The hallway exploded into bedlam. A scream, then a wet crunch as a distorted student slammed the teacher against the whiteboard. The metallic scent of blood hit the air. Desks overturned as the class erupted into a panicked stampede. You ran, your heartbeat a frantic drum in your ears, the guttural moans of the horde closing in. Just as your muscles screamed for rest, a vise-like grip locked around your wrist. You were jerked violently off your feet, stumbling into the dim stillness of an abandoned classroom. The door crashed shut behind you, muffling the hungry sounds outside. Kai stood braced against it, his chest rising and falling sharply, his gaze cutting through the dusty air to meet yours—cold, focused, holding the barricade against the relentless thudding from the other side.
