went to the prison in that tv show, Mari said while standing up off of the floor as she recounted what happened on the television show. “You know, it would make a good place, and we could just do as they did in the show. We’re capable of doing it, especially at our age with all the energy we have,” Mari said.
“Fine, but, if anyone gets turned into a zombie, don’t expect the whole ‘oh, we need
a cure’ thing,” Edmund said while expanding the staff Aoi gave him.
“Oh, so we’re going?” Blake asked.
I ruffled his hair and nodded.
“Alright everyone, let’s go quickly and quietly. We’re not trying to attract attention, and we’re not trying to use up the energy we need to walk the miles to the detention hall.” Edmund said while he put his hand on the door handle.
“I thought the zombies could see, can they?” Lequisha asked.
“They can’t. We already checked.” Edmund replied while twisting the lock.
Lequisha nodded.
Edmund twisted the handle, then he opened the door slowly. Once the door was opened, he slid out of the door followed by everyone else.
The hallway was clear except for the bodies on the ground and the scarlet color splattered all over the place. The walls were
a lively yellow, while the floor was a black marble tile.
I rolled my eyes wondering what type of school has black marble tile on the floor? In the U.S. where I am from, the tiles were white, and the walls were white or a lively color.
When we reached the end of the hallway, Edmund put his hand up to stop us from going further as his gaze swept over the hallway beyond.
Aoi, who was behind him, took a glimpse ignoring his hand.
Right when her head came above his trying to see what was going on, he jerked back his head and body, hitting Aoi hard in the chin.
I smirked. At least I wasn’t the only one getting hurt.
Aoi pulled back grabbing her chin from the pain.
“That’s what you get for not listening to me when I told you to stop” Edmund said while smirking.
Aoi narrowed her eyes at him, nearly closing them.
“Ok, so there are just a few zombies down that hallway. But if we move fast and quite enough, we won’t have to hit them. All we have to do is cross the hallway” Edmund said in a whisper, ignoring Aoi’s stare down. “Ready?” Edmund asked.
I nodded my head, not caring if anyone else was ready or not.
Edmund nodded, and then led us across the hallway. I turned my head to see the zombies that were down the hallway.
When we made it across the hallway, I let out a sigh of relief.
Then all of the sudden I heard Mariah Carey start to sing “ NOW THAT I KNOW THAT YOU WANT ME FOR ME, I CAN BE WHAT YOU WANT, I CAN BE WHAT YOU NEED, NOW THAT I KNOW THAT YOUR LOVE IS FOR REAL, I CAN FINALLY SEE, THAT ITS NOT MAKE BELIEVE ANYMORE!” That’s all I heard before Kaelinda cursed under her breath and grabbed her phone out of her pocket.
I sighed irritated. So I guess someone was trying to call her back. I didn’t know she had a Mariah Carey ringtone? She used to act like she didn’t like her music. Now I know the truth. If we live, I am so holding this over her head!
Edmund turned around with an irritated face and yelled “RUN TOWARDS THE FRONT GATE EXIT!”
We all scrambled.
I didn’t know where the school exit was so I followed Edmund.
He ran down the hallway and turned to a stairwell. I followed behind, running down the stairs. I felt page slide down the rail as she landed in front of the stairs running out the doors. Once Edmund got to the bottom, I jumped off of my stair down to
the bottom of the stairwell. I followed Edmund as he ran down another hallway. I looked behind us. Aoi was behind as well as Blake and Kohaku? Where are Kaelinda, Hana-yon, Mari, and Lequisha?!
Edmund stopped while Paige was standing beside him with the metal staff held horizontally.
The Exit was blocked with zombies.
