Jericho was never happy. He was just a poor kid who regretted every bad move he made that involved money. When Jericho had to be janitor of the school to get money, he became even more angry that was the only job available, janitor. He had heard the outbreak (via gossip) had spread in Kansas City. "Great even more bad luck." said Jericho.

Jared looked on in horror as a group of "things" drug down his Football coach and slowly began devouring him, the mans screams drowned out by the groaning of his once fellow classmates as they gnawed on the coach. Instantly he turned his Varsity letter jacket swinging with him, the gold sleeves now as sleek red as the blood of his coach ran down them. As he turned more of the things lumbered towards him moaning as they approached. Jared ducked his shoulder and dropped his head, just like in Football and plowed through one of the oncoming "things". He sprinted through the gym doors and out into the hallway, once quiet, now filled with screams and groans as teachers and students alike fell victim to the "things". Jared sprinted down the hall trying to avoid the "things" and make it to the doorway when more of the "things" filled his main exit. He quickly adjusted his feet and took off down the next hallway dodging as best he could and trying to make it to another exit. As he approached a fire exit he slipped and fell...he had slipped in blood...

[SSTxReaper]

One moment Trent was listening to his teacher talk and then everyone was screaming and running. Trent barely heard what the principle said over the radio.
"Attention everyone the school is under attack.... by terr... please remain ca... stay inside your class-.....Argah!..."
Everyone stood up and ran out of the classroom. Trent himself decided not to follow his classmates. As Trent turned a corner he saw some of his "friends" eating one of the teachers. "The fuck is going on here.... Jeff...Jonny. What are you doing to Ms. White?" His "friends" stood up and started walking toward him. Mouths open filled with bloody flesh and arms outward. Trent stood there long enough for them to grab him, but quickly snapped out of it and ran. Trent ran until he saw a guy laying on the floor. He recognize the student as Jared. Gentely he kicked Jared. "Hey dude wake up... some things are comming this way." Trent looked behind him as those things came at them slowly approaching them...

[Scawendaen]

Mrs. Hinderton heard the announcement and quickly told her students to stay calm. She closed and locked her door, while commanding her students to crawl out of the second-story window, on to the roof. The students opened the window and quietly slipped out. From the roof, Doris could see the parking lot, filled with the cars.

One of the students climbed down a ladder and began sprinting to his car.. the other students quickly followed.
"Wait! No, stay here!" Doris yelled. "God damnet!"
By the time she got out of the window, all the students had ran out to the parking lot... each had a different fate. Some were devoured, a few ran out of the parking lot, and some even made it to their cars... Doris refused to take any chances... instead she pulled out her cellphone and attempted to call her husband... her phone was silent. She climbed back into her room, sat down, and waited.

"Shit."

[Crumlark]

Rin-Ishtar is not a lucky boy. His morning started out normally enough, his dad having gone to work at the power plant already, Rin ate horridly made scrambled eggs, runny near the center. But little of that matters now. Now, a stench prevailed through Rin's senses. A stench cleansed only by violence.

In the Chemistry Lab, a twelve year old boy strived to survive, wielding a brass pipe much like a baseball bat. They just came from nowhere, but everywhere at the same time, those lifeless, soulless meat puppets, driven only by the promise of his death, for his flesh.

Whimpering from fright, this boy, named Rin-Ishtar, felt the weight of this improvised yard-long weapon, only minutes ago used to connect a bunsen burner and a light source, perfectly innocent intentions set out for it, now corrupted by the red, frothy mixture of blood, bone, and weak flesh accumulating at the end of it. Three of these walking cadavers fell easily to the weapon so far, but the many more behind them kept Rin on edge, letting nothing get within two feet of him. This solid wall of flesh advanced, inches at a time, and Rin would be powerless to fend them off if they got too packed together, or if his arms tired too much to use this heavy tool. Even with an optimistic guess, Rin believed that within two minutes, he would be overwhelmed, and consumed alive. But until the last second, and to his last breath, Rin would ferociously fend them off. The zombies now too consolidated to defeat with a swinging motion, Rin instead made a wide arc over his head, cracking the skull of one of the zombies like eggshells. "Heh," Rin said with a smirk, remembering his breakfast, yelling out with amazing gusto for a young child, "It's lunch-time!"

Occupied with shoving back the shambling forces of the undead, Rin did not notice the newcomers outside the window looking into the hallway, not more than... three layers of the horde away, was some poor chap who slipped in a puddle of blood, and a good samaritan helping him up.

[Cretin Patrol]

Jesse had been in the computer room, the site of an embarrassing incident caused by a porn-hungry student. After the rest of the class had been hushed out of the room, Jesse had been called in to revert the crippling computer virus that the boy had inadvertently downloaded. After wrapping up his job, he headed for the door only to be bumrushed by a paleskinned zombie. He slammed the door shut, throwing his weight up against it.

Jesse had fallen into a sort of mental limbo. What he had seen couldn't have been real, right? Grabbing a nearby chair and propping it against the door, he punched up Google News on a PC. Updates on the grisly disease were proliferating throughout the web. He bolted for a window, dashing through the baseball field and towards the parking lot. Though he was expecting a frantic pursuit, the ghouls didn't seem to notice him. He slowed his pace (while still maintaining a brisk one) and climbed into his Hyundai.

Under the seat was a .357 magnum revolver, his talisman in the predicament, albeit one with a very limited capacity. He had only 14 rounds with him - after all, he had carried on the off-chance of encountering a violence criminal - not a throng of frenzied monsters. There was no way he could challenge the crowd of ghouls, so he thought it best to split while they (apparently) couldn't see him. But how many people might be in that school? Could he live with himself for running off and abandoning those in need? He sat in the car, clutching his revolver, waiting for a reason...

[HomeLand Safety]

Jared looked up at Trent and took his hand "Thanks" As he stood up his jacket dripped blood, whose blood, it didn't matter. "Listen we have to get out of here now, I don't know what these things are but they sure as hell want to gnaw on our body parts". Jared's once faded blue jeans now a dark purple because of the blood "If we can get to my truck we have a way out". The truck Jared was referring too was a Silver 2004 Ford F-150 5.2L Triton 4x4, having an extended cab and a Kangaroo/Brush guard attached to the front. "I parked it out back by the Football Stadium. We should look for anymore survivors." Jared turned to see the horde of things now slowly moving down the hallway, and watched as a student tried to run but was grabbed by her ponytail and yanked to the floor. "Well so much for the cheer team captain, lets go". Jared motioned further down the hallway and took off at a brisk jog to avoid slipping again.
Jared fumbled through his pocket and produced his Iphone, frantically dialing the number of his home.
"We are not able to come to the phone right now please leave a message after the tone"
"Dammit!" Jared shoved the phone back in his pocket and kept jogging.
He ran by a classroom when he noticed a small child frantically fighting off the things with a piece of pipe. Jared's feet instantly changed direction and before he could stop himself he was in the classroom shoulder bashing a thing away from the child. He heard the crack of the things jaw as it disconnected from the head and he smiled. "Who knew that pull blocking would come in handy during anything other then Football." He said to himself, he glanced over at the child with a piece of pipe and motioned for him to come.

[TaQud]

Jericho saw a horde of whatever the infected people were called heading his way. "Oh damn." said Jericho as soon as he saw them. Jericho then ran for his life as he saw the infectants. Jericho then saw a sign saying "Cafeteria ----->" and Jericho decided to run that way. The cafeteria was a huge place so he may had an advantage when hiding their. But he could still see the infectants behind him. Jericho immediately push the doors when entering the cafeteria. "I gotta hide quick. Where to pick where to pick!?" thought Jericho panicking. Jericho then decided to hide in a trash can. (with no trash in there fortunately) Jericho then heard the infectants walking around the room. They searched through the cafeteria salad bar and lunch lien to see if he was hiding behind there. Jericho then heard the footsteps walk away from the cafeteria. He thought he was actually lucky he wasn't infected yet. Jericho then got out of the trash can and looked to see what knives the cafeteria had. Jericho then saw a cabinet labeled "authorized personnel only" and open it. He saw a carving knife (the same knife used to cut the turkey for the lunch 4 days before thanksgiving) and decided to go back into hiding in the trash can until further notice...

[Scawendaen]

As she smoked what probably would be one of her last cigarettes, Mrs. Hinderton sat and thought about all of the possible outcomes...

Doris had pulled her desk in front of the door, waiting for something to attempt an entry. She thought of all the things that could happen to her if she were to open the door...

"Shit.." she said to herself. Doris rushed to find a weapon. She grabbed two pairs of scissors from her desk, placed them in her pocket, then grabbed a fire extinguisher off her wall. She knew it was time to fight.

She opened her door, looked left and right--no zombies. Doris was pleasantly surprised... but still she remained vigilant. She walked right down the hallway, towards the cafeteria, hearing footsteps and groans coming from a nearby hall. She turned and saw a young student run into the cafeteria. The zombies were close behind, but exited the room shortly after entering..

"They either got 'em or... they got 'em.." she said quietly to herself.
She waited for the zombies to tread away and then entered the cafeteria..

[TaQud]

Jericho decided that he like hiding in the trash can. He decided to cut two holes at the bottom of the trash can and put his feet there so he could carry the trash can with him. Then he heard footsteps. He though it was an infectant and decided to roll out of the cafeteria. He then starting rolling all across the hallway. He decided to stop and place the trash can right by a water fountain to look like he wasn't hiding in the trash can...

[SSTxReaper]

"No problem." Trent listen to Jared's plan while watching the hallway as the zombies slowly approach them. "Alright sounds like a good plan." Trent turned to face Jared but he was already gone sprinting down the hallway. Trent immediately took off running as well when he saw Jared enter a classroom. Trent stopped in front of the doorway and saw a little kid with a pipe and that Jared was fighting a zombie. He was going to help him when he saw another zombie coming from down the hall. Quickly Trent ran up to the infected slid down on the floor knocking the zombie to the ground. Before the zombie could get up Trent stood over the zombie and stomp on it's face multiple times, until the skull was now mush. Trent jogged back to the classroom and saw that Jared was okay and so was the kid. Trent looks down at his shoes and saw that they were now bloody red with bits of flesh on them. He waited for Jared to lead the way...

[Crumlark]

The zombies were too close for comfort, with this small melee range, Claustrophobia set in. Rin would be dead within seconds. Rin tightly closed his eyes, and waited for the killing blow, the sharp, mottled teeth sinking into his side that would end his mind, and kill his soul.

But it never came.

A much older boy, on the verge of manhood, risked his own sanity to help him. With pure brute force, this honorable man-child tore through the ranks of dead, pushing them aside leaving nothing in his wake, and cleared a path to salvation. The hallway lights, some dimmed, and most already showering sparks, shined behind this boy's muscular form, appearing like a halo of light and life surrounding him. Rin, too shocked to point out the irony, or even speak, allowed him to hold Rin's hand, and together, they pulled out of that death trap, and into the emptied hallway. Still holding the pipe, Rin broke free of his grasp, letting out a ragged breath, and hugged him, grateful for the extension of his life that he was responsible for. Without a sound, Rin shed a silent tear, thinking of his sister. "I need to find my sister." He said to his savior, "You two need to go, the zombies will kill you easily, and you have no reason to die or stay here, but I need to stay behind, she needs me."

Loosening the hug, Rin backed away, and ran off, the barely audible pitter patter of his feet hitting the floor the only reminder he ever existed to the two survivors.

"Where the hell is he going?" Jared watched the younger kid take off down the hallway and then looked over at Trent. "Fuck it lets go" Jared stepped over the fallen bodies and pushed out into the hallway "We need to get to the cafeteria, so we can get out of the damn building" Jared sidestepped a zombie that gnawed on a once fellow student, the students body jerking with each bite. "We need to go by the Gym again and pass down the main hallway so be ready to run." Jared came to a slowed stop and looked down the hallway...it was filled with the things, gnawing on fallen friends,students,teachers alike. "Get ready...."Jared glanced over at Trent.

Getting ready to run Trent took off his letter man jacket and took a flagpole from one of the classrooms. "Ready.."

[TaQud]

Jericho then saw an exit sign when looking around. "An exit! How fortunate. SO long suckers." Jericho then pushed the stairs towards the door. He kept rolling softly to make sure no infectants heard him. He got the door open. But he didn't realize one thing. There were stairs that he did not think of at the moment. And just when he thought he was lucky he fell downstairs in the trash can. It felt like some bumpy rollercoaster ride and it wouldn't stop. though the end would be a crash. Jericho then landed and now the trash can he is in, just stopped and tried to get himself out of the can.

[HomeLand Safety]

Jared glanced over at Trent who now was wielding a flagpole "Eh...stay behind me..." Jared readied himself "GO!" Jared took off from the corner dropping his shoulder and slamming into the horde, the mass of his body being used to his advantage and basically bowling over the horde in front of him. After he slammed over 5-6 he finally slowed down, and came face to face with the beast's, some of whom had been close friends. "Shit..." Jared muttered. As the first thing approached him arms outstretched towards him. He dropped to a wrestling stance and dove for its legs and lifted basically flipping the thing over his back. When the beast hit the ground Jared brought his size 16 shoe down hard on the thing head. "TRENT I COULD USE SOME HELP!" Jared yelled as he frantically kicked the legs out from under one of the other approaching beast's. He brought his foot down hard on the second fallen beast and soon began to grapple with the third.

Trent took off running behind, Jared. He saw as Jared slam into the horde of infected. "Man why does he always do that." Trent thought to himself. Using the sharp end of the flagpole Trent began to spear the infected and saw that it was useless. Trent than quickly thought about their heads and began to spear them on their heads. They quickly started to fall and soon the flagpole fell. "Shit...." Trent started to grabbed any other infected and started to slam their heads against the wall or floor...

[Cretin Patrol]

Jesse knew he couldn't be a hero, but what if he had been one of those scared, helpless kids in the school? He had to do something. Starting up his car, he made his way back towards the school, driving on the grass and honking his horn, looking for anyone he could be of service to. With the magnum in hand, he waited for his chance.

Jared dropped his shoulder and sprinted again, knocking over more of the things and motioning for Trent, "COME ON!" Jared kicked over one of the things as they attempted to get up. Jared sprinted down the hall sidestepping more things and pushing over any that got in his way. He came to a stop in the commons area and reached for a chair as a thing stumbled closely behind. Jared brought the chair to bare on the thing in full swing sending the thing sprawling back into almost 5 or 6 more and knocking them to the ground. "Stay close..." Jared swung the chair down on a former colleague that had no legs, devoured by those things. "Fuckin' bastards..." Jared looked on into the crowds some surviving students finally surrendering to the horde or ones trying to run only being drug down and devoured.

Trent stayed close to Jared and quickly side stepped when he swung the chair at the infected. Trent saw that they were now in the commons area. "Yes we are almost close to the gym!" Trent cried out loud. "Come on let's go!"

As she stood in the cafeteria, Doris Hinderton began to feel the chaos. The danger and atrocities that awaited her were more than she could ever have imagined.. She needed some hope... a possible savior. She could hear the sounds of zombies all around the cafeteria, the screaming of innocent victims just through the door... She was scared.

BUT THEN, she heard a new sound... a car horn!
"The fucking things can drive now?" she mumbled to herself... but Doris was wrong. It was a student driving that car.

She quickly used a chair to break through one of the cafeteria's windows and sprinted into the parking lot. She could see zombies all around her, scattered across the lot.

"HEY! OVER HERE! HELP!" she screeched. Doris knew she couldn't run for too long, so she prayed that the student would hear her...
"PLEASE HELP ME!" she yelled. Doris knew this was her only chance.

OOC: Sorry for the confusion but my character is a staff member.

Jesse saw his opportunity in the form of an elderly woman being pursued by the ghouls. Arcing his car around and approaching her, he opened his window and leaned out, aiming his magnum. His first shot completely missed, but it drew a few zombies towards him. As they sprinted towards him, his shot was clearer. Hmm, did the grisly affliction somehow diminish the sight of its victims? Something to note. This time, a .357 round punched through the monster's chest, knocking it down but appearing not to kill it. Now driving parallel to the woman, he slowed his speed and she plowed through the door.

"Are you alright?"

[HomeLand Safety]

Jared tossed the now blood covered and mangled chair too the ground and watched it skid for a moment and then sprinted, his 6'3" 275lb frame covering ground fast, one of the things turned to see the beast roaring down on him, but before it could release a groan it was met with size 16 shoe, in true "300" fashion, to the chest sending the thing flying backwards onto the ground, while Jared yelled "THIS IS LIBERTY!!!!!". Sweat dripped down Jared's face and impacted the ground, he ducked his shoulder and sprinted towards another thing that had yet to turn on the noise, and sent the thing sprawling when the Jared's force met the back of the beast. "Just one more hallway...GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT!!!"
Jared roared as he took off again, his body going in overdrive as the adrenaline seemed endless, he was a force of death and wouldn't be stopped. "MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!" Jared bellowed as he met the few that meandered near the exit.

[TaQud]

Jericho managed to grab his carving knife that landed on the ground. Jericho immediately started to jab the sides of it to push the trash can. (Using the holding part not the bladed part) After 4 tries, the trash can finally moved and Jericho was now able to free himself. "I got to get out of this place!" said Jericho grabbing the trash can. He then immediately started rolling towards shelters or at least a nearby house...
