out of there alive. But we said nothing and tried to look to see if we could help. In the end we helped ourselves mostly. “Hell Katy look at this” I pulled out a policeman’s revolver. The standard side arm for the cops in this area. I pulled it off of the dead man without thinking twice. “We better look to see if there are any other guns or we will get over whelmed like in the movies” I went back to look again and there was an army solider. I’m not sure why he was in there but he must have been helping the police or the other way round. I thought it was strange though as he had a climbing pick on him. Ooo for those that don’t know army men and climbers carry a climbing pick to dig in to ice or on rock edges to pull themselves up. It helps hold ledges that hands don’t fit on or makes your arm a little longer. “Look this could be good at killing a few of those things when I stick it in their heads” I smiled as I said it. It might not have been the best facial expression. I also took the belt that came with it so I can put it away on my lower back when I’m not using it. Which seemed to fit me great once I put it on.

“Hey I found another gun here but it looks a little buggered!” Katy turned and said. She was right. The whole of the barrel was bent sideways, must have been the soldier’s that got broke on the way down.

“Wait. Pull the magazine out before you chuck it to check if that is ok.” I said back. I kind know how the gun worked because well I used to play games with them in a lot. As I really had nothing to do all the time other then watch anime and play games. She pressed the button and pulled the magazine out. “Throw it over here quick” It was a .45 auto magazine, the standard side arm for the American troops. So it looks like I was right that was the soldier’s.

Katy spoke again “And I found a combat knife it looks like, do you want it as I’m no good with knifes. Shoot. I’m better at throwing thing.” I took the knife from her hands and attached the sheath to my belt. She was right a standard army knife. It was heavy but I thought to myself this is the right time to have a knife in a gun fight. I would be quick and quiet.

We looked a little more in the chopper; all of the people were dead. And I hope they stay that way. But we looked and fond some more stuff. A box of 32. Calibre rounds that go with the policeman’s sidearm and some random 9 millimetre rounds. We put all of the stuff that we did not have on a belt or in our hands into the satchel bag that Katy all ways had on her. I had never known what she carried in that thing, but I know that I have to keep it safe as it has our ammo in it. I don’t know why we came up here for other than helping someone we know won’t be ok. But it is a good thing as we now have a gun and I have weapons to fight with. WE might be a little better off. Till I heard more screams from the main block. I recognised the voice. I think it is someone I know!
