—————Blue Gang—————————Diary entry-68
We're slowly running out of supplies. Food is lessening, medical supplies is low, and the air filter is running out. I don't want to admit, but I'm scared to scavenge again. We lost a lot of men last time and I can't afford to lose any more men. I don't know what to do.
I haven't slept in days, regretting each day not giving the orders to scavenge. There's people with families and kids. What if they die bec-

"Blehhh" Shivers ran down Aquarius's spine hearing the disgusting sound of vomit. Right when the vomit stops, footsteps could be heard behind Aquarius. "Aqua, the supplies are quite low. Shouldn't we start to scavenge?" Sighing, Aquarius turns around to face her childhood friend. "Yes, I'm aware Libra. Tell Pisces to come over here. We'll be preparing for the scavenge. We should leave in about a week."Libra nodding, his face saddens seeing how tired Aquarius looked. "Alright, after discussing with Pisces. Please get some rest, I know you haven't slept in a few days." Libra says ruffling her hair, and walks away to get Pisces.
After a few minutes pasted Pisces came over quite excited. "Aqua, Libra told me we're going to scavenge again is that true ?" Aquarius nodded, clearly not as excitedly Pisces. "Yes, we are. I can see you're very excited by it." Pisces nods excitedly. "I am! Scavenging is so fun!... You don't look so good. Have you even slept? You seem skinnier too... have you even ate?"
Shaking her head, Aquarius answered his questions. "No, I haven't been sleeping. It's fine though. After scavenging I'm sure I'll be able to sleep again." Pisces pouts a little "Take care of yourself better. After discussing the plans we're gonna go eat and I'm not leaving your side until you sleep."
Aquarius cracks a smile and nods, " Fine, fine. Let's discuss now. Do you have any ideas? I was thinking a store." Pisces thinks for a while and shakes his head. "Let's raid an gang instead~ I heard there's this one s-" Aquarius cuts Pisces off hold his shoulders shaking and yelling at him, "Are you fucking stupid?! We lost 6 men by going to a simple store! A fucking store!
We can risk to go to a gang! There gonna kill us all!" Realizes the scared look in Pisces eyes, she regrets right away shaking and yelling at him. "I'm... I'm sorry." Aquarius sighing rubbing her face. "It's just I've been stressing over this bullshit. I've been feeling such regret on that scavenge. Like it's all my fault."
Pisces hugs Aquarius right away rubbing her back. "It's...fine. I'm sure you didn't mean to yell. I know your stressed out. You want to do a store instead then? We can if you want." Pisces letting go of Aquarius while she shakes her head. "No, finish your sentence about the gang. Maybe it's better than I thought." Pisces nodded right away.
"Alright, there's this gang called the Orange gang. I heard it's basically like second earth. Plants everywhere, and the air is prefect. The thing is that they don't have good security. Making many gangs easily raid it. I'm sure if we can find it we could definitely raid they're gang."
Aquarius nodding hesitantly, "Okay, if you say so then. We'll have a week to prepare then. I'll tell the other soldiers. Be prepared, I can't risk losing you guys like I did with the others." Pisces nods, and grabs Aquarius's wrist. "Alright, lets go eat then~ I'm sure everyone will be happy to see you and go out for once." Aquarius chuckles, letting Pisces drag her into the canteen.
"Wow, look who finally got out of their room~?" Scorpio said, in a joking tone. Cancer smacks his arm "Yah,yah. Don't be rude!" Cancer smiling at Aquarius. "Glad you're finally came out to eat~... not sure if you noticed but I was the one who put food by your door." Aquarius touched by the sweet gesture Cancer gave Aquarius, she hugged the taller female.
"You're such an angle Cancer~. Thank you for the sweet gesture. If I known it was you I would of done something back" Cancer shakes her head, "Alright, alright. It isn't like you to be this emotional. You need food right?" Cancer laughs, letting go of the hug and goes to get them food.
Aquarius sits down, sighing. "Has Libra told y'all we're going to scavenge again?" Everyone at the table nodded, except Pisces of course. "So, what are we raiding?" Aquarius finally showing her devilish smirk after months without seeing it.
"The Orange gang."

*music had nothing to do with the chapter I just thought it would be nice to listen to some jazz while reading*
I forgot to mention the ages of the characters in characters chapter. They're all 21. I also forgot to mention that there are other people in the gangs other than the zodiac signs. The other 6 characters will be shown in the next chapter. This and the next chapter may be the longest chapters in the whole book. I tend to take a while to write them, so I'm very sorry.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed the first chapter.
