A/N: This story begins right in the middle of the evacuation in the end of season five. We know that the mallrats manage to escape on a boat, together. But everyone weren't that lucky. This is the story of a group of more or less lonely individuals, the people who lost their tribe and how they together forms a new tribe: the March Hares!
So this story will mainly focus on OC's allthough there will be plenty of references and mentionings of the mallrats, technos, chosen, locos and so on. And it's not completly impossible that we will meet/hear of some of our old friends later in the story. I have huge respect for the original series and will not mess with what's canon if I can avoid it.
Kelli ran for her life. She didn't stop to wonder or think like so many others. Kelli was a survivor and she wouldn't let her feelings get in the way of surviving a second virus.
"Fucking Mega" she murmured to herself. She used the anger she felt for the leader of the technos to fuel herself, keep her running. How could that guy be so fucking stupid? Just for five seconds she lost her concentration and that was enough. Kelli slammed into something with such an impact that she was thrown back a few feet. She looked up and saw a person in front of her.
"Hey! Watch it!" She snarled.
"Watch it yourself!" He shouted right back. She now saw that he was a tall guy with dark eyes. She was just about to say something when he walked passed her with a determined look on his face.
"Hey! That's the wrong way!" She screamed after him… no reaction. For a second she thought about leaving him to his destiny. Survival before feelings. But maybe he didn't know? She had to at least try to warn him…
"Hey, didn't you hear me?" She ran up beside him. "There's a new virus! We need to evacuate the city" He didn't even look at her.
"HEY?" Kelli pushed herself in front of him. She was starting to get really annoyed. "You can't go back!"
He finally looked at her. His eyes were so dark, filled with so much anger, that Kelli almost thought he was going to kill her.
"Yes I can!" As he spoke a few people ran past them, away from the inner parts of the city.
"See! Everybody's running! You will DIE!" Kelli started to panic as more people was running past them. Why was he being stubborn? The guy pushed her aside but Kelli was quicker. She grabbed his arm and started to drag him in the other direction. He was bigger then her, but Kelli was strong and he wasn't ready for it.
"Hey! What are you doing? He yelled as she dragged them both towards the outlines of the city.
"SAVING YOUR LIFE!" She had to scream as the number of people running had increased and with them came screams and sounds of panic and fear.
"WHY?"
"I DON'T KNOW! But it would be easier if you didn't struggle!" She had dragged him a far way and they were now almost out of the city.
"You don't understand! He tore away from her. "MY TRIBE IS IN THERE!"
Kelli slowed down and gave the guy an empathic look as she heard those words. She once was a part of a tribe herself and she knew how it felt to lose one. She stepped closer and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"I know it's hard, but if they're still in there they might as well be dead… All you can do is run and hope to meet most of them outside the city… in safety! He only thought about it for a few seconds before nodding. Now they were both running, survival before feelings.
A/N: And that's the first part. I really appreciate reviews and tips on my language and if I made grammar/spelling mistakes (although I have done a spellcheck so it shouldn't be any in there...). I'm swedish so writing in english is really a challenge and if I make mistakes I want to learn from them :) And ofc any other tips, reviews, comments are very much appreciated to :D
