Flesh and Bones

Chapter 1

"Get down" A familar voice in my head said.

"Oi Ben"Gabby whispered hitting me across the back of my head.

"What? I was asleep" I said pulling my pencil case closer and resting my head on it, shutting my eyes.

"What the fuck Ben! Cant you hear the banging outside!" She pulled me down off my chair making me hit my head on the side of the table behind us.

She pointed to the windows. As i rubbed my head from the impact, i slowly peered over the side of the table, following her finger to where it was pointing.

The windows are filled with many hands. The hands belong to things that have to be humans, but they dont look it. They look unhuman, they look like Zombies.

"Oh shit!" I said under my breath sitting back down on the floor next to Gabby.

"What are they?" She asked with a worried look.

I racked my brain for answers. As if i didnt know when i first saw them. From all of the shows I watch i should've known.

"They're Zombies." I told her. Her face shocked, then her eyebrows furrowed.

"We have to go find Nesh, Caitlin, Chloe, Josh, Connor and everyone else we know." Her face turned from shocked to panicked.

"And how do you plan on doing that genius?" My voice quieter.

"Oh I don't know, maybe go out there and find them!" Her voice more like a yell than a whisper.

"Shh" I put my finger out to her.

"Don't tell me to shh!" She said angrily.

"Gabby! Shut.the.hell.up for a sec!" I told her in a whispery yell.

"Hmm" Gabby murmured something under her breath while she crossed her arms to her chest. I was to concentrated on what was going on to care about her whining.

"Doesn't it seem a bit to quiet to you?." I asked Gabby slowly getting up from the floor.

Our heads slowly peered over the side of the tables in sync.

"Where the hell is everyone?" She asked searching underneath every table.

I look out the window to find nothing outside at all, from what I could see, there was nothing or no one. How could they have gone that fast? I thought out loud and how could we not have noticed them leave?

We stand in silence for a while, trying to process everything that is going on. We gathered our thoughts and started to make a plan, we decided that we should get as much supplies as we could in here and go find our friends, the only problem is that there is nothing we can use to protect ourselves just in case we have a small encounter with those things outside.

We search through everyone's pencil cases to find only small things. The only useful things we could find was probably just scissors. I scanned the room one more time to realize that there was a little storage room at the back of the classroom that connects this one to the next. I signaled Gabby over and told her what I was thinking, maybe there would be something useful in there that could help us.

We tried to open the door but it was locked. We scanned the room to see if there is anything that could help us open this locked door. Luckily, on the teachers desk there was a long chain with multiple keys on the end. Gabby chucked the chain over to me and I caught it in my right hand, it was a decent throw. The name tag read that they were Mrs Harman's keys. She was a good soul, she wasn't young but she wasn't old either, she was probably in her mid 40's, I remember she telling us that she was wanting to retire after 20 years which would be soon because she had basically been teaching for that long anyway.

I tried every key on the chain until the last one. It was just like any other key, not that interesting. I put it in the slot and gave it a small turn. Click. The door unlocked.

I casually openned the door when suddenly, a strong hand gripped onto my ankle. I stumbled backwards slamming my body onto the floor.

"GABBY!" I yelled kicking the monster in the face trying to losen its grip.

It moaned while pulling me closer, its face rotten with peices of skin rotton off of its face.

I looked over at Gabby, she stood there in shock, I yelled at her one more time and she snapped back into reality. She ran over to the table and grapped a pair of scissors, she ran towards me holding the pair of scissors out, with the cutting end facing the floor.

She ran over to me and started stabbing the zombie in the head.

She said between stabs "Bitch. Dont. Eat. My. Friends"

She did one more final stab and the Zombies moans stopped and its grip losened.

"I owe you one." I told her. "We need to find them, grab scissors and follow me."

We grabbed as much as we could and headed out the classroom door.
