Chapter 9: First Bite
"He is restricted," Mr. Donaldson replied to the frightened Gabrielle. The remaining students were happy to hear that but there was still a sudden doubt in their eyes. "He wouldn't harm. We will thereby execute him just after he has fully transitioned into a zombie."
"Mr. Donaldson," It was Zadkiel, the class's gold, who called the teacher's attention. "I believe you can do something before he gets completely transitioned. You talked about the reverting spell, it is used to revert something back to its position, try it on him!"
Gabrielle looked at Zadkiel and then nodded but even though Mr. Donaldson had told her that Harry was restricted from walking further, she was still self-conscious and because she had PTSD the shock she experienced was pretty much different from the others.
She was basically moving backwards each time, however, there were some girls who didn't hesitate to push her forward if she got too near. She wasn't the only one scared, everyone else was and due to their population versus the size of the classroom, it was difficult for a person to accumulate much space for only himself.
And as if Gabrielle could spot the fire in his eyes, she could tell she was his target. But why?!
"I am afraid his slow transition has almost turned him into a complete zombie. It is only an exhaustion of energy if I try to do something to change him back."
Though everyone thought whatever Harry was going through was transitioning, they had no idea Harry had transitioned a long time ago, even before he walked into the classroom. All that was happening to him was as a result of his weak stats which did nothing but caused him extreme pain.
Laura shook her head seeing the manner in which conversation was layered and seeing how some people even tried to save a zombie. "You all can talk about saving this pathetic boy, but I am not a fool to agree! Don't you understand that he is now a zombie? Nothing similar to us! He isn't even conscious and all that is probably in his mind is to eat everyone up which I won't let happen."
They looked at her, wondering what she was talking about only for her to bring out her lunch bag and then take out a small knife somewhere around her plate where the fork and knife had been placed. She walked over to Harry.
Knowing that the spell Mr. Donaldson cast was binding him from moving brazed her. She held tightly to the knife and then thrust it in the pathetic zombie who growled in pain as a result.
His growl was like a lion's roar after it had been stabbed, and while some people blocked their ears, Mr. Donaldson was scared that the noise could call unto more zombies into the classroom.
He looked at the door, trying to tell himself that nothing could pass through it as long as he blocked it with his magic. Right now, they needed to sort out whatever was happening.
Though the knife wasn't sharp, the strength in which Laura instilled it was enough to pierce into the body of the zombie. She tried doing this multiple times while Mr. Donaldson could only sigh as the transitioning zombie growled in pain but couldn't fight in return.
Maybe, the majority of the students were right after all. It was better they kill the infected one than waiting for more to spread. They also needed to go back to the spell they were learning before as no one knew when they could be attacked by many zombies who would even turn out to be faster than the one in the class right now.
As Laura stabbed Harry continuously and with anger like a mad woman, Zadkiel ran to the both of them and pushed her away from continuously stabbing him but Laura elbowed him in his eyes in the process.
However, after putting more effort into his motion, Harry slowly and successfully turned backwards, facing the girl attacking him.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her to him.
Everyone was startled while Laura almost fainted due to the shock.
No one expected the transitioning zombie to move, just like what happened when he couldn't move to attack Gabrielle. Unknown to them, the restricting spell cast on him involved only a small diameter. He could attack someone nearer.
Laura pulled her hand from him but he was so restricting. She felt disgusted as his rough hands held her and pulled her towards himself. His body was stinking.
Now that Laura could watch him clearly, she saw that he looked like a corpse which had lasted for seven days. Some of his blood from being stabbed by her began to drop on her hand and she closed her eyes in disgust.
If she could develop some kind of power, she would have killed this ugly thing in a second.
Before anyone could stop him from feeding on her, Harry dropped his head and his mouth which had larger canines than he had before slowly drew nearer to the fresh human's arm.
He was ready to bite and in the process, increase his stats.
Harry knew the increase would be a little since she wasn't Gabrielle but then, at least, he would avoid his stats decreasing aggressively.
Beep.

Learning of the benefit, Harry's teeth sank into Laura's skin. However, surprising him, before he could bite completely, Gabrielle charged from behind as she hit him with a heavy stone.
With this, Harry released Laura and fell completely unconscious on the floor.
His body was regenerating since he just had his first bite, however, the same heavy stone hit his head severally and in a span of seconds, his head burst out like bloody meat balls.
