English assignment in class para: The Infected

The school was in chaos. Blood was smeared against the lockers of the hallway, with mutilated bodies lying everywhere. Our class barricaded the door with desks and chairs, hoping that the infected wouldn't get to us but night was approaching us and that gave us the more reason to stay on guard.

A couple weeks ago we were invaded by an alien life-force. They exposed humans to a new virus that had deadly symptoms. I remembered when there was a live broadcast of the aliens saying, "The virus is to make you more like us. The final step for perfection." They were hideous beasts who's main objective was to control and kill.
We weren't sure when the virus would break out but gradually many began to fall under the effects of the virus, becoming brain-dead killing machines.

 Our class seemed to be the only surviving people of the school, or even the entire city. The only thing on our minds was survival.

A snarl came from the other side of the door and the bolts began to loosen. More of the infected were breaking though our doors.
I screamed, "We need to get out of here! It won't hold for long" .
 Santiago quickly looked out the window seeing if there was any infected nearby.
"If we quickly make a run for it, we might be able to make it through without getting killed."
"But what if they are there. We are defintely going to die if we run out there!" exclaimed Tom
Santiago glared "Its either that or we wait here like sitting ducks. At least outside we have somewhere to escape!"
We all looked at each other uneasily and agreed.

At the darkest hour of our lives, we ran as fast and far as we could. Not knowing where to go, but only looking for a place to hide. I could barely sleep that night, wondering if my family was still alive. It was a restless night for everyone.

The sun's rays shined through the window. I woke up, eyes and cheeks swollen from crying last night.
We were staying at a abandoned house that was empty before the aliens came. It was the only place that had no trace of the infected.

The class gathered in the living room. Athena was the first to break the dead silence.
"The best thing to do right now, is to stick together. There is more safety in numbers."
Mason was the next one to speak up, "We should also get some equipment like weapons and food."
I nodded and suggested, "Let's split up into three groups. The first group will gather food and supplies. The second will search for survivors and weaponry and the third group will stay here to keep watch. This house is now our home base."

Everyone murmured in agreement. We decided that Tommy, Santiago, Winston, Tom and Tony would look for survivors and weaponry. Tom, Mason, Daniel, Athena, Hana and I went to search for food and supplies. The rest wanted to stay in the house.


I didn't know how long this fight for survival would last but what I knew was that the time for the end of the world has come. There would be nothing to stop it.
