Chapter 3

In the morning Taylor and Violet went to get food from the cafeteria then went to the lost and found room.

"Are you sure you need another sweatshirt? What's wrong with the one you're wearing?" Violet asked while looking through the clothes section in the lost and found.

"It smells bad," Taylor replied while trying on a sweatshirt. "Now let's bring this food to the others before they get pissed at us." Abruptly they hear clattering.

"Did you hear that?" Violet asked. Taylor started looking around the room.

"Help!" Someone screeched. Brooke came running through the door with a zombie looking creature chasing her. The zombie-like creature attacked Brooke. Taylor and Violet both sprang into action.

"Brooke!" Violet screamed. Taylor started to pull the creature away. Brooke escaped. The creature picked Taylor up by his hoodie and slammed him against one of the shelves causing Taylor to fall to the ground. He kicked the creature away from him. Violet saw that the metal leg to the shelf broke off so she got the leg, came up behind Taylor, and stabbed the creature in the chest with the sharp side of the leg, slowing killing the masculine creature. Taylor, Violet, and Brooke ran off. Violet shut then barricaded the door with a rack of various basketballs, volleyballs, and soccer balls. The three ran off to find the rest of the group. They found the group in the teacher's lounge and told them what happen.

"We woke up and noticed that they were getting aggressive then one of them chased me up to the lost and found," Brooke explained.

"Is Nelson and Hudson okay?" Madelynn asked Brooke.

"I don't know," Brooke said. Jason, Oscar, Taylor, and Violet went down to the fallout shelter to see if everything is okay. When they got down there they saw Nelson holding the door close has best as he could. They could hear growling in the shelter. Violet grabbed a four-foot long lead pipe and put in through the door handle causing the door to be jammed.

"Are you okay?" Oscar asked Nelson.

"I'm scared shitless but other than that I'm good," Nelson replied, trying to catch his breath.

"What about Hudson?" Oscar asked.

"Hudsons a goner, those zombie freaks got him," Nelson said. They could hear pounding on the heavy metal door. The five of them went back upstairs to the others. Nelson started to explain what he saw.

"Like vampires?" Madelynn asked Nelson.

"I don't know. Vampires, zombies, chemical mutants, freaks. Does it matter? Hudson is dead! They were eating him alive!" Nelson exclaimed

"No! I'm pretty sure they were drinking him." Brooke said.

"The thing in the lost and found room tried to take a bite into me," Taylor commented.

"God it was awful," Violet added while embracing Taylor.

"Coach would never do anything like this," Isabella said.

"I think our definition of 'never' has been radically changed," Nelson said.

"I need to check this out for myself," Willow said while walking away.

"No, you can't! It's too dangerous." Nelson said.

"But, maybe we could help them" Zora suggested.

"The only people we can help now is ourselves," Violet said.

"We need to get out of here," Brooke said.

"We can't get out of here or we will turn into them," Peter said.

"We can't just sit in here, it's not safe," Willow said. "We need to go find help because clearly help won't find us and if it does it will be too late."

"Whatever, If you want to leave then suit yourself but clearly you didn't hear me when I said, if you go out there you will turn into one of them," Peter said.

"Fuck off faggot!" Willow yelled at Peter.

"Don't you dare shout that shit at me! You messing with the wrong 'faggot', slut!"

"What did you just call me?"

"I didn't stutter! I know you slept with 5 different guys at once!"

"Oh hell no!" Willow yelled while charging at Peter. Nelson stopped Willow.

"Everyone needs to chill out!" Jason shouted. "Fighting each other isn't going to help anything!"

"Look!" Isabella yelled. "We all know that when they went out, they got sick, they came back, and they transformed."

"That basically what I just said."

"I understand that Peter, but anyways if you put two and two together and make four you can tell it's the air that's turning them."

"So what do we do?" Madelynn asked Isabella.

"We should treat it like a radiation issue. Stay inside, tape off the windows and doors to limit contamination."

"But, there could be more of them out there," Peter told Isabella.

"So let's just block off all the entrances," Violet suggested.

"But, there could be more in here, right?" Zora asked.

"Oh my god, we're gonna die!" Brooke cried.

"Possibly," Isabella said. "But, if you do what I said we could improve our chances of surviving."

"Okay, guys!" Jason yelled. "Break into twos and start searching the school to make sure everything is locked and sealed."

"I'll stay here and try to rig the radio and ask for help," Peter offered. Everyone broke off and did what they were told. Brooke went into the bathroom and saw that she was bitten on the ankle by the Deadhead that was chasing her.
