"RISE AND SHINE!!" Leo yelled loudly.

"Yo man shut the hell up! You might attract infected." Aries rubbed his eyes, Virgo was still asleep and leaning on him, making him blush.

"Psh, of course I would attract them I'm gorgeous! Isn't the point of being put out here to kill them? So far Taurus is the only one who has killed one of them." He raised his eyebrows.

"Unlike you, some of us are trying to survive. I don't care about that damn prize anymore I just want to live." Aries glared at him. He looked at Virgo and gently shook her awake. "Huh what happened? Are we dead yet?" She mumbled while staring around in confusion.

"Nope we are all still alive and breathing." Aries smiled and ruffled her hair. Virgo laughed and fixed her hair, her perfectionist side came out for things like this.

Cap and Gemini came out from under the blanket and yawned simultaneously. "Man, I'm starving." He rubbed his stomach. Gemini leaned into Cap and whispered in his ear. "I had a great time last night, it felt amazing." She smirked. "Me too, the only hard part was to keep myself from moaning." He rubbed his neck. Gemini snickered.

"What are you two lovebirds talking about?" Leo devilishly smiled. He looked at Pisces, who was still curled up in a ball, she looked cute. Leo cleared his throat and tried not to blush and think about what he could do with her.

Taurus sat up yawning with his beautiful Aquarius still nuzzled beside him. "I'm so damn hungry!" He made a grumpy face. "Aqua you have to wake up." He nudged her. She opened her eyes and they immediately caught the sunlight, making her chocolate brown eyes looked more of a honey color.

"Taurus?" The light pouring down on her made her look almost angelic. She sat up and stretched, the bottom of her shirt rising up and revealing her smooth and tan stomach. Taurus tried extremely hard not to stare.

Pisces was awake now and had a blush plastered on her face, she remembered what Leo did to her last night. They kissed, hard. The kissed until her mouth hurt and she had a layer of sweat on her skin. Leo sat next to her. "So how did you sleep?" The corner of his mouth curved into a smile. "Fine." She said abruptly without too much thinking.

Aqua still had a sleepy look on her face. It almost looked like she was high on something. She stared off into space and said nothing. "We have 4 packets of chips left and 3 bottles of Gatorade." Virgo counted. "Well then." Aries grabbed a packet and opened it. "Let's share." He finished and popped a chip in his mouth.

Everyone shared the food and drinks. "Here Taurus, you can have the rest." She handed him the chips. "But you barely ate anything." He pushed it back to her. "I'm fine." The truth is she wasn't, at all. This school was the school she went to as a kid, she couldn't recognize it at night but when she looked at now, it jogged some sad memories.

"You are eating whether you like it or not!" Taurus said stubbornly. He grabbed a chips, tilted Aqua's head up, and plopped it in her mouth. She made a pouty face but knew if she didn't eat now she would have problems later.

After finishing their meal and drinks, Virgo heard faint low moaning. She looked at everyone else who were happily chatting away. She stood up and peeked out the window. The hairs on the nape of her neck stood up. "Shit." She whispered.

There were at least three hundred infected standing outside, surrounding the building. They all stood still and moaned, they knew something was inside. "G-guys you need to see this." Virgo stuttered. Aries was the first one over. "Bloody hell." He said in a low voice.

Leo looked through the window. "Fuck, I guess I'm too hot. Oh and we are screwed." He put a hand on the window. Everyone else came over and cursed. "How the hell are we going to get out?" Aries pounded the window. "We fight." Leo stood proudly. "Of course you would fucking say that." Aries sighed. They unbarricaded the door and walked down the two flights of stairs, the exit was right in front of them, with ravenous infected on the other side.

Everyone took out their weapons. "Ok guys I have a plan." Cap announced. "We will not fight all them, just enough to create a straight path out of the hoard, understood?" "But what if we get grabbed?" Pisces trembled. "Well you die, keep them off the path we make long enough for all of us to get through. Long ranged weapons on the back, melee in the front." He arranged the order.

Aqua, Taurus, Gemini were placed in the very front of the formation the next row was Cap and Virgo, since they didn't have any damaging weapons, and finally, Aries, Leo, and Pisces were placed in the back.

"Ready?" Cap shouted. "READY!" Everyone replied. Taurus and Aqua opened the doors and the onslaught began.

The first wave of infected were ruthless, these were the people who have been infected the longest. They were tall and unnaturally muscular. "Aim for the heads!" Cap yelled from behind, he was busy crafting something. Taurus whirled his sharpened machete and sliced one of their heads clean off, it slumped to the ground, green blood oozing out.

Aqua pressed a button on her staff, long spikes extended from every side. "How?" Taurus said while finishing of another. "I found some hidden things about this pole."

Aquarius impaled the head of one, it moaned in pain, she yanked powerfully and the sound of flesh ripping was imprinted into her mind.

Gemini launched powerful and controlled punches to the infected's face. The spikes stabbed through its skull and crumpled to the ground. Slowly but surely the began moving forward.

A large hand forcefully began to come down onto Aqua and Taurus was too busy slicing the heads of of others. She was too late to block. BANG, a loud noise reverberated through the air. The hand stopped in front of her face and the body tilted and fell to its side, a gaping hole in his head, released green blood. Aries was concentrating so hard it hurt his head.

Leo was firing rounds of bullets from his duel pistols, recklessly. "Hey, slow down you might run out of bullets." Aries warned. Leo nodded and returned firing, a bit more slower this time, covering the melee attackers from unseen hits the infected may make behind there backs. Pisces was both melee and long range with her throwing knives but we're better at throwing rather than stabbing.

She threw a knife with a slight turn of her wrist. It curved around the people in front and made a direct hit with a large infected that almost bit down on Gemini. "Bullseye." She whispered. They were almost out. The sides were beginning to close in as mutated hands reached out to grab anything that looked good to eat. "We need people to keep the sides open!" Cap yelled. "I'm on it!" Taurus yelled in reply. "Me to!" Gemini shouted.

The both carved up more infected more to the side, keeping the path as open as they could. Aqua was left alone to continue building the path. She pressed another button and the staff transformed into a long sword, similar to Scorpio's. With a long swipe across, aimed for the head the sword took down at least five infected in one shot. "Damn, this thing is good." She continued her assault and her kill count began to rise uncontrollably.

More infected grew as to the response of this powerful women. They knew they could overpower Aqua by sheer numbers, they started closing in on her, her sword mowing them down as fast as she could. Her muscles burned every time she swung the sword, her breaths came in pants, she was exhausted. She lifted the sword once more but it didn't come up, her arms felt melted. The infected took this opening and closed in on her. "I'm so fucking dead!" She yelled.

A small object flew over her head and landed a few feet in front of her. "DUCK!" Cap yelled at her. She obeyed and crouched down with her sword on hand. A loud boom and a cloud of smoke billowed over her, making her cough and gag. At least 50 infected lay dead in from of her, a large hole appearing. They were almost out. They opening gave them their chance. "RUN, THERE IS AN OPENING!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.
