Was it safe to come out now…?<br/><br/>Saki slowly opened the bathroom door, poking her head out, looking for any sign of Yoshida-sensei, or anyone else for that matter… In fact, the hallway was eerie calm. Her finger slid over to her iPod’s touch screen, getting ready to change songs, but before she could do so, the intercom clicked on, a panicked voice blaring into the speakers.<br/><br/>What was she saying? A violent struggle… on the premises? The blue-haired girl sighed, removing the headphones from her ears, wrinkling her nose as she strained to hear what was going on. The hallways were probably the worst place to listen to the announcement… However, even the<em>deaf</em>would probably be able to hear the pained screams and tormented cries that cried out over the speakers not too long after. Their cries almost painted a picture before Saki’s sapphire blue eyes. It was easy to know, right then, that they were all screwed.<br/><br/>Just like that, students came pouring out of the hallways, and Saki could instantly tell that whatever had happened over the announcements was serious business. Wrinkling her brow, the seventeen year old sprinted down the hall, her long, athletic limbs giving her the push she needed to leap and bolt out of everyone’s way, nimbly making her way out of the school, pushing the doors open…<br/><br/>She was outside, near the batting machines, judging from the gentle whirrs that stirred from the batting cages, the faint smell of machinery creaking through the air. However, just because she was outside, that didn’t mean she was free from whatever menace was attacking the school. Monsters, their minds blank, bodies grotesque… and they were everywhere, even near the batting cages!<br/><br/>They closed in on her, moaning and uttering eccentricities under their breath. Sakiko backed up slowly, her hands in the air, as if to surrender, before, in a swift moving, kicking them in the stomach, then executing an upper kick to their heads, knocking them off. Saki could feel her heart pounding in her chest, suppressing an urge to scream.<br/><br/>“Someone… anyone?” she called out, raising her voice, hoping that someone, a human, was near.<br/><br/>She had to find someone… there was no way she was trekking through a zombie breakout on her own!
