"Welcome children. Take a seat. I am Mr Robinson. You probably are wondering why you are here. To put it bluntly, you all have seen too much. I am sure you remember the 'human' my group of men shot down." He tried to tell us as calmly as possible, which worked for all except Caspar.

"Wait. Not to be rude but what do you mean by quoting 'human' wasn't that person a... person?" Caspar gasped in confusion and shock. Mr Robinson explained what I did not expect to hear. All this while I thought it was just a fantasy. The undead- rising from the grave then roaming around freely without a circulatory, respiratory system and only surviving by instincts. How did I never suspect it?

He further explained that now we know about this secret service. We are not allowed to leave campus unless there are dire situations outside the fences or until the mission is done- build an exterior before all undead arise terrorising everyone.

"But our parents will be very worried that we are not around for a long period of time." I said. Apparently all our parents were informed that we were all part of a governmental movement which required long time effort thus will be away.

I was surprised my mum just let it go. She never asked or questioned what it was about.

Then I realised.

"Clean."

I then assumed it was to see whether we were infected! It was good to say I was alright. However, Caspar's medical file stated "to be cautious". As Mr Robinson finished his explanation, it was curfew and we had to be back in our dorms. While the rest exited, I stayed back and decided to ask him what 'clean' and 'to be cautious' represented. He told me "Tomorrow darling I will tell you tomorrow." As he signal me out the door, saying good night to everyone.

That night, as Wendy slept soundly me on the other hand could not sleep. So many questions left unanswered. The suspense to be able to know only tomorrow could have killed me if it was not the snores of Wendy which kept me distracted once awhile. As I thought, my brain slowly drifted to sleep.

Yes Yes this is a pretty long chapter thus I split it into 2 parts! I guess this is where you can say is where the story truly unfolds and starts If there are parts unclear, do tell me! I need all the help to edit or change parts some dislikes or grammatically wrong or too much commas (apparently that's a problem too ) Anyways I wrote this at 12.30 so sorry for the drunk writing!! Oh and this chapter is dedicated to @pygmyniall since she has been helping me to edit my errors most of the time lol.
