It all happened in a matter of seconds.
In the middle of the game, an alarm began to sound throughout the stadium. At first, most people thought it was an earthquake. Many instinctively ducked for cover.
It was the worst mistake they could have made.
People covered in blood, with horrific wounds and unnatural movements, burst through every entrance. They seemed unconscious. They just kept moving forward, attacking anyone they encountered.
The stadium erupted into chaos. Shouts, shoves, and desperation filled the stands. Ness barely had time to react. A teammate shoved him hard, and guided only by instinct, he took off running without looking back.
