3 | Finding An Exit

Guttural moans echoed throughout the near-empty hallway they stood in and seemed to reach the furthest parts of the university. The stench of blood only worsened, as the things got closer to breaking down the doors. It paralysed the group of youths at the scene that was playing out before their very eyes, and none of them knew what to do in this situation.

"Has anyone tried another exit?" Amara spoke up. "Are they all blocked?"

"There must be one," Jhope replied. He grasped the bat he was holding in his hand tighter - his knuckles turning white as he did so.

"Yeah... This university isn't exactly small," Jimin was the next to speak. "There must be some way of getting out."

"Ok! Why don't we all split up?" the youngest member, Jungkook suggested.

"Are you crazy?!" That was Suga. "Have you seen any horror movies? Do you want to get killed? Because that's how you get killed."

Jungkook looked like he was going to argue back, but Taehyung placed a calming hand on his shoulder. Then he pushed the younger male behind him.

"Look, arguing isn't going to get us anywhere," Taehyung reasoned with the group, then he turned back to Jungkook. "Suga's right, Kook. If we split up, there's more chance of one of us getting attacked by one of those... those things."

He gestured towards the things that were almost through the doors.

"Ok, so we'll all go as a group," Jin said. "And no more arguments!"

"Also, can we stop calling them things?" Amara said with a look of annoyance. "They're quite clearly zombies." She rolled her eyes and looked in disgust at the zombies.

"Yeah, they're not human anymore," Jimin agreed with her.

"Now that, that's settled, let's go look for an exit." Namjoon donned his leader's facade and started giving the group orders:

"Jimin and Jhope, you walk behind us. You'll be our eyes and ears from there." The aforementioned males exchanged a glance and then got into position.

"Taehyung, you on the right and Jungkook, you'll go to the left; you'll keep a watch on the sides. Suga and Jin, you'll be in the front. If any dangers are lurking there, we'll know."

"And Amara..." He squeezed her hand, that she forgot he was still holding; at this moment, she was glad that the mask covered her burning cheeks. Now isn't the time Amara. "You'll stay in the middle with me." He smiled, revealing his dimples, and then drew her closer to him.

"Alright, members of Bts!" He raised his voice, in an attempt to lift everyone's spirits. "We'll find this exit, then we'll get the hell out of here!"

"Yeah!" the other members and Amara chorused.

Crash!

Their cries of excitement were drowned out by the sound of something breaking. They all slowly turned on their heels and froze once more at what they saw.

The large doors that kept the zombies out had been torn from the hinges, and they laid haphazardly on the ground. Shattered glass sprinkled the ground like crystals; only these weren't ones they would want to admire these only made the despair they felt worse.

"R-run!" Namjoon shouted. He took off running, dragging Amara along with him.

The members of Bts gave up on the formation and raced to the exit.
