"I'm hungry mom."

"Shh. I know sweetie, I know. Daddy is doing his best out there ok? Let's just be a little more patient."

A pair of mother and daughter silently endured the cold night inside the crumbling walls of a once great mansion. Millions perished in the blink of an eye when the covenant arrived.

Talia and her husband managed to survive the initial blow when they took a vacation in their private villa in the countryside. They were extremely lucky at first, but luck slowly runs out as supplies began to run low.

What once was a prestigious and wealthy family had became nothing more but lowly scavengers. It was a hard fall from grace, but Talia and her husband were determined to survive in the end. Or at the very least, their daughter Nyla would.

A small but heart stopping creak forced the pair to stared at the direction of the dark doorway. Nyla hurriedly hide behind her mother's bsck as Talia nervously aimed the hunting rifle at the darkness.

What once was a well mannered lady was now aiming a filthy golden rifle that had smeared in the name of survival. Novelty items were forced to be weapons of war once more. A war humanity was losing.

A low growl made Nyla whimpered as Talia's hands trembled violently. A heavy footstep soon resounded as every gnawing step made the two closer and closer to cry out in fear.

"M-mommy."

"Shh. Don't worry baby. Mommy is here. M-mommy is with you..."

Talia's voice faltered into the darkness when the being finally showed its true self. The monster was huge. A full 8ft tall behemoth covered what Talia could only described as blood. It smiled grimly in joy, showing its razor sharp teeth like a feral animal. Armed with a heavy crude hammer, it's hairy skin shivers in joy when it finally saw its prey. It was a brute.

"Hik!"

Nyla could no longer held it in as the little girl cried by the sheer volume of stress no child should ever endure. Talia tried to pull the trigger, but her body refuses to obey as the beast inched closer. "It must be my lucky day." The ape whet his lips in anticipation as Talia's skin crawled at the gesture.

"An exquisite appetizer paired with a full course meal. I have not tasted human flesh in a while. Not someone so young as you two." Talia never loathed and feared someone as she does so right now. The monster carried a translator of sort within his armor as his desire to instill fear was evident.

"I wonder what roasted hatchling would taste like. The taste of a salted seared skin must be... delectable." The animal grinned at Nyla as Talia's motherly instinct drags her back into focus. Pulling the trigger this time, she aimed directly at the monster's crotch before turning away and grabbing Nyla. The monster never expected such a low blow as it went a blood craze rage.

"You animals! When I get my hands on you two, it won't be an easy death!" The ape roared as Talia ran with all of her might as she embraced her daughter in her arms. To Talia's horror, she could already hear the ape running towards her. The damn monster recover to fast.

In the blind darkness, Talia ran. Even when her lungs burned, even when her legs screamed, she never stopped moving. Her mind raced only to the safety for her daughter as she ran. It was quite an impressive feat. For a sheltered lady to run so fast without training, it must have been an impressive feat. Thud thud thud.
