VIII Heathens

Caspian was startled when he suddenly saw Nathan and his other classmates walking sneakily by the road but he seemed to have noticed the decrease of students. But his friends are still alive.

He didn't immediately reveal that he was alive and just followed the group. While walking his classmates seemed to be very sad and emotional. "I think I should've just stayed in the classroom." classmate 1

"Why would you say that, you would run out of food anyway and needed to go outside to look for some."classmate 2

"But what if teachers or some officials went there to save us."classmate 1

"If there is then where are they."classmate 2 retorted.

"I don't know." classmate 1 sadly replied

Caspian looked into the crowd and saw his best friends but they were haggard. Ken seems to have become very serious and Aiden as really scared.

Caspian didn't know what to say since he wasn't with then when something occurred so he had to figure out what happened to know why his classmates became like this half dead people.

He stepped back and walked away from the group, since he decided that he will just follow them and look for an opportunity to talk to Nathan himself and figure out what happened to them.

After a few minutes of walking the group stopped in front of a small store like seven eleven and got inside and killed some zombies that were inside and threw them out.

Then barricaded the door and rested inside.

They were great fighters so why were there less students and sad ones. Caspian walked slowly behind Nathan and grabbed him. He struggled and Caspian whispered "Its me."

Nathan stopped and slowly looked at Caspian's face and sighed in relief.

"Its really you."

"What happened to you guys and where's the others."

"A man."

"What?."

"A man suddenly appeared asking for help, we let him join our group and all is well when we were getting supplies."

"What did he do?."

"A horde of zombies suddenly appeared, we were running away when he suddenly pushed Kim towards the zombies. We watched he get eaten by the zombies. Her best friend was devastated we were devastated so she stabbed him in the leg and ran to us but a zombie got her and pulled her into the horde the man got away but with a bleeding leg and the horde following him."

"You don't need to worry he's already dead anyway."

"What do you mean?."

"I bumped into him."

"Then."

"He was asking for help too and the horde was still behind him."

"Did you help him?"

"No, I left him. I climbed up and watched him die."

"But, where were you. We looked for you but you were nowhere to be found."

"Somewhere around here."

Nathan sighed and just said ok. Caspian stayed with Nathan and the others until midnight were he went out and got two walkie talkie's and put one on the table with a label.

'Call me if you need me'

And after that Caspian left his classmates and searched for a vehicle where he that he can use to ride home to his parents.
