Running down the hall way I cut my way through zombies. Turning one corner I saw the double doors to the auditorium. With an extra burst of speed I ploughed through the doors and landed on one knee. But stopping was the last thing at the moment
Blood.
More blood than I had seen in a long time had literally covered the linoleum floor so much that I was making waves in it. There were corpses everywhere, dismembered,torn apart,eaten and much worse. It was like a slaughter house no a butcher house. I Immediately I scanned the whole area for the zombie but I didn't see it. In fact I didn't see anyone or anything apart from corpses.
"What in the hell?," I said in a low tone. I walked around, lowering my sword a bit.
A mistake.
Something dropped down on me,smacking me hard across the head and sending me flying into the bleachers and corpses. The zombie roared at me as I got up groggily. I rubbed my head and spat blood as I stood up.
"That", I began as I walked out of the debris pile,"Was the biggest mistake of what's about to be a very short life", I finished twirling my sword as I did. The zombie seemed to grin though half it's jaw was missing. It raised a bloody clawed hand and screeched.
Immediately I was surrounded by a group of thirty zombies dropping from the ceiling and from the exits. That sneaky bastard had lured me in. Well if he thought that was gonna work he had while other thing coming.
The zombie grinned again and screeching the others jumped me. It wasn't easy dodging them especially since a wound from them would and could slow me down or in a worst case scenario kill me.
That was if I took too many bites or scratches beyond my healing capacity. And that wasn't good.
It was mad dash of dodging and sliding to avoid the damn things. I cut the head off one of them before getting speared down by another. I threw my dagger in another direction entirely, teleporting to it instantly as the other zombies rushed me.
I immediately checked myself for any scratches or bites and heaved a sigh of a relief as I saw all was good.
I'd only managed to kill one of the thirty and it wasn't looking good. I leaped into the air as they rushed me again. As I looked up however I realised too late that patient zero was waiting for me fist balled. With a deafening smack I was sent flying into the bleachers again. I coughed blood and clenched my teeth as I tried to get up. Staying down any longer than a second meant instant death. Just as I was getting up two zombies leaped down on me. I dodged the first while blocking the open jaw of the second with my katana.
I twisted the blade one-eighty slicing it's head in half as I did so. I rolled again as the second leaped at me again, fist balled and ready to strike.
I back flipped to my feet and leaped back again as It dove for me again.I turned around just in time to see another zombie leap at me from behind. I back flipped mid air touching it's rotten skin and soiled party dress as I used it as a launch pad to land on my feet.
I punched another right through the skull killing it instantly. Raising my bloody hand I back handed another.
I had forgotten that I could kill these things with my Bare hands. plus they were slower than me.
The only problem was that they outnumbered me and had damn quick reflexes which allowed them to jump me easily from any angle.
And patient jack ass was circling around throwing cheap shots at me whenever he could. I couldn't get to him with all these bastards running around like a bunch of house flies on shit.
I needed to bait him but how. I leaped into the air again sliding my sword into the sheath at my back as I did.
Holding my arm I fired scatter shots of fire balls at them killing a group of them rather easily. I had wanted to avoid using magic bit I guess I could avoid using massive shots and stick to small fry attacks.
Landing on the ground, frost appeared under my boots sending a surge of red spikes impaling another group through their heads.
With a spin kick, I released a trail of fire around me like a circular blade blowing a way more of them.
At that point there were only a handful of them left including Patient jackass. He ran at me screeching and roaring with his entourage right behind him.
Raising my hands In a mock form of surrender I slammed them on the ground creating a small earth quake. The ground ripped open and raised itself up scattering the remaining zombies.
I saw patient zero spiraling in mid air and with one swift motion, I leaped towards him with all the force I had.
He realized his mistake too late and tried to use his hands to block.
With a cry of defiance I cut his hands and head clean off and landing on one of the raised debris watched it hit the ground and explode into ashes.
" Go to hell", I said in a disgusted tone.
I leaped down landing on my knees. I wished the remaining zombies, if any were still around would die since the source was dead but sadly that wasn't the case. I'd have to take care of them myself.
I left the auditorium and casted a locator spell which could help me track down the survivors. I followed the glowing blue tracer at a steady pace. I'd damaged the school with the earth spell or most of it so the ground was cracked open in many places.
I leaped over a wide semi ravine. Now I knew something was up. I'd k own my earth magic would have some effects on the school but this went beyond what I'd done.
I was starting to get a bad feeling about the situation now. The tracer suddenly disappeared, stopping at the top of stairs....
Which led to a very deep hole.
I screwed up my face not liking this at all. There was no way there were survivors down there. Or had they jumped down there. Angel high also ran a hunter course but it wasn't as good as ours or many others around.
I checked my watch. It was ten pm. I tapped my ear com again. "Trisha.Trisha you read me", I said.
" yeah I do. What's the situation now. You find the survivors yet", She asked.
" I'm fine by the way. Thanks for asking", I said sarcastically.
" Oh grow a pair. You gonna cry because I didn't ask if you're fine. Well you're talking fine and the monitor from your earphone says you're vitals are fine so why would I ask?", Trisha said simply.
I rolled my eyes at that.
" I haven't found the hostages but I think I know where they are. I think there's something more sinister going on here. There's a huge hole down there and it's not looking nice either. I've made quick work of the zombie with some difficulty and I think the people are down the hole", I explained.
Trisha sighed over the com.
" So what's the next move?", she asked.
I cracked my neck and looked down the hole with all the seriousness I could muster and said " well I'm going down there".
I could feel Trisha grin through the com. " Well then try not to die then. Good luck. And I'm serious about not dying. There's no telling what's going on down there", Trisha cautioned.
" Don't worry. I don't intend to. I've got someone waiting for me tomorrow", I said solemnly.
Trisha laughed a little.
" Well then I guess I do t have to say more", She added.
And with that I leaped head first I to the whole like a bullet.
