Stopping suddenly in her tracks, Akane looked up at the closest intercom speaker with eyes gradually widening upon hearing the principle's distress. Flicking her face towards the window hurriedly, Akane took a slightly nervous step towards the glass to peer out and witness.... [color=f6989d][b]"... what... the fu-?"[/b][/color]- "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A blood-curdling scream erupted from the right of her; the other end of the hallway she had just came from. Students rushed towards her, as if running for their life and from what Akane had saw outside of the window, she didn't blame them... Stunned, the sound of groans and moans followed by cries and screams continue to spill out from the base of the staircase she just came from. Shaking her head, she turned towards the closest empty room before whipping her gaze towards the staircase she was walking towards in the first place. [color=f6989d]'[i]Two choices. Hide in the room or climb higher? Whatever is going on, it's getting closer, moving higher may be the best option... However, I'll have to come back down at some point... this place would be flooded with those things by then I'm guessing... I'd be trapped if I stay here... But... DAMMIT! DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT![/i]'[/color] Akane released a sharp exhale as the screams and groans began sounding from the base of other staircase. [color=f6989d]'[i]No time!!![/i]'[/color] Turning towards the staircase , Akane rushed to close the short distance between herself and the steps, moving upwards without looking back, not even for a glimpse. Mentally she thanked herself for choosing to wear her comfortable rubber-soled pumps with Mary-Jane style straps and trousers today. [color=f6989d]'[i]It's best to stay away from that area before those things flood it... Damn, why didn't I go to a school with a bloody fire escape! Huuh... I mustn't dwell on that now... I need to think of a plan. Wh-what in the world are they?! What happened to those people?! WHY ARE THEY EATING EACH-OTHER!!... This... this can't be real...[/i]'[/color] Once she reached the 3rd floor, she spotted a group of students. They looked normal, no doubt they were the culprits that were making the ruccus earlier but this was not the time nor place to think about that. [color=f6989d]'[i]4th floor or here? 4th or here?![/i]'[/color] A thought shot through her mind, however the noises that errupted from the floor below her haulted her thought train. All of a sudden one of the students began yelling, panicking it seems. She was just about to shush the boy, but soon noticed that one of those [i]things[/i] had made it up here. [color=f6989d][b]"Hnn.."[/b][/color] She bit her tongue and furrowed her eyebrows in annoyance. [color=f6989d]'[i] Up here already?! Are they on the forth floor too?[/i]'[/color]
