She lay there in bed without a care in the world, bathed in the bliss that the softness of her duvet brought her.

Then the smell of smoke and decay awoke her to today's reality.

Her heart stopped for a moment when she saw she was amongst a bunch of bodies. Soon after, the realisation hit, that she only had mere seconds before they became shells of what they once were. Short of being 'alive'.

What was she going to do?

Just hours before these people had been her classmates, and the classroom had been the one place she could escape to. University was a sanctuary, and now it was nothing more than a graveyard.

Footsteps could be heard in the almost deafening silence. They echoed about the walls, as someone came closer to where she was, still frozen to the spot.

Her pulse quickened and drowned out all sounds, save for her heartbeat and the sound of the person drawing ever nearer. Instantly, she knew that this person couldn't be one of those things; the footsteps were too... normal.

First, she saw military boots, and then she noticed a gloved hand; they were offering to help her up. After that, she saw their face, and recognition dawned on her. This person was someone well-known in the university.

He was in a group known as BTS, and they were all popular amongst her peers. Namjoon, aka RM, was the leader, and Amara had taken an immediate liking to him. Now he was in front of her, and her heart was beating rapidly for a totally different reason.

Overcoming her thoughts, she hastily got to her feet with his aid. Silently, she thanked him with a nod.

Behind him, she saw his friends. They were signalling them both to hurry up, so they could all get out of there. And she was happy to be out of the room, that was now the final resting place for the students.

Namjoon offered her to join them and so she did.

Together they will survive.
