Prologue...
The triplets arrived as they notice their materia jewelry don't work here.
Dawn: Not good...How are we going to get to the land of Squarenix?
Dusk: Oh bummer, well this place looks like shit and run down.
Twilight: Well, we have the key machine we just need to wind it...Once the timer is up it'll open a portal.
Dawn: That could take a while, for now should locate a place for shelter.
Dusk: Yeah? Wher-
They paused as they heard growling and moaning as a herd of zombies appeared, however they can move fast! As they chased the three. As the three blinked and ran off now.
Couple of days later...The world has changed. This land were people were born and raised, was taken over...
Dawn, Twilight and Dusk ran in the night to avoid more zombies.
Apparently, this all started with a violent protestors...the government collapse and the virus that turns people into zombies came about...To be infected the simple scratch or bite will turn someone. Symptoms arises within the hour...However, there is still no cure.
Days later...The Triplets went from one house to the other and traveled to avoid any zombies. One early morning they would resume their walk once more.
The three notice around the part of town there was in was quiet and no sign of life anywhere.
Dusk: Ugh...This is the @#$%^.
Twilight: Well...We are low on food...
Dawn: We need to keep moving, after all the information we manage to find out while moving, can't let those things come at us.
Later...The three would enter a abandoned grocery store.
Dawn, Dusk and Twilight started to stuff their bags with food and water. Suddenly, they heard a grow as Dusk said after.
Dusk:.......@#$%.
Dawn: How many...?
Twilight: 3! run!
The triplets ran as the zombies chase right after them with such speed too!
Haven: THIS WAY!
The three blinked as they ran over to a door that just opened towards him.
Haven manage to kick one of the zombies on top of the other two as he said after concerned.
Haven: You guys alright?
Dawn: ....
Twilight: Uh...
Dusk: Who are you?
Edison stood there with a hoodie having dark blonde hair and red eyes. As he would say annoyed.
Edison: Shouldn't you say...Thank you...First?
Zion used his pipe like a staff and whack one of the zombies head right off it's shoulders, glaring a bit.
Zion: Forget it, we've got no time. We have to move.
Ezra bashed a zombie's skull open as it dropped dead. All he did was nod.
Lawson had a dark coat on with black hair, glasses and dark eyes as he asked concerned.
Lawson: Are you guys hurt?
Dawn: No...
Lawson: Good, let's get moving, before any more of them get here.
Edison sighed.
Edison: I think there might already be more on the way.
Zion saw the horde of zombies appeared as he gritted his teeth and yelled.
Zion: Damn it! Run!!
Zion grabbed Twilight's wrist as Twilight blinked and ran yanking him hard as Twilight stumble and ran to catch up.
The others ran after the two as they all ran from the grocery store.
Chapter 1
Zion saw Twilight stumbled as he growled and waited shaking his arm a bit to get him to move.
Zion: Don't fall! Come on! You need to hurry!
Twilight: Uh...right, sorry!
The others caught up as they all ran together now from the army of zombies.
Haven and Ezra would slam the gate shut now, as the triplets pause running and blinked a bit at the situation.
Edison: Ugh! I told you we shouldn't have gotten involved.
A zombie manage to get in after we shut the gate as Dawn blinked.
Dawn: One is coming!
Ezra slammed it's head to nothing with the baseball bat now. Glaring as he said seriously.
Ezra: Hurry!
Everyone ran further ahead now to the building up ahead. Lawson called out.
Lawson: Ezra, Stop what you're doing. Come on!
Ezra nodded and followed.
Haven: Get inside quick!
Haven called at the doorway now to the abandoned school building.
Everyone went inside, once inside Haven shut it and locked the door now.
Zion: Oh, @#$%. That was close!
Zombies banged on the door, but couldn't get in now.
Haven walked to the triplet and smiled as he said lightly.
"You three alright?"
Dusk stood up and said.
Dusk: We're fine...What about you? Did ya get hurt?
Haven: I'm fine, did you get hurt?
Dusk: No, dude.
Dawn: We're well thanks, Twilight?
Twilight: Yeah, I'm good.
Haven smiled with relief.
Haven: I'm glad to see you weren't harmed.
Zion snapped at them.
Zion: Yo, stop being so lame and let's go inside! Everyone already went further ahead.
We all then enter more into the school building and headed inside now.
Edison: So, why the heck did we even help them?
He said annoyed.
Edison: You guys almost got us killed, damn it!
Lawson said seriously.
Lawson: Hey, be nice. Anyone would've done the same in that situation.
Edison: This is so annoying!
Zion arched a brow.
Zion: Are you ever not annoyed? Just be quiet, man. I'm tired.
Dusk narrowed her eyes as Dawn said after.
"Pardon...I'm Dawn, this is my sister, Dusk and my brother Twilight."
Haven smiled and said after.
Haven: I'm Haven.
Dusk: What?
Haven: My name. I'm Haven.
Haven put a hand out with a kind smile. As Dusk sighs shaking his hand.
Haven: What's your name, again?
Dusk: Dusk.
Haven said happily.
Haven: Wow! That's such a beautiful name.
Dusk: Huh? Seriously?
Haven: Yeah, definitely.
Lawson walked over as he said after.
Lawson: Hey, what are you guys still doing here?
Haven: Just getting acquainted. Since I feel like we're gonna stay together here for a while.
Edison: Knowing people's names aint going to keep you alive, you know.
Haven: Don't say that. It's kind of nice that we all met.
Zion: Nice? Urgh!
Zion rolled his eyes.
Lawson said politely.
Lawson: My name is Lawson.
Dawn shook his hand.
Dawn: I'm Dawn.
Lawson: You look familiar, wonder if we met before. Well, anyway. Everyone here has been hiding in the school. We are all pretty much in our 20s.
Dawn: Ah I see, good to know.
Dawn looked to Ezra as Lawson said after.
Lawson: Ezra.
Ezra arched a brow and look to them.
Lawson: Why don't you tell our new friends your name?
Ezra said after a moment of quiet to Dawn.
Ezra: Ezra.
Dawn smiled.
Dawn: Nice to meet you, Ezra. Thanks for saving me back there.
Ezra nodded.
Zion said to Twilight and the others after.
Zion: Hey, my name is Zion. Don't cause any trouble, like earlier.
He'd warn.
Twilight blinked and just said after.
Twilight: Oh...Well...I'll try my best.
Lawson: Hey, Edison. You're not going to introduce yourself?
Edison: Man...I don't feel like it. This is so pointless!
Dawn would say after.
Dawn: I just want to get along.
Edison: Wow, how pointless and pathetic! Even if we did get along
Dusk glared as did Lawson.
Edison: Okay, okay! It's Edison. Don't overstay your welcome though.
After saying those harsh words, Edison walked away.
Lawson: Haha...Just shrug it off. Edison's got a rough tongue. I'll apologize on his behalf, why don't you come in?
Dawn: You don't need to apologize.
A classroom was opened as they entered inside now.
Haven said to the three.
Haven: I noticed you seemed quite uncomfortable around the others. Have you guys been on your own this whole time?
Dusk: Huh? Oh yeah...
Haven frowned.
Haven: I see....Must have been tough.
Twilight frowned as Zion narrowed his eyes a bit.
Zion: What? Are you crying? For goodness sake! We freaking saved you, and now you're crying?
Twilight blinked at him and waved his hands.
Twilight: Ah...No, I'm just...Sorry, was just deep in thought.
Lawson: Zion.
Zion: Come on! Don't you think it's too much? They aren't the only one having a hard time. You don't think this is hard on us? No one here is without problems, man.
Lawson snapped back.
Lawson: Who says we are? Just stop.
Dusk cracked her knuckled but Haven put a hand on her shoulder as he said lightly.
Haven: It's all right. It's all good. You can be yourself here, don't need to pretend to be something you're not.
Dusk: Huh? Oh. I see.
Zion: I swear- Yeah, yeah..I get it. I'm the @$$hole who can't sympathize with people. Well, this @$$hole is going to hit the bed.
Zion would leave now.
Twilight sighed as he said after.
Twilight: Sorry. It's just...I didn't think something like this would happen, it's quite horrible.
Haven agreed.
Haven: I'm sure it is, but the good thing is we're all fine now. Eventually, things will get better.
Twilight: Thank you, Haven.
Dusk: How about you guys? Don't ya got anyone you miss or something?
Haven: Of course. I lost my mother. I sure do miss her.
Lawson sighed.
Lawson: I miss my family, too. But...I don't think about them much anymore. It's more important to focus on staying alive.
Dawn: How about you, Ezra?
Ezra shrugged.
A door suddenly opened. A asian girl with short black hair and light brown eyes, with glasses entered...
Sen: Phew...That was close.
A dark skinned man with brown hair and dark eyes entered after.
Jim: Yeah, we're lucky to still be alive.
A girl with auborn hair and gray eyes entered, looking nervous.
Hannah: Oh, you guys are back too? Thank goodness, you guys are all right.
Lawson asked after.
Lawson: Did something happen?
Jody walked in, a girl with dark brown hair, hazel eyes, with native american clothes.
Jody: Oh my gosh! You guys won't believe this! We were just walking into this convenience store and all of a sudden, this pack of zombies just-
Dawn: Hm...
Jody waved happily to Dawn.
Jody: Oh hey! You remind me of my best friend!
Dawn smiled as she said after.
Dawn: Oh nice, I'm Dawn.
Jody hugged her after.
Jody: I'm Jody! Nice to meet you oh and others!
Dawn introduced them once more.
Jim looked confused.
Jim: Uh...What's up with them?
Edison: What the? I just came to check out what they had bought back. What's with the soap opera? Man, that's it for me here. I'm really leaving now!
Lawson said after.
Lawson: Stay close by.
Edison: Yes, sir! I don't want to die, you know.
Edison left once more now just as soon as he entered the room.
Jody: So, tell me what was your journey like?
Dusk: Honestly, ya guys are the first people we met.
Jody: Well, I'd say that's a good thing!
Twilight: I'm glad we got to meet each other.
Jody: Definitely! Lets do our best to stay alive!
She would say happily.
Hannah: Umm...
The door opened again as a beautiful girl with long raven hair, and red eyes came in.
Skarlet: I'm back. Am I late?
Sen: Hey.
Lawson: We've all been waiting for you, Skarlet.
Skarlet: I noticed all the zombies out by the front gate. So I thought I would check them out for a bit.
Haven blinked.
Haven: You shouldn't. That's too dangerous.
Hannah: I got a question.
Skarlet blinked as she said suspiciously.
Skarlet: What the? What's with the new face? I said! Why the hell is there newcomers here?!
Hannah nodded.
Hannah: I want to know that too...
Lawson said after.
Lawson: I was just about to introduce you. We helped them earlier today.
Dawn said first.
Dawn: Hello, I'm
Skarlet cut her off.
Skarlet: Are you guys even sure they aren't infected?
Dusk rolled her eyes as she moved to Skarlet
Skarlet: Hey! She's got blood on her hand!
Jim looked alarmed.
Everyone stared at the triplets now.
Skarlet yelled.
Skarlet: She's infected, isn't she?!

Chapter 2
Jody cowered a step back now.
Dusk: What?
Skarlet: I asked if you're sure you're not infected. Hey who the hell brought them here?
Jody: Sk-Skarlet! Why are you being so mean to them?! They seem like wonderful new friends!
Skarlet: Friends? Who cares if they are everyone's best friends? What if they turn into a zombie all of a sudden and kill us all? Don't you remember how we just barely were able to get here? So every time we are out, we are going to bring a friend back here?
Lawson narrowed his eyes.
Lawson: Skarlet. We should help others when we can.
Ezra would nod.
Ezra: Yeah, we need survivors.
Skarlet: Oh, is that right? Then, let's say that's the case.
She turned to glare right at Dusk.
Skarlet: So when do you plan to leave?
Dusk glared and said after.
Dusk: What are you saying?
Skarlet: Well, you've been saved, all three of you. Is there anything else you need from us? We're running out of food. And everytime we go outside, we risk our lives to find more. We're not exactly in a place to help others. Am I wrong?
Jim thought on that.
Jim: Isn't she right? We can't just bring people here and drain our resources. I think we should send them out.
Jody exclaimed.
Jody: Are you insane? Don't you know what it's like out there?
Hannah said nervously.
Hannah: I don't think it's such a terrible idea to let them stay.
Lawson tapped Dawn on the shoulder as she looked to him and Lawson said after.
Lawson: You seem to have something to say, right?
Dawn: I...suppose.
Lawson: Haha, I thought as much. Well, I think everyone's ready to listen.
Dawn: Thank you...
Skarlet: Oh my God. You've got to be kidding me! Do you like her or something? Why are you taking her side?
Sen said flatly.
Sen: That's enough, Skarlet. I want to hear what she has to say, too.
Dawn: Well, I know once you are infected, the symptoms arise within an hour.
Ezra would nod.
Ezra: She isn't infected, neither of them are.
Skarlet: How do you know it can't take longer? I can't take that risk!
Sen: Skarlet, let's just hear them out.
Dusk: I'll giv-
Twilight blinked as Dawn cut her off.
Dawn: I know you guys don't want us here, but I promise, we can make ourselves useful here.
Skarlet scoffed.
Dawn: Before I met you all, we did find some food.
Jim said directly.
Jim: Spit it out.
Dawn: We wont hold you guys back, we promise this. I am thankful you guys did help us out back there. Will also make sure not to put you all in danger like that, and we got enough food for us.
Twilight open a bag and showed some buns inside.
Dawn: I can also run fast, Twilight is skilled at home life and Dusk is strong. We can pretty much take care of ourselves, so you can trust us. We can also help you search for more food too. If it's not too much trouble, will you all be willing to let us stay here with you guys?
Skarlet smirked.
Skarlet: You expect me to believe that?
Zion got so annoyed as he barged in and said irritated.
Zion: Man...You guys aren't gonna let me sleep, are you? What's up with all this noise? You are so full of it!
Skarlet grinned.
Skarlet: See? Zion thinks so too-
Zion arched a brow.
Zion: I was talking about you, Skarlet.
Skarlet: What?
Zion: Don't you remember when you first came here? You were begging us, to please believe in you, that you were not infected. Don't you remember?
Skarlet bit her lower lip.
Zion smirked.
Jim said annoyed.
Jim: Why are you bringing that up now? That's in the past, and doesn't relate to what Skarlet's worried about right now. Also, I agree with Skarlet. How can we trust them?
Jody: .......
Sen: Of course we can't be sure of anything right now. But you guys, think about it for a moment. Like or not, we are all in this together. We have to trust each other. If we make anyone leave now, we might face even greater danger later.
Haven concurred.
Haven: I agree. It wouldn't hurt to just wait and see? To find out who they really are. I think they aren't any harm to us. Wel'' find out for sure if we spend more time together.
Hannah: Totally...
Skarlet: Are you saying we should all risk our lives for these random people?
Ezra: Yes, because we are all human. We care.
Sen: That's right. We are nothing like those mindless zombies out there.
Edison came back as he said after now.
Edison: What's up with all the drama in here?
Jim: We were just discussing whether to send these new guys back out.
Edison arched a brow.
Edison: Why?
Jim: Well, you never know if they are infected. Plus, we don't have enough food. We know nothing about them, they might betray us later.
Edison: What's the big deal? We're all going to die soon anyway.
Skarlet scolded.
Skarlet: You're not even remotely worried?!
Edison rolled his eyes.
Edison: Just mind your own life. Who cares who stays here or not?
Skarlet: Argh!
Lawson clapped his hand as it got their attention.
Lawson: Looks like we have a few different opinions. How about we vote on this?
The Triplets blinked.
Edison: Man, is this really necessary?
Zion: Not a bad idea!
Zion smirked.
Skarlet: Voting? Sounds fair.
Skarlet smirked.
Skarlet: I know everyone's totally with me on this. You guys just don't want to say it out loud.
Haven looked at her oddly.
Haven: What? I don't think this is a voting matter. We can think of alternatives. Like, we can let them stay in a different room the first night or something.
Lawson: You know what they say. Majority rules.
Dawn looked at Lawson oddly.
Lawson: We should get ready for the voting then. Ezra, you want to give me a hand, bro?
Ezra nodded.
Lawson: Make up your minds til we get back. So you don't regret your choices.
Lawson stepped out of the classroom with Ezra now.
Skarlet: Is there even any need to think about it?
Everyone would look at each other now as they think on this...
Will the triplets stay? Or will they be kicked out? To be continued...

Chapter 3
Skarlet: If more than half of us vote against them, they are gone. Agreed?
Jody exclaimed.
Jody: Hey, stop being so mean! They are good people and friends, do you treat your friends like that?
Skarlet: Well, why don't you just leave together with your new friends then?
Jim agreed.
Jim: Yeah, that'd be perfect! At least you guys won't be alone.
Jody blinked.
Jody: Are you being serious?
Haven said annoyed.
Haven: You guys, cut it out!
Hannah asked the triplets.
Hannah: Uh...where have you been staying all by yourselves?
Twilight: Oh, well we been hiding in different houses...The ones without anyone in them.
Skarlet: Hey, don't even bother. You're not gonna be able to find out if they are infected.
Hannah blinked a lot.
Skarlet glared.
Skarlet: I don't trust you guys, not even a bit. Don't you get it? Nobody wants you here. I don't understand why we even have to vote. Everyone here is dreading the idea of having to make it through this situation. And I know for a fact that someone like you three will just make it harder.
Edison said annoyed.
Edison: Oh, shut up.
Zion: Let's talk when Lawson and Ezra get back. We'll vote.
Jim: You guys are unbelievable. Skarlet's totally right, isn't she?
Jody: I can't believe you guys are being so selfish.
Haven: ......
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard!
Jody: AHHH!!!
Zion: What was that?
Jim: Oh, shoot, is it more zombies?!
Hannah: Wait! Can't you guys smell something burning?
Skarlet: Oh, that's just great! All this is happening conveniently after you three came here!
Dusk rolled her eyes and went out the door, with Dawn, Twilight and a few others followed to see what that noise was.
Hallway...
Jim: What the?!
Smoke was in the hallways now. There was a classroom with a lot of smoke puffing about as people coughed and the door slid open as two figures ran out.
Lawson: *Cough* Damn it...
Ezra came after and cough a lot from the smoke.
Hannah: Wh-what happened here?!
Ezra: I don't know. Something just exploded.
Skarlet: What!?
Jim: Shouldn't we do something?!
Jody panic too now.
Jody: What should we do?! What should we do?!
Haven: We can't just stand around doing nothing-What the?!
Zion:Hey! What are you doing?!
Haven and Zion blinked as Dusk and Twilight ran ahead into the flaming classroom now.
Dawn followed and blinked as Dusk and Twilight saw flames in the room.
Twilight: Okay...Fire safty...Just need the extingusher...
Dusk: Where is it?!
Twilight looked about and found it but fire got closer as he tossed it to Dusk. Dusk caught it as Dawn got to the doorway now.
Dusk would pill the safety pin and sprayed the whole room now as she coughed a bit as did Dawn and Twilight as Dawn reached to Twilight to move him out of the way as Dusk put out the fire in the classroom.
Zion yelled after.
Zion: Damn it!
Dawn got out of the classroom as did Dusk as all three coughed. Twilight was yanked by Zion and spun around as he was pulled out of the classroom and yelled at.
Zion: What the heck are you doing?
Twilight: I was just trying to *Cough* help put out*Cough* the-
Haven blinked at Dusk as he said after. Scolding her for it.
Haven: You really scared us.
Dusk: *Coughed*I couldn't just stand by and watch.
Edison: Hey, it's all good now. See? No more fire. Why are you getting so angry, Haven?
Haven closed his eyes and sighed.
Haven: ........
Dawn notice it was a small fire as the place just had small dark marks, nothing too damaged.
Edison walked over and open the windows for the smoke to get out.
Twilight fell to his knees as he coughed more to clear his lungs.
Zion: Hey, keep it together!
Zion placed a hand on his shoulder.
Twilight: Sorry...Just too winded to walk at the moment.
Zion: How...did you manage to put out that fire, when you're this weak?
Twilight: I'm as surprised as you are...
Zion: Still, you did it. Are you hurt?
Twilight: No, I'm fine.
Zion: If you actually want to stay alive, then you should act like it and try to stay away from danger. Don't make us worry like that.
Twilight blinked a bit at him.
Zion: How the hell did the fire start, anyway?
Lawson sighed.
Lawson: No clue. I was just looking for some cookies.
Ezra nodded.
Edison: I found a lighter in there.
Edison held a broken lighter.
Lawson: What's that doing here? Was that in that classroom?
Edison: I went in there to open the windows and found it. Man, it still stinks in there.
Zion: It must have exploded by itself.
Dawn found that odd.
Sen: I'm so glad you guys are alright.
Jody: I know, right? What a relief!
Zion: Oh, and by the way...
Zion paused and stared at Twilight and his sisters after, before saying to the others.
Zion: Screw the whole voting thing. Let them stay.
Hannah: I was about to say the same...
Skarlet gasped.
Zion turned to hold a hand to Twilight as Twilight blinked and took his hand as Zion helped him stand up.
Jim sighed.
Jim: Damn it...How could I tell them to leave when you guys are like that?
Lawson: I agree with Zion. They risked their own life to put out that fire. I mean none of us was even attempting to do it.
Ezra: We can't force them to leave.
Skarlet said annoyed now.
Skarlet: This is so annoying.
Sen: Skarlet, come on. You're being selfish.
Jody: Please don't make them leave.
Jody held Dawn and Dusk's hands.
Edison: We could use an extra hand when we go on patrols, don't you think?
Dawn: Patrols?
Edison: You never know what's out there. I mean, this place might look okay but it's basically falling apart. We have had to go around and fix up and maintain it ourselves. There are still some places we haven't managed to check out yet, though.
Dawn: Ah...I see.
Dusk: We can totally do our part on the patrol then.
Haven: I am for it too. You know, them staying.
He smiled.
Haven: As long as they won't get themselves in any more danger.
Dusk: Ugh...Okay.
Twilight: We wont.
Dawn: It's a promise.
Haven smiled lightly.
Jody beamed happily.
Jody: So we are all on the same page?
Lawson: Skarlet, what do you say?
Skarlet bit her lower lip.
Skarlet: Well, what's the point? I'm keeping my eyes on you three. The minute something's off with you. I mean, any slightest sign that bothers me, you three are out. So annoying...
She walked off.
Dawn: Thank you all for letting us stay.
Lawson smiled.
Lawson: Don't mention it.
Twilight: Let me know if there's anything I can help with.
Lawson: Actually, there is one thing you guys can do.
Dusk: Sure, why not? What is it?
Lawson: It's very simple. Get some rest. We all have our own room here. You can pick any empty classroom for yourself too.
Zion: I think all the classrooms on this floor are taken. The only one available was just destroyed in the fire. There is one small one...
Jody: Dawn stay with me! Dusk and Twilight can have the small one next to me!
Dawn: Really? Are you sure?
Jody: Of course! I didn't enjoy being by myself anyway.
Twilight: Oh well, thank you for the offer.
Dusk: Thanks.
Dawn: I really appreciate that.
Jody smiled and showed them to their rooms.
The triplets convinced the others that they are useful and can stay! But what will happen next?

Chapter 4
Jody smiled as she opened the door to the room for her and Dawn after showing Twilight and Dusk next door to them.
Jody: Okay, here we are! You must've been so scared all by yourself with just your siblings.
Dawn: It wasn't that bad. I'm alright.
Jody: Hey. I'm your friend. You can tell me. You don't have to keep it to yourself anymore.
Dawn smiled.
Dawn: Jody, I'm just glad that I met someone as nice as you.
Jody: Me too! Look at you. Your face is covered in ash.
Jody took a small piece of cloth and helped wipe Dawn's face a bit.
Jody: You did a good job putting out that fire back there with your siblings.
Dawn: I just pointed things out mostly...But I'm still a little shock from something like that.
Jody: I know, right? I mean, who would have thought there was a lighter in there? It's weird none of us spotted it before. We would've definitely put it to use.
Dawn wondered.
Dawn: I didn't know that a lighter could be that destructive if it explodes.
Jody: Yeah-It was a strangely big explosion.
Dawn: Hm...But in the end does anything even make sense anymore?
Jody: You're right, it doesn't really.
Jody smiled.
Jody would explain to Dawn how she got here. Then the door suddenly went open!
Skarlet peaked her head as she said after.
Skarlet: Hey, you!
Jody: Don't you know how to knock?
Skarlet: Oh, knock my @$$. This doesn't concern you. It's her I'm here for.
Skarlet glared and pointed at Dawn.
Skarlet: I need to talk to you.
Jody: Now? Can't you wait until tomorrow?
Dawn stared and said after.
Dawn: It's okay, Jody.
Jody: I'm not okay with it! She's only doing this to pester you!
Skarlet: Do you always need to make everyone in this place speak for you? It's gotta be easy, not having to open your own mouth.
Dawn rolled her eyes.
Dawn: I'll be fine. I'll only be a minute.
Skarlet: Who says it'll only be a minute?
Jody: I'll come with you.
Dawn: I want to try and see what is going on with her.
Jody: .......*Sighs* Okay, fine.
Dawn would follow Skarlet out into the hallway.
Dawn: So, what did you want to talk about?
Skarlet: For your information, I'm not here to chit-chat with you. The classroom that was on fire... You know what we kept in there?
Dawn: I remember someone told me it was a storage...
Skarlet: Right.
Dawn: ...So what about it?
Skarlet scowl under her breathe.
Skarlet: Well, thanks to you and your relatives and their little fire extinguisher, all our food is gone. There's a cafeteria on the first floor. I think you should go there and bring back some food.
Dawn: Why does it have to be now?
Skarlet: Why do you think? Because I'm hungry.
Dawn arched a brow.
Dawn: What?
Skarlet: Didn't you say you wanted to make up with me?
Dawn rolled her eyes and walked off...
Dawn would now attempt to go down the stairs to head to the cafeteria, it was dark and cold as it was nightfall. Dawn eventually would make it to the first floor. As she would see moonlight shining into the room. Dawn notice the windows were nailed shut with wood panels. Some windows were broken as a breeze came in.
Dawn paused by the cafeteria hearing a zombie growl. She turned seeing a zombie out the window as she ducked. Which the zombie haven't even notice her while walking by.
Dawn looked ahead and saw a door near the cafeteria, that had a bunch of chairs piled all up on it now.
Dawn thought about this long and hard, but shook her head as she realized this was ridiculous. She would turn around and head back.
Dawn went to head up the stairs as she was startled by a shadow in front of her. Her eyes went huge till the shadow spoked.
Ezra: What are you doing?
Dawn blinked.
Dawn: Ezra?
Dawn had a hand on her chest beating heart going crazy from being startled.
Ezra: What are you doing here?
Ezra gave her a serious stare.
Dawn: ...I'm just getting some food from the cafeteria
Ezra looked confused.
Ezra: For yourself?
Dawn: Well...Yes.
Ezra: I got some chips upstairs if you want. And there's that stuff you brought too, remember?
Dawn arched a brow as she realized there is still food left.
Dawn: Oh, that's right...I forgot.
Ezra: Are you that hungry?
Ezra arched a brow at her.
Ezra: Since it's too dangerous here, let's go back upstairs. We have a meeting soon.
Ezra gestured as he went upstairs and Dawn would follow him now. While, going upstairs, Dawn pointed to a door.
Dawn: Where does that door lead?
Ezra: The middle school building... We, used to stay there. With well more people than now.
Dawn: More people?
Ezra: It was quite peaceful, and no one got hurt either. We were certain that it was safe...But one day, the entrance doors opened, letting zombies into the school somehow.
Dawn: Oh dear...
Ezra: Those of us who survived the attack ran over to this building to hide. And after the zombies left, we blocked the door with anything we could find. As you saw, we didn't have anything better than those chairs and desks. That's why we have to keep patrolling the area.
Dawn: So that means...This floor must be...
Ezra: It's one of the dangerous areas in this building. We don't come down here unless we are on a patrol. I guess I should have told you that.
Dawn now thought about the entire situation here just now.
Later, Ezra and Dawn got into the main classroom. Skarlet was there as she said after.
Skarlet: What took you so long? We can't have the meeting all night.
Jody: ........
Ezra went to the corner and leaned against one of the deak as Dusk and Twilight enter to go by Dawn now.
Dawn ignored Skarlet as she was angry with her, being set up.
Twilight: Sorry, what's the meeting for?
Sen: We were talking about the night watch.
Dusk: Night watch? Like staying awake at night?
Haven: Something like that, yeah. We split into pairs and choose different areas to check out at night.
Hannah: How should we do it? Isn't it... a bit much for the newcomers to do?
Lawson: Do you think you guys can do it?
Dawn: I can.
Twilight: I'll help! I need to get used to my way around here anyway.
Dusk: Yeah, no problem.
Zion: It's not my turn tonight. Remind me what areas need covering tonight?
Edison: The lab on the 3rd floor, the rooftop and uh...
Sen: The schoolyard.
Twilight: Isn't that outside?
Jody: Yeah, but it'll just be a quick look around the building.
Skarlet: What's wrong? Are you scared? So, what's your pick?
Dusk glared and said after to Skarlet.
Dusk: I'll take the schoolyard.
Haven: Are you sure?
Dusk: Somebody has to do it anyway.
Skarlet: ..........
Lawson: Don't worry. You're not going to be on your own. And it really is just a quick stroll around the building. That's it.
Haven: I'm also patrolling the schoolyard tonight. We'll be on the same team.
He smiled.
Ezra: You guys make sure to stay together. Don't lose each other.
Ezra handed Dawn a small candy bar.
Dawn blinked and accepted it as she smiled.
Dawn: Thanks, Ezra.
Jody: Be careful, alright?
Sen: It's going to be fine.
Next...Dusk and Haven will be exploring the school grounds, outside! In the middle of the night. What will happen next?

Chapter 5
Outside the school...
Haven would say.
Haven: If you notice anything weird, you let me know. Okay?
Dusk nodded.
Haven smiled.
Haven: Since it's the outside, we just have to take a quick look and get back inside. We just have to check for any cracks or holes in the walls. Let's spread out a bit to save time. But stay where I can see you.
Dusk: Okay, should I start from this side?
She pointed to the end of the u shape of the place.
Haven: Sure, I'll check the windows across.
Dusk: Sounds good, let's get this over with quickly and get some rest.
Dusk went to look around as did Haven now.
Dusk notice most windows were broken but secure with wooden panels. Dusk notice some white in the bushes as she looked and notice a white bone...Her eyes went huge. As Haven ran over.
Haven: What's wrong?
Dusk: Eh...Just spooked up a bit.
Haven: You sure you're alright?
Dusk: Yeah...I'm fine, just..."
Dusk notice something under the leaves on the ground. She reached over and pulled out a silver key.
Dusk: It's a key?
Haven studied it.
Haven: It might be for something important. Maybe it'll open some of the classrooms we haven't accessed yet. Let's go back and tell the others. Are you done with your side?
Dusk: Yup. All clear, and you?
Haven nodded and smiled.
Dusk: Good it's cold, let's hurry inside.
Dusk took the key and later her and Haven went to the main classroom.
Lawson: Welcome back. Thank you for your hard work. The others have already gone to sleep. How did it go?
Jim: Same old. That model skeleton still creeps me out. Argh! Why haven't we thrown that shit out the window yet?
Hannah: I don't think that would make it any more pleasant to look at.
Edison: Anyways, the rooftop's clear too. No Zombies.
Haven: Yup. Same with the schoolyard. All clear.
Skarlet: Hmph!
Lawson: Anything we should know?
Dusk: We actually found something while we were out.
Lawson: Oh? What did you find?
Dusk: A key. Not too sure where it could go, though. I hope it's somewhere useful. Edison told me there are still some places you haven't been able to open yet.
Lawson: That's right. But it's not going to be easy trying all those doors.
Dusk: Yeah, but I still think it would be worth to try it out.
Edison: Wow! You found a key!! That could solve all our problems!
Dusk glared at his sarcasm.
Sen: Let's get together tomorrow and discuss where we could try it out. I think we can come up with a list of places to try.
Dusk: That would be great.
Edison: You're really gonna walk around and try every single door here? You've got some guts, woman. Aren't you scared?
Dusk stared.
Dusk: Whatever, you won't help me?
Edison: What?
Dusk: Well ya said it was dangerous. That's why you guys pair up for the night patrols, right? I just thought the same rule would apply here.
Edison: Geez, I'm not sure if you're shameless or if you're that clever.
Edison sighed.
Edison: Fine. I'll consider helping you. But only if I'm not tired.
Dusk rolled her eyes.
Haven: Well, we should all get some rest. Let's call it a night.
Lawson: Good job, everyone.
Hannah: You too...
Jim: Night night.
Skarlet: .......
Dusk: Good night, everyone.
Everyone went to sleep...Sunrise came...
Jody: Good morning! How was things?
Dawn talked with Jody, as Dusk and Twilight came to tell them about the key Dusk found.
Jody: I have a good feeling about this. Maybe it'll open a secret door to a room full of treasures.
Dawn: Mmm...I don't believe there is such thing, Jody.
Jody: Why? I'd love some treasures like pizza and fries...
Twilight: Right! What used to be common meals are so scarce now. I'd die for some fries, too.
Dawn reached for the door to exit, but it's stuck.
Dawn: Hm?
Jody: I want a hot bowl of soup. Oh, what's wrong, Dawn?
Dawn shook the door and realize it's not opening.
Dawn: It's stuck.
Jody: What?
Dusk and Twilight blinked as they got up too now.
Jody would try and open the door. Then Twilight, and no matter how hard it wouldn't move.
Dusk went to try as she said after.
Dusk: It feels strange...
Jody: The door wont open, of course it's strange!
Dusk: That's not what I mean.
Dawn: I think she means it's...being blocked.
Jody: What is it?
Twilight: Um...Well, I think we're trying to figure this out.
Jody sighed.
Jody: Somebody must be up by now. Let's try asking them for help.
Jody would yell.
Jody: Hey! Anyone out there! Help us!
Twilight: Can anyone hear us? Heeeellp!
Jody started banging on the door now.
Jody: Help us!!!! We're being eaten by a million zombies!!!!
Nothing...
Dusk walked around to see if she can find something to stick into the door now.
Will they get out of this situation? Find out next time.

Chapter 6
Dusk glanced around the classroom now.
Jody: What are you doing?
Dusk: I'm not just going to sit and wait.
Dusk move about in between some chairs. She would go through some of the desks now.
Dawn: Anything?
Dusk: Oh?
She would yank out a L-shaped metal ruler.
Twilight: Oh yay!
Jody: What is it? What is it? Did you find something cool?
Dusk show the ruler now.
Jody: Huh? But that's just a ruler?
Dusk walked over to the door now. She'd jam that ruler right into the door side and shove it around now.
Jody: Is it working?
Dusk gritted her teeth and shook it about more.
Dusk: There is something on the other side but I can't reach it..
Finally a loud thud noise was made!
Dusk yank the ruler out as both her and Dawn yank the door open now.
Jody and Twilight: Yay!!!
Everyone went out in the hallway now. Which nothing was in the hallway except...
Jody: So, what was blocking the door?
Dawn stared at the wooden panel on the floor.
Jody: This? Where did that wooden panel even fall from?
Dawn: ........Surely........It was just an unfortunate coincidence.
Twilight: Hah hah...Are the others still a sleep?
Jody: Maybe.
The four would go to the main meeting classroom now.
Hannah: Uhm...Morning. What are you thinking about? Probably people we used to walk by on the streets before, don't you think?
Dawn: Yes...Well, maybe even talked to some of them too.
Edison: Hey ladies, let's not get too sentimental. That ain't helping us in any way, you know.
Edison closed the drapes of the windows Hannah and Dawn look through.
Haven: It's not just being sentimental, it's proof we're still human, after all.
Ezra: We brought some food.
The boys walked in with bread and candy bars. Putting them on the desks.
Lawson: Good morning. Did everyone sleep well?
Skarlet: Other than one little thing that still bugs me, I'm good.
Jody: ........
Lawson: Well, since we don't have any critical issues today. Let's have our morning meeting over breakfast. Since we checked the outside perimeter last night. Let's just check inside the school today.
Sen: What about the key?
Lawson: Right, so from now on we're adding checking locked doors to the things to do during patrols. They'll be in charge of that.
Lawson pointed to the triplets.
Dusk shrugged and held the key.
Skarlet: This is so pointless! It's just a waste of time and effort!
Sen: Since we need resources, finding anything would be a win.
Zion: It's way less troublesome than heading outside. Hey, where haven't we been yet?
Edison: The teachers' lounge on the fifth floor?
Haven: The library.
Jody: The storage room in the gym, and the snack bar-
Edison: Don't forget the broadcasting room.
Twilight: Wow, there's quite a few places huh?
Ezra: Yeah.
Twilight: Should we try the library first then? Does anybody want to come with me?
Edison grabbed Zion's arm raising it up.
Zion: Hey?! What are you doing?!
Edison: What? Didn't you want to go?
Zion: To the library? Me?
Zion and Edison rough house a bit as Zion was annoyed and Edison grinned.
Twilight chuckled.
Lawson: Looks like you two are good to go. Let's pair up the rest of you then.
Zion: Tsk! Whatever..
People were paired off and ate then went to do a morning patrol.
Zion said while walking ahead.
Zion: You coming? What's with the long face?
Glaring at Twilight a bit.
Zion: Oh I see! You wanted someone else for your partner, didn't ya?
Twilight blinked.
Twilight: Ah...That's not it- shall we go? Ah hah...
Twilight went the wrong way.
Zion: You know it's this way, right?
Zion gritted his teeth as Twilight blinked and turned to catch up with him.
Twilight: Umm....So, I take it you don't like reading much, huh?
Zion: What's so fun about just looking at letters on a piece of paper? And if I read something, I hate it when the story doesn't end the way I want.
Twilight: Yeah, that's true! I guess choosing the right book is kind of like gambling in that sense. Some of my friends actually start with the endings first.
Zion: Oh, that's more practical. You'd be able to avoid the bad books really fast.
Twilight: But you'd spoil the enjoyment of story twists if you read in that way though.
Zion: If the book isn't fun without twists, it isn't a book worth reading to begin with.
The two would go to the library.
Twilight: Is this it?
Zion: Are you illiterate?
He pointed to the sign on the door.
Twilight: Eh? Of couse not...I was just asking.
Zion: Oooh, am I starting to get on your nerves?
He'd give a wicked smirk. Trying to open the door, but it rattle and not open.
Zion: Hey, try the key.
Twilight shrugged and took the key Dusk let him use on the door.
Zion: Ah, I hope there are lots of comic books in there. If it opens, of course.
Twilight: This is a school library, Zion. I doubt you'll find any comic books in there.
Zion: Why not? They are just as educational as regular books, don't you think?
Twilight didn't answer as he tried to open the door with the key but it didn't open.
Zion: Man! What a bummer...
Twilight: With that amount of disappointment, people would think you were a book worm.
Zion: Well, didn't you choose this library hoping to find something to read for yourself?
A loud Swoosh sound was heard suddenly.
Twilight: What was that?
Zion snapped at Twilight.
Zion: Hey! You can't just ignore my question like that!
Twilight blinked.
Twilight: No. That's not it! I think I heard something..
Zion: Of course you did.
Zion glanced about.
Zion: There's nothing here though.
Twilight: Well, that's a relief then...hah hah...
Zion looked annoyed.
Zion: Hey, let's just leave.
Twilight blinked as he wonder where that sound came by but he'd follow after Zion walked off.
They couldn't enter the library...But what was that sound Twilight heard? Was someone there? Was it nothing? To be continued...

DANGER!!!! DANGER!!!!!! CRITICAL CHAPTER! CHAPTER 7! ONE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS IS IN DANGER IN THIS CHAPTER!!!!
In the classroom...
Haven: In the end, the key wasn't for the library...
Lawson: I was hoping we could burn those books to keep it warm in here... Yeah, it's too bad...But we shouldn't get too demoralized. Let's keep looking for where that key might fit.
Lawson smiled to Twilight.
Twilight: Yeah...
Haven looked to Twilight.
Haven: What's wrong? Are you okay?
Skarlet: He really likes getting attention, doesn't he?
Zion: Don't mind him. He's still upset about the books in the library.
Twilight: No...That's not it.
Dusk and Dawn looked oddly at one another and back at Twilight.
Zion: Oh? If not that, don't tell me-
Lawson: Did something happen?
Twilight: Um...I must have just gotten a bit sensitive because of everything happening recently. Nothing happened.
Haven: If you say so...
Lawson: Heh, well, promise me you'll tell us if anything's up?
Twilight: Okay, I promise.
Edison: Are we done talking now? I think it's time for a break.
Hannah: Yeah. I was about to say that...I'm tired...
Ezra: I'm sleepy.
Lawson: Alright then, how about calling it a day?
Jody: Yay! Great!
Dawn smiled.
Zion: Alright, I'm gonna take a nap.
Zion tapped Twilight's back as Twilight's eyes widen and looked at him.
Zion: You won't survive long if you keep worrying about every little thing. Take it easy and try not to make so much noise, yeah?
Sen: I'm off too.
Ezra: Adios!
Everyone left as Jody, Dawn and Dusk went to Twilight now.
Jody: What are you gonna do now? I think I'm gonna get some rest. I had trouble sleeping last night.
Twilight: Umm...
Dawn and Dusk leave letting the two talk for now as they went to their rooms.
Twilight: I was thinking about taking a walk around. You know, I have yet to get used to this place.
Jody: Oh...Are you fine on your own? Do you want me to tag along?
Twilight: Ah heh...Jody, didn't you just say you needed some rest? You should get some sleep. It's just be a quick stroll up and down the hallway. I'm sure I'll manage.
Jody: Okay, but don't get lost!
Jody would go to bed now...
Twilight went into the hallway now.
Twilight: Let see...I feel like the lockers would be a good start.
Twilight tried some of the lockers, but realize the key is too small...
Twilight: Well, I wouldn't be able to sleep comfortably if I just gave up easily.
He would sigh to himself. Twilight would then head downstairs to the next level. Once there he took a peak into one of the classrooms.
Twilight: Oh this looks all like one mess...
Suddenly.............SOMETHING Swoosh by Twilight again!
Twilight froze and heard a strange noise from the stairs. A loud thump followed as Twilight's eyes went huge. He would then hear the thump sound getting closer! With that in mind, Twilight bolted and ran fast! Down the hall now! As he ran one of the class doors were open.
Twilight: Oh!
Twilight quickly rushed inside the classroom now. As he panted once inside. Shutting the door behind him he notice the classroom floor had blood all around as his eyes went huge! Everything was scattered and a mess. Twilight kept his mouth shut, but he heard that noise getting faster like it's coming his way from out the door.
Twilight made sure the door was closed to the back room, but he quickly made sure the door he came in was closed too. His eyes went huge as he notice the door he just came in the lock refused to shut! It wont stay close!
Twilight: Please...Oh please...!
Twilight panic as he knew whatever it was, was going to find him if he didn't hide. The door started to rattle loudly now!
Twilight: AHHHHH!!!
Twilight manage to block the door now from opening as he looked horrified. Refusing to let it come in.
The door only rattled and creaked more! Twilight used his weight to keep the door from opening now. Twilight gulped as he could vaguely hear faint breathing through the other side of the door. Then the door rattle loudly!
Twilight: Urgh, please...!
The door stop shaking, but instead started to scratch more. Twilight struggled now as he kept trying to keep the door shut, biting his lower lip...Breathing cold air, as he notice he's freezing here, the window is open...And his hands and legs are shaking from the cold.
CHAPTER PAUSE!!!!!
A Choice must be made.......
Option A = A small box of pink erasers?---------Options B = A pink fur coat and some long rope?----------Option C = A box of different pink sharpies markers on the floor?
Focus's choice...
Twilight's life hangs on the balance...

The continuation....of Chapter 7!
Twilight blinked as he notice near a desk a pink fur coat with some long rope in it's pockets? He didn't argue as he kept holding the door and reached over putting on the coat while holding the door and working on the rope.
The coat provided warmth, so he doesn't freeze in the room.
Twilight tried to stay focus as he took the rope out and kept his weight on the door while pulling it out. He froze as he heard some footstep but stared at some of the desks in the class.
The footsteps seems to go further away...However loud clacking noise was heard suddenly!
Twilight's eyes widen seeing the back door rattled, but it is locked. So whatever it is can't enter.
Twilight flipped a few desks now and tied the legs of the desk with some of the rope now. He'd after took the end of the rope and tied it to one of the lockers now.
Being quiet now, Twilight notice no noise going on the back door now. His eyes went huge as he looked to the front door now. Twilight pulled the rope now and barricaded those desks right in front of the door now. He'd quickly get up and run to the back door now and waited for a moment.
The second the front door started to be messed with. Twilight opened the back door now and ran...He ran and ran as fast as he could now! Twilight ran all the way to the front of the main classroom where they have their meetings.
Zion was behind Twilight now as his voice made Twilight jump a bit.
Zion: What are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to make any noise?
Ezra appeared behind Twilight too.
Ezra: You scared me.
Twilight alarmed looked to the two speechless now. His heart couldn't take it anymore as his legs gave out but Ezra caught him easily so he can't fall.
Zion frowned and clenched and unclenched his hands now.
Zion: What is it?
He nearly gritted the words.
Twilight: There...was...Inside the school.
Zion: That again? Are you that worried?
He growled at Twilight. Twilight bit his lips. Frowning to wipe some tears off his own eyes.
Zion: Wh-what? Y-you're crying??
Ezra looked alarmed.
Ezra: .......
Twilight: Ah, it's nothing...I was just a bit surprised...Thanks, both of you.
He smiled weakly to the two.
Zion arched a brow and looked away. Ezra let go of Twilight and the two went into their own rooms.
Twilight however was sure this was a person chasing him...But what? Or who?
Twilight has survived this encounter...But what is going on? To be continued....

Chapter 7 Part 2
Jody shook Dawn and woke her up since she seems to have issues sleeping.
Jody: Wake up! It's almost dinner time!
Dawn: Okay...
Dawn would get out of bed a bit exhausted. The two would head into the main room as they talked about Jody's odd dream and Twilight's situation.
Lawson: Hey!
Dawn: Hi, did you get some rest?
Lawson: Not really. I had some things to take care of.
Dawn: Like what? I could've helped. You should've told us.
Lawson smiled.
Lawson: Are you worried about me? I was just making a list of things we need to do. You're more than welcome to help me later. How about making sure everyone gets something to eat?
Dawn: I can help with that.
As everyone arrived, Dawn put everyone's dinner on the table.
Edison: Oh isn't this cream buns?
He took one.
Edison: These go bad really quickly, even when it's this cold outside, you know. I still remember eating this last time and getting food poisoning.
Zion: Just shut up and eat, man.
Zion chewed on a beef jerky.
Dusk: Want to switch with me, Edison? I've got BBQ chips. I don't really get sick from food. I'll take that bun.
Edison: Nah, it's fine. I'll just eat it. I don't like BBQ chips anyway.
Dusk: How about sharing the darn thing then?
Edison: Eh? Cream buns and BBQ chips? I don't think the flavors mix well.
Dusk: Geez, you're so picky.
Edison: What? Me?! I'm just worried you wouldn't like the taste, you know!? That's all!
Dusk glared and snatch that stupid bun from him and opened the package.
Edison: Hey!
Dusk: It still hasn't gone bad. It doesn't smell.
She'd split the bun and gave one half of it to Edison now.
Edison took it.
Edison: It seems you get to eat cream buns thanks to me, Dusk. Well, you're welcome!
Edison took a handful of BBQ chips then.
Zion: Look at him taking all the credit.
Zion snarl.
Zion: Hey, Edison. Repeat after me, Thank you, Dusk.
Edison and Zion had a bit of a argument now.
Lawson: Are you guys all finished?
Jim: Yup.
Lawson: So...I went over a few things during break. As of right now, we're running out of food.
Skarlet: See? Don't say I didn't warn you.
Haven: Skarlet, please.
Lawson: So, starting tomorrow, we need to go out to the town and begin to search for food again.
Ezra nodded.
Lawson: In addition, it will start getting colder from now on. Which means we need ways to keep warm in here. We need to think carefully about this. It might be a good idea to not sleep spread out in separate rooms.
Jim: Bro, I really like having my own room though.
Zion: Feel free to freeze to death then, man.
Hannah: I wish those heaters worked...
Sen: Well...They're no use since the power's down.
Jody: Do you think power's down everywhere?
Skarlet: Probably.
Lawson: Don't worry. We've been doing fine without power so far. Since anything we can find would be of help, we should start looking more carefully from now on. We still haven't found where that key goes either.
Dusk leaned on the edge of a desk once everyone left as Haven walked over.
Haven: Everyone left, why aren't you going?
Dusk: Huh? Oh just thinking about stuff.
Dusk look out the window at the night sky as Haven sat neat her to watch.
Haven: Is there something bothering you?
Dusk: Um...Haven. I think there's something in the school. I first noticed it when Twilight mention what happened when him and Zion went to the library. And this morning the rest of us with Jody was trapped in Jody and Dawn's room. We barely managed to get out.
Haven: ........
Dusk: And upstairs...You know where all the homerooms are? There was something that hallway, too. Dawn mention it. It started chasing Twilight but he just managed to escape. And I'm not entirely sure about this...situation. But I think it wasn't a zombie.
Haven: Okay, wait a second. I get it. I understand what you're trying to say. That must have been really scary. Don't worry. I'll talk with Lawson about it. If there is anything else I can do to help you, you have to let me know, okay? I'm here for you. But we should never say anything that makes any one of the group seems suspicious.
Dusk thought about that and nodded.
Dusk: My bad, I guess I wasn't being very thoughtful.
Haven: No, it's okay. I mean, I'm sure you really felt something was wrong. Did anyone tell you about how we used to stay in the middle school building next door?
Dusk: Dawn did, she heard it from Ezra.
Haven: When we first got there, it was actually quite nice. We were many survivors and we had plenty of food..But then, one day, a fight broke out.
Dusk: I heard you guys were attacked by zombies.
Haven: Uh...That comes later. There was a college professor with us. But he started getting suspicious all the time...
Dusk: Who was he suspicious of?
Haven: One of us. Sorry I don't want you to judge or have any prejudice against that person if I told you who.
Dusk: Huh...Sure, I get it.
Haven: Anyways, that incident divided us into cliques, and people stopped getting along. I didn't get the whole thing. I mean, it didn't do us any good. But I guess I was kind of blaming him for people hating on each other. We should've tried to work things out, but the zombies broke in and attacked us before we could. So that's why so many people-
Dusk: Hm...You must have been so devasted.
Haven sighed.
Haven: Yeah, we all were.
Dusk: You guys probably worked hard to make that place safe for everyone.
Haven: Yeah, we really did...But it was all gone in an instant. I regret not telling them to talk sooner. We could've sat down and talked things out...
Dusk patted Haven's shoulder lightly.
Dusk: I totally feel for you, Haven. Thanks for telling me, even though it must have been tough. I promise to keep your words in mind.
Haven: Yeah, thanks for understanding. And I'm sorry if I've made you more nervous about staying here. But don't be afraid. You're not alone anymore, okay?
Dusk: Heh, thanks...I feel better with you here to help if anything does happen. Let's try to get through this together.
Haven: Yeah...Together. But about what you told me, do you want to go investigating with me tomorrow?
Dusk: Weren't we supposed to go find food outside?
Haven: Everyone will take turns like we do with the night watches. It doesn't really matter who goes first. And after hearing your story. I feel like we need to do some more careful checking in the school.
Dusk: Yeah, sounds good. It's always nice to have someone trustworthy to help.
Haven: So, today Twilight went to the library, right?
Dusk: Yeah, he did.
Haven: We'll do a very thorough search making sure there's nothing out of the ordinary. How about we try the broadcasting room tomorrow? If we can get the door open, we might find something useful.
Dusk: Sounds like a good idea. Maybe we can find a microphone and yell for help. Someone might hear us...
She was joking as Haven laughed.
Dusk: I hope there's a radio so we could get some news outside.
Haven: Hmm...Maybe we could get it to play some music.
Dusk: True, I really miss music. I can barely wait til tomorrow.
Haven: If I remember correctly, it's right upstairs. Hmm...
He grinned.
Haven: Want to go right away? We just need to check the key and since we're both going it's not as dangerous either.
Dusk: Seriously?
Haven: Yeah, seriously. But we have to make it real quick. And if anything seems even a little bit weird, we return here right away.
Dusk: Sounds good.
Dusk and Haven went up the stairs now in the middle of the night. To the broadcasting room.
Dusk: Hm, it was right here.
Haven: Yeah, that's why I figured we could check it out right away. Why don't you try out the key?
Dusk had the key this time so she would try it on the door.
Dusk: Huh?
The key didn't fit but the door shook easily...? Dusk just tried opening he door normally. Which it would open!
Haven: So the key worked! Good thing we came here!
Dusk: It didn't work...The door wasn't locked. You didn't know that?
Haven: What? That's impossible! I think I've checked this door three or four times since we decided to stay here.
Dusk: Did it get unlocked after that?
Haven: But we have a rule to tell everyone about what rooms are accessible. Since we can't afford keeping secrets from one another. Hmm...
The two went inside as they notice normal camera equipment.
Dusk: We probably won't need cameras, right?
Haven: I always wanted to try filming stuff, but this is way too big. But it's strange...
Dusk: The door?
Haven: No...It's too clean in here. I mean...It must have been locked for a while, right?
Dusk found this very odd!
Haven: I think it's best...If we make this a secret between us. Let's not tell the other guys about the unlocked door. I don't like secrets...But I think we need to be careful about talking about this.
He frowned at the idea. Dusk seemed suspicious.
Someone....Has been using the broadcasting room....Who?! To be continued....

Nightwatch Chapter...
Dusk and Haven are set up as the nightwatch team for the halls. The two would walk into the hallways now.
Haven: There isn't much to do actually. We'll just do a quick look around.
Dusk and Haven went up and down the hallway, making sure the windows were secure and locked. They after take a small break by the stairs, near a window with moonlight.
Haven: I never expected anything like this to happen.
Dusk: I know, I couldn't imagine running into a zombie when we arrived near the school.
Haven: I first faced them at school too.
Dusk: I'm more wondering how this will all go.
Haven: Me too, but all we can do now is just pray that everything will work out. By the way it was cool how you guys became friends with Jody right away.
Dusk: Just a quick bond, my sister said she looks like her childhood friend.
Haven: Do you go to school before this?
Dusk: Finished college.
Haven: Which one?
Dusk: Wutai.
Haven: Ah yeah, the asian side of things. I teach at New York Heights. Some of us here were living about in that area.
Dusk: It's cool, I guess stuff like that doesn't really matter now.
Haven: Did you like how your life was before this?
Dusk: Eh...It's alright. I hated training every morning, but the acting stuff was fine. Some trainers were cool, some weren't. Whatevs...What about you?
Haven: I...I really liked going to school.
Dusk: Seriously?
Haven: Yeah, I didn't have a typical family.
Dusk: So?
Haven: Oh, I never meant to make you feel uncomfortable
Dusk: It's cool, keep going.
Haven: My dad was not a good father. He would always yell at us... And ask mom for money. He even hit us sometimes. And as a kid...There wasn't much to do. One day I told my teacher, Mr. Landgridge about my dad.
Dusk: So what he say?
Haven: That it could happen in any family. I guess he didn't wanna get involved.
Dusk: That @#$%^&!
Haven: So I don't really have any good memory of my dad. But lately, I've been thinking about him a lot. It's weird cuz I actually wish-ow...!!
He winced and held his head as it seems to hurt.
Dusk: Huh? Hey, what's wrong?!
Haven: It's...nothing.
Dusk: Are you sure?
Haven: Yeah, I'm fine.
Haven nodded and turn away, as he hid that he gets migraines from stress about his dad.
Haven: Other than that, my life was pretty normal.
Haven: I'd graduate, go to work and well...Guess that's all over now.
Dusk: Hm...Haven.
Haven: Yeah?
Dusk: Do ya think this will all end soon?
Haven: Of course we live in a highly forward century. They'll find a solution.
Dusk: Yeah, hopefully they fine a cure or vaccine for this virus soon. Then everything can go back to normal again.
Haven: I hope you are gonna be okay.
Dusk: Huh? But I'm not infected. I'm fine.
Haven: That doesn't mean your life is. It's been tough for you as well.
Dusk: Hmm...Well, hope you're gonna be fine, too.
Haven whispered a thanks.
Haven: Well, it's not all that bad...
Dusk: You mean here?
Haven: I mean here right now.
Dusk: What do ya mean by that? Huh...Well, least we're safe here for now. Guess that's good.
Haven: Heh, you're just copying what I just said.
Haven rested his head on his knees as the moonlight sparkles along his purple eyes.
Haven: I think...I'm going to miss the people here, when all this is over.
Dusk: We can stay in touch.
Haven: What do you wanna do most when it's all over?
Dusk: Huh....First. I wanna eat something really delicious and gourmet. Ya know the food that just doesn't fill your stomach. Though the one that pleases your tummy.
Haven: Sounds good. Let's go find something really nice when we get out of here.
Dusk: Huh? Together?
Haven: Yup, together.
He smiled widely.
Haven: It feels nice talking about these things. Shall we head back to the classroom?
Dusk: Yeah.
The two stood up and went back to the classroom.
Meanwhile!
Ezra was outside the school building holding his bat as he looks like he's about to doze off. Dawn would walk over as she's on nightwatch with him.
Dawn: Are you sleepy, Ezra?
Ezra: A little.
Dawn tapped his shoulder as the two walked.
Dawn: You're not sleeping, are you?
Ezra shook his head.
Ezra: No. I'm not.
Dawn: Hm, well let's finish up and get inside then.
Ezra: Okay.
The two looked about while moving outside the school ground.
Dawn: Hey, Ezra.
Ezra: Yeah?
Dawn: Aren't you...afraid of the zombies?
Ezra: Of course I am.
Dawn: Oh...I thought you weren't. You know, you don't look like you're scared a bit.
Ezra: ......
Ezra: I try not to look scared. I don't want to make other guys nervous.
Dawn notice he went a head so she move to catch up.
Dawn: Can I ask what you did before you came here? I mean...
Ezra: I just ran away from the zombies every day.
Dawn: I mean before the zombies. Before all this started basically.
Ezra: Oh! I get what you mean.
Before much noise could be made a zombie screech could be heard as Dawn's eyes widen. Ezra held his bat out as he notice it's outside the fence.
Ezra: Yeah, no screaming.
Dawn glanced about as she notice Ezra looking intensely around. The moonlight makes his black hair with blue and lavender tip shine. And his sea green eyes had a glow to them.
Ezra: It's the noise that's drawing them.
Dawn: Noise?
Ezra: I'm just guessing. So you were wondering what I was doing before I came here?
Dawn: Oh correct, yes. If you don't wish to say, it's quite alright.
Ezra scratches his head.
Ezra: Nothing fancy, just hung out with friends when not working on MMA. Not a expert at it, but sometimes I get sores from fighting gin the cage. What about you?
Dawn: Me?
Ezra: Yeah, what did you do?
Dawn: I suppose hang with friends, but I sing...and model. I suppose it doesn't sound that entertaining.
Ezra: I guess....But now, I really miss all of that. Guess we won't be able to have everything back to where it was... But we have to stick it out for as long as we can...until everything's back to normal.
Dawn: Mm...Thank you, Ezra.
Ezra: Don't mention it. What did you usually do when you had free time?
Dawn: Hmm...gym, I suppose. I guess my life circles work. I suppose, I'd be happy to go back to all of that now, though. I suppose none of this sounds very exciting.
Ezra: Least it's not school...Man, I hated studying. Sometimes, feel a sleep in class back when I was in school. Good for you and your ambitions though.
Dawn: Heh...Well, what did you do in your free time? Video games?
Ezra: No, I was in a league.
Dawn: Baseball?
Ezra: How did you know?
Dawn tried not to laugh.
Dawn: I don't know much about the sport, but it looks entertaining. I'm aware there is a pitcher and a batter.
Ezra: Yeah, it depends whether you are on the offensive or defensive side of the game. Everyone on the team takes a turn hitting the ball. Well, at least most of the players can.
Dawn: So what was your position?
Ezra: I was the pitcher.
Dawn: Perhaps the center and most admirable of the field.
Ezra: ........
Dawn: That's when they wind up before pitching, right?
Ezra: That's why I started playing. But then I started to really like throwing the ball. I get thrilled when the batter misses my throw.
Dawn: It sounds like such a nice sport. You seemed to have fun.
Ezra: I guess. It's fun to watch too.
Dawn: I've never watched a baseball game. Actually, never really played it. Say, why don't we...
Ezra: Nah.
Dawn: You didn't even know what I was going to say.
Ezra: Weren't you gonna ask me to go to a game with you?
Dawn: Okay, I guess you did know. Why not?
Ezra: I don't wanna get my hopes too high. If it doesn't happen, you just get bummed out. What's the point then?
Dawn: Possibly, but isn't it nice to have something to look forward to?
Ezra: ........
Silence as nothing was said as they are getting close to the school entrance now again.
Dawn: So, you're gonna watch a game with me, right? We're going to stay safe and make it until then.
Ezra: ...Okay.
Dawn: Wonderful!
Meanwhile...
On the rooftop, for the nightwatch...
Zion: What are you staring at?
Twilight: Geez...
Zion glared.
Zion: You look like you'd rather die than to be up here with me.
Twilight sighs...
Twilight: I wouldn't say I'd rather die...Maybe like catching the flu?
Zion: Don't push it.
Twilight blinked.
Twilight: You started it...Can't you just talk more nicely?
Zion: You're the one to talk.
Twilight looked about form the 6 story building and notice the moonlight on them as he look below the roof from up high. Zion notice him looking and asked.
Zion: What's so interesting about an empty field?
Twilight: Hey, Zion.
Zion: Hm? Yeah?
Twilight: How long have you been staying with the guys?
Zion: What kind of random question is that?
Twilight: I was just wondering is all...
Zion: Geez. Well...These guys I guess from the start? I met them almost right after the virus broke out.
Twilight: Ah...Lucky.
Zion: Huh? I guess, it could've been worse. It's not like we never fight. But since we've managed to survive together...
Twilight: Oh? You guys fight?
Zion: Wouldn't it be more surprising if we hadn't?
Twilight: Um...I guess.
Zion: Back then, our leader was someone else too, before we changed.
Twilight: Ah, so Lawson wasn't always the leader.
Zion: In the end, we're just normal people...so that's why. But I don't remember the guy's face anymore.
Twilight: Already?
Zion: I never really been good at remembering faces.
Twilight: So some day you'll forget mine too, I take it.
Zion arches a brow.
Zion: Why would I forget your face? I have your face clearly remembered in my head.
Twilight: Really? How can you be so sure about that?
Zion: I told you. I saved your life. You owe me big time. I never forget people who owe me, you know?
Twilight blinked.
Twilight: I should have guessed.
Zion grinned, crossing his arm as he held the pipe, leaning on the fence.
Twilight: Wait, don't lean on that! It's dangerous. Especially, nowadays...Seeing the condition the building is in.
Zion: Gosh, stop with the nagging.
Rolling his eyes, as Zion stepped from the fence grumbling.
Zion: How about you? Are you any good at remembering faces?
Twilight: Yeah. Well...I guess I try to memorize?
Zion: Really? I think it's totally useless.
Twilight: I think I'm starting to understand why you are not good with faces.
Zion: What's that supposed to mean?
Twilight: I'm just saying...
Zion: Whatever.
Twilight: But why do you think it's useless to remember people's faces?
Zion: Ahh...Um. People usually don't like to hear this but...
Twilight: I can't promise it's fine if I don't know what it is about.
Zion: Just...about me?
Twilight: That's okay, try me.
Zion: ..........................
Zion: I was pretty well off before...You know me, and my parents were quite rich. And sometimes people would just want to be friends with me, only because I have a wealthy background. I hated seeing them sucking up to me...I didn't see the reason in becoming friends with them and that's why I kind started to stop trying, you know.
Twilight: Oh...
Zion: You must think I'm such a jerk, but what could I do? I had so many people who called themselves my friends. But in the end they just pretended to be my friends, only caring about my money. As if it was the only thing I was good for.
Twilight: I see....So that's why you don't care about remembering others.
Zion: Same goes for names too. Umm hey... Isn't this awkward or anything for you?
Twilight: Why would it be awkward?
Zion: You're really different, huh.
Twilight: Um...Are you trying to pick a fight again?
Zion smirks as Twilight sighs.
Twilight: What do you want to do when all this is over?
Zion: Hm?
Twilight: Like anything. Is there anything you want to do?
Zion: Wow, that's the first time I hear someone ask me that.
Twilight: I bet no one ever asks because you'd just answer sarcastically.
Zion growl and snap at him.
Zion: That's not true! Hmm, what I want to do...When this is all over...
Twilight blinked a lot.
Zion: Can't really think of anything...I don't see the point of studying for business...Since, I know I'll just get my parents corporation. I feel like I just wasted my life from this point.
Twilight: You're making it sound like you're a 90 year old man...It's okay not to have any plans, you know? I don't plan much. I like to film and photograph...Maybe I can be a director one day? Mostly I just make clothes as a hobby...
Zion: Since you got the answers, I'll just copy you goals.
Twilight: Eh?! You can't do that!
Zion smirked.
Zion: Come on! Please help a goal-less friend in need.
Twilight: It's weird, now you're all polite suddenly.
Zion glared.
Zion: Argh!
Zion: Anyways...You've promised now!
Twilight: What...I haven't agree to that.
Zion: Let's do it now then.
Zion smirked and held a pinky finger out.
Twilight blinked and accepted it with his own now. Twilight could see his firey hair swaying in the breeze and his amber eyes glimmer with the moonlight as Zion had a confident grin on his face.
After the shift they return inside to sleep...
The nightwatch is completed.

Chapter 8
The next morning...
Dawn: Mmm...I should of took that extra blanket.
Jody: Did you say something?
Dawn: No, I'm just...cold.
Jody: Aww, come here, sweetie. I'll keep you warm. This is Jody's Special Premium Service, just for you!
Jody came over and hugged Dawn tightly.
Dawn: Wow, you're like a human heater.
Jody: I'm warm right, but not here.
Dawn yelled a bit when Jody's cold hand went on her neck.
Later...Dawn went patrolling with Sen today.
Sen: Hey, it's our first time being partners.
Dawn smiled as Sen seemed smart and quiet at first, but once they talked and patrol Sen was very nice. However, nothing out of the ordinary during their patrol.
Later in the main classroom...
Ezra: .......
Dawn smiled to him when her and Sen entered.
Dawn: Everything looks good on our side. How about you?
Ezra: Same here.
Ezra looked out the window.
Dawn: Don't worry they'll be back soon.
Ezra: You're probably right. They always have.
Dawn: Yes. They have one with the brain and one with the brawn. It's an unbeatable combination, don't you think?
She'd smiled.
Ezra: ......
Dawn blinked seeing everyone rushing back at the gate looking horrified.
Dawn: What is it? Did something happen?
Jim: What's wrong? Did something happen?
Zion panted.
Zion: It's...
Haven: It's full of zombies out there...
Lawson: We almost...Didn't make it back.
Hannah: Ugh...
Hannah hunch in the corner exhausted now.
Skarlet: You didn't get bitten though, right?
Jim: Yeah, I think you should all be checked before you can come near us.
Zion: Come on guys, we're fine! I know you're scared but you don't have to be such jerks.
Zion removed his jacket which showed his more muscle torso, but no bites or anything.
Jim: Ladies...If you'll excuse us.
Skarlet snapped a finger, gesturing Hannah to come over to get checked herself.
Hannah would follow Skarlet out of the class to check her.
Dawn went to wait for Jody....But......She never returned?
Zion sticked his head out seeing Twilight out the door.
Zion: Hey, we're done here. Come back in or whatever.
The Triplets met up now and entered with the rest in the main classroom now.
Jim: They're all clean. No bites or anything.
Zion: See? Told you so.
Ezra: We needed to make sure.
Lawson: We can't afford to take any chances.
Zion: You're taking it too far though, man. Do you really want me out that bad?
Haven: Hah hah...You're overreacting, Zion.
Jim: We were freaked out. There was blood all over your clothes you know, Lawson. I almost @#$% on my pants checking for the bite marks on your body. What would you do if he suddenly turned into a zombie and tried to eat us?
Lawson: Sorry, but it just happened to get on my clothes as we were fighting all of them at the same time.
Haven: It's hard not to get any blood on yourself in that situation.
Dusk: You all are okay, though, right?
Haven: Uh huh. We were lucky.
Lawson: We brought loads of food.
Zion grinned.
Zion: We gambled a bit, you know.
Twilight: Oh really? Next time I'll be the one bringing lots of food!
Dusk: You just wait and see how much more food I can bring here.
Zion: You mean how much we'll be disappointed? Don't risk your life, squirt.
Twilight: Hey...If you can do it. I can do it too.
Dawn: Possibly, even better.
Zion said firmly.
Zion: But you're only...But you can't... You're better off here where it's safe! So stop being so dramatic and stay out of trouble.
Twilight blinked.
Dusk and Dawn looked at Zion weirdly.
Twilight: And you weren't in trouble?
Some of the others snicker.
Zion: Oh shut up! Aight...I get what you're saying. You can stop the nagging now, okay?
Twilight: ....Fine.
Haven: Hey, how was your patrol?
Dawn: It was okay. Nothing new.
Skarlet opened the door but no Hannah returned. Skarlet waved Zion over as he followed and the two whispered and giggled a bit.
Haven: Are you still suspicious of anyone?
He whispered to Dusk.
Dusk: Hm? Uh...Guess not. We haven't really heard anything odd as of late. I just tried not to worry about it much now.
Haven: That's good to know. Thanks for taking my advice.
Dusk: Eh, it worked.
Lawson: What are you two whispering about so secretly?
Haven: Was just asking her about her patrol.
Dusk stared at Haven for a minute before looking to Lawson.
Dusk: By the way, where did you guys go out there?
Lawson: We went a bit far this time. We've already search everywhere close by the school. We went to the old shopping mall in the city center. We've been eying that place for quite a long time.
Dawn: Wow, you went all the way over there?
Lawson: It took us less time than we thought. As expected, there was a lot of them in there.
Haven: The food market was underground, so we hesitated for a bit.
Lawson: That's why it was a gamble.
Ezra: ........
Ezra: You should have brought me.
Lawson: I guess it'd have been much easier with Ezra.
Zion: Yeah, he's the biggest and strongest guy here.
Dusk: I can't imagine how hard it must have been in the dark.
Haven: We didn't get to explore the entire floor but we still managed to fill all our bags.
Lawson: I definitely want to go back and bring back more goods later.
Ezra: Bring me too next time.
Twilight: I still think the underground floors are too dangerous.
Ezra: But we have to eat.
Dawn: True, but there must be safer places we could try.
Lawson: Don't worry. I think we managed to draw enough of them out of the building. I'm sure there's going to be a lot less of them next time. What are you think, Dawn?
Dawn: Hmm...About how people can be different from how they first seem?
Lawson: I think, I know what you mean. Sme people look weak on the outside, but are strong on the inside, don't you think?
Dawn: I suppose... What do you think of me and my siblings then?
Lawson: I think you three are one of those people too. Someone who doesn't look much like a fighter, but actually has a strong heart.
Lawson smiled.
Dusk: Oh? You think?
Edison would enter the room then now yawning.
Edison: Gee...I'm so tired.
Zion: You're late, bro.
Haven: Were you napping?
Edison: Nah, I just finished patrol.
Lawson: Were you on the fourth floor then?
Edison: Yeah but...never mind.
Zion: What the heck was that?
Skarlet: He looks like something happened.
Edison: Nah, forget it. I'm not gonna snitch. Nothing happened, really. I just was going to ask if we could move to the fourth floor. There's more sun up there, so... But then I realized it's more windy up there too, and it's closer to the roof. Anyways...How was your mission out there?
Zion: It was lit, bro! Wanna see how much food I got?
Zion grinned and laid a bunch of food on the desk now.
Lawson: Great, let's take inventory while we're at it.
Edison: Hold up, you brought all this? Man, that's awesome! How'd you manage to do this?
Zion grinned.
Zion: I guess you could say it's our look from beating all those zombies!
Dawn looked to the door and wondered where is Jody? She never came back from patrol.
Earlier....
Near the cafeteria someone opened the door as Jody was dragged out by zombies as she screamed trying to run back in, but a person slammed the door shut on her as Jody was screaming for help. Zombies would bite, and chew her up. Ripping her apart and killing her....
What happened? Who could of done this? To be continued...

Chapter 9
In the main classroom...
Skarlet: Say it! I want you to say it! Right now! I know you did it!!!! Just admit that you did it, and get the hell out of here!
A few moments earlier....
Zion was bragging as Edison laughed about the mall. Jim listened too and laugh a bit. Skarlet seemed to be in a good mood. Ezra was quiet and watched the others. Haven playfully interrupted Zion.
Once the chit chat ended. People started to leave to head to their room.
Twilight was one of the last there with Skarlet now.
Twilight: Good night, Skarlet.
Twilight opened the door to head back to his room. Before he could leave, his hair was grabbed and dragged back into the classroom.
Twilight: Ow!
Skarlet slammed the door shut and glared at Twilight's face.
Twilight: What are you doing?
Skarlet shoved Twilight into the wall hard.
Skarlet: You! You were in my room, weren't you?
Twilight: What? I'm sorry, but I don't even know which classroom's yours.
Skarlet: You know, there's one thing I have to give to you. That is, that you're really good at playing stupid.
Twilight: What are you talking about?
Skarlet: Just give it back.
Twilight: What? Is it because my sister didn't give you any food that time? Are you still hungry?
Skarlet: what the hell are you on about? NO! I'm talking about what you stole from me! I know you went through my bag!
Twilight: I never went in your bag...I don't even know how it looks like.
Skarlet: Don't pretend you don't know Remember that day when you kept whining about your lips chapped? Your sisters sure didn't, but you did. You left the classroom alone for a while. And then that night, my lip balm was gone. How can you explain that?
Twilight: Wha? Why would I steal your lip balm?! I haven't done anything and I don't understand why you keep picking on me and my sisters like this. What is your problem?
Skarlet: My problem is you stealing my stuff and being a pain in the @$$! I know it was you!
Twilight: What really makes you think, I was the one that did it? Don't you think you're being unreasonable here?
Skarlet: I can't believe this! You think you're in a position to raise your voice at me?! You are one who committed the crime! You stole from me, so you should apologize! YOU WITCH!
Twilight was about to offer to help look, till Skarlet slapped him across the face hard. As it echoed loudly on that floor!
Ezra ran in as he said after.
Ezra: Stop it, you two!
Sen ran in next.
Sen: What's wrong with you, Skarlet?
Skarlet: Oh my gosh! Guys, look at his eyes! He's absolutely gone mad!
Zion: Please just quit it already, Skarlet.
Zion grabbed her as did Ezra and both took Skarlet out of the room.
Lawson came in after.
Lawson: Are you okay? Skarlet is back in her room. I asked some of the others to stay guard in the corridor until she calms down, so you can relax. Haven said he'd come check on you...But I came instead of him, since he's not really good with girl stuff.
Twilight: Oh...Okay.
Lawson: I heard what happened, even though I suspect it was only part of the story. She said you stole something from her, Did you?
Twilight shook his head holding his cheek.
Twilight: No, no way.
Lawson: Yeah, I believe you.
He'd smile.
Twilight: If you want proof, you're more than welcome to check all my stuff. Not that I even know what her lip balm looks like, but I don't even have lip balm of my own.
Lawson: That won't be necessary.
Twilight: Oh? You believe me, just like that?
Lawson: I can just tell. It's one of my gifts. I'll let the other guys know you didn't steal it. And I think you should skip your turn for the night watch tonight. How about getting some rest instead?
Lawson would leave the classroom after.
Later that night...
Dusk sat in the main classroom looking out the window. The door would open as Edison entered.
Edison: Hey. Are you...Okay?
Dusk: No, I'm not! I'm ticked off what that @#$%& did to my brother!
Edison: Of course. In this situation, how could you not be? If it was me, I would've completely snapped at her. Good for Twilight keeping his cool.
Dusk: Man, I just want @#$% to be normal and chill.
Edison: Why are you so obsessed with staying here?
Dusk: Cause this way, we aren't alone. It's easier to be in a group of people than to have few numbers. Plus keeps the social @#$% in the norm.
Edison: .......
Edison nodded.
Edison: Oh by the way...Have you seen Jody?
Dusk: No, I think Dawn went to see where she went. I haven't seen her at all today, why?
Edison: Actually...darn it. Okay, I wasn't gonna tell anyone but...Since you're friends with her. I'll just tell you. She didn't come for the patrol today.
Dusk: Really?
Edison: Yeah, so...I've been trying to talk to her, but I can't find her anywhere. I knocked on her door with Dawn, but Dawn hasn't seen her. When Dawn wasn't in there, got no answer when I checked again. Do you know why she backed out? Man, I was so ticked I was like...screw the patrol! But I figured I'd just get @#$% for it if I didn't go. So, I just did it myself. At least she could've let me know if she was sick or something. I don't get it.
Dusk: She skipped the patrol? I would have noticed if she felt sick, her room is next to mine...That's weird. She's probably still sleeping, let me check on her.
In the hallway Dawn met up with Dusk and Edison as Dawn said after.
Dawn: I looked carefully...Nothing, maybe she's back?
Dusk: Huh? Jody? Hey Jody! Are you a sleep? Edison just told me that you skipped patrol today. Are you feeling alright?
Dawn opened the door to look inside...It was empty.
Dawn, Edison and Dusk looked worried as Jody is missing?
Will they ever find out the truth? To be continued...

Chapter 10
That night in the main classroom...A meeting was held.
Lawson: I know we decided not to have patrols tonight, but...I've gathered you all here because there's something important I want to discuss.
Zion: Do we really have to do this in the middle of the night?
Sen: What is it?
Haven: Did something happen?
Edison: ......
Dawn, Twilight and Dusk: .........
Lawson: Jody has been missing since the patrol this morning. Has anyone seen her?
Zion: She's disappeared? I haven't seen her.
Hannah: Come to think of it...she's usually pretty loud, but I haven't heard her today.
Skarlet: I knew this would happen. I told you there's something suspicious about her.
Jim: Maybe she ran away?
Dawn: No, she didn't tell me anything about running away.
Jim: Do you usually let people know before you run away?
Dusk: NO! she means Jody wouldn't do anything to make people worry. That's what she is saying!
Skarlet: Then how come you have no idea where she went? Ever since you three came here, all these weird things are happening. You know that, right? This is all because of you three!
Haven: You know this isn't the time for this. Arguing is just a waste of time. It won't resolve anything.
Skarlet: We could kick them out.
Haven snapped at Skarlet.
Haven: Cut it out! We're talking about a missing person here!
Skarlet sighed.
Skarlet: I'll let them go for now, but you'd better be careful. Who has been sharing a room with Jody? Anyone remember? Hmmm?
Everyone stared at Dawn.
Hannah: Umm...
Zion smirked.
Zion: Dawn did? Hahahaha!
Edison: Why would someone who loves being with other people hurt her own friend?
Haven: Yeah, it doesn't make sense at all, and I don't want to suspect anyone without any reasons.
Sen: We can't just pin it on Dawn while there are so many other possibilities to explain Jody's disappearance.
Ezra nodded.
Lawson: We could start the search now but...I'm afraid it's too dark outside, and I don't want to take any more risks.
Dawn: ......
Lawson: But we can't just sit and do nothing about it, either. I have some flashlights I've kept away.
Edison: How come you never mentioned about this before?
Lawson: Since we don't have any way to get more batteries, I wanted to save them for when they were really needed. I have two of them. Let's team up and search outside this building. But don't go too far. We'll just check within the school grounds. And we must stay together. Any volunteers? I feel like four people in total would be sufficient.
Ezra: I'll go.
Dawn: Same.
Skarlet: Count me out. I don't want to end up just like Jody.
Hannah: I think I'll...Umm...S-sorry.
Edison: I'm not really into walking around late at night.
Zion: I'll go. I feel like she'll do something annoying again.
Zion went to stand but Skarlet pulled his arm to sit down. She'd shake her head a lot.
Zion looked at her annoyed and mouth what to her quietly before he just sighed and sat back down.
Zion: Fine...! Cancel that. Skarlet says she's scared.
Skarlet: ZION!
Sen: I'm not sure if I'll be any help, but I'll go with you if you want.
Dawn: Tank you, Sen.
Sen smiled lightly.
Sen: No worries.
Lawson: Alright. I'll be the fourth member. Shall we get ready then?
They got the flashlights ready and the four went ahead...
They search the halls and outside the school yard. However.....There was 0 traces of Jody anywhere. Ezra killed a zombie with his bat when it was alone, but no traces...Anywhere of Jody.
Ezra: .....
Lawson: I don't think she's out here.
Dawn sighed and looked pass the gates now.
Lawson: No, It's dangerous to go outside the fences.
Ezra: There are too many zombies on that side.
Dawn: Yes...I know.
Lawson patted Dawn's shoulder
Later...Dawn returned with them back to the main floor.
Edison: Oh, you guys are back?
Dawn: You're still up?
Edison: How can I sleep in this situation? And there's...Man...There's a bit of a problem back in there. Haven's trying to work it out but...You'd better be prepared.
Ezra: ...It's fine.
Dusk and Twilight walked over hearing Skarlet yelling in the main room as Dawn rolled her eyes and went in first.
Skarlet: Even Jody said something's up with them, you know?
Dawn: What?
Hannah: Um...Were you guys able to find her?
Sen: No...No luck.
Ezra: We looked everywhere we could.
Hannah: Oh I see...
Skarlet: Of course you couldn't find her, since a certain someone doesn't want us to find her.
Lawson: Skarlet you'd better have some proof before you make an accusation like that.
Jim: Every time about the proof. How many victims have to disappear before you get your head out of the sand?!
Haven: What do you mean victim? No one even knows what has happened.
Jim: So we're supposed to just wait until someone can be sure?
Haven sighed.
Haven: Let's all just stop. This is completely pointless. Please, everyone just stop arguing. Let's all calm down and talk.
Dawn: Skarlet. Why do you think a person has something to do with Jody's disappearance?
Skarlet: People don't just disappear like that, you know? Like with no traces and stuff. If she was attacked by a zombie, wouldn't we find some bloodstains or any other traces from the attack?
Dawn: Okay, let's say that's the case. Let's suppose one of us did it. Why do you think it would have been me?
Skarlet: You're the only one who'd do something like that!
Dawn rolled her eyes lightly.
Skarlet: Unless she left the campus, we could have found her somewhere. But do you really think she'd just leave?
Edison: She might have.
Edison said as he entered the room. Zion followed.
Zion: Lawson asked me to check the storage room, so I did... And some of our food has gone missing.
Lawson: Looks like it is possible that she ran away.
Zion looked to Skarlet.
Zion: What? Are you gonna say she took the food, too?
Skarlet: Whatever! I'm done here!
Skarlet would storm out.
Haven: Man...
Zion: This is great.
Twilight sighed.
Twilight: Yeah, can't get any better...
Zion grinned.
Zion: Ha, I didn't know you could be sarcastic. Man...I don't get what's with her. I think she's a bit overly sensitive these days. Don't take this personally but... You know, she just doesn't like any of you three.
Haven: Did you really have to say it like that? You must be so worried.
Dusk: Jody? Yeah, hopefully she's fine.
Lawson: Let's call it a night and go get some sleep. It won't be easy, but we need to restore energy for our search tomorrow.
People started leaving the main class to go to their own rooms. Ezra and Dawn were the last two left.
Dawn: Hey...Ezra. Can I ask you for a favor?
Ezra: As long as it doesn't involve leaving the campus.
Dawn: Of course not. I just wanna do more search in the building, that's all.
Ezra: Anywhere in particular?
Dawn: Not really. But I just can't stand not doing anything. I know it wouldn't be easy...But I want to check the places that are still locked.
Ezra and Dawn went to look about...They would enter another classroom.
Dawn: Could there be anything useful here?
The two looked through the night....Will they ever know what happened to Jody? To be continued...

Chapter 11
Ezra brought something from the back off the classroom now.
Dawn: Oh that looks like it can work.
Ezra: This is a pry bar, but people call it crowbar too.
Ezra went with Dawn to the library now...
Ezra: You ready?
Dawn: Yes, let's do this.
Ezra struck the crowbar into the hinge now. With a crack the door broke open as Ezra pulled the crowbar. Ezra went inside with the crowbar as he looked about first to see if he has to swing it.
Dawn: I kind of regret coming here.
Ezra: .......
Dawn notice it looked dusty as Ezra walked around to scan the area.
Dawn would eventually go through the drawers and counters. After finding nothing so useful Dawn would sigh lightly. Ezra would walk over.
Ezra: Not much in here.
Dawn: Yeah, I guess I was wrong about this place. Pardon me to waste your time, Ezra.
Ezra shook his head.
Dawn: You're always so quiet but I feel comfortable around you for some reason. You know, it's weird.
Ezra: Um...
He was silent and shrugged his shoulders as he pointed across the bookcase. Dawn nodded and went ahead.
Dawn: Should we bring back some books while we're here?
Ezra: Let's take the most burnable ones.
Dawn: Hmm....Some of these have plastic covers on them. Ah, they must be new books.
Dawn took a few books then saw on that was title 'The Reason for Hope' she would frown for a bit.
Dawn: Ezra.
Ezra: Yeah?
Dawn: You think there's hope...for us?
Ezra: Um...I have thought about it since all of this happened. But couldn't it be something that we have to create for ourselves as we go? Hope, that is.
Dawn: .......
Dawn frowned as she was in deep thought, unaware a single tear fell from one eyes as Ezra rushed over.
Ezra: Are you...crying?
Dawn blinked and wiped her eye as she shook her head lightly. Once done, the two left...
The next morning....
Dawn woke up alone. Since Jody isn't there. Waking up first she went to the main classroom and gaze out the window being alone there for now.
Skarlet opened the door and saw Dawn as she said after.
Skarlet: What the...
She would turn right around and leave the room.
Dawn rolled her eyes a bit and went back to looking out the window.
Twilight entered as he was about to check on Dawn till, Zion entered and said after.
Zion: Good morn-eh? Hey, where are you going? Hey, Skarlet!
Zion turned around and ran after her now. Twilight just shrugged his shoulders.
Twilight: I couldn't sleep well either.
Dawn: Same.
Edison came in.
Edison: Wow. What a great way to start the morning.
Haven entered as did Dusk now.
Haven: Did you get some sleep?
Edison: What do you think?
Haven: I'll take that as a no.
Edison: ......
Dusk: Yeah, well same.
Dawn: Hello everyone...
Edison: How did you sleep, Dawn?
Dawn: Well... Not much.
Haven: Well, I guess you really couldn't.
Zion came back annoyed.
Zion: Geez...What the heck is up with that girl? She's not coming. Says she's too scared to be with those three.
Lawson entered now.
Lawson: So, she's absent for the meeting?
Zion: I guess so.
The others would enter now. Lawson smiled to the others and waved to them.
Lawson: Not much we can do about it. Meeting attendance is mandatory, but we are human after all. I guess we'll just have to make an exception for her this time.
Zion: You want me to go talk to her again?
Sen: Just leave her alone. She'll come if she wants.
Jim: Yeah, if.
Dusk glared at Jim.
Hannah: Where's Ezra?
Zion: He's sleeping in? That is so unlike him.
Hannah: I-I can go...
Lawson: I'll go wake him up.
Lawson went to go get Ezra. Few minutes later, he'd return with Ezra who is half a sleep.
Lawson: Today we need to decide who goes searching outside. Normally, our main duties include patrolling the area and gathering food. But from now on we have an additional task. We'll be also looking for Jody while we're out. Even if she left here voluntarily, since she didn't even say a word. I believe we at least need to get confirmation. But please keep in mind that it is not our first priority. You're going today, right?
Dawn: Yes, please let me go.
Lawson: You can if you want. I just hope you don't get distracted by thoughts about your friend, and end up hurting yourself. I trust you'll stay careful.
Dawn: Okay, i'll be careful.
Lawson smiled.
The team consisted of Jim, Lawson, Edison and Dawn.
They would move to the storage room now to get some equipement.
Jim: This is ridiculous...Aight, I'm gonna be straight up with y'all. Why the hell do I have to be part of this? I don't get why we're searching for someone who left here of her own will.
Jim angrily threw the metal pipe at the floor.
Lawson: We are supposed to do our patrol anyway.
Edison: Besides, you haven't even done it for a while, Jim. You can't just keep dumping it on us, you know. It's everyone's duty.
Jim: But how long do we have to put up with her?
He pointed to Dawn.
Edison: What does she have to do with this?
Jim: Whatever. I'm only looking for food and that's it. Okay?
Edison: Man...
Dawn: Whatever the case, I'm at least grateful you're coming with us.
Edison: Geez...You don't have to be nice all the time.
Dawn looked for a weapon as Jim said after.
Jim: Hey, how about this?
Jim tossed that weapon hard and fast at Dawn. Dawn blinked and quickly caught it before it would even hit her...Barely. She notice it was a pole that belong to a mop. She swung it with ease.
Dawn: I like it...Thanks.
Jim gritted his teeth.
Jim:..............
The four will be venturing out of the school! How will the adventure go! Stay tune.

Chapter 12
The four of them would move in the streets now in daylight hours. They check some places were they believe Jody could be.
Edison: Okay, so far we've found...One bag of frozen perogies.
Dawn: Well....They are hard as rocks. Maybe we can use them as weapons?
Edison wigged at that.
Edison: Please tell me you're kidding. We've been out longer than usual and all we found is this. There's nothing left around here.
Lawson: Shhh. Keep it down. Let's make one more stop and head back.
Dawn: How about that one over there?
Dawn pointed to the building across the street. Had a banner that said 'Stationery' on it.
Jim: I don't care. Let's just make it quick. I'm so sick of this area now. We've been here like a million times.
Edison: I never thought I'd agree with you.
Dawn: It doesn't look so big. It won't take too long.
The four of them would head inside now as Lawson said.
Lawson: Hmm...I didn't expect to see loads of stuff but, it's too empty.
Edison: Yeah, looks like we're too late. It must have been a sweet day for whoever got here first.
Jim: What? It's empty? Then let's please just head back!
Lawson: If you're not gonna help us with the search, maybe you can be on the watch by the entrance.
Jim: Tsk!
Jim stomped off to where the entrance is now, to keep watch.
Dawn went about to check places and go through things to see if Jody might be hiding. After not finding her she just stuff her bag with some goods...Which wasn't much.
Dawn: I don't think there's much to bring back here...
She'd zip her bag and walk over to Edison now.
Dawn: What are you looking at there?
Edison: Ah, it's a claw crane. I was just looking at the prizes. Wanna take a look for yourself?
Dawn walked over.
Dawn: It's not for looking. It's for playing. Give me one second.
She'd check her dress pocket for change finding a couple.
Edison: What? You looking for change? Hey, if I wanted the prizes. I would have just busted the window open and taken them. Forget it.
Dawn: No. No. I found it, I'll give you one if I win.
Dawn put the coin in as the machine still worked. Once she used the crane she pick a prize and Edison went to get what it was.
Edison: I said I'm fine...
Dawn: How about a thank you very much?
Edison: Well, I gotta see if I like the prize first!
Dawn took the capsule and opened it.
Dawn: Oh...It's cute, it looks just like you.
Edison: It's just like me? It must be a really handsome toy. Let me see.
Dawn smirked and handed it to Edison as it was a chick wearing a hat, like Edison.
Edison: No way I look like this!
Edison exclaimed as Lawson said.
Lawson: Are you guys ready to go?
Dawn: Yes.
They would turn to walk to the entrance now.
Edison: Come on, Dawn! Be honest. I don't really look like this, right?
Dawn: Well, you two do look identical. You should keep it as your mascot.
She giggled as Edison grumbled a lot. Lawson put a finger near his lips to get them to be quiet.
At the entrance it was sunset now...
Jim: What took you so long?
Lawson: Was there anything strange?
Jim: The fact that it's already getting late.
Edison: Okay, okay. We're here now. Let's get moving.
Lawson: It did take a bit more time than expected. Since we've already gone through the stores near the school...We've went out quite far.
Edison: Man, it's gonna take us forever to get back.
Lawson: Our shadows are longer in the evening, which means it's that much easier for the zombies to spot us. Keep that in mind and be extra careful. And we really have to be quiet now, got it?
As they work there way home, they used gestures and nodding to communicate. While walking, Lawson suddenly raised his arm to make us stop walking.
Edison: ?
Jim: ......
Lawson pointed to five zombies staggering ahead. The four decided to take a detour now to move away from the zombies.
Edison would whisper to Dawn.
Edison: How does he know this way?
Dawn: Well, that's what makes him the leader, right?
Edison: Does he have a GPS in his head or something?
They would go through a alley way now passing a old station on the way...
Jim: Man, how much longer do we have to go? Are you sure this is even the right way?
Lawson whispered.
Lawson: Shh, be quiet.
Jim whispered back.
Jim: Darn it! Just tell me how far are we?
Lawson: I don't know. I'm sure we're pretty close. So, just keep quiet.
Jim: If you ever tyr to get me to do this again...
Suddenly loud glass could be heard near the station as it sounded like something busted in.
Jim: AHHHHHH!!!
Dawn eyes widen huge.

DANGER!!!! DANGER!!!! CRITICAL CHAPTER!!!! IN THIS CHAPTER ONE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS IS IN DANGER!!!!
Jim saw a zombie bust through a window near him and Dawn as he said after.
Jim: LOOK OUT!!!
Jim shove Dawn as she would fall down the stairs from it, but it gets her away from the zombies.
Dawn: Ahhh!!!
Lawson: Dawn!!!
Edison: Oh no! Dawn!!!
Dawn would fall down the stairs and fell out cold below...As a small growl could be heard below...
Couple of minutes later...
Dawn opened her eyes as she notice her hands were scratched up and bleeding a bit from the fall. She sit up and glanced around seeing the downstairs are is dark and another floor level of the station.
Dawn: Ugh...
Dawn moved her fingers but wince due to the cuts along her palms.
Dawn: Stings...But still alive. I remember someone pushing me...Jim, I need to get back upstairs to talk to him.
Dawn went to stand up, but her legs were horribly bruised as she winced and can hardly move much, but notice it was one of her ankles that flared up more so. She'd cough after, realizing how much dust is down here.
Dawn: Ugh...so much dust.
Dawn looked about but it was too dark to see much... She notice only source of light was upstairs. Dawn would call out.
Dawn: Hey, you guys! I'm down here! Can you hear me?
Hearing nothing, Dawn grew concerned a bit. She went to move to the stairs, but that right ankle hurt like heck as she winced.
Dawn: Ugh!
Dawn fell onto the ground and winced a bit. Studying it as she realized she sprained it.
Dawn: Of all things...
Dawn leaned on a furniture near by but notice everything is mostly empty when her eyes adjusted to the dark. Eventually, she gradually forced herself to stand up at least. However, it would be challenge to go up the stairs...
Dawn: Lawson! Edison! Jim!
She'd call out, but hear nothing. Soon though she'd hear rattling noise!
Dawn: ......
Turning she saw a zombie dragging itself out of a near by room. Dawn's eyes went huge. She notice one of it's legs is horribly busted, so it can only move really slowly. She notice the zombie slowly limping it's way to her.
Dawn went to move, and notice the plastic pole near her feet now.
Dawn: So this is where it went!
She'd reach down and grab it now. The zombie reached out over to grab Dawn now as Dawn swung the pole at it's arms. However...Her hands winced, as she just missed and the pole flew out of her hand, due to her palms bleeding.
Dawn: Oh no...
The pole went pass the zombie now, out of her reach. Dawn panic as she freaked out and looked about feeling with her hand to see if she can grab anything?!
Chapter pause...........Dawn must pick one of three objects to defend herself and assist her....But which will she grab?
Option A - A Big white fluffy stuff bear....... Option B - A white lip balm, and white make up powder..........Option C - A set of white biker gloves and a long sharp 2x4.

Unpause of the Danger Chapter...
Dawn would take a step back as something hit her heel and she blinked looking down. Seeing the 2x4 with a sharp edge as well as some white biker gloves. She's put the gloves on now as she reached to pick up the 2x4.
Dawn: Let's give this a shot...
With the gloves on her scraped hands didn't bother her picking up the 2x4.
The zombie growled and moved to Dawn as Dawn gripped the 2x4 tightly now. She would focus looking at the head. She'd take a deep breathe and swung it when close right at it's head now.
The zombie was hit hard as it fell to the ground now. The zombie clearly busted and killed off by the head shot.
After she would use the 2x4 as a cane to help her walk up the stairs now. However, it was hard due to the pain to keep her balance. In the end she did make it half way up the stairs now, despite the pain.
Dawn: Oh no!
She stumbled as her ankle still hurt and she started to teether backwards now.
Lawson: NO!!!!
Lawson reached out before she could fall and grab her arms now.
Edison called from up top.
Edison: Lawson! Dawn!
Lawson pulled Dawn over to him and helped her up to the stairs.
Lawson: I thought I was too late.
Dawn: Same here...Thank you, guys. You saved my life.
Edison: Dawn, are you hurt? It didn't bite you, right?
Edison notice her ankle swollen.
Dawn: I just scraped my hands when I fell, but my ankle got sprained. It'll be fine though.
Edison: I was just about to say...It's so swollen. It must hurt really bad?
Lawson: I'm so relieved nothing else happened.
Dawn: Yes, but what happened up there? I think I heard something earlier.
The two of them sighed. Edison said after.
Edison: Let's just get outta here first. I'll tell you everything later...
Lawson closed his eyes.
Lawson: Edison's right, let's get back to the school first. Anyways, I feel like we'll be late if we have you walk like that all the way back.
Edison: I could give her a piggyback ride.
Lawson: Hmm, could you do that? I'll lead the way.
Dawn: Wait a moment...Where's Jim?
The two remained silent...
Unaware that when Jim pushed Dawn, he sacrificed himself as the zombies ate and kill him...

Chapter 13
Dawn: Where is Jim?
Edison: Get on my back first, I'll explain on the way.
Dawn: Sure...
Edison crouch down as Dawn got up onto his back now as he would stand up. Lawson went to check first, as Edison followed him. Once upstairs they notice blood everywhere as it was clear Edison and Lawson were fighting zombies. Many dead bodies laid on the ground, among them the remains of Jim.
Dawn: Oh my...
Lawson: We were lucky it was a narrow alley. If they had surrounded us we would've been screwed.
Dawn: Wait, does that mean...Jim...
Edison: They got him. He was taken so fast, we couldn't save him...
Dawn looked horrified and stun.
Edison: You're better off not seeing it. Let's...just leave. There's nothing we can do. This is how the world is now. One minute you're with them, and then the next minute, they're gone.
Once outside they would begin their walk back to the school. Back at the school in the main classroom...
Skarlet was accusing Dawn of killing Jim, while the others look worried and some were suspicious. Twilight was just done with the fighting this as he left the room and notice as she walked down the walkway a swoosh went by him!
Twilight noticed a shadow walking down the hallway now and he ran after it. He'd turned the corner but lost sight of them as he went down stairs. Freezing he would hear a door creeeaaak open. But it was coming from deep below...?
Twilight went down further and notice the stairs leads to the basement?
Once in the basement it was pitched black.
Twilight: Ugh...I wish I bought my flashlight.
Twilight reached along the wall, he found a light switch and flicked it on as surprisingly the lights came on in the basement?!
Twilight: Wait...How? I thought...There was no power?
Twilight glanced about to see if he could spot anyone, but he accidentally knocked a couple of boxes.
Twilight: Oh no...
He notice no more noises came as he looked down at the floor.
Twilight: Hm...What's this stuff? old newspaper...candy wrappers? A hairpin...wait...
Twilight's eyes widen as he held the hairpin and recalled that it was Jody's
Twilight: Why...Is this here?
Shaking his head he took the hairpin and ran out of the basement quickly now. Dusk ran down the stairs as she ran into Twilight and blinked a bit.
Dusk: There you are!
Twilight just missed her and almost crashed into Zion, but paused as Zion glared at Twilight face to face.
Zion: Hey, what are you doing here?
Haven followed and said after.
Haven: Where are you going?
Zion: What? Where are you going?
Haven: What's wrong? You okay?
Twilight: Guys...I have something to tell you guys.
Dusk: Huh?
Zion arched a brow.
Zion: What is it? What's going on? And why are you looking so pale? Did you see a ghost or something?
Haven: Come on...a ghost?
Dusk: .......
Zion: Well, look how pale he is.
Haven: So, what happened?
Twilight sighed and showed them the hairpin.
Zion: A hairpin? What about it?
Dusk: That's...That's...
Twilight: This is Jody's.
Zion: I didn't know she wore that kinda stuff. Maybe she did. I don't know. So what? She left here voluntarily.
Twilight: No...That's not true. This is the proof that she didn't.
Zion: What are you talking about?
Zion sighed annoyed.
Zion: Just help me understand.
Haven: I've seen this before. This is something she used to wear. But I still don't understand, Twilight. You have such a serious expression on you face. Is it something about this hairpin?
Twilight: ......
Haven: Twilight?
Zion gritted his teeth.
Zion: There has to be something, since you're making us wait like this. What are you so worried about? Just tell us already.
Haven: It's fine. Could you tell us?
Twilight: I went to the basement...
Haven: What? Why would you go down there?
Zion yelled right at Twilight.
Zion: You're completely out of your mind, don't you know that's the way to the middle school? We blocked the way there because it's dangerous, but you still went?!
Haven looked worried.
Dusk: Cut it out!
Haven: But Dusk, what if something happened? You yourself promised me not to do anything dangerous. I think it's the same for him.
Twilight: But...i heard a strange noise...
Zion: Geez, not again! Did it not occur to you that you could have talked to us first?
Twilight: Well...I thought you wouldn't believe me.
Zion: What?!
Dusk rolled her eyes.
Dusk: I believe yo-
Haven: Wait, Zion. I don't think he's lying about what he heard. Let him talk.
Zion paused.
Zion: ...I never said he was lying.
Dusk: Talk, what's up?
Twilight: There was this big pile of boxes in the basement. And this was one of them. She was wearing this the whole time until she disappeared. But why would this be in a box in the basement?
Haven blinked.
Haven: So...Twilight, what you're saying is...
Twilight sighed.
Twilight: I don't want me or my sisters to be blamed anymore.
Dusk: Right, we were one of the people who believed Jody wouldn't leave this place on her own. But also the same ones who go the blame cause she went poof. Which sucks.
Twilight: Yeah...We didn't do anything. So, I wanted to prove that to everyone.
Haven: Hmm...
Twilight: So basically, you think there's someone in this school behind all this.
Haven: But...You know what? You're right. I think there's been enough evidence to say that. I guess I can't really ask you to stop suspecting people here.
Zion: Enough evidence? What do you mean?
Haven: Actually, there's something me and Dusk haven't told you guys.
Twilight: ?
Zion: What? You know you're not supposed to keep secrets.
Haven: I'm sorry, but...I didn't want to split us up like the last time.
Zion: Well, I do understand where you're coming from....So what's the secret?
Haven: Someone has been accessing the broadcasting room.
Zion: Oh? But that room is locked.
Haven: Just like you, we all thought it was locked. So we went there to try out the key we found. But the door was already open. The key didn't even fit. The room was strangely clean, and it didn't feel abandoned like the rest of the places we've found so far.
Zion: And you decided to keep that a secret from us?
Haven: Since we didn't know what was going on, I wanted to be completely sure before I'd tell everyone. I'm sorry for complicating things.
Twilight: Wow...
Dusk: Yeah...That all happened.
Zion: Hey, Twilight, Dusk let me just ask you one thing. You really have nothing to do with the whole Jody thing?
Dusk: @#$% no.
Twilight: I don't. Dawn doesn't either.
Zion grinned.
Zion: A straight-forward answer, I like it.
Zion rested a hand on Twilight's shoulder.
Zion: Alright, I'll help you guys.
Twilight: With what?
Zion: You really can't remember what we were just talking about?
Haven: Thanks, Zion.
Haven smiled as Dusk said after.
Dusk: Heh.
Zion: Why are you thanking me?
Haven: For believing us. It would have been much harder if we had to suspect each other.
Zion: Ah...But I really have no clue what to make of all this.
Dusk: So, where do we start here?
Zion: We cant' just go around and start interrogating people without a plan. There's also a possibility it isn't someone from the group.
Haven: Right. That's why we should really stick together for this and trust each other. I have an idea.
The plot thickens....

Chapter 14
Haven smiled kindly to the two.
Dusk: So, how exactly you wanna do this?
Haven: The boxes, you didn't find them by yourself. We all went to the basement together and found them.
Twilight: But...That'd be lying.
Zion: Yeah, you're telling us to lie to the others?
Haven: It is true that we would be lying. But I want to avoid a situation where one person gets all the suspicion. Like what happened earlier, Remember? When you get nervous and Dusk gets agitated...The truth about the situation, or who you are as a person, stops mattering.
Zion: I get it. The way you found the hairpin was a bit sus to be honest. But wouldn't it be better to exclude them from the story completely?
Haven: You have to mix in some amount of truth into a lie for it to be believable. I don't like having to lie about things all the time either...But to be honest I don't think it's an intruder. Sorry, it used to be me who disliked putting suspicion on people. Funny, isn't it?
Zion: ......Not really. Actually, since it's you saying that. Ahem, it feels way more serious. But Twilight did you have a flashlight?
Haven: Why do you ask?
Zion: He said he went to the basement, it would have been completely dark down there.
Twilight: Oh, that's another thing...
Zion: There's more?
Twilight: The lights work down there.
Zion looked stun.
Zion: The lights worked? How is that even possible?
Haven: It doesn't matter, it doesn't make all this any less suspicious.
Zion: Man....This is more than serious. No matter if it's someone in our group or not, we really shouldn't underestimate them. But we can't just sit by idly and ignore it either.
Haven: Right, so I was thinking... Maybe we can all go down there together and do a quick search ourselves.
Dusk: That's not like you, Haven.
Haven: I know but...Heh, Even though it's not like me, it has to be done. Since I've already gotten suspicious, I feel it's best to clear everything out as soon as possible.
Dusk: Hm, alright fine, ya got a point. My bad.
Haven: Nah, I would have thought the same as you. One thing that's sure is that I can't do this alone. I hope you three will go with me.
Twilight: Sure, I will.
Dusk: I want to find out too.
Zion: I said I'd help, so...Are we going right away? Looks like we haven't got enough time.
Haven: It's almost time for the meeting. Let's get back to the classroom. We'll check out the basement tomorrow, after the morning patrol. How does that sound?
Zion: Sounds like a plan.
Haven and Dusk return to the main class room as Twilight was about to go...but...
Zion: Wait, Twilight. You got a minute?
Twilight paused and looked at him.
Twilight: Sure, what's up?
Zion: I just want to straighten things up with you.
Twilight blinked as Dusk and Haven went ahead watching that they left as Zion narrowed his eyes at Twilight.
Zion: What are you looking? I'm talking to you.
Twilight turned his head quickly to Zion.
Zion: So, you went somewhere just because you heard a noise?
Twilight: Well...I was just trying to...
Zion glared at Twilight now.
Zion: You didn't even have anyone nearby. Hey, not even Ezra does things on his own, you know?
Twilight blinked a bit.
Twilight: You...were worried about me?
Zion arched a brow and snapped at him.
Zion: Who says I was worried? I told you to stay out of trouble!
Twilight sighed and turned to go up the stairs.
Twilight: Okay...That's all you wanted to say then...I'm heading up now.
Zion called back to him before he can go sharply too.
Zion: Hey, hey I'm not done yet.
Twilight looked over his shoulders at him, blinking a lot.
Twilight: What is it?
Zion: Okay, fine. So, tomorrow...When we're down in the basement...If anything happens to you, just roll to the side. I'll be on your right the whole time. Got it?
Twilight: You want me to remember that in a dangerous situation?
Zion raised his voice at him now.
Zion: Just try to remember it or something. Weren't we late? Let's hurry.
Zion went to the main classroom now as Twilight blinked a lot confused but followed.
In the main classroom...
The meeting went by and a moment of silence for Jim.
Lawson: May he rest in peace and be remembered by us all. I want you to not feel too guilty about surviving the incident. Since we have to keep on living.
Hannah sighed.
Hannah: I'm sorry, I don't feel like eating today...
Sen: Bring it with you. It's fine.
Lawson: Didn't we make a rule that we always eat together?
Sen: Lawson, sometimes exceptions to our rules are needed.
Hannah: ...Thank you.
Hannah took a piece of bread and left.
Skarlet took her food and stormed out with Hannah too.
Lawson sighed.
Lawson: This is why I said no. The scarier and suspicious things get, the more we need to stay as a group.
Ezra: That way we can protect each other.
Zion: Hey, Skarlet. Did you hear that?
Edison: Leave her be. You're not her baby sitter or anything.
Sen: I guess we'll just check up on those two every now and then.
Haven: Yeah, we can't just completely disregard them.
Later that night...
Dawn was trying to sleep till she heard a knock at the door. Walking over she would open the door now.
Hannah: ...Hey.
Dawn: Oh, hello...Want to come in?
Hannah came in and quietly closed the door behind her.
Hannah: I know it's late. I'm sorry...
Dawn: No, it's okay. I wasn't sleeping anyway. You have something you want to talk about?
Hannah: I'm not sure if I can call it something to talk about...I just feel like I don't know you, or your siblings. So...I decided to come here. I don't want to judge you just based on what the others say...
Dawn: I see, well thank you.
Hannah: ...I'm not here for reasons like that...I'm here because I am suspicious of you.
Dawn nodded.
Dawn: Ah, the other day...Wasn't there something you were about to say? You asked me where I had been?
Hannah: ...Yeah, that's right. Where did you come from?
Dawn: That's what you came here to ask?
Hannah: Yeah. At least to start with...
Hannah and Dawn spent a couple of hours talking and getting to know each other. She also did the same with Dusk and Twilight later, it was late at night before we all went to bed.
What will happen next? To be continued...

Chapter 15
The next morning...
After the patrol was finished we gathered by the stairs.
Haven: Your patrols went well?
Zion: Yuup.
Flashback to earlier though...
Edison: Hey, Hannah, why are you coming out of Dawn's room?
Hannah: Ah, well...No reason.
Skarlet: What's wrong? Were you two plotting a massacre or something? This is just mad. Be careful, Hannah. You might be the next 'Jody' before you know it.
Hannah: Just stop it, Skarlet....I just wanted to find out a bit more myself.
Sen: Not again.....
Dawn sighed.
Back to the present...
Zion: Too bad we couldn't bring the flashlight with us.
Haven: Yeah, but since we're doing this on our own, we shouldn't waste the group's resources yet, even thought it is for everyone's sake.
Zion: I guess we're lucky the lights work down there...
Dusk: Yeah, even though it is really weird.
Zion: All right, let's just get this over with quickly.
Haven: Let's be careful down here.
The four of us would walk down the stairs now...
Twilight: ...The lights are off.
Zion: You didn't turn them off when you left?
Twilight: I just...I left them on when I came back here. I didn't think...
Haven: It's clear someone else was here too.
Zion: ..........
Once in the basement...Twilight found the switch and flicked it on again...
Zion: Wow, it really does work!!
Twilight: I told you.
Zion: It's not that I didn't believe you...It's just so crazy.
Haven: Shhh.
They went further into the back of the hallway now, seeing some boxes. Which were all neatly piled.
Twilight: ....This is where I found it.
Dusk: The hairpin.
Zion went to the boxes and open the lid to look. Seemed nothing special inside of it now.
Haven: Looks like there are quite a few rooms to check out here.
They spread out a bit and tried some of the door knobs now. However....All the doors were locked.
Haven: I didn't think all of them would be locked.
Zion: Man, who did this really? It's clear someone was here, so why are they all locked? It's super suspicious, you know.
Haven: We still haven't checked around that corner over there, what do you think?
Dusk: I think we've been...
The lights now suddenly was flicked off as everything was dark! Everyone froze as they heard a strange rustling sound.
Zion: Damn it.
Suddenly, everyone ran without looking back.
However, while running Twilight's foot got stuck on something and he lost his balance. As he fell soon after, he just closed his eyes and rolled to the right.
As he fell he felt someone whisper up against his ear dropping near him.
Zion: It's me.
Twilight blinked, till he felt something go up his legs and back as his eyes went huge and he went to scream as Zion whispered loudly in his ear.
Zion: Quiet!
Zion ran to the exit carrying Twilight in his arms now. Zion was quick as he manage to get them back up the stairs now.
Zion: I think...We....should be....safe...here...
He'd panted a bit.
Twilight: Um...Thank you...You can put me down now.
Zion would set Twilight on the floor now to stand up on his own. Though, he'd snap at Twilight after.
Zion: Why did you have to fall back there? Good thing you rolled to my side, huh? Man, I have no friggin idea why Skarlet's afraid of such a clumsy head like you. I'm exhausted.
Twilight: Well...You didn't have to carry me like that.
Zion: And what? Just leave you there?
Twilight: ....That was so scary.
Zion: Yeah, I didn't expect the lights to go off just like that.
Twilight: Oh gosh! You think, Haven and Dusk are fine?
Zion: Of course they are...But they are pretty late I think. If they don't come back soon, we'll go back there, okay?
Thankfully, Haven and Dusk ran up a few minutes later catching their breathes now.
Haven: Sorry, I was hiding somewhere.
Dusk: Yeah, kept hidden till we could go.
Zion: Glad you guys did.
Twilight: I'm glad you're both okay.
Haven: I guess we provoked whoever was down there...It's such a shame we didn't get anything out of this.
Zion: Well, we're still alive.
Dusk: I know but I'm not sure if we'll ever find any clues.
Haven: Even if we do find something, it's not going to be easy proving it. And we can't be sure...You know... how the suspect would react if we confronted them.
Zion: You're right, be we can't find any clues like this. I mean we came back completely empty-handed. I think we can just show them the hairpin thing he found.
Haven: Wouldn't that cause a lot of...confusion to everyone?
Zion: Do we have any other choice?
Dusk: Zion's got a point.
Haven: Twilight, what do you think?
Twilight: I agree with Zion.
Haven: Okay then. Let's all get some rest first. We'll reveal the hairpin at the dinner meeting.
Zion: Sounds good. Stay careful.
Dusk: Right, see ya guys.
Twilight waved and they all retreated for now.
Later...
Dawn bumped into Edison in the hallway.
Edison: Hey!
Dawn: Evening.
Edison: Lawson was just looking for you.
Dawn: Oh, really? Do you know where he is?
Edison: He's probably in the...storage room, checking the inventory of food.
Dawn: Thank you.
Dawn went over and knocked before entering the food storage room.
Lawson: Oh, hey Dawn. What are you doing here...?
Dawn: Hello, I heard you were looking for me.
Ezra was in the middle of getting something from the back and stopped and looked around too.
Dawn: Hey, Ezra.
Ezra nodded.
Lawson: It wasn't anything important. Where have you been? I was getting worried.
Dawn: My ankle felt better, so I was just here and there wandering. We must have missed each other.
Lawson: Is that so...?
Haven entered behind Dawn now.
Haven: Oh, Dawn is here too.
Lawson: Yup, she came to talk to me.
Dawn: Yeah, I did. How about you, Haven? What are you doing here?
Haven: It's my turn to prepare our dinner tonight.
Dawn: Ah, I can offer to help. You've been doing this all day?
Lawson: Well, everyone risked their lives getting this food. Oh, Haven. While you're there, can you get me two pop tarts? This box is empty.
Haven: Sure, give me a moment.
Haven went toward the boxes next to the door. Dawn arched a brow as she heard something breaking? A loud snap was heard. Dawn looked above Haven's head now. There was a large wooden structure about to collapse on him.
Dawn: Haven!
Dawn ran over and dived into Haven now, just the two barely missing the wooden structure from crashing onto the two of them now.
Haven: Aghhh...
Dawn: Hm...
The others ran over now.
Lawson: Oh no! Are you guys okay?
Ezra looked worried.
They'd help the two stand up now.
Lawson: That could've ended really badly.
Ezra: Good job.
Ezra said to Dawn but had a mix look on his face. Haven was a bit shocked for a moment.
Haven: Th-thank you. Are you alright?
Dawn: Yes, I'm fine. You?
Haven: Me too....Thanks to you.
Lawson: No, wait. I think you're hurt, Dawn.
Dawn: ?
She'd notice the burning sensation on her calf now. Dawn notice her calf was bleeding a bit when she dived like that.
Lawson: There's a first aid kid somewhere in here.
Ezra bought the kit right away.
Lawson treated Dawn's wound right away.
Lawson: I think we should move the storage room elsewhere. I knew this building was quite old, but I didn't expect that...
Haven: Let's just get the stuff we need and leave. But...
Haven looked to the collapse wooden structure which was blocking the door.
Hm....More bizarre things are going on...What is going on?

Chapter 16
They studied the debris as it was too heavy to lift.
Haven: No wonder it fell down...This must weigh like a ton.
Ezra: If we can just get this large piece out of the way...
They notice Ezra pointing with his foot to this large wooden panel.
Outside on the other end.
Edison: What was that noise?! Oh dang, are you guys alright?
Lawson: Yeah, we're okay.
Haven: Can you go see if there's a saw somewhere? I'm sure we have one somewhere, but it's not in here.
Edison: Okay, just hang out!
They heard Edison run off for a bit. He'd return with a saw after followed by Sue and Dusk. Ezra reached over grabbing the saw and started to saw the panel. After a moment they manage to make a opening and move things. Dawn stared though as she notice....That didn't just fall, it appeared to have been cut. She remained quiet.
Haven: Phew, that should do it for now.
Lawson: We'll have to clear the rest too before we try taking the bigger boxes with us.
Ezra nodded.
After they moved the boxes and go to the main classroom.
Lawson: Let's start the meeting. Does anyone have anything they want to talk about before we get on with our agenda?
Zion looked sleepy and raised his hand up.
Zion: I do.
Haven notice he was sleepy so he cut in.
Haven: Actually, we have something to show you all.
Ezra: ....?
Haven took out the hairpin now.
Hannah: ...What's that? Wait, I've seen that before.
Sen: Isn't that Jody's hairpin?
Skarlet: Why does he have that?
Haven: You guys are right. This belongs to Jody.
Edison: What are you trying to say?
Zion: Ah...This is such a bother. This is her hairpin. She had no reason to leave it behind if she left on her own. We found it in one of the boxes in the basement.
Hannah: In a box...?
Sen: Wait, did you say it was in the basement? What were you doing there?
Skarlet: Who found it? It was them, right? Obviously!
She pointed to the triplets.
Haven: No, it was all three of us who went there together and found it. Me, Zion and Twilight. We went to the basement because...We heard something down there.
Zion: Honestly, this is really suspicious.
Ezra: Um...
Dawn: What is it, Ezra?
Ezra: I actually agree with what Zion says.
Haven: What's up with him?
Lawson: .......
Edison: This is just great.
Lawson: Are you guys saying...That you're suspecting someone here?
Haven: I'm sorry, but...I think being suspicious is necessary at this point. We can't feel safe until all of this gets sorted out.
Zion: Don't you agree?
Lawson: Hm, Twilight, do you think so too?
Twilight: Well...Yes, it's needed. I'm sure you can understand. You're our leader, after all.
Lawson: Of course...If there's something bothering you guys, I should be the one to get to the bottom of it.
Ezra came back now after he just stepped out from his prior statement. Though he held something in his hand.
Zion: Isn't that Jim's?
Edison: He used to carry it with him all the time. He really loved it.
Ezra held Jim's jackknife.
Hannah: He...He never let anyone use that.
Sen: But why do you have that?
Ezra: I found this. But not in the classroom he used to stay.
Zion: Then where?
Ezra: ......
Skarlet: This is weird....it's so weird.
Dawn looked to Skarlet who is biting her fingernails.
Sen: What are you doing, Skarlet?
Hannah: Stop it...You'll hurt yourself.
Skarlet: Don't you think it's weird? Honestly, I don't believe the three of them actually went together. Wouldn't it make more sense that they made all this up to cover the fact Twilight had the hairpin the whole time? Ezra! You found that in one of their rooms too, didn't you?
Ezra: I didn't.
Hannah tried to stop Skarlet from biting her nails, but she kept doing it.
Skarlet: My lip balm disappeared too...Are you a kleptomaniac? Or do you just like collecting things like that? Or do you take things from people you want to get rid of or something?
Dawn gave the thought a second thought.
Skarlet: This is so scary...I'm going back to my room. I'm scared. I can't stay here any longer. And the rest of you are just taking their side, it's so weird! It's obvious something is wrong, but why doesn't anyone listen to me...? WHY!?!
She would scream and Skarlet would run out of the room now. Dusk noted her fingernails were bleeding now too as she left.
Haven: ...This is exactly why I didn't want us to start suspecting each other.
Lawson: That's right. But you brought it up. I'm sure there must be a very good reason that you did.
Twilight whispered to Zion.
Twilight: Shouldn't we follow her?
Zion whispered back.
Zion: Leave her. She'll be fine.
Twilight: ......
Haven: What I wanted to say was...That we should all be equally suspicious of everyone. Don't you see all this happened because one person was the target of all suspicion?
Lawson: Hmm...
Edison: What about the possibility of an intruder?
Haven: We can't count that out either.
Lawson: But I feel like this is too hasty of a decision. You guys are basing all this only on one hairpin? That was worth all this chaos? I understand that you're worried. But I had hoped you'd come talk to me first. Then we could've at least tried to come up with something together. Don't you see me as the leader? I'm disappointed.
Edison: .....Let's call it a night then. There's a day tomorrow too, you know? I don't think there's any point to this meeting anymore.
Ezra: Right.
Zion: Yeah...We didn't want to start a fight.
Sen: Let's calm ourselves down and talk about it again.
Hannah: ......
Lawson: I was supposed to talk about the storage...Sorry, I think I'll go get some rest. Let's take the rest tomorrow.
Gradually, people all started to leave the room now. Moment late it was just Dawn, Ezra and Edison left.
Edison: Why aren't you going?
Dawn: I just wanted to make you both are okay.
Edison: Man, is this really the time for joking around like that? If you think cheap tactics like that work on me...*Sighs* You're right. But aren't you angry?
Dawn: About what?
Edison: You know. Skarlet accusing you all like that?
Dawn: That's why we fought last time.
Edison: But you didn't today.
Dawn: She said she was scared, there wasn't much I could do about that.
Edison: I guess...Before you came her, nothing really used to happen. Right, Ezra?
Ezra nearly dozed off.
Edison: Oi...He's sleeping again. This guy, as soon as night comes he can't keep his eyes open. I'll be right back after I get him to his room.
Edison would help Ezra go to bed now in his room. Dawn glance out the window. Then Dawn saw it...Skarlet was running outside?! Dawn noticed it was too dangerous and ran out of the classroom. She'd ran down the stairs and outside now. Once outside, she couldn't see her anywhere. Hearing some ruffling noise.
Dawn: Hey, Skarlet. I get that you're scared but you can't just-
Turning she notice a zombie there now. And there was no trace of Skarlet!
What is going on? What is happening? To be continued...

Chapter 17
Dawn notice the zombie walk closer as she started to move backwards slowly. The zombie soon after would run at Dawn as she would turn around and run from the zombie now the other way. While, running she notice the gym storage. She'd take the key out of her pocket and took a chance running to the door now. The zombie would follow hardly even tired. While, trying to get the key in the zombie would run close right to her now...Suddenly a loud whack happened.
Lawson: Are you okay?!
Dawn turned around seeing he hit the zombie.
Dawn: Lawson!
She notice he was holding a piece of sturdy wood in his hand as he rid of the zombie with that strike. Just then the key actually does unlock the door!
Dawn: Lawson, look! It was the storage room!
Lawson: That's great. We can come back with the rest of the guys and...!
He paused as he notice a pack of zombies now would run over to the two now.
Lawson: Let's get inside. Quick!
Lawson grabbed Dawn's hand and rushed into the storage room now. Once inside they slam the door shut and locked it.
Lawson: What happened? Ah, quick, lock the door!
Dawn looked and notice the secure lock unlock, so she locked that one too to prevent it from being busted down. What followed next is a lot of zombies banging on the door loudly.
Dawn: How long do you think the door will hold?
Lawson: Don't worry.
Dawn nodded.
Lawson: You know...The zombies are very sensitive to noises. But surprisingly, they tend to depend on their sight when they move, even though their vision is as bad as it is. It must be from when they used to be human, don't you think?
Dawn: How...Do you know that?
Lawson: I experimented a bit with them.
Dawn: An experiment?
Lawson: Uh-huh, since we have been able to stay here for so long...I started getting curious, so I tried it out.
Dawn: ......
Lawson: If we stay here for a while, they'll give up and go back. Let's get back to the school then.
Dawn: Thank you, Lawson.
Lawson: Don't mention it... But what were you doing out here?
Dawn: I was chased by a zombie...
Lawson: It did seem like that. You were looking for Skarlet, right?
Dawn: Yes...That's correct. Didn't you see her?
Lawson: No...Unfortunately. I would have brought her back right away if I saw her. First...Let's try to see what's in here while we think about what to do. I know you really want to help Skarlet....But we can't do anything until they're gone.
Dawn: Yes, you are right.
The two looked around the storage room, the most they found was a tool kit and some balls.
Dawn: Should we take the tool kit?
Lawson: I'll carry it. It's pretty heavy.
Dawn: No, I can carry it myself.
Lawson: I didn't meant that you were too weak to carry it. I'm just worried you're too exhausted from all the running.
Dawn: Oh...I see, well thank you.
Lawson smiled.
Dawn checked the window.
Dawn: Lawson...I think they're gone.
Lawson: Let's get back then. I'm sure, Skarlet is probably back by now too.
Dawn: Yeah, I hope she is.
Dawn would follow Lawson as they head back now.
Back in the main classroom.
Edison: What the heck happened to you guys?! Do you have any idea how worried I was?
Twilight: Oh you're okay!
Zion: Since when do you worry about things, Edison? Hey, Dawn. Edison was flipping out because you were gone made me wake up.
Edison: No, I- I was just away for a moment, and she said okay. So when she wasn't here....Argh, what I mean...You should have gotten back quicker.
Dawn: What about Skarlet?
Dusk: Least you're fine, and what?
Haven: What about her?
Dawn: Just now, I think I saw her go outside...
Lawson: That's why we were looking for her.
Edison: She really left?
Zion: And you went after her?
Edison: I mean, you weren't even close to bring with, and it's not like you're strong enough to drag her back here either... Why would you do something so stupid like that?
Dawn: Ugh...It's dangerous out there, I had to stop her. She was already outside. I thought just keep going if I didn't stop her. But I couldn't just let her get herself in danger like that.
Edison sighed.
Edison: I guess I wouldn't either, but still...
Zion: How come you guys didn't come back with her then?
Dawn: That's the thing...We...Couldn't find her.
Haven: What?
Sen: Shouldn't we go look fo rher?
Lawson shook his head.
Lawson: There are quite a few zombies out there right now. It's dangerous.
Zion: Can't we handle them if we move in a group?
Lawson: Hmm, if there's not too many of them...
Haven: Let's split in half and search for her in two big groups?
Zion: Yeah. She's probably somewhere in the school field hiding from the zombies.
Haven: I really hope so. We need to find her quick.
Zion: By the way, where's Ezra?
Lawson: He does usually sleep at this time of night...I'll go get him.
Edison: I'll make the groups then.
Moments later, Lawson came with a sleepy Ezra now.
Dawn was with Zion, Twilight, Ezra and Hannah.
This left Lawson with Edison, Haven, Dusk and Sen.
after taking some equipment Dawn and them went into the hallway first. Ezra yawned a bit.
Dawn: You want me to help you stay awake?
Ezra: ....?
Ezra would nod lightly.
Dawn: You're hand, like this.
Ezra hesitated a moment before taking her hand as Dawn used her hands to massage it with her thumbs. Causes a stimulant to remain awake.
Dawn: I used to do this to my best friend back in school whenever she felt sleepy. She said it really helped her stay awake. How does it feel?
Ezra: Hmm...I feel...More sleepy.
Zion: Hey, wait.
We stopped outside of Skarlet's room now.
Zion: Isn't the door open? It wasn't earlier. Did she come back?
Hannah: Let's check before we leave.
Zion knocked on the door. No response but the door was open...
Zion flung the door wide open now. Dawn walked inside as did Twilight as the two's eyes went wide and they froze in place. Zion notice and ran over to them.
Zion: Hey, what the...Skarlet!?
Hannah: Skarlet!!!
She ran in as they all stared.
Skarlet's body sat on a chair, drenched in blood. From her lips, fingers, and not moving...Skarlet was dead! But it was clear....Someone did it.

Chapter 18
Zion: Skarlet!!
Ezra: ....Damn it!
Everyone ran over.
Hannah: Skarlet are you okay? Skarlet...Oh no...
Dawn walked closer as Twilight stood where he was with his hands over his mouth. She put her hand on Skarlet's arm.
Dawn: No...
Dawn frowned as Twilight tried to wipe his eyes from tears.
Zion: Hey, hey....She isn't....Right, Dawn? Hannah, why are you crying? Twilight you too?
Ezra closes his eyes and shakes his head.
Zion: Hey! Skarlet!!
Dusk walked in and was stunned as Haven came over as well. As all the others entered in Skarlet's room.
Edison: .........
Lawson: Oh no....
Sen: ...Why....Is Skarlet dead? Was there a zombie?
Ezra kneel in front of Skarlet's body and examined her. Zion rushed over to help looking agitated.
Zion: Hey, Ezra! What the heck are you doing?!
Twilight grabbed Zion's arm. Twilight shaking his head slowly to Zion.
Zion froze.
Zion: Damn it!! Damn it!!!
Edison: .......
Ezra: There's something in her hand.
Ezra pried Skarlet's hand open as she was holding Zion's Photo ID.
Zion: What the...Right, she asked me for it a while ago, that's why...!
Haven: Okay, relax.
Sen: ...First of all. How about another quick search around the school?
Haven: Sounds good, a zombie might have snuck in.
We divided our group and spread out...
However...Someone entered the room again as that person picked up Skarlet's lip balm off the floor...As the lip balm was filled with highly toxic poison. That person chuckled and left the room...
Unknown to people Skarlet was tricked to poison when she used the lip balm which caused her to die...But will the others find out who did it?
The party found no traces of zombies in the school...Three days later...
In the main classroom...
Lawson: ...Guys. We can't be like this forever. We have to keep living, you know. It's not like it's the first time we've lost a friend.
Edison: So you're saying we should get along with a murderer?
Haven: ...If I knew it'd become like this...I wouldn't have told anyone, making everyone this worried.
Dusk: No, we had to do it. You said it yourself. You wanted us to clear out all the suspicion between us. And I agreed with you. I still do.
Haven: ...Thank you for saying that. It means a lot to me. I just wish...This would all be over soon. I don't want us to suspect each other anymore.
Dusk: I know.
Edison: I feel like Jody disappearing back then wasn't a coincidence either. But I have no clue what to do. I can't calm down....
Dawn: Edison.
Edison: What? Are you gonna stop me this time, Dawn?
Dawn: Yes, calm down. You acting up like this isn't going to solve the problem. You're not the only one who's scared here.
Edison: ...You're right. But this is just so screwed up. Honestly, before you three came here...
Haven snapped at him.
Haven: Before they came here then what? How are you gonna finish that sentence, Edison?
Edison: ....... But it's true.
Hannah: Yeah...He's right though...Isn't he?
Twilight just stood up and ran out of the room. Dawn blinked and followed as Dusk glared at them and followed as well.
Zion: Hey, wait!
The triplets started to pack up, as Dawn was in the room by herself getting some things. The door opened as Sen came in.
Sen: ...... Are you going to run away in anger too? Calm down, Dawn.
Dawn: Okay...Sorry for being such a bother.
Sen shook her head. She'd close the door behind her now.
Sen: Actually...There is one person I'm suspicious of. I have been keeping an eye out these last couple of days. Out of your family, I'm telling you this.
Dawn's eyes widen a bit.
Dawn: You know who did it...?
Sen: ....At the moment, I just have a strong suspicion. So I need to go find some solid evidence.
Dawn: Then, I'll help you.
Sen shook her head.
Sen: We need to be really careful. It would be too obvious if we were to go together. So....
Sen looked at Dawn eye to eye being very serious with her now.
Sen: Just in case...If anything happens to me... Be careful of...
Sen would lean in and whisper in Dawn's ears.
Dawn's eyes went wide in shock. After that, Sen would leave the room now. The door would knock a moment later as Ezra entered the room.
Dawn: Oh, Hey, Ezra.
Ezra: What are you doing...?
Dawn: I was...
Ezra: You're leaving?
Dawn frowned.
Ezra: Don't worry. I don't think it was you or your brother and sister. If you really were responsible...You wouldn't be feeling like this.
Dawn: I feel like I tend to look most pitiful in front of you often...Sorry.
Ezra shook his head.
Ezra: You're not leaving, right?
Dawn: I won't. But right now it's kind of...crazy out there. But I'm sure everything will get better soon. I want to stay here.
Ezra: Okay. Anyways, let's go back. You're siblings already came back. The others are worried too.
Dawn: Okay.
Dawn went to make sure her eyes weren't watering by the window but then she notice a person outside?

Chapter 19
Dawn notice a shadowy figured by the entrance before disappearing.
Ezra: See something?
Dawn: I think I saw a person.
Ezra: .....
Dawn: What is it?
Ezra: Just...I'm just confused. Things have become so complicated now. Just because they are human...You can't trust them. Not anymore... So when you said you saw someone. I wasn't sure what to think. It worries me, and bothers me at the same time.
Dawn: We need to be more careful. If we get stronger and stay careful...Wouldn't we be able to protect ourselves, even if we met new people...? Instead of just suspecting them...
Ezra looked a bit relieved.
Ezra: ....You're right. As long as we don't let our guard down, we don't have to be worried about meeting anyone.
Dawn: I thought I wasn't making any sense...But I'm glad you understood what I meant.
Ezra: Let's get back. The guys must be worried.
Dawn: Alright.
Everyone met in the main classroom again now...
Haven: Welcome back.
Zion: Did you grow tired of crying?
Dusk: Shut the fu-
Haven: I swear, every time you open your mouth...
Edison: ...Ummm....Dawn. You see, I...
Dawn: It's alright, I'm fine.
Edison: Oh, come on! Why do you always have to be so understanding? Don't you ever get angry?!
Zion: Hey, why are you getting mad again?
Edison: Uh...I mean...I was just....I'm sorry. I blamed you for all the bad things that happened here. I shouldn't have done that. I didn't mean to accuse you or your family like that. I know you guys didn't do it.
Dawn: Okay, I got it. Apology accepted.
Edison: ....Okay. It won't happen again.
Hannah: ........
Lawson: I was told you saw something?
Dawn: I saw a person outside. They were wandering around the entrance.
Lawson: I see. A person huh...We'll just keep that in mind when we patrol outside the gate.
Edison: We're going on patrol again? After all this?
Lawson: I guess we have a few things to take care of first.
Zion: But we still need to go find some food. We can't just starve here.
Edison: That's true, but...
Lawson: Where's Sen by the way?
Ezra: Has she already gone to sleep?
Zion: But she never misses the meetings.
Lawson: ...... While we need to do our best during patrols, we've started to distrust each other inside the school. And one of us even ended up dying. We need to stay on our toes. That's why, from this point on... I'll be keeping a record of any unusual behavior of everyone.
Hannah: ...Are you telling us to be suspicious of Sen?
Lawson: Unfortunately...Yes.
Dawn: Okay.
Haven: ......
Dusk: ......
Lawson: Thank you for understanding. Let's keep our eyes open. First of all, I can see you are all really tired. But the reason I've asked you all here is...to emphasize how important it is for us to stick together. Also, we have things to do that can't wait. Let's take our farewells with Skarlet.
After a moment of silence they discuss more things.
Lawson: One day, let's take one day off to recover, and then start with patrols again. Haven, you have the map with all the previous search zones marked, right?
Haven: Ah, that's right. It's in my room.
Lawson: Great. Make sure you bring it with you.
Haven: Got it!
Edison: Patrol...
Dusk went over to Haven in the hallway curious about the map.
Haven: Here it is. Even though it really isn't anything special.
He pulled the map out.
Haven: Haha, we took it from a real estate office. Huge, isn't it?
Dusk notice a empty bottle fall now as they laid the map in one of the empty classrooms.
Haven: Haha, I'm so clumsy.
Dusk: I'll give you a hand.
Haven: No, there's no...
Dusk picked the stuff up that fell and a small plastic bottle? Medicine?
Haven: Yeah...It's nothing.
Dusk: I didn't know you were sick, Haven.
Haven: Well, you see...It's just for headaches. I'm not infected or anything like that...It's just that since earlier...Um.
Dusk: It's fine, everyone gets sick every now and then. But this,
She noted the bottle is just empty.
Haven: Yeah, it's empty. I just carry it with me every time. It helps me.
Dusk: Have you had headaches for a long time?
Haven: I guess I do...or not. I don't know.
He put on a false smile.
Haven: My family went through a tough time...My mom cried every day.
Dusk: Okay...You don't have to talk about it if ya don't wanna.
Haven: No, it's okay. I can talk about this now.
Dusk: Okay.
Haven: When I saw her cry...I felt like I shouldn't cry. So I've always kept it inside Because of that, whenever I'd usually cry, I'd instead get bad headaches.
Dusk: Ya know you don't have to keep it in. If you keep that @#$% in you'll just keep hurting. It's cool to cry. I'm sure your mother would have said the same thing.
Haven: Thank you. Thank you for saying that.
Dusk would hand him the bottle as he would take it. The two after would study the map for a while before leaving.
In the hallway...
Edison: Dawn.
Dawn: Were you waiting for me?
Edison: Yeah...
Dawn bought him into her room to speak then.
Dawn: What is it?
Edison: You know.... How about leaving this place together?
Dawn: But I feel safe here. Before I came here...I was outside for a long time with my siblings. I know there's almost nowhere to hide. It's hard to gather things like we're doing here. And I think it's better to stay together in a group. Things are not perfect at the moment, but I'm sure they'll get better.
Edison: ........Alright. Maybe you're right. It's safer her. It's so peaceful here. I guess I forgot what it's like outside. Okay, Dawn. You should get some rest. Forget what I said.
Edison would leave after.
The next day....
Ezra knocked on Dawn's door as she told him to come and Ezra entered as he said after.
Ezra: ....I thought you'd be worried.
Dawn smiled at him.
Dawn: Thank you. Oh do you want some chocolate? I have one I didn't eat from last night.
Ezra blinked.
Ezra: ...You didn't eat it?
Dawn: I did, but...I save this for when I wanted a snack.
She peel it back and handed it to him.
Dawn: You must have been really hungry.
Ezra: ..... Yeah.
Dawn: Imagine if there would suddenly be a buffet next door. Or a sushi place.
Ezra nodded.
Dawn: I usually prefer places that have a lot of desserts, but if I were to go with you. I feel like you'd like more meat, am I right?
Dawn just talked to distract him as he ate the candy bar and just kept quiet. Smiling and listening to her.
Ezra: Yeah, I like meat. But I'm fine with eating anything...
Dawn: Let's go together then.
She smiled to Ezra. Ezra would just give her a nod.

Patrol Chapter
Tension in the classroom..
Ezra: We've looked everywhere.
Zion: But no luck. O think we should call it a day here.
Hannah: Yeah, everyone looks so tired.
Dusk: Can we just do another quick search? Just for a few more minutes? Come on, it's not even dark yet.
Lawson had a few thoughts run in his mind.
Lawson: Have we decided who's in charge of the patrol today?
Edison: Oh, right...I completely forgot about that.
Ezra: Yeah want all of us to go on patrol now?
Lawson: We'll pair up and search both inside and outside. What do you say?
Everyone nodded.
Lawson: Okay, for inside of the building.
Haven: I'll do it.
Lawson: Thanks for volunteering. And anyone else?
Dusk: Me. I'll go with Haven.
Lawson: Are you sure you're gonna be okay?
Dusk: Of course I am.
Zion: Man I was planning on taking a nap.
Ezra: .......
Hannah: Be careful, you guys.
Edison: See you later!
Lawson: If things get too rough, don't sweat it. Just come back at once.
Haven: Should we get going?
Dusk: Okay.
Haven and Dusk would go down the hallway. They would search some classrooms and all before the sun comes down. Dusk finds the stairs that leads to the top floor.
Dusk: Haven, you ever been up there?
Haven: No...I just passed by the stairs a couple of times. I don't think there's much to look, though.
Dusk notice the sign that leads to the roof.
Dusk: Guess, that takes us to the roof.
Haven: I think so.
Dusk turns the door knob to the roof as it does open.
Haven: ....Hey! It's not locked?
Dusk: I, I guess not. It's open. I thought it'd be locked for sure.
Haven: Me too.
Dusk: Well...Ya wanna go look out on the roof?
Haven: .........
After a pause.
Haven: Okay, let's!
The two after would go up on the roof. It was clear skies and daylight out. With no signs of zombies or anything.
Haven: It's like a completely different world up here.
Dusk: Yeah...
Haven: I wish the guys were here too. How come we never knew about this place before?
Dusk: I know, what a shame huh?
Haven: Yeah, it is.
Dusk: Wonder if Twilight knew about this...Whatever. We should tell the others and come back here again. They would like the scene.
Haven: Yeah, absolutely.
Dusk looked over to Haven.
Dusk: What are you looking at? Did I spook you or something? Hey...What are you looking at?
Haven: Umm...There.
He'd point. To the school gate.
Haven: You remember when they first thought it was just a violent protest?
Dusk: Yeah, saw something about it on the news that morning. They then later said it was actually a virus outbreak.
Haven: I was suppose to meet my mom by the school entrance.
Dusk: So...Did you meet her?
Haven shook his head.
Haven: I was inside the school teaching when it happened and it was so crazy. I don't even know if she's safe... All I have now is you guys. But then...
He sighed and lower his head.
Dusk: Haven?
Seeing the rays of the sunset beaming over.
Haven: Sorry. Geez, I don't know what's got into me.
Haven had some tears in his eyes.
Dusk: Ya don't need to say sorry to me. You can let the tears out if ya need to.
Dusk go over and hand him a napkin as he takes it and said after.
Haven: Thanks. Really. Thank you for being here with me. I just...Can't stand being suspicious of each other...It really hurts me.
Dusk: It's cool. Will all be fine.
Haven: Yeah, I'm sure we are.
Meanwhile....
In the classroom.
Lawson: Alright, here you go.
Lawson gives Ezra the toolbox as Ezra took it.
Dawn: Okay, see you later then.
Lawson: Be careful.
Ezra nodded.
Dawn and Ezra would walk down the hallway now.
Dawn: Do you have any specific place on your mind?
Ezra: Yup.
Dawn: Oh, where?
Ezra: You'll see.
The two went upstairs as Dawn followed Ezra. They'd go to that u shape area near the classroom where she thought she heard noises.
Dawn: Hm...
Ezra: What's wrong?
Dawn: It's nothing.
Ezra looks at her then opens the classroom and heads inside.
Ezra: I found this dent the last time I was patrolling here. See over here?
Dawn: Oh, you're right.
They notice a large dent on the floor.
Ezra: It can be quite dangerous. We'd better fix it before someone trips over.
Dawn: Wow, you don't miss anything, do you?
Ezra: Well, I don't know about that.
While getting ready Ezra would ask.
Ezra: Hey, you okay there?
Dawn: Mm? Yes, it's nothing. You need my help with anything?
Ezra: Hmm...Can you hold this right here?
Dawn: Sure.
She'd hold the wood panel for him so he can work on it. Using a hammer and some nails.
Dawn: Now that I think about it... You're really good at a lot of things, Ezra.
Ezra: What do you...Oh, shoot!
The hammer slips and is dropped right over the panel.
Dawn: Oh dear! Are you okay?
Ezra: I'm okay but I thought it hit you. Fortunately, it missed your hands. But it was so close.
Dawn: Yes.
Ezra: But what did you mean before?
Dawn: Pardon?
Ezra: You know...when you said I was good at many things.
Dawn: Oh...That... I always see you taking the baseball bat with you when we're out on patrol. And you use it to fight zombies.
Ezra nodded.
Dawn: So I always thought you must be really good at baseball. But now I see you with that hammer, I think you're good at fixing things, too. In any case, the point is that you're very talented.
She'd smile.
Ezra: I really like it.
Dawn: Hmm?
Ezra: .......The baseball. And fixing things, too.
Dawn: Oh...I see.
They'd work back on fixing the dent again.
Ezra: I think...I can handle this myself from here.
Dawn moved back.
Ezra: If you're interested in baseball, you want me to teach you some time?
Dawn: Oh, are you sure?
A loud bang is head outside in the hallway. Dawns stared and start to move to the door.
Ezra: Wait, let me...
Dawn: What are you going to do?
Turning Dawn heel hit a bump as she started to trip now. Ezra jumped over to reach a hand out to Dawn now.
Dawn: Ahh!
Dawn would fall backwards but land on her rear and elbow as she winces a bit. Ezra tried to help her but nearly pin her over.
Ezra: ..................................
Dawn stared at Ezra's sea green eyes. Ezra just looks baffled at her.
Dawn: Ezra?
Ezra: ...Oh!
Ezra quickly gets up now and stands up straight. Dawn would sit up slowly.
Ezra: Are you okay?
Dawn: Oh...Yes...
Ezra would hold a hand out to help her up now.
Dawn would take his hand now and stand up.
Ezra: What...were you scared of before?
Dawn: Oh there was that noise from the hallway.
Ezra: .......
Nodding, Ezra would head to the door now.
Dawn: Ezra, wait.
Ezra: Shhh...
Holding the hammer he glare and stick his head out in the hallway looking around. He'd after go into the hallway but then return after a moment.
Ezra: There was nothing.
Dawn: Well...That's good. But it's so strange since I did hear something.
Ezra: ...Don't worry. I'm sure it's nothing.
Dawn: Sure...Thank you, Ezra.
Ezra lightly rub Dawn's shoulder with one hand.
Meanwhile...
Zion walked into the hallway now.
Zion: You are so slow!
Twilight: I'm not...You're just walking really fast.
Zion: Just hurry!
Twilight stuck his tongue out behind Zion's back and followed to keep up. Though the more he tried to keep up the farther Zion walked.
Twilight: Zion, can you slow down a bit?
Zion stopped and looked to Twilight with such a unamused look on his face.
Twilight: What's....wrong?
Zion: Shhh...
Twilight: Hm?
Zion: Shush!
The two remained quiet, as Twilight could now hear something a clonking like sound.
Twilight: What's that...?
Zion: We gotta go check it out.
Twilight: What if it's a zombie?
Zion: What do you think? We need to take care of it.
Twilight: We...As in you and me?
Zion gives him a odd look now.
Zion: Of course. Are you too afraid?
Twilight: You mean...you aren't scared?
Zion: .....Who wouldn't be?
The two followed where the noise is coming from. They turned and realize the noise is coming from inside one of the bathrooms.
Zion: ........
Twilight: ........
Zion: ....Is there someone in there?
Twilight: I really hope that's what it is...But there are washrooms on other floors too, you know. Why would someone come all the way up here?
Zion: You've got a point. I guess we've only got one option then.
Zion would stick his head inside the bathroom now.
Zion: Hey, is there anyone in there?
Twilight: Is there...
Zion would head into the bathroom now.
Twilight: Wh...Where are you going? Are you gonna check it out?
Zion: Do you want to just leave it be?
He arched a brow at Twilight.
Twilight: No...But still...
Zion: You wait outside.
Zion went in but after a couple of moments, Twilight followed and went inside to look. He notice a window shooting moonlight now through the restroom. Zion glared at Twilight since he notice he came inside as Twilight just avoided eye contact. Zion moved Twilight back a bit from one of the doors as he turned and kicked one of the stalls door open now.
Zion held the pipe up but notice no person was in there...No zombie either.
Zion: ...Damn it! I knew it! It's a broken toilet.
Twilight: What?
Twilight peaked.
The broken toilet was making that noise... Twilight nearly tripped moving back, but Zion firmly caught him and stood him up straight.
Zion: Didn't I tell you to wait outside?
Twilight: I just got worried about you...
Zion: This is the girls restroom. I guess someone like you don't mind?
Twilight: What?!
Twilight looked and noted now this is the women's restroom. He'd turn to get ready to run out of there but Zion stopped him grinning.
Zion: Hey, where do you think you're going? So what's your revive on the women's restroom?
Twilight turned to him and was going to speak but a loud busting noise happen now.
Zion: Wh...What the?!
One of the pipes from the ceiling burst as it shot water and waterfall down onto Zion now. Twilight was in safe distance but it did flood the restroom a little. He notice Zion wet now as he covered a hand over his mouth trying not to laugh. Zion scolded as he took off his leather jacket, which revealed his muscle lines through his wet t-shirt.
Zion: You think this is funny? You're laughing?
Twilight: I'm sorry...I just can't help it... Don't worry, accidents like that happens.
Zion: Cut it out! Ugh...Fine, I guess it's fine if it made you laugh.
Zion shake his leather jacket to get the water out.
Twilight: Hm...Looking at you now, makes me want to go to the beach.
Zion: .... You like swimming?
Twilight: I just...Feel a little at ease when I get in the water.
Zion: Hmm...I could help you get in the water now if you'd like.
Twilight blinked.
Twilight: Going in water and getting wet isn't the same thing you know?
Zion: That's a shame then.
Zion flicked his leather jacket at Twilight not to hit him, but toss water at him as Twilight blinked and moved back.
Twilight: Ah, so cold! You!
Zion would say seriously after.
Zion: Promise me you'll survive.
Twilight: Hm?
Zion: You know...So you can go to that beach you love. When this all blows over, I'm sure you'll be able to go.
Twilight: Well...It'd be nice if we could go together. Right?
Zion smirked.
Zion: Yeah...It would.
Zion work on shaking the water out of his hair.
Later they head back to the classroom where everyone was after finishing patrol.

Chapter 20
The next morning in the main classroom
Hannah: ......
Lawson: Today we'll split into one group checking the school and one group going outside. Which one do you prefer? Since you seem worried. I'll do my best to reflect your wishes.
Edison looks at Hannah biting her lips.
Edison: What are you doing? Are you just gonna do nothing? Are you just gonna rest on your own comfortably?
Dawn: Don't talk to her like that, Edison.
Edison: What....I didn't say anything wrong.
Dawn: Try to be a bit more nice. I don't want anymore fights.
Edison: ........
Dawn: You don't need to put it so agressively.
Edison: Um...Fine, I got it.
Hannah: Ah...I...You don't have to apologize.
Edison: No. I guess I...Might have been a bit harsh...So-sorry.
Hannah: ....Okay.
Edison: You see me as a kid, don't you?
Dawn: Not at all. You acted like a real adult just now.
Edison: That just makes it sound more like you seeing me as a kid.
Lawson: Alright, everyone. Let's get back to the meeting. Who can volunteer for going outside?
Dusk: I'll do it.
Dawn: I'll god as well.
Sen: Then Hannah and I will stay in school.
Zion: Ah, then I'll-
Lawson: Zion.
Zion: Yeah?
Lawson: Do you mind staying in the school? Since Ezra and I are going out, we'd need someone strong to stay here.
Ezra: How did you know I wanted to go out...
Zion: Oh? Well if that's what you want, I guess I don't have a choice.
Sen: ......... Haven, you're going outside too, right?
Haven: Ah, yeah. I'll go too.
Lawson: It's decided then. Me, Dawn, Dusk, Ezra and Haven. The six of us will be the team heading outside today. And Hannah, Sen, Edison, Twilight and Zion will stay here and guard the school. So, take a look at this.
Lawson pulled out a map now.
Lawson: Right here is where we'll begin our search, and then we go all the way...here. To the station. It's quite a long route, so be sure to stay on your toes the whole time.
Ezra nodded.
Lawson: It would be really nice to find some clean water too.
The group later that was going outside would move into the quiet city now.
Haven: ........
Dusk noticed a pharmacy up ahead. Tapping Lawson on the shoulder now.
Lawson: Oh? Is there something wrong?
Dusk: Is it cool...If we can stop by there?
She'd point to the pharmacy.
Lawson: The pharmacy? Umm....That would be kind of a detour...
Dusk: Yeah, but there might be medicine in there.
Lawson: That's possible. Okay, then. It doesn't look like a big pharmacy. So do you mind going with Haven while Ezra, Dawn and I check the surroundings?
Dusk: No problem.
Haven: We'll be back in a moment.
Lawson: Be careful, you guys. We'll rendezvous over there, by the blue sign.
He'd point ahead.
Dusk: Alright, got it. Thanks Lawson.
The teams would split up now...
In the pharmacy...There were no zombies.
Dusk: I thought it'd be messier in here.
Haven: Same here. I guess not too many people have stopped by.
Haven open his bag and put some bandages and antiseptics.
Haven: This is actually better than I expected. Haha, so that's why you really wanted to check this place out.
Dusk: Heh...Hm.
Dusk found the same kind of painkillers for headaches Haven uses as she took it and turned to see Haven opening a drawer to look in.
Haven: Hm...I probably shouldn't take the ones that are already open. They might have been mixed up, so it wouldn't be worth risking it.
Dusk: Hey Haven.
Haven: Yeah?
Dusk: This...Isn't this what you need?
She'd hand him the bottle as his eyes went wide.
Haven: Are these painkillers? Thank you.
He smiled.
Haven: You remembered.
Dusk: Yeah, I wouldn't forget that. I hope you won't have to take them, though.
Haven: Yeah, me too.
After a bit of stocking up...
Haven: Wow, my bag is so heavy. Should we head out?
Once ready, Haven gave a sign as the two moved to the entrance now. Before they could get to the door they heard a sound.
Haven: What's wrong?
Dusk paused as they both listened for any noises.
Dusk: Sorry...I thought I heard something.
Haven: Hmm...Alright, let's go.
Haven opened the door but now they both heard the noise clearly.
Haven: Step back...Damn it. It must have heard us trying to open the door.
Haven went to shut the door but a large hand out of no where appeared to stop the door from closing!
Man: You damn zombie bastards! I'm not letting you off. You're not getting away this time. I'm gonna kill you all.
Haven: Wait, it's a man.
Haven and Dusk took a step back and the door busted open as a bigger man came right in. The man was dragging a metal pipe on the floor.
Haven: We're not zombies.
Man: You're not getting away! I'll get rid of all of ya!
Dusk: He's insane...
Haven: Dusk, you need to run.
Dusk: Hey! come with me! You need to get away too. Got it? Let's go together. Got that?
Haven: Then, I'll ARGH!
The man struck Haven with the pipe as Haven winced holding his side now. Dusk turned around and grabbed a large shelf now.
Dusk: Haven, this way!
Haven slammed into the man as hard as he could and sprinted over to Dusk. When the man got close to Dusk she shoved that shelf to block the way now in front of the man. Nearly whacking him too. After, Dusk and Haven ran further into the back of the pharmacy now.
Man: ARRRGH! YOU BASTARDS!!!
The man try to run to them but Haven and Dusk kept knocking stuff in the way to slow the man down now.
Haven: Dusk, over there!
Haven pointed to the back door exit now. The two rushed over to it now, but the door was locked!
Dusk: @#$%!
The man now kept getting closer now.
Will they get out of this?! To be continued...

Chapter 21
Man: You bastards have plagued this world for too long!
Dusk and Haven stared at him as they are trapped in the corner now. Dusk spotted a hammer on the side as she rushed over and grabbed it now.
Dusk: Haven, let's use this!
Haven: !
Man: .....!
Haven used the hammer to break the glass door open now. The man charged at them as Haven grabbed Dusk's hand and the two ran outside now running from the man as the man chases them.
Outside...
They kept running as Haven winced and hold his side a bit. Falling down now.
Dusk: Haven!
Man: You monsters! You ruined my family!
The man struck Haven as he blocked his face and winced from the pipe hit.
Haven: Dusk...Just...Run!
Man: I have nothing left. Nothing at all! I'll kill all of you!
Dusk: You need to get the @#$% back! We're not the @#$%^&$#@ dead! Cut your @#$% out now!!!
Haven winced getting to his knees as Dusk stood in front of Haven cracking her knuckles and gritting her teeth at the man.
The man yelled and went to swing the pipe at Dusk's head.
Haven: No!!!
Dusk went to block but got hit with such strength as she fell to the side now from it.
Dusk: Urgh!!
Haven: Dusk!
Dusk winced as Haven crawled over to her now. Suddenly a hard clank like noise was heard! It just missed Dusk's head but hit her arm a bit from the pipe.
Man: DIE!
Dusk kicked Haven hard away, making him roll away as the man went for the kill shot on Dusk now.
Haven: !!!
However, there was a loud noise that came...But didn't hit Dusk? The noise went again...and again?
Man: Argh...!!
Dusk looked as she notice the man fell next to her and she looked to Haven who was sitting up but shocked.
Lawson swung with Ezra's bat right at the man and kept swinging onto the man over and over with it. So much blood splattering everywhere!
Lawson: Who the hell do you think you are? Huh?
Dusk: ...................................................................
Lawson kept swinging that bat onto the man over and over, more blood flying as the man was beyond dead now.
Dusk: Lawson...Hey Lawson!
Lawson stopped the swinging and looked to Dusk now.
Lawson: Ah, Dusk. Are you alright? Sorry. I should've come sooner. We can't leave this guy alive. Right?
Dusk arched a brow at him. Seeing, Lawson covered in a lot of the man's blood.
Dusk: Just...stop.
Haven manage to get up wincing.
Haven: Lawson! What the hell are you doing? Stop it!
Haven grabbed Lawson's arm and pulled him away from the dead man now. Lawson just looked to Haven and Dusk.
Lawson: Are you guys okay?
Lawson held a bloody hand out to Dusk now to help her up. As she just stared at the hand.
Lawson: Come here. You don't have to be afraid anymore.
Dusk: I got it on my own...Thanks.
Lawson: No. I don't think you can do it on your own.
Dusk: Oh yeah...Look at yourself. This man...He wasn't a zombie.
Lawson looked confused.
Lawson: But didn't he try to kill you?
Dusk: .........
Lawson: Right, you understand me, don't you? Hey, let's get up. Hm?
He held a hand out to her again.
Haven: Stop it, Lawson.
Haven moved between Lawson and Dusk now.
Lawson: What?
Haven: You went way over the line. Just now, you- You were cold-blooded.
Lawson: ..........
Haven: Come on, Dusk.
Dusk took Haven's hand and slowly stood up wincing a bit.
Lawson: Okay, that's it. What's the problem? I saved you. Is that not enough?
Haven: Lawson, you really need to calm down.
Ezra came over ticked off now as Dawn was annoyed following.
Ezra: Lawson! Where did you go?!
Ezra and Dawn ran over to them now.
Ezra: I told you not to just run a- What....What is all this?
Dawn: Oh my...
Ezra: What happened here?
Dusk sighed.
Dusk: My bad...
Ezra: Hm? Don't apologize...Just tell me what happened here.
Dawn: Yes, please.
Dusk: He thought Haven and I were zombies. So this man tried to kill us. But then...Lawson came and.......................Saved us.
Ezra: .....................................Let's get going. We've been here for too long.
Haven: .....Okay.
Lawson was trying to shake the blood off his clothes. Though we heard more footstep behind us now.....More people?!

Chapter 22 Man 2: Where did he go this time...? Another man walked over to the group muttering. He was startled when he saw them and slowly started to back away. Man 2: F-Frank? Who the hell are you?! Haven: Uh...I can explain. He thought we were zombies and tried to kill us....And we were just trying to fight back....We didn't mean for it to go this far. Lawson: It would have ended peacefully if he hadn't messed with us first. Such a shame. Man 2: That poor guy...I knew this would happen...I told you so many times! Why didn't you listen to me! He yelled at the corpse. As he seemed completely down by it all. Haven: So...Many times? So this happened before? Man 2: Yes. He used to be sensitive before too, but it kept getting worse and worse...Especially since he learned about the Safe Zone, it started getting really bad. He believed everyone outside of the Safe Zone were all infected. Haven: ....What? The....Safe Zone? Man 2: You guys didn't know? Haven: .....! Ezra: .....? Dawn and Dusk: ?? Lawson: ...... Haven walked over to the man now. Haven: It's the first time we've heard about this. A safe place for people to live? Please tell us more. Man 2: That's strange. I figured they had spread the news all over the place already. You see, the army has been going around putting up posters on the walls of the buildings around here. You really haven't seen any of them? Haven: .....We've been staying in the same place this whole time. That might be why... Man 2: They should have covered all locations like that by now... It's about two bus stops that way. Ah, right. It would probably help if I show you the map. The man pulled out a folded piece of paper. Man 2: ..... Lawson reached out to take it with his hand. The man hesitated since he saw blood on Lawson's hand, so he gave it to Ezra. Reading the map they notice it wasn't too far away and the Safe Zone was circled as it was called Uninfected Protection Area. Man 2: Tsk tsk, you guys really lived a tough life up until now, huh? The man took the map back once they got it memorize how to go there now. Man 2: I recommend you start heading there soon. There are rumors they are closing off this area soon too. Haven: Thank you...But how about you? Man 2: Me? There were some things still bothering me, but I guess I can finally let them go. It seems it's about time for me to go. Will you come too? The man offered to take them to the Safe Zone! Ezra shook his head. Ezra: We have some friends back at our place. I think it's best if we bring them too. Haven: Dusk, Dawn do you want to go ahead? Dusk: No. Dawn: Not just yet. Man 2: Alrighty then...I hope we'll meet there again. Be safe. The man now would leave to head back to the safe zone now. Unaware he planned to tell the soldiers to come and rescue them if they take too long... Haven: ...Let's head back. We have to tell the other guys back in the school. Dusk: Yeah, good news too. Back in the main classroom now... Lawson: It's been a long day. Haven: Yeah...I'll be in my room getting some rest. Talk to you guys later. Haven went to go rest now. Dusk left too to heal up, as Ezra glanced at Dawn and Lawson before leaving now. Dawn: ...... It was sunset as Lawson looked over to Dawn now. Lawson: What's wrong? Did you get hurt back there...? Dawn: No, I'm fine. Lawson: That's a relief...But you look bothered. Dawn took out some cotton ball and sanitizer since Lawson still hasn't removed the blood as Dawn walked over to help clean up Lawson's hands. Dawn: We need to get that blood off your hands, Lawson. Lawson: Are you afraid? Dawn: Of you? You...Don't really seem to be afraid, Lawson. Lawson: Of what? Dawn: All of it. Everything that has been going on around here. Lawson: That's not true, Dawn. There are things I am afraid of too. Didn't you see me out there? Dawn thought about it and just finish cleaning his hands. Dawn: I'm a bit exhausted...I'm going to get some rest now. I'll leave the cotton pads here. Use it to wipe your face too, Lawson. Dawn would exit the class now and head into the hallway now. Zion was in the hallway now. Zion: Oh, Dawn. Hey, hey...Didn't I tell you to let us know when you were back? How'd it go? Dawn: Well....I didn't get hurt. What would you do if you found out there was a safer place than here? Zion: Huh? I guess I'd wonder why we didn't know about it before. And then I'd probably start packing right away? As long as it's not ridiculously far or something I mean. But why are you asking that all of a sudden? Dawn: They say there's a Safe Zone out there, Zion. Zion: ......? !!! You sure? How'd you find out? Dawn: Outside, this man....told us. Zion: If he's right, then we should get going right away! And let the other guys.... The door open suddenly as Lawson step out hearing them. Lawson: You're right, Zion. If that's really true, we should go right away. Zion: .....What? There is hope in all this? A safe zone? Does it exist? Does this mean it'll be all over soon? To be continued....
