High School of the Dead

She lifted her head, feeling blood trickling down her forehead. She blinked the blood away from her eyes and tried to orient herself. A broken mangled body lie before her jeep, but from the edges of the light from her headlights she realized that something was approaching. A swarm of them approached and began feasting upon the body that she had hit.

The engine refused to turn over as Raven tried desperately with her last strength to get away. She gave a cry of frustration as she kept trying, eventually flooding the engine. She dropped the keys onto the floor, feeling tears coming to her eyes. The sputtering noise of the engine was gathering attention.

A woman staggered back and forth, cocking her head from side to side with those creepy red eyes glaring at her from the darkness. She seemed to be deciding whether or not Raven was something to eat. Her pause caused more to look up. They all had a similar reaction, tilting heads back and forth quizzically. A few limped forward and Raven flashed the lights at them, honking the horn. They stopped, unsure.

Raven couldn't keep her eyes open. The blood kept running down her forehead, and her arm felt like lead as she tried to reach up to wipe it away. Her head was aching and as she reached up she realized the steering wheel had left a giant gash. She drifted away for a minute and when she managed to open her eyes again, a man had climbed up onto the hood of her Jeep and begun clawing at the windshield.

Raven felt fear, but it registered in the back of her mind. She managed to honk the horn again but it was ineffective this time. They continued to come, swarming around the Jeep. Raven's fingers faltered as she managed to hit the door lock, locking herself in. They were pounding on the windows now. She fell forward again, her bosom hitting the horn and she fell into the darkness of unconsciousness.

 

 I like how you were the only one to notice I wrote that 

 

MSgt Denault didn't speak as the truck wound through the night. He yawned a little as he shifted back in his seat. He had been up for a long time now and was looking forward to getting back to base so he could rest a little.

A sound from outside the truck made him look, and just then the driver swerved sharply to the side. Melly screamed as she fell onto the floor. Jazmin and Josh also fell sideways, while James who was sitting on the opposite end hit his head against the truck door. The car slammed to a halt at an impact. MSgt Denault steadied himself and looked towards the front seat.

“What's going on?” he shouted.

The truck had been going up along the forest-lined path towards the military facility. The driver had been knocked unconscious by the impact of the car into a tree as he swerved. The other man in the front was groaning in pain.

Kristofer Denault peered out of the side window and saw that a swarm was coming for them through the dark. It must have been his human instinct for the driver to swerve at the sight of another human, but Kristofer knew that he could not consider them human anymore.

The front driver's door was ripped open and the driver was dragged out into the night. Kristofer heard the crunching of bone and the man in the passenger seat started screaming as he grabbed for his weapon. But it was too late.

Kristofer watched as the man kicked away a groping arm before he began shooting at something outside of the door. Then he too was ripped violently out of the truck by his legs. Gunfire continued for a few seconds and then abruptly ended. The screaming didn't.

 

I'm really depressed today because I am relinquishing my cats today to the Humane Society so I may take a position in the US Customs and Border Protection.

In short I am going to apologize now if I cannot update frequently due to grief. I love them very much and after a lot of deliberation I came to this decision.

 

 I'm sorry I worded it poorly. Kristofer is still inside, the passenger was pulled from the truck.

And yes at 4:50pm yesterday I gave up my cats and it's really lonely without them which might make me sound like a cat lady but they were like my family so... I'll be attempting an update later today.
