The Beginning of The End

1. Move constantly. Never stay in one place for more than a day. 2. Keep your head down, don’t mix with other survivors. 3. Stay hidden. Don’t let them spot you. 4. Stay away from cities. 5. Don’t take unnecessary risks. The world ended mid April, civilisation as we knew it was never the same again, some say that the gates of hell opened and swallowed everything in its path; and I can’t say that they are entirely wrong. Electricity was the first thing to go, the first step in their plan to make humanity their slaves, and they had help; covens of fae joined them, buying into the promise of ruling over the mundane. No one knows how they did it, but all at once, all over the world everything just … stopped. Cars wouldn’t start, lights wouldn’t turn on, fighter plains couldn’t defend countries from the onslaught that would follow. Even people’s tired generators that they used in their small cabins in the woods wouldn’t turn over. It was as though technologically had abandoned the human race. ------------------------------------------------------------------- "W-what do you want from me?” I stammer, scared and alone. They smirked, though it was more creepy than humorous. “You’ll find out soon enough, but I wouldn’t try anything girl, you won’t like the consequences of disobeying us.” ”Why have you chosen to keep me alive?“ “We do normally kill every single one we meet, but for you we made an exception.” One of them chuckled, playing with the sharp tip of my ears, "You wanna know why? Because you're ours."
