something inaudible under her
breath.
    “ It is the Centers for
Disease Control. It’s located somewhere in Atlanta. The center
basically develops vaccines for the flu, controls disease
outbreaks, does research. That sort of thing,” Beetle shook his
head.
    “ Never heard of it,” Drew
said.
    “ Figured you didn’t,”
Beetle said. He laughed nervously, once he noticed the square look
on Drew’s face.
    Drew dismissed the comment. “Doesn’t look
like this C or DC has anything under control. Not here in Wiggins,
Mississippi. Or the Gulf Coast for that fact,” Drew said
remembering the website he had just browsed earlier.
    “ Do any of you have
weapons?” Beetle asked in squeaky voice.
    “ I have my pocket knife,”
Drew said as he scanned the room. Everybody stared at him in a
disapproving manner. “I mean c’mon. You guys know I hunt. Aren’t
y’all thankful that I broke the rules? This knife has saved us so
far and nobody has said anything.” Drew patted his pocket. He was
so glad that he did not forget to leave his safety tool at
home.
    “ How do we kill them?
The Eaters ? Does
anybody know? Mrs. Westwood’s cell phone cut off before we had a
chance to find out,” Mater said.
    The new group of students took note of Mrs.
Westwood and Mrs. Kissing’s mummified corpses. A movement was noted
in Mrs. Westwood’s belly.
    “ That is what happens when
this virus is introduce into the molecular, genetic makeup of an
older human species. I can guarantee you that baby is an Eater .” Gasps were heard
across the room. “And oh don’t worry, the baby can’t get out of
there. It would be like breaking through a brick wall,” Beetle said
as he studied the teacher’s remains.
    “ Are you sure about that?”
Mater asked.
    “ No. Just an educated
guess,” Beetle replied as Mater sighed out loudly. He gulped slowly
as he glanced out the window. Eaters shuffled amongst each other
unknowing where the next destination would be.
    “ Is it really a virus?”
Drew asked.
    “ According to the CDC’s
website it is a virus and we all know there is no cure for viruses.
All you can do is prevent yourself from contracting it,” Beetle
said.
    “ In other words, don’t get
bit,” Drew grimly replied.
    “ How. Do. We. Kill. Them?”
Sue Ellen enunciated each word carefully.
    Before anyone could answer Karley screamed
out in pure terror. The moans came first followed by Lakely going
berserk gnashing his teeth in attempt to clamp down on the rail
thin girl’s face. His eyes were glazed over and stuck in position
from the previous seizure. Black veins coursed through his face
like a windy road. He lifted his nose and sniffed out his prey.
Karley continued to yell as she tried to get away. Each time
Lakely’s mouth would get close to her face she would kick him in
the stomach but he kept coming back for her enraged by hunger. The
strength he possessed was amazingly strong. The students scampered
throughout the room too terrified to help Karley. They had
basically left her to her doom.
    Before Drew had a chance to pull his
pocketknife, Kaleb stepped up with his sharpened broom handle and
impaled Lakely at the base of his plagued brain. Kaleb smiled
widely as he slowly twisted the lethal weapon into the boy’s
diseased skull. Lakely dropped like a heavy anchor. He stopped
moaning. There was no movement. His once vibrant body lay lifeless
without a soul and the rabid virus.
    Without delay, Kaleb went over to Josefina
whose moaning grew louder and her hands waved even faster. She
snapped her jaws like she wanted a big kiss. Kaleb stood still and
studied the lively corpse for a moment. A sly grin crept over his
face. He took the broom handle and toyed with Josefina for a moment
before placing the stick in her mouth and methodically pushing it
through. Josefina’s body jerked once before falling over onto the
desks that had once held her prisoner. It had been a long time
since the classroom was silent.
    “ You wanted ta
