I realized that this place was once a kindergarten. He kept checking for possible threats at every two foot steps. There were corpses of all age groups littering the place and I felt like we weren't the only ones there. That feeling was proven right when Hayden opened the janitor's closet. I saw a man with pathetic monster make-up ran out he made a funny gargle sound before he started to drool pus. I wanted to vomit but the moment he saw me he ran away like I was the real monster. Hayden shot him in the knees. I saw him shoot the man and I screamed. He turned to me and asked me if I had not seen one of these things. He explained how to identify a zombie from a fake one. I really thought that these things were a made up story. I mean people have been telling me but sincerely I had not seen one first hand so I thought these things were a myth. He gave me a dirty look before he dragged me towards it.
He took me up close to show me what a zombie looked like. The thing kept dragging it's feet but couldn't say anything. It was completely mute with fear. He was so horrified to be near me that he was overtaken with fear. The closer I got the harder it tried to get away. Hayden noticed this and he grabbed my hand. He placed it on his leg and the man screamed like I had set him on blazing fire. Hayden smiled with satisfaction. I watched as he tried to get away from me. But the moment he saw Hayden he forgot his fear and tried to bite him. I punched him the face. Hayden waited till my hand was away from him before he shot the thing in his head. I realized that I had seen my first zombie.
I blurted it out and Hayden sarcastically congratulated me as he walked to search for a decent vantage point to find a way rescue his kidnapped friend. I sat down to stare at the muncher's dead body. I was contemplating if this was a setup of some sort or maybe the real deal when I thought I saw someone walking quickly and quietly. I wanted to find out who it was. I extended my senses as a precaution and realized that it was a trap. So I tried to figure out why Hayden's sudden need for my help. It turns out he bought me away from the city limits so that he understand my abilities. The military followed Hayden so they can capture me. I wished very much to be invisible. I wished it so hard that I saw myself disappear from the small shard of a mirror. The frame still had positive affirmations stuck to it. I am guessing there was a camera nearby because I heard someone say, "Get her before she vanishes." So I wished for vanishing process to hurry up. I guess my body understood me because I became completely invisible before I managed to blink twice and I quickly snuck out before the men was able to surround the building.
I knew that staying here is a bad idea so I looked for a safe way out. There was a huge wall standing between me and freedom so I tried to squint and saw the other side. I saw Hayden's bike and I knew that if I can climb the wall I can bolt out of here safely back to the others. I walked very slowly and held my breath as I walked past men and women in uniform. I got out of their way as they tried to feel their way around to catch me. I got out of the corridor and out the main steps. I got to the open area that stands between me and the gate. I knew it wasn't going to be as easy as it looks. I saw a hole in the wall not far from where I was so I took a leap of faith and walked past a few anxious trigger happy men and huddled behind an armored canary yellow hummer topped with a machine gun. I stayed there for a moment before I moved very slowly.
Behind me people were opening lockers to try and searching classrooms to catch me. I casually left the school grounds and walked through the hole in the wall and got to safety. I saw that Hayden was questioned repeatedly and he honestly told them that he had no clue. When they turned their backs he gave them the slip. I felt like I couldn't trust Hayden so I head home. I recalled the path that Hayden took to come here. I took a deep breath and ran as fast as I could. I reached home sweet home and wished hard that I would be visible again.
I was almost near the mansion when it started to rain heavily. I knocked on the security booth and the guy inside was watching a football game. He lazily pressed a button. I looked at the camera and immediately there was a buzzing sound. The guy in the booth jumped and answered it. He looked at me afraid and he gave me a salute as he opened the gates for me. I ran indoors as it started to pour cats and dogs. The maid was waiting for me with a towel while half of my security were present. I inquired about the other half and was told that they were taken as hostages in exchange for me. I called the president and explained the problem. He promised to handle the situation. True to his words he came with the other half of my security an hour later. The others insisted that I get myself cleaned up but I remained till the others arrived.
The president apologized for the terrorist act that the military had committed. He had the people responsible brought over for punishment. Along with them came a very severely injured Jasper. The moment I saw him I was overtaken with intense pain and anger. So I screamed to make them feel an ounce of pain that I was feeling. I expect them to back away in fear. Instead the soldiers fell to the floor and started to have painful seizures. I kept screaming till one of them started to bleed from the ears. I decided that they had enough for one day and took Jasper to the clinic. He was slipping in and out of consciousness. He was unconscious the entire time they healed him. When they said he was out of danger I walked out of the room and started to cry. When I was calm enough I went to my room to get cleaned up.
When I came out the president was waiting for me. He apologized for the uncivilized behavior that his soldiers had done. He and I were talking when Jasper came in. He gave me a small smile. I gave him a full smile. He gave me a nod before he took his position. The president promised to find every facility that does this kind of heinous practice and destroy it. I wished him well and he left to deal with the problems of the nation. I sat down with a cup of hot chocolate.
