A new story! Again! I promise that I'll keep this one going, BUT (I'm such a party pooper -_-), I can't promise that I'll update often! Anyway! Let's start! ;P

Summary:

What if someday, the world started to crumble to it's end? Only the teenagers living on. That would be, those who actually could survive. Only the bravest and strongest could survive in this newborn world. And a certain two teenagers would do whatever they could to survive.


Lucy couldn't remember the last time she tasted something with a rich flavour like fruit tart, strawberry milkshake or real meat.

Nope.

When the world suddenly changed, dried meat and canned food became a part of her daily life. Every day.

There would be times when they found some chocolate or coke in deserted supermarkets, but the chocolate had melted and the coke was warm. So that was no luxury really.

But food was nothing to brag about. Not when one can of food could mean death or life, when you before, stuffed all kinds of things in your mouth and complained if it was the least burnt.

Now that the world had decided to make everything completely fucked up, starve only killed 2 of 20 people. The other 18 became food to other creatures that they before called teacher, mother, father, auntie and all that shit.

Disgusting.

Lucy and her ''gang'' had lost a little girl named Louise to the adults today. Only 7 years old.

It always pained Lucy to lose someone from her gang. And it pained her even more to think that it happened quite often.

''Oi! Luce!'' A voice brought Lucy out of her thoughts. It didn't bother her thought; she would be more than happy to talk to Natsu instead of thinking about these things.

''Yeah?'' She said.

''The team that went out for food is back.'' He replied. ''There's not much food tho. It's becoming harder and harder to find food, isn't it?''

Lucy nodded. ''did everyone make it back safely?'' She asked, hoping for the best.

''yeah, we were lucky today'' Natsu answered. ''but they don't have so much food with them. What are we gonna do when everything run out?''

She sighed and closed her eyes. That was what she was thinking about for hours every day. Food. Right now, they were pretty OK, but soon they would need to move somewhere else and that could take time. And she knew that it would be dangerous, especially if it meant living in the streets for one or two days.

She started to walk towards their ''kitchen'' with Natsu on her heels, but all it were, were just a campfire and a few dirty pillows to sit on.

The children sat around the burning fire and munched on some beans. The teens stood further back against a wall, chatting and waiting for their turn to eat.

A small girl called Wendy sat and read a book her mother had given her the day before everything broke out. She was a small girl with blue hair, a kind girl. Lucy thought of her as a smaller sister and the 9 year old girl didn't deserve any of this stupid shit.

No one really did.

Their basement started to darken, meaning that it would soon be night. That was the time when the adults where less active, but it would still be all too dangerous to walk out. They could be lurking behind buildings and in alleyways.

Basically everything was dangerous.

Standing five feet from the basement in two or three minutes would be dangerous. Walking to close to walls outside would be dangerous. Make too much sound would be dangerous.

I think you get it.

As much as she hated to admit it, she knew that they had become more clever than the first month were they just took the first thing that came to them and ate it. Flesh of course.

They had become more daring too, which scared Lucy. She wasn't any different just because she had the title leader. She was different.

Strong, brave and clever.

But on the inside she was as soft as pillow.

And she had to stop herself from crying when it all started, for the children. Crying would only bring more fear to their minds.

While thinking some more, Lucy started to walk towards the others to grab the rest, hoping that everyone else had already eaten.


Gray swinged his axe around, in hope for some entertainment. He had just returned from a hell ride.

He had been out on a stroll in search for food, not alone of course. That would be pure suicide. He had Erza looking to the right, Elfman looking back, Lyon looking to the left and himself forward. They also had a few in the middle, just in case something was to happen.

And like hell something happened.

Those fucking bastards came from the right and of course Erza alarmed, but they just had to be so fucking many!

At least 25 bastards, if not more. And they, the teenagers, were just 7.

They lost 2 and Lyon was bitten in the arm.

Fucking disgusting. And it's even more disgusting to think about what the bastards do to the ones they catch.

But that was a thought that Gray was used to.

Everyone had these thoughts. Another part of their current life.

As the leader, he always tried to make them think of other things. Not unicorns and that fucked up shit. But maybe about a better future with safe homes, being free from the never-ending fear if being eaten half alive and have delicious dinners that fill your stomach completely.

Everyone, even the small ones at the age 3, knew that it was impossible to get back their father and mother. They were either rottening from inside and eating kids or dead.

Shaking his head, he stopped playing with his axe and pushed himself from the wall he had been leaning on.

Gray walked down the corridor of the old supermarket that they now called ''temporary home''.

The doors had been locked up with chains and locks so that the bastards wouldn't come in. They hadn't been in this area yet. They only limp around where they think there is food and so far, they haven't discovered them.

As Gray walked down the cold corridors Gajeel, a very violent teenager, came out from a nearby door. He nodded towards Gray and waited for him to catch up so that they could walk together.

Gajeel was the best fighter in this gang; he had been a well known delinquent at Fairy High and wouldn't mind completely destroying 10 or 15 ''adults''.

''Hey'' Gray said.

''Yo'' Gajeel answered as they walked down the corridor together towards unknown directions.

It became quiet when they found nothing to talk about, not that they really minded. After all, they were two of the toughest ones here and didn't waste much energy on talking.

''so, what happened while we were gone?'' Gray asked quite simply.

''Ah, nothing much. Just the usual shit'' Gajeel continued to look forward as they walked and as did Gray.

Gray sighed heavily, feeling quite tired after the long day.

The days would go by much slower now when the disease had come. Before everything, you could always go out to play at some arcade or go to the entertainment park. If you felt lazier you could stay home and sleep or play some games on the computer.

You couldn't do any of that now. The electricity had stopped working ages ago and the only thing you could do to entertain yourself now, was to play cards or chat with someone.

Boring.

Gray sometimes found it fun to play with the smaller kids, but not often. That was Mirajaine's job, taking care of the kids.

Gajeel turned right into another corridor that Gray thought would lead to the watch tower at the top of the abandoned supermarket.

Gray continued forward, deciding to go to the meeting place where everyone usually hangs out. That's also where they eat and, which is quite obvious, have meetings.

The axe still in his hands, he walked in to the most spacious room in the whole building. Some gazes turned to him followed by smiles and grins.

He was respected in this new world.

''Yo Gray!''

''Heya!''

''Hello Gray''

''Welcome back!''

Gray smiled back at them and sat down at a plastic chair which looked like it could break at any minute.

''Hey!'' He grinned towards them and then remembered something. ''How's Lyon doing? The wound is not infected, is it?''

Gray really didn't want to lose someone else. Especially not his childhood friend.

He knew how dirty and shitty one of those disgusting mouths of the bastards could be and an infection were nothing strange to get after being bitten by those fucking corpses.

Some shook their heads and some continued to chat with their friends, just as they were before he came in.

''We don't know. Lisanna isn't done yet'' a 9 year old boy named Romeo answered. One of Gray's best buddies.

''Ok'' Gray said and looked at Romeo. Gray wanted to do something. Play with kids, listen to shitty jokes or even play with cards, which he both sucked at and hated. Just do something so he could worry less about his old time childhood friend.

That's what he normally did when he worried about something. Do something to distract himself from the problem.

''Romeo, wanna do something?'' Gray asked the Dark purple haired boy.

The boy's face broke up into a wide grin.

''Yeah!''


Lucy sat at the campfire and watched as the small kids slept. Natsu sat beside her, half-asleep just in case something where to happen.

Lucy couldn't sleep and that wasn't anything abnormal. She was always a little afraid that something would happen on the nights.

That she wouldn't hear them coming in, the screams of help from the kids and then all the cries from all the ones that survived.

So she preferred to stay up. She could sleep on the day. Just a little was okay.

But all the feelings inside were slowly fading. She was the leader and feelings weren't something that could ever come in the way.

If she had to sacrifice herself for all the others, fear of dying couldn't come in the way. Neither love. If the loved one died she would only be depressed and wouldn't be able to fight properly.

Therefore, Lucy had decided to delete her feelings as much as possible. But she wanted to keep happiness.

If someday, this hell, this fucking hell, where to return to what now seemed like heaven, she wanted to be able to feel happiness.

Lucy enjoyed thinking to herself like this. It made her more relaxed in some way. If only-

Faint scratches on the door harshly brought her out of her thoughts. The scratch noises were sometimes followed by faint moans.

No, please don't let it be what I think it is..

Her calm thoughts turned desperate as the sounds continued. Lucy looked over her shoulder, in the direction of the big doors.

And just as she thought, it moved a little. Just a little.

But that was the sign she was given that they had been discovered.

''Those fucking bastards!.. Can't they stay brainless?!..'' She murmured under her breath as she held her forehead, thinking of what to do.

Her ''murmuring'' had woken Natsu up and he was now looking over Lucy.

''What?'' He asked her, but didn't need an answer when he heard what she earlier had heard.

Natsu's eyes widened slightly and his expression turned into one of disbelief.

''Now? This early?'' He asked another question but this time, more to himself.

Lucy got what he meant. Before they had been able to live on the same place for at least 6 months and so far, it had only gone 4 months. In the world before this one, that wasn't as much as it was today.

They had indeed become more intelligent and that truly scared Lucy. She was afraid that in 2 months or so, they would be able to solve a fucking Sudoku Puzzle!

But she had to deal with this now.

Lucy made the first move and stood up, a cold look on her face.

''Natsu. Wake up the small ones up and be sure to not scare them in any way, 'kay?'' Lucy requested of Natsu. She then walked up to the sleeping Levy, her absolute best friend among all girls.

Levy was smart and would probably know what to do in this situation.

She shook the blue haired girl's shoulders and that was enough to wake her up. Levy rubbed her eyes and stared at Lucy.

''Huh? Lu-chan? What is-'' Levy didn't get to finish her sentence before the door broke with a loud bang and a fucking huge ''adult'' stepped in with that fucked up face with his. A father. Just great.

But Lucy didn't feel like really cry before she saw the other 50 ones behind him.
