Hi everyone! This is my first Gone fic. I hope you guys enjoy it. I haven't exactly read fear yet though (I'm slow like that) but because it's a story about Duck I wouldn't really need to. So yeah.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story.

It was the day of the first big battle of the FAYZ. Everyone knew it was coming at some point. Most people tried to ignore the fact that so far, even only twelve days into the FAYZ, things were already falling apart.

Quite a large group of kids had gathered in the town plaza to watch the fight. So had come hoping to help out, but by the look of things, they weren't going to be able to.

Duck Zhang, however, did not want to go and see what was going on. He never liked violence much. Unless it was in comic books.

So, while the whole big battle was going on, Duck stayed alone in his closet with a pile of comic books.

At this time, Duck had been pretty much terrified of the mutants. He had good reason to be. After hearing stories about someone shooting deadly light from their palms and someone else being able to throw things around without even touching tem, pretty much scared Duck to death.

This was, of course, before Duck himself had become a mutant.

From his spot in the closet, he could just faintly hear the noise of the battle going on. He covered his hands over his ears, trying to block it out.

At this point in the FAYZ, nobody was going hungry. People had food. Better yet, people still had GOOD food. Duck had brought a few chocolate granola bars into the closet with him, just in case he started getting hungry in there.

God, this better end soon, Duck thought to himself.

A few days after the fight was when Duck really heard about what happened. He heard awful stories about coyotes, buildings collapsing, but he heard most about a boy with a tentacle for an arm.

He had seen the evidence for himself. A whole portion of the church was torn down. He also had seen all the new graves added to the plaza.

Only fifteen days into the FAYZ, and already it had become a nightmare for Duck.

I know. It was short. And it wasn't exactly fast passed and interesting. I wrote this for a friend of mine though, who for some reason chose Duck to be their favorite character. They told me to post this. So yeah. I hope you enjoyed it. Please review. :D
