Zombie Elementary Kaelor's Perspective (2 page)

Leeyanah looked
, and said uncertainly, “Wait, don’t hit the zombies, maybe we could make friends?”

Edmund gave her a confused and disgusted look.  “Are you serious?”
Edmund paused, then he continued with

“How could we make friends with the dead?  Have you not seen the movies or read up about zombies?  They don’t want to talk, they want your brain!”

Leeyanah frowned, and put her wrist to her mouth and whispered something.  It sounded like she said “No mercy.”
I think she has lost her mind, talking to herself like that. 

Aoi and
Hana-yon were standing beside her.  They gave her a disgusted look and walked over to where we were standing.

Edmund looked out of the window in the classroom door, and there was a zombie in front of it, looking right back at him.  He tightened his grasp on the stick, let go of my hand, and grasped the yardstick with his other hand. 

I turned to take a look at everyone else. 
Hana-yon, Aoi, Kaelinda, and Paige did the same as Edmund. 

After quickly observing them, I did the same.

Edmund looked at us, with his hand on the door and he said, “So I guess we’re the resistance.  Hana-yon, Aoi, Kaelinda, Paige, Kaelor, you ready?” 

Hana-yon
and I nodded.

Kaelinda, Paige and Aoi said “Yea!”

Edmund nodded and twisted the door handle slowly. When he finished, he pushed the door open with a light force.  Or, at least that’s what it looked like.

Hana-yon
, Kaelinda, Aoi and Paige pushed past me.

Hana-yon grabbed me as she ran out and said “C’mon Kaelor, we need you.  Plus, I don’t think you want to be a walking corpse.”

I followed behind her, grasping my yardstick with both hands.
When I dashed out, I saw a hallway filled with zombies, and People that were still alive, being bitten and others fighting for their lives.

A zombie heard my hyperventila
ting and turned toward me.  I saw It, stopped my hyperventilating, closed my eyes, swung my yardstick and got the zombie in the head

with the yard stick.  When I opened my eyes, it was lying on the ground.

Then others were facing me.  I closed my eyes again and swiped horizontally.  When I opened my eyes
, a zombie was in my face along with another, ready to bite.  I freaked, and crouched down with my yardstick in one hand, then
swiped!
I heard a cracking , swiping sound.

It was Aoi.  W
hen I opened my eyes, she was in front of me, fighting like a pro.  Swiping, cracking sounds one millisecond after another.

I observed her fighting style.  She moved as if she was a samurai. She hit the zombies gracefully and fiercely.  She turned her head around and said “Oh, well don’t just sit there, fight!” 

I stood up, my legs wobbly.  I stood beside her and tried to duplicate her fighting style.  I was pretty good, especially  since I’m a visual learner.  Then I saw a girl pass us, along with a group of peopl
e swinging a thick metal stick.  I think I know what it was. I think it was a,…a,…. a desk leg?? 

Why a desk leg?  It’s short and inconvenient.

Suddenly, I heard Edmund say “Hana-yon, Kaelinda cover me!” He then came over to us, and swung at the zombies.  He swung at the ones that were surrounding us.  Hana-yon and Kaelinda were right behind him swinging with lots of confidence and strength, while Paige was moving like a ninja, swinging and hitting the leftover zombies forcefully.

Aoi and I moved from our corner and helped Paige while
Hana-yon, Edmund, and

Kaelinda fought the zombies on the other side of us.  After ten minutes, the hallway was filled with the zombie bodies, and a foul dead smell. 

Edmund looked at us and said, “So what now, Kaelor?”

I looked at him confused and said “Me, I’m not the leader Edmund.  You should be. You did so well.”

Edmund, in protest said “No, you should lead.  Am I right you guys?”

I looked around.  Hana-yon, Kaelinda, Paige, and Aoi were all nodding.  Aoi said “You should Kaelor, you’re pretty smart ya know, since you have straight A’s and all.”

I nodded and replied “Okay, well just listen to my plan you guys.”

They all nodded.

I looked at them uncertain,
and said, “Look you guys, everyone in our class is still in the classroom.  I think that we should find a room with supplies, leave the

elementary school, and go explore the middle school.” 

The middle school was just behind the elementary school.  It would be a quick run over there.  Maybe there are some survivors over there that could help us.

Everyone nodded.  “Where to first captain?” said Edmund.

I thought for a second and said “To the art room.”

Aoi replied “Lead the way, captain.”

I stood in front and started running with my yardstick clasped in my hand with my friends following behind.

We ran down the hallway. When we exited the fifth grade hallway, we ran into the fourth grade hallway.  The stairwell just a distance away,  was filled with zombies.  I turned my yardstick horizontally in my hand and ran through the hallway.  I angled it so that it was hitting their heads.  So now, I was holding it vertically.  I saw a group of fourth graders using rulers and desk legs as

defense
. The group consisted of two boys and two girls.

Aoi sped up to me as we ran.  She said “Kae, shouldn’t we help them.  I mean, they are kids.”

I looked at her and said “Yea, but the fourth graders really annoy me. They are so rude. Well, at least some of them.”

I stopped and Swiped the zombie that blocked my way.

Everyone else stopped.  I turned around and said “Pause mission really quick, save those kids.”

Everyone nodded and turned around and swiped the zombies in the way behind us.

Could it be they were following
us? They couldn’t possibly be following us, could they?  Zombies can’t see.  I whacked myself in the head and thought they could have been following the sound of our footsteps. 

I ran to the zombies surrounding the fourth graders.  I lifted the yardstick in the air and jumped as I swung it down at the zombie’s heads.

Paige, who was beside me, was swinging her yardstick at the zombie
s’ heads one after another.

Kaelinda, while holding her yardstick in the air with her hands above her head, was doing ballerina spins.

“Oh man!” is what I heard Edmund say. 

I looked at him.  He was punching zombies.  Why?  I looked to the ground around him.  His yardstick was split in half.  I looked at my yardstick.  Crud, it wasn’t going to hold for much longer either.  It had split a little and felt a little weak.  I looked towards Aoi.  She wasn’t using a yardstick anymore.  She was using a metal staff.  She was fighting in that samurai style again.  I looked at Hana-yon.  Hana-yon was using her yardstick and was swinging at their heads.  I looked back to what I was doing.  At this point, I was hitting nothing.  I turned

to go help Aoi.  From the looks of it, she didn’t need it but I helped anyway.

Soon
, the zombies weren’t surrounding the fourth graders, and I was able to reach them.  We were around them, but now the zombies were surrounding us. 

Edmund, Aoi, Paige, and Kaelinda were fighting them off, while
Hana-yon and I were helping the fourth graders.

“What are your names, and is everyone okay?” 
Hana-yon asked.

A tall girl with short blonde hair, green eyes, and fair
skin , said “Oh, my name is Mari and I’m the leader.”  She pointed to a girl with long black hair, caramel skin, short, blue eyes, and a very cute face, and said “This is Lequisha.” 

After that a short boy with black semi long hair, fair skin, and brown narrow eyes said “My name is Kohaku.” 

Then, the other boy who was tall, with blonde, semi long hair, fair skin, and blue eyes said “My name is Blake.”

  Everyone is okay! Thanks for saving us!” Mari yelled in an annoying voice. 

I looked at her
, a little ticked off and said “Stop, don’t yell! You will attract more zombies that way.”

Mari frowned at me.

Wait a second, I know that frown, and I know her face! Mari is Leeyanah’s little cousin! “Do you guys want to come with us, or do you want to venture out by yourselves?”  Hana-yon asked them kindly.

“No, we’ll go with you guys. It might be fun!” Mari said in an annoying voice ending it with a yell.

“Stop yelling”  I said to Mari with a frown.

“Ok!” Mari said in a deep voice.

I sighed and said “So if you guys are coming with us, why don’t  you help us fight them off?”

“Why?” Blake said with a puppy dog face.

“Well, because we were on a mission and you’re lucky, that my friend Aoi, stopped and coaxed me into saving you guys!” I said in a playful voice.

They all groaned and said “Fine!”

Oh my gosh, they are some lazy people! I thought to myself.

We all turned around and came through the circle of friends together.

Aoi was fighting in that samurai style again (Of course she was).

Edmund was still fighting with his fists.  I’m surprised he wasn’t bitten yet.  I felt bad, so I split my yardstick in half.  “Edmund, catch!”   I shouted.

He turned to look.  When he saw the yardstick half thrown at him he held out his hand to grab it. 

Paige was fighting in that ninja style again.  It took a while, but soon we were finished fighting the zombies.

“Team, lets continue the mission!”  I said enthusiastically while making a time in sign. 

We began to jog down the hall.  The stairwell was only a couple feet away.  I turned my head.  The light purple walls now covered with a disturbing dark red color.. I looked down.            

The white porcelain floor tiles were also now covered in that disturbing color, and zombie bodies.

This is a scene where anyone with a weak stomach would vomit.

I realized I was stepping on one.  Oh well, it didn’t feel like it.
BAM
! I ran into the wall.  It hurt like nothing I ever felt before. I backed off the wall and rubbed my head. “Mama mia! Why do I always hurt myself”  I said while smirking, not believing that I just ran into the wall.

I heard someone snicker.  I turned around and began to laugh too.

Then, I was accompanied by everyone else’s laughter.  We laughed for what seemed like forever until Aoi decided to be a kill joy, and told us to be quiet. 

We all silenced at her command.  Then we heard deep moaning sounds, dead moaning sounds.  It was coming from down the stairwell.

“Okay, everyone lets…” I began saying until I was interrupted by Mari.

“Who decided you were leader?”  Mari said in a disrespectful voice. 

“Well, little girl, we took a vote before we headed down the fourth grade hallway
, and I was voted leader.  Thank you very much” I snapped.  I could already tell, Mari and I started on the wrong foot, and would
not
get along.

“Well, little miss bossman, why don’t we cast a new vote?
After all, your team consists of five new people, a total of ten people, so a vote should be appropriate”  Mari said with a bossy tone.

I kissed my teeth and replied “Oh my goodness, chromosome Glitch, please!  I’m not a man first of all.  Second, I am certainly
NOT
a
LITTLE
miss, and that vote thing was a good idea.”  She gave me an angry glare.

“Ok!” Aoi cut in. “So raise your hands for who wants me as leader, and no voting twice!” she said.

I rose my hand along with Hana-yon and Paige. “Ok, so who wants Mari as leader?” she said.

Kohaku raised his hand.

Aoi nodded.
“Who wants Kaelor as leader?”
