Lucy P.O.V.

We're halfway there. We've killed a hell lot of zombies already. Fucking things won't stop coming! Anyways, we decided to take a fifteen minute break here at an abandoned... drug store? It looks like a drug store. Or maybe a pharmacy? Either way, we've been travelling for a good five hours now. And not once have I seen Erza look away from Gray. Does she like him? Does he like her? Is this even my buisness? Whatever. Natsu hands me a bottled water and something that appears to be food.

"Here." he says while handing it to me.

"Thanks." I say while taking a sip from the water. I look at the thing wrapped in foil and I open it up. I have no idea what it is. It's like a sandwich... but, at the same time... it looks like a cake. I mean, I see bread, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese. But I also see chocolate, sprinkles, and icing. "W-what is this?" I ask.

"Our group has been surviving on Laxus' cakewiches for some time now." says Natsu. Of course. I should've know. It was a cakewich. A cake sandwich. What's next? A coke milkshake with onions and garlic? Bleh.

"Oh..." I say.

"C'mon, it's not that bad. Imagine your dinner and dessert in one bite." says Natsu.

I hesistate at first, but I decided on biting a little of it. It was ghastly, but I'm so hungry that I'd eat any food that came my way.

"Don't knock it 'till you've tried it, is what my grandfather used to say." says Natsu.

"Shut up." I say while lightly hitting him on the arm. We stay silent for a minute. "Do you think they're okay? You know, our friends, family, loved ones, do you think...?" I ask.

"I'm guessing some of the people I know have been infected." says Natsu. "I just hope my dad's okay. I haven't seen him in a while but... sure hope he's okay." says Natsu.

"Me too. My dad and I aren't that close, but I don't want anything bad to happen to him." I say. Natsu nods his head.

"Hey, when are we leaving?" asks Cana while taking a swig of her beer.

"Cana, that's like, you're fifth bottle. Try to stay sober, kay?" I say.

"Pshaw. Drunk people can be very violent." says Cana.

"Okay, whatever. I'm just saying." I say.

"Hey, it's bound time we leave now people." says Erza. "We've gotta get to that second base ASAP." says Erza.

"Right." says Cana. "Wait, we should take some supplies first. We'll need 'em." says Cana.

"She's right." says Hibiki. "We'll need food and other stuff."

Everyone then starts getting supplies and putting them into cardboard boxes. I look at Mira and Elfman, both were happy yet sad. I know how they feel. Their little sister is somewhere out there. So is my cousin, Michelle. Michelle is my cousin, but she feels more like a sister. Everyone is working hard. I admire their bravery but, I know somewhere deep down, their scared. We all are.

"Stay strong." I say to myself silently.

"No shit." says Cana.

"What do you want now?" I ask.

"Whoa, when did you become such a bitch?" asks Cana.

"Sorry. I'm just tired." I say.

"Don't worry. We're leaving in a bit. We found an RV at the back, there was also gas. But we don't have the keys. Cana?" asks Erza.

"I'm on it." she says.

"Hibiki, go with her." says Gray.

"Yes sir." says Hibiki while following Cana.

I look around. Everyone seemed to be okay... but then again... they could be hurting inside. I then walk towards Mira. Mira is always smiling. But I know deep inside she's dying.

"Hey, what's up?" she says sweetly when she sees me walking towards her. And I say the stupidest thing... oh god.

Mira's P.O.V.

"Hey, what's up?" I ask Lucy as she walks towards me.

"Did you ever consider the fact that she may be gone?" asks Lucy. The smile then dissappears from my face. "I'm sorry, it just came out. I didn't meant it." says Lucy while appologizing.

"It's fine. I'm not mad. But yes, to be honest I have considered that fact. But I have also considered that she may be alive. And I hope the second one is true. Once I find my sister, be she dead, alive or zombie... I can die happy. Just seeing her again, will make me smile. And I can go in peace." I tell her.

"Even if she's turned into one of them?" asks Lucy.

"I don't really care... I love Lisanna. And I will either way. Though, I really hope she's alive." I say. I'm still terrified and worried. The chances of her survival are one in a million. It's like I'm relying on false hope. But I have to stay strong and positive. I'll find her. I just know it.

Lucy's P.O.V.

The bravery of this girl. Astonishing. If I saw Michelle as a zombie, I'd freak out. I'd never be the same. Oh, poor, sweet, innocent Michelle. Where could she be?

I rest a reassuring hand on Mira's shoulder. "Don't worry. I'm sure we'll find her." I tell her. She gives me a smile. This was a peaceful moment, too bad it didn't last long.

"Nee-san! Lucy! More of them are coming!" shouts Elfman as he runs to warn us. Mira and I stand up. I grab my whip and Mira grabs her rifle. We head back to the drug store. Everyone was already fighting.

I could see Erza slicing, Cana shooting, and the boys were trying to make up some sort of diversion. I rush to Erza's side, whipping a few asses on the way.

"There's too many of them!" I shout as I block one, I nearly got bitten. Good thing I whipped it's head clean off before it could touch me.

"Shit! We're running low on ammo!" shouts Cana.

"Over there! I can see it! There's a gun shop a few lots from here!" says Mira as she shoots from the counter- above the ground.

"We'll never get through! There's too many! We'll run out before we can even make it out this fucking store!" shouts Cana.

I look around, trying to find an escape. There was a window, but it could only fit two at a time. The guys are outside, shooting and throwing grenades. They looked too busy to help us. Mira and Cana were shooting from the counter, they've already knocked over the cash register. Erza and I fight close to the window. I have a plan... it's suicidal... but it could work.

"Erza!" I shout to her.

She looks at me as she continues to kick ass. "What?!" she shouts while slicing off zombie heads.

"The window!" I shout back. She looks at the window then back at me, we both knew it would be a sacrifice. But we are the only ones with weapons that don't require ammo. We have to make this sacrifice. "How much are you willing to make the sacrifice?" I ask.

"Fuck! We're out!" shouts Cana as she and Mira were standing there helpless.

"Let's do it!" says Erza. "HEY FUCKTARDS! GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE!" shouts Erza as she starts making a lot of noise, I follow her lead. The zombies turn around to face us, away from Mira and Cana. "Oh, you want us? Then come get us, you ugly bastards!" shouts Erza as she and I climb a shelf, and out the window. I could see the zombies following me and Erza out the window.

"What the damn hell?! Erza! Lucy! What in fuck's name are you doing?!" shouts Cana.

"Guys, stop! Come back, please!" pleads Mira. But it was too late. Erza and I headed for the woods, running. We could still see and here them chasing us. There is no escape. Erza and I are done for.

"Erza!" I shout while extending my hand to her.

"What are you doing?!" she shouts.

"Take it!" I scream. She nods while taking my hand. We run through the woods, hand-in-hand. If we're going to die this way, we're dying together.

"Erza! Lucy! You crazy bitches!" shouts Cana as she, Mira, Natsu and Elfman come after us in ATVs.

"What are you doing?!" Erza and I ask.

"Saving you!" shouts Natsu as he reaches for my hand, Mira reaches out for Erza's. We're running down a hill, it's too steep. We're going too fast.

"Natsu, I... I can't!" I shout. I notice a cliff up ahead. I'm screwed. Erza was already with Mira and Cana in an ATV.

"Lucy, come on! I'm not letting you die! No way, no how! Grab onto me!" shouts Natsu. I reach for his hand, his fingers were so close I could feel them.

"N...Natsu...!" I shout.

"Hang in there, Luce. I got you!" he shouts. He makes a big stretch to reach my hand, but then... "NO!"

I scream as I fall of the cliff, I didn't run off of it. I was so close, but I tripped on a rock, I lost my balance and rolled off of the cliff. "NATSU!" I scream as I go down, I end up getting caught on a branch. Thank God!

"Luce, hang in there! I'll come and get you!" shouts Natsu.

"No, it's too dangerous!" I tell him. I look down, beneath me were rocks and a rapids. I'm already dead.

"No, I can get you out-" says Natsu before he was cut off by the screams of my fellow companions.

"LUCY!" shout the girls. Cana hits the breaks on the ATV a little too quickly. She swerves to the very edge of the cliff, but she loses her balance. Cana falls off the ATV with her Mira and Erza, I can see them falling above me. Erza bumps into me on the way down- thus causing the branch to break. The four of us were falling off a cliff, fast.

"LUCY!" shouts Natsu.

"ELFMAN!" shouts Mira.

"NEE-SAN! NO!" shouts Elfman.

"NATSU!" I scream before I hit the water. I'm fading fast. My eyesight become blurry, the last thing I heard was Natsu's inaudible screams before I totally blacked out.
