"RUNN!!!!"
"HUUUUUUURRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!"
"C'MOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNN!!"
All these voices blend in a frantic state. They are all looking down the road at one girl running up the street. She is running as fast as she can, and for a split second, the road looks clear. But, gradually the Black Army appears coming over the hill, closing the distance.
The ground rumbles, engines roar, wild howls come from the male pursuers behind her. The Black Army rides on mangled dirtbikes and 4x4's and the individual riders are foaming at the mouth as they get closer and closer to their target.
"Come here, girl!" one rider says.
"We're gonna catch you!" screams another.
The girl running throws back a piece of sharp glass, and it sticks the landing in the shoulder of the lead rider.
"YOU LITTLE BITCH" bellowed the lead rider.
"Boys, you know what time it is!"
Almost in unison, they got a little closer, then hit the brakes and hopped off their vehicles. They each grabbed something different, throwing knives, arrows, broken bottles, but the lead rider had something far more dangerous.
He calmly got off his bike and loaded the modified M24 Sniper. The rider closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"You're almost there! Just a little closer!!!" Lucas yelled desperately
She reached out her hand.
GRACE!!!
"Should have never shown your purrty little face" the rider says to himself.
He takes a deep breath, closes one eye, and glares at Grace running away through the sight.
"Should have stayed away..." he mumbled as he squeezed the trigger.
POW!
