Cat stood leaning out of a vacant classrooms window deeply inhaling from a freshly lit blunt, holding it for a moment before slowly exhaling through her nose contently watching as the smoke dissipated with the breeze outside. Her relaxation interrupted when screams echo'd from the far ends of the corridors, [color=lightblue]"sounds like someone broke a nail again oh my gawd! the horror!"[/color] she said sarcastically to no one while mimicking with her hands, the screaming got louder joined by other massed screams & sounds of banging & thumping echoing along the corridors. Cat curious to what on earth was going on placed the joint on the nearby table next to the window as she went to go see what was happening, Barely stepping out the class door she looked on in both horror and surprise at the sight of mutilated people attacking others [color=lightblue]"wha-"[/color] Two people slammed into her pushing her back into the class room and shutting the door behind as they did so, both of them in a panic a dolled up bottle blonde with way to much makeup looked at Cat and in a fit of misdirected confusion, anger, or fear spoke out loudly [color=yellow]"Oh just great! everything goes to shit & i wind up stuck in a room with the queen of delinquents?!, what are you doing in here anywa-"[/color] She was cut off by Cat who'd closed the short distance and stared her down face to face [color=lightblue]"now, now calm down or you'll ruin your makeup!"[/color] she said intimidatingly making the bottle blonde go quiet as a mouse.

Cat tried to peek through the rectangular window in the classroom door to see into the corridor nodding to the guy who'd also barged in [color=lightblue]"whats happening?"[/color], The guy a little calmer now stepped away from the door as the other girl began pacing up & down the room trying to think. The guy took a breath before speaking [color=palegreen]"no idea one minuet everything was fine the next people where attacking & biting each-other like some cheep horror movie or something?"[/color]. Cat turned away from the door looking at them [color=lightblue]"So... quietly ride it out till, it's sorted scenario?"[/color], the guy dident look so convinced and was going to argue against the idea but the other girl nodded vigorously & hurriedly spoke [color=yellow]"Yes, yes that's what to do!, J-just, just wait & the teachers will fix it! then my dad will sue them for not having proper security or something! yea!..."[/color]. Cat mentally could hear herself saying [color=lightblue]"O...K... then..."[/color] sarcastically as she walked back across the classroom to the far window when the door burst open a student who looked like half his neck was missing charged in flying past where cat had been standing a moment ago and body slammed into the guy tearing into him the lass near her screaming hysterically in a panic, With little time to think Cat looked around and quickly reached towards an indoor gardening troth next to another window grabbing a lengthy piece of steel-rebar which was acting as a support for garden-pea stems to grow along. Cat fearlessly charged at the attacker thinking nothing of bludgeoning the back of his skull the the metal rod till it collapsed lifelessly on-top of the guy it was attacking, Kicking the lifeless attacker aside Cat paused looking down at the victims wounds blood pouring everywhere.

The blonde spoke up in shock which snapped Cat out of her momentary pause [color=yellow]"I'll go get a first aid kit there's gotta be one in the office next door!"[/color] without a thought the girl took off out the room, Cat knelt down beside the guy trying to stop some of the bleeding if any as she shouted in reply [color=lightblue]"he's gonna need more than a band-aid! grab anything useful you can find!"[/color] Cat looked at the guy trying to jest [color=lightblue]"Your girlfriend has some merit at least huh?"[/color] the guy spat up blood as he laughed [color=palegreen]"...sister..not-"[/color] he coughed up more blood [color=lightblue]"Yikes! my bad... now i feel more sorry for ya, that one has a sharp-tongue on her i can tell ya that from experience"[/color]. she jested as the guy was still coughing up blood till Cat helped to elevate & tilt him to spit it out, after a while he managed to speak clearly [color=palegreen]"...don't make me laugh it hurts, please..."[/color] he said smiling. A loud scream came from the doorway, Cat ran over to the door to see several lumbering bodies in-between her the blonde she screamed again before throwing a large first aid box at Cat before taking off running in the opposite direction. Cat stumbled to catch the box she went to shout wait when she looked up to see the lumbering bodies turn to face her, not wasting a second Cat threw the box onto a nearby desk shut the door & desperately tugged on the top corner of a large filing cabinet till it tipped over across the door slamming against a desk which half held it up seconds before the door was forced open but slammed against the cabinet preventing much room for the door to swing open. Cat backed away looking back at the guy nodding in reassurance before looking around and in the back of the class was a smaller disused door to another room, Cat charged over to find it locked in a panic Cat kept trying to kick & body-slam the door open to no avail when a metal click sounded and it opened from the other side cat looked up in surprise, smiling & almost shouting [color=lightblue]"Blondie!"[/color] The panting girl put her hand on her hips [color=yellow]"It's Nami!, not blondie!"[/color] she grinned but they where interrupted by obscured moans & then struggled gurgling rushing halfway over to see a legless student had crawled through the gap in the door, under the cabinet and took a bite though the guys neck h'd stopped struggling his eyes going lifeless shortly after.

Blondie or rather the girl named Nami froze in shock trying to scream or speak but unable to find her voice while staring at her brother in shock, Cat was about to say something when the door & cabinet creaked loudly as the door burst open a dozen of the creatures came toppling into the room, the cabinet now awkwardly angled ended up landing on-top of the crawler that was eating the guy pinning it in place, not that it seemed to care as it was busy eating. Cat more reacting than thinking grabbed the aid kit shoving it into Nami's hands & pushing her back to the way she'd came in, cat paused again seemingly i a panicked daze to grab the joint she'd left near the window before hurriedly forcing Nami into the next room slamming the door shut behind & locking it. Cat managed to frenziedly pile some chairs & tables in-front of the small door before she regained her composure, absorbing the situation in its entirety now she nipped out the joint & pocketed it, It slowly dawned on her she was still holding onto the rebar in her other hand as she did so, half spoken mumbling caught her attention as the shock stricken Nami was trembling Cat placed the rebar down on a desk & took the aid kit off Nami placing it next to the rod on the desk, Cat grabbed Nami's shoulders trying to comfort her but struggling to find what to say [color=lightblue]"It, Everything... I..."[/color] Nami burst into tears screaming [color=yellow]"i wanna go home!"[/color] at the top of her lungs as she tugged away from Cat & ran towards this rooms main doors into another corridor which connected to the previous one. Cat ran after her in an attempt to stop Nami but the girl shot off at full speed again evading everything down the corridor as she went, Cat stopped when she reached the large sliding door due to the amount of mutilated people & corpses in the corridor she could only watch as Nami raced away vanishing around a distant corner.

Cat stood alone in silence for a moment before whispering [color=lightblue]"hope you make it home Nami..."[/color] in all sincerity hoping her parents will protect her, the thought triggered a mental picture of her own family in a brief moment of forgetfulness she check her pockets but stopped when she remembered she got into the habit of leaving her mobile phone in the van so it didn't get confiscated when it rang in class like usual, [color=lightblue]"...My van!"[/color] Cat slowly reassured herself of some assemblance of a plan to get out of here & home safely when echo's of distant screaming & shouting interrupted, Cat walked over & picked up the Steel rebar & the first aid kit in her other hand and spoke to reassure herself [color=lightblue]"Right find anyone else that's ok and then get to safety..."[/color] the screaming & shouting seemed to get louder [color=lightblue]"...Easier said than done by the sounds"[/color]. Catherine took a deep breath to ready herself and then set off out of the room in search of others & an exit to the car parks, trying her best to avoid the 'eaters' along the way & kicking down or smacking rebar over the heads of any of the eaters that blocked her way down the corridors, most of the chaos seemed to have moved on to more populated areas of the school, However the isolation & thoughts of being alone during all this was slowly nibbling away at Cat in the back of her mind as she continued on down the corridors, trying to remain calm she pressed the play button on her mp3 player which was attached to her belt, quiet tunes began to play from the headphones around her neck but it did little to ease her worries.
