Summoned

Wake up call

"..." I was on the top of a square three-story building that was made of wood and stone. Greenery surrounding the building for as far as the eye could see. A small yard around the building, followed by a one and a half meter tall wall, and a two-meter wide, and five-meter deep moat with concrete walls right after. Inside the moat, wheels embedded in the walls in a line, and on the rim of these wheels, a circular cap. Between the cap and the rim, several long, bloody blades extending like propellers.

"Seventh-day..." I whisper as I grip my sniper.

"Hope it'll be enough to hold them off..." I add as I glance towards the sun, which was slowly disappearing behind the mountains in the distance...

And, as the sun abandoned me and the night started to take over...

Shrieks. Loud shrieks echoed as the darkness of the night took over. A deep red fog slowly surrounding the building I was in...

"Why did I agree to this..." I tapped a button on a pole next to me, and with the crackling sound of electricity, several floodlights flared up around the house. Revealing that the house was now essentially surrounded. Surrounded by humanoid looking creatures, their eyes reflecting the light emitted from the floodlight, creating a sea of little, glistening gems...

Gems that, with another loud shriek, started to run straight towards the moat that surrounded the house...

"The batteries better hold..." I whisper as I press another button next to me, and the wheels in the mote start to rotate, causing the blades to start spinning...

And as the first group of creatures tried to enter the mote, they all got greeted by spinning metal...

Legs, hands, heads, all flying off in different directions. The wet sound of metal ripping through flesh echoing from all around...

I turn to glance behind me. A Blackhawk helicopter parked on the other side of the building.

"If all goes south, I can just bail. It'd be a shame to lose this place. But it's not worth dying over." And as I turned towards the carnage below, I spotted one of these things that somehow managed to pass over the moat and wall, and was now stumbling inside the house's yard. Both its arms were missing, yet it seemed to not even care about it as it just kept stumbling towards the staircase that led to me...

"How the fuck did you get in?" I groan as I lift my sniper and aim at the thing's snarling, lipless face. And with a single shot, send it plummeting down to the ground.

"Now stay out of m..."

-CRASH-

Before I could even finish my sentence, a loud noise echoed from the mote.

Turning to glance at it, I find that one of the wheel blades was now on fire, one of its blades bent towards the wall, creating a makeshift bridge over the death trap. A bridge that the creatures quickly used as they started to flood the house's yard.

"Oh fuck me!" I quickly get up and turn to run towards the helicopter.

It must have taken me less than ten seconds to reach it, yet, that time was enough for the things to reach the roof. Now screaming like madmen as they dashed towards me.

I quickly entered the Blackhawk while making sure the back doors were closed, then I started the engines.

I had barely managed to turn the ignition, when one of these things crashed headfirst on the glass part of the heli's door with a loud thud, creating a large crack at the point of impact. And then, more thuds as the helicopter started to slowly slide towards the edge.
