residents of the dead

the escape

"These guys only react to noise!" Saya told the group as they moved through the school. "And they're strong enough to bust down a door, so if they catch you they'll eat you. Watch yourselves."

"Thank you for the advice, oh wise one" Jin said. the value in knowing the zombies were blind - the boxer would have to have been mad not to - but he found it irritating that Saya felt the need to remind them that the zombies would eat anyone of them if they caught. As if they didn't already fucking know that!

As they continued to move through the school, a scream sounded out - it sounded relatively close by. No one needed to communicate; they simply set off running in the direction the scream was coming from, hoping that whoever it was was still alive when we got there.

After running for a short period of time before coming across a stairwell; there was an unusually large amount of zombies making their way down the stairs. The distinct sound of people fighting could be heard over the constant moaning of the undead horde.

Takashi managed to get a look over the zombies' heads - which wasn't easy, considering how crowded in they were - and saw that, in the middle of the stairwell, stood five other students, three male and two female. The zombies were fast approaching them from both up and down the stairs, and one of the boys was getting ready to fight with a baseball bat.

But before the first zombie could get to him, it went tumbling to the ground, a nail sticking out of its head courtesy of Kouta's nail gun.

And then all hell broke loose again.

all the fights were now sort of blending together, nothing to really make them stand out from each other.
The blood, the sound of bones breaking, the large number of corpses had to be step over in order to move after a while. The only thing particularly everyone remembered about this fight - the one thing that made it stand out among all others - was that all five of the people we were protecting were alive by the end.

Once all the zombies were disposed of, one of the girls in the group stepped forward.

"Thank-!" Her loud words of gratitude were swiftly cut off.

"Not so loud," Saeko warned her. "Was anybody bitten?"

A nervous look crossed the girl's face. "Uh ... no, nobody."

"They look okay," said Rei. "Honest." Nobody disputed her.

"We're getting out of here," Takashi said to the group they had just saved.

"You coming?" Saya asked them.

"Y-yes," said the other girl in the group

Jin had an uneasy feeling now larger by five, continued down the stairs, rapidly making our way to the front of the school. killing and avoided the zombies at passed them. It took them no time at all to reach where they wanted to go.

However, when Takashi - who was at the head of our group - went to turn the corner that would take them to the area of the lockers, he jumped back almost immediately, knocking into Jin in the process. He barely managed to keep himself from falling over.

"There are tons of them," Takashi whispered.

"They can't see us," said Saya. "So there's no need to hide."
