Introduction
The year is 2020.
On November 19th, the terrorists send their final message to the government, telling them that they have one hour until they release the toxic gas all over the country. At noon of that day, over 300 jets fly over the United States, each carrying 10, barrel shaped, capsules of the dangerous chemical. The terrorists haven't told them how dangerous the gas is, or what it does, but once the capsule hits the ground, it releases a foul smelling odor, and a bright green smoke. It spreads over a large mass of land in less than five minutes, and seems to be killing anyone over 20 years of age. Few people older than 20 are alive, hiding underground after hearing the horrible news in small bomb shelters.
In a matter of minutes, the fumes kill anyone with a developed enough circulatory system. The fumes enter the people's mouths and noses and make their way into the circulatory system and enter the heart. Once the heart is introduced the gas, the heart stops immediately, and kills the person.
All buildings have been put into lockdown. All doors locked, all windows shut, and no way in or out. The story takes place in South Ridge High School, where about 600 kids attend High School. As the students realize the terror of the bombs, and the fact that some will die in 6 years at the most. How will the students react to having a school to themselves, no adults, no rules, and a limited amount of supplies, like food and medicine. Will they try to appoint a leader, form in to groups and every man for themselves, or slowly kill each other one by one...

He listened as Cody said for everyone to meet in the cafeteria. He debated on whether he should go, but decided against it. He assumed C.J. would go, but he didn't too much care to be in a room full of people, half of which could be infected with the virus. He suddenly realized that he needed to call his older brother and the rest of his family. Once he found C.J., he would find a way out of here and to their family. He prayed to god that his parents were alive the most because they were the most likely to be dead.
Landon finally made it to his locker on the third floor, and quickly opened it, finding yet another desolate hallway besides the few dead bodies, that he chose to ignore. He opened it up and then took out his wallet and shoved it in his back pocket. He also took his keys. Then he took out his phone and dialed his older brother. No signal. Of course there wasn't a signal. Isn't that how it always works? After about five minutes, he began to hear footsteps coming up the stairs. He reached for the gun by instinct but then remembered he was in a school. These students didn't want to hurt him, hopefully.
Suddenly there was a huge crowd coming through, all looking around and walking into rooms. What the hell was going on? "CJ!" he yelled into the crowd that was about to trample him. "CJ, you there?!" He got no response and began to push through the crowd in the opposite direction to go downstairs. Whatever Cody had told them to do, he didn't really plan on joining them unless it was a way to escape.

But being so quiet before the outbreak of the virus happened she knew tiny bits of info about people. C.J was his brother, "You got a whole crowd of kids in there going to god knows where... But let it settle down and then look." She turned to Eli and then back to him smiling softly looking down at her feet letting her eyebrows furrow. Getting a headache for trying to sober up quickly, "I'll help you look if you need it.. till then we got joints and alcohol for now" She took his hand and sat him down in the teachers big leather chair. "Just relax ok?"

Jake ignored the call for body movers and rummaged through the fridge. "Anybody want to cook?" he asked, grinning and holding up some cold hotdogs. He figured it could be kind of like camping out.... Just minus a tent and with six hundred other people.

"I'm going to go check out the Nurses Office. If you want to come with, be my guest." and with that, Cody went off. He walked back into the Main Office, and was more prepared, this time.Β
Entering with a friend's flashlight on, Cody walked through the Office, this time with relative ease. Knowing that since most of the classroom lights were off, and the Hallway lights were on only due to the generator, he would need lots of flashlights. Or even better, power. One of the dying adults must have hit the circuit breakers, located behind the school. He would need someone to go back there, sometime tomorrow.Β
Moving into the Nurses Office, he found exactly what he expected: lots of emergency kits, laying around, one in the hands of the late nurse, who was laying on the floor.Β
Grabbing as many as he could hold, he placed them behind him, hoping that someone had followed him and would help him out. Suddenly, he found a closet. Full of fleece blankets. They seemed to be about 6 feet by 8. Perfect for two people. He Turned from the blankets. There were at least 20, and Cody was going to need a lot of help passing these out orderly.Β

CJ wanted to find his brother, Landon, but had no luck with this huge crowd. He took out his phone earlier and had texted him, but Landon still hadn't answered. He knew fully well that Landon wasn't in this crowd, however. Landon wasn't a person to follow. He liked to do his own thing, even if the other choice was far better. Landon was probably on the roof right now and climbing down the walls to find their family. It made him chuckle a bit, but it was also a serious thought, to be honest.

Landon was pulled away by a hand and into a seperate room. Before he could assess what was happening, he had already been dragged into the room and into a chair. He turned to see it was Demi and Eli. He had barely talked to either of them before, but they had classes together. "Girls, I need to go," he said. They held out a bottle of alcohol to him, but he rejected it. "I need to figure out what's going on. We can't just sit here and do nothing until they free us, if they free us. I mean, I think all the adults are probably dead now." He shook his head and stood up. "I'm going down to the cafeteria and finding some food, and you two can come if you want," he lamely offered. He just wanted to figure out what was happening, and everyone here seemed to just think this was a joke and they were having a lock in or something.

Raven sat quietly at her desk as things began to unfold. The adults on TV were dying left and right. They were dropping like flies. As if the souls were being sucked from their corpses by some invisible vaccum. She was awed at first. To think a simple gas could do this. Then the real concept of what was happening hit her. All the teachers left to investigate and it seemed to Raven that only adults were dying since students were still unaffected. This meant.. they were on their own. It scared her at first. What were they going to do without guidance. She even began to shake. Then it hit her. She didn't care. Sure she loved her parents and teachers as much as the next girl, but that didn't mean she wanted to be pushed past her limits any more. The only down side is all the bullies were going to pick on her again. The little "emo" girl. What the hell was "emo" anyway? Certainly she didn't cut herself though she had the tools to do it hidden in her converse boot.Okay, so she had mixed feelings about the whole situation. She looked around the classroom quickly before slipping out of the room and into the hall.
Once there she noticed the hallway lights seemed to be dimmer than before. Lightbulb must be out.. She thought. It didn't take her long to find her hang out spot. It was on top of the lockers in one of the least used hallways. A couple kids passed by her and she watched them go. She didn't have many friends. She couldn't exantly figure out why. She wasn't ugly. She wasn't stupid. She wasn't scary. She wasn't mean. So why was she so lonely? She stuck her head phones into her ears and blasted music from her favorite band. My Chemical Romance. The first song that played her favorite: Teenagers. Maybe today was her day. Maybe the bullies would be too scared to pick on her. Maybe she'd make a new friend. Maybe she'd find a new hang out spot. Today was the Daughter of Darkness's day. Her stomach growled angrily. So much so she couldn't figure out if she was feeling sick or hungry. She was hoping it was the latter more so than the former so she decided to climb down and head for the cafeteria. Pushing the voiced that threatened to bother her. Oh no you dont, she thought, You're not ruining this day for me.

Jessica took the hot dogs out of Jake's hands and smiled, "Sort of like a cook out... erm... inside..." She felt weird after saying that, Seriously?! A cook out... inside?! She almost smashed her head against the table until she noticed people were watching her cook the dinner, "Heh heh..." She quickly unwrapped the hot dogs and turned on the burner. To her surprise it worked! There was already a pan sitting on it so that part was done. After the pan was heated up, she put the hot dogs in but to her surprise one hot dog bounced out and hit the floor. It bounced one more time but then slid towards the trash can. Jessica smirked, "Uhh I don't know what just happened... but I do know that out school doesn't use quality meat." She couldn't help but laugh loudly. She felt stupid... again. When she finished frying the hot dogs she put them all in buns and handed them out to the people around her.

She fallowed Eli and Landon staying quiet as she kept on taking drags of her joint. She couldn't help but notice his behind. Fitted nice and tight in those jeans. It must of been her high and the grief that just put her in a place for wanting him. She fallowed behind them so she kept her eyes glued there. She checked out the rest of his body without a word.

"I'm looking for my younger brother, CJ," he said quickly and then turning around, heading down the stairs that would lead straight to the cafeteria. "Either of you know him? Or where he is?" He didn't really expect an answer that would suffice, and continued on, finally making it into the cafeteria and then into the kitchen. He saw exactly what he had expected. Piles of random kids, rolling off big cans of food, and stealing as much as they could. This angered Landon. "Girls, back me up on this please," he said as he moved to the middle of the kitchen.
"Hey!" he called out as loud as he could over the constant chattering of everyone. "Stop stealing all the food! There are tons of kids here that all need to eat. It's selfish to take it all for yourselves," he said angrily. Many kids rolled their eyes, but many also stopped realizing what he was saying. "We need to keep it all in here and continue to have meals like normal. All together." He looked around at everyone staring at him, each in different ways, some judgemental and some ready to here more. Others ignored him. "If we all just uh...put it back, then we can have people guard the food and then have meals every morning and night. We don't know how long we could be here. Where's Cody?" This would go better if he had Cody. Maybe he could get another one of those meetings started and Landon could try and let everyone know what he thought.

Jake hadn't even noticed anything unusually, too delighted in his hot dog. He was close to hugging Jessica, but didn't. Landon was half way through his yelling by now, and he frowned. Were they living in some big happy family right now? Not exactly. Did the kid really think everything would be fine? Shrugging, Jake stepped out of the kitchen area, still munching on his hot dog. He walked over to Tia, who held a pile of blankets that looked about half the size of her and some weird masks. "What are those for?" he asked her, taking another bite of his hot dog.

"They could drink and eat all the soda, milk, dessert before it gets spoiled, save the frozens. There's more vending machines in the teacher's lounge, we should brake down the glass and get all the stuff from there." She told him, starring at people quietly putting their food back. "We should be good for a couple of weeks." Eli smiled, standing next to Demi.

"Good Job, getting them all to stop like that. Nice."Β
He then moved back to where all of the kids were standing. He kept the megaphone is his hand.Β
"Hey, look, we know your hungry but DONT be savages!" Cody reasoned. "Make some sort of line and we'll give you some food for tonight. And don't try to come back for seconds, we need to save it! Also, we have some emergency blankets we will be handing out soon. It will be first come, first served. Please be nice about it.!"Β
He looked over to Tia and Landon as the kids attempted to make a line.Β
"Want to help me with this?" Β

At a table on the other side of the room, a girl sat by herself, slowly eating a hotdog. Raven's stomach growled hungrily. She wasn't much of a hot dog fan, but she was too hungry to care. She slowly walked over to the girl, making sure the hood and her bangs covered her eyes, and said in her high, shy voice, "Um... do you think you could make me one? I'm really hungry.." She mentally kicked herself for sounding like such a little kid, but she was shy. She couldn't help it. While waiting for an answer, she watched the group talk and plan and she could help but feel envy slowly eating at her stomach. That feeling mixed with hunger began to make her feel sick. With a sigh, she looked back at the girl and asked, "Do you think I could sit down? I'm not feeling too good.." She was afraid the girl would tell her to "buzz off" or call her a baby or worse. Tell her to "just deal with it". It wouldn't hurt her feelings, but it would pissed her off. When she's pissed, you don't want to mess with her.

"Well Hell-oo there students, will CJ Newman please report to the main office..." she clicked off the intercom and smiled at them sitting down in a seat looking out the window.

"Well, first of all, we may want to hide the intercom somewhere." Cody said while smiling. "As for tomorrow night, I guess we'll need a lot more blankets, so tomorrow I'll probably work out some sort of group to help get rid of all of these bodies and find some blankets outside. It may help us out for all of the students to have a blanket."
Cody smiled while he helped hand out the blankets, then made sure the food was taken care of.

Jake munched on his hot dog, then went and leaned against the wall of the cafeteria. People should start cheering up! This wasn't all too bad.
