An: This one shot is based off the book series Enemy By Charlie Higson. All characters are from that book apart from Max. I have changed it up a bit and made it so it's not exact to the story line but is more or less.

Max's POV

"Arron grown-ups" I pointed out from the front of the crew as I stood next to Achilles. Me, Achilles, Arron, Freak, Deke and Ollie are currently out scavenging for food to take back to Waitrose for the rest of the kids.

I'm Max Hemming I'm sixteen years old and I'm currently in an apocalyptic world where everyone above the age of twenty-four gets diseased and ill. We call them grown-ups because most of them are adults that have the disease and are just nasty. I'm in a group of thirty kids currently surviving in Waitrose and day in day out we are trying to fight to survive. It's been a year since this disease broke out and when it first happened I was with a group of my friends but we got attacked and they all got killed. After that I made my way to Waitrose where I found this group there and even since then I've been with them helping them fight and scavenge. My parents taught me how to fight, make weapons, use the weapons efficiently and how to survive in the wild so I was fine by myself but I thought I could teach these kids how to survive. I've been with these guys for 8 months now and since then me and Achilles have gotten really close. We've had a few romantic moments together but he is very protective and doesn't like me going out of Waitrose without him there with me even though he knows how good of a fighter I am and I'm second in command to Arron.

"How many are there? Can we take them?" Arron asked coming up on my left with Achilles on my right.

"Could be 6 maybe less can't really tell" I said grabbing ahold of my two machetes that are situated on my back.

"Let's take em" I said as I began to walk towards the grown-ups who quickly noticed me and began heading towards me growling and snapping at me.

"Max!" I heard Achilles shout from behind me as he caught up to me.

"It's just you and me let's show them how it's done" Achilles smirked as he readied his spear.

Three grown-ups came towards me and three went towards Akkie. I sliced the first grown-ups throat then stabbed the one behind it in the stomach and kicked it off then turned around and kicked the last one in its knee before driving my machete straight through its skull. I retrieved my machete and stabbed the grown-up in the head that was about to attack Achilles. The grown-up dropped to the ground revealing Achilles stood in front of me smirking with a glint in his eyes.

"You never cease to amaze me with them things" He laughed referring to my machetes as we made our way back to the others who were discussing what to do next.

"You two are perfect for each other" Freak said shaking his head as we cleaned our weapons and placed them back in their places. Both my machetes sat on my back in holders and I had two knives in holders on both my thighs.

"Right let's get this food and get back it's getting late and these bastards are getting brave" I stated and began leading the way again with Arron and Achilles hot on my tale.

After another few hours we were done with our scavenge and were approaching Waitrose's front gates waiting for the crew to open up. They opened up the doors and let us in quickly closing them behind so no grown-ups could get in. As soon as we arrived we were swarmed by kids wanting to know what happened and was telling us about an attack until Maxie came towards us with a guilty look on her face. Maxie was third in command basically meaning if me and Arron were both gone she was the one in charge.

"What happened?" Arron asked noticing something wrong with her as I looked over and noticed Achilles playing with some of the little kids. I smiled as I loved watching him play with the kids as it was always attractive to see a hot guy with kids.
