"What do we do now" asked Jenna, Donavan looks at the number of survivors and saw that all of the survivors were staring at the three people who has saved their lives who were Jenna, Cayden and himself "were just gonna have to wait here in the building until we are rescued" said Donavan. Donavan looked deeper into the crowd of people and sure enough Donavan see's Xavier who is still alive with not a single drop of blood on him but he also sees the girl who he saved earlier which was a relief.
Donavan took a few steps toward the fatigued, tired and bloody group of people and after taking a deep breath Donavan mustered all of his courage and said "uh hi everyone um my name's Donavan and these two people next to me are Jenna and Cayden and with the three of us together we were able to block off all the windows and the doors that lead to the stairs so the monsters won't be able to enter this floor" after Donavan said those words he instantly gain the attention of the audience.
When Donavan saw that everybody was staring at him he was not nervous at all for some reason which surprised him but he had to keep talking. "I think the best course of action now is to try and hold up in this floor until some sort of rescue is able to come" after a few seconds of silence an unknown voice came from the group of people "do you know how were gonna try and hold up in this floor, what are we gonna eat and what if rescue doesn't come" Donavan thought about the question and said what everybody was thinking but to scare to say and especially do.
"Were gonna eat the mutated birds that we just killed and I know that it sounds gross and they might not be edible but it's probably our best chance of survival, as for water and bathrooms the bathrooms and water fountains are probably still functioning in this floor, don't worry I will be the first one to try and eat the mutated bird meat." Donavan walked up to a bird which was about 4-5 feet and with his dagger he cut off one of the birds wing and watched the dark colored blood ooze out of the wing.
Donavan stripped the feathers off of the wing of the bird and to his surprise the skin of the bird was still a normal color which brought Donavan's hope of the birds still being edible. After Donavan finished stripping of the feathers off of the wing in front of the people he quickly went into one of the classrooms and picked out a random book off of the shelf and he carried a desk after that he ran back to the group of people. He stripped off a few pages of the book and placed it on the desk but he realized that he needed something to cook the birds meat so he looked into the crowd and asked "is anyone here able to use fire magic" the crowd looked amongst each other trying to find anyone who was a fire mage and after a few seconds someone finally stepped up.
To Donavan's surprise the one who stepped up was in fact a male teacher named Mr. Csuy who was known for being very strict in his classes and he has kicked multiple kids out of his class for talking while he was teaching. He was wearing glasses and just like most male staff in the school he was a bit over weight, he was also wearing a button up shirt but it was splattered with a bit of the mutated birds pitch black blood. Mr. Csuy stopped in front of Donavan's desk and Donavan said "can you please use your fire magic to light the paper on this desk on fire" Mr. Csuy held his wand in his hand and placed it just a love the pile of paper and a small, dim, warm light started to form at the top of the wand and it created a small spark that once it made contact with the paper it quickly created a small fire.
Donavan stabbed his dagger into the giant bird wing and placed it above the fire to let it cook. After several minutes it looked ready, Donavan took his dagger out of the wing and stared at the giant bird wing for a while until finally biting into it. Everybody was watching Donavan take a bite into the giant mutated bird wing and to their surprise he was fine, although he could suffer from food poisoning after some time it was their only choice of survival so everybody rushed to the dead birds in the ground.
"I knew this would happen" thought Donavan, Donavan saw that everybody was rushing towards the dead birds on the ground fighting each other for the bigger piece of flesh like they were wild animals. Donavan knew that even if he did try to stop them he wouldn't be able to but he should at least try so as Donavan was about to open his mouth to try to reason with the starving wild animals he was interuppted by a voice to his right.
"What the h*** are you guys doing" Donavan and everybody turned around to see that the intimidating, demanding voice was coming from Cayden who also had a bulky amount of muscle in his which just intimidated them even more and fortunately the group of people did listen to Cayden. "Thank god Cayden spoke up instead of me, if I was the one who spoke up they probably wouldn't have listened" Thought Donavan. The group of people instantly stopped butchering the meat if the birds and looked at Cayden.
"Are you guys stupid we have to ration out the bird meat as long as possible, we can't just eat all of the birds in one day." After Cayden finished talking an unfamiliar voice was heard in the crowd "are you stupid we can't preserve meat without some sort of freezer" when Donavan heard the word freezer he had an idea "no you are stupid" replied Donavan "we can preserve the meat, is anybody here able to use ice magic."
A hand was raised inside the group of people and a females voice was heard "I'm able to use ice magic." the voice came from a female student who had black hair and was wearing a pair of black glasses. Donavan looked at the girl and realized that he didn't know her name and so he asked for it "Hi can I get your name" the girl stared back at Donavan and replied "it's clara" Donavan looked at the girl named Clara and came up with the conclusion that she probably already knew what he was gonna ask her to do.
"Um I'm guessing you already know what I'm gonna ask of you right" the girl named Clara then replied "you want me to freeze the bird meat am I correct" Donavan replied "yes you are correct but I think we should properly strip the feather off of the bird and properly cut the bird into pieces before freezing it" Clara then replied "I'm fine with that" and with that Donavan, Jenna and Cayden split the survivors into groups of three.
Group 1 is Jenna's, group 2 is Cayden and group 3 is Donavan. Donavan thought that it would be best if they created groups so that they could watch more people at the same time just in case one of them decides to steal a piece of meat. After what felt like several hours they finally finished butchering the birds and Clara was able to freeze the bird meat. "We should probably store the pieces of meat into a room and have Cayden watch the room at all times so no one has any funny ideas of stealing any pieces of meat" Donavan thought but things usually don't go this smoothly especially at a time like this.
