Death's Little Angels by Sylver Belle Garcia

window where Royal stood. Royal jumped back
quickly and continued to laugh. A sinister look crept upon Kaleb’s
face as he chanted Fight or die! Fight or
die! Fight or die! He raised his stick and
pointed it towards the window where the Eaters moved in closer.
    Drew narrowed his eyes and placed his finger
on the window pane and pointed at Royal. “You will pay for this. I
promise!”
    “ Not before you do!” Royal
sneered.
    But getting revenge on Royal was the least
of Drew’s worries. The screaming sounds from Cookie erupted as
Steven Blane pulled her hair taking her down with him.

Chapter 7
     
    There goes the boy running down the
street
    Here comes the zombies time to EAT, EAT,
EAT!
     
     
     
    “ Agh!! He got my hair!”
Cookie yelled as she kicked and hollered.
    Steven’s mouth opened wide
as he gnashed his teeth and clamped down onto Cookie’s head. Drew
could smell the undead from a distance away. The Eater’s mouth reeked of
foul and putrid odors. Drew could not decipher if the Eater’s smell was like
rotten meat or spoiled fish. Either way, the aroma was unbearable
and suffocating.
    Mater reached back and
swung her Sock-a-bat with all of her strength into the Eater’s head. The school
made weapon landed with a crashing crack on the side of Steven’s
noggin. His non-human body had no balance and he quickly fell over
onto the pavement cracking open his skull. A dark brownish pink
substance accompanied by thick gooey blood leaked from the slit in
Steven’s head.
    Cookie jumped up quickly with the assistance
of Tarynn and Mater. She frantically searched her body.
    “ Did it get you?” Mater
asked as she hurriedly body searched Cookie.
    “ Nah, just a- a- few
tracks. He pulled out some of my weave. I-I- I’m good,” Cookie
hastily said as she ran her shaking fingers through the rest of her
hair.
    More Eaters closed in on the group. Drew
quickly called for everyone to gather in the formation that they
were once in before leaving the classroom. The students in the
cafeteria led by Royal cheered the Eaters on in a chant, Fight or die! Fight or die! Fight or
die!
    “ Everybody hold together
and follow my lead,” Drew directed.
    Drew swung his knife rapidly at the wildly
flailing arms that grabbed aimlessly for their bodies.
    “ Go for the head!” Mater
yelled as she continued swinging her Sock-a-bat at the Eaters who continuously made their way towards
them.
    Billy and Beetle continued
stabbing away at the bloody severed hands while Sue Ellen and Mater
swung their socks filled with paper weights at the Eater’s head. The moans
became louder as the group of undead students continued their
attack on the living.
    “ I don’t think we can hold
them any longer!” Drew panicked as he stabbed an Eater in the
forehead.
    More Eaters closed in on the group as
they slowly backed up towards the cafeteria and was pinned against
the glass. They never gave up and continued swinging Sock-a-bats
and scissors. Drew glanced back at the onlookers in the cafeteria.
Their chanting had stopped as they all looked on in sheer terror at
what was going on outside.
    All of a sudden, the sound
of loud pops was heard coming from outside of the current zombie
attack. Eaters began following one by one to the ground by an unseen force.
Drew went to stab the last undead student but it was dropped by a
thick rock to the forehead. Drew scanned the area quickly to notice
a group of three students accompanied by the seventh grade history
teacher, Mr. Freeman, make their way quickly towards him and the
others. A sling shot made of several rubber bands dangled freely in
the teacher’s hand.
    Drew looked up to the heavens. “Thank you….”
He quietly muttered out of what breath he had left. Everyone looked
relieved to see a new set of survivors.
    “ Glad we got to you guys
in time. I am out of rocks. How long were you guys out here son?”
Mr. Freeman directed towards Drew.
    “ Not long Mr. Freeman but
it felt like hours. If you
