~Rating: I don't think it would be anything more then PG-13.

~Synopsis: Because of a mysterious virus all of the adults are dead (in other words the premice of the TV show The Tribe hence the posting on Fanfiction.net) and various kids in gangs called tribes try to put the world back together.

~Disclaimer: I don't own "the virus" or the whole idea of tribes, but every charecter in here is either owned by me was used by perimission and is owned by ppl on the Tribeworld Bulletin board. I don't remeber everyone who gave me charecters but i remember a few: Kyle and Mara belong to Ben_Walker.

~Author's note: Umm this has an overtone of Christianity in it and if you are offended by religion please be mature enough to not read instead of reading then getting pissed and flaming me.

******************************************************************************

GENESIS AND Galaxy lead the way down the path they told Moonshine the tribe was going to follow. After about another half an hour of walking they saw a church. It was a sizable church called "The Church of our Savior."
Galaxy, Genesis, and Orpheus got their riffles out and went in. They searched around room by room and found no one in the church. They came back out and told the rest of the tribe that it was safe to go in. They all looked around and picked out their rooms. Then they started looking around to see if there was anything useful.

MOONSHINE AND Shannaria made their way down the street, their eyes peeled for The Saved or a church they would have gone into. After some time they saw a church. It was the one that The Saved were in and they went inside. Moonshine called a meeting.

"We have two things to do. One is we need to decide who will be going to the tribal gathering. And the other is to decide if Shannaria can be part of the tribe. I think we should decide whether Shannaria can be part of tribe or not first. I know it's probably procedure to ask her a lot of questions and then vote but why don't we just vote on this one? All in favor of her joining the tribe raise you hands." Nine tribe members raised their hands. "All opposed please raise your hands." Four tribe members raised their hands. "Ok. Welcome to the tribe Shannaria. Now we need to figure out who is going to the tribal gathering." She handed out paper and pencils to everyone. "Write the six other people besides me you want to go to the tribal gathering. I will tally them and when I am done I will call another meeting." After everyone was done voting, Moonshine collected and looked at the ballots.

"According to the votes the following people will be going to the gathering besides me: Genesis, Pritchard, Rosemary, Michael, Lemon, and Melanie. What are we going to bring to trade? I think we need to brainstorm."
"Why don't we just trade a variety of stuff? All the stuff we don't really want that is with us," suggested Shannaria.

"Okay that sounds good," Moonshine said.

IT WAS 10:00 am. Meeting time for the Mall Daemons. Once everyone was there Nastasha went up to the podium and said "Okay the tribal gathering will be in two days. The following people will come with me to the gathering: Primrose, Saturn, Madaline, James, Disdra, Dawn, Kandi, and Ophelia. The rest of you are to split into two groups. Half of you are to stay and protect the HQ. The other half will go out and get food and water. While we are gone I will leave Ricochet in charge. Meeting adjourned."
The tribe went their separate ways.

ALESSANDRA CALLED a meeting. When everyone arrived, she went to the podium and started speaking.
"The following people will be going to the tribal gathering with me. If your name is not called you will stay behind and half of you will protect the HQ. The other half will go out and get food and water. Now these are the people who I have chosen: Malice, July, Flick, Graydon, Dominick, and Duri. You are to pack and be ready by 5:00 am tomorrow. Meeting adjourned." The people who were called went to their rooms. The rest went and decided who was going to look for food and water and who was going to stay behind and guard the HQ.


THE SAVED had gathered up the stuff they were going to trade.

"Okay. Genesis, Pritchard, Rosemary, Michael, Lemon, and Melanie, you need to be ready by 5:00am. Be packed." Moonshine told every one.
"Okay it will be done. Oh also if we pool some stuff maybe we could buy a slave or two and either let them be apart of the tribe or set them free. If you are willing to do so please see me in my room later and we can put everything in my bag or spread it out. Okay I vote that this meeting be adjourned."
"I second that," said Galaxy.
"Okay meeting adjourned. Now everyone go get a goods night sleep. "
"Moonshine I want you to be careful," said Galaxy "This gives me a bad feeling and all."
"Oh that reminds me. After we get back we need to enhance our security. But since this is a one day event I think it will be okay for you guys just to lock the doors. I have also decided that only one group should go out into the city not all of you."
Moonshine went to her bedroom and went through all of her belongings. She found some extra things she wanted to trade. They consisted of a set of question mark earrings, a book, an unopened eye shadow pencil, and a bracelet. Then Galaxy came in. She was carrying a small bag of things.
"Hey Galaxy what's up?"
"Nothing much. Here is the stuff I don't mind trading to set someone free."
"Great. What's in it?"
"Oh a set of exclamation point earrings, a Charlotte Church CD, and an eyeliner pencil. Nothing much. Okay I gatta go Bye Moonshine."
"Before you go, thanks for the donation. Bye Galaxy. Oh are you going to be up to see us off?"
"Yeah probably. You better be careful I have a bad feeling about this Moonshine. I don't want to see anyone hurt."
"We'll be careful."
All of the tribe came in her room that night. By the time the last person came and donated , not including Galaxy and Moonshine's donations they had about half a backpack full of stuff. Mostly it was earrings and makeup and nail polish, but some people gave some good stuff: Willow gave a very beautiful scarf, Genesis a pair of yellow Nike shoes, Orpheus a MSSM shirt, Andrea a black mini-skirt and Lemon a needle book with four needles in it.
Moonshine went scouring the church and found a spool of thread to add to the needle book and then the bag was packed away until morning.
When Genesis woke up that morning he was very excited. Not just because of the tribal gathering. Today was the day he had decided to ask Moonshine out. After the tribal gathering he would ask to talk to her. He would bring her to a secluded room and ask her the question. Hopefully she would say yes. But what if she said no? He had liked her before school ended but even though he heard that she liked him he hadn't had the courage to ask her out.
Then he went to Moonshine's room and watched her sleeping. He left because she started tossing and turning.
When Moonshine woke she got dressed and checked the clock it was 4:55. She got the donations and what she planned to bring to the tribal gathering and went up stairs to the meeting place and everyone was there. Just to make sure Moonshine called roll. They were all there.
"Okay now before we go we should have a minute or two of silent prayer."
Moonshine closed her eyes and prayed. When she was done she saw that most people were done praying so she said it was time to finish up. When all the people were ready everyone went to the door. Moonshine went to Galaxy's room and was about to say goodbye when she looked up and saw that Galaxy was gone. Moonshine ran to Orpheus's room and told him the news.
"Moonshine it's okay, we'll find her. You go off and don't tell the rest they don't need anything else on their minds." Moonshine went down stairs and went to the door.
"Okay let's go," she said. They set off down the street

They had been walking awhile and were almost there when Moonshine started talking.
"Ok you all know the rules of safety and everything right? Well I am just telling you please follow them. I don't need to loose any of you guys"
"We'll follow them," said Pritchard.
"We go to that big tent and sign in. Then apparently we are supposed to wait," Moonshine said. The group walked over to the tent and Moonshine signed them in. They were the last to arrive so when they sat down Fire walked up to the podium.
"Welcome to the first annual tribal gathering at Kennedy Park. I would request that you set up your stalls over in the baseball field. The tribe leader's meeting will be in three hours in the rec hall. Only leaders are to attend. From now until then I expect everyone to have some fun or at least to make some business."
Moonshine and her group proceeded to the baseball field. Then they saw a slave traders booth. Moonshine went over and presented the donations bag.
"How many can I get for this and what is inside?"
"One maybe two of the young ones but nothing more. These are just trivial things."
"Fine. Give me your two youngest."
The slave trader went over and brought two children. One a girl the other a boy. The boy looked to be about four or five. The girl looked to be maybe seven. Moonshine took the children and brought them over to their booth.
"Okay you two are free. you are not slaves anymore. Could you tell me your names and ages?"
"Sparhawk," said the boy. " I'm this old," he held up four and a half fingers.
"How did that mean person get you?"
"Well when Mommy and Daddy died Sissa took care of me. and then that bad person caught both of us and he sold Sissa."
"My names Mabel and I'm six and a half."
"Okay Mabel and Sparhawk do you want to join our tribe?"
"Okay," said Sparhawk
"Yeperonie," yelled Mabel.
"Okay. Pritchard can you watch them? I gatta go scout out the rest of the tribes and maybe talk to a few people."
"Yep I can"
Moonshine walked off into the chaos of the trading stalls.

KYLE HAD been trying to find Mara at the gathering all day when finally he found her at the line of shops.
"Mara I need to talk to you!" said Kyle
"Wait a second."
"NO NOW!"
"Gesh. What the hell do you want?"
"Just come with me. I need to show you something."
They walked to his hiding spot across the street and went inside. He brought Mara up the stairs and what she saw made her gasp.
"That's Galaxy. Isn't she part of the Nefarious Puellae? Fire will kick your ass if she finds out."
"No. Galaxy ran from the NP and Fire gave me the job of catching Galaxy, and two other people who have managed to piss her off. You owe me a favor so now I am going to call it in. Watch her for me so I can get the other two. If you don't, I know some things that Fire or Alessandra would not be happy about if they knew and they would come after you first."
"Fine I'll do it."
"Okay I'll check back in a day or two."

About an hour after Moonshine started walking around talking to people she heard screaming and other noises coming from the baseball field. She ran over and what she saw was pure anarchy. There was a riot going on. She made her way through the fight trying not to get into anyone's way when a guy got in front of her and tried to throw a punch. Moonshine blocked it and punched the guy in the nose. Blood spurted everywhere and Moonshine ran from him. When she finally found the booth everyone was under it and thankfully okay. All except Pritchard. Prichard's throat had been slit and he was unconscious. Moonshine asked what happened.

Lemon answered her. "A little while ago a person from The Gulls was selling wine and caught a member of the Mall Daemons stealing from him. He punched the thief and some Mall Daemons saw it. They jumped into the fight and then some of The Gulls saw it and jumped in and soon people were either fighting or looting. Pritchard tried to stop a person who stole from us and the person took out a knife and slit his throat." Moonshine had to think quickly.
"Okay everyone we will split up. Myself, Lemon and Rosemary will free as many slaves as we can because I doubt their sellers will be watching them that closely and the rest of you are to pack up and go home. If you can please try to bring Pritchard's body back. If you can't I think he would understand. Leave now and don't look back. Lemon and Rosemary come with me."
Moonshine, Lemon and Rosemary made their way towards a slave booth. When they got there they saw that the man running the booth was fighting someone and didn't see them. They untied as many slaves as possible and whispered to them that they were free and if they wanted to they could join The Saved. Most of the former slaves decided to join. They made their way out of the riot and back to the Church. Moonshine called an emergency meeting when everyone was inside and they had locked the doors.
"We are at this meeting to find out who our new members are," said Moonshine. She had called the meeting the next day after everyone had had a rest.
"Okay, we will go right for everyone and then we will get the new comers some new clothes, if they so desire as they are kinda worn out."
The introductions started with a girl with brown hair who was of medium build.
"My name is Jenna"
The next girl had blonde hair and blue eyes.
"My name is Lanka"
The next boy had brown hair and blue eyes.
"My name is August"
It went on until they found out that the twelve new people's names where Jenna, Lanka, August, Jackson, Obi, Undetriginta, Golden Rod, Calendura, Annua, Oppidum, Sparkawk, and Mabel.
"Okay we are going to have a small get together tomorrow so you guys can get to know everyone. For now Andrea can you show them their rooms."
"Okay they are in now we have to talk about Pritchard. We need to give him a proper funeral. Where are we going to burry him?"
"I think I remember him telling me where his parents were buried. Its that cemetery in sector one." said Emily
"I feel really bad saying this but we can't make that trip." said Moonshine. "Was there a place he really loved?"
"Well he really loved the sunset at the lake near Kennedy park." said Emily.
"Okay tomorrow before the get together we will go and burry him." Everyone nodded in agreement
"I move this meeting be adjourned." said Moonshine.
"I second that." said Galaxy.
"Okay meeting adjourned we will meet at 4 am. The new members will be notified we are leaving tonight." said Moonshine. She went to her room lied down and was soon in the world of dreams. Sometime later she woke with a start and smelled smoke. She screamed.
"FIRE." She gathered what she could from her room and went screaming through the church fire. She went to every room she could get to and got as many people out as she could but when she tried to get outside she fainted.

GENESIS WAS outside counting everyone when he noticed Moonshine wasn't there.
"I'm going back in. Moonshine isn't here."
He ran in before anyone could stop him. The smoke made it nearly impossible to see and he had to crawl in order to breath. He could make out the stairs and some of the doors but he couldn't see Moonshine. He was crawling around when he ran into something. He felt what he ran into and realized it was a person. Dragging it outside he saw the person was Moonshine . She was unconscious. He shook her a few times to try to wake her up, but to no avail. Then he started crying.
"Don't die on me before I have told you my feelings. I love you Moonshine. I love you."
He kissed her as the flames burned away their home.
