It was a normal day at Fujimi Academy. Students were in their lessons, teachers were passing on their knowledge. Others were skipping, and hiding in one of the schools many side paths, toilets or in other places that teachers wouldn't find them, hopefully. Outside, however, something much more sinister was taking place. A deadly virus was sweeping through the population, turning them into flesh-eating monsters who preyed on the living. Eventually, the hordes of undead made their way to the school, and into the grounds, devouring anybody foolish enough to get in their way. Since nobody had any idea of what was going to happen, nobody was prepared, and the entire school, faculty included, went into meltdown. Students pushed, stamped, shoved and kicked each other out the way to get to the exits, only to be met by hungry zombies. Soon enough, only a handful of people remained, heavily outnumbered, with no way to escape...

You are one of these survivors. Surrounded by hundreds, if not thousands, of the undead. You must choose between life and death, giving up or fighting on. Will you find a way out or hand yourself over to the ravenous hordes?



How could this be? It was completely normal ten minutes ago. Nobody was trying to kill each ther. Shinji was sat at the back of his class, furiously taking down notes one moment, and the next his teacher was feasting on those at the front. The ensuing crush to exit the room wasn't helpful either. Shinji was lucky enough to be one of the first out, and ran off as the "They" spotted the students trying to evacuate.

Screaming and shouting soon filled the corridors. Left and right, hapless students were fending off those they once called friends. Others were furiously scrabbling to find an exit, but all they got was the claws of "Them" waiting for their next meal, and were promptly dragged off and never seen again, presumably becoming a human meal.

Shinji looked out the window, hoping to find the police, or the army, just someone who could help. But all he saw were masses of "Them" congregating in the grounds. He grimaced, realising that no help was coming any time soon. So he continued on his path, avoiding "Them" and trying to find a teacher, or anyone who could tell him what the hell was going on.

Aiko had finished taking down her notes before the rest of the class, and was left to relax a little. She doodled in her notebook, but had kept her eye on the teacher. One of her classmates, Hayate, appeared to be ill but still came to school for some reason. He was always very quiet and sat in the back corner of the class, but today he had been acting somewhat strange. In the morning he lashed out at anyone asking if he was okay, and he had been holding his shoulder most of the time, as if soothing an injury. This whole lesson however, he had been sleeping, which would be normal, except this was english class, which was one of the lessons Hayate actually seemed to be really interested in.

Then it happened.

Hayate stood up suddenly in the middle of class, and began tearing at his best friend (who had been sitting in front of him), and once he got him in his clutches, he bit straight onto his brow! Everyone around them began panicking, and tried to get Hayate off of Mosu, who was now bleeding profusely with an exposed skull. Other students restrained Hayate, getting bitten in the process, while Mosu laid unconscious. Aiko watched from the other side of the classroom as five students struggled to keep Hayate from attacking Mosu.

And then Mosu woke up. He tore open Chie's ankle, and everyone in the front half of the classroom rushed out, with Hayate running- no, SHAMBLING after them. Chie could not get away from Mosu, as he gnawed at her leg, and her screams penetrated the remaining students' ears; including Aiko's. Everyone backed off towards the back door of the classroom, but Mosu soon caught a whiff of them and stood up, blocking a small handful from escaping. Aiko was part of the small handful. Out of pure fear she grabbed the arm of the nearest boy, Uzo, a delinquent who for some reason decided to actually come to class today. He too was terrified, and pushed Aiko towards Mosu, hoping that she would be bait. This was the moment Aiko decided to act. As Mosu lunged towards her, she ducked underneath a table, leaving Uzo as Mosu's target. Her friends Yukiko and Ryu immediately yelled at and kicked Uzo towards Mosu after seeing what he had done to their friend, and went underneath the table to meet with Aiko.

The trio then attempted to crawl their way towards the front of the class, noticing that a few other students were cowering near their seats. Yukiko began to tremble, and went into the fetal position, crying as she did so. Aiko and Ryu stopped to reassure her, but Chie began to crawl towards them. After seeing what people who had been bitten begin to do, Aiko began to pull Yukiko with all her strength, trying to get her back on her feet before Chie gets to them. Unfortunately, Yukiko was too far gone, and Chie pounced on her just as she looked up at Aiko. Ryu was the one who stopped Aiko from trying to help Yukiko. She slammed Aiko against the wall, and yelled at her to get her shit together, a side of Ryu Aiko had never seen before. Shit was serious. Aiko then looked behind Ryu and noticed "injured" students shambling into the class, recognising some of them as the students that tried to restrain Hayate earlier. It looked as if there was no escape unless... the window!
She looked at Ryu with more determined eyes and said in a hushed yet hurried tone, "We can't get out through the doors! We need to go out the window!" Ryu turned behind her and immediately turned back, nodding urgently. They opened the window, and Aiko went out first, and shuffled along the ledge to allow space for Ryu to climb out. She assisted her, and they smiled at each other. They were now probably safer than they were before climbing out. "Now we just have to wait for help to arrive!"

All sense of optimism had disappeared in an instant. "They" had smashed through the window between Aiko and Ryu, and grabbed Ryu, and in the ensuing chaos, Ryu ended up falling off the ledge, plunging down three stories and taking Ozu with her. Aiko was powerless to stop this, and could only watch as Ryu's beautiful smile was the last moment she would have with her best friend. The tears began to stream as she moved away from the window, and was now trapped as she watched "them" mindlessly toss themselves out the open window in an attempt to catch her. There was no escape for her.

Before the screaming happened, Ash was having his break and kicked up his feet in an empty class room, he was going over grades homework and other class work, going through most of the work Ash found something that really annoyed him, Maya's work, he didn't really see anything for her and the little that he did see of her work and homework was severely lacking.

Ash slammed his fist into his desk and stood up he was gonna look for her and force her to finish her unfinished and blank work and homework on his desk as he went out to get her to finish everything she was missing, after asking a couple of the other teachers where Maya was it wasn't long before he was walking towards the stair well.

As he went to the stair well heading to the roof he could've swore he heard someone screaming, but he shook it off, feeling as his nerves were getting to him, he must have been having a long day and thought he was just hearing things, the climb to the roof during the stair well was just cut short when Maya came running down the stairs and ran face first into him, he stood still and looked at Maya with a clear look of anger on his face.

" There you are ! How many times have people told you not to go the roof, huh ?! I willing to over look chilling out on the roof if you come back to my class and finish off this work I gave you." He told her. He didn't know what was going on outside and wondered why she was running for a second, but then he just put it off and kept glaring at his student wondering what she'll say.

Cat stood leaning out of a vacant classrooms window deeply inhaling from a freshly lit blunt, holding it for a moment before slowly exhaling through her nose contently watching as the smoke dissipated with the breeze outside. Her relaxation interrupted when screams echo'd from the far ends of the corridors, "sounds like someone broke a nail again oh my gawd! the horror!" she said sarcastically to no one while mimicking with her hands, the screaming got louder joined by other massed screams & sounds of banging & thumping echoing along the corridors. Cat curious to what on earth was going on placed the joint on the nearby table next to the window as she went to go see what was happening, Barely stepping out the class door she looked on in both horror and surprise at the sight of mutilated people attacking others "wha-" Two people slammed into her pushing her back into the class room and shutting the door behind as they did so, both of them in a panic a dolled up bottle blonde with way to much makeup looked at Cat and in a fit of misdirected confusion, anger, or fear spoke out loudly "Oh just great! everything goes to shit & i wind up stuck in a room with the queen of delinquents?!, what are you doing in here anywa-" She was cut off by Cat who'd closed the short distance and stared her down face to face "now, now calm down or you'll ruin your makeup!" she said intimidatingly making the bottle blonde go quiet as a mouse.

Cat tried to peek through the rectangular window in the classroom door to see into the corridor nodding to the guy who'd also barged in "whats happening?", The guy a little calmer now stepped away from the door as the other girl began pacing up & down the room trying to think. The guy took a breath before speaking "no idea one minuet everything was fine the next people where attacking & biting each-other like some cheep horror movie or something?". Cat turned away from the door looking at them "So... quietly ride it out till, it's sorted scenario?", the guy dident look so convinced and was going to argue against the idea but the other girl nodded vigorously & hurriedly spoke "Yes, yes that's what to do!, J-just, just wait & the teachers will fix it! then my dad will sue them for not having proper security or something! yea!...". Cat mentally could hear herself saying "O...K... then..." sarcastically as she walked back across the classroom to the far window when the door burst open a student who looked like half his neck was missing charged in flying past where cat had been standing a moment ago and body slammed into the guy tearing into him the lass near her screaming hysterically in a panic, With little time to think Cat looked around and quickly reached towards an indoor gardening troth next to another window grabbing a lengthy piece of steel-rebar which was acting as a support for garden-pea stems to grow along. Cat fearlessly charged at the attacker thinking nothing of bludgeoning the back of his skull the the metal rod till it collapsed lifelessly on-top of the guy it was attacking, Kicking the lifeless attacker aside Cat paused looking down at the victims wounds blood pouring everywhere.

The blonde spoke up in shock which snapped Cat out of her momentary pause "I'll go get a first aid kit there's gotta be one in the office next door!" without a thought the girl took off out the room, Cat knelt down beside the guy trying to stop some of the bleeding if any as she shouted in reply "he's gonna need more than a band-aid! grab anything useful you can find!" Cat looked at the guy trying to jest "Your girlfriend has some merit at least huh?" the guy spat up blood as he laughed "...sister..not-" he coughed up more blood "Yikes! my bad... now i feel more sorry for ya, that one has a sharp-tongue on her i can tell ya that from experience". she jested as the guy was still coughing up blood till Cat helped to elevate & tilt him to spit it out, after a while he managed to speak clearly "...don't make me laugh it hurts, please..." he said smiling. A loud scream came from the doorway, Cat ran over to the door to see several lumbering bodies in-between her the blonde she screamed again before throwing a large first aid box at Cat before taking off running in the opposite direction. Cat stumbled to catch the box she went to shout wait when she looked up to see the lumbering bodies turn to face her, not wasting a second Cat threw the box onto a nearby desk shut the door & desperately tugged on the top corner of a large filing cabinet till it tipped over across the door slamming against a desk which half held it up seconds before the door was forced open but slammed against the cabinet preventing much room for the door to swing open. Cat backed away looking back at the guy nodding in reassurance before looking around and in the back of the class was a smaller disused door to another room, Cat charged over to find it locked in a panic Cat kept trying to kick & body-slam the door open to no avail when a metal click sounded and it opened from the other side cat looked up in surprise, smiling & almost shouting "Blondie!" The panting girl put her hand on her hips "It's Nami!, not blondie!" she grinned but they where interrupted by obscured moans & then struggled gurgling rushing halfway over to see a legless student had crawled through the gap in the door, under the cabinet and took a bite though the guys neck h'd stopped struggling his eyes going lifeless shortly after.

Blondie or rather the girl named Nami froze in shock trying to scream or speak but unable to find her voice while staring at her brother in shock, Cat was about to say something when the door & cabinet creaked loudly as the door burst open a dozen of the creatures came toppling into the room, the cabinet now awkwardly angled ended up landing on-top of the crawler that was eating the guy pinning it in place, not that it seemed to care as it was busy eating. Cat more reacting than thinking grabbed the aid kit shoving it into Nami's hands & pushing her back to the way she'd came in, cat paused again seemingly i a panicked daze to grab the joint she'd left near the window before hurriedly forcing Nami into the next room slamming the door shut behind & locking it. Cat managed to frenziedly pile some chairs & tables in-front of the small door before she regained her composure, absorbing the situation in its entirety now she nipped out the joint & pocketed it, It slowly dawned on her she was still holding onto the rebar in her other hand as she did so, half spoken mumbling caught her attention as the shock stricken Nami was trembling Cat placed the rebar down on a desk & took the aid kit off Nami placing it next to the rod on the desk, Cat grabbed Nami's shoulders trying to comfort her but struggling to find what to say "It, Everything... I..." Nami burst into tears screaming "i wanna go home!" at the top of her lungs as she tugged away from Cat & ran towards this rooms main doors into another corridor which connected to the previous one. Cat ran after her in an attempt to stop Nami but the girl shot off at full speed again evading everything down the corridor as she went, Cat stopped when she reached the large sliding door due to the amount of mutilated people & corpses in the corridor she could only watch as Nami raced away vanishing around a distant corner.

Cat stood alone in silence for a moment before whispering "hope you make it home Nami..." in all sincerity hoping her parents will protect her, the thought triggered a mental picture of her own family in a brief moment of forgetfulness she check her pockets but stopped when she remembered she got into the habit of leaving her mobile phone in the van so it didn't get confiscated when it rang in class like usual, "...My van!" Cat slowly reassured herself of some assemblance of a plan to get out of here & home safely when echo's of distant screaming & shouting interrupted, Cat walked over & picked up the Steel rebar & the first aid kit in her other hand and spoke to reassure herself "Right find anyone else that's ok and then get to safety..." the screaming & shouting seemed to get louder "...Easier said than done by the sounds". Catherine took a deep breath to ready herself and then set off out of the room in search of others & an exit to the car parks, trying her best to avoid the 'eaters' along the way & kicking down or smacking rebar over the heads of any of the eaters that blocked her way down the corridors, most of the chaos seemed to have moved on to more populated areas of the school, However the isolation & thoughts of being alone during all this was slowly nibbling away at Cat in the back of her mind as she continued on down the corridors, trying to remain calm she pressed the play button on her mp3 player which was attached to her belt, quiet tunes began to play from the headphones around her neck but it did little to ease her worries.

What seemed to be a normal day turned into a gut-wrenching, horrific, and frightening day.

Sweat broke out from the sides of her face as she clenched her hands together, trying to keep them from shaking. She sat on the floor in a quiet and empty hallway. The only hallway that hasn't yet been breached by the mass of the undead. Her breathing was unsteady, and her eyes unfocused.

*10 minutes earlier*

Good. None of the delinquents that hung around the back of the school to smoke were around today. Ayano breathed a sigh of relief, now planning to return to her classroom. As she made her way back inside the building, she couldn't shake the ominous feeling that something big was about to happen.

AHHH!

Suddenly, screams could be heard one after another from inside the classrooms. She could hear screams of anguish, tables and chairs falling and being thrown around, and windows breaking. There was utter chaos as the students began to fill the hallways, leaving their classrooms in horror and panic. "What's going on?" she asked one of girls that was running toward her. "Z-z-zombies.." the girl answered, frightened yet unsure.

"What?"

"Th-they're eating people." She shook involuntarily as tears started to stream down her face.
Before Ayano could ask her anything else, a student with blood on his mouth and his uniform ran toward them. He looked strange, like he wasn't himself. The look in his eyes were the eyes of a predator hunting down its prey, and it sent shivers down her spine. He lunged at them, and Ayano quickly pushed the girl off aside, grabbing the knife from the sheath that was wrapped around her leg just under her skirt. The sharp knife pierced through his chest, and he dropped to the ground, screaming in pain before slowly losing consciousness. "What the hell is going on?!" Her voice trembled, and her hands slightly shook from the shock of stabbing a fellow student. She looked at the girl to search for answers, but she was already gone from sight. She must have ran away.

Ayano quickly ran toward her classroom, desperate to look for her two best friends. Her eyes quickly darted around the room, searching for their faces. The room was a mess; chairs and tables everywhere, broken windows, blood splattered on the floor like paint. A sudden movement caught the corner of her eye, and she drew in closer to get a better look. It was her homeroom teacher. His face and mouth were covered in blood, dripping down to his clothes. He was.. feeding.. on her friend. Her eyes grew wide, and she felt her heart stop for a second. All the blood left her face, and she felt glued to the ground, unable to move. "N-no. It can't be. I-I.." Her legs started to shake and she fell to her knees, burying her face in her palms. The sight was enough to make her gag, but the overwhelming sadness and shock replaced those feelings of disgust.

*Present*

tick. tock. tick. tock.

Ayano could hear her wristwatch in the dead silence as she wrapped her arms around her knees, her face buried in the dark hallow. Images of her dead friends friends flashed through her head, and she bit her lip as she forced those thoughts aside. The screams have died down and now it was peacefully quiet. Did everyone die? Probably. The other floors must be filled with the undead. She was alone in a pool of flesh-eating monsters and she was unable to move. No one was coming to save her.

She was going to die and turn into a vicious monster herself.

"So this is happening... This.... THIS!? THIS!?!?!?"

It was the thought that persisted in the mind of Anna as she made her way down the hallway. A loud noise in the adjacent classroom caused her to duck behind some lockers, only seconds before the classroom doors burst open. A student, screaming and crying fell through as his former classmates descended upon his body. As scenes of horrific gore began to occur, Anna dashed by the man eaters while they were preoccupied with their feast.

"Of all the ridiculous, asinine, downright retarded ways that my life could end!"

Anna's pace began to quicken.

"THIS! THIS is what's going to try to get me! A fucking zombie outbreak!? I mean really!!!"

Tears now began to fall.

"And of course, it happens here, while I'm half way across the world, in a country where people are packed like fucking sardines!"

Anna fell to her knees, staring down the blood soaked hall of the school. Various zombies wandered while others sat and devoured their fellow classmates. Gore and bile pooled around them, completing this nightmarish reality.

"I....I don't understand... why now? Why ever? What the fuck is going on?" Anna whispered to herself. The zombies took little notice of the prey sat near them in the hallway as they were more interested in their fresh kills. This gave time for Anna to compose herself a little, rising off the floor. "Gah.... screw this... I can't... I can't think about that right now dammit! I need to keep moving." Thus she quickly jogged by the zombies further down the hall. Anna came to a stair case. Now, further below, she heard the screams of the living and the moans of the dead while above, she heard practically nothing at all. Making the quick, smart decision, she decided to head upwards. Anna reached a relatively quieter floor. It seemed most of the students had left this part for the exit. Either way, things were getting unsettlingly quiet for Anna, so she kept her guard up. She rounded a corner and saw a single student balled up against the wall. She looked understandibly shell shocked, probably not even noticing Anna's arrival.

Anna approached cautiously, but not threateningly, making her motions very deliberate and slow. "Hey." she said as she walked up to the girl. "Are you hurt?"

@Winter05

He calmly took each step up toward the rooftop. His light blue letter bag felt weightless, which he knew would not last long. For soon, he would receive his textbooks. Then homework, then articles, then notes, and assignments, and--. The list went on in his head. He yawned sleepily, ad put his hand up to his mouth. He approached the roof door, and turned the knobe and pushed the door open slightly, making his way outside, and closing the door shut behind him. He sighed, and turned back around. Only to discover. A teacher! Wait, he was already scolding another student. Wynter stood frozen. Could he sneak away? His legs wouldn't move. He could NOT get in trouble this early in the game! His aunt would kill him. Suddenly, a scream, sending a ring in his ears, came from not to far away. His head turned attentively, and he ran up to the fence around the railing around the roof that kept people from simply just walking off the edge of the building and falling to their death. He flung open his letterbag, and pulled out his phone. He dialed the three numbers. No! He was an idiot! This wasn't America! Would nine one one even work? He pushed the device back into his bag. No, even if he had called, no-one could save those people. Blood, everywhere. He could see the painted walls as far as the other side of the school. Walls, painted in the blood of people he had been around for the past week. Their existances just. Dissapearing in mere instants. he hadn't even known about such carnage until a few moments ago. A murder? No, he realized then what he was dealing with. He was anticipating this moment, but the sudden move had thrown him off guard. How could he consider himself a survivalist without even having a plan? He immediately sprung to the rooftop door. What could he use to bar it? That's it! A drainage pipe ran down into the building to the right of the door. He pulled off his right shoe, and beat the sides of the pipe used to connect it to the wall. After he unhinged it, he began crushing the pipe, smashing it with hit foot multiple times. It was hollow, and almost as vulnerable as aluminum, but it would give him some time to think should those things make their way up here. Just as he was about to bar the already locked door, he froze, and turned around quickly. Two of them were still here! Where they bitten? He Grabbed hold of the top of the door frame, and pulled himself on top of the roof of the stairs, which was about 10 feet up from the roof where the teacher and student were. The pip was finished, all he had needed to do was stick it into the door. Sadly, he left it on the floor without completing his task. He backed away slowly until only his head was visible to the two as he peered down at them. "H-h-hello....?" he said, with a hint of confusion that seemed to ask, "What are you doing up here?" and "Are you bitten?". Though he wasn't sure what kind of zombies these were. Did the virus only come via a bloodborne disease? Were the schools water fountains poisoned? He shuddered at all the horrific possibilities.

Shinji sighed as his cowardice took him over, and he found himself hiding in a janitor's closet. He wasn't sure if he was seen as he scrambled into his makeshift safe haven, so he sat against the door, hoping he would function as some kind of barricade just in case "They" tried to pry their way in. Outside, he could hear the screaming of students and teachers as they battled fruitlessly against the unrelenting hordes of undead, and the low moans and groans of "Them", as they did their hardest to force the living to become their meals. Shinji silently scolded himself for being too quick to run away, but told himself it was why he was still alive.

After around five minutes, he decided on taking a look outside to see if the coast was clear. Realising the horrifying sounds had died off minutes ago, Shinji inched the door open, biting his tongue every time it squeaked, expecting the entire school to come after him. Peeking into the corridors, he saw they were coated with blood. It was on the floor, the walls and some had even made it onto the ceiling. Shinji even saw a few fingers littered on the ground. He raised a hand to his mouth, to stop himself from vomiting. It was like something out of a nightmare. Shinji tried his hardest to wake himself up, but it was to no avail.

Forcing himself into the empty corridor, Shinji stepped over each puddle of blood, trying to not slip over. It was fairly quiet. The occasional groan caused Shinji to stop and look over his shoulder, expecting his doom to be right behind him. Looking out the window into the courtyard below, he saw that the mass of undead had increased. It seemed they came in through the school's main gate and the population of the academy just added to their ranks. If there were that many in the grounds, who knew how many were lurking in the building? Shinji shook the thought out his each and rounded a corner.

Somebody was on the floor. Bleeding profusely from a wound on his hand. The student was clutching at it, willing it to stop, but no success. Shinji made his way over and was about to ask if he was OK, when the boy, who was about the same age as Shinji, just stopped moving. His pale skin stood in contrast with the pool of blood around him, and his hand didn't stop. As Shinji stood a few meters from the body, it began twitching once more. Shinji was still in shock, as he hadn't watched somebody bleed out before. He'd seen his teacher go berserk, but he didn't stay behind to watch. The boy slowly got up, stumbling as he did so. He faced away from Shinji.

"Are you OK?" Shinji called out, not realising the grave error he just made.

The boy turned. His eyes were paler than his skin. Shinji backed away, avoiding the blood puddles. The boy lunged, screeching as he did so. Shinji yelped, turned on his heel and took off. He couldn't go to fast, for he would slip on blood and become easy prey. Peering back down the corridor, he saw the boy was pursuing him, not caring for his own well-being. Only wanting to get his next meal. He was no longer human. He was just another member of the undead ranks who's only goal was to infect every last living person, Shinji included. Hearing the groans of other infected beings, Shinji ran off to the nearest staircase, which led up to the second floor of the school.

Maya Noto

Maya noticed that she had run into to someone, and this certain someone was her teacher which made her a little irritated. She stepped back and grit her teeth due to the uneasiness that he was giving her in the moment. Then she started to get a scolding from her teacher, telling her to go back and do her work immediately. But she just brushed it off, being the isolated person she was. She put her hands into her pockets before jerking her head towards another scream that was heard. "Did you hear that sir? I guess my education will have to wait due to the school being attacked by those guys." Maya grinned before she looked back at her teacher.

"School is no more than a harvesting service, take a look at what it happening to people. They are being eaten alive by them." Maya dropped her grin as she cracked her knuckles, listening to the sounds of windows breaking, and thumping being heard.

" What ?!" Was the only thing Ash could manage to say to her, he sighed and wondered what went through this girl's head," Don't play the pronoun game with me who's Those or what are those." He asked, as another scream tore through the air, it was obvious now that he wasn't just having a long day today, it was something else that was going on right now and from the sounds of the screams he didn't like it one bit, Ash groaned and thought that someone was in a fight or something and Maya was overreacting.

" Yeah sadly it means that I will have to stop a fight or something and it pisses me off." He told her rubbing the back of his head, he ignored what she said about school being a harvesting service or what ever she said, she then said take a look at what is happening to people, Ash didn't get to be lucky enough to catch anyone being eaten alive or the dead walking around, he didn't get what she was doing and when he heard windows shattering, Ash put a hand up to tell her that he'll check it out." You seem shaken up by something I'll check this out you stay here."

Ash walked down the steps slowly and as he gotten closer to the origins of the sound, part of him began to feel a little on edge, and a little nervous, the heavy set teacher walked down the steps to the sound with his hands in his pockets and as he gotten closer to it he heard another sound, it sounded like meat being ripped from something and a dripping sound. The moment he was three steps from the landing he saw them, it was a group of people that looked like they were eating a girl that was wearing one of the school's uniforms." W-what the hell ?" Was all he could utter as one of Them turned from their meal to look at him.

The creature stood up and began walking towards him and when it gotten close to him a single step away, The burly teacher just punched the creature back and knocked it back down onto the landing and onto the other creatures that were eating the student. The teen that they were eating was long dead from the bites they gave them and from the lower section of stairs Ash could see more of them coming up," Shit it's bad down here turn back to the roof !" Ash yelled as he began running back up the steps catching up to Maya." Maya go run back up to the roof I'm right behind you." He said as he gotten closer to her with Them right behind him crawling up the steps.

Maya Noto

@Blind@Spriggs27

Maya was annoyed by this delusional teacher in front of her, he thought that this was all a single fight breaking out? She felt like creating one with her teacher, but then he decided to check out this mess for himself. She sighed in annoyance as he ran down the stairs, she started to kick at the ground due to the state of boredom she was in. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he runs back up to here. Maya had snickered to the thought she just had, she stared at the stairwell before looking up to see a boy. She noticed that he had been on top of the roof of the staircase somehow, she lifted an eyebrow at him before calmly sighing.

"Hey." Maya said in response to the boy, she noticed that the boy looked quite young, but that could come at an advantage for him. Being able to hide from these creatures. The boy then had asked another question. "What I'm doing up here? I was simply skipping the abomination known as class, and that delusional teacher decided to come 'scold' me. And am I bitten? Of course not, am I decayed and having the lust to eat you? No." Maya had replied to the boy, she then heard running towards their direction as she slightly widened her eyes.

"Whatever!" Maya had yelled in response back to the teacher, she looked down to see a broken pipe on the ground, she looked back up at the boy for a second before picking it up and running back. "Hey kid, you stay up there, they won't reach you." Maya had said to the boy as she held the broken pipe up in front of her. She was slightly curious how the pipe got there, but there were hits into the pipe, so it surely would have been the boys doing.

"Do you mind being our lookout?" Maya quickly asked the boy.

"Oh, and the name's Maya."

"S-sure.." he said shyly. "Its Ko--.." he thought for a moment, before opening his mouth to speak again. "It's Wynter." he said, delivering a sheepish smile. The remainder of his "family" was probrably dead by now, so he might as well use that name with people that are still alive. He crossed his legs, sitting atop the roof. He sighed. He didn't see the teacher go back inside. It would have been bad if he had barred the door then. He stared out into the courtyard, which was surprisingly empty, compared to the madness in the corridors of the school. Perhaps they could leave that way? He looked out into the horizon. Oh god. The city was in panic. Fires, smoke lifting into the horizon. The echoing of gunshots. He knew it must be chaos. They had to move away from the city. But how could he be sure where the virus had started. If he could pinpoint that location, they could find the safest way away from the larger hordes that would be bound to group together, which would be almost impossible to get past. These zombies didn't seem too slow either, but their eyesight didn't look very good. Besides the white pupils, they seemed to just turn their heads aimlessly. They must use their other senses. Unless he just never noticed how "lifeless" the undead could be. But then, how could he ever have known before this? He looked toward Maya for directions.

When he saw Maya go back down Ash looked down to her and shook his head." Goddamn it." He cursed, Ash jumped down to her level and punched one of the creatures that climbed to up to her level." Don't you listen damn it ? This isn't some damn game !" Ash yelled and threw one of the creatures down the stairs and onto some of the others that were coming up the stairs." Get whatever shit is inside your ears out and get to the fucking Roof !" Ash yelled at her, he was angry and a vein sprouted onto one of his temples.

" I'm your teacher and I'm trying to keep you safe from this danger and you running into the danger isn't helping me keep you safe damn it, get to the roof and I won't keep yelling at you." Ash told her, he was directly angry that she just didn't listen to him, he told her it was bad down there and to go to the roof, and she just didn't listen, part of him wondered if her parents dropped Maya on her head for her to just do something like that, and almost before he could keep going, one of Them got close to him and lunged him.

Ash stumbled back and grabbed the creature by it's shoulders, the creature was dressed as one of the students and tried to lean forwards with it trying to chomp on him, Ash put a hand on the creature's neck and held it's head away from him to avoid being bitten by the creature, he took a split second to look at Maya and then turned back to looking at the creature's pale white eyes, it smelled like rotting meat and it's skin looked grey like a cloudy day, Ash still struggled wondering if Maya would help him and he wondered why this creature was almost stronger than him.

Ash held the creature back as Maya struck it's head and bashed it's head in taking it out, Ash threw the thing off him as he got up. He watched his student being going down the stairs saying that if they went up they'd starve." It's not like I had us plan on living up there forever, I was trying to find a safe place of refuge for you, the student till help arrived." Ash explained himself as he caught up with Maya stayed by her, she had a pipe and he only had his fist.

"Well your right about something." He told her cracking his knuckles and his neck." I won't be able to do much with only my fist so I leave this to you, I'm gonna try to keep my voice down, but don't do something stupid like taking on a large mob of these bastards, deal with them quickly, you don't have to kill each and everyone of them in your way just get them out of the way." Ash gave her some advice." Hopefully you'll listen to me say this instead of doing your damn school work."
