Chapter 3: Room 115

“Did everyone find something to use as a weapon?” T.J. said, No one really found anything useful so T.j. was happy when he saw Cassandra and I walking back with several metal bars I think I even saw a little smirk starting to form but quickly went away by when we got to the group.

“Great job Kaity, you just saved everyone’s ass” it felt great to get a compliment from T.J. I wanted to jump for joy but I totally kept my cool.

” I found them in Cassandra’s room along…” I didn’t get to finish because right before I could finish my sentence, “Hi I’m Cassandra, I’m actually the one who had all of them I keep them just in case of an emergency” she said in a flirty voice. Ugh I was mad, does dibs really mean nothing to this damn girl! She stayed close to him, telling him all about her supposed karate training, and how she has taken down 4 zombies already, he kind of just brushed her off as he started telling everyone his very elaborate plan on how we are going to make it to the barricade, He said it was a bit risky but if we all kept our focus and had each others backs we should all make it out of here alive. I really didn’t like the “should” part in his little speech but it was inevitable some of us may survive and some may die, I’m just praying I’m on the surviving end.

All the sudden we heard glass shatter, we all jumped, Lily who is actually was a mental health patient started running, he twin brother Leo ran after her, he was great brother he took care of her because no one else would they just wanted to lock her up in a padded room and call it good. I followed them, than came the others. T.J. yelled “Shut her up and head for the south end emergency exit, we can get out before it finds us.”

My heart was pounding not because I was running which is something I rarely do on account of I’m the kind of girl who sits in her room and plays non stop video games but because I was scared, scared for myself but also scared for Leo, Lily, and T.J., maybe even Cassandra and the others but I didn’t want to admit it. We lost Lily she explored the area more so she knew many hiding places, but when I heard a kind of growl I freaked and grabbed onto T.J’s shoulder hoping he wouldn’t ripe away from me right away. He didn’t he just looked at me with a kind of sympathetic look and said in a low sweet voice ” It’s okay, it sounds like its at least 3 rooms away from us” I wanted to feel a little bit better about things but since we still haven’t found Lily yet I was hoping she wasn’t in that 3rd room with the zombie.

Leo insisted we split up to hurry and find Lily but EVERYONE know that when you split up someone dies, I protested I said that if we stay together than we would have be able to protect ourselves better. We took it to a vote and like usual I lost, I think Cassandra voted against me just in spite of me cause as soon as the vote was over she gave me a childish look that state “haha you lost” I even imagined her saying that exact thing in a childish tone. Everyone went there own ways groups of two, except Leo and I he thought if we each checked one room we would cover more ground. I came up to a three bedroom room 115, it had the names Ester, and Stephanie on the door, I knew Stephanie because I had biology 105 with her, but there was also another name on there but it was ripped the only thing I could make out was “ber” but I didn’t see the other half anywhere around the door. I opened the door, slowly praying that I wouldn’t get attacked the second I completely opened the door, I stepped into the room, it was empty like nearly completely there was a small couch and a table that was it, I got a cold chill than I heard a little gasp. ”Lily” I whispered, she peeked out from the bed frame in the next room, she motioned for me to come there than motioned to the next room with a fearful look in her eyes. I ran over to the frame, I tried to get her to get out with me but than we heard a loud scream from a girl which was getting louder like she was running to us. I closed the door to the frame, there was one small hole that you couldn’t really see from the outside. I looked out, it was Amber, a shy freshmen I met while eating dinner she was super sweet to me I tried to open the door to get her into safety with Lily and I but I wasn’t fast enough the door was jammed shut and next thing I knew I saw him, blood dripping from his mouth and his left hand was gone but a bloody stump. I knew what was going to happen and I couldn’t bare to let Lily watch, I told her to close her eyes tight and not to open them I said cover your ears and do not uncover them no matter what. I didn’t want to watch but I needed to make sure he wasn’t going to come after Lily and I in the bed frame so with my weapon ready I watched. He lunged at amber, mouth wide open she couldn’t even manage a scream as he sunk his teeth into her neck ripping flesh off and chewing it, He went it again biting her arm leaving a gaping hole, I started to cry so I covered my mouth and looked away for a second. I could hear him eating more and I wanted to throw up so bad but I choked it down and kept quiet for the sake of Lily and myself. I heard amber drop to the floor and let out a gurgled noise I looked back to see her looking what seemed to be right at me, she reached as if she was reaching for me to help her but I knew even if I did that she would still die and become one of them, I wouldn’t risk Lily’s life for my guilt I just couldn’t do that to this young girl who has barely lived.

All of the sudden in came bursting T.J and Leo swinging their weapons as if they were in sync at the zombie’s head and smashing it in on both sides, He dropped to the floor blood was all over the room, some amber’s and some the zombies. We were careful not to touch any of it knowing the risk that if we did we would than turn into the very thing we were fighting against. Leo called for his sister and I slammed open the door to the frame and let her run out right to his arms, he was crying and saying ” Never do that again please lily please” she started to cry as well saying that she would never run from him again. T.J offered to help me up but I crawled over to amber’s body and just sat there for a minute and cried, “I could of helped her but I wasn’t fast enough” I said as tears came pouring down my face like a waterfall. I didn’t expect a response and I think they all knew it. I heard Leo whisper to T.J ” we need to take care of the body before it turns” I turned my head in his direction but still keeping my face down and said sternly ” Her name is Amber” I went back to looking at her and repeated myself while adding ” and yes I know what needs to be done!” I took my weapon, raised it above my head whispered ” I’m so sorry” than slammed it down right on the middle of her forehead twice smashing in the whole front part of her skull. I than got up and put a blanket from the bed over her body, looked at the boys and lily and said “Now we can go”

T.J grabbed my hand and started for the hall way not letting go for the slightest second. We met up with the others who looked frightened when seeing T.J, Leo and Myself splattered with blood, they asked what happened and all Leo would say was ” what’s gonna keep happening if we don’t get out of this town!”

I think a small part of myself died with Amber in room 115, now I knew that no, some of us wont make it, but I was gonna try my damn hardest not to have to watch another one of these people die.

Chapter 2: Finding a Weapon

T.J told me to find anything I can use as a weapon. Problem is just finding one. It’s hard to find weapons in the girl’s dorm! There is a lamp, but I’d have to bring one every time I wanted to smash a zombies head in, there is also curling irons and straightener’s , but those are not good enough to bash some zombie skull. Yeah pillows not going work in anyway either. I look around in the room I’m in and I can’t find anything! I try the next room. Still nothing, as soon as I see the next door I know whose dorm room it is. It’s Cassandra’s, though the name doesn’t describe her very well. Cassandra is a name for a girl with straight A’s, or a girl who has no issues and is perfect but this Cassandra…..far from perfect and very far from normal. I opened up her the door to her room slowly. Everything in it was Black and Red. I should have picked this room in the first place! There were weapons everywhere! There was even a random out of place bar on the floor next to her bed. My weapon of choice will be the metal bar. I walked over to the bed with gory pictures of zombie skull being smashed by this ultimate weapon.

“Perfect.” I whispered as I bent over to grab the cold metal bar.

“Ahhhhhh!” I heard a sudden scream come out from under the bed. I fell over and scrambled backward leaving my weapon of choice right next to the screaming bed.

“Who’s there!” I yelled to be heard over screaming. A second later I wondered why I was even asking this stupid question. It’s not like zombies could answer.

My weapon of choice started swinging back and forth from under the bed. “Leave me alone you ugly zombie!” I knew that voice. I had some classes with her. She lived in this room. Cassandra.

“Cassandra! Stop swinging the damn pole and get out from under there. I’m not a damn zombie!” I ordered as she stopped screaming when I yelled her name. “And even if I was a zombie I wouldn’t be an ugly one” I muttered under my breathe.
“Kaity? What the hell are you doing in my room!?”
“That’s the question your choosing to ask?” I really couldn’t think of something else to ask but wondered if she could. My brain was still not functioning quickly enough.
Cassandra crawled out from underneath the bed and with the metal pole in hand she gave me an evil death glare. “Okay then.” I replied while I began to get up off the floor.
“So what are you doing in here?” She asked more calmly than before.
“I was looking for somethi…” I stopped midsentence “What are you doing in here?” Stupid question, it’s her room, but I was curious to know how she thought hiding under the bed would keep her safe.
“Someone was knocking on my door so I answered it. And what do I find? Someone who looks like a damn corpse trying to just waltz into my room!” She threw her hands up into the air for effect. “So I slammed the door in its damn face.” She finished with an exagerrated eye roll.
“And how did you end up under the bed?” She didn’t tell me how all of that ended her up under the bed. Especially if she has a weapon to use on them.
“I heard you come in.” She replied simply.
“Well I’m just glad you didn’t use that on me.” I said pointing to the pole in hand.
“Now that I answered your question. Why are you in here?” She said the ‘you’ part pretty obviously.
“I was looking for a weapon, to beat some zombie brain.” I said trying to not laugh. “Saw that pole” I pointed at the pole in her hand. “Was reaching down to grab it, then you start screaming in my ear.” I finished off with a smile. She glared at me for a while before she stood completely up.
“Find anything?” She asked looking at my empty hand.
“No, you have my weapon of choice.” I said looking down at her hand.
“We can find you something else, this ones mine.” She said holding the pole up in hand while smiling sadisticly.
“Whatever you say. Any suggestions?”
“Plenty.” She said looking around her room slowly.
“Ugh..What are you thinking?” I asked feeling confused at the way she was talking. She sounded like she was planning something, and I wanted to know what.
“Open that closet.” She nodded her head over to the other side of the room where there was a small closet. I walked over to the end of the room and slowly opened the closet door.
“Uhmm. I don’t think I can use clothes as a weapon.” I said more confused than ever.
“Move the clothes aside” She rolled her eyes as she walked to stand next to me.
I moved the clothes aside and all I could manage was a gasp because right there behind the clothes were more of those poles except they looked more, clean and they also looked like they could cause more damage.
“Ugh why do you have these in here?” I was more than curious to see what she used these for.
“Relax. They aren’t used as weapons but they can be. They were part of a desk I broke.” She said it like people keep poles in their closet every day, But I was looking for a weapon and looks like I found one.
“Okay then.” I said reaching for one of the poles “Let’s get out of here. T.J. is waiting for us.” I began walking fast towards the door with Cassandra right behind me.
“Wait, Who’s T.J.?”
“A guy.” a second later I added “Backoff I have dibs.”

Chapter One: The Outbreak. -By Clare Colleti

How it all started was pretty unbelievable, A one person just wanted to try and cure HIV, A good deed that would turn all of Washington into hell.

I was sitting in my room trying out the new Left 4 Dead game, just beat the first level when I heard a scream, not several just one faint little scream. I thought nothing of it really, went back to my game and thought maybe someone saw a spider. Living on a campus there tended to be a lot of false alarms and dumb pranks so I tried never to get involved. But soon after that people were breaking down my door and shining bright lights in my face and yelling “Were you bitten?” and “Did you come in contact with any blood?” I was in shock, partly because I was just about to get a seriously awesome kill on a tank but they had to come barging into my room and grabbed me. They took blood, and I faintly heard someone say “She’s Clear” after they heard that they put me down and said come with us. I was pretty sure it was just a really elaborate prank so I was going to say “bite me” and go back to my game but than I heard more people some freaking out, others asking why this was happening, one guy even ran yelling “You wont take me alive” I knew there was something wrong and I needed to know what. I grabbed my jacket and a back pack of things I thought I would need. As I started for outside I saw it…A freshly killed corpse, one shot right to the head right where I would try to get a zombie in the game, at first I wanted to scream, but then I just laughed, I figured I was dreaming that I just fell asleep while playing the game and it got to my head ( wouldn’t be the first time) but when I pinched myself it really hurt so I knew I wasn’t dreaming, I wanted to freak out but I kept my cool and kept walking. I was escorted to a vehicle along with 5 other people. Erica who is your typical 5’6” thin blonde, with perfect everything was fixing her makeup while Greg a nerd film major with thick black glasses and crazy red hair filmed her and asked her questions like “what do you believe is going on?” She said in her simply annoying voice ” That’s simple, the government wants us to help them against a terrorist attack.” I wanted to smack her.
I knew that this was no terrorist attack but the beginning of the one thing everyone took very lightly, The zombie apocalypse but we had nothing to fear, it seemed to be under control, or so I really wanted to think. I was wrong of course, turns out that over 300 people had already been infected and that the government had barricaded the whole city off and was not letting anyone out unless they were cleared, Unfortunately it turned out that our driver, was scratched and slowly started to turn right in front of us. As I watched this man cough up blood and gasp for air, I knew there was nothing I could do, I wasn’t even CPR trained, I failed the course twice. Everyone else was running around like chickens with their heads cut off, except this one guy, I had never seen him before he had dark brown hair and bright blue eyes that sparkled even in the darkness, (Yes I was crushing; crushing hard.) As I watched him, he stood their calm, watching as if he was waiting for this man to die like he knew what he had to do if the driver arose wanting to eat every one of us. I didn’t hear anymore gasping so I quickly took my eyes off of the mysterious hunk and planted my sight on the now dead driver, but he was no dead for long at all. It took 5 minutes for him to open his eyes which were now white and glazed over, he didn’t just gradually sit up, he looked at me and jumped up as if I was a happy meal he really was craving, I was stuck, in shock of literally seeing a dead person get up and come at me, as if it was just a movie. He was no more than 5 inches from almost getting to me when I heard a loud noise as if a batter in a baseball game just hit a ball coming at him at 50mph. I watched as the the driver fell to the group and could see his skull was shattered, and the back of his head completely smashed in and bloody. I looked up from the drivers now really dead body at the hunky mystery man who had a bloody metal bat in his hands still in the batting stance, He looked at me and said, My name’s T.J and your welcome. I had wanted to just run up and kiss this man, this man who just saved me from being a meal to that zombie, but I held it together and just said my names Kaity. I asked him how he knew that was going to happen, and why he was prepared, He told me that he was walking back to his dorm from staying late at the batting cages when he saw a girl eating her roommate, He watched as she took bite after bite of the girls meaty flesh and as he ran up to her and pounded her head in several times, he knew that she was probably not the only one and that he needed to go and save other people from becoming a value meal. The others ran off except for Erica, Greg, a hysterical girl who was just walking back and forth saying “were going to die” over and over again, her brother who was just trying to get her to calm down, T.J and myself. I asked T.J what he thought we should do and he looked at me and said “grab anything you can use as a weapon and aim for the head, Were going to get the fuck out of this town.”

About Cassandra

Before the zombie attack Cassandra was doing well in school. She was surprised she even got into this college. It was all Kaity even though she would never admit it to her face or anyone else. Kaity was the reason Cassandra was there in the first place. During high school they would always study together. Kaity always made Cassandra study. She knew what Cassandra was capable of when no one else did. Cassandra was the one who didn’t believe in herself. Neither did her parents, or her older brother. They didn’t know what went on at school. They never asked so she never told them. Kaity kept her at her best. She was the rock in their friendship. She wasn’t picked on at school or anything like that. She decided to blend in at school her Freshman year in college. She started wearing all dark colors nothing bright. In college she doesn’t have to be with her family, only during breaks but she mainly stays at the dorm if the dean allows her too. She is doing well in college she is a B and C student just like Kaity. She got her studying habits from Kaity. ‘Study fast, retain as much information you can as possible’ She can almost hear Kaity saying it right beside her sometimes when she needs to be ready for an exam. There is another part to what she says about studying ‘Do it fast so we have more time to play video games!’ Ah Kaity, she would sometimes reminisce about their good times together but she give Kaity the cold shoulder Freshman year and ever since they haven’t said more then 10 words to each other. They can’t hold a conversation any more. After high school everything ended for them. It at least ended for Cassandra. That summer Kaity vacationed with her family in Canada, where she always wanted to go. Cassandra was left behind. The final year she really needed Kaity to be there for her, so she wouldn’t have to be with her family all the time with them talking her down. She was more than excited when she got accepted to this college. She couldn’t pack fast enough. All she had to do was wait to be able to move into the dorms. Kaity was the only one who knew everything about Cassandra. Even the things about her family and how she was talked down to. It was the reason Kaity kept her at her best because she knew Cassandra believed in herself and needed reason to believe in herself. All of it changed Freshman year in high school. Kaity tried to confront her but Cassandra and her new wardrobe quietly walked away with a roll of the yes and the cold shoulder. She couldn’t let Kaity in again. Not after she left her to survive her family on her own. She knew it wasn’t her fault, but she needed someone to blame. Cassandra has always wanted to help people in need but it seemed as if Kaity was doing all the helping for her. She got threw her Freshman year in college just fine without Kaity. She knew she could do it again, with Kaity’s voice cheering her on inside her head, she could get through anything with Kaity. Now she didn’t have Kaity anymore, all that was left were the voices of her old best friend cheering her on. She still had problems with her family and still no one knew. She still wonders if Kaity worries about her family issues or worries about how she is doing in school like she used to. She has friends, just none cared for her as much as Kaity used to. During this zombie invasion though she still tries to push Kaity away. She’ll go to desperate measures to keep Kaity away. She doesn’t want to depend on her like she used to. She can handle herself. She feels as Kaity resents her now, and that’s how Cassandra wants Kaity to feel. She purposely tries to upset her so they will not have a chance of being friends again. She can’t risk being left behind again.
