CHAPTER 1
It had been about three months since the outbreak, people died almost daily from exhaustion and hunger. The government quarantined the town, not wanting to risk anarchy. A large, thick wall of concrete was built around the city, locking them in. Any person that tried to cross the wall were shot.
Little by little, information on the cause of the virus was leaked out by news. Many newscasters fell to infection and were never replaced. When Anya tuned stations from a few town over, she realized that they were completely unaware of her town's situation. Anytime she tried to access anything on the web about the situation, the pages were blocked.
*
Anya kept her doors locked tight, when before she had only opened it for deliverymen-- now she had them leave the packages at the door, waiting hours for them to leave to bring the packages inside. A few times, she heard scratches and bangs at the door; the others trying to get in. Every time, she would stand at the door paralyzed, afraid if she looked away for even one second the door would break and they would have her. After the first time, Anya raced to her laptop and ordered an aluminum bat and a few deadbolts. She no longer cared if she was going to get her deposit back, she just wanted to be safe.
The days grew gloomy and lonesome, at least before she could talk to the deliverymen. In the beginning she bordered up her windows so nothing could get in. Now it was silence and darkness. It was just a minor change to her usual behavior of keeping herself locked away from the world, but she loved looking outside at the sun and nature's wonders. If she risked seeing nature's beauty, she would be risking the others breaking in.

"The medicine is given to you with a shot. The only thing you need to do now is set the appointment."
"I don't know doctor, I mean a drug fix this?" she asked sweeping her hands over her body.
"I understand, but not to worry dear," he said scratching at his graying beard, "this drug has been accepted by the FDA and on the market for about a month. There's only a few possible side-effects; drowsiness, nausea and a possible headache."
"Well," she paused, "I'll think about it."
*
She snorted, they had been wrong. All of them, so very wrong. Anya spotted the yellowed note reminding her to set an appointment that she had tacked to the front door. That drug which she was so worried to take was the cause of all of this. Luckily, she hadn't taken it so she wasn't one of the infected. Yet. If they got in, she'd be as good as dead.
Anya strolled the apartment, double-checking the locks on the door. She tried prying the boards on the windows and saw to it that her laptop had enough battery power. Then she confirmed that she still had a bat by her bed, flashlight on the nightstand and knife under her pillow.
She lay back on her pillow after stripping to her undies, the past creeping into her mind once again. There was no use trying to pull herself away at this hour, she needed rest, her only escape was denial and distraction. She wasn't good at pushing it away.
CHAPTER 2
Anya tried wriggling out of the cuffs, flexing her toes as she squealed in delight. She wanted to pounce Paige, but Paige was wise enough to tie her down. Paige let her nimble fingers explore Anya's wetting clit as she pressed her lips down onto Anya's, closing off all escape. She slid her tongue into Anya's mouth pushing away all of Anya's fears and giving her all of her desires.
Paige scooted down on the bed, gave Anya's clit a kiss and nudged her strap-on deep into Anya's awaiting pussy. Anya cried out with pleasure, it had been so long since her last fucking. She wanted more, but too timid to beg.
There was a bang of a door being kicked open, Dean rushed in. "Paige, just what the hell do you think you're doin'?"
"Oh, she came to me big brother," Paige thrust deeply in again, "You know that." She sneered, this wasn't the first time one of her brother's loves had turn to her to get what they truly desired.
Anya flushed, gaping at Dean lost for words. He just glared down at her, eyes full of hate and jealousy.
"That's it Anya, this wedding is off!" He stormed out.
*
It was morning, sweat drenched her deep black hair as she remembered reliving Dean finding her deep secret and canceling their wedding. He avoided her since that day two years ago. Paige however, tried hitting her up again. Anya wasn't interested.
This was another failed relationship because of Anya's weakness. She was never going to have a normal life. Anya was diagnosed with hypersexuality also known as nymphomania at the tender age of nineteen. She had just had her second abortion--because her parents refused to acknowledge her sexual life--before her parents had sent her to counseling and gotten her put on birth control. They shakily couldn't handle or at least afford to cover up her behavior anymore.
Since the outbreak, it had been worse for Anya. Yes, she was the one holed up in her apartment before it happened, trying not to reconnect with anyone so she wouldn't ruin lives. If she fell through in controlling her nymphomania, she could always fall back on Paige. But now, she didn't even have that.
*
Anya's stomach growled reminding her breakfast hadn't been received. She yanked open the fridge, as she frustratingly attempted to shake away her thoughts, only to see it was pretty empty. She couldn't believe she had let it get this low. Anya scooped up a yogurt and banana, then squatted in front of the laptop.
She opened her internet browser, but the pages wouldn't load. After trying twice more, she tried and failed at resetting the modem. There were no other networks to which she could attempt to tap into, though she had not a clue as to where they may be. Anya flipped open her cell, dialing the network's provider.
"Due to the apocalypse like state of the community, no one can come to the phone. We will not be sending out technicians in this chaos. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Have a good day, and remember to recommend us to your friends and family!"
She gawked at the cell, what the hell was she supposed to do now? The only other way for her to get food was for her to risk her life and go out there. On the news, the scientists said that the infections was only spread by fluids. As long as she didn't get wet, she should be fine.
If she stayed here, waiting for it to all end she could starve. It'd be a stupid way to go out. Anya would just need to arm herself so that the others couldn't get to close to her, she had her bat and her switchblade.
She gathered her things, which included her weapons, a jacket, purse, flashlight and water. She had no real clue on the situation outside of her door, for all she knew the closest grocery store still stocked could be blocks away and the sun blocked out.
When she fumbled with the locks, her hands shook violently and sweated. She forced herself to relax and finish her small task. The lights in the hall seemed broken, leaving a dark, eerie feeling, she skimmed the flashlight up and down. Seeing nothing, she shut the door as quickly and quietly as she could do in her anxious state and locked the original deadbolt.
