Isaiah
Day 0, 12:30pm
"Jesus Christ man are you ok?" Joe ran up to me after Thorton took off.
"Go shut that door so he doesn't come back in." I answered back. He nodded and ran to do so. The sound of the glass crunching beneath his feet could be heard over my raging heart. I stood up as Joe slammed the door shut, Tez came up to me as i was checking myself for any kind of damage.
"You good?" I nod as I run my hand over a bruise on my back.
"I guess that means there not all like slow dumb zombies." I say as i survey the damage
Thorton inflicted. "At least we don't need his keys anymore."
"Guys we got company." Say a guy holding a spear. He pointed down the hall at a group of 10 or so freaks walking towards us.
"Shit." I mutter under my breath. "Get in formation!" I yell to the group.
The others got into place as the group came toward us. This time i wanted to vent my anger of getting caught off guard so i went to confront the group head on.
"Come on you ugly bastards," I say under my breath. "Show me what you got."
I charged toward them breaking their loose group even more. I hit them from the back exploding skulls left and right.
I was so caught up in the bloodlust I didn't notice a figure bolt from down the hall and tackle me to the ground until the last second.
I had my bat in between us as I kept the figure off of me at arms length. It was the captain of the football team, Alijah Miranda , his mouth was covered in blood and black tinged saliva as he gnashed his teeth at me savagely.
His eyes were the same pitch black as Thorton's, confirming him to be different. I couldn't do anything as I kept him at bay with the bat against his neck, the other slow ones began to surround me, noticing a free meal.
"Uh guys, a little help?" I said as I kept my gaze on Alijah. In a few seconds Tez came running through the crowd and sliced off the top of his head like a soft boiled egg, letting dark brain matter leak all over me.
"Fuckin' nasty…" I say as I take Cortez's hand and stand up. The chair/spear team cleans up the rest of the fucks around us and I finally manage to take a breather.
"Thanks." I say to Cortez with a little embarrassment.
"Stop being a dumbass, stupid." He said with a joking punch to the arm.
I nodded and looked down the hall at the crowd steadily coming towards us.
"Shit!" I say under my breath as I take in the mini horde. "Everyone stay in position and back up with me!" I yell and start to jog back the way we came from.
We were all sweating bullets as the group of forty or more came shambling towards us. I slowly had us back up towards the stairs we came down making sure they followed us, I wanted to create a bottleneck on the stairs so that we could take advantage of the uneven playing field.
"Shields form a line on the landing of the first flight of stairs, I want you to hold the group in place as spears stab them from behind. If you feel like you're getting overwhelmed feel free to send them back down." I watched as they did what I said. I looked at Cortez as he spoke.
"What can i do Mr. General, sir? " He saluted with a wild smile on his face. I rolled my eyes.
"I want you to grab the chairs and desks from your classroom and bring them over to me. If I see stuff getting too hairy for them I'm gonna send some down from the balcony." I pointed to the railing above me as I began walking up the second flight of stairs. The balcony faced the window, with the first flight of stairs right below it, making it a perfect spot to drop shit on to the crowd.
"Sir yes sir!" He saluted again, sheathed his blades and ran up the stairs taking three at a time.
I got up to the balcony and watched as the two groups clashed below me.
