The apocalypse

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnggggggggg


That was the sound of the first bell ringing throughout the small town high school, signaling the dreadful five minutes till class. The halls were packed with teens, all clamoring to get to their classes on time. Abby was among those who rushed to get to class, not liking getting there early and waiting. She always waited for the last minute to do everything, it was a trait of hers, or a flaw. However you look at it. She rushed into the class and literally jumped to her desk, which was in the back row, in between two dumb blondes. Which she despised, stupid boyfriend stealers. The class soon filled with other students, some freshmen, a few sophomores. It was noisy too, the geeks talking among themselves, sharing cheat codes and game hints while the popular girls gossiped over the hottest celebrity relationships. In the front row sat some kids, there own group unspecified among there peers. You could call them outcasts, the lonely ones, or perhaps the ones that no one liked. However if you actually looked, you actually paid attention to them you would see they were smart, actually having fun among there group, helping each other. Abby herself was apart of this group but tended to remain in the back, so she wouldn't be called on. She sighed softly, as she was stressed about so many things in her young life. Suddenly she felt someone tap on her shoulder and she looked up to see her step brother Zach looking at her. "hey sis, did you hear about the party tonight? It's over at Stephens" he said with a smile, after all stephen was one of Zachs best friends and a member of the 'group'. 

"I've heard of it, obviously it wasn't hard to figure out. Stephen likes to tell people things he shouldn't know or do" Abby said looking from her step brother to her friend (insert name) across the room.

"so are you going?" zach asked, his eyes suddenly falling on the black haired girl that had walked in with a brunette with redish strands. 

"of course not, you know I don't get along with Kyle, and he always goes to those parties" she said with disgust. "do I'll be home, doing homework and helping with mom"

Zach smiled "uh hub, you mean your going to invite your friend over and talk to your boyfriend over Facebook?" he asked, knowing his step sister would do exactly that.

"oh shut up" Abby mumbled and leaned back as zach turned and walked back up to his seat in the front row, right ahead of the girl he had looked upon not three minutes earlier. The teacher came in soon after zach sat down and the room fell to a quieted hush.... 

"today" The teacher, Mr. Macintosh began. "we are having a field trip to a science lab" the class started clamoring around with excitement, because trips meant partners "you will have partners...which have already been chosen!" Mr. Macintosh said and the room settled as the teens returned to their seats. The tall grating haired teacher stood, using his desk as a slight support as he looked over his class of 20 teenagers. "now, let's see....Steven and Caroline" 

"why me!" Caroline muttered as she slammed her head on her desk while steven grinned, this temporary partnership would let him annoy her.

"next" Mr. Macintosh continued. "Abigail and Michael, Marcy and Andge" With that Abigail and Michael exchanged a smile and a wink, while Marcy and Andge's faces lit up like Christmas trees. "also....Jasmine and Laura, Torren and LAMQOD, Asi and Vicky, Henry and Zach, and last but not least...Nathaniel and Kyle" And with that final note he  told them to get to the bus.

The whole class stood, rushing out the door to get to the bus, get all the good seats and enjoy the free use of cellular phones. Marcy and Andge immediately grabbed the back row, Torren and LAMQOD grabbing the dark corner directly behind the driver. Various other seats were filled and soon enough the bus started, lurching forward slowly at first then speeding up. Conversations were slow at first, each student slightly nervous with the apprehension I what the field trip would bring. Finally, someone spoke up.

"I bet I can eat more pixie sticks then you!" Vicky exclaimed excitedly, her brunette hair voicing around as she ate more of that flavored sugar.

"I want some!" Jasmine asked as she leaned over the seats, trying to get her scottish hands on the candy. 

"will you two stop it? If you don't zombies will come and eat your brains, then murder your zombies to feast on for food. First the eyes, then the stomach then the...." Laura said, more to herself than to them but it got the message across.

"lighten up Laura" Asi said as she continued to read her guide on the science lab they were heading too. Meanwhile, in the back rows of the bus Andge and Marcy were excitedly exchanging gossip, and debating which boy was cutest on the bus, but of course they couldn't agree.

Caroline was busy updating her tumblr from her smartphone while steven tried to get close to her, in the bad way. "Steven! Stop it!" she said, looking at him. "I can't stand it!"

"that's the point" he laughed and leaned back, looking out the window. Torren and her friend, LAMQOD weren't talking at all, but we're staring at each other, as if reading each others exact thoughts. However kyle made the mistake of firings spitball at them because when it touched LAMQOD's cheek, she simply turned and smiled creepily at Kyle, while writing down something in her 'death book'. Henry was showing Zach his new hat, pointing out the elaborate designs and such, though it annoyed Zach. The road rolled on by, mile after mile as they went to the lab on the outskirts of town.

As the bus pulled up, a few armed security officers questioned the driver, before actually opening the gate and letting them in. After that the bus drove up the private road, before parking with a screech in front of the grand science lab with pillars designed to look roman. The students aboard clamored and shoved each other in a race to get off the bus first, not that it really mattered. Once they were all off and somewhat organized, and well...not quiet. A guide came out and began with the warnings and such.

"today you have all been gifted with the permission to enter one of the top medical and experimental labs in the country, but there are a few warnings...." The guide went on to tell every warning, and so on, boring the class with his monotone voice. Finally he finished and guided the class through the front doors. But right before the door closed behind the last student an eerie voice said.

"you're all in danger....leave!"

ZACHARY YOU'RE SO LOVELY I'LL LEAVE YOUR BODY AND BRING YOUR SOUL TO HEAVEN.

Please dont. Heaven is loney, besides I like being possessed.

Chapter 2 is 30% complete

I feel like it moved too fast . Slow down , describe each moment better , let it last a little longer

A l r I g h t.
I'll work on it.

Post I was forced at gunpoint to ask: Where do I come in, who am I, and am I evil?

All I can say I jaz needs a bigger part :)

Only kidding, it's good but it seemed a bit patchey jumping from one subject to another

Who says your greatest critic is yourself? It's obviously your sister XD

lol, most of LAMQOD is based on me, I made her up...

I like it, and I'll agree with Jas on the patchy part. But I also have one other issue.... where am I? It's just one of those mistakes people make, but yeah, you missed me out. You may want to edit that before you post any more... Just saying.

Ok. I got all that. Quick question. Who dies first? I want my readers to decide. Pm, post just tell me who. New chapter coming soon. And char? You might have to wait till chapter 3

Not LAMQOD. She is a piece of pure epikness.

Chapter 2:

Nathaniel had heard the eerie voice and had thought it was simply the wind, but was also creeped out now, as he rushed to catch up to Kyle who was touching everything, overstepping the safety lines and once accidentally pushing a missile release button. Stephen kept trying to poke Caroline, calling it 'poke-her' but she just kept moving away, hiding behind several other students as she did, Abby was holding hands with michael, simply talking with each other and ignoring the lecture entirely. Laura, seeing this, rolled her eyes.

"in the name of the blood and gore that I keep under my bed from killing people in there sleep.....GET A DAMN ROOM!" she told them, creeping her partner out and making her jump.

"by the alspark! Laura your scaring me! Calm down!" she said, her scottish accent poking through slightly. In the shadows that were on the side of the hall, Torren mumbled something that no one knew real fear, getting her a strange look from Laura. Torren ignored it though and remained silent, looking to the guide who was shocked at the sudden outburst.

"darn kids...." he muttered, before speaking to the group again as he led them down the long, white, windowless hallway. "The experiment you will observe today is that of a special gas, one that on previous tests would make the test subject nearly invincible. However, this is the first test on a human, do we are using a fresh corpse brought in straight from the morgue" he explained as several students made retching noises. "ah, here we are" he continued, as the thrall opened up to a large room with a window showing the view into the lab. The lab itself was amazing, all state of the art and clean, the attendants wearing surgical gowns and masks. 

"woah...." Henry said in amazement as he looked into the lab with everyone else. The door opened in the lab and the corpse was brought in, then was placed on a metal surgical table and strapped down. 

"come on bro, let's explore the place!" Kyle hissed, pointing towards the door. He really didn't want to watch a corpse being dissected as much as he wanted to explore. I mean how many times was he going to get into a top science lab?

"Kyle....we can't just go......" Stephen began to say, but Kyle was already heading towards the door, talking to Nathaniel, well convincing him to follow. Then after a seconds hesitation he ran after them.

Caroline stood, and watching her partner chase after Kyle she decided to head to the bathroom, but as girls are girls she couldn't just go alone. So she managed to Asi, Vicky, and jasmine to go with her, not her first choice but eh, better than Laura and Abby. As they left the delicate operation began, different monitors and devices placed on the body. The various attendants raced around, ecstatic with the chance the experiment would work. However as it proceeded, it started to get gross, and well....boring. I mean how long would a dead body interest you? Well, Laura preferred fresh bodies, but that's aside the point. Finally Abby spoke up.

"I'm heading out to the bus, I left my uh.....lunch out there" she lied, but she didn't want to stick around to see them cut open the flesh. Marcy and Andge followed her out, wanting to see what they could learn from Abby, and simply what she was actually going to do. So now it was only zach, Henry, Laura, LAMQOD, Torren, and the other half of the class still in the observation room, watching with either horror or awe as the corpse was cut along the chest, the scalpel slicing the cold flesh. The muscles were exposed, empty veins running along them as the surgeons attached a tube to the still heart, before moving towards the head to work there. Zach was disgusted now, not wanting to see what was left of the corpses brain, so he walked out, hoping to find that black haired chick, or one of his siblings. Thats when it all went wrong...

BOOOOOM!!!!!

An explosion suddenly happened in one of the machines in the lab, then another, and another. A canister of the gas broke open, flooding the lab with its deadly fumes. All around the lab, the attendants and the doctors collapsed, coughing while the corpse, yes the corpse sat up and stared at the observation room. Laura smiled to herself as she watched, Henry to her left. 

"zombies are here. Just like I said" she whispered mysteriously, before walking out. Right after she left the pressurized door to the observation deck began to come down, preparing to lock the students still watching the experiment. Henry noticed this and ran towards the door, at the last second sliding like a baseball player under the door. He saw his hat trapped on the other side and with a quick movement snatched it up before the door came down, locking the students in the observation room. 

Now the observation room began to fill with the gas, causing the kids to drop down and cough, cough violently until they were all infected. Henry ran down the hall, slamming his fedora back on his head as he tried to find the others, who knew if they were infected as well? He took a sharp right and ran into someone....Vicky.

"Henry! What's going on! You look like you've seen a ghost!" she said, obviously high on pixie sticks as she jumped around wildly. Caroline, Asi, and jasmine walking up behind the hyper freshman. Henry didn't answer and instead grabbed Asi's arm with one hand and Caroline's arm with the other. 

"the experiment had a malfunction and now we are going to die if we don't get out of here!" Henry said in a rush as he dragged the girl towards the end of the hallway.

"MALFUNCTION?!?! Explain Henry!" jas shouted as she ran with the others towards the end of the hallway. Then she remembered they were two stories off the ground. "wait how are we going to get to the bus?" she asked. They were almost to the end of the dead-end hall, where there was a window. It was then Asi's eyes widened as she realized what Henry's plan was. Henry didn't answer, didn't even slow down as he put his shoulder first and crashed through the window, falling out of the building. He fell ten feet before stopping, splashing into the coy pond and spitting water out as he motioned to the girls to follow his example.

Vicky was first, and she happily jumped out, Henry catching her so she didn't get the rough treatment. Then Jasmine jumped, leaving only Asi and Caroline in the building.

"there is no way I am jumping into a fish pond." Asi told caroline, looking down at the water. A pounding was heard from one of the doors in the hallway and the two girls watched in horror as it burst open, revealing the undead corpse, blood on his lips. 

"NEVERMIND!" Asi and Caroline said as one and both jumped together, knowing that what Henry said was no lie.

Name the two movie references!

Dude.

Still no me!
And one of the movie references was Indiana Jones? with the hat grab.
