chapter one

Chapter one.

The noise were reducing little by little and in less than two hours the school was silent. Damian and Beatrice were seated close to each other inside the not to bright basement. Beatrice had her hands on her stomach which rumbled once in a while, she had left for school hurriedly and didn't had breakfast, and when it was lunch she was busy inside the staff room fulfilling her duties as the head girl.

Damian noticed the silent rumbling and got on his feet. She looked at him with a worried expression.

" Where are you going? " Damian picked up his black leather bag and readied the dagger in his grip.

" I want to get something we can eat. I can't have you die on me. " Damian said as Beatrice wanted to protest but Damian stopped her with his words.

" Am also hungry so don't think am doing this for you. " He looked at her sternly.

" Don't let anyone in and barricade the entrance once I step out. Don't get to scared, am coming back. " He pushed the chairs and tables as he opened the door, he realised the coast was clear as he dashed up the stairs getting into the hallway. The hallway was nothing like he remembered, the white walls were now painted with blood leaving a foul stench in the air, several bodies and limbs were scattered across the hallway. If it was any average students, the world have vomited at the sight of this but Damian was no ordinary student. He swallowed his saliva as he sprinted towards the cafeteria as fast as he can and as silent as possible. The zombies were not seen on his was but as he was about to turn left, he sighted two zombies devouring on a student Infront of the cafeteria.

" Damn it. " He cursed as he hide in one the empty classroom, he looked around and saw two females students hiding by the wall with hands in their mouth crying silently.

The students looked at Damian like a saviour and wanted to talk but Damian placed a finger on his lips.' this zombies can't smell because of the stench of blood everywhere but there ears are sharp. I must leave here, I don't want this girls to be a burden on me. ' he saw a zombie walking towards their direction as he squatted.' they can't be blind, those red eyes doesn't seem blind.'

The zombie walked off as Damian made his way towards the exit of the classroom. But some silent whimper called his attention. Looking at the girls he mouthed silently.

" I can't save you." Damian ran out of the classroom heading for the cafeteria. The zombies Infront of the cafeteria were gone. He pushed the door of the cafeteria slowly as he made his way in. He looked around and sighted no zombies, he heaved a sigh of relief and walked towards the kitchen were food and snacks were stored. He was still on high alert in case of any flesh eating beast was inside.

A silent chuckle followed by a growl made him stop on his tracks, he turned around slowly as he saw a zombie who was different from rest standing few feets away from him. The zombie had same Grey hair and glowing blood red eyes, sharp canines and pale skin, but this particular zombie had a sinister smile on his face.

" What the. " Damian muttered as he felt his own body leaving the ground crashing against the shelves in the kitchen. He groaned in pain as he rised up to his feet. . " Hahahaha. " The zombie laughed hesterically, enjoying the pain he inflicted on Damian. Not giving Damian the chance to recover the zombie charged at Damian again, his fist aiming for his face. Damian saw this and was quick to dogde just in time. He saw this as an opening and decided to stab the frenzied zombie in the ribs, but the zombie caught his hand, twisting it slowly, before throwing him against the shelves again.

*CRASH*

The shelves got destroyed by the impact and ceramic plates fell on his head. The zombie giggled in excitement as he walked towards Damian slowly. ' this zombie is strong, I don't think I stand a chance. ' Damian gritted his teeth in pain as he rised up slowly. ' I need a distraction. ' he looked around, his eyes searching everywhere.

" Damn it. " He muttered as he pointed his knife at the zombie. His back ached and blood was dripping from his head making him dizzy, with all of his strength he charged towards the zombie, as he closed the gap between them, he threw the knife at the zombie eye, which caught the zombie unaware, as the sliver knife pierced the zombie left eye.

" Ahhhhhhhh. " The zombie growled loudly. Damian did a back flip and kick the knife deeper in the zombie skull. The zombie froze and fell down dead.

" Finally. " Damian panted staring at zombie on the floor. He squated and removed his dagger from the head which was covered in blue blood. He looked around and saw sausage rolls on the counter not to far from him. He rushed towards it and poured everything in his bad, heading towards the fridge to get water. He took a gulp of the water as he rested against the fridge.

" These zombies are fast and strong. " He said to himself as he started his journey towards the basement. Fifty percent of the zombies had left the school once they were tired of searching for food to eat, this was the only thing that made Damian get back to the basement faster, he descended the stairs reaching for the door. He knocked twice.

" It's me. " He could hear Beatrice gasp in excitement as she rushed towards the barricaded door. The door was opened and Damian quickly got inside. Beatrice hugged him as she sobbed quietly.

" What happened? " She asked. But Damian just smiled and made his way deeper into the basement.

" It's nothing to worry about. " He said.

" Humm Dee. I might have done something you won't like. "

" And what could that be? " Damian couldn't care less for he knows Beatrice wouldn't do anything stupid. He walked to their spot and met two figures seated on a table whimpering and crying.

" Why would you go against me. "
