Chapter 3

Continuation (⁠*⁠＾⁠3⁠＾⁠)⁠/⁠～⁠♡

\= Inside the XXX MALL \=

While the students and teachers are having a fun party time, the survivor from earlier started shouting at the entrance calling for help, but the guards kept blocking him because he was late to the party but the other students nearby the entrance heard him. They decided to check on what was going on at the entrance and saw the scared survivors looking all bloody and distressed from what happened earlier. They start asking him what happened to him while comforting him, they bring him food, water, and a towel to wipe the blood from him.

\= After calming the survivor down \=

He started telling them what happened to them, and he asked to help his friends because they were still at the school entrance. One of the students who comforts him goes to tell the teacher and asks to help the other injured students at the entrance of the school, so they call an ambulance near the XXX MALL but no one answers.

\= After more phone calls declined \=

The teacher decided to ask the school president and vice president to go to the school to check on other injured students at the entrance while the teacher is going to the nearby hospital. Checking on why they're not picking up the emergency calls, after telling them what to do they decided to move quickly.

\= After arriving at the hospital \=

The entrance of the hospital looks like it had been raided with a lot of smeared blood on the counter, floors, windows, and walls. The teacher is taken back at what she saw, horrified at the looks of the hospital she decides to step back, but she falls down on the way, she momentarily looks at the thing that caused her to fall down and that shocked her to the core that she started screaming while crying.

At what she saw is a body with the organs hanging outside, half of it is gone with a pool of blood still gushing as if it had been freshly ripped like a salmon eaten by a bear. The teacher keeps screaming at the situation she's in, but she chooses to get up and go outside to ask for help, but before the teacher could even go outside someone pulled her in strongly causing her bruises and she screamed again in agony because not only she's bruising, someone bit her as if they had been starving for months.

The teacher didn't know that someone, was a lot of people biting her from the hand, waist legs, feet, back, and head munching her like green peas as if the teacher is some kind of snack. At that point she's gone, she didn't know that everything started here and mindlessly walking on a de@th trap.

\= Back to the trio, it's already afternoon \=

"Do you think they're coming to save us?" Aylene asked worrying that no one would come to save them. "Girl, if they don't save us the school would go on a mud because it will tarnish their reputation, they won't risk it since a lot of students are studying here" Gia said while rolling her eyes, but she's also worried about that too. "Don't you guys forget that although we're the only people here in this building right now doesn't mean the senior main building doesn't have any students or teachers don't forget they're decorating the school for the afternoon event too." Macie said chilling while playing on her phone still trying to forget what happened.

They didn't know the infected guards, students including the school president and vice president were roaming around the whole building infecting anyone in sight or finding more victims using their sense of smell, not only to eat people but also to spread it.

Macie checked her phone if there's any update outside and finally the government of XXX city they're in finally announced something they aren't expecting. "Girls, look at the online news" Macie said while showing it to them.

Mayor of XXX City 2:59 pm

Today I announced that everyone stays at your house for safety reasons, packing enough food, water, clothes, emergency medical kit, and more necessities that are needed. Don't go outside as the infection is still spreading fast, We didn't know which one is patient zero, but we know the infection started at XXX hospital near the XXX MALL and Terminal. If you're already outside staying at the building that you're at right now, we don't know how it was spreading besides biting, and they started eating everyone in sight so stay safe everyone, This is not a drill, Thank you and survive.

"We are totally f*cked" Aylene and Gia said in a low voice. "But hey at least we are prepared though" Macie said trying to lighten the mood. "Yup and it's totally unexpected though none of these sh*t is our fault, at least we can finally sleep over you know, and also thanks to Gia's magical instinct we came prepared" Aylene jokingly said causing the trio to smile at the idea of a sleepover at school. "Not only that we can use the aircon (⁠~⁠‾⁠▿⁠‾⁠)⁠~" Gia said smiling like she's on vacation. (well technically it is going to be a permanent vacation)

\= Status outside of the XXX School \=

At the 7/11, the remaining people inside are trying to fend for themselves fighting for their life with betrayal going on, trying to kill each other for the food in the end half of them are infected, some of them are killed and only a few survivors left, deciding to go out in the open.

Inside the Terminal, Some people start to bite one another, tearing them apart some try to leave with the drivers still inside telling them to move quickly, but some are unlucky because the jeep and bus they are in doesn't have a door or window to protect themselves.

Inside the XXX Mall, the survivor from earlier started acting strangely looking anxious hungry and needed a lot of water and food. In the end the survivor becomes infected and starts biting and munching other students and adults near him, others trying to survive using other students as a meat shield and other people go inside the supermarket inside of the mall and shut the sliding shutter door so no one else could go inside. While some go to a restaurant and do the same thing blocking the entrance getting rid of anyone who's possibly infected and trying to make a hierarchy of who's strong and who's weak using it as a way to dominate others into submission.

Inside the Mayor's Office, the community didn't know it's the last time they're going to hear from their Mayor because of how fast the infection spreads that it reached the government building the Mayor at his despair and last option he decides to warn his community as the last act of public service to his people, and he prefers to off himself since he is cornered and no option left for survival.

People in the neighborhood community started closing door barricading everything after seeing a lot of the infected come from a bus that leaves the area of Terminal. Some stubborn people stay outside to find out what's happening and some infected started running to them biting every area possible munching any meat left on the body while others infected trying to sense the area if there's anyone to eat, some infected are stubborn too, trying to break any entrance possible. Some neighbors tried to fight the infected but ended up de@d on the spot.

\= Back to Gia, Aylene, and Macie \=

It's almost nighttime they're still stuck but someone banged on the back gate. They heard help and screamed and some survivors said "WHY THE F*CK IS THIS LOCKED!" thanks to Aylene's idea earlier to also lock the back gate because after they cursed trying to open the back gate some infected eat them alive while creating a nasty gurgling scream because of the gushing blood in the mouth.

Gia, Macie, and Aylene wear their earphones and stay close together while sitting at the floor, after turning the lights off to not attract infected or anyone nearby and putting the chairs at the door just in case, they also taped the sides of the curtains not too straight but also no too loose just enough for others not to see them on what they're doing.

After all someone tried to call them from the outside but ended up de@d with the infected looking up on where the infected's victims were looking at, after seeing the trio the infected tried to go there but was blocked by the gate door, the infected keeps on lashing out but at the end it given up on the idea and find another victim instead, that confirms there suspicions and decided to close the curtains and never open them again.
