<strong>Michelle and Cheryl - In the crowd waiting to be allowed in</strong><br/><br/>"Come on come on... open up you stupid mall."<br/><br/>Cheryl had managed to push her way through the crowd with Michelle holding her hand being pulled along. If it was up to Michelle they'd have waited at the back but not Cheryl. She wanted to have her new clothes and she wasn't going to let anybody get in her way. When she was at the front doors, she gave the security guards inside a poisonous look and tapped her watch as if saying it was time to open.<br/><br/>"Relax Cher, they'll open and you'll get your dress."<br/><br/>No matter what Michelle tried to calm her friend, Cheryl was too fired up to be calmed down.<br/><br/>Then at the back of the crowd, people started to scream. Being at the front, the two friends didn't really know what was going on but just like everybody else around them, they were on guard. The screams were not impatience, but something more primordial. Just when Cheryl was about to scream something at the back of the crowd to behave like adults, she was pushed against the doors by the mass. Michelle panicked a little as people around them started to push back against the doors.<br/><br/>Just as Cheryl was panicking too, the doors opened and the front of the crowd was catapulted inside. Some people fell over and were immediately trampled, Cheryl and Michelle managed to stay on their feet. Still oblivious as to what was going on, Cheryl grabbed Michelle's hand and ran to the shop she wanted, blinded by her dress. Michelle was aware of the panic and asked Cheryl to stop to see what was going on but Cheryl wouldn't stop until she had reached the shop.<br/><br/>The doors were still closed and again Cheryl banged the windows tapping her watch.<br/><br/>Michelle in the meantime was asking people around her what was going on. The answers she got varied from Al Qaeda, the Russians, to zombie attacks and chemical weapons. None of it made sense to Michelle but as the screaming got louder and more panicked, she too began to feel a little weary.<br/><br/>"Cheryl? Maybe we should like... come back later? I don't think they are open yet."<br/><br/>"What? And miss my dress!? No way in hell! What are these people screaming about? Is there some sell out I don't know about?"<br/><br/>Just when Michelle wanted to answer what she had heard, she saw the first bloodstained people running past and the sound of.. what was that sound? Gurgling? Choking?<br/><br/>"Oi! Open this door! I know Jamy! She works here!"<br/><br/>Cheryl had now too resorted to panic and was banging the window calling for her friend to open the doors of the shop. Seconds later she was joined by Michelle.
