A/N: The "rogue" ones are the mutated, undead zombies that were once children. Also, the video is probably taken with a phone that was in the protagonist's hand while she fought with the other. The very beginning and the end was taken with a front facing camera but the rest, with a back facing camera. Hope you enjoy!

The room is small with sooty walls and muddy ground. There's a yellowish white double bed in the corner.
There were two girls in the room. A girl with tan skin and dirty blonde hair dip dyed aquamarine blue and teal. She's wearing a graphic tee and maroon jeans while fixing the bed. A pale girl with auburn hair and blue eyes wearing a leather jacket and black tights. She's videotaping this.
Girl: Kassandra, what the hell are you doing? You aren't supposed to film anything inside of here.
Kassandra: Who the hell cares, Lacey? In just a few minutes we can break out of here. That's right, we're escaping out of these jail cells or "dorms" as they call it.
When I just turned 5, I was out riding my scooter. Biggest mistake ever as I was dragged miles away from my home. My parents reported me as missing. The government, man they were good. They planned out everything. They had a decaying body from one of the previous "experimented" ones, pretending it was me.
Now, after who knows how many years, I can finally see sunlight again. Finally be freed from this corrupted government's experiments and the first thing I'll do is overthrow them with this video as evidence.
Lacey: But you know about them, the "rogue" ones. I-I-I can't leave. If I do, I'll just be killed by them, if not by the armed forces.
Kassandra: At least this way we have a chance at freedom...
Lacey: But what if we-
Kassandra: There's no more time. Luke said he'll hack into the system at 6am and that's exactly 30secs away. C'mon, grab your gear...let's go!
The laser chained "dorm" doors opened as children from various parts of the room all dashed to a metal door, leading outside.
A group of teens were distracting the guards while the rest of the children ran to the control center where the experiments will be shut down from.
Kassandra: Ren! Help the kids get to the control center, 'Kay? You know what to do right?
Ren: Are you sure?
Kassandra: Yeah, just go!
Kassandra and two identical brunettes wearing similar to what Kassandra was wearing. They were fighting a guard with a short, grey-ish beard. The guard was holding one of the brunettes while Kassandra knocked him down with the other brunette's baseball bat. The first brunette is taking the keys from the guard as he lied unconsciously, on the ground.
Kassandra ran out the metal doors to help fight off the "rogue" ones to protect the younger kids.
At a distance, the "rogue" ones are being seen, killing the children by tearing their bodies apart and eating it.
Boy: Kassandra! Help!!!!!!!
A boy roughly seven years old was being ripped apart by one of the "rogue" one. The "rogue" one first ripped off the boy's hand so he couldn't fight back. Then the "rogue" one bite into the boy's abdomen. It seemed almost like the "rogue" one was dissecting the boy.
Kassandra suddenly turns towards the boy but she's obviously too late.
The "rogue" one had already killed the boy by biting his torso in half and ripping his organs out. The "rogue" one then slowly devoured the body.
Kassandra stopped running all together and stayed in that one spot.
Someone's shadow is hovering over Kassandra.
Man: So here you are. Kassandra Arielle Cipriano. How dare you try to escape? You were one of our most successful experimented ones.
Kassandra turns around and sees a man...but not alone. A girl was standing beside him, looking at the ground.
Kassandra: Lacey? What? Did they brainwash you or something? Fight him!
Lacey: I'm sorry...Kassandra. I couldn't tell you but-
Man: Are you really that dumb? After having Lacey as your room mate, you still didn't know? Lacey's been our little spy, she heard every single conversation.
We've known about this rebellion for weeks, waiting for your move. We've planned it so it seems like the guards are unaware and are actually injured but are you serious? There no chance that you little experiments will be able to fight the highly intelligent, trained professional guards! There's no way you can escape.
The man tries to headlock Kassandra and turn the phone off but Kassandra wriggles out of the position. The man then proceeds to try to taser Kassandra but she dodges him. He falls to the ground, unexpectedly.
Kassandra takes out a dagger and stabs the man in the chest and not too deep, enough to slow him down but not kill him. She then sprints across the field where many corpses lied due to the attacks of the "rogue" ones.
There were limbs and organs scattered all over the field too. Children and teens alike. Heads of young children lied in the fields. Some with their eyes closed, some with their eyes looking inside their own heads. Some of the were already decomposing while others where turning into ashes. A side effect from being bitten?
A shadow followed Kassandra. It didn't take too long for Kassandra to notice it and she turns around.
It was that Lacey girl.
Kassandra: Haven't you had enough? You've lied to me after I told you everything about me. I was completely honest yet you've been lying about your identity the whole time!
Lacey: I had to...my dad. He worked for a pharmaceutical company that wanted their drugs to be tested. And since animal testing is banned...
Kassandra: Stop wasting my time! You make it sound like the government is innocent but are they really? It's only been less than an hour and there are already so many dead children from this escape. THEY WANTED TO BE FREE!
There were already dead ones as a result of the experiment and the deranged ones. There were also the mutated ones.
It's all your people's fault!
Lacey face suddenly turns into a confused expression as she points behind Kassandra.
Kassandra: You're speechless huh? You don't have anything to say you little bi-
A rogue one was behind Kassandra. It's grotesque body lunges at Kassandra, trying to rip off her left arm leaving bloody cuts. She tries to kill the "rogue" one by stabbing it in the heart but misses.
The phone is dropped and all that is seen is a sideway view of the bloody field.
Lacey: Kassandra don't move, if you do it'll be an automatic death! It can kill you in one bite if you-
Kassandra: Don't fucking talk to me you piece of shit!
???: Argh magarvv arghhh.
Kassandra: You fucking-
A few drops of blood land on the lens of the camera.
Slice. Thud.
