Bali and Levi stood on the bodies of the dead zombies they just finished battling . They were both covered in blood, so much that it made them look like they were wearing black turtlenecks. They looked each other over.

“I think we did good today.” said Levi with a satisfied grin. He was still wearing his shades despite having already taken them off during their fight. “I’ve never actually killed anything before. It feels good to be able to get rid of all these damn things. I didn’t even know you could go into this mode.”

He took off his glasses and put them back into his pocket. The sunglasses had been there for years; he simply got used to wearing them after being around Levi for so long.

He was pretty sure his eyes would hurt if he tried to take them off anymore than once or twice.

He nodded in agreement as he removed his gloves too.

Levi continued. “But I guess we can come back here again another time. We should probably head home soon.” He looked up at the sun in the sky. “It

    . I just don’t want to deal with you anymore.”“Stop it!” screamed Levi, grabbing the sides of Balthazar’s head. “I said I’ll stop!”“Then I’ll stop. Go ahead. I don’ t want to see you ever again. I can barely stand looking at you.” Levi let go of Balthazar, who stepped back and walked away. He looked over at Levi, then looked at his feet.“You’re pathetic,” he said simply. “And you’re selfish. You don’t deserve to be an adult at all.” Then he stomped out of the apartment.He left the door open. Levi was already staring at the ground, probably too ashamed to go inside. Balthazar sighed before walking away without saying anything more. He headed towards his own apartment, where he was met with Reiner and Bertolt waiting outside. Reiner was eating an apple slice, while Bertolt stood next to him with his arms folded.Reiner noticed him first. “Hey, Hanji! Long time no see! How’s life treating you?”Balthazar shrugged. “It could be worse, I guess.” He walked past Reiner. “Have you seen L

    Eric, in the meantime, was laying on his back on the dirty ground. His head rested on a piece of wood that was laying beside him, and he could feel that he had lost consciousness. He looks around the dusty town with his eyes closed. The last thing he remembers hearing was the bell ring loudly as a warning signal of the approaching danger, but the bells didn't stop ringing.Eric opens his eyes and finds himself on the floor. The sun was still shining brightly outside. Looking back into the hotel room, he sees Devian talking with Devon.Looking at Devian, Eric realizes the latter is looking at a window. Eric follows his direction and notices the same blackness as before covering the streets with darkness, except for the buildings of the town that was still lit up. Then suddenly the world around him begins to change. Instead of being in the same dusty town with its same grey and dirty sky, he now stands in a grassy clearing that is covered in white clouds.Then Eric realizes that the su

Look at them!”Jake glanced over at the undead creatures chasing after them, “They aren't going anywhere”As Jake continued racing down the street, the undead creatures fell in line behind him, closing in on Jonathan and his family. Suddenly, a massive explosion went off, and a few moments later, a large blast of smoke filled the entire street. Everyone coughed loudly as the dust settled. Looking back at the direction the explosion came from, they saw the remains of a building collapsed on itself. The explosion sent p

These kids followed me out of the city gates, they didn't know they were trespassing! Besides I told you, this isn't my first day in New York” he explainedRachel looked over at the teens and couldn't help the smile that grew on her face. She was impressed with how resourceful they had been to get this far, she couldn't believe that they survived being chased by the zombies, she thought that it was impossible.Before anyone could say anything else, a loud roar sounded off and several massive creatures came charging from the woods.“Look out!” yelled Rachel, pulling Jason and Zack un

    After an hour of discussion, the boys finally decided to stop talking and try to sleep.It was already getting dark when they woke up, realizing that it would be impossible to continue strategizing during the night, so they decided that it would be best to leave camp and search for some sort of shelter for the night.“Do we really need all the weapons though?” asked Zack nervously, glancing at the backpack lying in the middle of the clearing“Yes Zack we do!” snapped Jeremy, annoyed by the younger teens doubts, “Look, we'll find somewhere to hide them, okay? But right now you're our best bet at surviving, so we're going to have to be very careful”Zack sighed “Fine” he mumbledThey gathered some branches and leaves from the surrounding bushes which were growing around the area and formed a pile, while keeping their heads down to prevent anyone from seeing their faces.“Come on, let's go” announced Michael after a few minutes of silence“Where? There's nowhere to hide” answered Zack, s

    Are you okay?? Did these monsters do this to you!? What happened to you?!” yelled Zack loudly as he shook the older boy gentlyZack was startled when he heard his voice echoing through the room, although it did seem rather familiar, he wasn't sure. The sight of Zack scared him because he could easily tell that he hadn't seen Zack in a long time. “What are you doing here?? I thought you were dead!!” cried Zack, panic filling his toneZack was still trying to figure out who he was talking too when Michael bursted through the doors with Jeremy trailing closely behind him. “Zack!! Oh my god!!! Are you alright? Where is this place?” exclaimed Michael, frantically checking Zack’s body for any injuries“Michael, shut up! He might be unconscious” warned Jeremy“Oh yeah sorry” said Michael sheepishly as he glanced at Zack apologetically.“He's not unconscious” answered Jeremy, trying his best to contain his laughter“Shut up Jeremy. Zack can hear you” whispered MichaelOnce Zack's senses ret

    Did someone hurt you?!” exclaimed MichaelZack looked up sharply, his expression changing drastically from anger to worry“No, no one” said Zack quickly, taking a calming breath before continuing “My parents abandoned us, so we live by ourselves in the woods. The only thing my mother ever showed me kindness towards was her son, so it’s no surprise that I developed some sort of attachment to them” explained Zack, staring intensely at his lap, clearly frustrated with himself“Are they okay?” asked MichaelZack shrugged in response, deciding against explaining further“How old are you Zack?”“Twenty three years old. Why?” questioned Zack, confused“When was the last time you left this forest?” repeated Michael“Um, about four weeks ago,” said Zack quietly, averting his gaze from MichaelThe boys shared another glance before turning back towards Zack.“Where did you go yesterday? You were out all night” asked Michael“I don't think I need to answer that question” responded Zack, looking s

    A couple hours passed without any real activity, which was a rare occurrence for the group. Everyone seemed to be lost in their own thoughts, trying to figure out what would happen next. After an hour Michael decided it was time to leave.“Alright, we should probably get going soon. If mom sees us in here she's gonna get worried” he said, standing upZack nodded in agreement and grabbed his backpack, following Michael outside. He walked alongside him until they made their way to the car.Michael opened the door and motioned for Zack to slide in. Once the younger boy had sat down he closed the door and got into the driver’s seat. The boys spent the rest of the drive in silence, both deep in thought about everything that had transpired over the past week, each contemplating what exactly they were going to tell their parents when they got home and whether they would continue living there or move into a motel.When they arrived back at the house, everyone was waiting for them.“What took y

    The End

    Hours later the ship was heading towards a car junk as a ship horned loudly, signaling the end of their journey. Roy turns to look at Kori as she stands up, “Let’s go” she said while walking toward the door leading below deck. Roy gets up and starts following her, keeping his distance from everyone else, knowing that they have many questions they want to be answered.When they arrive at the bottom of the stairs, Kori opens the door to one of the rooms, entering before Roy. Roy quickly follows her inside the room and closes the door behind them. He stops walking and turns around to face Kori, “So where do I begin?” he said.“How about the beginning” Kori suggests.“Alright….so let me start by asking you a question...why do you think I’m going to stay here...when I should be trying to find a way out,” Roy asks.“There is a good chance that this mission will turn into a battle. If we stay here until then, the army will capture and use you as a bargaining chip. While that may seem harsh,

    “You never did tell me about the explosion," Roy asked while staring at kori “You saved us...you saved the entire city," Kori replies. “From what?” he asked while staring directly at Kori with the image of a lady flashing before his eyes. Kori walks closer to him while kissing him gently on the kisser. Roy closes his eyes and kisses her back, savoring every moment with her. The two continue to enjoy each other's touch, enjoying the feeling of happiness before pulling away. "I'm sorry Roy" Kori apologized quietly as she looked down. “What?” Roy asked confused by what she said “Why are you apologizing? What for?" Kori glances at Roy briefly before looking forward again “It’s just...well...we've both known that we're soulmates since birth. I don't think we’ve ever told each other that we love each other or even admitted that we were attracted to each other. Even though we knew we loved each other, we didn't say anything. We never wanted to burden the other and risk losing wh

    “Okay, I need to grab something out of my backpack. Stay with me, Roy. Please!” he says while walking towards the tree and pulling out one of the many bags he’s carried around. He opens the bag and begins rummaging through it once again. Then he finds what he was looking for: a small box with a few bottles of liquid inside. He quickly runs back to Roy and kneels next to him as fast as he possibly could without losing balance. “We have to get you into my tent, alright? It’s our only chance.” He places the first bottle of saline on the ground and takes the box out of his pocket, opens it, and puts a couple of pills in his mouth. Roy watches the man drink the water in his mouth and then spit it out immediately, almost choking on it as he continues to look for the proper medication. After gulping two pills down he sets the empty bottle aside, and then picks another one up and pops it into his mouth. “Here, take this one,” he says as he hands Roy the bottle, then moves to pick him up brida

    Roy could hear whispers then he opens his eyes to find himself being pulled across the hallway toward the exit that shone a bright light on his face. His body is hanging loosely from the straps of a chair. He groans slightly as he feels every movement his body makes as he is dragged across the smooth surface of the floor. He tries opening his eyes again, but he sees nothing except darkness for miles and miles. Then something hits him across the face hard. Pain shoots through his right cheek, making him close his eyes again. Then another blow. And another. Then something slams him on the back. “What kind of father do you think the general is? wanting his son dead” he could hear someone talking outHe’s thrown across the floor outside, as the got searching sun burnt through his eyes. later he hears the door close far from him, then he could hear footsteps coming closer to him.

    Back to Reality

    Roy wakes up to find himself floating by the side of the river all drained and wet with some glass pierced right into his stomach. His whole body feels like it’s on fire, from the waist down. The pain radiates throughout his entire body, not just his abdomen but his entire arm and leg are covered in blood. He tries to move his hand, but he can barely budge at all. A dull ache pulses through his head as well. As he stares into the dark water he notices the faint glow coming off of its surface of it, the reflection of moonlight against the dark green water. The air around him is still. Roy can hear nothing except for the sounds of his shallow breathing. Then there’s a movement out of the corner of his eye. Roy turns his head sharply as he hears footsteps approaching him. The sound doesn’t seem very loud though. Maybe they are underwater?The figure emerges out of the shadows. “What the hell happened?” says a familiar voice. That’s the guy who found him. It’s gotta be a trick of his min

    When they start to get hungry, they decide to grab some lunch, deciding to eat in the cafeteria since it is the most popular place to go for lunch. They find a table outside and sit down to eat their lunch.“Have you ever been to the library before?” Trisha asks after eating.“No” Roy admits. He has always liked learning new things about other countries but there were some subjects that his father wouldn’t allow him to study. He was allowed to read historical novels about various countries, but nothing more.“I think I’d like to visit someday soon” Trisha admits “Perhaps after the festival is over”“That sounds great. Are you planning on coming here tomorrow?” Roy inquires hopefully“Maybe” Trisha responds quietly. Suddenly, Roy feels her tighten her grip on his hand. The sight causes him to turn to face her, noticing that her cheeks are bright pink.“Trisha” he says worriedly as he reaches out towards her “Is everything alright?”“Yes,” she says hurriedly “I mean yes I’m fine I’m ju

Some of them are aiming for areas where the zombies weren't moving, hoping for a lucky shot at a zombie who had died due to its wounds being fatal.One soldier is standing alone in front of the group of soldiers, trying to aim with his rifle. He fires off two shots and hits a zombie, causing it to collapse and die. He aims again and fires, missing the zombie by a couple of feet this time. With a sigh, he puts the rifle onto the ground and begins to walk away when he suddenly hears a noise coming from behind him and turns around surprised.Just then a large man runs up to the soldier, grabs him roughly by the collar of his shirt, and drags him off to the tent where he throws him unceremoniously on the floor before leaving and locking the door behind him.

    A new beginning 2

    The next morning Roy wakes up from bed feeling normal, strong, and healthy. He walks out of the tent only to see several soldiers and officers walking around the area. They were dressed in uniforms, and all seemed very busy.Roy notices a woman standing near the tent. She is talking animatedly to someone who is standing behind a wooden bench. As he gets closer he recognizes the woman. She’s wearing a blue dress, and she’s chatting away with one of the guards in Arabic, both of them laughing together while pointing to something in their hands. One of the guards places a hand on the woman’s hip, and they share another laugh while leaning into each other's embrace and resting against each other for a short moment, which ends in them embracing fully. Roy looks at them for a second before turning back towards his destination. He spots the boy that he had spoken to earlier lying on the ground, still sound asleep, with a bunch of toy sheep laying nearby.The boy suddenly opens his eyes and s
