They were surrounded by Zombies.
They came closer ... and closer ...
Somehow they had to get out of here !
Police-Zombie-Au
The Big-Four-ships.

"We have to move, NOW!" Natsu shouted to his seven companions. He twisted his body around to see the undead creatures striding after them. One hand was pressing on the trigger of his gun shooting at the lifeless forms while his other hand was gripping his wife's, tugging her along. He seen a zombie that was faster than the rest speeding his way behind Erza. Quickly, he pulled the trigger a bullet barely missing the red head going straight into the zombies head, making it fall down to the ground unmoving. The pink haired man didn't miss her angry expression towards him.
"What the hell are you thinking Natsu?" His expression stayed solemn, shooting once more at the undead army behind them.
"You would've been zombie chow by now, you should be thanking me." He took a sharp turn, leading the group down another hall of the mall. "You need to be more careful, one wrong move and you become one of them."
"You don't like we know that?" Gajeel gruffed out, pulling his own wife behind him. "Its hard to keep watch when you're looking out for seven other people. We should-"
"If you suggest we split it, you're an idiot." Gray commented, jogging alongside the taller male. "Have you not seen any horror movie? We split up and we're as good as dead."
Erza decided to put her two-sense in before the two dark haired males wasted their remaining energy fighting each other rather than the creatures chasing them. "Theres a difference Gray, this is real life. Not a movie."
"Besides, with our numbers we'll be able to watch out for each other better." Jellal said, shooting behind them a few more times. "We all know what you mean though Gajeel, but its better we stick together."
"My main concern is getting Levy and my kid out safe and sound." He confessed, stopping when he spotted a store they could they could take refuge in for a bit. "Guys, over here!" Levy looked in the direction of her husband, seeing what he saw. The group all rushed to the shelter, Natsu and Gajeel making sure that everyone was inside before shutting the gate. Natsu bent down to seal the lock while everyone shot at the zombies through the openings between the bars. Blood splattered as the bullets went into their skulls, some of it getting on Natsu.
"Watch it! If this shit gets in my mouth we're fucked!" He said is absolute disgust. Finally hearing the gate lock latch, Natsu stepped back and helped his friends in taking care of the last of the mob of zombies. They knew more would come, but for now they needed to regain their depleted energy.
"Thank goodness." Levy sighed in relief, sitting against the wall. Her small hand was rubbing her protruding stomach, trying to soothe the cramps of all the running they've done. "Its okay baby, mommy is going to rest now." Her hazel eyes focused on her belly, tears rushing down her face.
Lucy looked at the tender moment that her best friend was having with her unborn child. Out of instinct, Lucy's hand went to her now flat stomach. She remembered having tender moments like that when she was pregnant. Tears streamed from her eyes.
She wished she could've met her baby.
She felt a hand go on top of hers. She looked up to see her husband, an unnerving expression on his face. "We can't afford to be thinking about the past Lucy." He said seriously, handing her a bottle of water and a bag of chips the boys had found lying around the store. "It still hurts me too. When this whole thing is over, we can try again." The blonde just remained silent, not trusting her voice to speak at this moment. She didn't want to try again. What if she miscarried again? She didn't want to kill another innocent being. Besides that, who knows if they can even get out of this thing alive? She felt one of her husbands arms wrap around her waist, pulling her to him for comfort. She leaned into him, letting his warm embrace wash her nerves away.
"We need a plan." Gray stated, brushing strands of Juvia's blue hair as she laid her head down in his lap. "We can't stay in this damn place forever."
"Agreed." Erza spoke, sitting in between Jellal's legs. She sipped her water, the liquid going down her throat smoothly. "But we don't know how many of those things are out there."
"Theres a hell of a lot, all Magnolia's infested by those fuckers." Gajeel pulled his wife into his lap, resting his cheek on the crown of her head. "Its a miracle we ain't infected yet."
"Well, its not like everyone else is on the police force." Lucy said, feeding Natsu one of her chips. "We would be goners if you guys weren't so highly trained."
"Thats why we have to use our battle tactics wisely." Jellal said, resting his chin on Erza's head. "One wrong move and it could kill us all."
"Gray, Juvia is scared." The blunette said to her husband, trying to let his touch soothe her fears, but at no anvil. He smiled down at her, in another attempt to calm her nerves.
"Its okay Juvia, we all are." He leaned down a placed a soft kiss on her temple. "But I'm going to get you outta this mess alive, or die trying." She nodded her head and closed her eyes, sleep overtaking her body quickly.
Natsu looked around to his friends. It looked like every girl was asleep, even Erza fell asleep. He looked over to his now sleeping wife, kissing the side of her head.
"This whole situation is fucking stupid." Gajeel gruffed out, the boys around the room nodding in agreement.
"For once, I agree with you Gajeel." Natsu sighed out, leaning his head against the wall behind him. "How the hell did this whole situation start in the first place?"
"Before we were ran into this mall, I heard some of the fellow officers saying how someone contracted a virus that made human flesh irresistible. While doctors were testing said person out, they ended up biting one of the doctors and passed the disease onto him. Soon, the whole hospital was bitten, as you can see it spread pretty rapidly."
"Are they making a cure or something? This whole charades been going on for weeks, I don't know how much longer I can take it." Gray leaned farther in the wall, he wasn't really talking about himself but everyone in the small store.
"Yeah, I don't think Lucy can take much more mental stress right now. She's still devistated a-after..." Natsu couldn't finish his sentence, feeling the tears sting the back of his eyes. He didn't want to cry in front of his friends, couldn't show weakness in a situation like this.
Any amount of weakness and they were as good as dead.
"Natsu, its okay to cry man. You lost your baby." Gray remarked, trying to comfort his best friend. "I would cry if that ever happened to Juvia, miscarriages are no joke."
"Thats right. I don't even think I could take it if it happened to Levy. With all the running we've been doing has definitely put some stress on the baby, but our wives are troopers. Then theres Erza." Gajeel joked, making the three men chuckle.
"Well, my wife is co-captain of the Magnolian police force." He proudly kissed her scarlet hair. "It'd kill me if something were to happen to her." All the men nodded in agreement, losing their significant other would surely be their demise.
"Guys." The three men looked at the pink haired man, his features showed he was serious. "If something happens to me. Promise me you'll take care of Lucy for me."
"I promise. If you do the same with Juvia."
"And Levy."
"Erza as well."
The four men sat there in utter silence, the first amount of silence they've had in weeks.
"Man, how whipped are we?" They all laughed at Natsu's comment, unfortunately it was short lived. The sounds of groaning were heard from the back of the store, soon the creatures began to make their appearance.
"WAKE UP WE GOTTA MOVE!" Natsu loud voice rang throughout the store, waking the sleeping girls up. Lucy groaned, not liking being roughly grabbed and forced to stand.
"Natsu-" She took one look to the back of the store, her eyes growing to the size of saucers.
"Come on!" He grabbed her hand, running behind the others to the locked gate. "Shit!" He exclaimed, bending down trying to undo the lock. He fumbled with the thing, the rest of the group panicking.
"Come on Salamander! They're getting closer!" Gajeel shouted, shooting his remaining bullets at the approaching zombies. Trying to pull the trigger once more, he noticed he was out of bullets. He threw his gun at the undead army, noticing that Gray and Erza also threw their guns. He heard the latch give up and looked behind him to see Natsu lifting up the gate and pushing Lucy outside to the hallway.
Jellal made sure everyone was outside, noticing he was the only one with bullets in his gun. He looked behind him, shooting a few more times before turning his attention back to his friends. There was just too many of these creatures after them for them to handle with one gun. He breathed in a sigh before grasping the iron gate, pulling it down.
"Jellal?!?!" Erza shouted, trying to pull the now locked gate that blocked her over up. "What are you doing? JELLAL!?!?"
"Natsu, Gray, Gajeel. Remember our promise?" He quickly shot an approaching zombie in the head, before glancing back at him meeting everyones wide eyes. "You better make sure she gets out of here alive, or I'm going to haunt your asses."
"JELLAL!" Erza shouted, rattling the cage. She refused to let go, even when Natsu and Gray tried to force her off. "JELLAL! I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN! DON'T LET ME ALONE AGAIN!" Flashbacks of her childhood flooded her brain, memories of the 'old' Jellal, constantly bullying and putting the redhead down. Soon, he realized the mistakes he had committed and just how much his words and actions affected her. Not being able to live with his guilt, he left.
He left her all alone.
They finally rekindled their relationship, training at the police academy together. Sucking up his pride, the blue haired man asked the lovely redhead out on a date, and didn't look back.
Now the two have been married for five years, both promising to never leave one another alone again.
But, it looks like Jellal just broke his promise.
"JELLAL! PLEASE! JELLAL!" Erza's eyes were so flooded with tears she could barely see out of them. She didn't miss how Jellal cursed and threw his gun at the creatures.
She knew he was going to die.
She seen his eyes, his beautiful green eyes look at her one last time, his parting words would never leave her mind.
"I'll see you someday soon, Erza." With that, the undead army had trampled Jellal. A pile of twenty zombies on top of the now deceased man.
"JELLAL!" Erza screamed and kicked in desperation to go back to her lover, even though Natsu picked her up dragging her farther away from him. "We have to go back and get him. JELLAL!" She thrashed around in Natsu's arms until he finally turned her around, looking her straight in her eyes.
"He's gone Erza." His words were so simple, but they left a heavy load on the females heart. "I made him a promise, and I intend to keep it. Now come on, I'm sure more are on there way." He turned around, not wanting to waste anymore time. He intertwined his fingers with Lucy's, leading the now group of seven in another direction.
Erza stood in place for a second, tears still streaming from her eyes. She knew Jellal wouldn't want her to be like this, he would want her to be as strong as the day they remet. But, her emotions contradicted her feelings. She didn't want to move, didn't want to do anything. She felt someone tug on her arm, looking up she noticed it was Gray.
"Come on Erza, he risked his life so we could get out of here. Do you want his death to be in vain?" Those words struck Erza so hard she flinched. She sighed, her tears slowing down. No, she wasn't going to grieve over Jellal....
She was going to live for him.
Slowly, she followed suit of Natsu, Lucy, Gajeel and Levy deciding to walk besides Gray and Juvia. She seen the three girls shaking,most likely due to the murder they just witnessed. She sighed heavily, already missing Jellal.
"Shit, I'm the only one with a gun." Natsu hissed remembering the others throwing their guns.
"Isn't there a gun store in this place?" Gajeel said, eyes searching for said store.
"Yeah, its on the second floor next to the bookstore." Levy's voice was still weak due to her constant tears.
"Damnit!" Natsu shouted out of frustration. "We worked our asses off to get to this floor, if we go up there were fucked."
"Hate to say it, but flame brains right." Gray solemnly said. "We need to get out of this damn mall asap, but every exit is blocked by those things."
"We're never going to get out of here..." Gray heard his wife say between her sobs. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a tight embrace. "We will Juvia, we will." He said lowly, they knew he was lying. None of them knew if they were going to get out alive or not.
"Speaking of them, there they are!" Lucy shouted, diverting everyones attention in the direction of her finger.
"Shit, run!" Everyone started sprinting, towards another exit they knew was going to get blocked. They ran, each one of them having little strength, but the will to live was stronger. "I see it! The exit!" He shouted to everyone, seeing that it was unguarded. "Its not blocked! We're going to get out of here-"
He spoke too soon.
Way too soon.
Out of the endless supply of stores, came the ungodly creatures. There had to be at least thirty of them guarding the door, and with another fifty chasing after you.
They were as good as dead.
Natsu tried to shoot his gun, heart dropping.
He was out of bullets.
"S-Shit." He whispered out, all the confidence he possessed falling.
"Oh no..." He heard Lucy say beside him. They were all closing in quick. Natsu used his quick thinking, trying his best to save everyone.
"This way, quick!" They all followed suit of the pink haired man going into a local sporting goods store. Natsu looked around, the iron cast gate was already broken so they couldn't lock themselves in. His eyes picked up a slightly opened door in the back of the store. "I see a door over there, come on!" They all ran inside the door, once inside Natsu slammed the door shut, pushing himself against it until Gray and Gajeel found something to block it off with.
"LU-CHAN!" Natsu quickly turned his head, seeing a lone zombie on top of his wife. Without thinking, he dashed over to his struggling wife tackling the lifeless creature. He struggled with the creature, forgetting that he didn't have any weapons to fight it off with.
"NATSU!" Natsu made the mistake of looking over at Lucy,during that one second of not paying attention he felt something clamp onto his skin.
It was teeth.
Not his teeth, not Lucy's teeth...
The zombies teeth.
Natsu groaned in pain, kneeing the zombie in the gut. He stood up, kicking the creature repeatedly in the head until it started to cave in. Natsu touched the blood running down his neck. He turned around, looking at Lucy.
"Sorry Luce, I guess we can't try and make another baby now."
"Natsu? What are you- Her eyes widened when he twisted his neck exposing the bite mark. "No..." Her words were a disbelieving whisper.
"Natsu..." Gray said, feeling tears at the back of his eyes at the thought of his best friend turning into one of them. "Natsu!"
Natsu looked around the room, seeing some rope. He walked over to Gray, handing him the item.
"Tie me up." His best friend looked up, confused etched on his features.
"W-What?" By this time, Gray and everyone else in the room was crying. Remorse filling them as they were about to lose the leader of their team, the sole reason they were living right now.
"I'm obviously going to turn into one of those fuckers." He stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "You need to tie me up, theres no telling if I'm going to attack you guys." He turned and looked at his wife, who's tears were falling harder and faster than anyones. "And you Lucy..."
She looked up at her husband. "W-What?"
"I want you to kill me." There was an absolute silence in the room, except for the occasional bang on the door by the zombies.
"A-Are you serious?!" Lucy shouted, angry that he would even suggest that. "I-I can't Natsu! I... I love you way too much to ever do something like that!"
"I love you too Lucy." Natsu said sitting down on the ground after Gray had tied his arms and legs together. "Thats why I want you to be the one to kill me."
"B-But I-I..." She couldn't speak. She didn't know what to say... the love of her life just asked her to kill him. What was she supposed to say? "I-I don't have anything to do it with a-anyway."
"I always keep an extra bullet in my pocket." He said, cocking his head in the direction. "Just shoot me in the head, just try not to miss." He tried to remain composed, feeling his blood rushing through his body at a rapid pace. Heart racing faster than he's ever heard it. "Come on Lucy, you gotta do it... or I might kill you all."
Lucy slowly walked over to her husbands tied up form, bending down she put a shaky hand in his pocket pulling out the lone bullet that he mentioned.
"H-How do I load it?" Her hands were so shaky, she was crying so hard. She doubt she could shoot him in the head with how uncomposed she was. Gray walked over to her, a spare gun in his grasp.
"I-I always carry an extra bullet too. Natsu taught me too..." Gray was sobbing uncontrollably as well, loading the two bullets in the gun.
"Hey, Luce?" She looked to her husband, the husband she didn't want to kill... but had too to save their friends lives like Natsu wished. "Can I... Can I have one last kiss?" Without second thought, Lucy bent down connecting their lips for the last time. It was a kiss filled with so much passion if Lucy wasn't kneeling down she sure her knees would give out. She felt Natsu's own tears on her face, as they disconnected Natsu spoke.
"I'm sorry we couldn't make the family we always wanted."
"Natsu don't-" Lucy didn't get to finish her sentence before she seen foam start to come out of his mouth, teeth turning into fangs. He began growling, the iris's in his eyes turning pure white. He got up and began to dash towards the blonde.
"Lucy, now!" Lucy turned away and shot the gun. She heard a splattering, then a thump on the floor. She turned her eyes towards what was left of her husband. Her eyes produced fresh tears.
What had she done.
"I killed him.... I killed him..." Lucy kept repeating to herself though everyone could here. "I KILLED HIM! I KILLED NATSU!" Lucy sank down to her knees, sobs taking over her small body. Her cries were so dominant, she couldn't hear the others tears of desperation as well.
"You had too, Lucy. If you didn't... we'd be dead." Gray said, ignoring his own remorse and placing a hand on the broke girls shoulder. Lucy whipped her hand around, shocking everyone when she placed the gun to her head.
"Lucy, drop the gun." She violently shook her head, scooting as far away from Gray as she could.
"I lost my baby," She cocked the gun. "Now I had to kill my husband." She pressed the gun harder into her head. "I have no reason to live anymore." She smiled maniacally, "By the way Gray, thanks for the extra bullet."
"Lucy, wait!" But when the shot of the gun was heard, it was too late.
Lucy had taken her own life.
It was at the moment, Levy and Juvia's tears were unbelievably loud. The sound of the door being kicked down was heard. The police officers desperately looked for a place to escape, but there was none.
They were goners.
The hundreds of creatures began piling in the room, overpowering the remaining members of the group. Screams were heard and blood was spilled. Who were they kidding, thinking they could survive.
This wasn't a movie, it was real life.
No one truly survived in the end.
