## Plot

"What now?" Kenney asked.

"I don't know how to say this, but they're fucked!" I replied.

"Maybe they knew it was coming! They might be hiding!" Sophia suggested.

"Don't get your hopes up," Heath replied.

"We should at least check it out!" Swarfiga said.

"How? There are almost a thousand of those things!" Gerald yelled.

"We could climb a tree," Swarfiga replied.

"Not a chance," Heath said. "This isn't the movies."

"You're saying that while there are a thousand zombies in front of us," Kenney replied.

An idea came to Kenney's mind as he remembered what he had learned in the zombie movies he had watched.

"Guys, we can lure a few zombies over here, just five, cut them open, and smear the blood all over us," Kenney said.

"So our options are: Have Elliot and the others get killed, or catch zombie AIDS," Gerald added.

Kenney was able to alert a small pack of zombies. He ran back to the group while the zombies slowly followed them. Pulling out his knife, he sliced the first zombie open. Then the second, then the third, then the fourth, then the fifth.

"Just the clothes will do. We can change when we get inside," Kenney said. "We found those spares about 2 months ago, if you remember."

The group proceeded to smear the blood of the zombies all over their outfits.

"Yuck," Sophia said.

"Can't believe I'm fucking doing this," Heath sighed.

Once the group were covered, they walked into the herd. To the surprise of Gerald, Swarfiga, Sophia, and Heath, it had actually worked. They entered Sierra High School without any trouble.

Only around ten zombies had managed to enter, so Gerald and Heath took out five while Kenney and Swarfiga also took out five.

"And the award for biggest badass goes to..." Gerald said. "Sophia!"

Heath chuckled slightly, although Sophia didn't quite get the joke. Elliot shoved the door open and ran outside to the five of them, his face full of rage.

"WHERE THE FUCKING FUCK WHERE YOU?" Elliot asked. "AND WHO THE FUCK IS THIS?"

"I'm Heath," Heath replied.

Elliot walked up to Gerald.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT! ESTELLA'S SISTER IS DYING BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT THOSE FUCKING DEAD ASSES TO THE SCHOOL!" Elliot yelled.

Gerald punched Elliot in the face, knocking one of his teeth out. Elliot fell straight to the floor, a big bruise on his right cheek.

"What the dick?" Swarfiga exclaimed.

"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE GONE, BUT SINCE WE WERE GONE, HOW THE FUCK AM I TO BLAME FOR LUNA? I WAS OUT TRYING TO FIND MY UNCLE BECAUSE I OWE HIM ONE! WHEN MY MOM DIED AND MY DAD BECAME A DRUNKEN ASSHOLE, HE RAISED ME LIKE I WAS HIS OWN FUCKING BOY! SO WHY DON'T YOU TAKE WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO SAY TO ME AND SHOVE IT UP THAT GIGANTIC FUCKING ASSHOLE OF YOURS?" Gerald screamed.

Everyone around Gerald was completely stunned. None of them could think of anything to say.

"Jesus..." Heath said at last.

"We should go to the others," Kenney suggested.

Gerald grabbed Elliot by the neck and dragged him up. The six of them entered the Science block, and saw Luna on a table. Von, Sophie, James, Estella, Mr. Keogh, Dr. Logan, and Mr. Fletcher were all gathered around her.

"Looks who's finally here," Von said while rolling his eyes.

"Von, now's not the time," Mr. Keogh replied.

"They ditched us!" Von replied.

"Grow a scrotum and be a man about it," Mr. Keogh said.

Gerald, Kenney, Swarfiga, Sophia, and Heath joined the group at the table. Luna was white as a sheet, she had bags under her eyes, and a huge bite mark on her hand.

"We were going to cut off her hand, but I couldn't bring myself to hurt her like that," Estella said.

Swarfiga wrapped his arm around Estella as Luna breathed heavily.

"Who's the new guy?" Sophie asked.

"This is Heath. He has my uncle in a group, and he said we can join if we want to," Gerald replied.

"I think we're good for now," Sophie said.

"I decide how we do things around her, Soph," Mr. Fletcher replied.

"Guys, can you shut up? Estella's sister is kinda dying right now," Von hissed.

At last, Luna gave a final breath as Estella cried. Swarfiga gave her a hug and took her away from the group to calm her down.

"It's gotta be done," Sophie sighed.

Dr. Logan clutched his hatchet in his right hand. He raised it, and gently slammed it into Luna's head.

"Oh, fuck..." Kenney gasped.
