Episode 13: Goodbye Emily
After recieving the mission notification Kilr and Narci made their way to the school pool. The only thing that brought them solace was the fact that electricity still worked throughout the school, the bulbs were all shining bright down the hall.
Kilr glanced down at his phone to check the time. "Almost ten?" Me muttered back to himself and hid it back in his pocket. He looked back over his shoulder again to Narci, she looked a bit tired. "I think the pool is around the next turn!"
Kilr was not one to start conversations but if she fell asleep that would be his loss.
Narci failed to suppress a deep yawn. "Yep! What do you think is there?"
Kilr could see blood stains on the walls and floor, the deeper they went the more blood stains that appeared. He gripped his sword tighter as they approached the last turn, he could hear the moaning of a woman on the other end of it.
"I think I hear something!" Narci's words fell on deaf ears again.
Kilr shifted his weight cautiously and leaned over to see a female student with thick blond hair dresser in a blue swim suit. She lay on the floor moaning as three other females in similar swimsuit tore through her flesh like animals.
Blood gushed from her hands and legs as she squirmed in pain. Her face looked rather beautiful, her eyes white with fear. "No Misa! Why?" She cried as she lay helplessly on the floor.
Kilr had no intention of helping in anyway, he wished he could block out those pitiful moans. This was bound to happen, people eating other people! Kilr was no hero, neither did he have any intention of being one.
Narci was enraged by the putrid sight that she charged out with her sword drawn. Kilr made no moved to assist in any way, he only watched from the side.
"Die!!" Narci screamed as she beheaded the first zombie. A moment later a second head goes plopping on the ground and rolling towards Kilr who kicked it away with disgust.
Narci raised her sword to kill the last zombie.
"Wait!" Cried the blond girl as she clinged tight to the last zombie. "Don't hurt Misa, she's just sick!"
Narci flinched and watched the zombie turn and bit into the blond girls neck. She could hear the tearing of flesh very clearly as thick red blood started to flow out from her neck. Even then the blond haired girl still persisted.
"Please, don't kill her!"
Narci was conflicted by what to do but the sight of the zombie eating up a living berson before her was… deeply unsettling. "I have to kill her now!" She regained her from and brought down her sword for the zombies head.
The blond haired girl cried and said. "She's my sister!"
"What?" Narci's sword stopped just inches away from the zombies neck. Now that she looked at it the zombie looked identical to her, more like twins. Narci could not tell how painful it was for the blond girl to have her sister turned. "Your sister is gone!"
The zombie pulled out several veins from her neck and chewed it up in it's mouth. Narci could not hear to watch this any longer. The blonde haired girl seemed to understand as she close her eyes and pulled the zombie closer to herself till their cheeks touched.
"Do us both!" The words escaped her lungs.
Narci froze with shock, could she really kill two sisters at the same time? Could she kill a human? If Kilr was there what would he do? She thought deeply. "She's going to turn either way!" She guessed that was what he would say but still… It was a hard decision to make!
Narci's drew in a deep breath and said, "What is your name?"
"E- Emily." The girl said in a hoarse tone as the started to claw at her breast.
Narci raised her sword and steel her resolve.
"Goodbye Emily!"
She swooped her sword in the air and cut off both sisters heads. Her hands felt oddly heavy, her heart tightened in her chest. She did was she had to do yet why did it hurt so much?
Kilr grabbed her by the wrist and shook her back to reality. "We have to go!!" When she failed to respond he pulled her into a sprint and ran as fast as he could. "S**t!" He cursed at the sight behind him.
A large number of zombies came roaring their way like insects. Narci's snapped back to reality at the sight.
"Where did they come from?" She screamed.
Kilr let go of her hand and ran ahead. "How the hell should I know?"
The entrance to the school pool was just ahead.
They ran as fast as they could and and reached the door, Kilr reached for the handle and prayed they door was not locked. His heart flushed when he heard a click.
The zombies roared at them as they gained more speed.
Kilr pushed the door open and pulled Narci in. He slammed it shut behind him, luckily he could lock it from the inside. Multiple zombies banged at the door so much that Kilr thought it would be torn open.
"Umm Kilr! I think we have a problem!" Narci tapped him.
Kilr swerved around as fast as he could and looked forward to see a huge skimming area with the big pool used for competition. Hundreds of waiting chairs and a scene of a bloodbath but this was not what his companion was hinting at.
At a corder of the room was a huge red oval cocoon dripping blood. The cocoon looked like raw flesh lasted together and glued to the ground.

-------------------
Kilr was sure this was what the system wanted them to destroy. A new zombie Species was being born and only they could stop it.
The cocoon thumped twice then a hand started to cut through it causing Kilr to gulped down hard. "This is not good!"
